=Association Outlook Making History As you read about the National Junior Shorthorn Show and Youth Conference in this issue of Shorthorn Country, every Shorthorn breeder should be extremely proud of the youth in our breed. These young people are second to none in my opinion. I was so impressed with their enthusiasm and desire to compete in the show ring as individuals, but also in the contests and all aspects of the week long activities. The real story here is the loyalty to their state groups and each other.

Juniors, parents, grandparents, show sponsors, breeders, board members and ASA staff should be proud of our youth and the success of this event. It is making history each year. With proper changes and adjustment to meet the demands of the future this wonderful part of our breed can and will become bigger and better each year!

As I sit down to write my first article for Shorthorn Country as the ASA Executive, I come to the Shorthorn breed filled with enthusiasm and ideas. I am honored and look forward to being part of this great breed. Shorthorn cattle are somewhat in my blood as my father’s family raised registered Shorthorns in Iowa back in the early 1900’s. This breed like many beef breeds has a long legacy of individuals and operations that stamped out the path or direction of this breed. Many of you have these heritages in your families or opera-

tions. The strength of any breed is the breeders and people that have the passion to carry on the fabulous tradition of breeding purebred cattle. It is always interesting to review old pictures, sale reports, show reports, the names, movers and shakers of the breed in each era of its history. Many great leaders of old have helped move and mold the breed.

The message I want to translate is that Shorthorn breeders today are making the history of the future! Decisions we make as a breed and as breeders will be the history looked at in both human and cattle generations of tomorrow. This means the ever changing evolution of new types of cattle and new leaders that influence our breed is important to how we may be viewed today and down the road. We become judged on our past and not our future in most cases. Now is the time to determine how we want to be defined in the history books. Right now is the time to understand this process of survival and acceptance, within our industry. Is it fair to blame our breed ancestors for the problems or lack of acceptance of our breed, or is it really our fault as passionate breeders that we did not accept the changes in the industry and times that left us behind in some categories? I personally feel we have to look into the mirror and face the issues.

We need to accept the responsibility and challenges that are before us to move and

mold our breed into a better position each and every time we make a decision. These decisions may seem small when you are making them, but they really are important when you move forward six months, one year or 10 years. Doing something one way because it was always done that way will leave you in the dust. It has been my experience that this train of thought is the quickest way our competitors will get an advantage.

When we look back to the 1940’s the progress and changes breeders made at that time made Shorthorns the breed of choice in the 1950’s. The other breeds became willing to make changes as Shorthorn breeders became complacent and accepted what they had. Those breeds hungry for more moved on and molded the future for their breed and Shorthorn was slowly left behind. This is a normal process in all industries and even government powers when we look through history. For example: the current events of today are making history in Egypt for tomorrow. How will it be evaluated? I doubt if anyone is really sure of that, but the decisions have been made and history is being made right now!

We in the Shorthorn breed need to take a lesson from this. To stay complacent and do nothing will ensure the best is already behind us. If we are willing as passionate Shorthorn breeders and enthusiasts to look into that mirror, do some self-evaluating and accept the challenges we need to meet as a breed and breeders, we can make history together!!!

One of my first impressions as an outsider coming into the breed is the division of types of cattle in our great breed: show cattle verses performance cattle. As breeders we need some of both, but more importantly breeders need to share and communicate in order to have both segments that fit the needs of our industry. As we make history, do you want it as a divided breed or as a unified strong stance that says we will conquer with Shorthorn cattle that are high quality, attractive and also have the performance and data that will let these documented bovine beauties contribute to the entire beef cattle industry?

=FromPasture to Prime Rib Cow Balance Last issue we covered herd bull balance via the stops on Shorthorn University, it seems only fitting we discuss the balance that can be expected from the matrons consuming grass within your fences. Her job is very simple; convert grass and water into live offspring and milk. However, the purebred business seems to find countless ways to help her screw it up through over-management, overselection, or the unwillingness to finish second at the local coffee shop. With the rising costs of feed inputs and transportation, having a balanced cow herd will ensure you can manage risk and endure the ebbs and flows in the market.

I recently listened to a presentation from a large-scale commercial cow/calf producer in the western United States.

