Dam of Data Bank

3/4 Sister to Data Bank

No I-80, no Ali and he works awesome on those pedigree's! Data Bank is extremely well balanced smooth made individual that has an undeniably great look. He hails from some of the greatest cow families in the breed who have shown their power in the show ring but most importantly in the pasture. In an era when the search for a purebred Maine option has been somewhat limited Data Bank is the answer. He is awesome footed, smooth jointed and is athletic as you can make a mature bull, he's square made and extremely soft middled. Look for his offspring to compete and perform at the highest levels and carry on a great family tradition.

DO YOU WANT TO BE IN THE SHOWTIMES MAGAZINE?

he Showtimes is excited to be a part of the journey of the people we cover. New generations take over the family farms, children become parents and dreamers become doers.

This Junior National Edition of the magazine is a prime example showcasing not only the next generation of the livestock industry but the generations to come.

Hall of Fame inductees Amy Cowan and Lindsey Broek [feature starting on page 36] are exemplar illustrations of how the next generations are raising the bar.

With roots based in agriculture, they have worked their way up to where they are now. Not only do they run two of the best junior breed programs in the world, but they are continuously making them better. With Amy and Lindsey at the reigns of the Hereford and Maine-Anjou Junior Programs, the future is bright.

Another prime example displayed in this issue of how the next generation is making an impact is one of the men behind the curtain at Sullivan Supply. As the head of New Product Development for the company, James Sullivan is very instrumental in the design and creation of the new products highlighted in the S/S pullout. Just like Amy and Lindsey, James [a Showtimes Hall of Fame Member] is taking something he grew up

loving and putting his own twist on it.

Our roll in this continuous cycle is to cover those that are stepping up to the plate and using their skills and passion within the industry. It seems to take no time at all for the 10-yearold being featured at a Junior National to suddenly being the #1 All American Junior Collegiate Livestock Judger [see feature on P.D. Miller on page 245]. That same individual also received one of our Showtimes Scholarships at the Blackout 3.

This issue includes a Junior National Preview [starting on page 271], where we not only provide information on all of this Summer’s shows, but also contains exclusive articles by Junior Breed Presidents/Chairmen. These are the generations to come. We can’t wait to see which direction they take the industry.

The days are long, but the years are short. We look forward to covering the livestock industry for generations to come. Whether you are 8, 18 or 80 remember...“Anything you want to, do it...wanta change the world?

There’s nothing to it.”

DIRECTOR OF YOUTH ACTIVITIES FOR THE AMERICAN HEREFORD ASSOCIATION SHARES HER STORY.

BY AMY COWAN, MO

age of seven and I have watched them grow up and pass down their maroon jackets as they give their retiring addresses and complete their terms on the junior board. With each graduating class, I so enjoy seeing members of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) and other industry friends achieve these special milestones in their young lives.

As the director of youth activities and foundation for the AHA my days are spent building programs, organizing events, mentoring the junior members of the Hereford breed, and in the end creating opportunities for them to become future leaders of this great industry we all grew up in.

I often talk to high school students and even college students who are undecided about what their future holds. For many years I was going to follow my mom’s footsteps in the dental field and be a hygienist. And right up until the end of my senior

year, I was positive I wanted to be a nurse. Isn’t it funny how our past experiences, coupled with the people we meet along the way, quickly change one’s mind as to what the future holds and the places we will go.

As a youth, I had a very similar path as many of you. I grew up on my family’s farm in Northwest Iowa.

We raised everything from corn and soybeans, to cattle, pigs and sheep.

My high school did not have a FFA program, but I grew up in 4-H and am so thankful for all the places 4-H took me. “Ferd” was the first steer I ever showed and how ironic that he was a Hereford from my Grandpa Clow. I spent my summers helping on the farm, riding horses and working on my 4-H projects in preparation for the county and state fairs. My brother and I were the third generation of the Cowan family to raise Shorthorns and Cowan Cattle Company gave me the first taste of this industry that I love,

eflecting on my career at the American Hereford Association (AHA) and the places it has taken me, I can’t help but remember high school graduation day and sitting down to read a book I received from a dear friend. The message in Dr. Seuss’s inspirational piece, Oh, the Places You’ll Go, struck a chord with me that day and has motivated me many times since. “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.”

took me many places over the years and introduced me to some of my very best of friends.

My junior and senior years I took the opportunity presented to me and competed on the livestock judging team. Not having had any judging

In the spring of my senior year, a door opened for me at the American Hereford Association and one phone interview later I had the job and was moving to Kansas City. Time flies when you are having fun, and it is hard for me to believe that June 1st will mark my 19th year working for the association and serving our membership. While I have had a wide variety of job titles and responsibilities through out my Hereford timeline, none have been more fulfilling than my current duties and serving as the director of youth activities and my involvement with the Hereford Youth Foundation of America.

Tonight as I finish this article, we

None of the places I have been would be near the same without the people I have encountered and worked with along the way. Day in and day out I am in complete awe of the support that my Hereford family and livestock industry have for our Hereford youth programs. Together we have worked hard to provide more scholarship opportunities, to create more effective leadership programs and to build the Junior National Hereford Expo into one of the best in the world. All this, so the next generation can continue to move mountains.

