MARCH/APRIL 2014 THE SHOWTIMES 15

from the editor

SUCCESS Dream big.

W

hile having dinner with a friend during Denver, he asked me a question that has had me thinking ever since. “How do you define success?” Naturally, being involved in the livestock industry, a lot has happened since January shows, work on sale and sire catalogs, design work and putting together this Sire Edition of the magazine. While the world kept turning, however, that question kept reappearing in my thoughts. “What is success?”

In relation to the livestock industry, success can be a number of things, depending on who you ask.

Representing a successful ag-based company. Winning a state, regional, or national show. Being respected as a top producer. Success, when viewed from the world’s perspective, on the other hand, can be defined as the attainment of wealth or fame. On a personal level, a successful person may be one who is right with God and satisfied with how they have fulfilled their expectations of themselves.

No matter how you define “success”, there are multiple individuals highlighted throughout this issue of The Showtimes that can and should be listed as “successful.” Whether

they are an advertiser in the index, exhibitor in the show results, feature in an article, or person pictured.

When I was thinking about writing this Editor’s Note, I thought I would tie success into our new Hall of Fame inductees featured on pages 54 and 60. The impact that these individuals have had on the livestock industry and everyone around them is inspiring. As the pages began to fill up with articles and advertisements, however, I realized that the buck did not stop there so to speak. I am incredibly humbled to be a part of an industry that gives people a platform to impact the world and make dreams a reality.

Whether realizing it or not, we all strive to be successful. What’s equally as important as any success we might obtain, however, is what we do with it. John Maxwell, a highly respected man, once said, “We are to be a river, not a reservoir.” With that being said, take a moment and define what “success” means to you. Then work hard and dream big to use what God gives you to be a reservoir and impact others around you.

MARK & DEB CORE Making an impact.

BY MARK & DEB CORE

MARK Mark was born and raised in Pleasantville, Iowa on a small diversified farm with its roots in Hereford cattle and Yorkshire hogs. Although financial resources were limited, his parents did what they could to support showing steers, heifers and pigs on a limited basis. Although he never had the opportunity to win big, it was these humbling experiences that instilled the love of animal agriculture and the desire to compete.

Upon high school graduation he looked toward college life. Marks older brother Phil had always influenced him greatly, and he decided to follow in his brothers footsteps and he attended Iowa State University and joined the Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity.

54 THE SHOWTIMES MARCH/APRIL 2014

These were decisions that would shape his future. The Fraternity brought him friendships that would help him make it through the unexpected and early death of his father during his sophomore year. Iowa State brought him the opportunity to not only gain the valuable life lessons that come from a judging program but most importantly provided him a mentor in coach Dr. Chris Skaags.

Under Dr. Skaggs direction, the team won the National Championship in 1986. Mark often reflects on that year and the fact that the first big contest , “Denver” was only the fourth judging contest he had ever participated in – EVER! Upon graduation from ISU, Mark started a dream job with Syntex

Animal Health in their sales territory division. Not only was this a great career opportunity, the location was perfect as his mother was in failing health and he and his brother Phil were focused on her and trying so save the family farm. As Mark was advancing in the corporate world at Syntex and working with his brother to build a nationally competitive MaineAnjou program, along come a Minnesota gal by the name of Deb Stade.

Mark has been blessed with the opportunity to work for Vermeer Corporation, a 65 year old family owned Global company less than a thirty minute commute from Core Farms. He has held numerous roles in his eighteen years at the company and currently

serves on the Senior Leadership team as Vice-President and Chief Marketing Officer. Although the chase to attain company metrics is fun and challenging, his real joy associated with work comes from “providing opportunities for others”. He loves nothing more than to identify “Rock

star” talent and recruit them into the organization. Many of these current employees have a strong background in animal agricultural.

DEB Deb grew up in Jackson, a small agricultural community in southwest Minnesota. It was

there, on her parents grain and cattle feeding operation, that she found her passion for livestock.

Along with her two sisters and one brother, Deb grew up walking beans, picking rocks and doing 4-H chores. Jackson County had one of the most intense and successful 4-H livestock judging MARCH/APRIL 2014 THE SHOWTIMES 55

programs in the entire country.

The influence of that program, under the direction of Ron Harder, helped shape many of the decisions she would make for her future.

She recalls that her 4-H team often traveled with the South Dakota State University Collegiate Judging team coached by Dr. Dan Gee. It was because of those contacts that she decided as a seventh grader she would attend South Dakota State, major in Animal Science and be on the livestock judging team. She never looked back and graduated with her degree from SDSU in 1982. Being a member of the Livestock Judging Team was, without question, the most impactful decision she ever made.

Being a competitive person by nature, having a passion for livestock and being shaped by incredible mentors like her father Calvin Stade and coaches Harder and Gee, allowed her to develop character qualities that would shape her future.

After working in the livestock industry for 5 years she made the decision to go back to college and get her masters degree from Colorado State University. While there, she assisted Dr. Clint Rusk with the livestock judging team and completed her masters program in 1988 under the direction of Dr. Robert Taylor and Tom Fields.

It was soon after that she found herself in Platte City, Missouri at the American Chianina Association working for Terry Atchison. Over the years Deb had spent a great deal of time working with a close friend, Barb Ohlrichs, fitting on several Chianina 56 THE SHOWTIMES MARCH/APRIL 2014

breeders show cattle strings. It was these contacts that led her to her work as a communications director for the association.

In 1990, Debs career led her to being selected as the Executive Director of the Iowa Beef Expo, a job she held and loved for 9 years.

It was during the beginning of that career that she would meet Mark. They started dating in the fall of 1991, became engaged four months later and married

by September of 1992. Although she loved her job, eventually her responsibilities as a full time mother to two beautiful daughters, and managing the day to day responsibilities of their purebred cattle operation were more than full time and she decided it was time to prioritize. The kids and cows weren’t going anywhere, so it was time to give up the Expo.

This was not a easy decision for a Masters educated highly driven person, but was the pivotal point of child and cattle operation development for the Cores’. It was a decision she never regretted. In a blink those two little girls, Bailey and Kennedy have grown up to be a sophomore in college and junior in high school.

CATTLE Core Farms, a partnership between the two Core brothers continued to grow to the point of National Maine-Anjou breeder of the year in 1996. Exhibiting one National Champion and producing one in the Maine breed and one in the Chianina breed were certainly highlights. Just as Phil had blazed a trail for Mark in the early years, now Phil’s daughters Lindsey and Morgan were doing the same for

Bailey and Kennedy. They were both heavily involved in the barn, in the pasture, in school and on the Maine-Anjou National Junior board. Over time the cow herd transitioned into one of multiple breeds. This being primarily the result of the girls showing “other” breeds so that they weren’t competing against customers.

BAILEY AND KENNEDY Over the years, many people have asked us, how did you get Bailey and Kennedy to get so “hooked” on showing at such a young age?

Their older cousins Morgan and Lindsey were instrumental in making that happen. Role models are wonderful things particularly when they were as exceptional young women like their cousins.

Because I stayed home and took care of the farm, the girls had no choice but to be part of all aspects of the farm. From sitting in their car seats as infants while we helped the vet do a c-section, to riding on the Kubota with me to check pastures, they did it all. I’ll never forget riding down the road one day in the pick-up and all of a sudden Bailey points to a pasture of cows and yells “Hey Mom, look, standing heat!” Then of course there was the time she went to school and explained to the kindergarten teacher how daddy breeds cows. Both the girls were the resident “cow experts” in their elementary classes.