The producer also happens to be a professor at a land-grant university in his home state. By this Midwestern farm boy’s standards, the conditions his cows endured were pretty tough. He posted a picture of a cow in his herd next to her lifetime production records.

The picture of the cow even got a few laughs from the audience. She was ugly red, seemingly way too big for his environment, and in a body condition score deserving of the cull pen. The cow had also stifled herself at a young age, had no muscle, and a general phenotype that was far from purple ribbon material. All said, she was still the best cow on the farm! Her production records showed that she was a 12-year-old cow that had weaned 13 live calves. She had twinned twice and turned in very respectable weaning weights, indicating that she not only offered sufficient milk to her offspring, but also calved fairly early in the season every year. Keep in mind, a weaning percentage of 85 per cow exposed is really good in this environment (predators, disease, calving difficulties, drought, etc.). When profit is the driver in the operation, all that coffee shop talk flies right out the window. The banker and the feed mill accountant find little value in stories of monster weaning weights.

Patrick director of genetic Wall improvement and eastern regional director

The previous story is not meant to discount the importance of livestock measurement; it’s the best set of tools we have to make objective assessments of our cows. In fact, a balanced performance profile (EPDs) that fits a given environment is a sound approach, but there are a slew of other factors to consider. Many of these potential pitfalls can be avoided by starting at the ground…grass. Not all grasses are created equal, and rumen bug populations are the same way. A cow that thrives on good hard grass in Montana may struggle in the fescue belt of Missouri and vice versa.

Producers that have hauled bred heifers great distances may have experienced this first hand. Poor weaning weights and thin, open three-year-olds are often blamed on the breeding program of the source herd. In reality, unhappy rumen bugs may have been the root cause of all the problems. Maybe the “buy local” movement currently popular among consumers should spill over into beef production. If their EPD profiles are virtually the same, the cow most likely to pad the balance of your checkbook is likely not far down the road.

Fleshing ability is a catchy phrase producers like to brag about. However, the term only answers one side of the profit equation. It only says, “My cow is fat.” It fails to answer, “Why, when, and how much feed did it take to make her easy fleshing?” There are basically three ways a cow can be easy fleshing: eat a lot of feed, offer no milk, or effectively convert forage to energy. In reality, only the third option is profitable when the first two options didn’t occur. If a cow looks like a million dollars all summer but her calf does not, it’s likely she’s not offering a profitable balance to your bottom line.

Likewise, a potential volume buyer is unlikely to believe your story of how you “make your cows earn it” when there’s fresh feed dust under the bulk bin and all you have to do is bang a bucket to call in the herd. The commercial producer is willing to sacrifice some pounds of weaned calf if he/she can ensure the cow is safe to

shorthorn country = august 2013

calve 365 days or less than a year ago, and she doesn’t need a bin full of grain to bring her back into condition. All the other details we try to jam down their throat in a sale catalog don’t really impact profitability at the cow/calf level all that much.

That iron-clad guarantee is hard to stamp on the side of a cow, but the best insurance policy a producer can buy is a set of EPDs that mirror his/her production focus. If the catalog doesn’t have the information he/she is looking for, it goes in the trash. Turn in your production records on your cow herd via the Whole Herd Reporting (WHR) program. It matters.

In some cases, the “balance” a buyer is looking for is a poor number. For example, Shorthorns offer plenty of milk relative to other breeds. In a harsh environment with little feed resources, negative Milk EPD may be the only animal that will work with longevity.

Likewise, if a producer is chasing highquality grid premiums, Shorthorn is a good source for marbling. I often tell buyers to search for bulls below breed average for Ribeye Area (REA) EPD. Muscle and marbling have a negative relationship. Shorthorns offer plenty of muscle on average, so holding REA at a constant or even reducing its size can increase the chances for premium Choice and Prime carcasses. Bigger is not always better.

I haven’t talked a lot about structure or phenotypic balance, so I guess I’ll end with it. Though important, it’s far down the totem pole of profit in a cow herd. If cows had feet like the horses that pull the famous beer wagon, this would be a short paragraph.

