Fresh & Feminine™

This exciting new product has been proven with results and the demand for repeat orders has been tremendous. In fact, many of the major steer and heifer show winners from the past month feed Fresh & Feminine™, the secret to eye appealing show cattle! Feminine shape and freshness throughout the front end of your show animal spells ultimate success or failure in the show ring today.

This is how this feed supplement works … the superior science of Fresh & Feminine™ features a combination of strategic vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and a high concentration of by-pass protein sources. This chemistry boosts metabolic fat burning in the body that targets spe- cific areas of the body to reduce fat content, most notably in the neck and brisket area. The animal has a more feminine, attractive physique and even moves better. This helps to offset the results seen from aggressive, high energy show cattle diets.

All natural and fertility safe for open heifers, bred heifers, steers and bulls. Simply top dress 6 oz. per head per day of this pelleted supplement on your current ration until desired freshness has been achieved.

Sullivan’s

™

The brush for thinner haired cattle.

Introducing Sullivan’s SENSATION CURVE, this NEW twist to our popular SMART SENSATION delivers even more stimulation to the skin and adds body to the hair coat, making it a hair growth must have. With the SENSATION CURVE’S 302 precisely placed ball point teeth, no hair will be left clinging to the hide. Best for dull, lifeless hair that still needs volume due to lack of base coat.

Not only does the SENSATION CURVE contain 134% more teeth than the SMART SENSATION, but the teeth are also narrower and more flexible to allow hair and skin to be stimulated with an even gentler massage. The SENSATION CURVE’s design also has a more rounded curvature to the brush, which encourages more fluid rhythm to the hair working process while the Sullivan’s NEW texturized grip enhances the users comfort.

• 302 precisely placed ball point teeth, no hair will be left clinging to the hide.

• Teeth are more narrow and more flexible to allow hair and skin to be stimulated with an even gentler massage.

• This brush will be the perfect addition to your daily hair growing tools.

Patent Pending JULY/AUGUST 2015

Sullivan’s Black Velvet Hair Dye™

• Thicker formula that produces a brighter black, deeper down to the roots.

• Longer holding power with a proven, no burn formula.

• Comparisons welcomed.

Black Velvet is designed specifically for cattle hair. Black Velvet hair dye turns grey, red-tinted or faded hair into a beautiful jet-black color. Black Velvet infuses the hair with more softness, body and incredible shine.

Very easy to use. Apply at home to clean, dry hair. You will need three to four kits of Black Velvet for a 1,000 pound animal.

For long lasting beauty and color, Black Velvet is truly brilliant.

Stock Show Family Owned & Operated Since 1989.

Sullivan’s Wounded Warrior Project Comb This Limited Edition Smart Sensation Comb has the attractive colors of army green with a wood colored, round handle. This Wounded Warrior Project Comb allows the livestock industry to support America’s true heroes ... Sullivan Supply will donates $2 for every comb purchased.

NOTHING LIKE IT

T

IT’S TIME FOR THE STATE FAIRS! he State Fair Edition is always the one issue we look forward to every year. I believe it is the issue that all of our readers look forward to as well. This year’s issue might be our best yet!

At 480 pages it becomes our biggest issue to date, and is filled with show results, great articles and two new hall of fame members.

VOTED BEST LIVESTOCK SHOW PUBLICATION BEST OF THE BARNS

Growing up, the Colorado State Fair was always the one show I looked forward to more than any other. There was something about raising steers for the state fair. From the time we would start putting them in the cooler in April, to when we pulled into Pueblo, it was about getting our steers to look their best on show day in August. I always enjoyed walking to our barn on a hot 100 degree day, and opening the cool room door. The fans and cooler would be humming. There is nothing quite like a good fat steer, with perfect hair before they are clipped. It was always peaceful working cattle in the summer. We would spend every night down at the barn working our livestock. Sometimes, we wouldn’t come up from the barn until around midnight. You would think that

winning Grand Champion at the Colorado State Fair would be the most memorable part of raising steers, but it was actually the time spent at home with the calves I miss the most. I have many good memories with my family getting our animals read for the show.

We have had the opportunity to cover the Colorado, Nebraska and Illinois State Fairs the past few years. I am really excited to travel to Des Moines and cover the Iowa State Fair this August! It is definitely one show that I have always wanted to see! Be sure to look for us at the show.

This issue is definitely one of my favorites. We’ve included show coverage from junior nationals, a sale directory that organizes sales, highlighted top exhibitors and included ads from people across the country! If you haven’t already, be sure to download our free Showtimes App and use our new Pasture Sales feature!

I hope you enjoy the July/August 2015 State Fair Edition of The Showtimes!

Good luck at the shows!

NORTH AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL LIVESTOCK EXPOSITION 2015 UPDATE

JULY/AUGUST 2015

North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE) officials announced that the Beef Cattle Show Division is scheduled for November 14-20. The rotating show lineup that began last year, along with the staggered arrival and release schedule continues.

This year 19 different breeds will be represented, and 12 of the shows carry a “national” designation. The complete show schedule can be found on the NAILE website at livestockexpo.org.

THE SHOWTIMES

Feeder Calf Show Expanded The NAILE Single Steer and Single Heifer Shows will now allow individual entries without the requirement that the animal be a part of a Pen-of-Three to qualify to show. Show officials expect this change to lead to increased numbers and quality in this single competition. The minimum weight for feeder steers has increased from 750 lbs. to 800 lbs. The Feeder Calf and Pen Heifer Shows are scheduled for the afternoon of Saturday, Nov. 14 and will be followed by the Sale.

Sale Cattle Rule Change One Beef Cattle Division rule change concerns all sale cattle. Starting this year, sale animals must have premise Electronic Identification (EID) tags.

Junior Shows The junior shows begin on Saturday, Nov. 14 in the Kentucky Exposition Center’s Broadbent Arena.

On Sunday, junior shows are scheduled in both Broadbent Arena and Freedom Hall. Since 2007 winners from purebred and percentage Junior Heifer Shows compete for the Supreme Champion honor and a $2,500 prize. In addition, Main Trailer Sales of Seymour, Indiana will award the winner with a free one-year trailer lease.

› STEERS WILL NO LONGER BE MOUTHED The Junior Steer Show takes place on Sunday, Nov. 15. One rule change for the show is that steers will no longer be mouthed. The four NAILE junior market

shows, including the Junior Steer Show, are sponsored

by Farm Credit Mid America. Grand and Reserve Champion Steers are auctioned at the NAILE Sale of Champions held on Nov. 19 at 7:00 pm. The Sale is preceded by a reception starting at 6:00 pm, and everyone is invited to attend.

All Beef Cattle Division Shows will again be video streamed live on the NAILE website. Video archives of the 2014 are still available on the NAILE’s You Tube channel.

Entry Information Catalogs containing show information and rules are available for download on the NAILE website at www.livestockexpo.org. Printed catalogs and entry forms are automatically mailed to those who have participated in the NAILE the past two years.

Catalogs are free, and anyone wishing to receive one should contact the NAILE offices at P.O. Box 36367, Louisville, KY 40233-6367, by fax at 502-367-5299, or by e-mail at KFECNAILE@ksfb.ky.gov.

Entry deadline beef cattle shows is October 1.

Exhibitors may submit entries by mail at any time and on the website beginning September 1.

The 42nd Annual NAILE is produced by the Commonwealth of Kentucky at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky under the direction of the Kentucky State Fair Board. During the Expo’s run November 3 through 20, the facility’s entire 1,200,000 square feet of climate-controlled exhibit space is used. More than 220,000 visitors and exhibitors attend the event annually.

