Cover Artist

Loren Entz Loren Entz is well known for portraying the simplicity and beauty of western life in his work. Although most of his paintings, drawings, watercolors and sculptures portray ranching and farming life, many also show his deep love of landscapes and nature. Some of the most touching and most loved are paintings that show the bond of family.

Loren started painting and drawing at a very young age.

He grew up on his family’s farm in rural Kansas, which fueled his love for that simple way of life. His spare time was spent outdoors observing and drawing. He often recalls daydreaming in the county’s one room schoolhouse and drawing instead of studying, both of which were not taken lightly by the teacher. He spent many hours admiring the work of western artist Will James.

As a young man, Loren spent time as a ranch hand in eastern Montana. This gave him more background for knowing his subject matter so well. Cowboy by day and artist by night, he soon began to realize that his love of art was where his heart was. Loren became a full time artist in 1981.

Many years of serious drawing and painting and being fully immersed in what he loves to paint developed his talent into what it is today. Loren has been a member of the prestigious group, The Cowboy Artists of America since 1992. He feels extremely honored to be part of this elite group of artists who are equally passionate about the western way of life.

Although many hours are spent at the easel preparing each beautiful canvas, Loren still finds time to go painting on location and gather research for future paintings in various locations.

BLACK HILLS STOCK SHOW & RODEO® 2019

TRI-STATE LIVESTOCK NEWS

He has been known to take a 14-hour road trip to capture a forest scene that he couldn’t stop thinking about. He can be found anywhere from Texas to Nebraska to Delaware and back to Montana again in less than a week; all for the sake of gathering inspiration and capturing a composition. Sketching on the steering wheel and snapping photos along the journey makes way for some remarkable paintings. Sometimes he can be found gathering cows on a friends’ ranch or on a horse-packing trip into the mountains just for the opportunity to get that awesome experience onto canvas. Loren’s ability to convey a story through the brush and pencil often gives others a unique perspective on the western way of life.

Recently, Loren was presented with the Will Rogers award from the Academy of Western Artists for his role in preserving the western way of life. Many other artists were also recognized by this group and Loren is honored to be associated with such a talented group of individuals. Although Loren feels blessed to have had many of his paintings and drawings receive recognition and awards in his career, he is most thankful for the opportunity and talent to be able to do what he loves every single day. Tenacity and perseverance to do what he loves has become the driving force behind Loren’s success. He often tells aspiring artists just to “have a dream and never give up.”

Biography proudly written by Rebecca Timmerman, Loren’s daughter.

This provides you with more consistent crop fl ow into your baler while maintaining belt speed for a denser and more uniform bale. You’ll benefi t from the eight-function Command Grip™ lever not only for speed and direction changes, but also for bale ejection by pressing the hydraulic remote button, which is one of the controller’s eight features.

CODY JOHNSON IN THE BLACK HILLS STOCK SHOW® STAMPEDE FRIDAY, FEB. 1 • 7 P.M. Kerstad Event Center, Central States Fairgrounds

The Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo® is excited to announce Cody Johnson to headline the Black Hills Stock Show Stampede Concert.

Johnson has earned recognition as the only unsigned artist in history to sell out NRG Stadium at Rodeo Houston. His ability to show his soul while singing, and connect with fans made him “self-sufficient” and hold out on record labels. Now signed with Warner Music Nashville, Johnson is continuing to rise in Country Music, winning Texas Regional Radio’s Male Vocalist again.

“On My Way To You,” Johnson’s first single, is followed by others such as “Wild As You” and “With You I Am” “inspired by ‘90s country foundation but built for the 21st century,” the Texas native pours raw power into his performances, making them memorable.

This year he’ll be on stage at the Stockman’s Ball, which is nothing new to the former president who has emceed more than one event in the last 35-plus years. But this time he’ll be receiving the Silver Spur Hall of Fame Award, rather than presenting it. “It’s humbling to be chosen for this. It’s a great honor to be recognized for things I’ve enjoyed doing for so many years,” Lucas said.

