from the

editor

Today I am working on the upcoming CJLA Banquet – wrapping up the last minute details and calling the people on my list who have promised to help or donate, or just come and offer their support. By the time you read this magazine, of course, the CJLA Banquet will be a thing of the past (February 18th), but its effects will last for a good while longer. I know for myself, I have been most impressed that each of my calls for help has been answered with a positive response. I am proud to say that the people I know step up to the plate when something needs to be done.

Through this magazine, school, family, and the livestock industry, I have a large support system that I can call on. These people I hold dear to my heart because of the caring for each other that is shared. I cannot begin to express in words, my appreciation for what everyone does for me.

P.O. Box 41430 • San Jose, CA 95160 (408) 776-7611 • Fax (408) 776-9811 Publisher & Managing Editor: Heidi Beljean — (408) 888-2503 Email: pacshow@earthlink.net

Everyone knows the saying, “What goes around, comes around.” I definitely believe this is true. It may take awhile, but how you act, think, or treat someone, will eventually catch up with you in either a positive or negative way. If you always treat someone with respect, encouragement, and grace, you will be treated back in the same way. You may not even realize that so many people around you are aware of what you are doing and how you are acting. They are forming an opinion of the type of person you are, just by observing your behavior. Always treat others as you would want to be treated. Even in the showring, be gracious and positive to your fellow exhibitors. You may win today and be happy, but tomorrow you may not. Be the kind of person who will have others wanting to congratulate you on your wins, or encourage you when you don’t.

And don’t forget that the person you are now, the way you treat others now, will affect you further down the road of life. I can honestly say that the reason I have so many who want to help me now is because of how I treated others and cared about each of them from the first time we met.

Production Manager & Art Director: William Crump — (662) 257-1998 Email: pacificshowcase@gmail.com Representatives: Katina Costerisan (661) 330-6392 (TX) Mike Rusher (503) 888-1823 (OR) Tiffany Carter (530) 409-5143 Pacific Showcase limits its liability resulting from any and all errors, misprints and/or other inaccuracies in the advertisements and editorial content. The opinions or views expressed in all editorials are those only of the writer or persons interviewed and not the Pacific Showcase.

Today I am excited about the future. Because of the generosity of everyone I contacted, the CJLA Banquet will be a success. We will be able to recognize and reward each member for their accomplishments. It is always a joy to see so many children and their families enjoy the banquet together. The livestock industry and youth raising and showing project animals, is really about family. Family time together – working on a goal, helping a child to learn responsibility and commitment, making and sharing memories. These are special days!

Reproductions or other use of this magazine in whole or part of the contents without written permission of the editor is prohibited.

Pacific Showcase welcomes readers contributions. Articles of interest, show results, sale results, and calendar dates are welcome and will be printed on space available. To have articles or pictures returned, include a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Send all submissions to address above.

Pacific Showcase is published bimonthly. It is mailed first class and third class bulk mail at Morgan Hill, California. Postmaster: send address changes to Pacific Showcase, P.O. Box 41430, San Jose, CA 95160.

Tougher times seem to be the new normal. It’s something we are all getting used to. I think we are all beginning to realize that if we want to keep certain activities, programs, or whatever, going on and being available, that we all need to put out more effort. So many people are still trying to do for others even though it is costing them more than it did just a few years’ back. As you go through your days, please be sure to say Thank You. Two little words with such a huge impact. The difference between “wanting to” and “giving up”.

Subscriptions: (Bulk mail - one year - $25; two years - $45.) (First class - one year - $35; two years $65.) For processing of new subscriptions - please allow 4 to 6 weeks. For address corrections, send current mailing label along with new address to Pacific Showcase.

Time to Plan Ahead!

Each year gives me something positive to look forward to. (And I don’t mean another birthday!) I come up with ideas for new projects, lists of things I would like to do, and goals I want to achieve. I have some good ones this year and I am getting started right away to get them accomplished. And I have those great friends and contacts just a call away anytime I need their help, advice, or support. A good kick in the rear, or an “atta-girl Heidi”, will be just what I need somewhere along the road of my life. It’s a great feeling to know they are there – waiting. Who do you have in your corner?

The April/May Issue is our

Cattle, Lamb, Hog and Meat Goat Sires Issue

Pacific Showcase is updating too. We are constantly adding to our website and posting news on our Facebook page. Be sure to check in often and see what has been added. If there is something you need and we can help, give us a call or send an e-mail. There are many, many services we offer and projects we can get done for you.

Since goats are often unique in their markings, it is helpful and sounds knowledgeable to use their markings when you are talking about them. This would be especially true when giving oral reasons. Except for “Cape” which is a big marking that covers

Birth Announcement Gentry Lynne Gudel was born on September 30, 2011 at 7 lbs, 6 ounces, to proud parents Kris and Casey Gudel of Gudel Cattle Company. Gentry Lynne is sure to be immersed in all things agriculture, as her parents are both leaders in the industry with Western Milling and California Farm Bureau.

Congratulations to the entire Gudel family and look for Gentry at upcoming California events!

Quiz answers are on page 60.

Showring trends in different regions dictate that only traditionally marked or solid white goats are acceptable; for some reason dark solids and paints are dumped. I prefer to be color blind and choose the animal that combines the best structure, rib shape, muscle and condition. All goats are the same color once you take the hide off, and this is a meat animal. The focus should be on the carcass, not the color of the hair.

To the other extreme, some people breed exclusively for color. The “hot” color right now is spotted goats. Anytime you select for a single characteristic, you give up all the other good things you may have developed in your breeding program.

If you have a question you would like to ask, do not hesitate to send me an email: wrr@jps.net. Or checkout my website: www. whiterailranch.com.