The youth of the livestock industry are definitely going places and I consider myself lucky to get to be just a small part on some of your journeys. My Dad taught me at a young age to follow my dreams and I think he would be proud of the places those dreams are taking me. My advice to you as your life happens… look ONWARD and look UPWARD and like all of us in American agriculture strive to do each day, work hard to leave your space in a better place than you found it. I look forward to seeing you all down the road and at the next place.

“Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... get on your way!” Dr. Seuss •

College days were some of the best years of my life, and still today, when fall rolls around, there is a part of me that would like to be headed back to Brookings to catch up with the crew. I was involved in a variety of clubs and activities at SDSU and as part of my work-study program worked in the meat lab, giving me hands on experience in that part of the industry and customer service.

I was very active in Block and Bridle, Little International and the Rodeo Club, where I served as the business manager for the Jack Rabbit Stampede. These activities exposed me to all kinds of event planning and fundraising scenarios and from these experiences I developed a passion for marketing and orchestrating events.

I was fortunate enough to land an internship at the American Shorthorn Association (ASA) between my junior and senior year and that was an awesome learning experience for me getting to work and learn alongside ASA and Shorthorn Country staff members. After a summer at the ASA headquarters and playing a big part in that year’s national junior show and helping to pull together the pages of the magazine, I realized I was doing what I loved.

are wrapping up the early bird entry deadline for the upcoming Junior National Hereford Expo that will take place in Louisville. As I watch the entries roll in on my computer screen and experience the excitement that surrounds getting ready for the junior national for exhibitors and their families from across the country, it definitely makes the years of planning, all the fundraising and all the efforts that go into an event of this magnitude so worth my while.

MAY/JUNE 2017

I graduated from high school in 1993 and from there I was off to South Dakota State University (SDSU). It was at the freshman orientation career fair that I met the SDSU livestock judging team coach at the time and had a chance to visit with her about opportunities in the college of agriculture. I remember rehashing the day’s events with Dad on our way home from Brookings, and the fact that I could take my love for agriculture and turn it into a career path seemed too good to be true. That day, Dad encouraged me to follow my heart and it didn’t take me long to realize that SDSU was the place for me and just like that I had decided to major in ag journalism and animal science.

experience other than placing a few classes at the county fair, I will never forget how nervous I was to give my first set of reasons and how out of my league I knew I was. But, I stepped out of my comfort zone and had a huge mountain to climb.

Judging was definitely the highlight for me at SDSU and I truly believe it is what opened up my career door and taught me a whole lot about not only livestock, but, life in general. There is not a week that goes by that I don’t use a skill set I acquired from competing on the judging team, not to mention the friendships and networks I built that led me to the next places.

My favorite Junior Nationals was...

My favorite Jr. Nationals was the 2007 Denver Jr. Nationals. The heifer that won Grand Champion was a choice lot in our female sale and wasn’t picked. A local kid purchased her as his family was both great friends and purchased bulls from us. The heifer went on to win Reserve Grand Champion in Denver.

If I could have a show anywhere it would be...

Denver... it’s central and easy to get to.

My biggest pet peeve is...

At a show my biggest pet peeve is people who spend more time worrying about everyone else’s cattle instead of their own.

If I could have dinner with any person (both past or present) it would be...

The late Jerry Hawkins who was my Jr. College Judging team coach. I never took the opportunity to thank him for all he did for me.

My most memorable win was...

My most memorable win was at the 2007 Denver Stock Show as we had the Grand and Reserve Grand

Females. We had sold both heifers a few days before the show and they won.

I could not live without...

My family.

If I could relive one moment it would be...

There’s a lot of special memories I have, but I think every day my kids are healthy is an unbeatable moment.

My favorite movie is...

Lonesome Dove.

The person I look up to the most is...

My Dad... he might not realize it as we are partners and work together every day. When you’re around someone everyday sometimes you lose sight of how really important someone is to you.

You will not find me at a show without...

My wedding ring and my phone (as bad as it sounds!) as there is a lot that happens outside of the show and my phone allows me to take care of things outside of the show.

Folks once again it’s time for Junior National cattle shows and that means it’s time to pack your bags and hit the road! Don’t look back, if you do you might miss a chance to eat and I’m not about to miss a meal! I’m going to start at the Chi/Maine Junior National in Hutchinson, Kansas. I have come to depend on ‘Bogey’s Diner’ for a good old fashion burger. The Blue Dragon may not be old fashion but it is dang sure good and something you can’t get just anywhere you go. This place has been around for about 30 years and that speaks large to me. They must be doing something right. The food, the service and the affordable prices make it a place to take a group of hungry kids to satisfy their craving for some good ole food.

The next place in Hutchinson is one you might trip over if you’re not careful and the would be ‘Skaets Steak Shop.’ Located just outside the walk-in gate at the fairgrounds it’s hard to miss. This is another place that’s not fancy just plain good! Dating back to 1949 it’s what I would call a landmark standing the test of time. I recommend the burgers and fries. It is hard to beat a good burger unless it’s fried chicken, and I’m finding my way to that in this tour, just not in Hutchinson!