Lucas looks forward to the Black Hills Stock Show each year, though he knows how much time and energy goes into making it happen.

“It’s an unbelievably great event. The Stock Show happens because of all of the volunteers.

Some people give their heart and soul to this group to put on a fantastic horse sale, livestock sales, the booth rentals and the rodeo itself.

The Stock Show happens because of all the volunteers, or we couldn’t put it on. You couldn’t afford to pay all the people who are involved with the fair and Stock Show.”

Lucas learned about the hard work and commitment that goes into any ag-related endeavor growing up on a ranch near Reliance, where his family raised cattle and sheep, and his dad was also involved in custom farming. “I spent a lot of hours on the seat of a tractor and windrower back when there were no cabs, heat or air conditioning,” he says.

He started in 4-H when he was ten and was involved with the program until he went to college at South Dakota State University, where he studied business and was on the livestock judging team.

Lucas’s community involvement extends far beyond the Central States Fair and Black Hills Stock Show, to the Rapid City Chamber of Commerce, including serving on the board of directors and the chamber ag committee.

Lucas also spent 30 years as a director for the Western Junior Livestock Show, and was a director for South Dakota Ag Rural Leadership.

He is also active in the Western South Dakota Buckaroos, is a lifetime member of the Custer Trail Riders and belongs to the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. His family also keeps him busy. He has been married to Laurie for 42 years, and they have three daughters and eight grandkids—five of whom have participated in the World’s Smallest Rodeo.

“Along comes Limousin — the carcass breed — in 1968,” said Peterson.

“We wanted to increase our dressing percentage and curability in our feedlot cattle, so we began AI’ing to Limousin sires in 1970. It didn’t take long for us to see a marked improvement in our weaning weights, but the big thing that got us excited was our dressing percentage went up and the number of Yield Grade 4s and 5s greatly reduced.”

Peterson said neighbors started noticing the Limousin-cross calves in the pasture

high school.

Larson always felt an intense desire to be around horses, and his dad set up a trade for a gelding named Honda with a nearby rancher.

“That unique payment plan between my dad and a very tolerant rancher named Fritz Wientjes included random deliveries of cases of canned food and cartons of cigarettes from our store,” Larson said. “I will always be grateful to my dad, since nobody else in my family shared my horse addiction. Needless to say, my first horse was a challenge and subsequently tested me daily in those gumbo pastures west river along the Missouri River breaks.”

In addition to that first horse, Larson rode friends’ horses every chance he got and, for a time, he worked for $1 per day at a then “fledgling race stable owned by our veterinarian’s son, Bill Mott,” Larson said. “He was a year ahead of me in school, attended the same church, and he trained racehorses throughout high school.” Bill went on to eventually become the trainer of the champion racehorse Cigar, among others, and is still a leading trainer at Churchill Downs.

Larson was also heavily influenced by a trainer near Gettysburg, South Dakota, Tom Eliason, who was an AQHA judge, and also ran a band of Quarter Horse broodmares.

“He showed successfully in almost every AQHA show event offered,” Larson said. “Eventually, he showed an AQHA World Champion in roping; he excelled in every aspect of the industry.”

Following in Eliason’s shoes, Larson showed professionally for others and hauled a few of his own horses from the mid 1970s into the early 1990s. A lone broodmare that he purchased at the Denver Stock Show in 1982 provided Larson with some showing stock, including her first foal Parsuasive, sired by a full brother to Zan Parr Bar named Par For The Course.

“I showed her to many AQHA class wins as a foal while still on the mare and sold her that fall as a weanling,” Larson said. “She became an AQHA Champion, Superior Halter Horse, Canadian National Champion, and more.

At the summer show in Sioux Falls in 1984, my broodmare, her foal, and her yearling filly were all in the same Grand

Pioneer Awards

By Shauna Kopren

The 27th Annual Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo Pioneer Awards and Cowboy Breakfast will take place on a new date and in a new location. The breakfast is schduled for Saturday, Jan. 26 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Rapid City. The Pioneer Awards honor individuals in three different categories that have made contributions to various different aspects of agriculture in South Dakota and have been pioneers in their respected fields. Winners of the awards are nominated and selected by the committee with regards to how they fit the criteria.

