MAKING HISTORY THE FIRST WOMAN TO SERVE AS OKLAHOMA SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE HAS STRONG TIE S TO THE LIVESTOCK SHOW INDUSTRY. BY: BLAYNE ARTHUR, OK

Oklahoma Governor-elect Kevin Stitt recently announced his nomination of Blayne Arthur as the next Oklahoma Secretary of Agriculture, a position that will require State Senate confirmation.

“Blayne Arthur is a deeply respected leader in Oklahoma agriculture, known for her excellence in public service, her entrepreneurial spirit, and her passion mentoring youth,” said Stitt. “As Secretary of Agriculture, Blayne will play a critical role in Oklahoma’s Turnaround by providing sound policy counsel to advance rural Oklahoma and in listening to and building consensus among our state’s diverse community of farmers and ranchers. I look forward to working with Blayne as our administration seeks to expand commerce and make hard decisions to set Oklahoma’s next generation up for tremendous success.”

Blayne Arthur currently serves as the Executive Director of the Oklahoma 4-H Foundation. Prior to her time at the foundation, Arthur worked for the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry for 8 years and served as Deputy Commissioner from 2012 to 2016.

Upon confirmation, Arthur will become the first woman in Oklahoma to serve as Secretary of Agriculture. •

THE SHOWTIMES WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE BLAYNE ON HER HISTORIC NOMINATION. IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE WITNESSING HER AS SHE RAISES HER FAMILY IN THE LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY. WE WISH HER THE BEST OF LUCK AND KNOW SHE WILL MAKE A TRUE IMPACT ON OKLAHOMA AGRICULTURE.

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

Blayne and her husband Jerrod own and operate Lucky Strike Show Cattle in Stillwater, OK and have two young children, Kelton and Kennedy. Blayne and Jerrod have helped many exhibitors find tremendous success in the show ring at all levels. Their son, Kelton, has also been very successful with his Charolais heifers at both the state and national level and was recently selected Supreme Champion Female at the 2018 American Royal in Kansas City, MO.

I like to be outside and I love the challenge and working with the cattle and my customers to get the BEST possible with their sale photos. I get to work with some amazing people and operations!

THIS

Hard to beat the National Western for me so I will go with winter as my top.

However, I do love the junior national shows in the summer and also working with everyone when we picture the Maine/Chi Junior Nationals.

Either! I just like to be able to get out and help with the cattle when I’m not out picturing and/or videoing cattle.

Although I do love BOTH quite well, a good steak is hard to beat, medium rare ribeye is my go-to.

I’m blessed to live on one of the most beautiful ranches in the country! And I love the time I get to spend helping with everything that goes on, to put the camera away and shift gears to ranching is a favorite of mine, so definitely ranching!

I love to get up early (5-6 a.m.) and get things accomplished

Both. However, I use texting more so than calling but in my job phone calls / communication are a must!

Seeing the potential and longevity in a highquality female that will make a great momma cow.

RECIPE

SUGAR COOKIES

# LAURIE'S HOMEMADE

MY GO-TO COOKIE RECIPE! GREAT FOR HOLIDAYS, SPECIAL OCCASIONS OR JUST BECAUSE. BY: LAURIE REID, SHOWTIMES

DIRECTIONS

INGREDIENTS

1 Cup Margarine (butter can be used but dough will be more stiff) 2/3 Cup Sugar 1 Egg 2 1/2 Cups Flour 1/2 Teaspoon Salt

Cream the butter and sugar (I mix by hand, it turns out differently in a mixer). Then beat in the egg and vanilla.

Add flour and salt and mix until completely combined.

Form dough into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill dough for 3 hours or overnight in the fridge.

Preheat oven to 350F

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS!

44

On a flour-covered surface, roll out dough to desired thickness (I make mine about 1/4 inch thick). Cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Bake cookies on a silk pad for about 8 minutes (the bottoms should be light gold).

Decorate cooled cookies with frosting and sprinkles of your choice!

ENJOY!!! •

Good grief folks, I need to take a little time to stop, refuel, reload, recharge and whatever else it takes to get ready to hit the road running for the Stock Show Tour! I don’t know about you, but the wheels never stop turning on my rig. As you well know, that’s what it takes to at least try to keep up with this crazy stock show world that we all love so much! I’m going to change it up a little bit this trip and give you a couple of places that might come in handy if you’re traveling up I-25 from the South headed to Denver.

I’m going to start with The Pantry in Pueblo, CO. After being in business for over 40 years, this little place is well known for its local comfort food, chicken fried steak, roast pork dinner, blackened whitefish and stuffed bell peppers. Then you throw in the fresh Summer salad with salmon, mangos, cranberries and almonds. Now that’s something you don’t expect to find just anywhere, but boy howdy is that not a pleasant change in the everyday selections! Then you dive into the breakfast choices on the menu and once again life is good.

You just need to give this place a chance to satisfy your hunger pangs!

Heading on up the road my next stop is in Colorado Springs; and that brings me to Sandy’s Restaurant. I really don’t know where to start with this place, so maybe I should warn they are only open from 5:30AM to 2:30PM. I guess I’ll start with the breakfast. The portions here are absolutely huge (be careful - the ultimate omelet is 6 eggs). The sausage gravy is nothing short of awesome! Moving on to the lunch selections, you can try to decide between the chili burger, chicken fried steak with real mashed potatoes or the club sandwich that’s made with their own homemade bread. It may be too late to warn you, but you might try to save room for one of their famous homemade cinnamon rolls (talk about a sugar shock)! This dude is guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth. I may have been saving the best for last, the prices at this place are very, very accommodating!

The end of the road for this little venture brings us to Denver. Time to settle in for several days of stock shows and trying to figure out where to dine that I haven’t before. For me, that’s mission impossible. Being a diehard creature of habit, I guess I’ll share a couple of old standbys that I’ve already shared of where I like to eat breakfast before I settle in for the day at the show. I’m going to start with Butcher Block Café. I like to stop in at the one on Washington just before I get to the show. Now this place is not fancy at all, but I’d put the food up against the best of them. The full round house breakfast is too large for even me to try to tackle. The half roundhouse is more than enough to give me that, “oh my I’ve over indulged feeling!” The list goes on and on at this place. The hamburgers, french fries and chicken fried steak are enough to tempt me to leave the show for some good eating. This is another place that’s stood the test of time having been around for about 40 years.

I think they’ve got it figured out. Once again, the prices are very reasonable.

The next place in Denver that I’d like to share is another little hole in the wall spot where I like to grab a quick breakfast before I make it into the stock show. That would be Pete’s Café. This place is located up on North Washington. It is the epitome of the hole in the wall diner serving American, Greek and of course Mexican! But the breakfast here is my choice. I have had the opportunity to sample the burgers here and was not at all disappointed with the quality.

The menu here is a chalkboard on the wall so it can be changed at any time. Once again, the food service, portions and prices here are very accommodating to a hungry stock show crew. It is quite a way to this one from the stock show, but the food is well worth the drive.

I think I’ve shared enough for this time, but once again let’s try to remember why we do what we do and not lose focus. Don’t forget to use the Showtimes App for other dinning places.

