As this issue arrives in your mailbox, Halloween is here, Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and Christmas is not far behind.

The past year has flown by. I know I say that every fall, but it seems even truer this time. The days and months have literally zoomed by. I guess that’s good because if I wasn’t busy, I’d be bored!

Fall is a great season, the days are cooling down, leaves are changing colors, county and state fairs have wrapped up, and we can take some deep breaths without having to rush to get another project done. The holidays are a good time to reflect on what we have to be thankful for. Look for the joy and good things in your life and your surroundings. Count your blessings and share with others, your family, friends, and community.

This past year has been filled with national headlines that in some way or another have affected each and every one of us. It has been rewarding to see the continued support of the junior livestock industry. Kids are still raising and showing project animals, and parents are still doing all they can to help their children participate in these activities. Some have had to cut back here and there.

Maybe you haven’t purchased as many animals, or gone to fewer shows, but the important thing is that you are staying positive and doing something you enjoy and find rewarding.

The California Junior Livestock Association is celebrating its 10th Anniversary this year. What an exciting milestone! It has been awesome to watch this idea grow into what it is today and to see so many youth exhibitors participate and be rewarded for their efforts and achievements. So much of our award program depends on the generosity of its sponsors. I realize that everyone is giving more thought to where their donation dollars are going, but I am asking you to please put the CJLA on that list. Everything we receive goes back to the members. In order for us to continue to recognize and reward so many kids involved in the CJLA, it is vital that we have your support. If you are interested in donating, or know someone who would, please let me know. We have information available to mail out, and will give anyone a call to talk more about how they can help. If you are a CJLA member, visit with people you know, talk to businesses you frequent, breeders you buy your projects from, and tell them about the CJLA, what it means to you and how you have benefited from being a member. Encourage them to be a sponsor as well.

Recently conducted research suggests that the date change to July will remove one of the major barriers to attendance. In the coming months, State Fair organizers plan to explore ways of combating the other factors that impact the attendance from year to year.

California State Fair Moves the BIG FUN to July Cal Expo Board Votes to Change State Fair Dates to July, Starting in 2010

“We’ll be exploring everything from new entertainment, to more season passes and discounts.”

SACRAMENTO, CA (October 9, 2009) -- The California Exposition & State Fair board of directors today voted to change the California State Fair dates to July, starting in 2010.

It is expected that the Fair industry will adjust to this date change with minimal impact. The only significant additional repercussions to existing participants could be a change in a nominal number of the food and commercial vendors. But Fair organizers see potential turnover as an opportunity to showcase new and different products and services to an ever-changing population of fairgoers.

After a lengthy discussion and considerable research by staff and others, the Cal Expo board cited numerous reasons for moving the State Fair to earlier in the summer. Of primary importance is the decreased conflict with the back-to-school schedule.

An audit of the 2009-2010 Greater Sacramento Area K-12 school population revealed that there are approximately 400,000 school-age children in the State Fair’s target geographic area. Within that area, the vast majority of schools plan to start their 2010 academic year in August, rather than after Labor Day.

“It’s important to understand that this date change is just one part of a multi-faceted, long-term strategy to revitalize the State Fair and the Cal Expo grounds. “

Since 2003, California schools have gradually shifted their calendars to allow for an earlier start date in the Summer and an earlier end date in the Spring. The State Fair’s traditional schedule of ending on Labor Day is in direct conflict with that shift.

Redevelopment of the Cal Expo fairgrounds has already been identified as an important part of that long-term strategy. Discussions with the NBA, developers and other third-parties still continue.

“This institution has a long history of being a destination for families,” said California State Fair CEO and General Manager Norbert J, Bartosik. “Over the last six to seven years we have seen a continual decrease in our weekday attendance and the amount of repeat family visitors because of the school schedule. Fair fans that used to come two and three times during a single Fair season are now able to come only once.”

“We see more potential for growth in the future with this new schedule, although it may take more than one year to see the full results.”

In addition, the Cal Expo events team sees considerable opportunity for a new special event, show or concert to be held at Cal Expo on Labor Day weekend.

Fair organizers believe that a move to July would give families more scheduling flexibility and greater opportunities to enjoy the event in a timeframe that is not so impacted by backto-school activities and expenses.

According to Bartosik. “We plan to host something big at Cal Expo on Labor Day. We’ve already begun discussing the possibilities with promoters and other event planners.”

“This is a major shift for us, but we feel this move is necessary for the State Fair to maintain its legacy of representing and showcasing California culture to Californians. We need to be able to grow and adapt to society’s changes,” Bartosik said.

