A new life-saving procedure keeps him young at heart.

A farmer all his life, 87-year-old Leo was used to hard work. So when he began feeling tired, he blamed his age. But his doctor discovered he had congestive heart failure, and was too high-risk for open heart surgery. Instead, Leo had a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, or TAVR, at St. Vincent Healthcare — the only hospital in the region to offer it. With this lessinvasive procedure, a new valve was routed to Leo’s heart through an artery in his leg. And in just a few weeks, Leo felt more energetic than he had in years.

There’s hope for high-risk heart patients at St. Vincent Healthcare. Learn more at svh.org/tavr.

Spotlight GRANT REDDEN was born and raised in south-

west Wyoming. His father was foreman of one of the largest sheep ranches in the state, running 21,000 head of sheep. When Grant was 12, his father purchased his own outfit with 5,000 Columbia ewes and 300 mother cows.

The work, always a family affair, became even more intense. Horses were an integral part of his family's operation, including camp horses, pack strings in the summer, and draft horses to pull camps and feed the livestock in heavy winters. Naturally, they are a major part of his art.

Checking the Herd

The Big Bay Mare

Painting the rural lifestyle, its people, its landscape, and the livestock, is what motivates Grant as an artist. After graduating from Utah State University with a B.S. in Agricultural Economics, Grant was a real estate appraiser for residential, commercial, and farm/ranch properties for 10 years before focusing on his love and passion for painting the west. After much hard work and dedication, he began selling his work through several galleries and being invited to group shows and museum shows. Primarily self-taught, Grant credits several living masters as his mentors who encouraged him and gave good direction, including Jim Norton, Gerald Fritzler, Walt Gonske, Mark Daily, and many others.

In 2010 Grant was invited to join the Northwest Rendezvous of Artists. In

18" x 24"

2012, he was inducted into the Cowboy Artists of America, the longestlived artist group in the country, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. In his first year to show with the group, Grant won a Silver Medal for watercolor painting, and the Gold Medal for oil painting. Then, again in 2014, he won the Gold Medal for oil painting.

Grant credits a supportive family, encouraging friends, and a generous and patient Father in Heaven for his success and progress. His work is represented by Plainsman Gallery of Dunedin, Florida; Wild Horse Gallery, Steamboat Colorado; Simpson Gallagher Gallery, Cody, Wyoming; Wilcox Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming; Woodriver Fine Art in Sun Valley Idaho; Grapevine Gallery in Oklahoma City, Ok.

Welcome TO THE 2015 NILE!

FROM NILE PRESIDENT JOHN CARREL

DEVELOPING NILE INTO ONE OF THE PREMIER STOCK shows and rodeos in the country does not come without a lot of hard work from staff, members, volunteers, committees, boards and the community.

We are closing in on NILE number 50 and we wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the foresight of many in the beginning and those that persevered in the lean years. In return, the NILE generates nearly $2.4 million worth of economic impact on the Billings area. From beginning to end the NILE has become one of the top shows in the country.

In line with our goals, the NILE brings agriculture and youth together through the Merit Heifer program, Junior Fed, Club calf, 4th grade education and an increasing number of scholarships. Whether through the NILE or the NILE foundation please help support our youth in agriculture.

The NILE continues to grow, thus the necessity to make it longer.

The trade show will be a key part of this with something for everyone.

With NILE’s experienced horse committee, you will see the sale and futurity quality runs deep.

The rodeos will kick off with NILE ranch rodeo finals. This is followed by several nights of PRCA cowboys and cowgirls competing for this year’s increased purses.

Finally, the NILE would not be possible without the continued support of the businesses and community. Please support these businesses as they are a key part of NILE's wellbeing.

We invite you to join us this year.

A MESSAGE FROM JENNIFER C. BOKA, NILE GENERAL MANAGER

AND, WE’RE OFF!!

It is once again time for the Northern International Livestock Exposition hosted annually! Since its inception in 1967, the NILE Organization has made it their mission to support, embrace and promote the future of agriculture. The Annual NILE Stock Show and Rodeo is just one way that the NILE works to achieve the mission and what an exceptional way it is.

Rolling out the welcome mat for exhibitors to our Junior Fed, Cattle Shows, Trade Shows and visitors on Oct. 10 this year, the NILE continues to grow. Starting shows three days earlier this year is the result of exponential growth in entries and exhibitors the last few years.

We welcome the junior exhibitors, leading off with the Market Hog Show on Sunday at noon. The Market Beef Show this year is Sunday at 6 p.m. and is followed on Monday by the Market Lambs and Goats. As always, a highlight of the Stock Show is the Junior Fed Sale which will Tuesday this year at 5 p.m.

Breeding Cattle shows are mainstay of the Stock Show and the Galloways lead off. Beginning bright and early Sunday, Oct. 11 at 8 a.m. followed by 13 other Breed Shows including the new addition of the South Devon show. The last show of the week is on Saturday

Cowboy-Girl How to be a

Ever seen those window stickers on a big 4WD truck that says ‘Silly Boys, Trucks are for Girls’?