‘Til next time, safe travels and hope to see you down the road. •

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

P.D. MILLER WRITES HIS OWN HISTORY, WITH A LITTLE BIT OF LUCK.

P.D. MILLER KNOWS HOW TO WIN. Miller, an animal science senior at Oklahoma State University, won 2018 Overall High Individual Livestock Evaluator at The National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colo.,The Fort Worth Stock Show And Rodeo, The Houston Livestock Show And Rodeo, The National Meat Animal Evaluation Contest in Lubbock, Texas, and the The North American Livestock Exposition in Louisville, Ky. Miller is the most decorated individual in the history of competitive livestock evaluation. His 5-show run led the most successful livestock judging season in OSU history, and the second-most winning team of all-time.

“It takes talent like his, drive like his,” said one coach, “and a little bit of luck.”

“From a young age, P.D. was making decisions about which calves he wanted to show,” said judging coach Taylor Frank, “and I think that teaches people a lot about livestock and how they change, important things to look for and what problems are severe. How he was raised, and what he was raised doing, molded him into who he was.”

Miller and his siblings raised and showed sheep, goats, swine and cattle throughout their 4H and FFA careers. M Lazy Heart was the foundation for success in the ring, but it was their parents that influenced their competitive style.

“Our parents were amazing examples for us,” said Miller’s sister, Paige. “They wanted us to be competitive, but they wanted us to be good people. P.D. is both.”

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

“It’s a feat,” he said. “Livestock came naturally to me just because I grew up around it. But it’s also combination of having coaches that believed in me and were extremely talented, and my family, my community, and a support system that embraced what I was trying to do and pushed me forward.”

FAMILY FOUNDATION Miller grew up in Torrington, Wyo., helping with the family businesses: a commercial feedlot, and M Lazy Heart Ranch, a club calf operation with 300 head of Maine-Anjou and crossbred cattle. He began competitive judging and showing through 4-H and FFA, and M Lazy Heart often hosted collegiate teams on the ranch to practice livestock evaluation.

93

Miller knew he wanted a future in livestock evaluation at 9-years-old. After winning 21 consecutive cattle shows through 4H, he was buried in a class at the Colorado State Fair. That’s when Miller declared his determination to become the best.

“I walked out of the ring and told my parents ‘I want to be the person whose opinions matter in the show ring. Then I want to judge every major steer, heifer and hog show in the country.’ They said, ‘you can do it.’”

HALL OF FAME | P.D. MILLER

“I knew if I wanted to achieve that goal, I had to put my nose to the grindstone,” Miller said. “I had to be on competitive judging teams.”

DRIVE He got his chance. He won the National FFA livestock judging contest in 2013 and was an All-American at the National 4-H Contest in 2012. His high school successes and a perfect GPA put him in the national spotlight as a top recruit, and not just in the eyes of agriculture. Miller passed on a football scholarship to University of Wyoming and committed to Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kansas to judge under head coach Arnold and assistant coach Taylor Frank.

Miller would win a national championship at Butler before going to OSU to judge under head coach Dr. Blake Bloomberg, four-time National Collegiate Coaches’ Association Coach of the Year, and assistant coach Kyndal Reitzenstein.

All coaches remember Miller’s outstanding resume secondary to his extraordinary drive.

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

“That kid wants it more than anybody else out there,” said Frank.

94

Ask the OSU judging team why Miller is a champion, and you’ll hear an impressive set of reasons. Some say it’s his eye — a unique ability to see livestock, with a perfect balance of objectivity and opinion. Others say it’s his natural talent, his intelligence. But no matter who you ask, one word always places at the top of the class: drive.

“He’s a naturally talented stock person. He had the willingness to be the best, a unique talent, with a lot of drive to succeed,” said Dr. Bloomberg. “You could tell that he had the will to win.”

“He had drive, he had a competitive edge,” remembers Reitzenstein. “He had it all.”

SKILL Even with a lifetime of livestock knowledge, Miller had to adjust his delivery if he wanted to make history.

“Coming out of high school, I didn’t have the finesse of a lot of other kids,” remembered Miller. “I had to work at it, and get help. Taylor Frank helped me get my reasons polished. Marcus Arnold made me grounded. Kyndal helped me with flow and presentation, getting my words out but reigning back what I said. Blake Bloomberg was an incredible motivator and an awfully impressive stockman.”

Competitive livestock judging only allows two years of eligibility, split between junior and senior college.

Between those years, the level of competition accelerates.

Presentation becomes more influential in scoring at the senior collegiate level, and the ability to concisely and eloquently defend decisions in the ring separates the competitive from the elite. Brevity, voice quality, and confidence play a larger role. Miller had the latter in spades.

“He doesn’t lack confidence, that’s for sure,” said Arnold.

That confidence was tested on the road to a national championship. Livestock judging is 90 percent mental focus, 5 percent skill and ability, and 5 percent luck, according to Dr. Bloomberg. And luck wasn’t always on Miller’s side.

LUCK “I knew I could be the best, and it made me work harder.

Once you get the feeling of winning, you never want to let it go,” Miller said. “I compare livestock judging to addictive gambling.”

“Honestly, I thought it was the best thing to happen to him,” said Dr. Bloomberg. “When things are going so smoothly, sometimes a little ripple doesn’t hurt. The loss allowed P.D. to refresh, hit the reset button, and remind

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

After a standout, back-to-back senior college debut in Denver and Fort Worth, Miller lost at the 2018 Dixie National in Jackson, Miss. Miller placed 6th high individual, but his scores helped his team win the overall competition.

himself that he’s human.”

Miller agreed, crediting the loss as a defining moment.

He said the setback helped him learn how to overcome external chatter and internal pressure. Building that resilience set the stage for winning where it mattered most: Louisville.

“Winning consistently takes a lot of inner thought, and belief in yourself,” Miller said. There’s going to be people who doubt you, who say you can’t do it again. And you have to overcome those fears within yourself.”

“I worked, and wrestled with myself. And I came back to win.”

Miller’s coaches say his outstanding motivation, and laser focus, sets him apart from competitors.

“Some kids can get discouraged, and losing wears on their mental toughness,” said Arnold. “But P.D. had a competitive mental focus that you don’t see in a lot of students.”

Frank agreed. “You can put as much pressure on him as you want, and he’ll continue to perform.”

HEART Ask about Miller beyond the ring and you get mixed reactions — snorts, giggles, a grumble or two. But you certainly get a response. His star-quality talent, and courage to face failure, earned Miller a leadership role on livestock teams and the loyalty of friends-turned-family.

“P.D. has a bold personality and a bold spirit,” said Arnold.

“He has weaknesses. But he stays open, and willing. And his ability to be open, to be humble, and to work together with his teammates — that’s what makes him a champion.”

“Everyone would love to have P.D. on their team,” Frank said. “He has a big heart, and he loves people. He would do anything for anybody. He cares about everybody. If you called him right now because your tire is flat, he wouldn’t ask questions. If you wanted to talk cattle, he’d tell you everything he knows.”

THE NEXT CHAPTER Miller will graduate from OSU in May 2019. His next chapter is undecided, but like most things to do with Miller, there are plenty of opinions.

