SULLIVAN’S

FIGHTING FIVE FUNGUS TREATMENT

• For ALL Species • Faster Ringworm Elimination • Faster Hair & Skin Recovery Sullivan’s Fighting Five is a blend of natural oils that prevents, eliminates, and heals all types of fungus such as ringworm. The unique ability to repair the damaged skin on your animal results in faster hair or wool regrowth. Fighting Five can be used to prevent a breakout if the animal has been exposed to areas infected with fungus. It is recommended to treat equipment that has been exposed to ringworm and other fungus with Fighting Five.

“Fighting Five has proven to be one of the fastest ringworm treatments. It’s hair and hide recovery is what sets the product apart from any other product on the market. The PERFECT show animal fungus treatment!”

MARCH/APRIL 2020

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.

THE SHOWTIMES

This is the Ultimate Sire Edition. No matter the breed or purpose of bull you are looking for, this issue has it. From the beginning of The Showtimes, we have worked to make our March/April magazine the go-to source for sires. In 2020, we have developed a publication with full catalogs and listings from the Top Producers in the industry. I have never been more excited to get a magazine to print and in the hands of our readers! It’s not just the multitude and quality of bulls advertised that makes me so pumped about this magazine. The start of 2020 has been one for the record books! The following pages include bios from the Champions from Denver, Fort Worth and San Antonio as well as exclusive articles and features by the Day Family, GKB Cattle, Buck Cattle Co., Phil Lautner and more! Covering the shows and working on this issue has reminded me of two things. One, most people are truly good. The passion, sportsmanship and generosity I witnessed on the start of our 2020 Tour was amazing. Two, this is the only industry in the world that combines modernization and new technololgy with old school work ethic and values. That combination is lethal and has excelled what we all do to a whole new level. It’s fun to cover; and even more fun to be a part of. Use this March/April 2020 Sire Edition as a tool to locate genetics and learn about the people and operations that can help make your dreams a reality. They are the best of the best - THEY ARE SHOWTIMES! Lisa M. Reid Owner/Editor

MARCH/APRIL 2020 SIRE EDITION This issue includes more Sires than ever before! We are excited to feature Chosen 1 on the cover and page 3! His cover is without doubt one of the coolest covers we’ve ever printed! Inside, this issue is packed with Show Results from Arizona National, National Western and Fort Worth! Plus, we bring you three awesome articles from Texas. First we have Work Hard Win Big by the Day Family! They talk about their big win in Fort Worth with their Hereford! GKB shares the story behind how they purchased the Grand Champion Steer in Fort Worth for a record setting $300,000! We’ve also included an article with Jim Kelley who has been a superintendent for 40 years! Not only will you find the entire Rodgers Bulls 2020 Sire Book and Lautner Farms 2020 Sire Directory in this issue, you will also find every great sire in our industry! We’ve also included more show coverage from Denver and Fort Worth than ever before with Show Results, Faces and Places and more throughout this issue! Finally, we can’t wait for you to read about our new Hall of Fame members! Be sure to check out page 162 to find out who they are! We hope you enjoy our March/April 2020 Sire Edition! It is without question one of our favorites we’ve ever printed and our biggest Sire Edition to date at 460 pages! Look for our Index starting on page 422 to easily find any sire!

First and foremost we would like to express our extreme gratitude to all of our customers that believe in our program. We have been extremely blessed with success in our bull program this last year and know that without the hard working cattlemen spending sleepless nights trying to raise show cattle, keeping them alive after birth, then getting them in the right homes and with help from the lord above none of it would be possible! We strive to bring the best Bulls we can find year in and year out to meet the high standards of the cattle business today. Thank You and may God bless each and every one of you!! Wade Rodgers

BRINGING THE BEST BULLS WE CAN FIND YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT.

MARCH/APRIL 2020 THE SHOWTIMES

All we can really say about this bull is how blessed we are to have found one of, if not the greatest bull, of our generation! The impact this bull has made on our family and families across the country whether its the bottom line and increasing the average of your calf crop, or winning a county fair to some of the most respectable cattle shows in the country, is truly second to none and will be hard to replicate! This bull will consistently throw calves that have â&#x20AC;&#x153;the look and buildâ&#x20AC;? it takes to win competitive shows! We love how this bull has been so versatile in the types of cows he works on from monopoly, mab, and maternal bred females like whizard etc. Breed this bull as much as you possibly can and stock up on the semen to last you a while because there will only be ONE Here I Am and the way he stamps his progeny will be timeless!

Without a doubt one of the most consistent bulls we have ever marketed to date! IGWT has consistently sired extremely sellable cattle that are extremely unique in terms of build, structure, and turn their upper rib cages and stoutness from behind!! IGWT is out of some of the most proven genetic lines there are in the entire industry both from the north and south! Hopefully you have happened to see the trend across the country in colored cattle making a huge jump in terms of champions and sale makers! Colored cattle are in and the demand is off the charts! We love how this bull really clicks awesome to Monopoly and MAB type females, and when you breed him to a rope necked great chested cow then hold onto your seats because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a fun ride! This bull will be one of the few in our industry that we will be talking about for a couple generations!!

Huge backed, big stout square pin set, and feet and legs that could go on for days and never miss a beat! This is one of the biggest footed, most rugged boned HIA sons to date! He is backed by one of the most prolific cows on the ranch that has certainly made a name for herself and will continue to throughout the years! Breed Bear Mountain to those cows that need a shot of extra punch, power and dimension! WE TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST HIA SONS TO DATE!

We absolutely love the pieces this bull has and he will truly be a cow changing type bull!! He is out of one of the most unique and up and coming donor cows that is an absolute creature!

PRICE: $35

“THE MATERNAL BULL WE HAVE ALL BEEN LOOKING FOR!!!” Here is one of absolute favorite young bulls that we truly believe will be the next great maternal sire!! Good As It Gets is one incredible looking mature bull that has the right foot shape, length of stride, and maintains his balance perfectly when you set him into motion! Unlike most maternal bulls and Angus sires when you step in behind GAIG he has the power and the natural width and dimension it seems like our industry is trending towards within both the heifer and steer rings! GAIG is a go to bull in our operation on our cows that we want to continue to make great females out of and to have a splash of color and keep the hairy quality extremely good! Don’t be one of those in 8 years and say “I knew I should’ve been using that bull more but just didn’t have the patience to make a lot high quality females!” We truly feel like in years to come you will see this bull more consistently on the bottom of the pedigrees!

MOST intriguing son to date! We always knew that it would be hard to pass the torch on from HIA, but WID could possibly fill his shoes and even do some things more consistently than his father! WID is one short backed, bold bodied, deep sided bull that we think can consistently have really of high dollar groups of cattle! With his mother having a touch of angus in her pedigree we feel like he will work incredible just like his father on clean Heat Wave derivative females, and the one plus we think with him is you can breed him to some of your more “tricked” out females due to what he looks like phenotypically in his body shape and flank, and having that touch of angus on the bottom side! Don’t be scared to jump on the new train here and try something new because you very likely could be left in the dust!

He has the build stamp his progeny with, and the added muscle shape up high and from behind that could raise a slick shearing type cattle! With the pendulum starting to shift into wanting more real shape and genuine width in these cattle we think this will be an added bonus to the guys in the north wanting to add some color to their calf crop without sacrificing hair quality!