The 2010 California State Fair is now tentatively scheduled to run for 19 days from Wednesday, July 14 to Sunday, August 1.

The State Fair management has explored the challenges and opportunities that come with a move this significant. Analysis indicates that over the long term,

There’s A Fungus Among Us:

RINGWORM: Part 1

HJ Hamlen, DVM, MS, DACVPM and C. Hinken, MS

fungal infections from handling infected animals! This is called a zoonotic disease and steps should be taken to avoid transmission between individuals of the same species and those of different species.

Introduction - “Ringworm” is a commonly used term for a fungal infection of the keratinized layers of the skin. “Ringworm” is not a worm, but sometimes presents as a “ring-like” area of hair loss, while at other times the hair loss is in a meandering pattern like a worm is crawling under the skin. Ringworm is actually a dermatomycosis (in New Latin dermato- means skin and mycosis means fungal). Dermatophytes (fungi that affect the skin) affect the superficial layer of skin including hair, wool, epidermis, nails, hoof, and horns and usually belong to one of two genera Microsporum (M.) or Trichophyton (T.) with several species being implicated. Dermatophytes are classified as geophilic, zoophilic, or anthropophilic based on their natural habitat. Geophilic fungi naturally inhabit the soil, zoophilic species are adapted to living on animals, and anthropophilic fungi affect people. Superficial fungal infections of the skin frequently produce hair loss, crusting, and scaling but are not commonly associated with inflammation (redness, swelling, heat, and pain) or itching. If inflammation is present, it is usually mild. Infections may also be sub-clinical, or difficult to see, and this is important to remember when trying to prevent the spread amongst animals, especially when they are gathered together at a show or fair. Although there are many species of fungi that can cause “ringworm”, they all have one thing in common - infections are most common in young, debilitated, or stressed animals with impaired or still developing immunity. In animals with competent immune systems the condition is self-limiting, and healthy youngsters generally “grow out” of the condition.

Dogs and Cats: Fungal infections are relatively rare in dogs and cats, and younger animals, or those that have suppressed immune systems, are more likely to show signs. Lesions do not typically itch and present as smooth, patchy areas of hair loss, although crusting, oozing, and pustules may be seen. Frequently lesions are on the face, ears, and paws, but can be seen anywhere on the body. Two fungal species seen in dogs and cats are zoophilic (M. canis and T. mentagrophytes) and are transmissible between pets and people. A third species of fungi, M. gypseum, is geophilic and affects dogs more often than cats. Since its normal habitat is the soil, it affects animals that spend much of their time outdoors and may be seen on the feet and muzzle. Nail bed infections, called onychomycosis, can be seen in dogs and cats and cause cracked, dry, brittle and deformed nails.

Cattle – Ringworm in cattle is more commonly seen in winter months when animals are kept more closely confined in humid barns and have less access to the outdoor sunlight.

Lesions may be seen on the face and neck, and sometimes on the flanks and legs.

Lesions are crusty and wart-like and vary in size. Scabs form, fall off, and leave a hairless patch behind. Calves may develop selflimiting ringworm after weaning. The most frequent fungi that causes “barn itch” is T. verrucosum, but T. mentagrophytes, has also been seen.

Animals affected, fungal culprits, and clinical signs People: It is not uncommon for human animals to be affected by fungal infections of the skin. The parts of the skin affected include the feet (“athlete’s foot”), groin (“jock itch” called tenea cruris by medical professionals) and nail beds.

Signs of possible fungal infection include scaly patches with broken hairs and mild inflammation. It is important to think about where these infections occur in our species – usually in areas of dampness (from sweat), high humidity, and low sunlight (under clothes and inside shoes) as we will soon see these same factors play a role in predisposing our livestock species to infection. In addition, athletes are in close quarters in damp locker rooms and showers and the facilities themselves may be a prefect places for fungi to grow. Also athletes frequently share sports equipment and are in close contact with each other.

People and animals are affected by some of the same fungi and it is important to remember that people can contract october/november 2009

Sheep and Goats – Many species of fungi including T. verrucosum, T. gypseum, T. mentoagrophytes, and M. canis may cause “club lamb fungus”, “woolrot”, or “lumpy wool” in sheep.