The next stop on the Junior Nationals tour for me would be the Junior National Hereford Expo in Louisville, Kentucky.

This brings me to the number 2 place in all my travels that I like to dine at when I’m on the road. That would be “The Cottage

Inn” in Louisville. I’m thinking if you were to look up comfort food in the dictionary you would find a picture of The Cottage Inn beside it. I have never had a bad meal at this place from the burgers, pork chops and THE FRIED CHICKEN - this place is the bomb when it comes to just good food. Oh, did I fail mention after the daily lunch specials and the fried chicken livers, the homemade pies and cakes are to die for if you manage to save room for them! The next place I will frequent while I’m in Louisville is kind of a stretch for me and that would be ‘Spinelli’s Pizzeria.’ I’m not a big fan of pizza, but this place is a little different than the typical chain restaurant. You can custom order your pizza with the toppings the way you like it or you can purchase it by the slice and not have a bunch of leftovers to deal with if you don’t have help putting it away.

I’m thinking I’ve shared enough of my hole in the wall places for now, so please feel free to try them out and let me know what you think.

Once again, don’t be stingy - you can share some of your favorite places to dine with me!

And don’t forget you can get on the Showtimes APP to look up other places to dine. I look forward to seeing everyone down the road, so safe travels and take care. •

Get Hair Growth Fast “I used ProHair100 for the last few months with great success.

I noticed how the hair stayed softer, had more bloom and had tremendous hair growth in a shorter period of time on a steer that was light on hair when starting ProHair100.

I recommend this product to anyone who asks.”

JOE SHARES HIS STORY.

BY JOE HERR, IA

was born on February 3, 1999.

Since that day, I've been highly involved in agriculture. My family farm consists of 4,000 acres of row crop (corn and beans) and a 150-head cow calf operation. I have two siblings, an older brother, Kody, and a younger sister, Annie.

My Parents are Clel and Lori Herr. I am currently a senior and Nodaway Valley High School and plan to graduate and continue to pursue

a degree in Agribusiness at Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC). After college, I plan to come home and continue my time on the farm with my family.

Ever since I was 3 I've been on the end of the halter. The first time I ever showed was in Sioux Falls, South Dakota in the fat steer show there. Since that day, I've been hooked. I have been very fortunate to have met some highly respected people in the industry along the way. Kirk Stierwalt, Tracy Goretska, and Wade Rodgers are just a few. Without people like them I wouldn't be where I am today. They've taught me everything from how to spray a can of adhesive to how to be a

respectful and responsible young adult. There are so many people in this industry that have made an impact on me and I wouldn't want it any other way. Showing has been my life for the last 15 years and it will continue to be for a long, long time.

I cannot thank my family enough for all their help and everything they've done for me to this point.

Showing is truly a family thing and without them there is no way it could all get done. I encourage everyone to tell someone who has made an impact on your showing career a simple "thanks" because a little bit of respect goes a long way in this industry. •

GIRVIN CROSSING INDUSTRY LINES.

While the Grady Family has made a name for themselves in the livestock industry with Mikayla exhibiting the Grand or Reserve Steer or Hog at Arizona National, the National Western Stock Show, Fort Worth and Rodeo Austin this year alone, they were not in Texas on May 7th. Rather, they were in Louisville Kentucky for the 143rd Kentucky Derby. Girvin, the horse in the number 7 slot in the Run for the Roses is owned by Brad Grady. It was not only a big weekend for the family, but exciting for the livestock industry as a whole to have one of their own to cheer on! •

beyond the backdrop

H

i, my name is Harley Sargent.

I am 18-yearsold and I am a senior this year.

I have been showing since I was 8 years old and have been very blessed over those 10 year. This year I was fortunate enough to win Supreme Champion Heifer at Austin, Champion ORB at Austin and Champion Shorthorn at Austin, San

GOING OUT WITH A BANG!

HARLEY ENDS HER JUNIOR TEXAS SHOW CAREER ON TOP. Antonio, and Houston. These wins were very very special to me but they are also bitter sweet because this was my last year to be able to participate in the Junior Texas shows. I could not have asked for my senior year to have gone any better. I am very thankful for everything I accomplished but I could not have done it without everyone involved. I would like to thank my family and friends the most.

They are the ones that are always there for me and constantly encourage me to chase my dreams to the fullest. A few certain people I would like to

thank are my parents, Jeff and Kim Sargent - they are the ones who make it possible for me to do what I do.

Then Chris Ellason (Big Chief), who has been there since day one. Without them this would have never been accomplished. Other contributors to my support team are Bill and Becky Rasor, Blake Madewell, Jeff Jackson, and Bruce Lawrence. One thing I will always cherish about the livestock industry is the friends that have turned into family - they are second to none and are what make this lifestyle so enjoyable. •

A

t eight years old I walked into our county extension building and sat down only to find 4 candy bars sitting on a table.

This was my first "judging class." If I remember right the placing was Snickers, Milky Way, Twix, and then rounding out the class was the 100 Grand; at least that's how I saw them! Now while this has little to no practical application within the livestock judging world, this was simple exercise and the moment when a shy, quiet, Wyoming boy fell in love with forming opinions, defending my placings and working to enhance my speaking abilities.