Well, I’ve seen a handful in my day. I have had many people tell me I should slap one on my truck and I, as tactfully as possible, told them--no, thank you. Those are corny.

I have a sister who lives in San Francisco and she told me one day that I was the most feminist woman she knows. I was pretty offended by that, because I am not trying to be a feminist at all. My rebuttal was something along the lines of, “Hey that’s not true! I like to cook. I keep a clean house.

I want to be a mother. I like to wear a dress from time to time, and I want to end up with a man who is manlier than me someday.”

I could hear her laughter cutting me off from across the phone. She said, “Tay, I know you are trying to be a lady but you are working in a very male dominated industry, you’ve held down multiple men’s jobs and that is kind of awesome.”

I told her that I wasn’t accepting these positions to be “kind of awesome;” I work on ranches because I love it. I love being involved in the beef industry, I want to learn as much as I can about ranching and the best way to do that is to work on ranches.

I once did an interview with a magazine and they asked me to give some tips to other women who want to be, or already are involved in ranching.

This is a blog posts from our working horse blog, Cavvy Savvy.

Here are my thoughts: Bring the occasional baked good to work. Don’t try to be “one of the guys”--be a woman and let them benefit from your homemaker skills.

Be a woman who can do it all but find a crew that won’t make you.

Don’t talk about your skills--have a good resume and then come to work prepared to showcase your skills. After all, people have different opinions of what handy is, so you don’t want to claim you are super handy when they might think it is something completely different than you do. You may know how to do the task at hand but first find out how the boss wants it done.

Expect the hard physical work of ranching to show on your body. I was in two weddings this past summer and I went to a nail salon to get my nails shaped and painted. I was expecting this process to make my man-hands look like beautiful ladyhands. I just ended up with tranny hands.

So back to my spiel about the window stickers--I think women need to stop telling the world to look at them because they are doing things men usually do. Just do what you love, because it makes you happy, not for the attention. As a result you may become “kind of awesome.” So prepare yourself for that.

JUST LIKE THE OLD DAYS

r

anchers and their livestock have found their way to this shipping point for more than a century so the bawling and clip-clop of hooves are familiar sounds.

In earlier times, the site where Billings now stands was a natural traffic area for wildlife, Indian tribes, explorers and trappers, since it was the only place for many miles that a herd of buffalo or a person could get down off the rimrocks on either side, to cross the river. “There was a crack in the cliffs where you can get down to the river, on both sides,” says Joyce Jensen, community historian. It was a major trail for thousands of years, before the white men showed up.

Many colorful characters and fascinating events surround the early history of what is now the only city in Montana with more than 100,000 people. Lewis and Clark passed through Montana in 1806 and Clark camped where Billings stands now. “One of the men with Clark, John Colter, later asked permission to come back upriver. He and several other men established a fort and spent the winter here trading with Indians for furs. They did a little trapping, but mostly trading for beaver pelts because beaver hats were very popular. Lewis and Clark had been told to watch for economic opportunities and beaver was one of the things they found out here,” Jensen says.

fter the early days of exploration, adventurers, trappers, miners and first settlements this became the central location for hauling freight to Judith Basin and the Musselshell. But until Colter built his fort, the location was mostly bare.

There were a few homesteads and some farming along the river, all very close to that same point in time. “There was a town that pre-dated Billings, called Couwlson, that was started along the river in 1877, which is the same year Chief Joseph and his tribe came through in their attempt to escape the Cavalry. Coulson was a rough town, with no schools or churches, and darn few women,” says Jensen. “It was strictly a young man’s town.”It did have a ferry—for crossing the river—and a sawmill, and a twostory hotel. “The Crow Indians had a word for this town, which meant ‘where they cut wood,’ because of the sawmill. When the railroad came, Coulson and Billings (a slightly later settlement nearby) were vying for which town it would go through. The story is that Coulson got greedy and asked too much money, but I think the reality was because of the way the survey worked, giving the railroad every other section. There is a baseline that runs through Billings, splitting it between north and south—and there were two railroad sections that were close together. They didn’t quite overlap, but they did a little, because surveying was not an exact science at that time,” she says.

“So right there, next to Billings, instead of having 640 acres the railroad actually had 1,280. This was two miles from Coulson. For a while both towns coexisted, and there was a horse-drawn trolley that would

SHEEP WERE MORE PLENTIFUL THAN CATTLE, AT FIRST, PARTLY BECAUSE OF THE DEMAND FOR WOOL, AND PARTLY BECAUSE THEY REPRODUCED MORE QUICKLY take people to Coulson to pick up their mail and get a beer at the end of the ride.

But it was obvious that Billings was going to be the town that would grow.

Coulson had a good claim, because the railroad bridge went right where their ferry had been, since it was the only place you could cross the river. And it’s still there—along with the Interstate bridges,” she says.