The first sign is subtle and is just a matted area of wool. Then typical circular lesions appear on the face, ears, neck, and back and may become thickened, red, and crusty. Wool appears

and cleaning and disinfection can be difficult. For example, when infected sheep are closely sheared fungal spores are released from the wool into the air and may spread to nearby animals, especially lambs with no wool and little lanolin, and into the environment – setting up for ongoing cases in young or stressed animals.

clumped and breaks easily. As with all fungal skin infections, the young are most commonly affected. Common management practices play an important role in disease transmission. Goats are rarely affected.

Conclusion

Pigs - Pigs can develop “ringworm” from several fungal species but the two most common are M. nanum and T. verrucosum. Any age of pig may be affected with lesions starting as small (1 inch), red to brownish, circular lesions that spread and later are covered with a thin, dark, crusty scab. Lesions may be single or multiple and may merge together with time. They can occur anywhere on the body, and are frequently seen behind the ears. There is minimal hair loss and the infection does not seem to affect productivity. The condition is usually self-limiting within 2-3 months but may last as long as 6 months if untreated.

Ringworm affects many animal species and is a zoonotic disease.

Now that we know that there are many fungal species involved (so not every case looks the same), what animals the fungi affect, the clinical signs to look for, and the transmission we’ll save diagnosis, treatment, and prevention for the next issue. See you then!

Horses – “Girth itch” is caused by one of five common fungal species that affect other animals and man and usually occurs in the area under the saddle where sweat accumulates. Horses standing in muddy corrals may get fungal infections on the skin near their hooves.

Transmission Ringworm is passed through direct and indirect contact. People can contract the fungus by touching an animal with ringworm, and can carry the spores on their clothes and on their hands and pass them to other animals and people. Furthermore, the fungus can be passed between animals and onto humans via objects.

Grooming equipment (brushes, shears, clippers, etc.), blankets, pens, fencing, and bedding can all carry fungal spores. Once the environment is contaminated the spores can persist for years,

Year-End Planning for Business Owners

By José A. Guerrero

cent of the cost of most new (not used) equipment and software acquired and placed in service by the end of 2009. This bonus depreciation benefit is scheduled to expire at year-end unless Congress takes further action.

It is not uncommon for business owners to frantically call their accountants and attorneys the week between Christmas and New Years in an effort to minimize their tax burden for the current taxable year. Unfortunately, this is often a call placed too late.

While business and tax planning should be done periodically year-round, the beginning of the fourth quarter is not a bad place to begin. So, what should you do?

More Traditional Tax Planning Strategies May Be Used in Any Given Year

Good Data

Defer Income. Depending on your circumstances, it may be wise to defer some taxable income from this year into next, especially if you expect to be in a lower tax bracket in 2010. For example, if you are in business for yourself and a cash-method taxpayer, you can postpone taxable income by waiting until late in the year to send out some client invoices. That way, you won’t receive payment for them until early 2010.

It starts in your own accounting department. It is critical to have good systems and processes in place to quickly and accurately deliver reliable information to your accountant. Too often a business owner will deliver the proverbial “shoe box” of receipts, and that simply will not be enough. The more accurate the information delivered, the better the advice you will get.

Prepay Expenses. You can also postpone taxable income by accelerating some deductible business expenditures into this year.

For example, businesses may be able to prepay some or all of its 2010 rent, workers’ compensation premiums, and other expenses.

Be careful with this strategy because not all prepaid expenses qualify for full deduction in 2009.

Seek the Advice of a Professional In the age of TurboTax and other self-help resources, it is easy to attempt to navigate this process on your own. However, this year is particularly confusing in terms of what tax benefits the legislators are enacting, extending or sun-setting. Seeking the assistance of a qualified tax advisor is important.

Charitable Contributions. If you give to an eligible charity (i.e. a 501(c) (3) organization), your contribution will be 100 percent deductible from state and federal taxable income.

Before you arrive at your advisor’s office, develop a list of questions and issues you would like considered. For example, are you thinking about buying another business to help you grow, or merging with a competitor in an effort to survive? These questions should be part of your discussions since the answers will certainly have tax implications for your business.

The last thing anyone wants is an unexpected tax bill. Being proactive will help you avoid this problem and allow you and your advisors time to think through the potential ramifications of your decisions, also giving you the opportunity to enjoy that week between Christmas and New Year’s!

Take Advantage of Generous 2009 Business Tax Breaks

José A. Guerrero is a partner with the law firm of Klein, DeNatale, Goldner, Cooper, Rosenlieb & Kimball, LLP. His practice focuses on business counseling and transactions, with a special emphasis on farming clients in the California Central Valley.