For those of you that haven't been to Goshen County, or Torrington, Wyoming, let me put it this way; you either

raise cattle, row crops, or work at the sugar factory. It's a town of five thousand people, surrounded by grassy plains, a river that cuts through town and a miles and miles of corn in the summer time. For me, I was beyond fortunate to be raised on M Lazy Heart Ranch, my family-owned operation that raises 300 show steers and heifers a year and runs a 7500 head cattle feedlot.

My parents and family friend Brad Linton helped raise and teach me alongside my younger brother, Skyler, and my younger sister, Paige. The benefits of growing up with agriculture first-hand were priceless and it instilled in me a passion for the business and the importance of dedicated, hard work. At six years old I showed my first steer at the Wyoming state fair. From there on, I showed heifers, hogs, sheep and goats competitively across the country. This is what inevitably led me to develop connections and relationships with industry professionals from all over and ultimately inspired me to set big goals and dream big.

I don't know how many times I've told this story, but I remember being ten years old and walking out of the show ring at the Colorado State Fair only to tell my mother that one day I wanted my opinion to be the one that counted and one day I wanted to judge every major steer and heifer show in the country.

After setting this goal I continued my judging career through 4-H and FFA where I quickly realized perseverance and a focused attitude paid off, winning my state 4H contest as just an eighth grader then going on to be recognized as an All American at Louisville as a freshmen in high school. Sophomore year, my FFA chapter and I competed at the national FFA contest where my team achieved the

JUDGING RESULTS

National Champion Overall win, I was High Individual Overall and my younger brother stood right behind me as the Third High Individual Overall. After this contest, my eligibility to compete at the high school level was over, but nonetheless I turned my attention to helping the upcoming teams in my county, assisting with coaching, talking sets and organizing work outs. As time in high school came to an end, I turned my attention into selecting a junior college program.

It was at Colorado State University where I first met Marcus Arnold, at the time he was the assistant livestock judging coach there.

My parents and I were always impressed with the respectful yet intelligent conversations we had with Marcus at cattle shows and this certainly played a part in me selecting Butler Community College. Add to the fact that a new, extremely talented face, Taylor Frank, would be joining the program as an assistant coach- Butler was, and still is, the place to be.

I've always been fan of the saying, "Iron sharpens iron," and my time at Butler is nothing short of just that. When I showed up to El Dorado, Kansas I was met by seven new faces and little did I know that these seven very diverse and talented individuals would serve as the most important driving force behind not only my own success and improvement within the program, but also fuel us to be one of the most competitive and recognized junior college judging teams in the country. I will never be able to speak highly enough of my coaches and the true depth of our team.

During our sophomore year it was incredible to have a team where any one of us

THE SHOWTIMES

It was always our goal as a team to have all marking five achieve the All American award. As the All American recognitions began at the Houston banquet it was overwhelming to hear all four of my teammates called up and then unbelievable to finally accomplishment my biggest personal goalbe the Number One All American. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I wouldn't be the person I am today without the support and guidance of my family, friends and coaches along the way. Winning the #1

MAY/JUNE 2017

could be named High Individual on the right given day and not only accomplish that at four different major contest but we were blessed to achieve High Team Overall at the National Barrow Show, American Royal, NAILE and NWSS. Fast forward to the end of the year and that's where it hit me. That's where the most memorable moment of my junior college career lies.

All American Award was more than just a banner, it convinced me that my academic success and consistency at all the major contests had finally paid off and that I was still on track to achieve my greatest ambitions.

So if you've made it this far and you're still reading you might be wondering- what's next? This fall I will be transferring to Oklahoma State University where I will be an Animal Science major while I continue my judging career. I look forward to being part of a completely new and even more diverse team as well as expanding my professional network and gaining new opportunities. As for that goal I set when I was ten years old- it's changed a little bit.

Not only will I work to develop myself as a stockman and evaluator, but I would feel blessed to be able to sort as many major cattle shows as possible. Along with that, my fondness for hogs, sheep and goats has grown and I'm working toward honing my abilities as an evaluator so that one day I may have the opportunity to sort major shows within those species as well. Ultimately, it's my goal to continue working within the agricultural industry but above all I aspire to keep working with youth in and out of the show ring to help them not only achieve their current goals, but to help them create bigger and more specific goals heading into the future. I don't know where exactly I'll end up or what my career will be, but I have no doubt that this industry and the experiences I have along the way will point me in the right direction and of course I'll always love to raise good cattle. Again, thank you to every individual who's impacted me and helped me along the way and don't worry- I'll try to keep making you proud. •

WINNING WITH THE ANGUS TEAM: 2017 NATIONAL JUNIOR ANGUS SHOW

AMERICAN ANGUS ASSOCIATION American Angus Association 3201 Frederick Avenue Saint Joseph, MO 64506 Phone: 816.383.5100 Web: angus.org

Come win with the Angus team in Des Moines, Iowa, at this year’s National Junior Angus Show (NJAS) at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.

From July 9-15, National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) members and their families will come to compete in the most competitive national junior livestock show in the country.