This bull is truly ONE OF A KIND! Not very often does a double clean bull have the bone, stoutness, and hair that most dirty bulls have! 1OAK has been one of the most asked about bulls ever to breed dirty cows to that there hasn’t been very many options with! We love that this bull has extremely powerful dams on both sides of his pedigree, and actually think he could raise some killer females if mated correctly and keep them clean! We think this bull may be as valuable of an asset to anybody’s operation! Calves have been EXTREMELY hairy, sound, and colorful! Jump on the good stuff here and make sure your keeping up with the times!

For everyone wanting some shorter bodied chubbier Fu Man Chuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, this bull is your cup of tea! This may be the absolute stoutest, shortest bodied, burliest FU son to date! The calf reports have been absolutely off the charts and the calves are coming out with the extra hair and bone with still having the length and extension that everyone loved about FU! This bull is right for the times and we truly believe he can make an impact on your calf crop!

Phil Lautner meeting President Donald J. Trump in Iowa.

BY: PHIL LAUTNER, IA

THE SHOWTIMES

I was born in Carrol, Iowa to Walter and Francis Lautner. I lived just north of Jefferson growing up and attended Jefferson Schools. I played football and enjoyed helping my dad on the farm. I later went to college at Fort Dodge

and later decided I was meant for farming. I purchased farm ground in the Jefferson area and started purchasing bulls for breeding purposes. I have had the opportunity to own many great sires that have won countless majors!

PHIL LAUTNER FILLS IN THE BLANKS!

The best piece of advice I was ever given is... treat your employees and customers the way you would want treated

What makes Lautner Farms unique is...

our customer service is the best in the industry as is our sires!

One thing most people do not know about me is...

We do our best to help our customers promote and sell their cattle on our blog, Facebook, Instagram, SnapChat, and Twitter account in a way I think social media is a benefit. I feel social media can be deceiving. Many are lead astray to a bull that is not the best bull in the industry. Phony pictures won’t make you great cattle, and that’s why we do the best we can to provide QR codes in our catalog so you can see the bulls in motion. Not everyone has the time to make it to the farm or bull stud to view the bull. In an industry with plagued social media with internet sensations that appear to be a good choice, most find out its false advertising, so we encourage you to come back to a place with roots that’s been around for 3 decades. We are not a rambling tumble weed!

I got where I am today by...

working hard everyday.

The new bulls for 2020 are...

Mr. Houston, Smooth Whiskey, Big Oak, Best of Both, American Pie, Here I Am 2, All Here, Big Brother, White Water, Holy Roller, Blaze, Lord Only Knows, Strike Back, and Prince Albert.

The biggest change I’ve witnessed in the bull industry is...

it’s not about a firm hand shake anymore. If someone tells a lie long enough it appears to be the truth these days.

I worked at the packing house.

If I could have dinner with one person past/ present/future it would be... One food I could eat for the rest of my life is... steak..

my dad.

The future for Lautner Farms holds... many more great sires!

MARCH/APRIL 2020 89 THE SHOWTIMES

ello, my name is Conner Knudson and I’m from Morristown, IN. My livestock judging story started over 6 years ago when I decided to join my school’s Livestock Judging team. At this point in my life I had no idea what livestock judging was, or how I would even go about joining a team. In 6th grade my family decided to transfer me to Eastern Hancock Schools for this exact reason. I had always been interested in FFA and livestock judging and Eastern sounded like the perfect fit, football, wrestling, FFA, what more could I want. I had always heard my father, Terry Knudson, and even his father, Ernie Knudson, tell stories about their personal success throughout their high school and college livestock judging careers. They have always said, “Now it’s time for you two, Hunter and I, to carry on the tradition.” This all started when my grandpa won hogs at the Chicago international, now known as NAILE, and my dad did the same thing in 1986. They said “it’s in our genes,” so we would have no other choice but to carry the tradition on. Although our trip was not to the North American International, they still felt like Denver was a heck of a start, and were incredibly proud that we were the 3rd generation of Knudson’s to have success at a National contest. To me, us winning was carrying on a generational tradition not only for my family, but for my school as well. Our Assistant coach, Jason O’Neal, was also on a national Champion team in the 90’s, and was extremely passionate about helping to ready our current team for the contest. He was thrust into the head coach position as our previous head coach, who is now back and better than ever, Diana Arellano, was deathly ill and did not have the strength to come to practices or make the trip. Although Ms. A’s illness and absence had the team saddened, it also gave us motivation and drive to bring back the champion banner on her behalf. Because of this we worked, and worked, and practiced, and practiced, on numerous 4-6 hour days to prepare ourselves for the biggest contest of our lives. Without the guidance from my parents, mentors, teachers and teammates, I would have never been able to win, or even compete, at the biggest contest of my career. •

i, my names Ashtyn Harvey and I am a part of the Eastern Hancock livestock judging team. We just got back from our national trip to Denver Colorado for the Western National Roundup Contest. This trip was a little different than our normal trip. A few months before our amazing livestock judging coach became very sick and was in the hospital for a couple weeks. During this we still had our normal practices but lucky for us Jason O’Neal was able to step in and able to provide superb guidance and knowledge. During those practices we made it a mission to win Denver as a tribute to the best livestock coaching team we know. After the contest (the night before the awards), we were all on the tip of our toes waiting for the results that came in the next day. The next day when “Indiana” was called up for High Team Overall 4-H division will forever hold a special place in my heart. That was a moment that to a normal 16-year-old girl wouldn’t mean much, but to me it was something incredible. It was nice to be back home and there was Ms. A with the biggest smile on her face, she was incredibly proud of us and in that moment, I realized we had done what we wanted to do this whole entire time, win Denver for Ms. A. I would like to thank not only Ms. A, and Jason O’Neal but to my amazing teammates Hunter Knudson, Conner Knudson, and Reed Hedrick. What an unbelievable trip with some great people. •

THE SHOWTIMES

ello, I’m Reed Hedrick, and I participate on the Eastern Hancock Livestock Judging team in Charlottesville, IN. I am very proud to say that my team and I were the High Overall 4-H team in Denver, CO at the National Western Roundup. I started judging about 6 years ago because I wanted to get more involved in FFA. I came to a practice, and absolutely loved it. I realized that I wanted to do more and started going to contests almost every weekend. And with more experience, came more and more success for our team. Leading up to this event however, was rather different than normal. Our coach and teacher Ms. Arellano, came down with a severe illness. She missed a lot of school and none of us saw her for at least 2 months. Fortunately, Jason O’Neal, who was a part of arguably the most dominant judging team ever here at Eastern Hancock, stepped in and took over. We practiced harder than ever, and had one mindset. Winning. We knew we were capable, we just had to out-work everyone else. The week of the contest, and the day of, went very well, our team was in synch, and was really seeing animals the right way. When we were called to be the High Team, I knew that all the hours and commitment we had given, paid off. It is a moment that I will truly never forget, and one that no one can take away from me, or my teammates. I will certainly continue in my judging career, and I hope this accomplishment will help in my future. It definitely wouldn’t be possible without my friends, family, and all the people that helped us with our one goal. • Special thanks to Viking Club Lambs(Conner and Hunters Farm), Lawyer Showpigs, Mench Showpigs, Harvey Hamps and Showpigs(Ashtyn’s Farm), Shoufler Shorthorns, Trennepohl Farms, Trent Fredenburg, Bryce Jordan, Tom Younts, Gary Wilson, and the team at Colorado State. Without your live classes and mentorship, none of this would’ve happened.