Mr. Guerrero’s kids are actively involved in raising and showing sheep as members of the Rio Del Norte 4-H Club in Bakersfield.

Several favorable business tax provisions have a limited shelf-life requiring action taken between now and year-end. The following are examples that may be relevant to you: Larger Section 179 Deduction. Your business may be eligible for the temporarily increased Section 179 deduction. Under Section 179, an eligible business may be able to claim first-year depreciation write-offs for the entire cost of new and used equipment and software purchases. For tax years beginning in 2009, the maximum deduction is $250,000. Unless Congress takes further action, this benefit may not be available in 2010. Note that various limitations and exceptions apply to the Section 179 deduction privilege.

The Only Guarantee in Life is

DEATH & TAXES

By Casey Gudel

Unlike other types of estates, farm and ranch family assets consist almost entirely of investments in land, buildings, livestock and production tools such as specialized equipment, irrigation systems and processing units.

Back in Washington, D.C., there have been a number of issues dominating the conversation. Between health care, climate change and food safety – Congress has had a hefty agenda to fulfill.

You could say most farm and ranch families are “land rich and cash poor” – leaving very few assets and little liquidity to pay estate taxes. This often results in families having to sell a portion or the entire operation in order to pay the taxes.

One item that has not been in the headlines, but guaranteed to be discussed in the coming months is the Estate Tax. The estate tax, death tax or inheritance tax as some would describe it, is a tax imposed upon the estate of every decedent who is a citizen or resident of the United States.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, of all the estates, farms and ranches are 5 to 20 times more likely to owe estate taxes with the average net worth of “taxable” farm assets to be worth $7 million.

In addition to the federal estate tax, some states also impose an estate tax at the state level. For California residents, the state estate tax was eliminated in 2005.

California is particularly vulnerable to such assessments. As California continues to become more urbanized, farms and ranches find themselves in the path of development, facing even greater hurdles since the estate tax is based upon far higher appraisal values.

Why is 2009 a turning point for the estate tax?

In 2001, the Bush Administration put forth a number of tax breaks approved by Congress, including the estate tax. Each year since implemented, the monetary level in which an estate is taxed has raised and the rate in which it is taxed has decreased.

For farmers and ranchers, there is a glimmer of hope. In July a Congressman from California, Mike Thompson (D-CA), and a Congressman from Colorado, John Salazar (D-CO), introduced legislation to protect our family farms and ranches from the estate tax.

Prior to the Bush tax cuts, any estate with assets above $1 million was taxed at a 55% rate. Since then, the level in which estates are taxed has increased to the current exemption level of $3.5 million at a 45% tax rate.

H.R. 3524, the “Family Farm Preservation and Conservation Estate Tax Act” exempts farms and ranches from the estate tax if the operation stays in the family as an agricultural operation OR is part of a qualified conservation easement.

What makes this issue so important is that 2010 marks a complete repeal of the estate tax - where absolutely no taxes would be imposed upon estates, regardless of their size.

The California Farm Bureau Federation, along with 34 other agricultural organizations, has joined in a coalition to preserve our nation’s farms and ranches and support this piece of legislation.

However, full repeal of the estate tax seems unlikely as President Obama repeatedly advocated for freezing the estate tax at the 2009 level throughout his campaign. Thus, this issue is certain to be brought up in the coming months.

While it is still too early to determine the fate of the estate tax, at least we know that there are people out there working to preserve our rich agricultural heritage.

Now, you might be thinking $3.5 million is a lot of money – why should I care? It’s just the wealthiest of Americans who are faced with this tax and they can afford it.

Not unlike the many farm and ranch families that fill this great state, my family also have concerns about the estate tax. My Great-Grandparents purchased our ranch in Mendocino County in 1944, with the intent of the ranch to sustain generations to come.

Unfortunately, many Americans have this mindset and have no idea that California’s family farmers and ranchers have been struggling with the estate tax for generations.

For more than 30 years I have watched my own parents work on our cattle and logging operation. Having faced the death of my Grandpa this year, I can only hope that this piece of legislation passes or is incorporated into another piece legislation.

As you travel up and down Highway 101, Interstate 5 or Highway 99 – and see the farms and ranches that feed this state, this nation and beyond, you can guarantee the estate tax is in the back of each of their minds.

NSR seeking Field Representative The National Swine Registry (NSR) is seeking to fill a field representative position.

This position will require considerable travel and could involve more than 100 nights on the road each year. Location is flexible within the designated territory, but access to a major airport in the Midwest would be advantageous.