Participants will travel from coast to coast, with Angus cattle in tow, to experience the NJAS. In addition to the showring competition, Angus youth will also participate in life-skills contests, cooking events and much more.

The tentative schedule of events is available online, along with entry forms that must be completed by May 15.

“The National Junior Angus Show is a time to shine for future leaders of the Angus breed,” says Jaclyn Clark, American Angus Association director of events and education. “Iowa will not disappoint in the least, and with its great facilities and central location, we expect another outstanding turn-out for junior nationals.”

Themed “Winning with the Angus Team,” the 2017 NJAS expects to draw more than 1,000 head of registered Angus cattle to compete. Classes include owned heifers, bred-andowned heifers, cow-calf pairs, steers and bred-and-owned bulls. States will join together to compete for the Best Five Head, while individual members will vie for Junior Premier Breeder and the Silver Pitcher Award. A Top 5 selection of Bred-and-Owned Heifers and Owned Heifers will be chosen at the conclusion of each respective show.

May 15 is the ownership and early-entry deadline, and participants can submit entries online at www.angus.org/njaa.

Cattle competing in the 2017 NJAS will begin checking in at 4:30 p.m. Sunday, July 9, and must be signed in by 8:30 a.m. Monday, July 10.

The 51st Annual NJAS Showmanship Contest will also take place, where two junior Angus members from each state compete for the “Top Showman” title. To qualify, juniors must first be selected during state competition.

I am a California native, born and raised in the Central Valley, from Prather. I grew up in the agriculture industry showing Registered Black Angus cattle running a small herd with my family. I have been showing Angus cattle across not only the state of California but also the nation at the National Junior Angus Show since I was nine. I have also competed in the show ring with market steers, market sheep and market hogs at my county fair in 4-H and FFA. Once I was a freshman at Clovis East High School I became an extremely active member of Clovis FFA for four years serving in multiple officer positions and competing in several judging and speaking contests.

As my time on the junior board and as a junior showman comes to an end, I am thankful for the past twenty years in this industry. I have been blessed with an amazing family, supportive friends, an astounding association and good cattle.

At OSU, I have competed on the meats and horse judging teams as well as being very involved in multiple clubs. In the summer of 2015 in Tulsa, OK I was elected to the National Junior Angus Board of Directors. Growing up in the Angus industry and going to NJAS since 2007 and LEAD since 2010, I had always looked up to those in the green jacket and aspired to wear one someday and serve the NJAA and its members. I knew the opportunity to wear the green jacket would be an influential one. However, I never thought that it would make as big of an impact on my life as it has over these past two years. Serving as Chairman this past year has been an honor because of the amazing team I am fortunate enough to work beside.

ABOUT THE AMERICAN HEREFORD ASSOCIATION

Verifying the continued resurgence of the Hereford breed within the commercial industry, the past year has been another tremendous time of growth for the American Hereford Association (AHA). This year, the Association documented the Hereford advantage, recording increases in registrations, cow inventories and memberships, all while Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) LLC witnessed another year of growth.

AMERICAN HEREFORD ASSOCIATION 1501 Wyandotte Kansas City, MO 64108

The AHA continues to provide its members with programs and services to document the Hereford advantage. This dedication to genetic improvement has proved Herefords are: Accountable. Predictable. Profitable. Sustainable.

Phone: 816.842.3757 Fax: 816.842.6931 hereford.org - aha@hereford.org

The AHA is advancing genetic improvement through more frequent genetic evaluations.

Traditionally, the Pan-American Cattle Evaluation (PACE) program, which provides expected progeny differences (EPDs) derived from pedigree, phenotype and genomic information, is run twice per year. The AHA has moved to 10 runs per year, allowing breeders to make breeding decisions with the most current information.

The member service efforts of the American Hereford Association continue to focus on ways to make the Association and its members more efficient in recording and receiving information while continuing to control the costs associated with delivering those services.

The AHA introduced Electronic Certificate Storage, where MyHerd users have the option to store registration certificates electronically, increasing ease and efficiency of registrations and transfers. MyHerd now also allows members to electronically request DNA tests, track the status of existing requests and access the results of completed tests, ensuring test results are in their hands as fast as possible.

The National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) and the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) continue to create enthusiasm among Hereford youth. The last fiscal year produced a 5% increase in NJHA membership, breaking the 3,000-member mark and bringing the total of junior members to 3,057. HYFA generated $2 million for youth scholarship and activities during The Harvest II auction and three new leadership and scholarship endowments totaling $1.7 million were announced at the event. The Growing A Lasting Legacy Campaign also reached its million-dollar goal.

NJHA Fed Steer Shootout

The American Hereford Association and National Junior Hereford Association launched the first annual NJHA Fed Steer Shootout in 2016. The program gives NJHA members the opportunity to gain invaluable cattle feeding industry experience by estimating feedyard performance and carcass merit. Participants then have the opportunity to compare the information to actual performance data and can measure and compare the profitability of their animals during the contest. Winners of the new event will be announced at the 2017 Annual Membership Meeting. Seventy-four head of cattle were entered into the inaugural event.