“Coaching,” Frank said.

“I think he’ll go back to the family farm,” said Reitzenstein.

Ask Miller and he admits he isn’t sure. He’s still celebrating senior year, and reflecting on an incredible run. He tosses out a couple ideas — pursuing a master’s degree in ruminant nutrition and assistant coaching, or going home to the family business. He likes the idea of coaching and helping kids. He’s a little tired of school, he laughs.

Bloomberg has his own take.

“I don’t know what the future holds for P.D., but I know he’ll have a lot of options to do what he wants. Somebody with his ability and his talents can write their own chapter. If he decides to go back to the family farm, he’ll be successful. If he decides to coach, he’ll have success.

He’s the kind of kid, like so many that come through our program, who can write their own history.” •

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

Miller’s coaches and teammates remember Miller’s wit, heart, and generosity as two-fold and unconditional.

“And he’s a lot of fun to have in the van,” he laughed.

HALL OF FAME 100

BY: THE ALLAN FAMILY

NEW MEMBER JANUARY 2019

Bar A Cattle Co., Schulenburg, Texas, started when Dave and Becky Allan got married, but the Bar A brand came from Mary and Dale Barber when Dave worked for Barber Ranch. Dave’s love for this industry started at an early age as he grew up in Nebraska showing Herefords and being very active in the Nebraska Junior Hereford Association having served as president in 1988.

After college Dave moved to Dunlap Iowa to work for John Sullivan and manage Sullivan Limousin with his brother Mark. During this time he met his wife, Becky. Becky

In 1999 they decided to move back to Texas where Dave did consulting and then eventually managed a stocker operation for several years in Schulenburg. In 2001 Dave and Becky started raising show steers and heifers. There were many successes in the club calf business, including raising the champion and reserve overall in Houston and the champion steer at OYE in Oklahoma City.

From an early age, Dave loved evaluating and breeding cattle, his vast experiences in different breeds and facets of industry led him to a real interest in judging cattle. He is fortunate to have judged all across the country from the green chips in Louisville, many shows at the National Western and most recently the Hoosier Beef Congress in Indiana. Some of his most memorable judging experiences have included judging with the late Bill Couch, and judging the Hereford and Angus Shows in Denver with his brother, Mark.

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

Dave and his brother, Mark, started showing Herefords in in 1977. His first job after graduating from high school was working for Kevin Jensen, of Jensen Fitting Service, hauling 30-40 head to all the national shows around the country. In the early 90’s, he also worked for Adams Bros and Co. where he had two champion Hereford bulls, one champion female and two champion carloads in Denver at the National Western, in three years. During that time he judged on the livestock team for Texas A&M University and then went on to graduate school at Michigan State University where he was the assistant livestock judging coach.

had just graduated from Texas A&M in Ag Development and she was working in Austin for Abbott Labs. Becky grew up as a military brat and lived in England, Australia, California, Virginia, Texas and Italy. The cattle business was a whole new world to her.

HALL OF FAME | ALLAN FAMILY

Becky’s passion has always been marketing and helping others create brand awareness and that led her to starting The Brand Company in 2001 doing promotional products for businesses and associations. She has been working with breed associations such as the American Hereford Association and the American Maine-Anjou Association well as many other agriculture businesses, farms and ranches with a focus on apparel and promotional products.

Dave and Becky have three boys, Tyler, Mason and Landry.

Once the boys were old enough to show, they decided that the Hereford breed and the National Jr Hereford Association was where they wanted to be involved. The National Junior Hereford program is second to none and they feel very lucky that their kids are able to be involved in events such as the Faces of Leadership Conference and the Junior National Hereford Expo.

Tyler has had many successes, including winning all four age division in showmanship at the Junior National Hereford Expo. One of the proudest moments for the Allan family came this past year when both Tyler and Mason won senior and intermediate showmanship. This year’s junior national was one to remember having two division champions, two reserve division champions and overall reserve champion heifer.

The Allan boys are very active and have seen much success in and out of the showring. Tyler is now a freshman at Texas Tech majoring in animal science, Mason is a freshman in high school, plays basketball and baseball and really enjoys livestock judging, Landry, well he does a little bit of everything and keeps everyone laughing. Landry will start showing next year.

The Allan’s said they feel blessed with all the success they have had, be it with customers cattle or Tyler and Mason’s projects, but the biggest blessing is all the time they have gotten to spend with the other families who have become their best friends. •

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

As a result of all the Hereford involvement, in 2012 Bar A decided to sell the club calf part of the business in an effort to expand the Hereford operation. Around this same time, the idea for GeneSource was born and Dave and Becky started down the path of marketing semen, which has been a great edition to the marketing mix at Bar A. GeneSource is a multi-breed semen distribution company. Dave enjoys talking with cattlemen around the country, whether it be the bull owners or the semen customers about their operations and what’s working for them.

Hirchell and Kelli are both focused on their respective businesses and excited about the future and rapid growth of their brands.

LeClair Cattle Company, owned by Hirchell LeClair is located in Lander, Wyoming where he specializes in raising females and composite show cattle. In addition, he runs a large commercial herd and serves as an influencer for the Show-Rite team.

Some of his proudest champions throughout his years have led him to the backdrop at the National Western, Ft. Worth, Kansas City, Houston, and several Junior Nationals.

(one) I would never go to a show without... my clipper bag. (two) My biggest pet peeve is... when cattle aren't dried correctly. (three) The greatest aspect of being a part of the livestock industry is...

The people!!! (four) I founded my business because...

I love show cattle. From production to presentation. There is nothing better than getting up and getting to live your dream every day and being fortunate enough to make a living at it. When you get to work with families that share your passion that's just the cherry on top!! (five) My fondest memory is...

I have a few: Riding the range with my Pops.

When my Granny gave me my first cow as payment for irrigating all summer.

When I saw Kelli coming down the aisle .

124

(six) My greatest accomplishment is...

Helping produce young men and women that will go on and continue to be at the forefront of the livestock industry. (seven) The best animal I have ever worked on / been a part of is...

I have been very fortunate to work with some great animals over the years.

However, the one that means the most to me is "Peaches" Kyndal Reitzenstein's show heifer of the 2012-2013 show season. She was the first one I raised that got a piece of a big one. (eight) There should be a livestock show in...

Vegas. (nine) One thing most people do not know about me is...

I have a thing for vintage high-end leather luggage. (ten) A dream of mine is to...

Someday have our own production sales.

Two a year, one in the north, and one in the south

Heritage Style was founded in August 2016; with a vision of empowering women by making them feel beautiful through genuine Native American jewelry. The logo is depiction of the motto “Where Native American Heritage Meets Texan Style”. A rose from Hirchell’s tribe, and cotton boll from Kelli’s roots. Heritage Style can be found online and at livestock and trade shows.

(one) I would never go to a show without...

Lint roller for all that wonderful dog hair, dry shampoo, my computer and a solid 20lbs of jewelry. (two) My biggest pet peeve is...

Tardiness!! Respect an appointment, be on time. (three) The greatest aspect of being a part of the livestock industry is...