The successful candidate will travel the Upper Midwestern states and will represent the NSR and the National Junior Swine Association and their members at various events and functions. These will include, but are not limited to: NSR Type Conferences, NJSA events, state fairs, member farm visits and sales.

A degree in animal science and a background in the purebred swine industry is preferred, but not required. The successful candidate should excel in communication skills and have the desire and ability to assist NSR and NJSA members.

The NSR Field Representative will also: encourage the recording and registration of purebred Duroc, Hampshire, Landrace and Yorkshire swine by the NSR membership; provide assistance to breeders in the areas of selection and genetic improvement; and sell and promote advertising for the NSR magazine, Seedstock EDGE. october/november 2009

Please direct questions and resumes to Darrell D. Anderson, Chief Executive Officer, National Swine Registry, P.O. Box 2417, West Lafayette, IN 47996-2417; phone 765.463.3594 or darrell@ nationalswine.com.

Deadline for applications is Nov. 10, 2009.

Lesson: Sometimes you win.

Sometimes you say, “Oh.”

Once we got Alexander lined up side by side with the other purebred Herefords and Angus, we could see the difference. He was fat and slick, but heavy-fronted and pinched behind and that shiny butterscotch hide was a dead give away that he was a Guernsey in a Hereford suit.

Lesson: What? Me worry?

Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Learn

Of course I didn’t make the sale, wasn’t even close, but I wasn’t disappointed and certainly wasn’t discouraged. I had just spent the best week of my life hanging out, making tons of new friends, most who knew so much more than I did and were willing to help me.

With all the great lessons I was learning, the only way was up!

“Learn by Doing.” For close to a hundred years, this has been the 4-H motto and the principal teaching method at California’s Cal Poly Universities. It has served both well. What does it really mean? It means learning a skill by actually doing it, not merely watching a demonstration or listening to a lecture. It means getting down and dirty and learning from your mistakes.

Animal Groups

Some of these group names everyone will know, some are descriptive and some are just bizarre. Have fun matching the animal and its group name together!

While I learned much from my successes, the greatest teacher was my mistakes.

Lesson: Don’t show a Guernsey in a Hereford suit.

Shiny butterscotch-colored hide, four white socks and a broad white face, Alexander had the color pattern of his purebred Hereford sire and proved that his mother, Cookie, was one of the best milkers in our family’s herd. Little unweaned Alexander looked like the steers we had seen at the fair and his personality, like his mother’s, was calm. He was chosen to be my first market steer entry at the Del Mar Fair. I had some success with my previous fair project, my blue ribbon winning Holstein heifer, Belle, so my parents thought that I was ready to kick it up a notch.

Lesson: Hair, hair everywhere: Belle had these little horns poking from her head. I think my dad was a bit embarrassed that we hadn’t taken care of those long before the fair, so Belle was shown in all her shaggy glory. She had the most beautiful coat. We topped her grain with scrambled raw eggs and washed her weekly with egg shampoo, but that brilliant black and white hide wasn’t enough to place me higher than dead last. Shiny was great; shaggy was not. We were not going to make the same mistake with Alexander. Before he stepped one hoof into the ring, he would be clipped and polished to the nines.

Lesson: Equipment matters My dad’s craftsman skills were honed by the depression. There wasn’t anything he couldn’t build or repair. Broken water pipe?

No problem. Need a new steer pen? He was on it. Need something to set up Alexander’s feet? All righty then, a broomstick, a nail and some chrome paint, and voila, a showstick. Great for pushing his feet back, but impossible for pulling forward. In a box somewhere, there’s plenty of awkward poses recorded forever on Kodachrome slides.

Hit a Home Run with

By Rachelle Bailey

Gilt & Sow Management her back into production as each day she is not producing she is losing money for the operation. Average gestation is 114 days, so to determine the females due date count the days starting from the original date she was first bred. Make sure to record this information on a card or calendar to determine when the female needs to be vaccinated and placed into a farrowing room or crate.

As we come into the Fall I have just realized something — baseball season is over!! I may not know everything about baseball, but one of my favorite things to do in the spring and summer is going to San Francisco Giants games. I am not an expert at the game of baseball, but I do use some of its ideas in our everyday management of our gilt and sow herd.

Double

As breeders we must become good managers to run a successful operation, no matter what the size of operation. I feel that sometimes all we think about is getting the female bred but can easily forget about other key management practices. Good management is crucial to a successful operation.

If the female showed no signs of heat during her heat checking period, chances are she is bred. However it’s a good idea to continue to monitor your gilt or sow daily for any physical signs.