You can also view our online issue of The Showtimes to view each advertiser’s ad and the latest show results. Plus, you can watch Videos of the latest shows, view show News, write on our Fan Wall, take our latest Poll and learn more about the Owners! The Showtimes continues to lead the livestock show industry in new ideas. Thanks for everyones continued support and making the magazine what it is today! We hope you enjoy our new Pasture Sales feature on our app as you are out looking for your next great one! ▪

53 THE SHOWTIMES

Earlier this year we wanted to take our advertising to the next level. We were looking for a way to really provide our State Fair advertisers with the best of both worlds... print and technology. Each advertiser in this issue was offered a free listing on our Showtimes App (Valued at $100). In the past year thousands of people have downloaded our app, with the number of downloads growing after each show! Now anyone with our free app can not only view our online version of the July/August issue, they can also see the exact location of every sale!

All you have to do is open our app and click Pasture Sales. From there, you can click on any state to view sales only in a certain state such as Iowa or Nebraska. If you are interested in sales in different states, just select all at the top and view every sale across the country! Not only will the advertisers in the state you select be listed in alphabetical order, we also give you the option to view them on our map! The great part about the map view is you see the many different sales in the area you are

Our advertisers that selected the premier options, really take it to the next level. Not only will people with our app receive a Push Notification of their sale, they will also take advantage of our Geo-Targeted Push Notifications.

When you are driving through an area, such as West Central Iowa near Dennison for example, you will receive a Geo-Targeted Push Notification of a sale nearby. All you have to do to activate a push notification from an advertiser is drive inside a 100 mile radious of their sale!

This new technology is really the first of it’s kind and will make traveling to pasture sales that much easier!

JULY/AUGUST 2015

T

he Showtimes is excited to really show what our Showtimes App can do this summer and fall! In addition to the capabilities of reading our online issue, watching videos and staying updated with the latest show news, our app is now updated to make finding the next great calf that much easier! The Showtimes App now features every pasture sale that is advertised in the July/August issue right on your phone under Pasture Sales! Whether you want to view only pasture sales in Iowa, or view every pasture sale across the country, you can! In addition, each pasture sale is listed on our map with a pin to show you where they are located!

traveling through and where you could go next. One of the most powerful features is you can zoom out to see the entire country, state or area, as well as zoom in all the way to view nearby small towns and county roads. The closer you zoom in, the more roads that appear. If you see a pin on your map that is near by, you can click on it to see who’s sale it is and learn more about it. Once you click on a sale you will be taken to a page on our app with more information including the sale name, description, address, phone number, sale date and time it closes as well as a link to their website! If you click on their phone number, it lets you call them. If you click on their website, it goes right to their website. If you click their address, it will take you right to google maps where you can get directions right to their sale!

STREITMATTER AMILY Looking at the grand scheme of the show cattle industry our program is quite young. We have the honor of writing this article not to expound on the success we have had, but to explicate our journey and the lessons learned along the way. Honestly, it’s quite humbling to recollect.

BY THE STREITMATTER FAMILY, IN

F

OUR STORY Mike Streitmatter grew up on a farm in Rensselaer, Indiana, raising commercial cattle, grain farming, and finishing hogs. Ever since he was old enough to walk, agriculture was his way of life. After graduating high school Mike joined his father and brothers in their farming operation. He enjoyed each part of the operation, but raising cattle was his passion. Mike showed cattle at the county level and had a successful livestock judging career, but in the 80’s with an increasing interest in show cattle, Mike began breeding his higher quality commercial cows to popular new promotion bulls and sold the better offspring to local 4-Hr’s and local club calf traders. In 1988 Mike met Cheri Hazelwood from southcentral Indiana, and they were soon married. Although Cheri was not raised on a large farm in Trafalgar, Indiana, farming and rural Midwest life were her roots. For Mike and Cheri, raising a family with Christian values and strong work ethic was their priority. They would never have imagined in 1989 that within 15 years they would be blessed with 6 wonderful children; Ben, Josh, Hannah, Caleb, Rachel, and David. All six kids have interest in agriculture in one way or another. Because the farm was so instrumental in teaching the characteristics of dedication and hard work, they naturally decided to combine academia with the educational life experiences on a farm and homeschooled their children.

THE BOY’S PERSPECTIVE Our childhood revolved around life on the farm and helping dad in whatever way we could. Whether it was riding in the tractor, sorting cattle, loading hogs, or processing calves, we were involved in nearly every aspect of the operation. We were probably more of a hindrance than a help, but we were thankful to be exposed at a young age to the x’s and o’s of raising livestock and farming.

When beginning 4-H, we chose a different approach than most families. Our goal was to build a successful cow herd not win shows. Any wins were welcome, but we purposefully picked females that we believed would mature into successful, high-producing, breeding females. In the early years of our 4-h careers we worked with several traders who were instrumental in teaching us daily hair care, clipping, and fitting. However, we would all pinpoint the time we began doing our own

thing and buying cattle directly out of pastures as a turning point. We began taking trips to Iowa and the Dakotas each year in search of our future show heifers and cows. This was later recognized as a self-taught course in club calf industry 101. The memorable times spent on the road bonded us as a family, as brothers, and as cattlemen. On the road we discussed pedigrees, bulls, and calves we had seen as well as management practices and herd promotion techniques we observed that could be implemented into our own operation. In each pasture entered, we would allot time to look at each calf whether steer or heifer, good or bad. We took notes, compared, and discussed what we had seen; the flaws, the attributes, and the feeding potential.

This was our way of challenging and improving our evaluation skills. We would follow some of our favorite calves from the fall throughout the following show season to analyze our predictions. Our experiences began to pay off in our herd as higher quality calves were born and more predictable, consistent genetics evident.

Due to changes on our farm, we downsized the commercial herd to a small number of our best A.I. cows and leading donors. Through this we learned the importance of being efficient herd managers. We never blanket bred anything. Each cow was evaluated on the basis of breeding qualities. When you had only 30-40 cows

JULY/AUGUST 2015

to make competitive calves, micro management in your cow herd was a must. Trial and error was still part of the learning curve and taught us many lessons.

THE SHOWTIMES

78

As our program became more efficient at producing quality cattle and our skills sharpened as evaluators, our grooming skills were refined also. We three boys were responsible for the fitting, clipping, and presentation of all our show heifers and calves sold. We would study the champion pictures in magazines and watch some of the most successful fitters to see what they were doing and how they did it. We would simply see a new method of grooming and then go home and try it. As time progressed we found ourselves as some of the “go to kids” at state fair. We enjoyed our time fitting for others at state fair and getting to know other young fitters and competitive families.

Our time, study, and work began to pay off in 2007 when Ben exhibited the Reserve Champion Commercial Heifer at the Indiana State Fair, and Grand Champion at various other jackpot shows. That heifer became our most instrumental donor cow and raised numerous champions. However, 2008 was a “things are happening” kind of year. At the state fair, Josh exhibited the Champion Maine Heifer, Ben fit Celeste Martin’s Grand Champion Market steer, Josh was named Champion Overall Beef showman and later won the round robin to become the Master Showman. Notably, on the sidelines, our little brother, Caleb, was soaking in every experience, every show, and the wealth of knowledge was boiling inside for the future progress of our operation of which he is an integral part. Furthermore, a friendship was sparked with Brian Goettemoeller, whom we began doing business with.

The following years were very good to us. Shows won include Hoosier Beef Congress, Purdue AGR, Heart of it all, and various other jackpots and preview shows within Indiana.

As Ben and Josh’s show careers closed and college life began, our operation moved to focusing on our private treaty sale and marketing our animals for national level competitions. Some of our more popular winners include Becca Chamberlin’s “Winnie” female that became one of the winningest show heifers of 2012. Brandon Hagie purchased from us and exhibited a Shorthorn plus female that accomplished Grand Champion titles in Denver, Fort Worth, Junior Nationals, and NAILE. Each year we continue to grow and build our herd. This current year we are blessed to have had over 50 Top 5 finishes from the calves we sold this past fall. We couldn’t do this without our loyal customers who work hard and are a pleasure to work with. ▪

“THE LORD HAS BLESSED OUR FAMILY AND CATTLE OPERATION AND WE ARE THANKFUL TO HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE A LITTLE OF OUR STORY WITH EVERYONE.” UNTIL NEXT TIME, THE STREITMATTER FAMILY

FOUR THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT STREITMATTER SHOW CATTLE 1. WE ARE AN AVERAGE, EVERYDAY FARM FAMILY...