As time has a way of doing, the girls just developed the passion and work ethic that is such an important element of being involved with show cattle. Of course, it made a huge difference to have a mom that loved the business

hall of fame

as well. At our house Dad had to go to his job at Vermeer every day so it was just us girls to be in charge of the show barn. It has been the worlds best opportunity to stay connected with each other and be such an important part of each others lives. We couldn’t have shown as hard or as successfully as we have if it wasn’t a team effort.

We need all of us to contribute if it is going to happen.

Bailey made the decision as a sophomore in high school to quit sports and focus all her energy onto our cattle operation. She has been an incredibly important part of the day-to-day management of our show cattle. She can manage every aspect of the show barn and farm if we need her to. Sometimes we worry we have put too much responsibility on her shoulders, but she can handle it. Of course

there is nothing she enjoys more than showing a good one. She lives, breathes and eats that world.

About two years ago she started dating a wonderful young man named Jared Boyert, who was working for Cates Shorthorns at the time and is currently teaching and coaching at Black Hawk Junior College. He too is passionate about showing great livestock and it is so much fun watching them find their place in this business. There is no doubt in my mind they have the drive and passion to be successful.

Mark and I aren’t sure if we have the energy to keep up with them.

Bailey is currently a sophomore at Iowa State University majoring in Agriculture Communications and Animal Science.

Kennedy has always pulled a double duty in that she is an excellent athlete as well as being as

talented as her sister in the show ring. She has had to figure out how to balance the extra effort and time it takes to be an exceptional basketball and volleyball player, as well as fulfill her love of showing livestock. Kennedy has played a high level of AAU basketball since 5th grade and recently just scored her 1000th career point in high school ball, doing it in her junior year. As her Mom, I love sitting in a gym and watching her play basketball every bit as much as I love watching her show. As a parent, all you ever want is to see yours kids find a passion for which they are willing to sacrifice, and see the rewards for their efforts.

Kennedy amazes me sometimes on how she fits it all in. Along with sports, she is a straight A student, a student leader in every organization she is in, and finds time to be a great friend to others.

JUDGING Judging shows is a true love for both Mark and Deb. Between the two of them they have Denver, Louisville, Houston Steers and Heifers, Fort Worth Steers, San Antonio Heifers, Tulsa, numerous State Fairs and National Junior Heifer shows on their resume.

With an already overtasked home life, doing these judging events can sometimes add an incredible amount of complexity in their lives, but the opportunity to see great stock and meet families from around the country is truly a blessing. We respect the honor and see it as a privilege to be asked. In the last couple years, it has been fun to get the calls from show management that ask will either one of you or both of you come judge our show. Doing them together is something they look forward to in the future. ▪

“Don’t be afraid of competition, just be prepared for it.”

MARK’S LIFE TIPS I’m a big believer that anyone, yes I mean ANYONE, can be successful in the agriculture industry. When I was trying to show as a high school kid, we did not own a truck and trailer so I was only able to go to a show when we could borrow one from a friend. I say this some times before I select a champion at a show, but I am always afraid that those that need to hear it have already loaded up and went home. “The best I ever did at the Iowa State Fair was seventh in class.

As I get older, I can see that many times the ones that really make an impact in the industry are those that had to work their tail off and be an entrepreneur, just to be third in class. I often think of folks like Wade Rodgers who today everyone knows as a dominant player in the show cattle industry. Most don’t realize that it didn’t come without work and sacrifice. The Bob Mays, Goretzkas, Jirl Bucks, and Wade Rodgers of this industry make it look relatively easy today, but they weren’t “born” into it, they simply made it happen with hard work! God made each of us different, and yes some may have unique skills, but fortunately the most important trait to success depends entirely on ones mindset - WORK ETHIC.

DEB’S LIFE TIPS I thank our good Lord almost every day that he gave Mark and I this cattle business way of life as a tool to raise our daughters. Mark and I discuss every now and then how we would have more money in the bank and more time on our hands if we hadn’t chosen this path. I think as a parent there are two things that are important for you to do for your child. First help them find their passion. I don’t care if it’s needlepoint.

If that is their passion find whatever avenues you can to support them. Give me a kid with passion over one with just talent and no passion any day of the week.

The second thing you need to do for your child is to teach them to be a competitor. At our house the sign on our cooler reads “Don’t be afraid of competition just be prepared for it.” Being a competitor doesn’t mean your goal is to beat everyone everytime. In fact, I never go to a show with a goal to beat a particular person. To me it means if I have done everything within my means to select to the best of my ability, if we have made wise financial decisions along the way, if we have done every bit of my homework we have to do to be ready, if we have fed to the best of our knowledge, if we get one fit and shown to the best of our ability then we are a competitor, and most importantly we have to do all this with integrity and character. Mark and I decided a long time ago we would never make a decision in order to win that would put our daughters in a compromised position.

If you can’t look your own child in the eye and know you have been honest in all that you have done in order to achieve your goal reaching that goal just wouldn’t mean a thing. Finally, a competitor has to accept that when they walk into that showring, the last 5% of the equation is out of your control. There is always going to be that person standing in the center of the ring who has the final call. That doesn’t mean he is always right but it is his job to complete the circle.

She’s constantly behind the scenes making sure the show runs smoothly. No matter what comes up she’s always willing with a smile and good attitude giving 500% and then some. Mom goes beyond the call of duty sacrificing her own needs and wants to make sure we are taken care of first. Thank you Mom!

GIB YARDLEY Cattle Rancher

BY JEANNIE YARDLEY GRISWOLD AND FAMILY

ilbert T. Yardley has a life that is rich in history and friendships; many formed from within the cattle industry; acquaintances’ that make a life complete and full. Gib was honored in 2006 at the 100th Anniversary of the National Western Stock Show in Denver, CO. He has shown at Denver for over 34 years and has attended for over 64 years. He spent his life pursuing the lifelong dream of raising good cattle. For many years he traveled throughout the United States with feeder pens and show calves. The Cow Palace in San Francisco, American Royal in Kansas City, Pacific International Show in Portland, OR, and the North American Livestock Show in Louisville have all housed Yardley Cattle throughout the years. There had never been a heifer pen show at Denver before, but there wasn’t any rule in the premium book that stated you couldn’t take heifers to compete against the steers. Gib took the first pen of heifers ever shown in Denver, and next year Denver had a heifer pen show! He had steers that won every major show and for many years dad traveled everyplace in the country to watch them show.

Eventually though, time caught up and he realized he had better start raising a family.

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle. But you shall be a miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God. Not in doing what you like but in liking what you do is the secret of happiness.

My granddad Yardley was in Partners with his two brothers, and they were always in the cattle business.

One brother, Uncle Al, would take a herd of steers and cows and drive them to winter range down on the Arizona strip. He would take a pack horse and potatoes and salt bacon and live in a tent out there with them all winter. In the spring of 1908, he was coming home from Arizona, and when he got to the northern end of Long Valley, he took the wrong canyon and ended up in the head of Asay Creek. He said this was the most beautiful spot that he has ever seen in his life. It was a beautiful mountain meadow valley with some big springs and the most beautiful streams in the world. He saw a man there that owned it, and he said he wanted to sell it, so he came home and got my granddad and they went back and bought it for 5,000 dollars. This has forever changed our lives.

They then acquired one of the first forest permits on the Dixie National Forest, running 500 head there, which joined the ranch. It is 70 miles from Asay Creek

62 THE SHOWTIMES MARCH/APRIL 2014

to Beaver, and they always drove those cattle back and forth on horseback, taking about three and a half days, until the late 1940’s, when we started trucking them.