Hunter and Conner Knudson with their head coach Ms. A

y name is Hunter Knudson. My friends and I are part of the Eastern Hancock judging team that recently competed at the Western National RoundUp. We judged and competed on the 4-H side where we received first in the contest. This was even bigger to us then most people thought because two months before this our ag teacher became ill. Seeing this she was not able to join us on our trip to the National Western. This was a tough time for us seeing that our main coach would not be joining us on the trip she helped us earn. Luckily our assistant coach Jason O´Neal stepped up and got us ready for the biggest contest of our judging careers. This being said we couldn’t have achieved this without all the amazing people and coaches we have met on the way. •

rowing up in Nevada, Missouri I got involved in the livestock industry though my family’s business which was owning and operating the local sale barn and raising cattle. My involvement in the show stock world started when I joined 4-H and began to exhibit sheep and pigs. Through 4-H and FFA I not only had the opportunity to show livestock but became involved with the livestock judging program in our county. I would have to say my biggest influence to start judging would be my dad, who judged at Fort Scott and Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State) and also coached for a stint at both of those places. Between him and my coaches Marty Miller and Bryan Gast I had a lot of great guidance and support for judging and that led to me wanting to judge collegiately. I attended Butler Community College and Kansas State University and was very fortunate to be on Chris Mullinix’s last team at Butler and first team at K-State. After being on the team at K-State I decided to pursue a master’s degree in swine nutrition and had the opportunity to be the assistant coach while I was there. After completing my Masters I moved back home to Nevada where I worked with my family raising show steers as well as keeping up with my brother (who also judged at Butler and currently at Kansas State) and I’s

goat operation. This past summer I got a call from Brandon Callis and he informed me of a new position opening at Redlands Community College and wondered if I would have any interest in coaching the judging team. I was very excited to come check it out as Redlands has a long history of competitive livestock judging teams and countless alumni who are incredible leaders in our industry. Along with Brandon, Annie Pearson, Scotti Charmasson, Sam Nusz, Ed Zweiacher, and James Turner, I am on faculty with the Agriculture Department. Along with the livestock judging team we have a beef show team, which we just brought back this year, to give students more hands on learning opportunities. As a group we are focused on making sure our students are prepared to have success at whatever they decide to do after leaving. I know I am a little bias but here at Redlands the people are as good as it gets and the support for our program is outstanding. We are truly excited about the future here and know we are moving in the right direction. •

THE STORY BEHIND THE DAY FAMILY’S HISTORIC WIN AT THE 2020 FORT WORTH STEER SHOW!

mantra for their show cattle business, the saying means so much more. It’s rooted deep in the Day/Yates family legacy of raising livestock and exhibiting show cattle. And it’s a fact that to these people, it’s not just a competition but a lifestyle. They exemplified WORKING HARD and WINNING BIG by raising the Grand Champion Steer at the 2020 Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo.

A win is hard fought for this multi-generational show cattle family. It’s certainly not won solely in the ring either. It’s in the unglamorous hours, the thoughtful selections, and the responsibility of being cattle ranchers first - with club calf producers as a close and pride-bearing second. When a quiet thoughtful young man in the awkward space of not a boy but not yet a teenager takes Breed Champion the day before, the cheering section is raucous. It takes a village of people with grit & grace to get from the barn to the show and ultimately the sale ring. The experience of it all, especially at Legendary Fort Worth in its iconic Will Rogers Coliseum, transports anyone who’s experienced it back in time almost immediately.

In 1991 Rusty Day, father/ hero to Ryder, was 11 years old when he won Reserve Grand Champion Steer at the Houston Livestock

Bobby May and fit that year at Houston by Bill Cody. So in true Texas fashion, Day returned the hospitality by buying a group of Sugar Ray/Angus Cows from May and Maine/ Angus cows from Cody. That set of cows formed the foundation of what is now Rusty’s involvement in Day Show Cattle, the outfit that produced this year’s Fort Worth champ.

MARCH/APRIL 2020

This movie quote was from “The Rare Breed” a tale about Herefords making their way to America and changing it’s landscape forever. Who is the modern version of those cowboys & cowgirl upholding the history whilst pioneering genetic technology simultaneously? None other than the Day family of Meadow, Texas, and at this year’s 2020 Fort Worth Stockshow & Rodeo, 12year old Ryder Day made history with it all.

Show. This was the last year before they capped earnings from the junior livestock sale, so Rusty took home all $90,000 that Red Adair purchased his steer “Jake” for, and was told by Adair “go to school.” School was a long way off, so he invested that money, under guidance of father Ricky Day, into something liquid with high potential return on investment: Cows. His Houston steer Jake was bought from

other unless it was in the Champion Drive. Rusty led around black crossbreds and Katie Jo was partial to the Hereford breed. They started dating in 1999 and five years and two degrees later, Rusty finally made the ultimate proposal: He asked if she wanted to buy a set of Hereford cows together. That sealed the deal, they bought the cows, decided to get married a year later, and the shinnery and sandhills of Meadow, Texas have been painted

Hereford wooden show stick in Ryder’s hand, judge Chris Mullinex enthusiastically slapped the Champion Polled Hereford as Grand Overall & the Will Rogers Coliseum erupted in euphoric cheers and applause. It was a historic slap indeed because a Hereford breed has not clenched the title since 1982 when Chad Breeding of Miami, TX claimed the honor, and it’s the first time in the history of the FWSSR that a Polled Hereford has been chosen.

with red & white ever since.

The Day ranch is truly a collision of RFD-TV meets the Sci-Fi Channel. Cattle are worked horseback year round with mounts raised on the ranch, quarter horses are another passion of Ricky Day’s. He instilled a love for the cowboy way of life into his family, and all facets of their operation are focused on taking care of God’s creations as a duty and privilege. But the same day you find the family roping and dragging calves to an open fire to brand and knife cut, you’ll watch them manage their ET herd and feed the many clones that grace the pastures. Not afraid to research the most cutting edge technology available, the Days embrace these advances to leverage their cattle operation to the highest standard. You’ll find Ryder & Riggin and their parents horseback

all summer calving out their herd and helping pen heats throughout breeding season, as the Days’ AI their entire cowherd off natural heats. Grueling and unforgiving, at the mercy of mother nature and her forces, they pull their boots on each day with the passion & dedication of true cattlemen. And they do it together, as a family. When you know, you know. And Rusty Day knew the moment he saw a particular heifer for sale in Crawford, Oklahoma that he needed to own her. She was a Polled Hereford he tagged 254 with a purple tag, and the first year she came up open he flushed her to Made Right. That mating has clenched 7 Texas banners and her legacy is now living on through her daughters. The best looking of which had a bull calf by in-herd ranch sire

“Matador” on August 15th 2019. A stand out since his birthdate, he was eventually brought to the show barn on Valentines Day where he was halter broke and loved on by little brother Riggin. The calf ended up in Ryder’s string and history was made one year later as “Cupid Shuffle” won the highest honor awarded in the club calf world, Grand Champion Steer at the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo. Traditional

Records were again broken the next morning at the Junior Sale of Champions when, unbeknownst to any of their staff or leadership, in walks Gary & Kathy Buchholz. Gary announced they were there to buy the Grand Champion Steer and the good folks in the office politely smiled and said they were welcome to join the Syndicate. Gary took a defining step forward and said, “No I don’t think you understand. We are here to buy the Grand Champion Steer.” And buy him they did, shattering the old record of $240,000