2. WE PROMOTE COMPETITIVE CUSTOMERS...

3. WE AREN’T FINISHED YET!!!

As long as there is life, there is room to grow and improve in every aspect. Commonly, Ben, Josh, and Caleb will sit down after a show season or our annual private treaty sale and discuss how to improve various aspects of the operation. We have a saying around the barn that keeps us humble in times of accomplishment or success: “the moment we think we have it figured out is the moment we have lost”. As long as we continue to participate in this industry, we plan to never stop learning or striving for progress. Something we have learned is there is a lesson to be learned from everyone you meet, whether it’s accuracy or error, wisdom or foolishness, diligence or carelessness, and we must be willing to learn with humble hearts. This is a principle we try to practice within our family operation. Each person has a voice, experience, or a lesson learned that can help us all. It’s what we draw from for strength and effectiveness in our family.

4. WE ARE APPROACHABLE.

Feel free to call or visit at any time. Whether on the farm or at a show, we love talking cattle and industry topics with fellow cattlemen. We are an open book ready for advice and willing to share anything of value known. If you see one of us at a show or at a farm across the country, be sure to stop and introduce yourself. We’d love to learn about your operation. Look us up on Facebook or on Showsteers.com if you have questions or are interested in the future of our operation.

79 THE SHOWTIMES

... and treat each of our customer’s calves as our own personal project. We make it our mission to ensure each exhibitor is given an equal chance to accomplish their individual goals throughout the show season whether it’s to win a class, division, breed, or grand. Working alongside our customers to manage their calves is what we enjoy the most. We’re always on call and love it. Having once been in their shoes, we are passionate about teaching, guiding, and training young 4-Hers so they can accomplish their dreams. Not saying we have all the answers, but if there is something we have learned in the past that we can pass on, that is our aim. It doesn’t matter the price level or how we think the calf will do, our goal is to make sure every calf we sell is fed to its maximum potential, fit to the highest level, and ultimately made the best it can be. Our customers are often times our closest friends when it’s all said and done. We may be in the cattle business, but the people business is the most important part of life, and we hope to build relationships with customers and competitors that last a lifetime.

JULY/AUGUST 2015

...that has lives outside of cattle shows and barn work. Mike operates and manages all aspects of the grain operation, manages the day to day functions of the cow herd, and still AI’s each cow that goes through the chute during breeding season. He has served several years as a deacon at our church. Cheri is a stay-at-home farm wife and continues teaching Rachel and David at home.

She is the operation’s biggest cheerleader yet biggest critic and sometimes has to get us back in line. She also devotes her time to Children’s ministries at our local church. Ben is busy as a part time real estate agent and works on the farm full time as well. He has been married for three years to Taylor, whom we adore. Josh recently completed his degree at Purdue University in Animal Science and judged on the Purdue livestock judging team, who won the national title this past fall at NAILE. He has accepted a position with Agri-King and works full time as an Area Sales Manager and Nutritional Consultant while maintaining his roll on the farm and within the cattle operation. Hannah was our county fair queen, and we enjoyed supporting her through that experience. She has graduated from cosmetology school and works in the Lafayette area for Christina & Company Hair Salon and Day Spa. She helps out in any way she can around the farm and makes sure all the guys have fresh haircuts before they leave for shows. Caleb graduates high school this year yet has completed two full year of college credits. He plans to attend Purdue University. Caleb is quite the stockman and has enjoyed showing multiple species with much success. He exhibited the Champion Hampshire Lamb at the 2013 American Royal and has also shown many champions across the Indiana swine and sheep circuit. He has put together a banner collage that could rival the other boys combined. Rachel and David keep us tied to 4-H and youth activity for which we are thankful.

Rachel has finished a successful show season with her steer, Trigger, and is full time in the cooler this summer in preparation for state fair. She has devoted time in the past to washing and blowing calves for our sales and enjoys spending time at shows with her friends. It’s hard to believe David begins 4-H this year but has been working with cattle for a while now. He’s a busy little guy keeping track of his show pigs and playing travel league baseball over the summer.

JULY/AUGUST 2015

consumed most of, if not all of my life. My parents, Todd and Kim, grew up showing livestock together, and started Caldwell Show Cattle in 1995. I can still remember hustling up to the cattle barn at a young age, trying to keep up with the boys as best I could. Twelve years ago, I took my first steps into a show ring, hoping that one day I could become the steer showman my father always dreamed of having. I showed at a few local shows and I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t until later that I realized that it might not be the right ring for me. My parents were aware that with my dad selling show-cattle across the country, it would affect his business if one of his kids continued to show. This was and still is a hard decision for my parents to make. However, one of the boys on the farm would soon introduce to me a unique solution. We had a few kids working in the barn that year, one of them being Grant Weisinger, otherwise known as “Bubblegum”. His family had been raising and showing pigs for years, so he decided to bring me a barrow to show at the local fair that year. As I worked with my barrow, I realized that I had found the animal for me.

S

ince my childhood years, I’ve always been told that winning a major stock show would be like catching lightning in a bottle: something that I viewed nearly impossible. As I have grown older, I have realized that these “lighting in a bottle chances” don’t come around very often, and when they do, it becomes an irreplaceable moment to never be forgotten.

From the time I was born until now, agriculture has

The following year, a good friend of my dad’s, Timmy Heckman bought two gilts out of South Dakota and offered to let us show them. We still laugh about our first jackpot show and all of our “first mistakes”. I am not even sure that Olivia and I knew what type of pigs we were taking! Call it beginner’s luck, but we had grand champion gilt that day with a pig we had named “Big Mama”. We were as green to this pig industry as one could get, but our entire family was hooked. For the remainder of that year, you would find our family at every jackpot show that we could get to. Poor Timmy was often found at our house at odd hours of the night, just because dad wanted everything checked over!

Because, as many of you may be aware, my dad can be a perfectionist when it comes to livestock and getting one ready for a show.

Since that time, my family has been very successful at both the state and national level. We have won many

WORLD PORK EXPO

To be honest, I was burnt out. Like many others, we put countless hours in at the barn, and in our home, once we commit to something, we are expected to give it our all.

My parents push us to do everything to the best of our ability because they know sometimes it’s the little things that separate you from winning or losing. My dad had always dreamed of winning the Indiana State Fair as a kid and it had always just remained that, a dream. My mom dreamed of winning her division at a National Junior Heifer show, and that too remained just a dream. As I soon would realize, sometimes it isn’t always about winning; sometimes it is losing that makes you a stronger person.

I will forever remember the phone calls from those who were supporting me in every way they could. We talked about our success, the hard work it entailed, and about how giving up isn’t, and never will be an option. They explained that they would have my back through thick and thin, no matter what. I think every young person needs a mentor of some kind in their life to help them through difficult times. I will forever be indebted to these individuals, because if it weren’t for them, I would not be where I am today.

141 THE SHOWTIMES

Although we have had many years of success and were able to fill our barn with banners, I still harbored a dream. Not to sound selfish or disrespectful to the amount of banners we had won, but I still dreamed of winning a major stock show. As many families can attest, we all think we have plenty of time, and if it doesn’t work out this year, we have next year to try again. That was the case in our lives. I dreamed at night of being at a major stock show and being in grand drive. The pigs and the show ring would change in my dreams, but the end result was always the same: wanting to win that big one. My parents and those that worked with us were aware, and to be honest, they have all worked their butts off to try to make it happen. In the past eight years, my family had been fortunate enough to bring home Reserve, Third, Fourth, and Fifth overall banners from the World Pork Expo.