I would also suggest having an ultrasound done on the female between days 28 to 35 to ensure that the female is bred.

Get on deck

Triple

I would suggest working with a veterinarian to determine what your herd’s immunity status is before doing any breeding. Proper vaccinations should follow. The female should be put onto a gilt development diet, and should be bred at about 300 lbs. and 7-8 months of age. I would suggest using physical boar exposure on gilts that are around 200 lbs. Sows which are on different schedules should also be re-vaccinated and monitored for heat. I would suggest breeding gilts on their 2nd or 3rd heats most gilts start to come into heat when they are around six months old. Keep proper records on the female, including when she started to show signs of heat, when she came into standing heat and when she came out of heat. These records will help in determining when to order semen for the next time she comes in. Most females will come into heat every 18 to 21 days.

Proper feed management should take place during gestation. I would suggest using conditioning scores on the gilts and sows to prepare them for the lactation process. Most sows and gilts should be hand fed during this time at between 5 to 6 lbs a day. Too much or too little condition or amount of fat on the animal should be monitored and managed. Feed intake should be adjusted for the individual animal to prepare her for farrowing. During this time there are certain vaccinations that are given; each herd can be very different, so I would suggest working with a veterinarian to determine what your herd status is and what you should be vaccinating for.

Home Run

Batter up

I would suggest placing the sow into a farrowing room or crate at around day 110. Sometimes gilts and sows can farrow earlier and it's best that their piglets are born into a sanitary and warm environment. The sow should be cleaned prior to being placed into farrowing. Monitor the female at least 3 times a day and place heat lamps and or heat pads in the farrowing environment. Once the female starts to farrow or give birth, time and monitor her progress. Most females will farrow around 10 to 12 piglets but sometimes assistance may be needed. After the sow has farrowed make sure she has cleaned out the entire placenta. Because these sows are lactating, feed intake should be increased. I would suggest feeding the sows three times daily. I would start them out slowly and increase them up to five pounds a feeding.

Once the gilts are ready to breed, they should be heat checked twice daily, once in the a.m. and once in the p.m. It’s a good idea to have physical boar exposure. Signs of heat include: swelling of the vulva, swelling of the underline, discharge, riding, restlessness, and lack of feed intake. Usually gilts and sows will show signs of heat 2 to 3 days prior to standing heat. Standing heat is when pressure is placed on the females back and when she will accept the boar. Many breeders will breed the female at least 2 times and in some cases even 3 times. Proper timing is key so if you have a good schedule in place I would wait 8 to 12 hours after the female is found in heat for the first breeding and follow up with the second breeding 24 hours after 0 hours (when she was first found in standing heat). Most gilts will stay in heat for about 48 hours but on average most sows will stay in for about 72 hours.

If the female is not monitored twice daily and you are unaware of when she first came into heat, I would say breed her at hour 0 (when you find her in standing heat).

I would also suggest keeping females in production that can produce high quality litters. I have always followed the rule of "three strikes and you’re out."

If the gilt or sow is not producing and continues to recycle and not become bred, she may have a problem and may need to be culled from the herd. If proper gilt and sow management is done on your operation than you can ensure a “win”. Let’s go out there and play ball and become better swine herd managers!

Single Once the female is bred, she shouldn’t show any signs of standing heat. I would suggest starting to heat check her 16 days after her first mating and then continue to check her twice daily until day 23 because every female is different. It’s a good idea to check a few days before and after the average 18 to 21 days. Again, look for signs of heat which include: swelling of the vulva, swelling of her underline, discharge, riding, restlessness and lack of feed intake. If the animal is “open” or not bred it is so important to get october/november 2009

october/november 2009

By Terry L. Burks

their top. The second shape we often refer to is the square shape.

This shape is generally associated with very heavy muscled, big topped, square-loined goats. The modern term of loin edge squareness is generally associated with this type of shape. Again, these goats possess excellent rib shape and width to give this squarer top shape. The difference between this top shape and the groovetopped shape is the diameter of the rack and loin muscle. The third shape and generally most common shape related to market goats is the round topped shape. These goats are generally muscular but do not have the rib shape or width of skeleton associated with the two more ideal shapes. The final shape is often referred to as the “house-topped” shape. (See photo #2) These goats are always flat and shallow or “kidney bean” shaped through their rack and loin.

Likewise, these goats are flatter in their rib shape and always narrow based. The difference in loin eye area between the two photos shown is over 2.5 square inches. That is a huge difference!