The three awards include the Pioneer Ranch Award, which is given to a ranch that is still an operating ranch in the original generational ownership without break. This is the second year that this award has been given out. The next is the Pioneer Spirit Award which is given to individuals who are not specifically in the ranching and agriculture field but have made notable contributions to the area, community and agriculture industry. The third category is the Pioneer Award which is given to an number of individuals in the ranching and agriculture business community that have made significant contributions to or impacted the Black Hills Stock Show and Central States Fair throughout the years.

TRI-STATE LIVESTOCK NEWS

Michalek has been taking medication for two years, increasing his bone density, which was lacking because of hypophosphatasia.

For Black Hills Stock Show Cattleman’s Legacy heifer recipient Colton Michalek, choosing a favorite animal to show is nearly impossible because he loves them all. Any chance the 14-year-old gets to show, he’s game, whether it is a goat, steer, sheep, rabbit, pig, dog, chi cken, duck, horse, or heifer, he has shown them all. He relishes the chance to be a showman.

“He likes the showmanship side of things, it doesn’t matter what species,” said Colton’s dad, Marty Michalek. “It doesn’t matter what he has for an animal, he goes out there and feels he has a shot.”

The first thing Colton plans to do upon receiving his heifer at Black Hills Stock Show is to print a banner with the donor’s name to proudly display at his future shows. Long-term plans, he will incorporate the heifer into his modest herd at the family’s acreage in Chamberlain, South Dakota. Both of his parents come from a ranching background and found ways for their children to be involved in agriculture.

about four teeth in his mouth. Doctors told Mandy and Marty that they weren’t sure what was affecting their son, but that he was mostly fine, except, of course, his teeth, but they had a different instinct as parents. After going through many doctors, a doctor in Omaha finally diagnosed their son with juvenile hypophosphatasia. In the years between his diagnosis to about the age of 12, the Michaleks were able to get Colton on new medicine to address his low bone density and pain.

“Kids get to a certain age, and their bones are unable to support their body. They were concerned about him leading a normal life and dealing with bones breaking for exertion or anything like that,” Marty said. “When he hit about 12, they put him on a medicine that is supposed to counteract effects of the disorder.”

At the age of 12.5, his bones were comparable to a 10.5-year-old. Today, at 14, they compare to that of a 13-year-old.

“I get shots for it to help me; my bones start aching and it makes me tired when I take them, but I think it’s really helping me start to grow,” Colton said.

In addition to rodeoing and showing horses and livestock, Colton Michalek loves track, basketball, and shooting sports.

While he experiences some aches on the medication, it doesn’t compare to the pain prior to the treatment, Mandy said. He is able to actually feel headaches now, while the occasional headache isn’t desired, it’s normal for kids his age, and prior to treatment they were overshadowed by his other pain.

“He’s always been an active kid and has never had broken bones, but he probably should have. We’re very fortunate,” Marty said.

He didn’t care.”

“His body does not produce an enzyme, so the drugs aren’t making him grow, but it’s making his bones stronger when he does grow,” Mandy said.

Hypophosphatasia has never stopped Colton from showing or rodeoing, even when his doctors advised against it. He has never broken a bone, a blessing, his dad said, considering how many small wrecks he has encountered rodeoing that normal parents wouldn’t pay much mind to.

Although the Bertsches are still building their own herd, Brandon says he has been around the business since he was born, and he showed his first heifer when he was 4 years old. “I’ve been hooked ever since,” he says.

Together they started their own herd in 2015, selecting lots off the Thomas Ranch dispersal (near Harrold, S.D.) and showed their own cattle for the first time in 2017. “Our focus since the start has been to produce sound, highly functional cattle with a tremendous amount of eye appeal,” says Bertsche.