Although this was an incredible accomplishment, we were never able to get over the hump and win Grand Overall. Each and every year we were sure that we had “the one”, but each time we were sent home without that “big” win. We would have one get sick the day before we left for the show, or have one crack a pad; normal things that happen to anyone in the livestock world. I am not saying we had bad luck,

but at the end of the day, something was still not quite right. In January of this year, after showing in Denver, I can honestly say that I could feel my dream slipping away. I am going to be a senior in the fall and I knew my years had slipped away quicker than I had ever imagined. I thanked my parents for everything they had done to support me, and said that I thought I was done showing for good.

JULY/AUGUST 2015

grand champions on the ICPA circuit as well as having won the overall gilt points for several years. Our family is very proud of how well we have done, but we realize that it would have never been possible without hard work that started at home. We also realized that many would consider us outsiders since we do not raise pigs. Dad said to work hard, be dedicated, be respectful of those that make their living in this industry, and success will eventually come. It has also helped that we have some of the best in the business helping us select our pigs. Travis Platt, Brandon Ogle, Blane Olson, and Ben Bobell were some of the first ones that believed in us and helped to show us the ropes. I still remember Ben helping me with showmanship pointers before I would go into the ring.

Those individuals may not realize the impact they have had on my life, but they have helped shape me into who I am today.

THE SHOWTIMES

JULY/AUGUST 2015

I by no means want anyone to think that I was ungrateful or was trying to downplay the success we as a family have had, but as any teenager we all have different hopes and dreams. Some may dream of making that winning touchdown in a football game, or having the highest grades at school. Whatever yours may be, my dream lies in a square enclosure, surrounded by my opponents, all trying to “catch lightning in a bottle.” My moment finally came on June 4th, 2015.

We get our summer gilts towards the end of January every year, and it isn’t until the end of March that we decide who shows what gilts. Typically, Liv would get the CPS breeds, Cole gets his landrace and I will have the durocs or the yorks. We have tried to keep it separate so that we are not competing against each other and that has worked out well for our family. The last several years, we have purchased hamp gilts from Jesse Heimer for Olivia to show, so that

she can be competitive in the NJSA ring. This year we had talked as a family that with a barn full of steers for Olivia, I would be getting the best pigs regardless of which breed they may be. I will never forget the day my dad met Jesse to bring the hamp home. I text him to see how she looked and he responded with “this one is pretty special”.

As we got closer to the first jackpot, decisions had to be made. Liv went with my parents and they talked about the hamp and how important this show season was to me. She came to me later and said “Maddie, I want you to show her, I know how much this means to you”. To have your sibling give something up for your dreams is a feeling like no other. What a selfless thing to do for another person. I can never thank her enough for what she gave up for me that day. It is truly a family effort in our home and I am proud to say that we all work together for a common goal.

WORLD PORK EXPO was so much better than any dream ever could be.

When the day of the World Pork Expo came, I am not sure I can put into words how the entire day felt. I woke up and asked my mom what I should wear, just like every other show-day I’ve ever had. She chuckled and said, “Let’s try that yellow one. Third times the charm, right?” As I began to button my shirt and remove the dry cleaning tags, I noticed the numbers 553 and 944 on both of the tags, and for our family, double digits are a continuous sign of good luck. I decided I needed all the luck I could get and I left the dry cleaning tags on for the remainder of the day. Our other lucky charm that day was a butterfly that had landed on the back of my champion duroc at last years state fair.

That barrow had come from Brandon and that butterfly symbolizes our commitment to achieving the dream. The butterfly stayed with me for the remainder of that year and continued to sit in a jar on my bedside table until it came time to head off to Des Moines.

I have been in a show-ring so many times, yet as I got ready to head to the ring with my hamp, I can’t begin to tell you how nervous I was. After winning my class and then winning champion hamp, the smile on all of our faces said what no words ever could. Having to wait the rest of the day seemed endless, but I tried to enjoy every minute of this already incredible day. Prior to grand drive, Travis Platt looked at Brandon Ogle and said I will take Cole and the landrace up; you and Maddie do your thing. There is no one else I would want by my side. He gave me some last minute pointers: “Stay composed, don’t overdrive, you’re this close so go ahead and finish it off ”. With my family in the stands and those that support our family looking on, I finally realized that my dream was coming true. The reality

Not to be left out, Olivia was also very successful in the Team Purebred ring, finishing the day with Grand Champion Gilt Overall. To have our family win both rings in the gilt show was something beyond our wildest dreams.

We had worked so hard for these shows and it had paid off. One of my favorites moments of the day occurred right after grand drive. A young lady’s grandfather approached me and said “Young lady, Congratulations.

No one could have deserved this more. My granddaughter looks up to you and I hope that one day she can follow in your footsteps.” That young lady happened to be Hadley Hendrickson, and one day I hope her and her family realize how much this comment meant to me. I hope that any young person that is reading this article realizes the value of hard work and dedication to what you love, and above all, to never give up.

To this day, I am still at a loss for words when anyone asks me to describe this years World Pork Expo. I can’t begin to thank all of those people that have stood beside my family and showed their support thru the years. Andy Rash had so many important points that he made in his grand drive speech. He talked about relationships, how hard they are to maintain and keep in this competitive industry. True friends are a rare treasure, one that when found you hold so close to your heart. He also talked about being convicted in all that you do. Whether it is showing livestock, playing basketball, or whatever activity you may choose, be convicted in what you do each and everyday; and last but not least, he commented that this World Pork Expo was not just a hog show. For me, and my endless nights of dreaming, the 2015 World Pork Expo was NOT just another hog show. It was finally being able to catch that lightning in a bottle. ▪

LEAVING HER MARK The exhibitor of the Grand Champion Polled Female + Reserve Champion Horned Female in Grand Island shares how this big win was the final chapter to her junior show career.

I

BY BAILEY BUCK, OK

was lucky enough to grow up on a purebred cattle operation and with that came traveling across the country to various shows throughout the year.

However, of all the shows I have exhibited at over the years, junior nationals have always been my favorite. Traveling to a different state every year was always the high point of my summer. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to see those friends that I had made in the years before or compete in the many contests. Later in my show career, junior nationals became more than a place for water fights with kids from across the nation or memorizing quiz bowl questions, it became an open door to many opportunities. From my involvement at MaineAnjou junior nationals specifically, I was able to serve as a junior director and became President of the junior board.

This enabled me to interact with other exhibitors in a different way. I also met one of my college roommates and

beyond the backdrop

some of my very best friends at a national junior show. In my eyes, a junior national is much more than a cattle show, it is a variety of opportunities waiting to happen.

Every young person that has been to a national junior show during the summer leaves home with the same dream, returning with the championship banner. I exhibited at my first Maine-Anjou Junior Nationals in Enid, Oklahoma as a six year old and since then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had that same dream. I have been extremely fortunate to exhibit a few champions at various junior nationals across the country. I had my first junior national champion in 2004 when my heifer, Lola, was selected Champion MaineTainer Female at Maine-Anjou Junior Nationals. In 2010, I was fortunate to exhibit both the Champion MaineAnjou and MaineTainer females at Maine-Anjou Junior Nationals, as well as the Champion Polled Female at the

Junior National Herford Expo (JNHE). In 2012, I exhibited the Champion Chianina Female at Chianina Junior Nationals and Reserve Champion MaineTainer Female, and in 2013, I was able to succeed at the JNHE once again when my heifer was selected as Champion Horned Female.

Getting ready for the JNHE this year felt completely different than the past 16 years of junior national preparation. It had finally “hit me” that the 2015 JNHE would be the final show of my junior career. This summer I was extremely blessed to exhibit both the Grand Champion Polled Female and Reserve Champion Horned Female at the Junior National Hereford Expo. After I was selected for Reserve Champion Horned Heifer, I remember darting through the crowd to my polled heifer that was in the holding area and being surrounded by “Congratulations.” When I finally found my dad holding my heifer I told him that I didn’t even need to go in for

the polled show, I had accomplished something major already. During the grand drive when the judge came walking toward me to slap my heifer for Champion Polled Female, my face went into a huge smile and I fought back tears of extreme happiness. I believe those younger exhibitors of the past that dreamed of bringing home the purple banners every summer are now the senior exhibitors that hope to finish their junior career with a bang. I am truly blessed to have accomplished that goal.