When asked by reporters after his victory what he would do with his earnings, an emotional Ryder answered, “My little brother and I will go to college, and then we will use the rest to build up our ranch. Just like my parents, my grandparents, and their parents before them did.” Nothing makes a heart swell more than a 4th generation cattleman giving hope for the 5th and beyond. The lifestyle is tough, the days are long, the nights sometimes longer. There’s hardships, heartache, and ALOT of hard work. But when you see a kid overwhelmed with pride, tears of joy and appreciation welling in his little blue eyes, give a shout out to those who have WORKED HARD so he could WIN BIG on the grandest stage in Texas, how can that not give you hope that our country is in good hands? Congratulations Ryder Day and family on making history in Cowtown in the year 2020. Thanks for being an inspiration to us all. •

121 THE SHOWTIMES

They say “money can’t buy everything.” Rusty Day has taught Ryder & Riggin many lessons thus far with many more to come. But likely the most wholesome is that in this competitive show cattle industry, if you can’t win, you want your friends to. And you want to be the first to hustle over to congratulate them because when it’s your time to step into the winners’ circle, nothing feels better than having those who fought hard for that same prize shake your hand and genuinely say, “good job we are so proud for you”. To see young people exhibit this sportsmanship and

leadership truly has a value money can’t buy.

and declaring their final bid of $300,000. “This is Hereford people taking care of their own,” Katie Jo (Yates) Day admitted. Legendary Hereford breeder George W. “Tee” Knox was a neighbor and friend of the Yates family in Tarzan, Texas and was the source of many of Katie Jo’s breed champions during her show career. Tee’s daughter Kathy (Knox) Buchholz brought that friendship back full circle in Fort Worth’s West Arena by purchasing the next generation’s homegrown champion. It’s truly admirable the connection built throughout the show barns, a legacy built on years of commitment to promoting the breed and youth programs of Texas and beyond. Thanks to the GKB Cattle, Gary & Kathy Buchholz for being guardians of the past and champions of our future.

THE STORY BEHIND GKBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S RECORD-SETTING $300,000 PURCHASE OF THE 2020 FORT WORTH STOCK SHOW GRAND CHAMPION STEER!

Gary and Kathy Buchholz, owners of GKB Cattle out of Waxahachie, Texas, played a starring role in the saga that was made at the 2020 Fort Worth Stock Show Steer Show. At the Sale of Champions, which has since gone viral, when the auctioneer yelled SOLD! on Ryder Day’s Grand Champion Steer, it was GKB who had the record-setting winning bid of $300,000! Coining Day’s big win as “A Family Affair – 2020 the Year of the Hereford,” Buchholz’s stated that, “it is hard to find a starting point in the historical legacy!”

special feature

MARCH/APRIL 2020

The Buchholz and Day family’s paths did not first cross at the sale but go back generations. Gary Buchholz met Sammy Yates, Ryder’s Great Grandfather, in the mid 70’s and purchased steers from him for the FFA students where Gary was an Ag teacher in Duncanville, TX (Southwest of Dallas).

THE SHOWTIMES

Ryder’s grandfather, Jody Yates of Tarzan (TX) and his two sisters showed in the 1970’s, the same time as Kathy. Kathy is a fourth generation Hereford breeder. Nearly all of the Hereford steers she showed were ranch raised. Kathy’s father, Tee Knox also of Tarzan, raised Hereford show steers along with his Commercial Hereford cowherd. Mr. Knox helped Katie Jo, Ryder’s mom, get her first Hereford steer as Katie’s family raised another breed. The Herefords were gentle and fun – Katie Jo

was hooked on showing Herefords!! That first Hereford steer went on to be the Reserve Champion Hereford at the San Antonio Stock Show. With that, Katie’s passion grew as well as the showmanship skills! 1994 marked a breed champion for Katie Jo with a Tee Knox Hereford. She continued to show Herefords, with more wins

at majors with cattle by other Texas breeders as well as Mr. Knox. Katie showed a Grand Champion Steer of the show at El Paso, Texas – over all breeds like her son did at Fort Worth with a Hereford that was a Tee Knox! In the current era, Tee Knox owned the paternal Grand Sire of Ryder’s steer, Cupid Shuffle, called “Right Answer.”

Gary and Kathy watched the steer show on Thursday in Fort Worth, yet on Friday, Gary was one of three judges for the Commercial Heifer Show and Kathy was serving on the Beef Committee of the 2020 Intercollegiate Livestock Judging Contest. Kathy was taking reasons on Hereford heifers (a class of heifers provided by GKB Cattle – of which they had been the Champion Pen of Three Fall Heifers

at the recent Denver show). Kathy explained, “The official across the hall taking steer reasons knocked on my door and said his son texted the Polled Hereford steer won Grand and the Horned Hereford steer was Reserve Grand!! I was so excited and it’s still hard to believe.” There’s still a long stretch between being excited for old family friends and bidding $300,000 on their Champion Steer. What was it that led the Buchholz’s to the Sale of Champions that day with all intentions of making that record bid? “We wanted to support

the youth in Texas and the youth in the Hereford Breed as they become future Hereford Breeders.” they stated. “We appreciate all the work the Fort Worth Stock Show Syndicate (40 Year Anniversary in 2020) does for the Youth in Texas Agriculture and for the Fort Worth Steer Sale! It’s a sale where all of the sale proceeds go to the exhibitors! That is another reason the Fort Worth show is unique and supports youth!!!” Their passion and dedication to this industry and its youth is admirable. Three stock show Syndicate members visited GKB cattle on Tuesday, February 18th

to say thank you for the purchase and meet Gary and Kathy in person. With such a rich family connection of the Buchholz’s and Day’s, it made the overall story of the 2020 Fort Worth Stock Show all the more special. Kathy watched Ryder show for his first time at Fort Worth and admires how both he and his brother are very knowledgeable and, more importantly, well mannered! “Simply put, it’s a family affair with buyers and sellers – starting with Great Grandparents through Ryder.” •

have been involved in multiple phases of the cattle and horse business for over 50 years. I grew up in a very strong FFA program in Lampasas. When your best friend has the Grand steer two years in a row at the FWSSR the bar is set pretty high. My sister and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford high dollar ($2,000) steers so we had to work harder and out show our competition. This ultimately led to my competing in the State and National Jr Hereford field day wins! The show stick ultimately landed me my first job after I graduated from college Texas A&M 1975.

V-Bar Hereford Ranch in Stanton, TX. Hauling a great string of cattle to all the major shows in 5 different states. After traveling all over the country for 6 months showing cattle, I was hired as the 4-H county agent in Navarro County in Corsicana, TX. It had a great program with almost 500 kids involved in 4-H programs. In 1977 I was hired by TSCRA and went to work as a Livestock field man for The Cattleman Magazine. Taking pics, selling advertising and working the ring at purebred cattle and club calf sales. I worked my way up the ladder and 20 years later I was the Asst. Executive Director of TSCRA. In 1996, I was hired by the American Paint Horse Assn. and became the Executive Director of

that Assn. In 2005, I was hired for my dream job as Manager of Superior Livestock Auction in Ft Worth selling a million head of cattle/year in 30 different states on RFDTV and on the internet!! We had over 400 representatives scattered over 30 different states. Unfortunately, 4 years later one of the owners died and the company was ultimately sold to a group in California. So, 10 years ago I went to work for a longtime friend in OKC. American Biomedical Group Inc. is a couple organization with a technology group and military contacts for over 30 years. My office is in Ft Worth – so, no, I am not retired!!