This year marks the third year they have been showing their own stock, including Charolais, Hereford and Red Angus, at the BHSS. “We feel the Black Hills Stock Show is the premier stock show in the country,” says Brandon. “It brings in the best cattlemen from all over the west and Midwest to showcase, compete and sell their best cattle.

Many of them are sold to purebred herds as well as to some of the most successful commercial herdsmen.”

For Brandon Bertsche, showing cattle also involves looking at progeny – and not just the four-legged variety.

“My main goal when starting our herd was to be able to raise my kids the same way I was raised, in the best industry in the country,” Bertsche says.

Briggston Bertsche recently showed his heifer, Baby Dottie, for the first time at the Jordan Mack Memorial Calf in Waterton, S.D. and was selected champion Charolais heifer and fifth in overall breeds. “He had a blast and has a passion for those cattle, even more than I remember having at that age,” says Brandon. “And Bevin is patiently waiting for her first chance in the ring.”

As both families continue to build their legacies for the next generation, good cattle and the Black Hills Stock Show will continue to play a leading role.

Christian and country music artist Susie McEntire-Eaton and her husband Mark Eaton will hold Cowboy Church at the Black Hills Stock Show in Rapid City on January 27, at 9 am.

Susie has been bringing her music to Black Hills Stock Show attendees for years, and for the last nine years, with her husband, Mark Eaton, who presents the message.

Rodeo and the western crowds are familiar to Susie.

The daughter of Clark

I really never get bored doing what I do because it ’s always different.

I love it.

But later, she started singing with tracked music, realizing how easy and inexpensive it was.

She and Luchsinger divorced in 2008 after a tumultuous marriage and abuse by Luchsinger.

Eighteen months later, she married Mark Eaton, a native of Seattle and a stranger to the rodeo and ranch world. She and Mark joke during their shows that he didn’t know the difference between a Hereford and a

McEntire, a three-time world champion steer roper and his wife Jacqueline, she grew up her older siblings Pake and Reba in the back of the car as the family traveled to rodeos.

To keep the “chatter” down in the back seat as the family traveled, Jacqueline taught the kids three-part harmony.

Brother Pake took the lead as his sisters Reba and Susie added the harmony. Clark couldn’t sing; when asked if he could sing, he laughed and said, “yes, I can play the linoleum.” The kids’ musical ability came from their mother.

After college, Susie worked with Reba and her blossoming music career, both in the office and as a backup singer.

When she married in 1981, and her first child was born, she got off the road.

In 1984, Susie began singing Christian music, traveling the rodeo circuit with her first husband, Paul Luchsinger. At

Wayne Brooks Rodeo Rapid City Announcer

As a PRCA announcer, Wayne Brooks brings a fresh enthusiasm to the sport enjoyed by thousands across the nation. Like many announcers, his rodeo career began in the arena as a contestant. While competing in the rough stock events, he gained an insight into the sport, which he presents to the audience to make them truly a part of each performance. His broadcasting background has proven invaluable in rodeo promotion and sponsor recognition. Combining these experiences, Wayne creates an announcing style that is both informative and entertaining. Whether it’s wild and western or polished and professional, it’s excitement at its best!

A PRCA member since 1994, Wayne had the honor of being chosen as the 2005, 2010, 2013, 2014 and 2016 PRCA Announcer of the Year, with seven additional nominations in this category. Wayne was selected as one of the announcers at the Wrangler National Finals in 2005, 2013-2018 after making his NFSR debut in 2000 with the legendary Clem McSpadden. He has announced the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo in Pocatello, Idaho, three times and the Pace Picante ProRodeo Chute-Out five times. Wayne has been the voice at the Canadian Finals Rodeo for the past eight years, as well as the Indian Nationals Finals five times. His resume also includes finals in the Mountain States, Turquoise, Columbia River, and Wilderness Circuits. He announces other such respected rodeos as the Calgary Stampede, Reno Rodeo, Pendleton Roundup, California Rodeo Salinas, Rodeo Austin, Red Bluff Roundup, Black Hills Stock Show Rodeo, and the Clovis Rodeo.