100% the people. As cliché as it sounds, my absolute favorite thing about my business is that it’s naturally grown around women who enjoy being in the barn. I’ve made so many true friends through my business because of this natural evolution. Second best thing is the work ethic of those in the livestock industry. It’s all too rare in my opinion. (four) I founded my business because...

I was always envious of how passionate Hirchell is about cattle, thinking “I wish I could find something I was half as passionate about as Hirchell is about cattle”. I looked down (at a cattle show) and realized I was shopping for Turquoise online at that moment.

BEYOND THE BACKDROP

y name is Kelton Arthur and I am 10 years old. I live in Stillwater, OK with my Dad, Mom and little sister Kennedy and attend school at Ripley elementary where I am in the 5th grade.

Some of my favorite activities are showing cattle and playing sports. I am VicePresident of our Ripley 4-H Club and also play the saxophone in the band. I play basketball and baseball and also run track where I compete in the 400 m, the mile, hurdles and the 400 m relay. My school is very small but we have great athletics and teachers and a really strong 4-H and FFA program.

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

I really enjoy showing cattle, my Dad owns and operates Lucky Strike Show Cattle, so I have been raised around show cattle and the show barn my whole life. I show Charolais heifers and several breeds of steers. My favorite thing about showing heifers is that you can show them at multiple shows and then get to keep them as cows and hopefully raise calves that you can show. Charolais heifers are usually really easy to get along with which is great for me but they are also really hard to keep white. Taking care of my heifers takes a lot of help from my Dad and everyone else that helps us. Tyler Atwood helps us full

136

time and he makes sure to help me with everything from daily care to showmanship and what I should feed my heifers. We also have lots of other people that have helped at shows and the barn since I have been showing and lots of my family members come to watch me at the shows.

I have been very lucky to have the chance to show and have some success at several state and national shows. I show at our big shows in Oklahoma including the Oklahoma Youth Expo and the Tulsa State Fair. I have had the chance to show at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Charolais Junior Nationals, the North American International Livestock Expo in Louisville, KY and the American Royal in Kansas City. My favorite big show that we go to is the American Royal in Kansas City, MO. It is the closest to where we live and I have been really lucky to do well there with my Charolais Heifers. It was a really big and exciting surprise for my family to win Supreme Female with my heifer, Fiona, this year.

I hope to continue to get to show Charolais Heifers and maybe show steers at some of the national shows when I get older. I feel very lucky to have the chance to show as much as I do and have the help from so

many people. I have made friends from all across the United States and am always excited to see them and hang out during down time at the shows. Showing cattle and doing sports and going to school makes for busy days so I want to thank everyone who has been a big part in my showing thus far. My Dad for picking out and clipping my cattle, my Mom for making sure I have starched clothes to wear, my sister for tagging along even if she thinks it’s boring sometimes and all the help and friends and breeders of the cattle. This is a long list of folks starting with the crew who helps us at the shows and home: Tyler Atwood, Lance Pfeiff, my Papa- Jerry Arthur, Tony and Brandy Jeffs, Chance Wimmer, Kagney Collins, Garrett Stipe, Chase Ratliff, Carter Ward, Evan Summers and Colton Deckard.

Also, a special thanks to these breeders for their genetics and cow power behind all the Charolais females I have had the opportunity to show: Jeff Jackson, EllisRash family, Jared Boyert and Jirl Buck, the Johnson family and many more.

I feel very fortunate to get to show and have all the support that I do. I look forward to lots more years of fun and friends and show calves. •

y name is Dylan Manning, I just turned 12 years old! I am from Waukee, Iowa. My parents are Robb and Tiffany Manning. I have two brothers Owen (5) and Barrett (3) and a special sister angel in heaven Madilynn Grace.

This was my first experience at the North American International Livestock Expo and really this is my FIRST full year showing 4-H. I started showing Donald (hair like President Donald Trump!); a Charolais calf, I took him to many jackpots and finished up at the American Royal making the sale. I won my county fair this year with “Buck” and was able to make it into the final drive at the Iowa State Fair with him. I continued to work really hard with “Wooly” (he had a crazy amount of hair) and focused on the

150

NAILE; I never in a million years thought I would win this show, but I knew this calf was special! Wooly had many struggles throughout the year with a hurt foot, so I had to learn lots of patiencs with him and not to push him very hard. Show day just seemed like a special day, and I felt like a had an extra jump in my step that day. I had a really tough class of competitive calves. I was more nervous than ever, but I walked out of the show ring with a win, and it confirmed to me I did have a special calf. The final drive was an awesome experience for me, and when Mr. Duello put his hand out for me, to shake I was overcome with joy and excitement! I know I am just getting started in my showing career and this is a HUGE accomplishment at such a young age, but I love it and love what it teaches me, I can't wait for the next show! #ILoveWhatIDo •

DUELLO TALKING CLASS 5 : VICKLAND

hat an outstanding set of steers here in the West Arena in Class 5, the middle 1,300s. Like the last class, there’s seven or eight, nine, just awfully good cattle through here.

I think there’s four, or five rather, exceptionally good steers. I am going to take a minute and talk about them. I think there’s a lot of quality, and I think theres parts of anyone of these five steers, parts and pieces, that if you change your priorities or your emphasis, you can get him up one, two or three holes. There ain’t no doubt about it. When you get to this level and this league, it’s going to be that way, and that’s what makes it fun. That’s the part I enjoy about it after all these years. Being able to look at the really good ones. I am going to make up my mind and describe them to you the best that I can. As strong as the top five are, and as high quality as they are, there is one of them that puts the whole thing together and he’s the most

complete one in here. He happens to be the thickest ended, biggest topped, biggest barreled, boldest sprung, widest based, loosest made, soundest structured, best balanced one, all in one. He could be tidied up just a little through the center of his shoulder, but when you got one packin’ this much hind quarter folks, he’s plenty good. This thing is good lookin’, sound, he’s practical and as strong of class as it is, I think he wins. •

TALKING CLASS 6 : MANNING

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

hat an awsome class of middle 1,300 ound steers. No doubt in my mind that there’s probably seven or eight of these exhibitors and their families that came to Louisville fixin’ to win a steer show. I think that’s very just and very reasonable. They’re all that good.

There’s a lot of difference in them. I am going to do the best I can to describe the cattle to you and my rationale for placing them the way that I did. I am honored to have the opportunity to be the one to make the call today. It’s tough.

This is one of the top three or four steers I’ve scene in a long time. They’re all so good, but they’re all so different, so here we go. This one up front hits me hard coming in the ring. He’s not the slimest necked one in the world, but this thing is long necked and upfronted. He’s big legged, big boned, big footed, stout made, loose constructed, deep bodied, wide sprung, big topped, good handling, cool lookin’, flexible

154

as they come and when he cooperates, he’s a handful. Now that thing is built right, and stout, and soft and handles good. I think he certanly is the most complete one in this class, although it doesn’t come easy. •

He’s big legged, big boned, big footed, stout made, loose constructed, deep bodied, wide sprung, big topped, good handling, cool lookin’, flexible as they come and when he cooperates, he’s a handful.

The history of where we came from and what this show came from, and where we’ve been, and where we’re going is important.