In 1920, Granddad went back to Kansas and brought the first Hereford cattle to this area. Again in 1939 and 40’, they went to Colorado and bought replacement heifers from the old master Hereford breeder of the United States, Fred DeBerard of Kremmling, CO. Then we bought registered Herefords, both bulls and heifers, from many other top breeders of the country.

We had as good of Hereford as there were in the West.

About 35 years ago, we started cross breeding some of them with Angus, and then when they brought the first Simmentals to Canada, I went up to see them and the Maine Anjou, started breeding them, and the rest is history.

Until I was 18 years old, my dad was in partnership

with his brothers, Ike and Roy. We would start haying the 20th of June, and haul hay six days a week until the middle of September. We were cutting, raking and hauling all at the same time, using eight to ten teams of horses.

When my dad and his brothers divided up, I worked with dad until he died. I was so busy breeding good cattle that I didn’t get married and start raising kids until I was older in life. I met Denise, who was raised in Coalville, Utah, and we got married on April 18, 1981. I never thought that I could love anything as much as my wife and my children. I was the eldest and only boy in my own family. I have five lovely sisters that all graduated from college and were all school teachers, and all but one of them lives along the Wasatch front of Utah, and the other in Omaha.

I was always active in 4-H and FFA, and started showing cattle then, and have enjoyed it ever since. I always believed in doing my very best at everything I ever did. In fact, my Uncle Roy called me a perfectionist. So I have always tried to raise the very best cattle possible. I have always liked to have the best corrals and fences, gates and improvements, so that everything is convenient and handy. I have always loved good, fancy colored horses, and I got my first paint mare when I was 14 years old, and I have had that same family of horses ever since. They are just like part of our family. We do everything we can on horseback, and spend many long hours in the saddle. Quite a few years ago, we bought two winter range allotments 40 miles west of Beaver, and we winter most of our older cows out there without feeding hay.

They have to calve on their own and do it all.

They have to have natural fleshing ability to take it.

We have gotten rid of the

cows that haven’t done well out there. We have Indian Rice Grass and some native desert browse plants that are wonderful feed. Since then we have been scattered out for 100 miles between winter and summer ranges.

We spend half of our time coming and the other half going. I started artificial breeding in 1968, and have done more of this than anyone else in our state. One year, we bred over 600 head, I have always tried to buy the best bulls I could find in the nation, besides raising some very fancy herd sires.

In closing, I would like to leave you with the words of the greatest president the United States ever hadthe immortal Abe Lincoln: “You cannot bring about prosperity by destroying thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.” ▪

GROWING UP WITH GIB YARDLEY

At his 81st birthday, Gib Yardley’s children share how their dad influenced their life.

JEANNIE YARDLEY GRISWOLD

Dad’s love for the cattle business is one that runs generations deep. Stewardship over the land, cattle, and family is something that he takes deep pride in. all of his children can attest to the fact that all we know about cattle was learned from our father.

Our lessons in honesty, hard work, and a strong love of God and Country came from this pillar of a man as we rode with him through the valleys and mountains we call home. Dad has a wealth of information. The older I get, the wiser I realize he is. He understands everything from water rights to pedigrees.

He remembers names, places, numbers, and facts. My most cherished memories are sitting next to dad in the breeding barn going through pedigree’s and lining up cows to be bred. Every one of these cows comes with his inspection, and lining them up how he thinks they’ll work. he loves this business, the people, the cattle, the land. It’s a love he learned from his father, and his father before. We are proud to carry on this legacy.

If there is one person I hate buying bulls for it would be Dad, he is the worlds pickiest bull buyer. He has a long list of expectations, I’m sure all of us kids could tell them to you

64 THE SHOWTIMES MARCH/APRIL 2014

without hesitation. Low bw, plenty of bone, power, tight sheath, plenty of growth, square topped, good behind the shoulders, good fronted, make sure they don’t have a high tail head. All four feet have to point the same way, he hates a bull that toes out. He wants one that walks wide and fills in his step, with eye appeal. All of us kids at one time or another have felt the dread of waiting for a bull to get off the truck and see if dad likes it. That’s why he has good cattle, he’s always held those kind of expectations and his female base shows it.

Dad really is a kind of legend in the cow business. He showed feeder calves with Tim Ohlde in Bakersfield. Kirk Stierwalt clipped for him, heck if it wasn’t for Dad I would have never met John. Dad and Cal Herring penned next to each other with feeder calves every year in Denver, John helped Cal all the time.

Dad told him one time that without a family you haven’t got anything. I doubt dad ever dreamed that John would marry his daughter! Dad won every major show in the Nation but when all of us kids started to be born Dad slowed down a lot.

Happy Birthday Dad!

“Gilberts 1st Business Transaction” was discovered in Gib’s baby book.

Written by his mother, Melba Yardley.

he following is as told by our Grandmother and dad’s Mom, Melba thuerer Yardley. all of us kids are forever grateful that dad decided to raise cattle instead of sheep but here is a near run in with fate. “In the winter of 1946 on Saturday the 12th of January an important event took place. Gilbert had a good ewe sheep he had got a year or two before from Jake tanner. on this cold winter morning after going out to do chores, he came running back to the house, saying that he had a new baby lamb. he came in a few minutes later and announced twins! after he had had eaten his breakfast he went out again, and in a while returned once more, this time with the announcement that the old ewe had just given birth to her third one! triplets! What next? oh, all the worries we had over those triplets. on Monday when they were just two days old, Gilbert came home from school for lunch and could only find two of them. He was almost in tears. His Mother went out with him to look around the corral to find the third one. There it was, fallen in the snow behind the barn, shivering with cold. they took the poor little thing in the house and rubbed it with rags and old blankets, and tried to get it to take some warn mmilk. finally when Gilbert’s father came home he succeeded in getting the little thing to get some sucking action, and it was saved. the weather became stormy and so he had to bring the little black rascals in the house at night. he put them in a big paste board box in his room upstairs and them took them out to the mother in the morning. two or three times in the middle of the night, the family would be awakened by little footsteps and bleating, and twice they fell down the stairs. It didn’t seem to hurt them in the least.

In the spring of 1946, when Gilbert was thirteen years of age, he went into business for himself. S. Taylor Farnsworth had a little flock of about thirty sheep which he wanted to get rid of. Gilbert had had a few of those sheep for several years, and he had been eyeing those of farnsworth’s. he had talked to brother farnsworth about them. one day when he came home from school for lunch, he said to his parents, “You know, I’ve got a chance to make some good money if I just had enough to make an investment.” on inquiry from his father he replied that he would surely like to buy that herd of sheep from farnsworth’s. of course his folks were not much in favor of having sheep—most cattlemen aren’t. his father talked to him for a few minutes, and then said, “Well, go and talk to Sam hickman at the bank, and maybe he will loan you the money”. his thought was that surly they wouldn’t consider letting a thirteen year old boy borrow $170.00, and that that would be the end of it. he thought perhaps the sheep would be sold in a few days to someone else. but to the surprise of his parents, when school was out that day, here came Gilbert with the note, saying that all they asked was that his father sigh it with him. for weeks Gilbert talked of camping out with his herd of sheep. he borrowed an old sheep wagon from brul ashworth and made his plans. he was quite out of patience with his parents at the delay in getting ready. of course his Mother wasn’t very anxious for him to go alone, but he was determined. finally on a thursday she said, “I’ll help you get your grub box ready, and your bedding and such, and you can go tomorrow morning and come home Saturday night. then you will be here for church and you can see what you need and go back again on Monday.”