As I walked out of the junior national ring for the last time, I immediately found my parents and our crew ready for high fives, hugs, and some tears. Those tears of joy that I tried to hold back in the show ring were streaming down my face. When you’re a child, sometimes you don’t realize how many people are helping you every step along the way. From the first time I set foot in the show ring I have had my dad and Matt Scasta by my side. I owe everything I know about cattle and the cattle industry to my dad, as well as all of my success.

Matt Scasta and the Moore family are the people that have helped to make it all happen the past 16 years. I cannot remember a show that I haven’t walked out of the ring to give my parents, Matt, or the Moore family hugs and high fives. In my opinion, we have a crew that is second to none and I appreciate all they do for me.

I have been extremely blessed with success during my junior show career and I can’t wait to see what the cattle industry holds for young exhibitors in the future. This industry gave me my stock show family, my best friends, scholarships, and people I admire a great deal and it doesn’t get much better than that! ▪

GOING OUT WITH A BANG The exhibitor of the Grand Champion Progress Steer shares about her win , history & future with the Hereford breed.

BY AMANDA BACON, AR

I

went to my first Hereford Junior National before the age of one, and have continued to go every year since.

I jumped right into showing as soon as I was eligible. It was difficult to go to my final JNHE as a junior member, but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine going out with any bigger of a bang.

I will always remember that champion handshake; and more importantly my fellow NJHA members sharing their excitement over my win as well as they ran to congratulate me. I am excited to serve the NJHA as chairman over the next year and be there for other junior members to share in their success - in and outside of the show ring.

I will be a senior this fall at Oklahoma State University majoring in animal science and agricultural communications.

I plan to continue to be involved in the livestock industry working in the communications field and raising Hereford cattle. I will always be grateful for my time in the NJHA and the life lessons and opportunities I have been given. â&#x2013;Ş

“THE HEIFER”

It’s just the beginning for the exhibitor of the Grand Champion Maine-Anjou Female.

H

BY CADE AUSTIN, WI

ello! My name is Cade Austin. I am 12 years old and live in Milton, Wisconsin which is 40 miles southeast of Madison.

My parents are Ron and Michelle. I have a 9 year old brother, Chance and a Golden Retriever named Naile. My family owns a small herd of Maine and Angus influenced cows which mostly consist of former show heifers and recipients. My parents call it a hobby gone wild. I showed my first heifer at the age of 7 and have loved showing cattle ever since, especially the fitting part of showing.

When I’m not working in the barn with my cattle, I participate in football and AAU basketball.

Last fall, my family set a goal to own a heifer we could take to our first Jr. National Show. We were fortunate to have Willie Weis and Phil Halbach find us a Maine Anjou heifer they thought could work for us. “The Heifer” (yes, that is her name) is a Premium Blend out of a Heat Wave cow, raised by Butler Maines, Iowa.

On show day I was excited and nervous, because I knew there were also a lot of high quality cattle in my class and at the show. I kept thinking to myself, “just do my job in the show ring and hope for the best.” I couldn’t believe it when she won her class, then division, and then Grand Champion.

There were many feelings I felt after being selected Grand Champion.

Excited, emotional, and shock are all words that come to mind. This experience has been truly amazing and something I will never forget. I am most proud that I fit a leg on a National Champion. For any kid who likes to fit, that was a pretty cool feeling.

I feel fortunate, humbled, and blessed because this was a dream that could not have happened without support and encouragement from an entire team of people. I owe much of my success to my parents and brother, Chance, as we spent countless hours in the barn together working on hair and showmanship. Thank you to Willie Weis and Phil Halbach for your guidance, mentorship, and placing this heifer with us. Also, without the expertise of the fitting crew (Phil, Willie, Ben Weis, Troy Klimesh, and Jason Minnaert), this dream would not have been realized.

Most of all, I cannot wait for next year to see the new friends I made. ▪

BY LESLIE ROGERS, IN

Looking back, I remember my back was toward the judge when he finished his grand drive speech. Since I was showing the Cow/Calf pair, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting much. All of a sudden, I saw him out of the corner of my eye heading straight toward me. When he shook my hand, a whirlwind of emotions hit and I absolutely could not believe we had won the National Junior Chianina Heifer Show and 4th Overall Heifer in the short moments following. This has been a group effort from day one and the past couple of years would not have been possible without my wonderful and supportive family and friends. I am so thankful for the people who have made falling in love with this game and industry so easy, and I will always find a way to continue to be involved because of you.

175 THE SHOWTIMES

Heading into Chianina/Maine Jr. Nationals this year my goal was to have fun. I thought, walking away with a reserve division champion, a division champion and Reserve Grand Chianina Heifer in 2014 was a little too good to be true. I never imagined this year would turn out even better.

JULY/AUGUST 2015

y first Chianina/Maine Junior Nationals was just three short years ago in Lima, Ohio. I remember walking in, not knowing what to expect and walking away wishing I could have been going since my first year as a junior. Having the opportunity to travel and attend any Junior National show is a blessing in itself. The competition is always the best of the best and each year it has pushed me to work harder than the last.

FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY

P.D.

MILLER THE EXPIERENCES, OPPORTUNITIES + KNOWLEDGE THIS WESTERN TRANSPLANT GAINED THROUGH GROWING UP IN AGRICULTURE WILL LEAD HIM THROUGH LIFE

BY P.D. MILLER, WY

P. D . M I L L E R | A G R I C U LT U R E 206

I

may be a transplant to the west, moving to Torrington, Wyoming from Pennsylvania at the age of two, but I have grown up living a western lifestyle. Since I was old enough to walk, I have been involved with agriculture. My family owns and operates a custom cattle feedyard and we raise around 300 club calves per year at M Lazy Heart Ranch. My parents, Paul Jr. and Christine Miller, instilled family values and encouraged work ethic from my brother, Skyler, my sister, Paige, and myself through our agricultural lifestyle.

This hard work paid off when I hit the show ring.

At the age of six I selected my first prospect show steer and won the Wyoming State Fair prospect calf show. As I turned eight, I became heavily involved with 4-H and other youth organizations such as the Junior Chi and Maine-Anjou Associations. Over the years, I have been fortunate to have many of the same successes at not only a state, but a national level as well. These successes include wins at Chi Junior Nationals, N.A.I.L.E., and the National Western Stock Show. Through 4-H, I not only had success in the show ring, but at multiple contests.

These contests included meats and livestock judging.

I was named a state champion several times in both contests and was even fortunate to be named an All-American in livestock judging. This is where my passion for livestock judging formed and I set a goal to judge every major steer show in the United States. To this day I still hold this same goal, but have expanded it to include every major heifer and barrow show as well.

As my freshman year rolled around I joined our local FFA chapter. Right away I started my SAE project. This project consisted of three parts: my own cattle herd, working for my parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feedyard, and labor exchange for M Lazy Heart Ranch to pay for my cow herd expenses. 3-Mill Cattle Company is my own personal cow herd where I raise high quality club calves. I pay for this investment by working for my parents at M Lazy Heart Ranch.

Here I must work cows, clean tanks, build fence, and perform other tasks. In excphange, my parents cover

feed, pasture rent, semen, vet bills and other cash expenses.

Working jobs at the feedyard helps give me spending cash and some savings for my future.

In FFA, I also competed in over five CDEs at a state level.

My freshman year at state convention, I competed in livestock evaluation, creed, and agronomy. I was fortunate enough to be named second in the creed speaking contest and be on the state champion agronomy team. After state convention, my agronomy team and I traveled to the National FFA Convention for the agronomy contest where we were eighth overall. As I progressed into my sophomore year I competed in livestock evaluation and meats evaluation. Once again, my livestock evaluation team was fortunate enough to be state champions and earn a spot at the National FFA Convention. Here we were named

National Champions, and I was named National Champion Individual.