Unfortunately, it’s one of the most important and most frequently ignored parts of the beef animal. While trimming tables and hoof grinders certainly don’t help, they are not a significant source of blame. Many cattle are purchased in deep bedding, deep

mud, or deep grass. This is just a hunch, but by the time the feet are truly visible, it’s too late. For producers familiar with blade rock, mountain slopes, or even gravel pockets, foot shape can be extremely important to profitability. The general structure and mobility of the cow thereafter is talked about a lot at shows and fairs, but all the terms answer the same question for

the commercial cow man. Does she struggle to get around?

The final piece of anatomy I’ll touch on is the head. I’ll never forget an early morning ride to the Denver airport I had several years ago. Two gentlemen were making jokes about a judge’s comments the day before concerning jaw depth and head shape in his reasons. I didn’t have enough time nor

enough coffee to educate them.

Regardless, feedlot owners say that shallow jawed, tight-throated cattle don’t feed, don’t grow, and don’t grade.

I’m not one to argue with a paying customer.

In the end, a balanced cow can come in many shapes, colors, and sizes. Her goal is simple; don’t get loaded on the trailer headed for town. =

New Policy at ASA

(continued from page 8) Just take a look at other breeds we might envy and look at how they handle this issue. The breed is united and backed by all breeders for all purposes needed by each breeder. The cattle reflect the personality of the breed and it breeders, by producing Shorthorn cattle that fit every aspect of our beef cattle industry.

This united stance has taken their breeds to higher success levels as they are making history.

I do not know about you, but I am ready to make history!!! =

Shorthorn Juniors Turned Leaders!

by Marshall Allison

This year was another great Junior Nationals in the state of Iowa! It was jam packed full of fun and enjoyment for all the juniors that participated.

Our motto said it all, “Juniors Today, Leaders Tomorrow”. That is exactly what happened as the week of the show progressed. Throughout the week we saw juniors step into the spotlight or out of their comfort zone to lead the way for others. Many of the juniors took to the various contests that week and excelled in their own way!

The week started off with exhibitors and families flooding in on Tuesday to sign up their cattle and for the various contests. The juniors helped the breed excel in making this Junior Nationals a record breaking one with 566 animals showing. Also, most of the contests had record participation numbers. The Youth Conferences kicked off with the introductions of the board candidates and the pairing for the mentor and apprentice program. Then it was time for the first contests to begin which included: graphic design, photography, arts and crafts, and state basket. As they were being judged we had a wonderful opening ceremony where the juniors showed their wild side in dancing to the creative music provided. Afterward everyone retired for the night anticipating the rest of the week.

Wednesday began in the show ring

where there was some tough competition for the showmanship contest.

Everyone gave it their all to show off their animals. Following showmanship, Youth Conference two was held and the candidates were presented questions.

Afterwards we had a packed afternoon with the quiz bowl competition and then team salesmanship. Team Salesmanship was just as good as ever with excited contestants and judges that were ready to be impressed. Stock Show University presented another spectacular clinic that many attended and learned from. A Big Thank You for their continued way of sharing their skills and spreading their knowledge.

Contestants in the judging contest were tested Thursday morning with seven classes in our judging competition. Followed by the third Youth Conference, where the board candidates were questioned with questions made up by our states’ delegates then the delegates did their voting on who was to join the Junior Board. Later we had the beef cook-off contest and the team fitting contest where juniors showed their skills with a spatula or clippers, or both! We concluded the night with our annual Funding the Future Sale. The Association was given a lot of support through the sale. Thank You to all that donated and participated in the sale!

The shows Friday consisted of the Bred and Owned Show, the Purebred Bull Show, the ShorthornPlus Show, the ShorthornPlus Bull Show, the Cow and Calf Pair Show, and the Prospect/Market Steer Show. After everyone was done showing for the day, we went to the awaited Awards Banquet. Many were rewarded for their hard work and others for their dedication to the breed. Also, the new board members were announced by the retiring board members.

Congratulations to everyone at the banquet.

Saturday was the big day for the National Junior Shorthorn Heifer Show and the day was filled with judging of animals from all over the country.

Champions were chosen and people celebrated their winnings. With the show over, the week of Junior Nations ended. Without the Iowa Shorthorn Association and their planning committee nothing could have been accomplished so many thanks to them!