“Just two days! that would be some thing. It wouldn’t be worth it to go for two days.” he was very indignant at the idea.

But finally he agreed to go for two days and then go again next week. Gilbert and his Mother worked for hours that night getting everything arranged in the sheep wagon. he was up the next morning long before day light to start out. he took the “herd” and started them up South Creek, and them came back for the wagon about nine o’clock. by late afternoon his Mother was wishing she could go and look in on him before night fall. but that wasn’t necessary. about six o’clock the tinkle of sheep bells was heard. Somebody ran to the door and cried, “here comes Gilbert!” and sure enough here he came and all the herd with him. he said it was just too lonesome all alone.

Gilbert’s business ability was demonstrated when shearing time came. he contacted every neighbor who had a few sheep and got them to let him pool all the wool and consigned it so they could get a better price. It was quite a business deal for a young boy to handle. his interest in beef cattle soon overcame his love for sheep, and he sold all of his sheep and put the money from them into beef. about 1950 he and his father went to Yampa, Colorado, where they bought about thirty head of registered herefords from John reagor”

hall of fame ANGELA YARDLEY

With a household of girls dad always had to be reminding us “those cows don’t care if your eyelashes are painted.” This didn’t seem to help though, considering the fact we were, and still are, always late or in a rush no matter where we were going. Whether it be to church or going to move cows there is dad’s favorite sentence being echoed throughout the house, “hurry, Hurry, HURRY!” and by the time we got out the door he was more than a little flustered. But he always seemed to beam right up, especially at stock shows, when he would walk in someplace with all of us girls primped up and lined up beside him. In fact, I have never seen someone so happy to be compared to a bull as my dad when someone told him, “You’re like Meyer 734. You may be old, but you sure know how to throw a lineup of daughters.”

Girls or not, Dad made sure of one thing, that we all knew how to work. No matter what time of night it was, where we were going or what we were wearing, if something was in trouble, time didn’t matter. Many nights we would go out in our pajamas and come back in covered in head to toe with mud carrying a calf into the bath tub to try and warm it up and get fluids down it. We may not know how to cook (in fact, staying at the house and learning how to become domesticated was a punishment.) but we all know how to pull a calf, ride a horse and grease a tractor.

My dad has always said, “ don’t let school get in the way of your education,” and although we missed a lot of school, it will never compare to what my dad has taught us—to enjoy working, to the love the land and the cattle, and be good stewardships over both. I love you dad. Thanks for all the memories and many more to come.

LORI ANN YARDLEY HOFFMAN

Our lives growing up didn’t consist of big elaborate vacations, electronic devices for entertainment. We seldom went to the movies or out to dinner.

In the summer my friends quit calling because it was seldom that I could go “hang out.” We worked. We knew we were a part of something important. It was on those long summer days that we became each others best friends and confidents. If dad hadn’t taken us with him we never would have learned to love the things he did. We went on cattle drives together, changed water, got lost, learned various plant species, checked fences, spent the night in dirty clothes because we were too tired to care, and we talked and laughed and pestered and we learned to love each other. Dad took us with him wherever he went and it wasn’t Disneyland! We traveled all over to stock shows, and ranches looking at pretty country, cattle, and horses. Our vacations usually consisted of miles and miles of driving all piled on top of each other in a suburban with a broken radio. Mom and Dad would tell us stories. We stayed in one motel room and dad woke up by six or earlier every morning to get us going. You would think we would all want to kill each other by the time it was over, but these are some of our most cherished memories. Dad could have easily left us home and many times I’m sure it would have made his life easier. Instead, he made sure that he was a part of our lives.

When we were little he would take us to change water with him on the back of a horse, see the baby calves, and feed cows off the back of the truck.

As we got older we were given more responsibilities. We often rode on the mountain by ourselves and we nearly always went to stock shows by ourselves. We learned that we could do hard things. We gained confidence in ourselves. One of the most valuable lessons dad taught was when I was 13 and got caught in a lie he could have yelled at me and grounded me, instead he told me, “It’s more important to be trusted than it is to be loved.” Those words have stuck with me my entire life and went a lot further than if he had yelled at me. Dad has earned many awards and won many shows and while he is proud of those things he always lets us know that we are his greatest accomplishment.

Thanks dad I love you.

JULIE YARDLEY FINLINSON EMILY YARDLEY

My Dad is one of the strongest men I know. Growing up there were many days keeping up with him was a task in itself. From sun up to dark he worked improving the heritage passed down to him from generations and building a legacy to continue on for years. He instilled in all of his children a love for the land and cattle giving us an appreciation for all of God’s creations. Going out looking and working the cattle with dad you can always see a twinkle in his eyes and a sense of pride as he watched a new calf be born in the spring and cross the scales in the fall. If there was one thing I hope I gained from Dad it would be the compassion he showed for a sick calf, his rough calloused hands became soft and tender as he cared for them, he always says, “Where there is life there is hope.” Thank you Dad for giving me a life that most people always dream of!

66 THE SHOWTIMES MARCH/APRIL 2014

When I was six I was helping get the cows in the chute for vaccinations. Dad had the shot needle. We both turned at the same time and the needle went into my palm. I guess that’s why I’ve stayed healthy! I believe I was the first in the family to damage a car. However when Dad found out he would ask if we were alright, for you can replace a vehicle and objects but you can’t replace a human being.

An attribute I greatly admire about Dad is how hard he works. He’s always been a hard worker; even on vacations he’d start making phone calls by 6:00 am. Dad always enjoyed our vacations, probably because they were mostly to go see cows, because Dad hates lines, crowds, water (except irrigation water!), and Disneyland. I guess the only place left to go was to see cows!

MICHELLE YARDLEY SMITH STEVEN YARDLEY

It is a privilege for me to write about one of the most influential men in my life, Gib Yardley, my dad. Dad has always been passionate about life and about his work.

His favorite saying is, “Hurry, hurry, hurry; work, work, work!” and he lives by it!

Even at 81 he is hard to keep up with. He is usually up by 5:30 a.m. or 6:00 a.m. and works strong until 9:00 p.m. or 10:00 p.m. at night. He says he has had to slow down a little in the past few years, if this is true I am glad I didn’t have to try to keep up with him when he was going full speed!

Dad was so busy working and chasing cows that he didn’t take the time to get married.

It wasn’t until a cow chased him back, right into a hospital bed, that he decided it would be more fun to get chased by a lady!

It was there on that hospital bed that he proposed to my mom. He was so broken and banged up that she couldn’t even give him a hug, because with his broken ribs it hurt too much. After getting married dad had to make up for lost time, and that he did, raising seven girls and me.

I am so grateful to my dad for teaching me countless lessons as I have went through life. I am also very grateful for his example, for the legacy he has left for us, and for the opportunity I have of calling such a wonderful man my dad.

Growing up Dad always tried to teach frugality. “Waste not, want not” was a saying we heard almost as much as “hurry, hurry, hurry.” He would say “Every penny counts,” but I think he forgot this when the new dollar store opened in Beaver.