Judges spend the majority of their time when handling goats attempting to evaluate trimness, touch, freshness and most importantly muscle shape. Yet when they discuss classes on the microphone, they typically refer to goats having more shape or being thicker. Sometimes they will even use the terms less shape or the loss of shape. To the crowd around ringside, these are often confusing terms that are difficult to see. This article is designed to help you understand what top shape is and what it should or should not look like.

The challenging part of evaluating top shape in goats develops as they fatten. Realize that as goats fatten, they always get wider topped. As these layers of fat develop on the top of your goat, the top shapes we have discussed change dramatically! This fat development down the top of a goat is often referred to as “shelfing-out.”

Goats that are round or “house-topped” in their shape will become more square in their top appearance as they get fatter. ***Realize that no amount of fat will make a goat “groove-topped” in their shape. This is often the issue that raises much concern with judges that have limited experience with goat carcasses and likewise one of the many reasons that we must keep goats extremely lean!

When training judging teams, I teach them to never evaluate top shape or top width until they have determined the fat level of a goat.

In previous articles, I have discussed the foundation of having top shape. This foundation begins with having the correct rib shape.

The ideal shape is when the rib is rounder or more oval in shape. I often refer to the “fish” principal. Ideal shape through the rib cage is similar to a catfish. When a catfish is placed belly-down on a flat surface they simply sit Photo #1 there because of their base width and rounder body shape. The opposing “fish” shape is that of a bluegill. When a bluegill is placed belly-down on that same flat surface they will flop over on their side. This occurs because the bluegill has no base width and is flat sided. This principal also applies to kid goats. The wider based and more open or curved in their rib shape the more muscular they will be. More simply stated, since the rack muscle lies on top of the rib cage, the wider or more boldly sprung the rib cage the more width of rack and top shape a goat will possess. Obviously a goat that skeletally is 12 Photo #2 inches wide will be wider topped and heavier muscled than a goat that is 8 inches wide skeletally. Additionally, goats that are more threedimensional through their body cavity will have rounder more shapely racks and loins whereas flat ribbed, narrow goats will have flatter more “kidney bean” shaped tops and thus have less expression or top shape.

The final analysis in determining whether a goat has true shape or “fed-on” fat shape is to evaluate true base width. All animals should be evaluated from the ground-up and from the rump forward. A wide topped goat should be as wide or wider at the ground. This will let you know that your evaluation of top shape is correct. If a goat is wide and square topped but is narrow on the ground, then you know you have a counterfeit—fat goat! In the goat world, this system never fails.

With these two extremes in mind, what are the basic shapes that relate to a goat’s top and how do they change as goats mature and fatten?

Another issue that often arises is when animals begin to lose muscle shape due to maturity or mis-management. The terms “washed-out”, “high-chined”, or “flat-racked” refer to goats that are losing their top shape due to dehydration, limit-feeding, maturity or poor management.

The most ideal shape is grooved topped or “butterfly” shaped.” (See photo #1) This shape is more commonly seen in modern market hogs. Although I have only seen three or four goats in my entire judging career with this extreme muscle shape, it does exist. These unique animals are always extremely wide based and have ideal rib shape. These goats have extremely round, deep loins and racks. Along with this shape, they are exceptionally wide topped animals giving the appearance of having a groove down october/november 2009

Hopefully this discussion of top shape will aid in the evaluation of your goats and will help you better understand the next time a judge begins discussing your animals muscle shape.

I Love Farmers...They Feed My Soul Students supporting American family farmers and ranchers have taken the internet by storm. In just over 120 days they have over 13,000 people in their “I Love Farmers…They Feed My Soul” Facebook group, making it one of the fastest growing groups on agriculture in the social media cyberspace. What started as an independent grassroots effort in San Luis Obispo by Cal Poly State University agricultural communications students and their professor has become the buzz on Twitter and in blogs all across America.

“We have a passion for agriculture and are concerned friends our age have no clue where their food comes from and how it is produced,” said Alexis White a recent Cal Poly graduate and one of the catalysts for the project. “We want to change the way agriculture is portrayed to consumers. We may be young, but we are not stupid. Farmers and ranchers are vital to our economy and our national strategic defense. When we outsource our food supply, our country will be in jeopardy.”

Using a creative and provocative approach, the students want to reach out to their urban contemporaries and communicate using the tools common to the younger generation. Dr. J. Scott Vernon, the agricultural communications professor leading the group says, “Young people today are digital natives. They live their lives online and connected. To be effective at reaching young consumers, the agriculture industry must change the way it communicates.