The phrase “You act like you were raised in a barn” is often referred to as not having manners or being impolite. Instead of taking offense to this comment, I take it as a compliment. There is no other life I would rather live than the one I’m living now, and it’s all because I was raised in a barn. Being raised in a barn is where I learned most of my life lessons. I learned to be responsible, to be respectful, to never give up and that hard work does pay off.

Growing up on a ranch in Idaho, I fell in love with cattle from a young age and quickly got involved in 4-H, became a member of the National Junior Hereford Association and the National Junior Angus Association and later got involved in FFA.

In between state and national shows, I grew a desire to give back to the association that has truly shaped me into the person I am today. In the summer of 2014 I was elected onto the National Junior Hereford Association Board of Directors in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The feeling of receiving a maroon jacket was an indescribable moment and one that I will cherish forever.

Last summer, I was fortunate enough to be elected as Chairman of the NJHA Board of Directors. As a junior board member, hundreds of kids and adults are watching us at all times. This has taught me that leadership isn’t about having a title or holding a position. Leadership is an action and an example, and that is something that we should all strive to attain on a daily basis.

I strive to be the best that I can be in every aspect of life and use the work ethics that my family and many hard working and dedicated

ranch operations have taught me since I was a young girl. I was taught to never give up on something no matter how big or how small. I was taught that all good things come to those who work for it and nothing comes with a snap of a finger. I was taught that passion drives success and hard work does pay off, even if it comes slowly.

As a director, I feel one of the main components of the job is to be a well molded individual who younger and older members can look up to and seek to be like. Teaching members the morals and ethics of life is vital to having a good association for many years to come. This fall, I will be entering my senior year at Oklahoma State University where

I am majoring in Agricultural Communications. Serving on the junior board has ignited a passion to continue to give back to junior members across the nation. Upon graduation, I hope that I will be able to continue working in youth development with a breed association.

Before running for the board, I would have never imagined the friendships and connections I would make. I may be biased, but the Hereford family is unlike any, and I am forever thankful to have had the opportunity to serve and give back to the junior association that has given so much to me. •

2. The American Royal first began as the National Hereford Show, which was the first nationwide show for the exposition and sale of purebred cattle. There were 541 registered Herefords at the first National Hereford Show with an estimated attendance of 55,000.

3. Herefords are one of the only breeds that have not changed in appearance over the years. The original Herefords brought to America in 1881 had white faces, white switches, white feet and red bodies, just like Herefords do today.

fun facts

1. The Limousin breed originated anywhere from 16000 to 13000 years ago, proven by cave drawings in the French Lascaux Cave 2. In 1998, the North American Limousin Foundation created the docility EPD. This EPD rates the docility of the cattle allowing breeders to select for the calmer animals and cull those who continue with difficult disposition.

3. The first Limousin imported to Canada was Prince Pompadour in 1968. The first U.S. import, Kansas Colonel, was born and raised in Canada and was imported in 1971 by Bob Haag of Topeka, Kansas for a group of Kansas Limousin breeders.

As always, youth attending the National Classic will be required to participate in three of four educational contests in order to exhibit cattle, so start studying up on cattlemen’s quiz material, and memorizing your heifer’s pedigree now for Sales Talk. If you’re in the area, stop in for our Second Annual Breeder’s Cup Golf Tournament, Monday, July 10 at 8 AM. We will also be collecting children’s books for the Children’s Hospital of Mississippi. If you can’t make it to Nationals, ask your state coordinator who is headed to Mississippi and send your infanttoddler aged books with them!

If you just can’t make it to the National Classic, we hope you’ll join us at one of our four Regional Classics located in Klamath Falls, OR, Huron, SD, Springfield, MO and London, OH. Also, this year the AJSA will be co-hosting the Summit Leadership Conference with the Junior Gelbvieh and Shorthorn Associations in Lincoln, NE, August 3-6.

2017 JUNIOR NATIONAL PREVIEW

This year the National Junior Shorthorn Show & Youth Conference is being held in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The ASA and AJSA junior board is working closely with Oklahoma Shorthorn Association to help make it great. This year there was a rule change that allows 7-year-old members to show at NJSS. The rule previously was age 8-21. The AJSA hopes that this will help numbers grow. The AJSA has also added a ShorthornPlus prospect steer show this year.

LADD LANDGRAF MAINE-ANJOU PRESIDENT Hello, my name is Ladd Landgraf, and I am currently serving as the 2016-2017 President for the American Junior Maine-Anjou Association. I grew up on a ranch in Southern Oklahoma that was primarily a stocker steer operation and fertilizer company. I am an Agriculture Communications junior at Oklahoma State University.

My family was not especially involved with the show cattle industry before I began showing except my mom who showed when she was in high school. We quickly fell in love with showing cattle at every level, and I have met some of my best friends in the barns.

I have greatly enjoyed serving as the American Junior Maine-Anjou Association President during the past year. Positively impacting the youth in an industry I love is one of the most fulfilling things I have done to this point in my life. Being part of the AJMAA board of directors has given me the chance get to know youth and adults alike that appreciate the cattle industry and understand all that it has to offer.

I always look forward to getting to go to junior nationals because I have always liked showing at them.