He couldn’t believe everything was only $1 and came home with sacks of “good bargains” he had found. I think all of the bags put together weren’t worth $1. We had jam from places we still can’t pronounce, stale crackers, and flashlights that worked only long enough for Dad to be changing water at 2:00am in the middle of a field and then die. This still hasn’t stopped his itch for finding the best bargain though! After I got married I remember being shocked that you could get 10 hangers for $1 and ketchup was so cheap. There was ALWAYS a shortage of hangers at our house & I can’t tell you how many times I watched the ketchup bottle drain to the new one! Although we may have had a shortage of hangers, we never had a shortage of love. Dad’s example has been unwavering, constant and true. He’s a man of integrity, and faith who loves God, his family, his country, and this wonderful way of life. I’m so blessed to call you Dad. Happy Birthday Dad! Love, Michelle

TAWNYA YARDLEY TELCHERT

Some of my happiest days with dad have been spent riding horses on the mountain or at Asay Creek looking for and pushing cows. On these days he’s not stressed, but laughs easily and wholeheartedly. They’re usually long hard days of work, but they always end with Dad buying us a milkshake from Henries- Strawberry flavor extra thick is his favorite and the only kind he ever gets.

When I was little I used to think Dad seemed gruff, but I think quite the opposite now. He talks loud and has power in his voice, but he’s really got a tender heart. If I ever wanted something or to go somewhere, Dad was who I’d beg. I knew he’d probably say “NO” at first, and mean it too, but if I asked long enough and hard enough he’d usually give in. I’ve watched as he’s helped a lot of people in need too, often anonymously. He hates watching violence or hearing sick news. He hates watching animals suffer too, and would do all he could to save a sick animal from dying and try to comfort it. “When there is life there is hope,” is a phrase I often heard. Being a steward over land and animals is something he takes seriously. Dad is curious to learn and wherever we go he is looking for new ideas to implement and improve the ranch at home. Whatever he has, he wants it to be the best it can be, this applies to his children too. He’d tell us he didn’t care if we got A’s or C’s in school as long as we were trying our hardest. But with all the lessons he taught, his character is what stands out to me the most. Dad likes to preach, but his example meant more than the words. He is honest, hardworking, kind-hearted, and has a testimony of God and prayer. He’s a wonderful cattleman, but he’s made a bigger impact on his children. He often tells us how proud he is of us, and Dad we’re proud of you! I appreciate everything he and my mom have taught me and helped me with. They are wonderful parents!

Yardley Cattle Company truly is a legacy built by our dad, Gib Yardley, and the great men and women that went on before him. Dad is a man of example, we all marvel at the hours he puts in. We all tease that he may not require sleep, but we do, he tirelessly strives for excellence. Words will never say how proud we are to be your children and just how much we love you.

LOSE IT TO GET IT BACK

O

Growing Hair on Show Cattle

BY DAVE GUYER, IL

k, it’s that time of the year, and we are all thinking about loosing hair and starting new. You have to lose it to get it back.

What does that all that mean? It means you have to get the old out before you can get the new in. For those of you that are sitting out there crying because your calf is loosing hair, will be ahead of the game this summer. For those of you that are sitting out there 88 THE SHOWTIMES MARCH/APRIL 2014

trying to hold that hair better be setting some goal because if you hold it too long you will be without it this summer. If you have a July August fair or a target point around then, you have ‘till about the end of March, and then you better be planning for summer.

When planning for a show you need to figure back 120 days from show day and that would the day you put on the calendar to “start work”. You can really figure 90 to 120 but I think 120 has been the best number for me and my experience over the years.

Now... how do you get that hair out? You can wait it out, work it out, or take it out. Ok, there is one that you can’t do and like the outcome... wait it out. If you wait it out, it will not come out in the time frame to be able to get the new hair in, so we can check that option off the list. You can work it out, and this is a option many take. They brush, rinse, brush, comb, wash, blow, use the shedding comb, brush, rinse, grill

brick comb, wash, comb, blow, use the shedding comb... get the picture?

“Work it out!” You can say you are working out the old at the same time you are bringing in the new. This method is what most prefer and that’s fine, but you have to work at it or you’re back at the first option and we have already establish that that is not an option. The last option is take it out. This means shave, clip, or slick em off. This option is not for somebody that likes to go to barn and look at their pretty calf everyday because when you slick one off they are ugly... plain and simple, they are naked and we all know we look better with our clothes on... well most of us! By using this option you have to be mentally tough because you still have to go to the barn everyday and work on that ugly creature.

Sometimes you feel you are not gaining ground fast enough because you have gone from hair to naked and then naked to hair can be a slow, patient process. With the option of working it out, the transition from one phase to the next is not so drastic.

What are the “secrets” to growing hair? It is simple... hard work, dedication, sacrifice, good nutrition program, and the right tools.

I haven’t found a place yet you can buy hard work, dedication, and sacrifice, this is a choice that you have to make if you want to do your best. A good nutrition program... Don’t try to reinvent the wheel and think your going to be a nutritionist, those guys are called “Dr.” or have “PhD” behind their name for a reason and that’s because that is their specialty. Brain surgeons do brain surgery, rocket scientists study and go to space, so we don’t send those guys to do the maintenance on an airplane we are about to get on. In other words, find a nutrition program such as Show . Rite feed that has been researched, studied, proven to win, and formulated and balanced by nutritionists. Last, you need the right tools. A brush, blower, comb, good shampoo and conditioner, cold water, and some skin and hair management. Brush, comb, and blower are all things needed to physically work on the hair to stimulate hair growth.

Good shampoos and conditioners to keep health clean hair. The colder the water the better... cool that body temperature down is a proven key to hair growth. Maybe a Bristow Water Cooler if possible, it’s the only thing of its kind to give you COLD water continuously. And last is the secret weapon... Hide and Hair. This is something that if I have ever recommended anything to any of you that I feel is a huge key and great tool, it is Hide and Hair. It’s great for their skin, it’s great for lower body temperatures, and is essential in hair growth.

Don’t get me wrong, you buy an onion, you will probably have an onion.

These proven tips have and will be a successful combination for years.

NATIONAL WESTERN STOCK SHOW

Hey my name is Baylor Buck. I am 18 years old and from a small town in eastern Colorado named Wray. As a family we have been so fortunate to work with some of the industry’s all-time greatest such as Steve Bonham and Tracy Goretska. These programs truly put families and banners together. A special thank you to Travis Otterstad, Scotty James, Bobby Overby, Zach Eagle and last but least the one and only Baylor Bonham for all their help at Stock Show. I also cannot thank my family enough for all their help particularly my brothers for paving the way for me. As a family we would never be able to compete at this stage if it was not for Coby and Brady Buck. I may be the one in the show ring, but it truly is a family effort.

Winning the National Western Prospect Show has always been one of our biggest dreams.

After knocking on the door many times over the last decade, we finally came out on top.

It was a very significant win for the Buck legacy due to the fact that it is my last year of eligibility. After a major win you truly realize how hard work pays off and how humbling of an experience it is. This is one virtue that my parents have taught me, and I will never be able to thank them enough for giving me the opportunity to compete in doing what I love.

beyond the backdrop

As we approach the end of our showing journey, we still have many dreams and goals we wish to accomplish. We are trying to soak it all up, embrace every moment, and shoot for the stars as we head into the home stretch.

Showing cattle has taught me an unlimited amount of life lessons that I will forever be thankful for.

inning the Grand Champion Chi Female at the 2014 National Western Stock Show is something words cannot describe for me and my family. We will cherish it forever. Growing up, I can say that by no means was my family given anything; we have had to work hard for everything that we have received. Learning the show life from the bottom up and working our way to the top has been hard. I have been showing cattle since the age of 4, traveling all over with my parents Kevin and Renee Bormann of Algona, Iowa along with my younger brother Trevor. I graduated from Bishop Garrigan High School and I am currently attending Iowa State University where I am a sophomore studying Animal Science. Knowing that this is my last year to show in the junior shows at NWSS, there was no way that I wasn’t going to miss it. This year was the 1st annual Junior Chi show at Denver, and

NATIONAL WESTERN STOCK SHOW not knowing what it was going to be like we signed up two head and were definitely going. That Tuesday morning we loaded up the trailer with both heifers and we were “Denver Bound” it was a great feeling. My brother got the privilege of being able to show his chi heifer there too, but for me it was extra special, I knew that this would be the last time I would be showing my all-time favorite show heifer MALB Miss Beckett.