The 2020 FWSSR show was very special for many reasons. First time for the steer show to be held in Will Rogers in over 60 years. First time for a Hereford breed champion in almost 40 years. It was my 40th year to serve as a Jr. Steer Show Superintendent. After serving on the Board of Directors of the FWSSR for 35 years, I joined a special group of less that 50 people and was elevated to an Honorary Vice President in the 2020 show. My relationship with the Stock Show started over 50 years ago when I showed my first steer here in 1969. Since that time, my son Perry and I have shown four species of livestock in about a dozen different divisions of the stock show. • Steers • Heifers • Scramble Heifers • Breeding Cattle • Commercial Heifer Sale • Market Barrows • Breeding Swine • Market Wether Goats • NCHA Cutting • Coors Cutting • Team Penning • Ranch Horse Versatility

I am currently a cow/calf producer but has also had a stocker operation and have been a cattle feeder in the Texas panhandle. For 4 years I was the Manager of the largest cattle marketing group in the country. Superior Livestock Auction in Ft Worth. Sell sold 1 million head of cattle/year.

FWSSR Steer Show & Showmanship

The FWSSR Steer Show is blessed to have a great group of Superintendents that all have special talents. Lawyers, bankers, lobbyists, business owners, ranchers and a couple of ex county agents! Obviously, we enjoy our job as volunteers because no one could

afford to buy this kind of help. Randy Upshaw and I have seen lots of changes in our 75 years of combined service as Steer Superintendents. From showing steers in what we call the Green Arena between the Cattle Barns to showing in Barn 6 (which was later replaced by the John Justin Arena) to the steer show being moved to Watt Arena from Justin and 2020 being moved to the Legendary Will Rogers Coliseum. Over the last 40 years I have had the privilege of working with about 60,000 kids and steers. During that time (knock on wood) I have only been kicked once! Got cow kicked in the hand once as a steer was walking by me. I am currently getting to help a third generation of young people show steers. The steers and kids have both changed, mostly for the better but some for the worse. The cattle are better because of the improved genetics in all breeds and crosses. At the same time the temperament for some of these cattle has changed for the worse. I bring this up because at the FWSSR the safety of your kids and steers are our #1 priority. This steers today are big and strong when compared to a 50 lb. 8-year-old girl! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure many people have heard my loud whistle to alert our announcer Terry Starnes that we have a loose steer so he can announce to the exhibitors to please be careful we have a steer loose in the arena. The whistle has always been my best and quickest way to alert the announcer. On occasion if a steer exhibits bad behavior and breaks free multiple times he will be excused from the arena. We are blessed in the State of Texas to have the greatest group of kids in the country. They are respectful, hardworking, kind and display great sportsmanship with their fellow exhibitors! An area where I have seen a decrease in the last 20 years is in showmanship skills. This is disturbing for me because when you have an arena full of good steers, the top ten places are in large part determined by showmanship! I have seen lots of good steers go out the back gate strictly because they were not presented properly. Showmanship is the one thing that every kid has 100% control over, and it should be worked on frequently. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about muscle memory for you and your steer.

2020 is a record year for the FWSSR in many ways!

As I have mentioned in the past, the FWSSR Steer Show Superintendents are a very unique group with many talents. Being a ring steward at an event like

My son Perry started his FWSSR volunteer service last year becoming a member of our Welcome Greeter group.

ours is more than just walking around and telling kids where to go. For our group, it’s all about giving every exhibitor the best opportunity to show their steer. It starts with talking with the judge and determining how he wants to have the cattle presented. Every judge is a little different but it’s our job to make his job as easy as possible. For example, some judges like to pull his top ten steers bottom to top and some top to bottom. We make sure that the judge has seen every steer at least 3 times before they are excused from the arena. Then most judges like to handle the steers and it is our responsibility to make sure he gets his hands on every steer if possible! Then comes the walk and the profile presentation. The judge may wish to walk them 2 or 3 times before his final pulls and placings of the class. During all this, Randy Upshaw and I, along with the other Superintendents are assisting the kids on the walk, profile, handle and final placing to ensure they are in the correct order. If we need to provide those young first-time exhibitors with a little extra help, we do that also. I’m sure some folks think Randy and I are perfectionist, but we try to give every exhibitor the opportunity to do their best! This perfection for me ties directly back to showmanship and its importance!!

I owned the Reserve Champion fullblood Chi bull at the HLSR in 1986

When I was in high school, I was fortunate to work at numerous local auction markets and ranches with veteran Cattleman and learned how to sort, drive and load trucks both horseback and own the ground. While Animal Behavior is a big deal now, back in the old days it was referred to as “cow sense.” Cattle and horses’ peripheral vision is very different than humans because their eyes are set on the corner of their face and not in front. Cattle and horses have both been domesticated but in the wild their nature reaction is “Flight or Fight”. When pressed, an animal’s first reaction is to move away from pressure. If they can’t relieve the pressure, then ultimately, they will fight. With this knowledge we can move cattle forward or side to side without ever touching the animal. The mere percussion of snapping your fingers or voice commands will move livestock. With a combined 75 years of working the ring together, Randy Upshaw and I have been blessed to learn most of the tricks of the trade when it comes to handling cattle! I’m in hopes that some of this has been helpful. I

BY: BRENDA BUCK, OK

In the early 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s we were running a handful of club calf cows when a show steer customer, Dr. Bob Morton, approached Jirl about partnering with him on a set of registered Maine-Anjou cows. Little did we know what effect that purchase would have on our future. When the first calves were born Jirl realized the demand for high quality show heifers was on the rise, and highquality Maine-Anjou cattle were in short supply. The commitment to the Maine business was wide open from there. We could not have found a better breed to be involved in than the MaineAnjou breed. The MaineAnjou people will always be our first cattle family. Jirl has served on the American Maine-Anjou Association

Board and we also served as the junior advisors for the Oklahoma Maine-Association for about ten years. We have so many fond memories with the Maine breed, especially all the junior national trips with the Moore family and many other customers through the years. In 1994, we decided to host our very first Fall Premier Sale in Lawton, Oklahoma to market our spring born females. In 1996, we had our first Spring Edition Sale to market our Fall born females. Both of those sales went well, taught us a lot, and showed us where we needed to improve. We celebrated our 25th Fall Premier Sale last October and we are gearing up for our 24th Spring Edition Sale in March, and we still strive to improve with each sale. In 2009, we purchased our first Hereford female at the National Sale in Denver, the following year we purchased a heifer in that same sale for Bailey to show. That female was our first taste of victory in the Hereford arena, she won the Junior National Hereford Expo, Reno, Kansas City, and Tulsa. We were hooked! Now, here we are ten years later with 300 plus Herefords. The Hereford breed is another breed we are fortunate to be a part of. The association and

Jirl and I were married in the fall of 1988, and with very little in our pockets we started our club calf business. I remember making flyers by hand, photocopying them, and taking them to local shows, events, etc. This was before home computers and graphic designs were a thing. Jirl and a few of his friends built our first show barn. He traded and clipped show steers and cattle around the country. During that time, he made several great

connections and worked alongside some of the most elite people in the business. Jirl partnered with Bobby May for several years selling show steers. He had the opportunity to be involved with many champion steers back then that he sold or helped prepare for the shows. There were many influential families that he worked with, which we credit for giving him the confidence that he could compete at every level, and the encouragement to make it on our own.