JUDGE DAVE DUELLO SHARES HIS THOUGHTS ABOUT THE CHAMPION LINE-UP! TALKING THE GRAND DRIVE

very humbling experience to stand and hold the microphone, and to operate in the ring where so many great cattle, and so many great breeders, and so many great evaluators and so many people that have made such an impact on young people in the beef industry. I am really humbled to have the opportunity to do that.

The history of where we came from and what this show came from, and where we’ve been, and where we’re going is important. I think that probably a lot of this generation doesn’t have much interest in that kind of thing. It really is important and it’s flabergasting if you truly go up there and look at some of the legends, and some of the great things that they’ve done. What a tremendous group of people. What a unique thing to the North American and the old Chicago Stockyards. A piece of history I hope you’ll take part in, particularly you young people. It’s really overwhelming.

It goes without saying, there’s a lot of things that can be

Ladies and gentlemen, if you’ll one more time thank these kids and the North American for providing an environment from which you can compete, I will get you a champion steer. •

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

You young ones, you’ve got the world by the tail if you keep this up, because there’s a lot of your generation that doesn’t give much a damn about working hard, and staying hooked, and staying committed, and my hat’s off to you for that. Let’s give these kids a big, big round of applause.

done right here, and there’s a lot of things that could’ve been done all day long. There’s plus or minus 100 steers.

There’s a bunch of them that came here thinking, and knowing that they have a shot of winning. That’s the darn truth. Whether you’re standing in front of me now, or whether you’re back in the barn in the fifth or sixth hole, those classes were that deep. They were that challenging and it’s very rewarding to me. Again, I think they’re fat steers, I think they’re practical. They came in some different shapes and sizes. I like four or five of them real good. It’s really been an honor and a pleasure. I am not going todescribe the cattle again. I talked them the best I could, and I know a lot of people were busy working on other cattle etc., so maybe you didn’t hear it. I want a sound, stout, good looking, practical one, that’s got some shape and some quality, and some go about him. Cattle with some punch. We have cattle in an industry acceptance standpoint from here to there that are in the ball game, and from a weight stand point. We got cattle from here to there to be in the top two from a quality stand point. It comes down to the fine points, and a few little things. You’ve got to pick and choose priorities, and I’ve described them to you the best I can.

My name is Ashtin Guyer, and I just recently exhibited the Supreme Grand Champion Heifer at the 2018 North American International Livestock Expo. I live in Robinson, IL with my parents, Dave and Lucy, and younger sister Nalaney. My sister and I have been involved in the livestock industry for about 12 years, and have enjoyed every moment!

My family and I eat, sleep, and breathe this industry. First I would like to thank my parents, sister and all the individuals involved that have made my success in the showring possible. As for my heifer, “Plus”, (which we have named her from the beginning) she has always had a few “plus” extras since she came to our farm.

Her attitude, quality and ring presence to name a few. As I look back on those few days in November, nothing I have ever done, compares to a win like this. The NAILE Supreme Heifer Drive is the Super Bowl of livestock shows, and one item on my bucket list was checked off when I got, “The Slap” on the green shavings. Like I have said many times, it was so surreal, and is just now starting to set in! After I was selected, I kept getting the question, “Were you nervous?” and to answer that, I don’t think it was nerves, but instead being focused on getting the heifer presented to her highest level that I could. With this being said, I can honestly say, that even though I may not remember much from the supreme drive, because of being so focused, that I do remember the noise and the cheering coming from the crowd, and our supporters. That sound will stay with me forever, and as I think back to that night, and rewatch the videos, it makes it

that much more real. In Mr. Worthington’s speech, he stated that every heifer out there was good enough to receive this champion title, and he couldn’t have been more right. When you step out onto those green shavings, you are stepping out onto the biggest stage in the livestock world, and competing with only the best, so to have been the one to receive that slap, I am truly blessed from the Good Lord above, beyond grateful and thankful for what this industry has done for me along side my family, and all the opportunities and friendships that has come with it as well.

I can’t explain the feeling I had that night, but what I do know is that I wouldn’t trade it for anything, and for those of you in this industry who have not been on those green shavings, my advice to you would be to never give up and follow your dreams, because they will come true, as mine did at the 2018 NAILE! I would like to say a special thank you to Main Trailer Sales for sponsoring the Supreme Champion Heifer Trailer along with the Showtimes Magazine for videoing the selection of the Supreme Heifer Champion Drive and for all of your support throughout this industry! •

ary Aubrey was sitting in the lobby of the Crown Plaza Louisville, exhausted, his walker parked next to the chair, a bronze Hereford sculpture perched on the coffee table in front of him. Just two weeks post-fall with a compound fractured femur, he was out of breath and had just laid back to close his eyes when he was surprised to find a strange lady ‘petting’ the bronze.

“Oh, this little statue is just so cute!”

She exclaimed, obviously not the type of hotel guest that had been to NAILE to have seen Aubrey’s Carly 2054 win Grand Champion Hereford Female that day.

Cary managed a weak smile as the lady droned on. “I’d just love to have something like that! How much does it cost?”

Not unlike many cattle showing couples, the Aubrey’s both work in other careers fitting in their love of the cattle industry between busy professional commitments. Cary has been with the State of Indiana as the Bioenergy program manager since 2005 and Sarah Beth is celebrating 15 years as an entrepreneur with her ag consulting and keynote speaking practice, Aubrey Coaching & Training (ACT). Both Aubreys grew up showing Herefords but didn’t know each other during their

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

Cary leaned forward, adjusting his leg, feeling the pain pulse through it, and paused for just a beat to consider all that had gone into the cost of that bronze- the years of work, hope, disappointments, false starts, good breeding decisions (and bad), the money spent, the friendships gained, so many of whom had helped them so much this year get the cattle to NAILE, and what it all meant. Those were the costs, that was certain, but there was no arbitrary number that could be put on the value of breeding a champion female at a national show, at least not a figure that someone who didn’t show could ever understand.

“Ma’am, you have no idea,” he said.

Cary and Sarah Beth Aubrey live near Monrovia, Indiana, where they raise Herefords together. Married since 2001, the couple was recently honored to win Champion Female at the North American with Aubrey’s Carly 4054 12 E.

Sarah Beth is also the author of six books, including two cattle showingthemed novels, Championship Drive and the sequel, Heart of a Champion.

The rest, as they say, is history, and the two have been together ever since with a focus to be the very best, most competitive boutique-sized purebred program in the county. The Aubreys don’t have plans to be a large outfit; rather, they aim to include a few strategic partners that share their drive to breed the

GOLDEN FLO IS THE SECRET INGREDIENT THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE EDGE!

LIQUID ENERGY

ave you ever walked around the show barns purposely looking for anything that will tell you what the champions are being fed? More times than not, all you’ll end up seeing is some plain brown feed bags and maybe a jug or 2 of something with no label identifying it. So, what’s in the feed? It’s the most common question asked by those who are standing around the stalls of the recently named champion. To share or not to share? Hmmm… that is the question.

It is understood that

along with good genetics a good feed ration is the foundation of an animal’s ability to express its genetics to its greatest potential. A lot of time, hard work and effort goes into raising livestock and competing. So, cutting corners on the feed ration that’s fueling them just doesn’t make sense. Whether you are trying to achieve success in the showring or simply improve feed efficiency at home, you understand that a quality fat supplement is one of the most important components in the diet.