We have had a lot of success with this heifer, but Denver definitely is going to be one we will remember.

There was something about that day that was way different than most show days. I worked really hard at home to get Beckett prepared for Denver.

When they called for my class that Monday morning and I was about to step into the show ring, I said a few prayers and I knew it was our time to shine whether we won or not, we would leave everything in the show ring. I wasn’t as nervous in my class as I was in my division, because I knew that there were good heifers in my division.

After getting the hand shake in my division and coming out of the show ring for a brief minute I took a couple deep breaths and told myself that we could do this.

Going in for the final drive wasn’t about winning as much as it was about how my family and I got the honor to show at Denver. In addition, is about all the wonderful people we got to meet there.

It’s nice to win, but we look beyond that. As we lined up head to tail and Jerome and his daughter Jara Settles started talking about each division winner I was shaking.

When they got done talking my heart was beating out of my chest.

As they walked over and slapped my heifer on the

back, I was in awe with the words and rubbed Becketts head and started to cry, this was the greatest thing that could ever happen for my family and me. This has been an amazing experience for me and I thank everyone that made it possible.

As one door closes the next door will open for MALB Miss Beckett as she has brought lots of success for Team Bormann, but we can’t wait to see what she brings as a mother and a future Donor. I would like to thank the Kempker Family, Charlie Wilson, Jon Sweeny, Josh Elder, my Uncle Kevin Walker and Robin Celander for breeding and raising this awesome heifer. A very special thanks goes especially to my parents for all the early mornings and long nights they put in out in the barn while I am at school.

I want to also give a big thanks to my little brother for stepping up and working hard while I’m at college and never complaining when he is asked to do something with the heifers because he knows it’s a family thing and when he or I win the whole family wins. ▪

New Division Changes for Omaha

I

BY MATT GUNDERSON

n 2014, the Ak-Sar-Ben 4-H Stock Show will have new division classifications for all market animal species including Market Beef, Market Lamb, Market Goat and Market Swine.

Classes will be divided by gender and include classes for registered breed animals as well as crossbred classes currently offered in these species.

All market classes will be assigned by weight within each division. The champions from each division will compete for Grand Champion in each species. The total number of animals eligible for the auction will remain similar to previous years. These enhancements to division classifications will provide additional opportunities for exhibitors and make the gender split the same for all species.

Additional information regarding the new division

classifications will be available in the 2014.

WORK LISTEN LEARN BY: WILLIE WEIS, IA

L

ike all of you reading this magazine, livestock is our passion and always has been. Ever since I can remember I have always liked cattle even before I even was introduced to the show industry. As I have gotten older my passion for the livestock industry has only grown. We grew up on a family farm near Meyer, Iowa where we farm about 1,500 acres of row crop, raise Holstein feeder cattle, and run 60 cow/ calf pairs. My sister Brittany (24) is a currently a Registered Nurse where she works at Mary Greely Hospital in Ames, Iowa. Brittany was the one that not only got us started in showing cattle but a few hogs as well. This can arguably be one of the ways Ben and I got into livestock judging.

From here we decided to begin showing lambs to give us a better understanding of what to look for in sheep. Ben (18) is a senior at St. Ansgar High School. When he isn’t at school or at an FFA event he will most likely be found at home either working on his show heifers or helping Dad on the farm. My parents Rob and Marlene run the family farm while mom also works part time at a gift store in a nearby town. They both showed livestock at the county level growing up.

Our Family has been showing Cattle for 15 years now and although we have had some recent success it hasn’t always been that way. We have invested a lot of time and effort to get there.

When Brittany began showing we were just learning the wrongs and rights of the industry.

Each year we learned from the previous year.

Some of the lessons we have learned that have been the most beneficial, have been taught by some of our worst show cattle. Whether it was buying a steer that was way too straight or a breeding heifer that had a shoulder like a NFL linebacker. I feel learning from mistakes is always important no matter what the case is.

Ben really got in to showing in the summer of 2009. We had traveled across Iowa with his black and white steer (Rodney) running the points. That

206 THE SHOWTIMES MARCH/APRIL 2014

WORK HARD. LISTEN TO LEARN.

summer not only fueled Ben and I’s passion for showing cattle but also consisted of many new adventures for us and definitely led to us becoming closer friends. It was the first time that we were every fully responsible for everything. When we left the driveway we were on our own with whatever happened. The next year we decided to try showing breeding heifers.

We figured we could keep them and start to build our cow herd instead of buying steers and selling them at market when we were done showing them. We traveled to Wagonhammer Ranch in Nebraska purchased three heifers for my senior year and last eligible year for me to show in the Iowa State Fair 4-H show. I was starting to like just working on the cattle and clipping more than I actually like showing, so I made sure to sign one of them up into Ben’s name. The heifer I chose was a Naughty Pine out of an Angus I named Lola. To this day think she was one of the top five best heifers we have ever shown. We worked on them all summer long getting them ready for state fair. When I was clipping Lola 3 days before we left for the state fair, Lola got her leg stuck in a stall divider and her whole right rear leg swelled up. I instantly knew she wouldn’t make the state fair trip.

We turned our focus 100% to my brother’s heifer “Charlotte” a Charolais composite heifer. Later that week Charlotte was selected as the Supreme Female at the 2010 Iowa State Fair 4-H breeding heifer show.

I learned a lot from that summer. I learned that no matter what happens it’s important to always keep fighting and if you keep working something good will most likely happen in the future. Lola is now our lead donor and has already raised the reserve champion heifer at Chi junior nationals.

Ben and I have become very involved in livestock judging. I just finished my

meet the exhibitors

collegiate career last November in Louisville, and there is no doubt that it was one of the best experiences in my life.

Traveling across the country to learn from the most intelligent and respected livestock producers and getting to see their operations and listen to their views are some things I will never forget. The long van rides allow for LOTS of time to think and reflect just how impressive some of those people and their livestock are. I now enjoy helping out with the current team at Iowa State University whenever I can. Ben is finishing up his senior year of high school and has been on a FFA team. He is currently faced with making the decision on where to go to college. We both have a goal to use what we learn from livestock judging to continue to improve our own cow herd. This has shown promise to pay off as some of our past show heifers are starting to produce cattle that can be highly competitive. I highly recommend anyone that is on the fence about livestock judging to give it a try. It is something I promise you will never regret.

Showing livestock has taught us many things. We learned that the best way to become good at something is to listen to people who have mastered the certain skill you are wanting to learn.

It’s also important to never stop learning, it doesn’t matter how old or how smart, there is always something that can be learned from others. When I was starting to learn I would go to a show and find some of the best fitters in the country and just sit back and watch them, and take it all in. I would listen to MARCH/APRIL 2014 THE SHOWTIMES 207

everything they had to say and store it away in the back of my mind. I did the same thing for learning how to evaluate livestock, I would find a breeder or a trader that I thought had really competitive stock and I would absorb anything they would say or do. The biggest thing to learn from showing Livestock is that the most important thing is NOT the banner that everyone is trying to win. The important thing is the life lessons we have learned that we will use the rest of our lives. The other important thing to gain from the livestock industry is the people we have all met, and the relationships we have built. These people will be influential in the rest of our lives.