The AJSA also would like to thank all of the exhibitors who participated throughout the week and hopes everyone enjoyed it! Until next year …=

Shorthorn Sidekicks

by Blaire Boyer This year with the help of Melanie Winegardner and the volunteers who helped her, we were pleased to continue one of our programs. The Shorthorn Sidekicks were developed to get the younger members (ages 5-8) of our association involved in the fun and activities of Junior Nationals. On the first day this year they had a lesson where they made a feed mix ration trail

mix. On the following day they learned the basics of judging by looking at classes of writing instruments, feeds, and kind of tape. The third day was sponsored by Vermeer.

We are excited and proud that it was a success again this year. = Shorthorn Sidekicks

es On Time March “Forty years sounds like a long time and I guess it is, but I can still remember the thrill of picking out my own purebred Shorthorn heifer and taking her home. I have carried a picture of that first heifer in my billfold ever since. There have been a lot of calves born since, and we have bought several. I’m sure most were better individuals, but somehow none can take that first one’s place.

Through the years the Shorthorns have paid a lot of bills, brought a lot of thrills, and made a lot of friends for us.

When I decided to buy an engagement ring, two steer calves paid the jeweler, and another paid for the wedding trip.

It seems there were always the cattle to depend on. When the four kids got old enough to show calves, they all owned their own. The numbers grew along with the kids and as the years went by, the good old Shorthorns paid for four college educations.

In September, Denny and I are going to bring forth our best. Oh, we’re still going to have several left to stay in the Shorthorn business, but we’re offering to share in our progress. We hope all of you come not only to spend money, but to invest in the future.

Darrell Jordan

That introduction letter was in the catalogue of our first production sale in 1983. I, too, remember the first Shorthorn heifer that I owned, and the excitement that went with it.

Many thrills along the way fill our memories; including breeding the Grand Steer at the Illinois State Fair Junior.

Show in 1991 (to date no Shorthorn has repeated). But even more than the thrills, it is the people that have become close, lifelong friends from coast to coast and even a few from out of the country, that mean the most.

We consider ourselves to be like most of the people in this breed. We are a family based operation and want to give our kids and grandkids the opportunity to live this great life. We work hard for what we have and always strive for more.

Nothing is more gratifying than to have cattle that originate at Jordan Acres, succeed for their new owners. Sometimes resources of time and funds limit what we can do, but we do what we can with what we have and take pride in it.

Please join us on September 1st, in helping us celebrate our 70 years. We are offering the best we have, and I think you will find they can work for you if you have a performance based herd or one that lives for the show ring.

Bring the family and get to know us.

Haynes Family was just starting their small herd of Shorthorns and they called with a heifer calving. The late John Haynes always loved white ones. When this heifer was born, he was as giddy as a kid on Christmas day. From that day on, she has been a favorite. We showed Valentine for them and eventually purchased her from them when they reduced their herd. Length of body, sound, functional, this female is extremely reliable. You can see what she does in her yearling heifer and the bull calf selling with her.

If it weren’t for trying to make this Anniversary Sale our best ever, this female would be going right back into our herd. This is one of our first daughters of our All-American herd bull, Tonic’s Last Call. Bred to Hot Commodity for an early January calf, you will have a quick return on your investment here. If you are starting a herd or adding to an existing one, this female will make you a wise investment.

Selling 2/3 interest and full possession. Polled. When we sold Commotion at the Illinois Beef Expo, he made quite a “commotion.” We feel his little brother can do it again. Stout made, sound and correct, this calf has it all. An added attraction to many will be his flashy color. Commotion II spent most of the winter and spring at an ET facility and wasn’t pampered as a calf. Now, he is exploding into the dynamic herd sire we are all looking for. Watch for him at the Illinois State Fair before the sale. Don’t miss the opportunity to own him.

Polled. I purchased a package of three embryos at the Illinois Beef Expo from Circle H and Turner Shorthorns hoping to get a good heifer from this mating.