It’s a key ingredient when it comes to reaching that desired level of conditioning and bloom required to get your animals to not only look their best, but to enhance overall performance.

Nearly 4 decades ago, the late William (Bill) Whitfield set out to find an alternative to dry fat in livestock feeds. After attaining his Bachelor

of Science degree from the University of Illinois, Bill went on to Purdue University to complete his Master of Science Degree in Animal Nutrition. After working as a nutritionist for other companies for a few years, Bill set out on his own. In 1964 he founded Nutritional Service, a consulting firm which later became Whitfield’s Premix, Inc. based in Gillespie, IL. Initially, as a specialist in swine nutrition, Bill started his business manufacturing swine vitamin/ mineral premix - a new concept to the industry.

The business expanded through the years to include supplements and minerals for all species of livestock. Just as he was a pioneer

of the premix concept, he was also a pioneer in the introduction of a liquid fat/energy supplement to the industry.

While Golden Flo Liquid Energy gained its status as the leading liquid fat/ energy supplement in the show industry, it’s not limited to just that. In fact, it was not originally developed for that

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019 270

specific purpose. The inception of Golden Flo came in 1979 at Whitfield’s swine research facility. Bill knew there was an alternative to dry fat in livestock feeds; something better, which would offer more nutritional value. He began testing liquid fat supplements at the research facility to address issues such as palatability, feed efficiency, and added energy. Additionally, he wanted to find a solution for problems created by aflatoxins from moldy corn, a common problem during that time. He observed feed caked in the bulk feeders and realized the liquid fat source would remedy this problem as well.

After much research and development to address these challenges, Golden Flo was born. But the benefits didn’t stop there.

Eventually Golden Flo’s impact on the show industry became evident as demonstrated by the many champions that have been fed this product through the years.

Golden Flo is a proven, high quality soybean oil-based fat supplement beneficial for ALL animals including cattle, horses, swine, sheep, goats, poultry and other small livestock and companion animals.

Golden Flo boasts a distinctive aroma and unique flavor that draws animals to the

feed bunk better than any product on the market. Often imitated but never duplicated, this proprietary formula is perfectly optimized to improve palatability and appetite, feed consumption and efficiency, weight gain and condition, carcass characteristics, skin and hair coat condition and more. Ultimately, Golden Flo improves the overall health and wellbeing of your animals, which leads to increased performance, production and profitability.

272

Though many supplements have come and gone, Golden Flo Liquid Energy continues to be a staple in the livestock community nationwide. Customers that used the product back in the 80s or 90s now have second and third generations competing in the show ring. They want to continue using a product that they know works.

Livestock has certainly changed in its “type and kind” through the years, but one thing that hasn’t changed is the winning results attained when Golden Flo is included in livestock feed rations.

Today, Whitfield’s carries on the tradition of a family owned and operated company.

There’s a misconception out there among some livestock producers that all fat supplements are the same. It just simply is not true. There are vast differences in quality, nutrients, processing techniques, seed varieties, and the list goes on. Whitfield’s work with specific vendors that have a mutual commitment to quality and consistency.

They don’t cut corners or alter their formula to exploit fluctuations in commodities. It’s this consistency of quality, combined with superior results that turns firsttime buyers into lifelong customers.

Golden Flo’s longevity is a result of its customers’ successes. In this industry, everyone is looking for that “secret ingredient” that will give them the edge. The truth is, given the highly competitive nature of the business, most people don’t want to share their secrets. As a brand that’s been around awhile, they’ve heard a thing or two. Golden Flo will give your animals the competitive edge and help them reach their genetic potential. That’s why it’s one of the most trusted brands in the industry. •

TESTIMONIALS “We have used Golden Flo in all our feed rations for many, many years. We love the many benefits Golden Flo provides through all the stages of the feeding process. From weaning to sale preparation and on to the show ring or replacement pens, we see increased energy during times of stress, maintained feed consumption and a noticeable improvement in the skin and hair coat. These are just a few of the reasons we always feed with Golden Flo!” John Griswold, Griswold Cattle Co.

“Feeding hogs at the highest level of competition requires nothing but the best nutrition. We have used Golden Flo at Toenyes Livestock as far back as I can remember. Showing can be a very stressful time for animals, but we notice a huge difference in the freshness and enthusiasm our hogs maintain when their diets include Golden Flo!” Miles Toenyes, Show-Rite Feeds/Toenyes Livestock

“Raising good stock is only part of the battle. Good nutrition and keeping sheep on feed every day is another large part of being successful. Utilizing Golden Flo in all our lamb feed allows us to know that the feed will stay consistent in flavor, keeping sheep wanting to eat. Golden Flo has been and will be a staple at Knittle Livestock in our quest to raising Southdowns and Dorsets that will compete at the highest level.”

Rodney Knittle, Knittle Livestock

“Golden Flo is my go-to supplement when needing to add finish, hair coat or to stimulate appetite. The sweet-smelling liquid is palatable and tasty, leaving goats craving more. Results are noticed quickly and, unlike other fat supplements, digestive problems have never been an issue. Golden Flo will always be the first thing I reach for when prepping for the show ring.”

BEYOND THE BACKDROP

It’s hard to describe the feeling when all of the hard work pays off, and you accomplish what you had been striving for since such a young age.

’m Skyler Scotten, and I grew up in Nevada, Missouri, where my family and I raise show cattle and goats that we sell to junior showmen all across the country. The best part is getting to know the families and working with them throughout the year. Since the age of 8, my brother Spencer and I have been heavily involved in 4-H and FFA where we traveled throughout the country showing hogs, sheep and goats. My parents, Shannon and Krista always said it was important for us to be active in showing all species of livestock in order to become well rounded evaluators and appreciate the multiple aspects of the industry which would certainly benefit us in the long run. Showing livestock not only teaches you the importance of daily care and work ethic, but, most importantly, it teaches you how to win and lose in a humble and respectful manner. I’m a firm believer I wouldn’t be half the person I am today without the life skills I’ve learned in the show barn.

Showing and evaluating livestock runs in my family. My dad grew up showing and was a member of the livestock judging team at Fort Scott Community College, later transferring Missouri State University where he was also a member of the judging team. He was not only our first trainer on how to evaluate, but the biggest supporter in our life that wanted us to get heavily involved with judging.

As my family began showing more competitively, my brother and I both started livestock judging at the county

SKYLER

level under Marty Miller and Bryan Gast.

This is where we both became fond of the competition and evaluation of livestock. We were hauled to many livestock operations throughout the Midwest where we got to see incredible livestock, and, most importantly, made connections with some of the brightest livestock people in the nation. Many of these connections have turned into lifelong friendships.

In high school, my teammates and I competed in an FFA judging contest nearly every weekend throughout multiple states.

It was awesome in the fact that all four of us came from the same community and were able to become both the State and National Champion team. This granted us the opportunity to attend the Royal Highland Competition in Scotland which was a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity for the team.