Finally, and most important, showing livestock has always brought our family together. For us, it has always been the one thing that everyone has always enjoyed. Even if we don’t all always make it to the show, everyone has their part. Our parents have always been there and supported us in everything that we have done.

Dad has always thought that we learn best from our mistakes. Since a very young age, he has always let us hold key roles in our farm operation and left all of the decisions of our show cattle completely up to us. I can remember when I was 10 and he let me order semen and decide how

208 THE SHOWTIMES MARCH/APRIL 2014

to breed our cows. Looking back I laugh now at the bulls I chose and what some of those calves turned out to be like. But there is no doubt that it’s from experiences like that I have gotten to where I am today. He also willingly stays home and takes care of the Livestock while we are out at numerous shows and activities. My mom’s role is just as important. She is constantly keeping everything organized. I sometimes think about how many entry deadlines we would have missed if not being reminded by our mom. She also helps dad on the farm while we are gone and always wishes us luck and sends us off to the show with a care package.

Brittany’s role would be comparable to a utility player in sports. She is always willing to take off work and come help at a show or spend her days off at home helping dad calve cows or put the heifers Ben and I left home in the cooler. I often wonder how Ben gets everything he does done. While being a district FFA officer, keeping his eight show heifers in show shape, while still maintaining grades and holding a large role on the farm. Showing livestock has had an influence in all of our lives and we wouldn’t trade it for anything. There is nothing we like more than meeting new people and seeing other families with the same drive and passion as ours. ▪

When it comes to building a cool room for show cattle, there are a number of things you should take into consideration: What type of floor and drain system will work the best for your application?

•

Are you going to build your own cool room or use a prefab cooler?

•

If you are building your own room what type of insulation works the best?

•

Will you tie your cattle or have them penned in your room?

•

What size of refrigeration equipment will you need?

•

What are the benefits to using chem coated evap coils?

The do’s and don’ts of maintaining your equipment.

•

•

What temperature do you need to run your room?

•

What type of safety features are you going to incorporate into your room?

These are common questions we are asked here at Cool Calf everyday by our customers. I will try to give you some information that will help you with these questions.

It does not matter what type of floor you decide to use. Just remember the most important thing is to make sure your floor gets the urine out of the bedding material. This can be done with a French drain or with concrete.

We have customers who dig out the area where there cool room is going to set and fill it back with washed clean rock. We have people who use concrete floors sloped to a drain. Either are proven method that works. As long as the urine drains out of the bedding it MARCH/APRIL 2014 THE SHOWTIMES 219

doesn’t matter what type you choose.

Thanks to Clendon Gilbert with Cool Calf for sharing how to set up a cool room!

To build a room or to buy a room? That is one of the most common questions we hear. If you are building your own room, make sure the R-Factor of the insulation you put in your room is at least R-24. You can get R-24 using a number of different types of insulation.

I personally would suggest if there is any way possible you can afford closed cell sprayed on urethane to use it. It will provide you with around R-10 per inch. So 2.5” gets you to where you need to be; It is water resistant; You can paint it if you want, or cover it up in the walls. The main thing we are after is R-24 or above R-Factor. The other big issue I have with home built rooms is safety. What type of safety features are you going to implement in your room?

You must be able to get the door open, or have an alarm call you if the temp is above your normal temperature.

There have been a lot of arguments whether to tie cattle or to pen cattle in cool rooms. In about 70% of the barns we cool the cattle are tied. This is usually due to our customers not having a big enough room to have pens in their cool rooms. But there are people who do not want to tie. It is definitely more economical to cool a room where the

cattle are tied because you do not need as much room. This is 100% the call of the customers.

What is the desired temperature of a cool room? We can size equipment to run from -40° to +65°. But with any type of cooling equipment there is a window of about 15°-20° we play with.

The most common temperature range is from 40°-60°F depending where the cattle are located and what time of year they show.

In the last 10 years we have cooled about 1500 cool rooms throughout the US. I speak to people every day concerning what they have now and what they are needing. The one common misperception is using a/c in cool rooms. Home air conditioning units are not designed to run at 40°F; they are designed to run from 60°-85°.

You can add a control to the units that will help you get to these temps but when it gets to these temps it does not have the capacity to cool the room. We see people who are taking portable a/c units and putting them in the walls of rooms with cool bot controls. Again, the problem is the unit was designed to do something else. Refrigeration equipment is designed to operate at the temps needed in cool rooms. It is the

most economical way to do this. Sizing the equipment properly is the next big obstacle. A lot of people can tell you how to cool a walk-in cooler or freezer.

But they have no idea what it takes to cool cattle. We have programs that are based off of cattle loads and will allow us to put any type of insulation into the calculations. To size the equipment properly you must have this info.

per gal for some of these treatments.

Common household vinegar will kill ammonia. We have been telling people this for the past couple years. One of our customers replaces the floor of large ammonia tanks, he told us they use vinegar to kill the ammonia in the rooms where they can work. It is definitely the cheapest to use and we have had customers say it works well.

I have many calls about coated coils.

Coated coils have twice the life as noncoated. There are a number of different types of coating available. The coils that are dipped provide the longest life in a harsh environment. However rooms that are ammonia free do not have problems with coils. The coil that was in our room is still being used today after 13 years of being in a cool room

Safety features are very important!! It is not as critical for people that have large rooms but in a small room it is of the utmost importance. When your room stops working for whatever reason you must be notified immediately. Some small rooms will heat up to over 100°F in less than an hour. We tell everyone to have at least 2 types of safety features in use on a room. We offer the safe door and alarm systems. Both of the systems work well but the only safe way to leave a cool room unattended is to have both systems. ▪

save the cowboy message

I’LL TAKE THE DIRT ROAD OVER THE CONCRETE JUNGLE

We now live in a society that can’t see God through all the city lights.

BY BRAD HENDERSON, CO

“And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.” Genesis 11:1-4

I

may step on a few toes here but just like a judge at a show, this is one guy’s opinion of one of the main diseases destroying our Country and our culture… the urbanization of America and the world.

I travel a lot due to my job and most of my time is spent in the great state of Texas, and predominantly West Texas. I get asked this question a lot from my friends in Texas, “What happened to Colorado?” They are shocked at Colorado legalizing marijuana and trying to outlaw guns. And they fear the battle is now coming to them. What happened to Colorado? My diagnosis is “Urbanization” and the consolidation of power in the cities. The population is now based in the cities and not in the country. Nothing against city folks but it seems they are getting more and more detached from reality. I know that’s harsh but go ask a kid that has grown up in the city where their food comes from? They’ll look you in the eye and with all honesty tell you, “The grocery store”. Ask them where their water comes from and they’ll tell you out of the faucet. Where does the water go when you flush the toilet... they don’t know. How about the gas they put in their cars? The gas station. The electricity to run their houses? No clue. All they see around them is

man’s creation. The buildings, the streets, even the trees they see were all built or installed by and are maintained by man. The food keeps coming and the lights stay on as long as they pay or serve the people that provide all these services to them.

I’ve mentioned before how my Grandma viewed the world from their ranch in eastern Elbert County and how she could not comprehend an atheist.

My Grandma saw God every day and was totally and completely dependent on Him for everything.

God provided the rain and protected their crops.