I’m blessed to be able to be a part of board that helps put on that show for other kids now. •

In its twelfth year, the NAJRAE has become the largest gathering of Junior Red Angus exhibitors in one location in the United States. At the heart of its success are countless volunteers, many of whom do not have children participating in the event but believe so strongly in the benefits offered by the NAJRAE that they take time from their jobs and their livestock operations to volunteer. These volunteers serve on committees overseeing finance, awards, public relations, the various shows, and an end-of-show banquet. This show is run 100 percent on volunteers and not affiliated with any breed association.

LEADERSHIP DIRECTOR • Menzi Spiller

Our mission is to provide education activities for Red Angus youth breeders. The NAJRAE offers programs giving youth the opportunity to learn and practice business skills in the beef industry, and engage in leadership positions. The program emphasizes and recognizes those youth who show initiative and interest in owning and raising Red Angus beef cattle. The annual event serves as a forum for junior Red Angus youth and their families, breeders, and other beef enthusiasts to come together to compete, and to exchange ideas, knowledge, and technology.

THE SALERS BREED

Salers are considered to be one of the oldest European breeds, whose roots can be traced to 16,500-year-old cave drawings found near the town of Salers in the South Central region of France, the Auvergne, in the heart of the volcanic area of the Massif Central. The rough terrain, poor soil and harsh climate combined with the area’s isolation contributed to a genetically pure breed of cattle with bred-in rangeability to thrive almost entirely on native grasses in the summer and roughage diet in winter.

The Salers breed in North America has evolved into an outstanding maternal beef breed.

The cattle are usually solid red or black, and are naturally horned but polled bloodlines have been developed. Salers females possess a larger than average pelvic area and calve easily to the service of larger terminal cross sires. They are excellent mothers with good milk production, are very fertile and re-breed quickly.

AMERICAN SALERS ASSOCIATION 19590 E. Main Street, Suite 104 Parket, CO 80138 Phone: 303.770.9292 Fax: 303.770.9302

Salers bulls are aggressive breeders and sire calves of moderate birth weight, with a strong will to live and good growth. Salers cross steers perform well in feedlots and have exceptional carcass yield and quality.

These traits have made Salers the choice of many commercial cattlemen striving to maximize production without increasing management or labor. Salers are a balanced breed, which is optimum in all aspects of beef production.

2. One of the oldest of the French cattle breeds, Charolais is considered of Jurassic origin and was developed in the district around Charolles in Central France.

3. The AICA purebred herdbook is open to animals of 31/32 Charolais breeding.

THIS SUMMER

Excitement is mounting for the 4th Annual Miniature Hereford Junior Nationals (MHJN) to be held June 24-28 in Chillicothe, Missouri! This rapidly growing event brings young cattle enthusiasts from across the country to learn about the beef industry, compete in contests, and develop lasting friendships. It is a highlight of the summer for the families it welcomes.

Over 70 kids and their families from 9 states participated in the MHJN last year in Ames, Iowa.

The kids ranged in age from 3 to 22. We expect even more families from more states again in 2017.

The MHJN introduces youth to competition in a way that’s comfortable for them and their families. They experience the thrill of winning and learning how to lose gracefully. Our aim is to develop leadership, sportsmanship, and a passion for the kind of work ethic it takes to succeed as adults.

fun facts

1. They are purebred Herefords registered with the American Hereford Association, no dwarf gene.

THE SHOWTIMES

2. Great project for kids to teach responsibility of owning and raising cattle on a less intimidating scale. Jr Nationals 2016 Grand Champion Heifer was exhibited by Kendall Burns at age 3 ½.

3. Miniature Herefords are full blooded Herefords, there is no drawf gene. The Miniature has the same body profile in terms of proportion to a full sized Hereford. A Miniature Hereford averages around 42 inches in height and weighs around 1000 lbs. Apart from that the Miniature Hereford is the same in characteristics as its larger counterpart. The American Hereford Association is the official registry for Miniature Herefords.

4. Miniature Herefords are in fact descendants of the original Herefords brought to North America in 1831.

SKIRT STEAK WITH ARUGALA + BLUE CHEESE

MAY/JUNE 2017

I CAN’T SAY THAT THIS IS A FAMILY FAVORITE, BUT I CAN SAY THAT AT LEAST HALF OUR FAMILY LOVES IT! WE ALWAYS LOOK FOR FLAT IRON STEAK AND I DO BELIEVE THEY ARE THE SAME THING. WE ALSO ADD AN AVOCADO BECAUSE THEY’RE JUST SO GOOD AND GOOD FOR YOU! THIS IS MORE OF OUR SPRING- SUMMER RECIPE AS THIS CHOICE OF STEAK SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR AS AN OPTION IN EARLY FALL. by: Jodie May, WI

INGREDIENTS

1 pound skirt steak, trimmed of excess fat if necessary, halved crosswise, at room temperature ● 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil ● 1 pint (2 cups) cherry tomatoes, halved ● 1/2 cup (about 4 ounces) crumbled blue cheese ● 1/2 pound baby arugala STEAKHOUSE MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE ● 1 tablespoon coarse Dijon Mustard ● 2 tablespoons wine vinegar ● 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce ● 1/2 teaspoon honey ● 1/3 cup olive oil

DIRECTIONS

Pat steak dry and season on both sides 1/2 teaspoon salt and many grinds of black pepper.