Winning Louisville was a goal that I had set for myself when I first started judging in 4-H. You always hear about the history of the North American and the people that had won that contest in the past. Honestly, after my brother won a national contest in college, I wanted to work as hard as I could to win one as well. It’s hard to describe the feeling when all of the hard work pays off, and you accomplish what you had been striving for since such a young age. After the contest was over, I was just happy that I had accomplished something that my family and I had worked for since we started this journey way back in the day.

It certainly couldn’t have been possible without the help of Spencer, Dad, Mom, Bryan Gast, Marty Miller, and Coach Taylor Frank who all pushed me to get to this point.

After my time at Butler is over, I plan to transfer to a senior college where I will be a member of the livestock judging team and pursue a degree in Agriculture Education.

After college, I hope to stay involved with coaching livestock judging and eventually come back to the farm in Missouri. In terms of long-term personal goals, I have enjoyed watching both my dad and brother judge livestock shows and work with the youth throughout the country, and I hope I get the chance to do the same. •

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

After judging in high school, I followed the footsteps of my brother and decided on Butler Community College where I would judge under Coach Taylor Frank.

I knew Frank would not only make me a better judge but also a better person. Butler is a top-notch program that has a history of being one of the more consistently successful junior college judging teams in the nation. Butler is not only known for winning at the highest level, but also having the reputation of producing respected young people that continually have an impact on the industry after their time in collegiate livestock judging is over. At Butler, it’s neat knowing you’re surrounded

by not only some of your best friends, but also the up-and-coming leaders of the agriculture industry as a whole.

STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY

BY: KENDRA VAN ORDER, MI

THE ALLEGAN COUNTY 4-H/HOPKINS FFA LIVESTOCK JUDGING TEAM

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

ver since its inception in 2004, there has always been one main focus and driving point for the Allegan County 4-H/Hopkins FFA Livestock Judging Team. That main emphasis and driving point is structural integrity. Structural integrity provides the building blocks for improvement and longevity in anything that you do. By having structural integrity, you are able to build off from a firm and durable foundation, with the strength to be successful in a plethora of scenarios to produce a blueprint for a more promising and rewarding future.

306

The Allegan County 4-H/Hopkins FFA Livestock Judging Team began in 2005 and traveled to several contests both in and out of the state of Michigan. Weekly practices were held to teach youth about prioritizing livestock characteristics, how to effectively communicate, and how to read, incorporate, and understand EPD/EBV values and scenarios. Mr. Chester Birch and Mrs. Kim Schut coached the team from 2004-2008 that included multiple state championships during that time period.

In 2015, the team was reestablished and Kendra Van Order, a former Allegan County 4-H/Hopkins FFA

Livestock Judging Team member, became the new head coach. Each year, the team competes at several contests throughout the year to prepare for the state contest held each July. Since the state contest in 2015, the team has been named the Reserve High Junior 4-H Team, the High Junior FFA Team, the Reserve High Junior FFA Team, the High Senior FFA Team, the Reserve High Senior FFA Team, the High Senior 4-H Team, and the Reserve High Senior 4-H Team. The team has also yielded the High Senior 4-H Individual, the High Senior FFA Individual, the Reserve High Senior FFA Individual, the High Junior FFA Individual, and the Reserve High Junior FFA Individual.

A number of individuals have also placed in the top ten overall in both their respective age groups and the reasons division. Several individuals have also placed in the Top 20 Senior 4-H Individual division and qualified to compete on a national team that represents the state of Michigan. The team has also earned many awards at contests such as the Ohio Beef Expo, the Illinois Beef Expo, the Michigan Beef Expo, and the Michigan State Fair.

This past year, the Allegan County 4-H/Hopkins FFA Team represented themselves well at both the Keystone International Livestock Exposition in Harrisburg,

Pennsylvania and the American Royal in Kansas City, Missouri. The team fielded three members, Kinsee Lettinga, Katrina Tucker, and Vanessa Veld, that represented Michigan FFA that competed in the junior division at the Keystone contest and placed 4th in reasons, 4th in swine, 4th in sheep, and 4th in cattle. That team of three was also named the 4th Overall Team in the junior division. As a part of the team that represented Michigan 4-H, Drew Flokstra and Stephanie Harvey helped the Michigan 4-H team place 3rd in beef and 7th Overall in the junior division. Four members of our team were named the High Senior 4-H Team at this past year’s state contest and earned the opportunity to compete at the American Royal to represent the state of Michigan. At the American Royal, team members Kinsee Lettinga, Katrina Tucker, Shannon Veld, Stephanie Harvey, and alternate Drew Flokstra placed 6th Overall in the 4-H division.

Katrina Tucker was named the 9th Overall 4-H Individual.

the program will learn and be able to take with them to use in each facet of their lives. Regardless of any accolades or successes we may achieve throughout our journey in this program, our main goal remains the same each and every year. We continuously strive to become better people who demonstrate the highest standard and quality of character in hopes of building a more promising and rewarding future for both ourselves, our families, and our communities.

Team members of the 2018 team include, Shannon Veld, Drew Flokstra, Vanessa Veld, Bridget Weller, Mary Mulder, Stephanie Harvey, Kinsee Lettinga, Bryce Jipping, Katrina Tucker, Curtis Flokstra, Jessica Harvey, Alyssa Jipping, McKenna Modreske, Blake Pillars, and Londyn Rolen. The team is coached by Kendra Van Order and is advised by Hopkins FFA teacher, Mrs. Jessica Couch. •

Although the team has earned several awards and titles and has enjoyed a great deal of success in the last three years, the foundation remains the same for future teams as it was for the initial team back in 2004. Building a strong structural foundation is essential for success both in livestock and in life. Learning how to prioritize in order to make the most profitable decisions, the ability to communicate effectively, and the capacity to think on your feet will be tools that each kid who participates in

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

The Showtimes had fun meeting the Allegan County 4-H/Hopkins FFA Livestock Judging Team while at the KILE in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania this past October. It has been a pleasure getting to know them and we wish them the best of luck with all of their future endeavors.

QUESTIONS: LAURIE REID ANSWERS: WADE RODGERS

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

RODGERS BULLS CONTINUE TO SIRE CHAMPIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. WADE SHARES HIS THOUGHTS ON HIS BULLS.

328

How has Rodgers Bulls / Cattle Company changed the industry, and what is the key to your success?

When I started Rodgers Bulls, there was a need for better cows on the backside of it. I built my bull battery around more proven donor type cows, so that they would breed truer and better. It has changed a lot. We have a lot more consistency in the calves. Especially, if you look back ten years ago, it was hit and miss. There is more of a variety of different bulls that a guy is able to breed to a more variety of cows. It has changed a lot that way. The consistency in the top end of them are as good or better than they have ever been. I have always been a quality type person. I have an admiration for high quality cattle. It is something I always strive to seek and look for. I always want to for sure have the best. If I don’t, I sure try to.

I buy a lot of my cows for my bulls.

If I see a cow and think, “Man, that thing could really click with Here I Am or with Fu Man Chu or with In God We Trust, that’s what I try to do.”

Ideally, at the end of the day you’re trying to make a high-quality product and for your bulls to work. To make all that happen, that’s what you have to do. Mix and match the plusses and negatives of everything.