However, I was fortunate enough to get two. These heifers are sired by the popular bull, Red Reward, that unfortunately died at an early age before the full use of him was realized. Their dam, Meg 270N, is the mother of Hot Commodity. Either of these two heifers could become the next great donor cow for the breed. Now that I’ve bragged on their bloodline, take a look at the heifers. Perfectly matched, stout made and eye-appealing. Moderate in frame and deep in their body. I would love to see one of these heifers mated to Trump or a son of his.

Bred Heifers This group of bred heifers is a group I am very proud of. Several are daughters of Hot Commodity and others are daughters of TLC that are mated to Hot Commodity. They have never been overly fat. They were wintered on roughage and very little grain by-products (bean hulls and DDG’s). This is truly the cream of the crop of our replacement females.

Junior Exhibitors Aim High

by Laura Pifer

Junior Nationals is a very busy time for everyone involved. The individuals that were awarded the High Point Award are always on the move and not only took the time presenting their projects at Junior Nationals, but also the countless hours put in at home before the week had begun. You won’t find these individuals napping on their show box or twiddling their thumbs, because they were always busy preparing for the next event. We should all feed from the energy and drive these winners have portrayed.

Every single junior that entered a contest or cattle at this year’s Junior National was automatically entered into

the High Point Competition.

Points were given to individuals for excellences in the contests on a graduated basis, meaning the better you do in the contest, the more points you will receive.

Final placings include: Prospector I Division: 1) Lauren Fry, Ind.; 2) Aidan Raab, Ind.; 3) Caden Kephart, Ind.; 4) Sheridan Fox, Ind.; 5) Carlee Long, Mo.

American Shorthorn Foundation Scholarship Recpients

by Blaire Boyer

Not only are Shorthorn exhibitors working long hours in the barn to prepare for the next show, but many are also diligently working at academics and planning for the future outside the showring. Ten AJSA members were awarded scholarships at the 2013 National Junior Shorthorn Show and Youth Conference, held in Des Moines, Iowa. All the scholarships are funded through the American Shorthorn Foundation by friends and families as memorials to people with strong and lasting ties to the breed. Each scholarship is dedicated to people who have been recognized as “Builders of the Breed,” a very distinguished honor bestowed to members of the breed.

Shorthorn Foundation board members who reviewed the application and made the final decision commented on the quality of applications and the difficulty they faced in making the selections.

Don Longley Memorial Scholarship The Don Longley Memorial Scholarship is a $1,000 scholarship awarded to four high school seniors or college freshmen based upon their Shorthorn interest, grades, need, and participation in other activities. The following four deserving individuals received the award: Haley Alden, Mo., Ryan Fogg, Ind., James R. Johnson, Ill., and Savannah Steinke, Ind. The Don Longley Memorial Scholarship is awarded through the Shorthorn Foundation in honor of Don Longley, past publisher of the Shorthorn World magazine. He followed his father’s footsteps and continued the empire of the Shorthorn magazine, insisting his staff attend every Shorthorn show, sale and conference possible in order to bring Shorthorn breeders the most accurate and expansive information of the time. He worked effortlessly to promote the breed, and his greatest delight was to publish a journalistically superior book. The Shorthorn World was never the same after the Longley era, with more than 50 years of father and son work towards the magazine

2013 All-American Junior Breeders

by Blaire Boyer

The All-American Junior Breeder program is designed to reward young Shorthorn breeders for their general knowledge of Shorthorn cattle. The end goal is to engage young cattle producers in Shorthorns with the hope that they stay in the breed long after their junior days are over. The program tests participants understanding of phenotype, performance reporting, EPDs, and the pedigrees that fit their operation. Winners each year receive "Shorthorn Bucks" or dollars that can be used to purchase purebred Shorthorn females or bulls to expand their herd. Breeders can contribute $100 to nominate their herd for the program; state association sales and consignment/production sales can nominate their cattle for $250. In addition, 1% of the sale gross from The Summit National Shorthorn Sale in Denver helps fund the program.

Winners of the AllAmerican Junior Breeder Award may only purchase Shorthorns from breeders and sales that donate to the program.

In 2013, two winners were announced during the banquet at the Junior National Show in Des Moines, Iowa. Sarah Moore of All-American Junior Breeders Sarah Moore, Ill., and Tyler Pierson, Ill., received $1,300 Minn. and the title of Allname engraved on a plaque that hangs American Junior Breeder.