Though he was born in Prescott, Arizona, he was reared on the ranchlands of Wyoming and Colorado. He believes it was this raising that instilled in him the importance of preserving the heritage of the West. He continues to give credence to the mystique of being Western at each performance he announces.

He believes “”being involved in rodeo has provided me the opportunity to do what I enjoy. It’s the people that make a difference and rodeo has the best.”

When he’s not announcing rodeos, Wayne serves as a commercial voice talent. He and his wife, Melanie, have two daughters, Taylor and Sheridan, and a son, Ace. Although they travel across the United States and Canada, they make their home in Lampasas, Texas.

Will Rasmussen Rodeo Rapid City Announcer

Will Rasmussen announces some of the biggest and best professional rodeos in the United States. He has been chosen to announce the Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo four times, the Montana Circuit Finals Rodeo nineteen times and announced the first ever Wrangler Champions Challenge in Redding, CA. He was chosen to host the Cowboy Corral show at the Thomas and Mack in Las Vegas during the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo by Las Vegas Events. He was nominated for 2018 PRCA Announcer of the Year. A smooth, easy-listening voice, solid knowledge of rodeo and a style that is both entertaining and informative are the mix of elements that make him one of the PRCA’s most popular rodeo announcers.

The Choteau, Montana native’s love of rodeo stems from his experience as the oldest child of the “Rodeoing Rasmussens,” a family in which just about everyone was involved in the sport of rodeo and recently inducted into Montana’s Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame. His mother was a timer and his father an announcer. One brother is a competitor, while his youngest, Flint, is an eight-time PRCA Clown of the Year.

Rasmussen says the thrill of announcing rodeos never gets old. “It’s a great reward to have thousands of people to respond positively to something that’s happened and to know you helped that along,” Rasmussen says.

Rasmussen’s trademark is his enthusiasm for the sport and his ability to involve the entire audience in each of the rodeo events. His commentary is down-toearth, sprinkled with rodeo facts and trivia that make the show understandable and enjoyable for veteran fans and first-time enthusiasts. “My job is to educate the folks that want to learn about the sport and to inform the folks that are already educated, and to entertain everyone!

“Jersey” Jake Ostrum Rodeo Rapid City P RCA Music Director Growing up on the East Coast in Woodstown, New Jersey, Professional Rodeo Music Director Jake Ostrum’s love of America’s original sport of rodeo began at a young age. One would think rodeo would be hard to find in New Jersey, but Jake lived only one mile from the longest-running weekly PRCA rodeo in the country, the legendary Cowtown Pro Rodeo. It was at Cowtown where he spent his Saturday nights, every summer, for as long as he can remember. Jake has been a part of pretty much every aspect of rodeo from announcing to actually producing his own rodeo events. However, his heart kept bringing him back to his true passion of music. Jake’s talent with musical instruments took him across the country, and even to LA for two years, but he realized his true calling was a different kind of music on a different kind of stage, an arena.

He began his professional rodeo career in 2010 as a music director and has since built a library of music of every genre that is second to none. He spends countless hours refining his play list and cutting the perfect songs so that he can set the tone before, during, and after a rodeo. His songs, and his ability to know just when to play them, provide a level of entertainment that has been enjoyed around the pro rodeo world at events like the New Mexico State Fair & Rodeo, Kansas Largest Night Rodeo, and Rodeo Rapid City just to name a few. He has even been selected the last three years as the music director for the PRCA First Frontier Circuit Finals Rodeo. Sit back, relax, and be prepared to be taken on a musical journey from Hello to Happy Trails.

Allan Dessel

Rodeo Rapid City Barrelman I was raised in rural Cherokee County, Iowa. I grew up six miles from the Barnes PRCA rodeo ranch. My rodeo career started when I began helping the Barnes family at their rough stock schools when I was about 13. The Barnes Ranch was actually the first place I ever fought a bull. Ever since I can remember, all I wanted to do in life was fight bulls. My dad was a professional bullfighter for ten years before I was born. I grew up listening to his stories and looking at pictures of him. I was hooked.