What are the future goals for Rodgers Bulls / Cattle Company?

I challenge myself all the time to try to do better at everything that I do.

I always strive to have the best and do the best. Being able to do that year-in and year-out and being able to be where we are at now is a huge blessing. Hopefully we can keep going at the pace we are going now.

How does your family play a role in your operation?

My family plays a huge role. My wife is a major part of the business.

She does all of the book work and everything for the cows and the bulls.

She takes care of the children and the workers every day – making us meals.

Rhylee is getting to the age now that she is going to play a big role. I have always been one that believes we are going to do this as a project and do it together. She is going to have to step up and do a lot of the work if that is something she wants to do. She is starting to be a pretty big help out in the barn. That is something I strongly want my kids to play a part in. I want to help them, but I sure don’t want to do it for them. I want them to learn from their involvement. I’m sure we will lose more than we will win; but I want them to know the value of hard work and why we do what we do.

What is your favorite part of what you do?

I still probably deep-down like calving my cows. Just the anticipation of never knowing what you are going to get. It takes a full year to get that one calf and the excitement of going out there is probably my favorite.

Who has had a major impact on your life?

I have several. When I first started out, probably one of the first people I ever worked with was Brad Hook the year he had Heat Seeker the bull.

From there, I helped Tracy Goretska and Russ Harkema. I then went to Texas for four years and worked for Mark Copus. I have done some clipping for Bob May and respect him a lot. There are a lot of people who have helped me and influenced me in the business. Kirk Stierwalt, when I was a little bitty boy I always wanted to grow up and be like Kirk. He is such a great guy and a great clipper.

There are just several. • STOP BY THE HERDSIRE DISPLAYS IN THE YARDS IN DENVER TO SEE WADE RODGER’S NEW BULLS FOR 2019!

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

What is your priority when picking out your bulls?

I like to focus. I started with Walks Alone and it took me three or four years to find the right son of his that surpassed even his quality. We did that with Here I Am. It’s my hopes that our new bull coming this year, Wynne In Doubt, goes on to exceed him. I try to better the genetics.

There is something wrong with every bull out there. I work to find the next generation, hoping it can keep out producing itself. I don’t just try to go out and sell someone semen. I’m trying to improve what I’m doing on my end of it to make the industry better. Phenotype and the way they are breeding is very important to me.

It is a super slow process and it’s a try and fail or try and it’s works really well type of deal. The things that you do to try to improve your sire is what I strive to do for the next generation.

Instead of just having 20 Walks Alone sons, I more focus on trying to find the one that has things more right about him than his sire did, still with the positive attributes of his sire.

What are your strengths on the maternal side of the industry?

We are running close to 200 head of cows now. I upped my numbers even over the fall. My cow herd is something that doesn’t get nearly as promoted. We have all sorts of different lines of genetics and different breeding - Simmis, Maines, Crossbreds and some Angus. I am up to 15-18 donor cows. The show heifer deal was something I really didn’t pay as much attention to. Showing heifers is something that Rhylee (my daughter) showed interest in, so that is something we are starting to do.

I’m trying to have show heifers that are good, but ideally, at the end of the day I want them to be able to raise something. I don’t want to just buy a trendy show heifer to go win a show with; I want her to be able to produce.

MESSAGE

ROCK. E H T N O HOUSE S I H S D L I AN BU BY: BOB & JENNIFER BRUNS, TX A WISE M hen you head to a cattle show, one of the most dreaded projects is making up the stalls. No one gets excited about it. Everyone wants to just get it over with so you can get on to more important things.

We all know that if the stalls aren’t made properly, it will just cause problems for the entire duration of the show. There is a right way and a wrong way to make up the beds so they can withstand the weight of the cattle. It is a process of building, wetting, and packing the bed, knowing that if any shortcuts are taken, things will be a mess. It takes hard work, patience, practice, and persistence. If the panels aren’t secured and the fans aren’t stable, everything could collapse. Life can be exactly the same way.

First, you have to believe with all your heart that God sent Jesus to save us from our sins. You have to believe that Jesus loves you unconditionally. You have to believe that His love is not based on the things that you’ve done. You have to believe you are worthy of His love. John 3:16 says

The second step to a strong foundation is that you have to deal with your sin. No matter how bad you’ve been or what you’ve done, if you go to Christ and ask for forgiveness, it will be forgiven. We are all born with a sinful nature, but we have to be sorry and ask for God to change us.

In Christ, we receive God’s grace instead of punishment.

In Christ, its not up to us to “fix it”. He cleans us and transforms us from the inside out. The world wants us to doubt that we are good enough, but once we belong to God and are born again, we learn that the ground is level at the foot of the cross. We are still going to mess up, and when we do, we have to dust off and get back on track again.

The third component to a strong foundation is to make the commitment to live for Jesus. Day in and day out, we have to follow Him and put His words into practice, just like the scripture says. When situations come up, stop and ask yourself, what would Jesus do? John 8:12 says, “When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Believing and asking for forgiveness is not enough, we have to make the effort to follow Him. The next time you’re packing down the bedding, take your time and appreciate the fact that you’re building a solid foundation. Remember the foolish man that built his house upon the sand and make sure that you don’t cut any corners. •

In Matthew 7 Jesus says 24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” Just like making the beds, if we have one part without the others, it just doesn’t work. There are three basic steps to building a strong foundation for a Christian life.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” God didn’t pick and choose who He loves. He loves everyone in the world and wants us all to be part of His kingdom.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

GEARING UP FOR THE BEST YEAR YET!

THANK YOU!

BY: LISA REID, CO

t always feels like the livestock industry lives a year in a month and a month in a day.

This is extremely evident in the month of January with Stock Shows gearing up.

While The Showtimes has spent months preparing this magazine, designing booths and merchandise for the start of 2019, we can't help but think ahead to the exciting things we have planned for the rest of the year.

THE SHOWTIMES | JAN/FEB 2019

The Blackout Jackpot 7 is right around the corner. From March 22-24th, Loveland, Colorado will be the place to be if you show cattle, livestock judge or just want an electrifying weekend! An exciting new addition to the show this year is The Showtimes Internship opportunity! Be sure to check out all of the information regarding The Blackout on pages 237-245.

Our gaol as The Showtimes is to cover the livestock industry like none other. To do that, each year we like to add more shows and events to

our Tour. 2019 will not dissapoint!

Stay tuned for new Tour dates and locations and do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have a specific event you would like covered! There is nothing we like more than meeting new people, seeing different places and being a part of great agriculture related events!

As you focus on competeing at the Winter shows (such as the great Fort Worth Stock Show) and continue to stay busy at home, with your own operations and companies, make plans to advertise in our upcoming March/April 2019 Sire Edition. The advertising deadline is February 20th.

This will be the #1 publication for all of your breeding and industry needs come this Spring.

We are just starting on what we hope to be the best year yet for The Showtimes and the livestock industry as a whole!

Happy New Year and see you on our Tour! •

New Ad Design Policy When The Showtimes designs your ad, we will now email it to you to forward on to any other publications.

You will then have both the proof to post online as well as the high resolution file to print flyers or send to another magazine. To have us design your next ad, please email theshowtimes@yahoo.com!