Team Salesmanship

by Marshall Allison

Team Salesmanship winners Some can say the skill of a salesman or saleswoman is a work of art. In the Shorthorn industry it is no different.

This form of art is different from what you would see in a gallery or museum.

This form of art is that of selling cattle to buyers around the country. Our breed has many individuals who excel in this art of selling shorthorn cattle. A lot of them show their talents by traveling to our national show every year and performing in the team salesmanship contest.

This contest is not an easy one to prepare and participate in. It takes dedication, hard work ethic, and speaking skills from the salesmanship

teams to getting everything ready at home to selling their animal in the contest. Not to mention the practice that each team has to do to get everything complete and rehearsed down to each second.

This year we had many teams participate in the contest. It is truly amazing to see each team sell their animal in their own way to people that they have never met before. These teams really did shine this year and might be able to teach you a thing or two for the next time you sell a Shorthorn.

Prospector I Division: 1) Carlee Long and Lexi Koelling, Mo.; 2) Ashton Willis and Lauren Fry, Ind.; 3) Carson Kretzmeier and Sheridan Fox, Ind.; 4) Colton Steinke and Carson Steinke, Colo.; 5) Colby Eprickson and Alexa Lane, Okla.

Prospector II Division: 1) Xavier Ferris, Ind. and Caden Kephart, Ky.; 2) Miller Smith and Aiden Raab, Ind.; 3) Elizabeth Fleming and Skylee Sherman, Mich.; 4)Hallie Dillard and Tanner Reese, Tenn.; 5) Emma Bird and Kyle Bird, Ill. Intermediate Division: 1) Jacob Nikkel and Taylor Nikkel, Kan.; 2) Cassidy Catrett and Cameron Catrett, Ala.; 3) Ty Cool, Mich. and Clay Sundberg, Ill.; 4) Sammi Schrag, SD., and Allison Dragstem, Ind.; 5) Samantha Reese and Murray Perkins, Tenn.

Senior Team Sales Division: 1) Hope Schlimger and Mackenzie Nickels, Wis.; 2) Clayton Boyert, Ohio and Colton Prescott, Ind.; 3) Leah Gilman and Ethan Gilman, Iowa; 4) Kendra Davis, Minn. and Caleb Dressen, Wis.; 5) Savannah Steinke and Kenzie Kretzmeir, Ind. =

Photography Contest

by Luke Bolin

Sifting through all the entries in this year’s photography contest was no easy task for the judges. From beautiful pasture shots to unique perspectives, all of the photos showcased the beauty of the Shorthorn breed. One judge said, “I am blown away with the talent of the kids within this breed.” Our Shorthorn juniors competed not only in photography but a digitally enhanced photography contest also. The entries in that division were equally as impressive with juniors putting their enhancement skills in the spotlight.

Another successful NJSS photography contest is in the books, and our juniors left their mark in Des Moines!

Livestock Judging

by Dustin Smith

Livestock Judging winners Evaluating cattle can be a very tough task; however, youth within the Shorthorn breed make a tough task seem simple. This year, the youth were asked to evaluate six classes of cattle ranging anywhere from yearling heifers

to purebred Shorthorn steers. Also, one class was a reasons class where the officials had ten multiple-choice questions for the contestants to answer.

Although there were many difficult classes, the youth of the Shorthorn breed have proven once again that they have an eye for quality cattle. It is without doubt, these youth will be evaluating cattle across the country.

Golden Comb

by Blaire Boyer

For younger members, becoming friends with an older member during Junior Nationals is one of the coolest parts of the week. Participants in the 2013 Mentor Apprentice Program found the benefits of the new found friendship rewarding, but were also anxious to hear who would win the coveted Golden Comb. The award is the finale of the mentor-apprentice program which allows junior members to work on teamwork and leadership while making new connections.

During the Youth Conference, senior and intermediate members are paired with a junior from the prospector division. Each pair was given a folder

with a number of tasks to be completed in order to be eligible for the Golden Comb Award. The tasks consisted of meeting and learning about your partner, selling raffle tickets and mugs for a chance to win money and writing thank you letters to the show sponsors.