Grandma felt God every time a newborn calf took its first breath. She experienced and acknowledged His miracles every minute of every day. She saw an atheist the same way she would see someone that believed the sky was green. They can believe that if they want to but it doesn’t change the color of the blue sky. Grandma lived outside with her cattle and her crops and walked with her Maker every day. All she saw around her was God’s creation. She knew where their food came from. They heated their home with coal and she helped load it into the truck right out of the mine. She understood if we don’t drill for oil she wouldn’t have diesel in their tractors or gas in their trucks. She worked for everything and was always wary of anyone offering her something for MARCH/APRIL 2014 THE SHOWTIMES 223

“free”. She saw any reliance on man, or things provided by man, as giving up her God given freedom and a slippery slope to slavery. God provided everything she needed, and if He didn’t provide it then she didn’t need it.

Now look at America and the world today. Multiple generations have grown up in the cities and know no other way of life. The street lights block out the stars and the buildings block out the blue sky.

The government is their provider. They are completely detached from the farms, the ranches, the oil fields, and everything that produces all the luxuries they enjoy.

And because they don’t see it, they don’t think about where it all comes from. They are totally dependent upon man and the government to meet their needs. And because the government is now their provider, they are perfectly willing to continue to hand over their freedoms to the power hungry political class that now rules this once great country. Even stranger is the fact that the government and the media is trying to make the producers of everything, from farmers and ranchers to the people that produce their energy, into the villains.

I’ve been trying to make some sense out of all this for a long time and I’ve come

BIBLE verses

to one conclusion: The Declaration of Independence states, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights…”

America was founded on the principle that our rights come from God alone, and therefore man cannot take those rights away. We now live in a society that can’t see God through all the city lights. They have been taught, since they entered the government school system, that there is no God and so it’s not surprising their rights must come from the government. And what the government gives it can also take away.

The verse at the top of this article refers to the Tower of Babel. This was the first of many times man has tried to lift himself up to heaven, with his own works, instead of relying on God. It’s been tried so many times throughout history and it always leads to the same thing: slavery and destruction. Don’t fall for the lies that the government will take care of you or meet your every need… only God can do that.

And don’t forget every “hand out” comes with chains attached. I don’t know about you, but I’ll keep raising my own out here in the sticks, and relying on my Creator for all my family’s needs. ▪

Psalm 2:1-2 “Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His anointed…”

Psalm 84:11-12 “For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly. O lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.”

TACO REDO recipe

UP ON THE FARM

Recipes used to feed four hungry boys and seasonal farm help.

BY: JULIE KNUTSON, MN

Ingredients

2 (10.5 oz) cans of cream of chicken soup 1 (10.5 oz) can of cheddar cheese soup 1 soup can of water 1 tsp of oregano 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp sage 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp garlic powder

Directions

Taco Redo is an easy meal for me to haul out to the field during planting or harvesting.

CREAM CHEESE BARS Ingredients

2 (8 oz.) cans of crescent rolls 2 (8oz.) pkg of cream cheese 3/4 -1 cup of sugar 1 tsp of vanilla

Mix all the above together and simmer for 30 minutes

1/4 cup melted butter cinnamon and sugar

Brown 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 pounds of hamburger and Add chili powder and garlic powder

Directions

Mix 1/3 of sauce into the hamburger.(about 1 3/4 - 2 cups)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Fill large 22 oz Tortilla with the meat mixture and top that with some shredded lettuce and shredded cheddar cheese. Roll up the tortilla and place it into a large greased shallow pan. Continue to roll the remaining tortillas. Pour the other 2/3 of sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas. Garnish with chopped tomatoes, jalapenos, onion, black olives, shredded cheese and of course, lots of sour cream.

Roll out one can of the crescent rolls on the bottom of a lightly greased 9 x 13 pan. Blend the cream cheese,sugar and vanilla in a bowl; spread over the crescent rolls. Place the second can of rolls over the cream cheese. Pour the melted butter over the top of the crescent rolls and sprinkle with some cinnamon and sugar.

Bake for 15- 20 minutes at 375 degrees.

Bake for 30 minutes.

BACON WRAPPED BUTTERNUT SQUASH Ingredients

1/4 cup maple syrup 1/4 cup honey 1/2 tsp dried oregano 1 -2 jalapeño (seeds and placenta removed) 1 tsp kosher salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 1 - lb butternut squash cut into 1 x 4 in sticks 1/2 lb bacon - about 18-20 half-slices

Directions

Preheat oven to 425.

Cut, peel and slice squash into 4-5 in long sticks 1/2 in thick. Bring maple syrup,honey,oregano,salt, pepper and jalpeno just to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 -10 minutes. Wrap each butternut squash stick in 1/2 strip of bacon and roast on a slotted roasting pan for 15 minutes.

We love squash at our house and it's so healthy. We make our own maple syrup so I like to incorporate that "liquid gold" into recipes. These are so good you might want to double the recipe! 

Remove from oven and liberally brush the maple syrup/jalepeno glaze onto the squash sticks and cook for another 15 minutes continually basting the squash with the syrup every 7 minutes.

Italian Stallion was received as the best bull in Denver in several years this January. The bull has extra style, smoothness of shoulder and correctness of pasterns to go along with the extra foot size and power. The MAB genetic line is known to look great as babies but sometimes get coarse shouldered and rigid in their pasterns as they mature.

Italian Stallion is backed by one of the more proven and exciting donors in the country, she having previously raised Nick Reimann's "Liquid Courage," Bright/Leo's "Don't Stop Believing," & Fair's "Lucky" all promoted A.I. Sires. This extra cow power will bring more consistency and staying power to Italian Stallion's genetic line.

CALVING EASE I-67 was the Rookie Of The Year in 2013. Calves are coming with all the I-80 style, hair and bone with slightly more muscle. Another benefit of breeding I-67 over I-80 is a more functional and correct rear leg design.

With a limited amount of semen used in his first calf crop, the top I-67 calves are being fed by some of the best show families in the country. It will be exciting to see the high sellers and show winners in 2014 with more widespread use. Dual registered and proven calving ease.

Grand Champion Breeding Heifer 4-H/FFA Show 2014 Sioux Empire Shown By Tommy Norman Raised By Lowell Jauert, MN

Jesse James semen sales have increased exponentially each year he has been on the market. Calves come small at birth with documented shorter gestation lengths.

They get up and nurse quickly and grow out to be highly marketable offspring. Breeding Jesse James also will increase value to those marketing 1st calvers in production sales as seen at the First Class Female sale where a Maine Bred Heifer sold bred to Jesse James for $32,000. Jesse James is the #1 THF/PHAF outcross Sire to breed back to I-80 first calf heifers. The first Jesse James females are reaching production and are milking and raising some outstanding calves.

General Lee was our top selling rookie bull in 2013. He is as powerful and big footed as we have ever seen in a 50% Maine Anjou package. General Lee traveled to Canadian Western Agribition in November 2013 for live display in Saskatchewan after being in stud all year. We brought him home and in January 2014 it was his time to shine once again in the green bark In The Yards at Denver. No bull in club calf history has been displayed at 2 Denver's and in Canada as pointed out by Breeder Steve Watson! Calves are coming big hipped, lots of rib and hair and with outstanding design. We cant wait for what the future holds for General Lee and his offspring.

GAME On Turton X McHenry • AICA# M820913 • DOB April 2012 • Semen $25/unit

Zach Kraenow & Paige Sherman 308.760.4852

As one of the most talked about bulls in Denver 2013, Game On is perhaps the most versatile bull to come along in sometime. He is moderate, stout, and stylish. He has the muscle, bone, and hair to sire show ring winners at the most competitive steer shows while maintaining a place in the purebred industry.

Game On is a great match for Heat Wave daughters and granddaughters or any cow needing look and power.