This earned us a trip overseas to visit agriculture in Ireland, Scotland, and England. We also competed at an informal contest while overseas. This trip was very rewarding and opened my eyes toward agriculture on an international scale. During my junior year I competed in meats evaluation and ag sales. During my FFA career I have held three offices: sentinel my sophomore year, treasurer my junior year, and vice president my senior year. These offices have helped me develop as a person and as a leader.

I have a love of the livestock animal show industry. I have grown up showing cattle, hogs, sheep and even helping my sister with her goats.

My brother and I have been on competitive cattle fitting teams with championships at Chianina Jr Nationals, Maine Anjou Jr Nationals, Wyoming State Fair, Ak Sar Ben and most recently the 2015 National Western Stock Show. Not only do we compete in fitting contests, we have presented several demonstrations to the youth of Goshen County and Wyoming. We want to share our passion for the industry.

Outside of agricultural activities, I am also heavily involved with the football, basketball and track teams at my school. This year I was an Eastern Wyoming Athletic Conference All-Conference and All-State selection for football. I was also fortunate enough to participate in the Wyoming Shrine Bowl. In school, I am a member of the first ever Torrington High School Leadership Class. Here I mentor freshmen and change our school for the better. As far as community service, I have over 15 hours of mentorship for this class. I recently started coaching our local 4-H livestock judging team and completed over 60 hours of community service.

After high school I plan to receive a post secondary education from Butler Community College in Kansas where I will judge livestock and pursue an animal science degree. When junior college is finished I plan on receiving a bachelor’s degree from a four year university where I will also judge livestock. After completing my bachelor’s degree, I will attend law school to become an agricultural lawyer. I have intentions to raise club calves, and own a law firm some day. If I do not end up in the law profession, I would like to come home and manage my parents’ feedyard. Either way, I feel blessed to be so heavily involved in an industry that feeds the nation and raises families at the same time. ▪

ARMADILLO

EGGS

FUN, FLAVORFUL + PERFECT FOR FEEDING A CROWD!

BY ANITA MITTAG, IA

hat an honor to be asked to submit the feature recipe in the state fair edition of The Showtimes Jr. Livestock Magazine! When asked to do so, several family favorite recipes came to mind, but with football and tailgate season approaching soon, I decided that the recipe for Armadillo Eggs was the perfect choice. These flavor packed sausage meatballs have always been a huge favorite of our cattle sale crew every September during our annual Showman’s Choice sale.

Bursting with the flavors of Italian sausage, cheese and green chilies, these eggs will make the perfect appetizer at your next party! ▪

ingredients: 2 lbs. Italian sausage 2 ½ c. regular Bisquick baking mix 2 ½ c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese ½ c. diced green chilies 1 box extra crispy chicken Shake and Bake Directions: Mix first 4 ingredients( Can use hands to mix, but using the stand mixer is easier and mixes the ingredients much better). Shape into balls(about the size of golf balls). Roll eggs in the Shake and Bake crumbs and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Makes 20-30 servings depending on size of the eggs.

Loyal followers do not despair, I have fought diligently this year to forgo the temptations of the cardiac on a stick to bring to you once again a few of my favorite dining dives!

I must say my sharing did get a little out of hand recently in Louisville when 20 stock show attendees followed my suggestion and showed up all at the same time at The Cottage Inn for the ALL YOU CAN EAT chicken and trimmings. That resulted in one mad cook when he couldn’t keep up and came storming out of the kitchen providing some free entertainment!

ILLINOIS STATE FAIR

I’d say that’s enough of that so let’s go to the State Fair of Illinois in Springfield. I promised in an earlier article that I would find the place to eat in Springfield and guess what - I did! My inquiries to the locals led me to a jackpot - a legendary place serving “Horse Shoes.” Having never had or heard of an edible menu item with that name, I had to go! Leaving the Reid family behind at the Chi/Maine show I followed my nose to “Charlie Parkers Diner.” What a place! Small in size but big on taste and service. The Horse Shoe is large enough for a couple of hardy young men to consume. I’ll have the pony Shoe the next time I go there and hopefully take the Reid family with me so they can experience The Shoe. I’m not giving the details on the Horse Shoe; you will have to go there to find out for yourself just what the Horse Shoe is. Charlie’s Diner has been voted “Delicious Destination” by the Illinois Office of Tourism, “Best of Springfield” by the Illinois Times, has been on TV with “DDD” and now in Showtimes with “BBB” - it can’t get any better than that! Don’t forget this little place is also known for its breakfast menu featuring breakfast horse shoes!

IOWA STATE FAIR

Next on the State Fair list is Des Moines, IA. It seems like I can’t get away from some of the cities but I will share with you some new places to experience. I didn’t realize it until I was already in the writing mode when it dawned on me that I had two BBQ places to write about in this article; but they are a couple of states apart so I’d say I’m okay in covering both of them. When in Des Moines you really need to try “Jethro’s BBQ and Jake’s Smokehouse Steaks.” I frequent the location in Altoona. The ribs and brisket are as good as it gets, but in my

BURT DERRYBERRY, OK

CIMARRON TRAILERS/FOOD EXPERT APP

mind the best thing on the menu may be the onion rings!!! Last, but not least, at Jethro’s are the sandwiches. They are very generous with portions at this establishment.

COLORADO STATE FAIR

Heading west and south brings me to the Colorado State Fair in Pueblo. I found a little piece of paradise about 15 miles south on I-25, “Obies Fillin Station.” You can escape the hustle and bustle of the fair and take in some fresh air, nice scenery and then some of the very best BBQ outside of Oklahoma! Obies is a friendly little place that is very deceiving on what waits for you inside. It’s as clean as my wife’s kitchen inside and the food is plain good. The Elk sausage with jalapeno’s and cheddar cheese is good enough to make you order some to go so you can have it at home. The ribs and brisket are awesome, the portions are generous and the prices are very affordable - plus there is plenty of parking for stock trailers !

FIND MORE PLACES TO EAT THIS SUMMER!

OKLAHOMA STATE FAIR

Circling back a little closer to home is the Oklahoma State Fair in OKC. There’s just one place that comes to mind (close enough to sneak in a Saturday get away from home) – “Jimmy’s Roundup Café & Fried Pies!”

This place deserves a full page write up by itself! Jimmy’s has been in business for over 25 years and is one of the best kept secrets in OKC. I have been in Jimmy’s with at least 10 people at one time with everyone ordering different menu items from full blown breakfasts to chicken fried steaks! I can’t say enough about Jimmy’s. The quality and quantity can’t be matched by any place I have been. From the homemade hot rolls to the fried pies (apricot is my favorite), I dare you to find a better eatery! Not mention Ole Jimmy is one of us. He used to raise and sell Chester White pigs, so he knows how it is to be at a stock show and want something good to eat. I wouldn’t suggest stock trailers here the parking is a little limited but this is THE PLACE to take a group of hungry stock show kids, the prices are very affordable here!

Folks let’s face it I could go on and on but I think I’ve shared enough for this time. Once again, if you have a favorite dive you would like to share, please feel free to do so! I’m always up for a new adventure! ▪

INFLUENCE

PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESS:

JULY/AUGUST 2015 THE SHOWTIMES

294

WHAT IS INFLUENCE? Influence is the power to affect, guide and shape the opinions and actions of others without making them feel pressured. It is a way to motivate your fellow showmen toward common goals. Hand-in-hand with sportsmanship in and out of the show ring, influence equips you to leave a legacy that will outlast you, extend your reach, provide you with new opportunities and help you become a better industry leader.

Throughout your show career, you’ll come across people who will influence you both positively and negatively. It’s important to keep in mind the main components that make up influence while being sure to keep in check things that stand in the way of being an influential person. Check out the following list of Do’s and Don’ts of influential people.

Do’s and Don’ts of INFLUENCE Be Trustworthy. Trust is an extremely important piece of having strong personal character. When people trust you and feel that they are trusted by you, the more likely you are to have an impact in their lives and be looked up to as a role model in the livestock industry.