MARCH/APRIL 2020

IRL grew up on a small cow calf operation which mainly produced Limousin cattle and ran yearlings on grass in the summer. His family showed heifers and steers and was involved in 4-H and FFA. The highlight of Jirlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior show career was when his steer won a class at Oklahoma City his senior year. His dad, Bill Buck, was very talented at clipping and many people brought cattle to him to clip in the early days, as a result, Jirl learned some valuable skills at a very early age. He attended Murray State College and Oklahoma State University. It was during college that he had the opportunity to work for several top cattle producers including McKown Limousin, Magness Land & Cattle Co., American Cattle Services, Hal Courtney, and Ferris Ranch.

the breeders are all awesome people and we appreciate all they have done for us. There were several people that were very beneficial to our good start in the Hereford breed, but some of the key players that helped us were Jack Ward, Todd Herman, Jason Hoffman, Mark McClintock, and Kyle Colyer. We can’t thank them enough for their encouragement and advice.

The Buck family has always been a huge fan of rodeo and has always had numerous connections to people in the rodeo business. With that background and Jirl’s interest in bucking bulls, the local veterinarian, Dr Ken Carlson, introduced Jirl to Dillon Page. The timing could not have been more perfect because the bucking bull industry had just formed a registry and was set to begin competitions for the bulls. The Page’s had been in the business for many years and had one of the top breeding programs. Jirl persuaded Dillon to do embryo transplant work on a few of his elite females. The offspring from those embryos is how the D&H and Buck partnership began. D&H Cattle had the elite genetics and Jirl began helping them with their production sales and marketing. The Pages are partners, but more like family, they simply have the best genetics and strive to be better every day. We are not directly involved with the daily management of the bucking bulls. We run a group

of the cows on our place, but the bulls are all managed by D&H Cattle. D&H hosts three sales annually marketing bulls, bred females, and pairs. We have been fortunate to have been involved in many of the great bulls D&H has had over the past 17 years. No doubt, the most noted bull we have ever owned is Sweet Pro’s Bruiser. Bruiser is the Who’s Who of the Bucking Bull Business. He was the World Champion Classic Bull, 3X PBR Bucking Bull of the Year, and PRCA Bucking Bull of the Year. On an interesting note, Bruiser’s grandam was the very first bucking bull cow we purchased. Buck Cattle Company runs 450 cows and produces Maine-Anjou, Hereford, and bucking bulls. We host two annual production sales in March and October. We also have several online sales throughout the year. Our bulls and groups of bred females are marketed at private treaty. We are involved in this industry because we love the challenge of producing superior cattle and the awesome feeling of seeing those cattle work for our customers, whether in the show ring or in production. The junior program has always been a priority for our operation, there is no better program in the world for young people. They learn responsibility, sportsmanship, work ethic, communication

skills, and are exposed to the best people in the world. Even if they don’t remain in the cattle business, they have learned skills to help them be successful in life. Our goal when we began was to develop a team spirit with our exhibitors in our show barn, and we have been fortunate to work with many great families who are part of our team.

Bailey grew up in the show barn. She had a love for cows from the start. She would ride her tricycle from our house over to the barn and park in her “parking spot”

MARCH/APRIL 2020

There are far too many people that have influenced our lives to mention them all. No doubt the most influential would be Jirl’s parents. They believe in God, family values, hard work, and having a good name. The outfits Jirl worked for all had a part in directing his life and he was fortunate to have worked with top quality programs. Some people within the industry that definitely deserve recognition are; Bobby May, Mark Copus, Steve Bonham, John Boddicker, Jim Pannell, Ronnie Glover, Dr. Bob Morton, Dr. J Butler, Jerry Gibson, and Scott Manley. Many of those same guys are responsible for our success, however, we wouldn’t be where we are today without Matt Scasta, Davey Young, Ethan Moore, Craig Moore, Brett Carter, Jeremy Clark, and many others.

next to the guys’ trucks and feed trucks. She started showing around age six and attended her first Jr. National Maine-Anjou Show in 2000 in Enid, Oklahoma. She showed her steer named Scooby. Scooby did not win that year but that class ribbon she received was just enough to spark her competitive spirit. She attended every Jr. National Maine-Anjou show from 2000-2014. She enjoyed competing in the contests, as well as, showing her cattle. She also served on the Junior National MaineAnjou Association Board as a director and also as President. She began showing Herefords in 2009 and concluded her junior career in 2015 with Champion Polled Hereford female and Reserve Champion Horned Hereford female at the JNHE. Such an awesome way to end your junior show career! Her time spent in the barn, in the show ring, and serving on the junior board was significant in getting her where she is today. She will graduate medical school this May, but her work ethic and determination were put into motion many years ago. During her interview for medical school the panel of doctors were more interested in her show cattle career than what she knew about medicine. Before the interview was over, she ended up showing them cattle pictures on her phone and explaining to them all that went into preparing a heifer

for show day. Bailey is still very involved in our cattle business. She spends time at the ranch when she’s home and shows for us at open shows when her schedule allows. We have always had many goals and we are blessed beyond measure to have reached many of them. Our goals for the future involve improving the quality of our cattle, expanding our marketing, supporting the youth programs, and hopefully to be debt free someday. We appreciate all who have helped us along the way including our customers, our crew, and the good Lord above. •

*Fun Fact: The judge in Jirl’s 1975 photo is Dr. Bob Kropp. He became Jirl’s advisor at OSU then became Bailey’s advisor at OSU just before his retirement.

NO; THE TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE ON EARTH I MEAN ARE THE PEOPLE WHO LIFT AND THE PEOPLE WHO LEAN.

NOT THE SINNER AND SAINT, FOR IT’S WELL UNDERSTOOD.

NOT THE HUMBLE AND PROUD, FOR IN LIFE’S LITTLE SPAN, WHO PUTS ON VAIN AIRS, IS NOT COUNTED A MAN. NOT THE HAPPY AND SAD, FOR THE SWIFT FLYING YEARS BRING EACH MAN HIS LAUGHTER AND EACH MAN HIS TEARS.

AND ODDLY ENOUGH, YOU WILL FIND, TOO, I WEEN, THERE’S ONLY ONE LIFTER TO TWENTY WHO LEAN. IN WHICH CLASS ARE YOU? ARE YOU EASING THE LOAD OF OVERTAXED LIFTERS WHO TOIL DOWN THE ROAD? OR ARE YOU A LEANER WHO LETS OTHERS BEAR YOUR PORTION OF LABOR AND WORRY AND CARE? - ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

Definitely a hot weather girl. I would much rather go to a show while the weather is warm than a show that is -20. Major shows are by far my favorite as my family and I put all our work and dedication into these shows. We push to have our animals as ready as possible going to the show. Another thing that I like about major shows is seeing all my friends from around the country and getting together with them. I would much rather text than call. As many times it’s just a short quick answer that I need.

BY: BROOKLYN CURTIN, IA

My name is Brooklyn Curtin and I’m from Oxford, Iowa. I started showing cattle when I was nine years old. Showing is a passion and lifestyle that we choose for our family. My parents are Travis and Mindy Curtin. I have a brother Tanner and a sister Sloane who also show cattle, and are a huge part of my success. We know that as a family if we want to be successful than we have to put in the time and work needed on all our animals. I currently am President of both the American Junior Chianina Board and the Iowa Junior Beef Breeds Board. My involvement in these boards is important to me because I am passionate about our youth in the cattle industry. I strive to make each and every shows the best one yet for all juniors. I will graduate in May of this year and plan to attend Iowa State University majoring in Ag education with a teaching certificate with the intent to become an Ag teacher. I am excited about my show stock I have for this year and hope to make it a great show season.