I’m proud of the students and how they have embraced this new paradigm shift. They are the true leaders in social media communication.”

forts and trust our motives.”

“Quite frankly,” says Vernon,” that has been the interesting part of this effort. The agriculture leaders, who are typically older, do not understand the social media world.

So, not only are we trying to educate consumers, we have to educate farmers and ranchers. We are doing what farmers say they need, but we need their help too.”

Annalisa Clarke, one of the young campaign managers says, “We recognize the importance of being present in the new media world. If we are not there helping to educate the next generation of consumers and voters, American family farmers and ranchers will struggle to survive. We can’t let that happen.

Of course we need current industry leaders to support our ef-

Clarke says, “Our website and Facebook group have thousands of visitors each day. We are maintaining a conversation about agriculture on a peer-to-peer level. We encourage people to participate in the dialogue. We can also use financial support. Any donations to our cause are greatly appreciated.”

RANDY JONES

Survive shipping stress with a solid nutrition program Jim Heavens, US Feeds nutritional program.

Remember your first day of school as a child? Your parents placed you on the school bus with other kids your age that you did not know and shipped you off to a brand new place with rules, books and teachers. You probably felt a little scared and jittery, and most likely a little stressed.

There are steps you can take to make the transition easier and less stressful for your animal.

• Creep feed a scientifically-formulated ration to the calves.

• Avoid shipment during weather extremes.

• Avoid feeding wet byproducts when the show animals are moved.

• Give an approved medication or medication combination at the highest legal level per label claim after and/or before shipment.

• Supply as much clean, bright hay as possible on arrival, especially in cold weather.

• Increase the energy density of the ration slowly.

Now imagine how show animals must feel with the tremendous stress placed on them during the transition from the ranch to fair grounds. During a period of one day they are placed in a completely different environment with different food, water and social structure. This can cause stress to the animal and take money out of your pocket.

Many major problems such as the occurrence of disease, death loss, and poor performance of show animals are associated with the shipping event.

An animal under shipping stress will exhibit symptoms such as: • A lack of appetite • Very loose manure or a very dry small volume of manure • Drooping cold ears • “Gaunt” look or no fill • General lethargy and head down • Shivering during cold weather • Mucous hanging from the nose • Coughing • Excess mud/manure on hair • Blood in manure • Kicking at the belly (hardware or calculi)

Some medications are thought to stimulate the immune system. If adequate trace minerals are not present or absorbable at this point, this response cannot occur.

You need to make sure the immune system is ready to do its job quickly and ready for the move. US Feeds recommends that 30 percent of the zinc, copper, manganese and cobalt come from the highly available Bioplex® minerals from Alltech®.

Experience has shown that this small investment can yield subtle yet substantial results in stressed show animals. Bioplex trace minerals are necessary for the proper functioning of the immune system of the animal. By maximizing the mineral status of your animals and getting your animal to eat well, you are well on your way to a successful feeding period.

Not every animal shipped will demonstrate signs of shipping stress immediately after a move. Generally, larger animals have less tension. For example, a 250-pound calf would make a trip easier than a 185-pound calf and a 550-pounder easier than a 450 pound animal. Weather can also play a part in causing strain.

Show animals can become more susceptible to stress during very cold weather, wet weather where show animals can slip on wet surfaces and during extreme heat.

The next time you take your show animal to the fair grounds, consider their level of anxieties and yours. Do they seem a little jittery and nervous? Are they displaying any signs of shipping stress? Through good management and sound nutritional programs, you can minimize the animals stress level and keep your investment performing at their peak.

Stressed animals that arrive to the fair grounds can be more vulnerable to respiratory and enteric disease, especially if their previous home had a poor

Going, Going, Going

Natural!

Delivering natural performance used to seem like an auction. Everyone had something to sell and the price kept going up. Traditionally, natural was synonymous with expensive and unreliable.

Well, not anymore.

Investing millions of dollars in research - at 75 universities and institutes in 2006 alone - Alltech has proven that natural can mean better, reliable and cost-effective, consistently. In fact, our research team has achieved 160 funded university and research institute trials and received over $3 Million in grant support globally.

As the world goes natural, it is understandable why the feed industry is turning towards Alltech.

Today 24 out of the top 25 feed companies of the world have concluded that Alltech is the partner of choice when it comes to achieving natural performance. Go with the leaders.

It’s simple.

Alltech knows natural.