Compromise Your Morals. When you lie, cheat, bend the show rules, break promises, neglect your chores and more, you prove that you can’t be trusted and your influence as someone credible becomes insignificant. Always do what’s right rather than compromising your principles.

Stand Up for Yourself. Standing up for yourself and your ideas openly and honestly are common traits of influential people. When you do so in a positive, non-threatening way while respecting others’ opinions, they respect yours in return.

Have Bad Manners. You may not agree with other peoples’ routines or way of doing things, but the manner in which you disagree says a lot about your character. And always remember, kindness and a simple please or thank you go a long way no matter the situation.

Be Reliable. Over time, you can build a reputation of being responsible and reliable as you stick to commitments, follow through on promises, avoid making unreasonable promises, deal with any setbacks faced with your livestock projects, and much more.

Have a Bad Attitude. A bad, cynical attitude will get you nowhere. It’s easy to be negative when things don’t go your way in the ring, or you don’t feel like working with your animals. Keeping a good, positive attitude is your chance to see the silver lining of your hard work.

Work Hard. When people notice you working hard and putting valuable effort into your livestock projects, they gain respect for you and your work ethic.

Think Less of Those Around You. We’ve all had to start somewhere. It might be easy to look down on new showmen for not doing things correctly, but use it as an opportunity to teach them what you’ve learned throughout your show career about how much work goes into showing livestock animals.

Be Generous. Go the extra mile to help a fellow showman. Share your knowledge, successes and even failures so that others can learn from you. You will find that doing so earns their respect and influences them to pay it forward as well. When you are generous, you become a better showman.

Be Selfish. People don’t look up to others who are dishonest, take all the credit, reap all the benefits or express an interest outside of themselves. How can you influence others when you concentrate only on yourself?

BY WEAVER LEATHER LIVESTOCK

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN INFLUENTIAL? Can you think of someone who has been an influence in your show career and what have you learned from him/her? How do you use that knowledge to influence others, or how can you be a better influence to your fellow showmen?

Join us at facebook.com/thewinnersbrand or thewinnersbrand.com and click on the link provided to share your influence experience! You will be entered in a random drawing for a Weaver Leather Livestock prize package and your story will be shared in the next issue of Showtimes Magazine!

CONGRATULATIONS TO MADISON D... ...last issue’s randomly selected winner of the Weaver Leather prize package! Read below to learn how she demonstrates DILIGENCE with her livestock projects.

Thank you to everyone who entered!

“I demonstrate diligence with all my projects. As a showman, I have been blessed with the ability to show many different species, but with raising and showing different species I have learned that training each animal causes different emotions both good and bad. I practice diligence when I think ahead and willingly choose the actions that will benefit my projects. I demonstrate diligence when I always do my best and strive for excellence in the ring and at home. I am diligent when I don’t procrastinate with the things I don’t want to do, but start my tasks promptly, working carefully and persistently until they are complete. When working with livestock I have used diligence to not procrastinate, step out of my comfort zone, and not be too distracted to spend time working with my projects. Raising projects through 4-H has added many positive things in my life: like friends, family bonding, responsibility, diligence, and reason or inspiration.”

Friday, August 9, 1901 – “The exhibition of livestock at the Missouri State Fair, to be held at Sedalia September 9-13, will be the finest aggregation of pure blood of all breeds ever seen in this state. Judging from the advice received from the breeders of Missouri and all of the adjoining states, there will be more cattle, horses, sheep and swine on exhibition than were ever shown at any State Fair in this country. A large number of Missouri breeders have made application for stalls and the capacity of the stock barns will be taxed to accommodate them.”

THE STORY BEHIND THE CHAMPION.

JULY/AUGUST 2015

BAYLOR BONHAM

NEW MEMBER

hall of fame

JULY/AUGUST 2015

Bonham. Baylor has a 22-year-old brother, Logan, who was also a very successful cattle showman. Baylor was born into a family where cattle and stock shows are a part of everyday life, which has developed a passion in him that will live forever. Baylor has been working since he was big enough to put on his boots and walk out the door on his own. He started going to the barn and “working” for his dad long before he was old enough to have his own show cattle. Baylor’s dad, Steve, owns and operates Bonham Show Cattle.

aylor Bonham is from Newcastle, Oklahoma. He is the soon-to-be 15-year-old son of Steve and Stacey

2014 NATIONAL WESTERN

Even though he was around cattle from birth, Baylor developed a love for horses. He wasn’t interested in watching TV like most kids, but he would watch the movie “Seabiscuit” over and over. He got a really kidfriendly quarter horse, named “Tom,” for his fourth birthday. He rode Tom as much as he could and even did

some riding at a local stable for a year or so. Baylor quickly got big enough to lead the show cattle by himself, and the interest in the horses took the back seat. He now had a new love, working with and leading his own show cattle. He absorbed all the information he could and quickly became knowledgeable about the stock show industry. Baylor still wasn’t old enough to compete in the big shows, but he was quick to tell his brother how to do everything. That didn’t always end well.

Baylor began his show career with great success. He won many banners, trophies and buckles in jackpots and prospect shows. His first 4-H/FFA show was the Tulsa State Fair, where he exhibited the Champion Chianina Market Steer. From there he has made several trips to the winner’s circle. He exhibited the Grand Champion Steer at the NAILE in Louisville in 2011

Baylor also loves to buy cows and is constantly talking to someone about partnering with him on a great cow he has found. He has a few deals working and would have a lot more if his parents would give him free reign of his own business decisions. Baylor’s parents also talk about how intrigued and captivated he has been by the display bulls in Denver at the National Western Stock Show. He had wanted to be a part of that since he was about five years old.

In 2015, he had the opportunity to live out his dream, as he is co-owner of an up-and-coming bull, Front and Center, owned with Phil Lautner. Being in Denver to display the bull and give his sales pitch over and over was a treasured opportunity but perhaps a little more difficult than he expected.

However, he is full speed ahead in promoting his bull. It would be safe to say that Baylor Bonham will definitely have a future that involves cattle and possibly pigs in some capacity.

On a more personal side, Baylor has a huge heart and an even bigger work ethic. He is such a kindhearted young man and is willing to help anyone who will let him. He doesn’t leave the barn when his chores are finished—he wants to stay and help with anything else that needs to be done. He doesn’t watch TV, play video games or pretty much anything else indoors. He prefers to be busy all the time, even if it’s called “work.” He enjoys playing golf and is spending time this summer trying to improve his game. Even as a lefty, he is getting pretty good at it.

Recognized as a young leader in the community, Baylor is an honor roll student and just completed middle school as student council president.

He attends the First Baptist Church in Newcastle and is part of their Youth group. Baylor is a Christian and strives to be a good servant for the Lord. Baylor’s mom, Stacey, has always stressed the commitment to family and friends and spending time with them on holidays and special occasions. Baylor says it all works out well when they just go to the shows with him, and that way everybody is happy. You can expect to continue to hear and read good things about Baylor Bonham. He will be in the show ring every chance he gets, and when those days are over, you will still see him active in the industry. ▪

361 THE SHOWTIMES

Baylor has now decided to also try his hand at showing pigs.

It took him a long time to talk his dad into this new endeavor and to work out the details. But if you know Baylor at all, you know that one of his strong suits is being a man of persistence and persuasion. He started out with a couple of barrows for the 2014 Tulsa State Fair and did quite well, qualifying for the premium sale as a first-time pig showman. He talked his way into getting more pigs and trying again. He works so hard at everything he does that he is determined to educate himself and become more knowledgeable in the show pig arena.

At Oklahoma Youth Expo in March 2015, he exhibited the lightweight Crossbred division champion barrow, which also qualified him for the Sale of Champions. He recently attended the World Pork Expo in Iowa in June and

exhibited the lightweight Yorkshire division champion barrow, which went on to be named third overall York. Baylor is not sure what the future holds for him in the show pig arena, but he is giving it all he has for now.