BY: JENNIFER BRUNS, TX

every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. 15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.” Just like the tiny seed of the weeds, bitterness can start off as something

Ephesians 4:29-32 teaches us “29

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” God knows what is best for us, and He teaches us that not only does bitterness hurt ourselves more than anyone else, but it also causes us to

lose credibility as a Christian. We are to shine with light and love, but if we hold bitterness in our heart about something, this light will dim. If bitterness is something that you are struggling with, take time out of your day to pray about it. Pray for the person or the situation that is causing these feelings inside of your heart. God will give you the strength to overcome any situation.

Romans 12:21 says, “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Taking the high road in all situations and showing love to someone that has done us wrong, is the example God wants us to be as Christians. Once you’ve prayed about it, try saying something kind or doing something good for the person that hurt you. Even if you are rejected, being gentle and kind will help cure your heart. It is a choice. The natural thing to do is stay bitter and angry, but making the decision to overcome these feelings will restore the joy in your heart. This spring as the weeds shoot up, take a minute to ask yourself if there are any bitter roots growing in your heart that you need to let go of. You’ll feel so much better once they are gone. •

203 THE SHOWTIMES

Hebrews 12:14-15 reads “14 Make

very small, but if you don’t pray about it and deal with it, it can fester and grow, blocking out the light that shines in your heart as a Christian. If the bitterness is caused by something huge, such as the loss of a loved one, your parents getting divorced, or a betrayal by a good friend, you might feel like you are entitled to be bitter and angry, but the Bible tells us something different. Always remember what Jesus went through on the cross and the example He gave us to get your problems in perspective.

MARCH/APRIL 2020

othing is worse than putting a new bale of hay out for your animals and seeing that it’s full of weeds. It is springtime in Texas and things are starting to green back up. Along with the grass slowly coming back, the weeds seem to shoot up faster than anything. These weeds didn’t just start growing in the spring. They started off as small seeds or roots under the ground and have been soaking up nutrients all winter, just waiting for spring to come. It’s important to get after them and get them under control, before they start choking out the grass and taking over the fields. Just like these weeds, we need to make sure that we don’t have any bitter roots growing inside our hearts.

“IF YOU CAN DREAM IT, YOU CAN DO IT.”

MARCH/APRIL 2020 229 THE SHOWTIMES

Now that I can no longer exhibit in the Junior Shows at the National Western Stock Show, I want to be there to cheer my sister and others on so that they can achieve their dreams, because no dream is too big when you pour all your hard work and dedication into something you love. •

National Western Stock Show

A month later, and it still doesn’t seem real. I will never be able to put into words what it feels like to win the Steer Show at the 2020 National Western Stock Show. The Grand Slap, the Judges handshakes, the hugs and congratulations from so many! We all know how everyone says to follow your dreams, but sometimes those dreams seem out of reach. I’m here to tell you that no dream is out of reach when you put your heart and soul into something you care about. My dreams came true while I was exhibiting at my last Denver. With this being so bittersweet for me already, the end result was that much more exciting. For me to experience this win with my family by my side is like none other. Winning the Market Steer Show in Denver has been at the top of my bucket list since I began showing, or even to just have a steer on the green carpet in the Grand Drive. I remember walking out on the carpet that night, and I cannot even explain how that feels to receive that slap. I still do not think that it has completely set in for me or my family. Growing up, my family has always been my greatest supporters, and to have this win on my last year to exhibit out there with my family behind me is unexplainable. I am and will be forever grateful for the opportunity I was given through this industry that has taught me everything I know.

Hi, my name is ALLI STROMBERGER, I am 16 years old from Iliff, Colorado. This is my eighth year in 4-H, but my love for showing pigs began with my older sister Brooke. She started showing pigs and loved it, so we turned my dad’s steer barn into a pig barn. As our love for show pigs grew, we traveled to more shows. Currently we go to our county and state fairs, jackpots, Aksarben, American Royal, Arizona National, and National Western Stock Show. When the time came to get baby pigs for National Western, I was really excited. I knew this time would be different because Brooke was now too old to show, but my little sister Bailey would be showing

Monsters’ turn to show was coming closer, I had already shown another pig, but I was still really nervous. My dad and I headed up to the holding ring with Monster and I thought I was going to get sick. I walked into the showring and got penned right away. After passing the weigh back, I turned him around and it was go time. As I kept showing, I was just as nervous as before. There were some of the best pigs I’d ever seen in that class and when it came down to the top two, I couldn’t believe I was one of them. Mr. Winters then went to the mic and talked about his recent ski trip and how going down the slopes was like showing. As he wrapped up his speech, stating that he was

going to use the best pig he has ever seen as a judge and then shook my hand, I was overwhelmed with emotions. I couldn’t believe I just won that class. I took Monster back to his pen and high fived many people and hugged my family members as we were overwhelmed with emotion. Time passed and I was in the ring again for champion heavyweight, and then champion cross. After winning those two, I was so shocked. I couldn’t believe that it was happening to me. Later that evening as I walked out of the pig barn onto the red carpet to go into the arena, I was surrounded by my family and many friends. When my name was announced

I was overwhelmed by the amount of support from the crowd. I began to realize that my show dream was coming true. I WAS WALKING ONTO THE GREEN CARPET AT NATIONAL WESTERN STOCK SHOW! Next Mr. Winters said, “Please help me congratulate the crossbred on being your champion.” As I heard these words, I burst into tears. Not only was this my dream, it was also my family’s, and it was a reality. Without family and friends, that day would not have been the same. The support I felt from everyone that day was amazing. That week was one of the best in my life! •

THE SHOWTIMES

for the first time. When Monster (NWSS Grand) first came into my barn I knew he was special - by far the best baby pig I have started with and in addition, he was very easy to feed and loved to eat! However, he was always very vocal and loud, squealing most days when training him to show and exercising. Upon arrival at NWSS, Monster was eating well and finally acting great for me. Each morning we arrived at the barn by 6 a.m. and got to work- weighing, walking, washing, feeding, and preparing to show until we left for the hotel at 9pm. On the night before the show I couldn't sleep much, so when my alarm went off at 4:30am I was ready to get up and get going. As

Winning a National show has been a lifetime dream. We as a family have talked about for a long time. When it happened it was surreal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a feeling I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t describe. It was definitely a dream come true.

MARCH/APRIL 2020 261 THE SHOWTIMES

While my roots run deep in the agriculture industry, my love for the industry truly began when I was eight years old with my first steer, Ace.

Holly Thomas

Hey everyone, my name is from Gatesville, Texas. I grew up on a 1,500 acre ranch with my parents, Jody and Robin Thomas,

MARCH/APRIL 2020

and my two older siblings, Katie and Zach Thomas. My family runs a commercial cowcalf operation, along with owning two livestock auction barns.