In a cast-iron skillet: Heat skillet on mediumhigh to high and add olive oil. When oil begins to shimmer, place steak in skillet and do not move it for 5 minutes. Turn it once, and cook for another 3 minutes for medium-rare. You may need to cook your steak halves separately, depending on the size of your pan.

On a grill: Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over

THE SHOWTIMES

●

hot charcoal or high heat for gas. Oil grill rack, then grill steak, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, 4 to 6 minutes total for medium-rare.

Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest, loosely covered with foil, for five minutes. Arrange arugala on a large platter. Thinly slice steak on the diagonal, across the grain. Arrange over arugala, then toss halved cherry tomatoes and blue cheese over platter.

For the vinaigrette whisk ingredients. Season with salt and pepper and adjust ingredients to taste (usually more Dijon and vinegar for me). •

BE KIND

TO ALL PEOPLE, THE SHOWTIMES

MAY/JUNE 2017

AT ALL TIMES

EVERYONE DESERVES TO FEEL THE LOVE OF GOD THROUGH HIS PEOPLE!

BY PASTOR RANDY DAVIS, LIMA, OH

O

ne of the greatest parts or being a Christian is being a part of the local church. It’s full of people who are all at different stages of life on the journey with Christ, but we are all on the same journey.

On this journey, you will need to make some changes in your lifestyle along the way. There are some things God wants us to do differently than the world does so they see hope in Him and not in the things of this world.

He will begin to tug on your heart about certain areas in your life that need to be modified or cut out altogether. If you have been on the journey with Christ for any length of time and nothing has changed, you need to make some more time with God so he can deal with your heart.

The more we love God, the more we want to please Him

and do life the way God intended. What is important on this journey?

Matthew 22:34-40: 34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

How are you doing loving God? Others? This is so important for all of us to do. We must love God and then love others. Its commanded other places in the Bible as well.

John 13:34-35: 34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

maybe the difficulty they carry. If you only knew.

Can you give others the benefit of the doubt? They need to know you care. How do you treat others? Through Christ I can love all people, at all times! Can’t pick and choose!

1 John 4:20: Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.

Romans 12:18: If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

How can you love God when you can’t love your brother?

This is a legit question!

It isn’t about them and what they do with it, it is about you following God’s command! Do your part and they will have to own their part.

Don’t be unkind to people just because they are different than you. Know their story, it may explain a lot. God, help us to love one another because we will reap what we sow.

What goes around comes back around.

Remember, everyone has a story! Look around at the many different stories. Don’t assume you know how easy someone else has it compared to you. Some of the best actors in the world are never in a movie but they are in your life every week. You never know what someone around you is going through. If they appear difficult, it

Through Christ I can love all people, at all times! Is this true of you? Do not be selective in who you show love to.

Everyone deserves to feel the love of God through His people! Let’s love well. •

But some people make this so hard. Yes, they do, but there is a scripture for that too.

MAY/JUNE 2017

They will know us by our love for one another. Can people tell we love one another as followers of Christ? It is a command not a suggestion. After accepting him into your heart he gives you the ability and capacity to love others with His love unconditionally. We cannot do it on our own but with His help.

YOU ARE SHOWTIMES

IT’S THE PEOPLE THAT FULFILL THE DREAM! MAY/JUNE 2017

BY LISA REID, CO

THE SHOWTIMES

346

s we put the finishing touches on this May/June 2017 Junior National Edition of the magazine, I realize that The Showtimes has become something truly special. Not just to my family [as it is our life], but to the people it reaches. One of my favorite things is when I am scrolling through Facebook and see people celebrating a big win by displaying their Showtimes congratulatory banner. Or when I meet a young exhibitor at a show who is thirsty to be more involved in the idustry; looking to us for advice and using the magazine as a tool for knowledge, networking and ideas.

Others drive and enthusiasm for what we are producing lights a fire in me to not only continue to deliver to them a solid product, but to far exceed their

expectations.

While I can hardly believe this issue marks number 54 for The Showtimes [over twice my age!], seeing the people from the industry that fill up its pages excites me for the future.

“You can design and create, and build the most woderful place in the world.

But it takes people to make the dream a reality.”

-Walt Disney Thank you for making our dream a reality! We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the Junior Nationals this summer where we will be kicking off our “This Is Wy We Show Tour!”

Stay tuned for the debut of Showtimes Live and complete show coverage.

In addition to Junior Nationals, we are busy at work on the upcoming State Fair Edition of The Showtimes.

Contact us today about being a part of the best advertising tool for pasture sales on the market today! •

THANK YOU! We would like to thank everyone who helps distribute and promote The Showtimes Magazine to shows, sales and events across the country!

This is a testimonial:

Animals speak louder than words. We could go on and on about Honor Show Chow Cattle feeds. How we offer unique solutions for every show species, with feeds and supplements that contain the highest quality ingredients.

But this is the 2015 American Royal Livestock Show Supreme Champion Heifer. And she says it all.