JULY/AUGUST 2015

followed by the Grand Champion Steer at the National Western in Denver in 2012 and the Grand Champion Steer at the American Royal in Kansas City in 2012. He had Grand Champion Market Steer at the Tulsa State Fair in 2013 followed

by Reserve Grand Steer in Louisville that year and even won the National Western Market Steer Show a second time, in 2014. Baylor is also very dedicated to perfecting his clipping and fitting skills. After all, he has the best mentor a guy could want, his uncle Travis Otterstad.

inning once could be considered luck. Twice, a run of having the right calves under the right judges. When Bailey Buck of Madill, Oklahoma ended her showing career with nine National titles under her belt (seven of which were Grand Champions), it was clear that she was the common denominator. Bailey’s mom Brenda reflected on Bailey’s first National Jr. Maine-Anjou Show, “She was six and showing her steer “Scooby.” I was sitting in the stands videotaping the show. She spotted me, dropped her show stick and waved proudly at the camera!”

From then on, Bailey has made her home in the show ring.

Just 15 years later, Bailey would exit her last Junior National show ring in Grand Island, Nebraska having just shown not only the Grand Champion Polled Female, but the Reserve Champion Horned Female at the 2015 Junior National Hereford Expo.

Bailey’s mark on the livestock industry, however, expands out farther than just the show ring. From serving as the President of the American Junior Maine-Anjou Association to being highly active in her family’s Purebred operation, Bailey’s life has revolved around agriculture. Even at Junior Nationals, she made a point to be more than just a showman. She participated in all the contest and was an overall sweepstakes winner. She found success in showmanship as well as team fitting competitions.

Showing livestock is more than a purple ribbon. Bailey Buck is a prime example of a young adult who has taken advantage of all of the opportunities provided to you through showing and raising livestock. ▪stor First Assembly of God Church 1660 Findlay Road

WHAT IS THAT IN YOUR HAND? PASTOR RANDY DAVIS TALKS ABOUT KEEPING IT ALL IN PERSPECTIVE.

BY PASTOR RANDY DAVIS, LIMA, OH

HOW WE MET RANDY We met Randy Davis when we visited Lima, Ohio for Maine Junior Nationals back in 2012. He is the Winegardner family's pastor. They had asked him to give a sermon during the show.

We were greatly impressed with Randy. Since then, we have listened to his sermons in our office from time to time. When Brad Winegardner came out to Colorado to judge our show we visited about having Randy write a message for our upcoming issues. We hope you enjoy his message!

T

his is the question that God asked Moses in Exodus 4:2. Moses answered, “a staff.” With God’s help that same staff became a snake and then turned back into a staff. We live in a day and time that we need to ask ourselves the same question, “What is that in your hand?”

If you are reading this article you are in some way involved in showing cattle or the business surrounding it. Have you thought about the real bottom line of showing cattle? For the most part there are children involved. These children are learning a work ethic through caring for these big animals and their farms. Children are our greatest resource. This cattle business is not about cattle at all, but rather it is about our children and building bridges into their lives through a common interest. It is about spending time with your family and making memories that will last a lifetime.

Due to high level of competition and money

So, when is the last time you took a good hard look at your show business and considered what really matters? Maybe you need to remember how it all started for your family.

Remember when things were much simpler and less stressful? When any ribbon was a good ribbon? When any recognition was a compliment to the family’s hard work and to win was a bonus?

If we get this right and keep first things first, we will reap a harvest through our children that we can all be very proud of. We are giving each of them the opportunity to be a blue ribbon winner in life as well as in the show ring.

And before you think I am not competitive, I want to remind you that I work as an assistant coach in high school softball. I serve as a chaplain for a college team and a high school football team. I want them to win and work to help them to do it. But at the end of the day there is a whole lot more to it than winning the game or being the best of show. Our daughter is also in her last year of showing horses in 4-H and last year she had 5 ribbons from her 5 events. I care about winning, but I care about my daughter a whole lot more.

The Bible says in Haggai 1:5 “Now this is what the LORD Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways.” We could stop there and use this scripture to take a good hard look at our lives and how we are doing things. Give careful thought to your cattle show ways. How are you doing? If you are not careful you will do and do and never be satisfied. You can get it all out of focus and be worried about the wrong things and forget about the best part; our children. Some would say that because I am not in the cattle show business, that I just don’t get it. To that I reply, the same principles apply no matter what it is we do to invest in our children. I see people with life out of perspective with their children and athletics all the time.

We forget what sports and teamwork are really all about and focus too much on winning and what our children get out of it.

Do you have a reasonable view of your goals and plans for your family? Can you keep it in perspective when things don’t go as planned? Some of the big benefits from this whole process of showing cattle is to teach our children about adversity and to be flexible no matter what. How are you doing at keeping it all in perspective? Ask your spouse or children how you are doing? You may be surprised.

Some of my fondest memories growing up were helping my dad raise cattle. No we didn’t show them, but we did sell them to show people on occasion. It was being together and his attitude about it all that made it fun. My dad was the most fun to be around when we were working with cattle. Could that be said of you?

The next time you are in the barn or show ring, take a good hard look at what is in your hand and your child or children that God gave you. Don’t just see their show ability, look at your child, they won’t be there showing forever. Make sure they are having fun and learning life’s lessons from you. The investment you are making is worth all the sacrifices and hard work. Just keep it all in perspective.

What is that in your hand? Handle them with prayer and care. ▪

Randy Davis Lead Pastor First Assembly of God Church 1660 Findlay Road Lima, OH 45801 randy@limafirst.church limafirst.chu

427 THE SHOWTIMES

If not, then the next part of this scripture may apply to you from Haggai chapter 1:6-7 “You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.” This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways”. This speaks of people who cannot be satisfied no matter how good things may be. Be careful not to forget the real bottom line of showing cattle: teaching a work ethic, making memories and spending time with our families.

JULY/AUGUST 2015

involved surrounding this business it can be hard to remember what is really important about this whole process. It can be difficult to keep a proper perspective when you have thousands of dollars invested in an animal and winning is needed to gain back some of your investment. Many of you reading this have your whole life invested in this process and depend on your show earnings and notoriety gained to continue to grow your business and income. With so much riding on this process it could be easy to forget what is in your hand and get overcome by the pressure created from it all.

1:00AM in Chicago

FLIGHTS DELAYED AND CANCLED IN ST.LOUIS AND CHICAGO.

Showtimes East The Humphrey Family, IL Showtimes South Mason and Whitney Walker, AR

BY BRIAN J. REID, CO

arlier this summer we had an eventful night in Chicago. It started after we left the show in Springfield, Illinois. We were at Maine/ Chi Junior Nationals covering the show. We had driven almost two hours to barely make it to the St. Louis airport in time for our flight. After going through security and finding our gate, we noticed the weather outside quickly went from a peaceful night, to dark storm clouds. We knew at that point we were in for an interesting night.

After watching our flight get delayed from 8:30PM, to 9:30PM, to 10:30PM we were nervous if we would get out of St. Louis. Plus, if our flight did make it out, would there be bad turbulence and would if be safe? Brian Fox of Blind Badger Ranch arrived at our gate and let us know that our flight was canceled.

We quickly got in line and found out there was a 10:50PM flight on United

that left in around 45 minutes in another terminal. We ran through the airport like Home Alone, grabbed our bags and found a bus to the other terminal.

After making our way through a down pour and lightning storm, we arrived at the United gate. A short time later we learned that our United flight was delayed to 1:30AM, then 2:30AM, then finally canceled. At that time the Chicago Cubs plane had landed and was headed back to Chicago empty. Luckily for us, they let us fly to Chicago on their plane. We then spent five hours talking with Brian and the Carlson family from Colorado in an empty Chicago Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hare airport. After exploring their airport, finding a Starbucks for Lisa, and sleeping on the hard floor, we finally headed home on our 5:30AM flight.

We landed in Denver Friday morning.

We had just enough time to make it back to the office to finish Hereford videos. We got up early Saturday morning and made it to Grand Island!