I started fighting bulls as a sophomore in high school at the age of 15. That spring I got my first job at a high school rodeo in Estherville, Iowa. From there I continued to make connections and worked on my bull fighting. I was accepted into the PRCA the summer after I graduated from high school. I was 18 at the time.

I fought my first PRCA rodeo one day after my 19th birthday in my hometown of Cherokee, Iowa. In 2003 and 2004, I worked over 40 performances per year, in 9 states, from Nebraska to New Jersey. I ended my rookie year in the PRCA by working the Benny Binion Bucking Bull Sale at the NFR in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Since 2003, I have been elected to fight bulls at the Great Lakes Circuit Finals in Louisville, Kentucky, in 2004, 2006, and 2008. During the fall of 2006 I was urged to become a clown/barrelman as well as a bullfighter, by some of my fellow rodeo peers. I began putting some ideas and acts together.

I traveled to Soper, OK during Christmas break from college in December 2006 and learned a lot about what it takes to be a good barrelman from PRCA barrelman and specialty act, John Harrison. In January 2007 I worked my first rodeo as a barrelman. I spent the rest of 2007 and 2008 fighting bulls and working as a barrelman.

In the fall of 2008 I was approved for my PRCA clown/barrelman and specialty act card. In 2010 I was chosen to work the Prairie Circuit Finals as a barrelman and in January of 2014 I was chosen to perform at the First Frontier Circuit Finals.

I also wear many hats outside of the arena. In May 2007, I graduated from Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa with a physics major and a minor in math and education. After graduation I took a year off before accepting a job teaching high school math and physics in Soper, OK. I taught high school there for eight years. My subjects included Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, Chemistry, and Physics. After teaching, I accepted a job at an income tax preparation office in Antlers, OK. After working there for three years, in May of 2017 my family and I moved back to Iowa. Along with being a barrelman, I currently work at Foundational Analytical Lab as a feed and wastewater analyst, as well as getting my own tax preparation business off the ground. My wife Mandy, and I have a small herd of cattle, horses, and kids. Our three children are Gracie, 8, Stran, 5, and Trig, 3.

Justin Rumford Rodeo Rapid City Barrelman

The only difference between Justin Rumford and a stand-up comedian is that Rumford is doing his job from the middle of a rodeo arena instead of a stage with a spotlight. Rumford, who lives in Ponca City, Okla., is a rodeo clown at events from coast to coast.

His job during the rodeo is two-fold. He provides the laughs and banters with the announcer. But during the bull riding his more dangerous job begins. Rumford is a barrelman: the cowboy who works the barrel, providing an oasis of safety for bullfighters and bull riders, in case an angry bull decides to chase them.

Rumford grew up in a rodeo family and competed in junior high, high school and college rodeo. He was a full time steer wrestler, but then blew out his knee. While he recovered, he worked as an assistant rodeo coach at Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford. After his knee healed, he helped with the Cody (Wyo.) Night Rodeo for three seasons, then began as a livestock truck driver for North Platte’s stock contractor, Bennie Beutler of Beutler and Son Rodeo. He never considered being a full time rodeo clown, but after a few tries as clown, he changed his mind. “I worked the Pretty Prairie (Kan.) bull riding, and they gave me a great check. And I thought, why the heck am I working so hard when I can get paid to have fun! So I jumped ship for the clown life.”

And lucky for rodeo fans, Rumford is still clowning, and winning honors at it. In 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 he’s been honored as the PRCA’s Clown of the Year. The award is voted on by his peers and rodeo committees, and Justin is humbled to get it. “I don’t know if I deserve it, but I’m fortunate to accept it. It’s unbelievable.” In 2018 he was also awarded the Coors Man in the Can title.

In September of 2013, he and his wife Ashley became the parents of triplets, daughters Livi and Lola, and a son, Bandy. “I have a 44 foot trailer,” he said, “and I can bring the whole family with me.”