DIAMOND JUBILEE 19372012

Celebrating 75 Years of Outstanding Hog Genetics!

There have been many type changes over the past 75 years in the swine industry. However, hogs that are healthy, that grow, are sound, that perform and compete — these have never gone out of style. This is the kind we've strived to produce since 1937 and through today.

Dad always tells everyone that he got started by a breeder who treated him fair when he started with an FFA breeding project, and continues to pass that fairness along.

A heartfelt thank you to all our customers over the years and a welcome, in advance, to our new customers.

More Winning Results from 2011!

Pfizer Animal Health partners with customers to contribute to FFA and AABP, AAEP foundations in 2012

We have Lambs like this one available for sale

Purchases of select Pfizer Animal Health cattle and equine products made between Feb. 1 and April 30 support students

Pfizer Animal Health announces the return of the FFA and American Association of Bovine Practitioners (AABP) Foundation Support Program and the addition of the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) Foundation Support Program. Since its inception in 2008, Pfizer Animal Health and its customers have contributed more than $3.6 million to local FFA chapters and veterinary student scholarship funds.

661-724-2441 Home 805-358-3716 Cell

A portion of purchases from qualified Pfizer Animal Health cattle and equine products made between Feb. 1 and April 30, 2012, will be donated on behalf of local veterinarians and animal health suppliers to the local FFA chapter(s) of their choice, the AABP Foundation – Pfizer Animal Health Veterinary Student Scholarship Fund or the AAEP Foundation.

SIEBERT

“Connecting FFA members with their local veterinarians is incredibly valuable in educating them about the animal health industry,” says Lori Randle, regional director, National FFA Foundation. “This program also provides local FFA chapters with funds for traveling to educational and leadership seminars. This has been an excellent program, and we look forward to continuing it.”

In previous years, more than 1,100 veterinarians, animal health suppliers and dealers across the country have participated in the FFA/AABP Foundation Support Program, which is part of Pfizer Animal Health’s Commitment to Veterinarians™, an initiative supporting veterinarians through training and education, research and development, and investment in the future of the veterinary profession.

Email: nansiebert@yahoo.com

“The AABP Foundation – Pfizer Animal Health Veterinary Student Scholarships will help ease some of the financial burdens recent graduates take with them into practice,” says M. Gatz Riddell Jr., DVM, executive vice president of AABP. “By targeting students with a proven interest in food animal practice, these scholarships allow more students to enter the field of their choice than ever before. These scholarships should also help address the need for more veterinarians in rural veterinary practice.”

John Mitchell, DVM, AAEP president says the addition of support for the AAEP Foundation will help deliver on the foundation’s core mission of improving opportunities for careers in equine medicine.

“Many new veterinarians face serious financial burdens from years of education,” Dr. Mitchell says. “In fact, this debt may unduly influence where they choose to practice and in what field. Providing scholarships to veterinary students helps ensure continued interest in equine veterinary practice.”

Support for the FFA as well as the AABP and AAEP Foundations helps promote the future of agriculture, states Julian Garcia, group director, U.S. Cattle and Equine Marketing, Pfizer Animal Health.

“Our support to all three organizations helps honor the assistance and encouragement many of our team members at Pfizer Animal Health received when they were students,” Garcia says. “Many of us at Pfizer Animal Health have been directly involved with these organizations, and now it’s our chance to work with our veterinary clinic, dealer and distributor partners to give back. In turn, we are supporting the next generation of our industry.”

For more information, or to enroll in the FFA/AABP/AAEP support program, call 866-611-2626, contact your local Pfizer Animal Health representative or visit www.pfizerperformancepays.com.

Email from Lamby BoPeep to Mama BoPeep: are included in the feeds that they purchase. Sel-Plex supports my intake of selenium which helps make sure that my defense system keeps working at its best to keep me healthy and happy.

Bio-Mos makes sure that I get plenty of good bacteria and helps me to stay strong and avoid the doctor. I remember you telling me the same thing when I was younger, now I know where you got it.

Mama, the big day finally has come and gone. Farmer Brown took us to a show where we were all hoping to get adopted. We were loaded up in the trailer and made to look our best. I looked just like you in the picture hanging in Farmer Brown’s house; you know the one with the big purple ribbon.

You were right when you said I would feel “bare” after being washed and clipped. I took your advice about staying calm, I couldn’t help but notice some of the others felt embarrassed because of their lack of wool. I held my head high knowing that it was only so that our new human friends could decide who they wanted to take home. My group from Farmer Brown’s farm kept getting compliments, talk about a confidence boost. Some people were asking to feel our loins and the muscle mass on our legs. It was really hard as some of the humans had really cold hands. All day Farmer Brown kept being told how well each of us developed and how big and muscular everyone was. I’ve never seen Farmer Brown so excited.

I overheard Farmer Brown and Farmer Jones talking about the use of Alltech® products in all of Farmer Brown’s feeds, they were discussing the difference it makes in performance and animal health. Farmer Brown also told Farmer Jones he was happy with Sel-Plex this year as the organic selenium supported the conception rates and colostrum quality of his breeders. It really made a big difference.

P.S. All day I had my eye on this cute little girl with a green jacket. She kept saying nice things about me to her daddy and all I wanted them to do was take me home. Well my dreams came true and by the end of the day that little girl with the green jacket took me home. She is so kind Mama, she scratches me behind the ears, kisses my nose and calls me “Lamby Pie”.

I think I’m in love!

It was so nice to hear Farmer Brown explaining to the young humans how important it is for their animals to have good clean water, plenty of exercise, and shelter from the heat and cold. Farmer Brown was kind enough to answer questions from the young humans and explain why they need to read the labels of the feeds they buy. He told them it’s important to ensure that Bio-Mos® and Sel-Plex® february/march 2012