When the tasks were finished and sheets filled out, the team’s sheets were put into the golden hopper and the winners were announced at the banquet. This year’s Golden Comb award winners, Mackenzie Nickels of Wisconsin and Addison Wall of Iowa, who showed outstanding responsibility and dedication. Congratulations! =

Quiz Bowl winners

This year’s Quiz Bowl competition was held on Wednesday afternoon.

Speech

By Hannah Winegardner

Speech Winners

Giving a speech in front of three well renowned adults of our industry who know everything about the topic at hand is certainly not a simple task.

Although the youth of the Shorthorn breed does not let the heat of the moment get to them. As I walked around checking on all the contestants there were very few who seemed nervous. This is a quality feature that these kids will be so proud to have someday. To me all the contests we offer at Junior Nationals are great tools to help prep our youth for the future to be well-rounded adults. The following contestants are highly knowledgeable and I am very excited to have them representing our breed. Anyone of them can go out and be a spokesperson for the beef industry.

Final placings include:

Prospector I Division: 1) Carlea Long, Mo.; 2) Tyler Loudon, Iowa; 3) Riley Thill, Iowa; 4) Isabel Bird, Ill.; 5) Alexis Koelling, Mo.

Remembering the Real Purpose of Youth Livestock Shows

by Audrey Hambright and Jake Alden

Youth livestock shows have been known to bring out the competitive edge in people, in both juniors and adults alike. The feeling of winning is second to none, however, the greatest rewards are received from the hard work put in and lessons learned. In our opinion, those things should not be compromised at such a young age only in the name of taking home the top prize.

At the junior national this year, the ASA received a protest from an individual who witnessed less than ethical practices on an animal. The animal entry was allegedly being “pumped” prior to entering the show ring, so to expand its’ “full” appearance.

However, after review by the ASA executive board of directors, it was determined that there was insufficient evidence to lead to sanctions for the accused.

In the Rules and Regulations for the National Junior Shorthorn Show, Rule 15F states: Any products/solutions/liquids administered internally or externally to alter the conformation of the animal is prohibited. This includes the use of steroids, growth promotants and the act of artificially filling animals internally, which would include stomach pumping, drench tubes, or any other method per os (by esophagus).

If the calf is ill and requires the use of a stomach pump or drench tube,

administering medication in this manner should only be done under the supervision and diagnosis of a veterinarian.

We were disappointed to learn of this practice happening at the junior national. This rule is in place not only to protect the welfare of the calf, but to protect the integrity of the show and the life of the livestock show industry in general.

Mission of the AJSA: The AJSA strives to brighten the future of the Shorthorn breed by engaging its members in opportunities that develop character, promote valuable skills, and build life-long friendships.

The mission of the AJSA reinforces the values we are working to teach our young people to be well-rounded, successful adults that are mindful of good morals and character to lead the Shorthorn breed.

As adults, let us keep these things in mind as we go forward to encourage youth to take in the experience and dedication of being involved in a project from start to finish, and to not be solely preoccupied with winning the purple ribbon at the end.

We must also be mindful of the growing pressure from animal activist groups. Livestock shows are not immune to the scrutiny place on production animal agriculture and unethical practices in the show barn endanger the livelihood of the livestock

show industry, which so many of us have made a part of our everyday lives.

Down the road, be mindful of your actions and don’t take for granted the opportunities we are given to help shape the lives of our young people through this great industry. Help capitalize on the real purpose of the junior program and the positive experiences it can add to a child’s upbringing.

This is the information that needs to be supplied for a formal protest: 1.

A written description of the violated rule and rule number along with a photo or video of the activity.

2.

One of the following forms of animal I.D.: tattoo or ear tag, along with date, location and time of activity.

3.

Print and sign your name to the protest stating that you witnessed the illegal activity.

4.

Contact information for yourself and any supporting witnesses who are willing to sign to the protest, so that you may be easily reached.

Submit formal protest to an ASA staff member or board director to be reviewed by the ASA executive board of directors. Protest must be submitted before entry enters the ring.

If any of the above items are not included in the formal protest, the protest will be declared null and void or non-enforceable. =