It’s hard to come up with the words that do justice about how I feel about this industry. The lessons and opportunities I have gained from being involved in the livestock industry are priceless. I am the person I am today because of this incredible industry and all of the people I have met along the way. The friends I have made throughout the last 10 years from showing are true life-long friends. They are dependable, loving, and supportive; which basically sums up the livestock industry as a whole. They have been there for me through it all, through the ups and downs, and I have never questioned the support I had behind me. Going into this year was bittersweet, knowing it was my senior year. I definitely have had high standards for myself in the past and had big goals, but this year I knew I just wanted to enjoy every second of my last ride, whether I accomplished my goals or not. While I’ve had a lot of steers over the years, I must say that my Hereford steer, “Dave”, from Open Bar was without a doubt one of my favorite steers. Preparing for Fort Worth for the last time, my nerves were at their highest. While I never doubted the quality of my steer, I would have never imagined what happened that week. Simply put, I would have been overjoyed with just branding a steer at the legendary steer show. However, I was blessed beyond belief to do much, much more. When Dr. Mullinix pulled me off the walk, the journey had just begun. Winning my class was an accomplishment in itself, allowing me to participate in the Hereford drive. When people ask me how it feels to be the Reserve Grand Steer at the Fort Worth Livestock show, I truly don’t know how to respond. Frankly, I am still in awe of this seemingly far-fetched dream

coming true. If I could give one piece of advice to exhibitors who have time left in this industry, it would be to take everything in and be grateful for every little moment. Before Fort Worth I had never won a class at a major show, so when I was first in my class I was hit with emotions. It was an incredible feeling to know that I not only just won my class but won my class at the most competitive show in the nation. To know that I had a shot at winning the Hereford breed, I just didn’t think it could get any better than this. When I walked into the grand drive, I looked around and soaked in every last moment knowing that it was my last year. When Ryder Day won, I was extremely happy because I knew there was not a more deserving kid and family to receive the highest honor and make history in the steer show world. I didn’t think it was possible for two Herefords to win Fort Worth, so when I got the reserve grand champion slap, I knew my dream had come true. I took it one step at a time and I never expected what came my way and that’s what made that moment so special. None of my accomplishments would have been made possible without the support of people scattered all across the country. First and foremost, thank you to my mom for always supporting me, loving me and always putting in 100% because you want to see me succeed. Thank you to the rest of my family for supporting me all my endeavors. A huge thank you to Cade and Chase Waldrip for everything you guys do, helping me with my cattle and so much more. It means more to me than y’all will ever know. Thank you to Open Bar, the Horn family, Kirby Eaves, Eric Draeger, Brock Welshans, everyone else involved with the calf and who helps behind the scenes. None of it would have been possible without you. I want to leave you with a few thoughts. If at any point difficult times present themselves to you, always remember true success comes from inspiring others and it only takes you believing in yourself to capture whatever dreams you may have. •

My name is Maddie Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary and I am a junior at Brock High School in Brock, Texas. I am active in track, student council, NHS, and FFA. I live with my parents, Jeff and Maggie, and siblings Gabby and Kaegan in Brock, a small town in Parker County west of Fort Worth. Brock has a long tradition of winning and excellence. I am very blessed to live in a community like Brock. My family and I show steers at Texas majors and Hereford heifers at the Junior National Hereford Expos and the National Western Stock Show.

the 2020 San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo. It was one of the most humbling and blessed events of our lives. Foo did everything we asked of him every day at home and at the show. He had the heart of a champion. When Dr. Hoge and Mr. Boyert slapped my steer, it was one of the most amazing moments of my life! I haven’t stopped smiling. But the best part of it all was getting to have my mom down on the rodeo arena

floor with me and going back to the barn and celebrating with everyone on our team! There are so many people who have helped my family and I: my grandparents, Bruce and Deb Ivey, Ray O’Leary and Jean O’Leary, as well as Bob and Brock May, Dave and Marcia DeLong, Tom and Mandy Hawk and the entire DeLHawk crew, Adam and Kara Potts family, Brandon and Brek Horn family, Brock Ag teachers Dave Marcath,

Mark Sullivan and Laura Horner, 4-H agent Kayla Neill, Reece Hagan and the entire team at Jeffs Cattle Company. We would also like to thank the Reimann Family who raised Foo. I feel incredibly blessed. None of this would be possible without God. I am thankful to wake up each day and do what I love. Someday the banners will fade but to me this project is all about the journey and the people I

get to share it with. Winning the San Antonio steer show was a dream come true for my family and I. We got to share it with special people who have become family to us. To Kirby and Kelsi Eaves, Seth Hammermeister and Tony and Brandy Jeffs… There are no words to express my feelings towards y’all and I will remember that night the rest of my life. I will never be able to thank you enough for giving me the chance to own and show Foo. •

“THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE; LET US REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT.”

It’s easy to get swept away in a world that likes to focus on negative things. Just scroll through your social media or news outlet and there is no shortage of Bad News or Negative Stories from politics, weather, war, or sickness. It becomes easy to overlook all of the amazing, wonderful and happy things that happen all around us. The warmth of spring after a long winter, the first steps of a newborn calf, a successful sale, the well-earned champion slap that you have worked hard all year for. There is so much God gives us to rejoice in.

stories highlight the good things in the World.

Walking through the Barns of Fort Worth for the first time in a year I was greeted by excited smiles and sincere hugs from friends that live a world away from me. It made me remember the reasons why I do what I do. There are so many amazing people, families and ranches in this industry with unique stories that we have the privilege to get to share their stories to the world. Their

Laurie Reid Owner

Take a minute every day to focus and share something good. Fill your social media with something that gives you a reason to be glad in the day given to you. It can be as simple as a beautiful sunrise, time with friends or family, to the innocence of a newborn baby calf. It’s the little things in life that make you see all the good. •

“God, you have blessed me indeed as the child I love has a child I love with all that is within me. I pray that in your mercy you watch over and protect my grandchildren as you have always done for me. May their lives be long and healthy. May they have the courage to follow their dreams and should the day come when I am no longer on this earth with them, may they look back upon me with fond memories and may they never forget that they were and always will be deeply loved by me.” -Jane Craft

A GRANDPARENTS PRAYER

We would like to welcome Raegan Judith Lautner, born August 23, 2019 @ 10:11 pm 7.5 lbs 19 ¾ in long, to Chance & Christy Lautner. I’m not good with words but this poem says it all! – Phil Lautner RICK FRYE was a well-known cattleman from Independence, IA. Rick passed away unexpectedly on Nov. 7th 2019. Lautner Farms purchased the sire Many Choices from Rick in 2015. Rick raised many high sellers and show winners sired out of LF sires.

STAN ACKERMAN worked many years for Lautner Farms. Stan later worked for Kirk Roecker, then Goretska Show Steers. Stan passed away unexpectedly June 10th 2019 at his home in Chariton, IA. LF will always remember all the good times we shared with Stan, there will never be an Arizona National’s, Ohio Beef Expo, or National Western Stock Show quite the same without “Stan The Man”.

As we are blessed with the birth of “RJ” the year 2019 has also brought many losses to the cattle industry.

Lord Only Knows was thought to be a Front & Center for most of his life but, upon DNA testing to him and seven other Lautner Farms bulls we came up with nothing conclusive. I guess that is where the term immaculate conception came about. What I do know is this is a darn good TH and PHA Free bull. Don’t be shy, rare back and take a chance!!

This is one long necked, level topped, square hipped, good looking bull that sure doesn’t disappoint when you step behind him. What makes this bull stand out is how smooth made he is from his shoulder to his hip when studying him from the side. In combination with all of that he also possesses a square big hip in him. When Strike Back is on the move, he is very up headed and strides out as good as any. Strike Back should be on everyone’s list when wanting to make smooth made, sound calves is the priority.

We loaded up our car and drove to Dunlap, Iowa with four kids in just marginal weather for one reason, to look at this bull. Let us introduce you to Something About Mary aka “SAM,” one of the most complete and prolific Simmental bulls we have seen in a long time. His pedigree, Relentless (Utah x 8543U) x JBSF Proud Mary (High Regard x Steel Magnolia), just solidifies the ability to transmit maternal, in fact it shouts it! Proud Mary owns as many ribbons as any female in the breed, she is big ribbed, big footed, and beautiful, she produces as good as she looks! This is a pedigree we put 100% confidence in. Owned with Sullivan Farms and Osborne Cattle ENT.