Billings became a railroad town with stockyards and slaughterhouse—a shipping point for cattle going to market from a large outlying region. Eventually the fast-growing town was named after Northern Pacific Railway president Frederick H. Billings. He served as president from 1879 until 1881, according to Kevin Manning, Yellowstone Western Heritage Center. “One of the famous old books he had in his library in Vermont was called The Beef Bonanza: How to Get Rich on the Plains, by James Brisbane—who was promoting this as cattle country,” says Manning.

Local color and Wild West flavor abounded in those early days. “One of the early cattlemen of that day, James Kenneth Ralston, later became a famous artist. He wanted some formal training in art, so he took a trainload of cattle to Chicago, sold the cattle, and entered the Chicago Art Institute. We have his old cabin

here on our grounds, and a lot of his paintings in our museum,” says Manning.

“Yellowstone Kelly—the famous explorer/trapper/trader/Indian scout—is buried here in Billings on the ridge top at Seward’s Rimrock Park. He died in 1928 and they kept his body on ice. They buried him in June 1929 so he could be in the company of several military leaders who were able to honor him at his burial at that time, since he was a veteran of the Civil War and the Spanish-American War.” “In the late 1920s Billings accepted the statue of William S. Hart, the famous cowboy movie star of silent movies. He donated the statue of himself and his horse King. The sculpture was called ‘Range Rider on the Yellowstone’ and it overlooks the city, up by the airport,” says Manning.

“He was a cowboy hero in many silent movies and was very dramatic. In his last movie, Tumbleweeds, he seems over-dramatic, but those exaggerated gestures were what worked in the silent movie era. The statue he donated was about the same time the talking movies were taking over.”

ne of the most colorful stories of the early days in Billings was that of Sheriff James T. Webb. “He was a stock inspector who became a hero when he apprehended a criminal and then became the Sheriff of Yellowstone County.

He was later killed in the line of duty trying to apprehend a horse thief up by the Musselshell River valley.” The James T. Webb memorial fountain is now on the grounds of the Yellowstone County Courthouse.

The Native American influence is another important piece of Billings culture.

“We are in the heart of Crow country. I still work with many of them and it always cracked me up when they’d jokingly tell me that they are the only people who can be cowboys and Indians. There is a strong tradition here of ranching and horses, with the Crows,” says Manning.

“A famous speech by a Crow chief named Arapooish contains a classic quote that people of Billings like to refer to, found in a writing by Washington Irving (who also wrote The Legend of Sleepy Hollow). The quote is: ‘The Crow country is in exactly the right place. It has snowy mountains, sunny plains, all kinds of climates, good things for every season. When the summer heat scorches the prairies you can draw up under the mountains where

the air is sweet and cool, the grass fresh and the bright streams come tumbling out of the snowbanks—and there you can hunt elk, deer and the antelope.’ The part that everyone likes to quote is that Crow country is in exactly the right place and everything good is to be found here.’ There is a tradition of ranching because the country here is suited for it—wide open, with good grass.”

A book by William Lang, Stories from an Open Country, is a series of essays. “There is a Crow essay, and one from a Northern Cheyenne, and an essay about the country itself. There is a statement in this book about how eastern Montana is open range country.” It was good buffalo country, and naturally good cattle country.

“Paul McCormick was an early cattleman here. There was a lot of cattle ranching in this area,” Manning said, adding that, as a shipping point, Billings itself catered to all type of industry early on. “It had the stockyards and processing plants, sugar beet processing, and many other businesses, and the city grew large. But in the 1920s and ‘30s the Chamber of Commerce spent a lot of time promoting the Old West. That was when the William Hart statue showed up, and Yellowstone Kelly’s grave was created. The city fathers were capitalizing on those early romantic times and stories,” says Manning.

In reality, Billings was the center point for bringing goods to market. “The

sheep industry was huge here. Charlie Bair was a famous, wealthy entrepreneur who got his start through the sheep business,” he says.

“Bair had a lease that included the entire Crow Reservation, for his sheep.

He shipped more than 100,000 pounds of wool on one freight train. Wool was very important then, and sheep were a very large industry,” Jensen says.

The big theater downtown is the Alberta Bair Theater, named after his daughter. “The big names in Billings were often people who owned big sheep or cattle outfits in the surrounding areas. This was the center point for marketing the livestock,” Manning says. Sheep were more plentiful than cattle, at first, partly because of the demand for wool, and partly because they reproduced more quickly. “I was told

that people in those days always say that if you started out with a cattle herd, trailing them to market, you would end up at your destination than fewer cows and it would take all summer,” says Jensen. “If you started out with a flock of sheep, you would end up at your destination with more sheep because their lambs would be born along the way!”

There were also many ranchers around the area who raised cattle.

“Some of the old families are still here, like the Weldons and the Coopers. Some of them were friends of my parents and grandparents. My grandfather arrived here in 1915, but the older generations of Weldons and Coopers arrived in the 1800s,” she says.

“Billings was intended to be a business community, as opposed to nearby Coulson that was a young man’s town,” says Jensen. “This is evidenced by Minnesota and Montana Land Improvement Company donating town lots for schools and churches. There had not been a school or church of any kind in Coulson. The founding fathers of Billings intended this town to be here for a long time. But the land they donated was a ways out of town (at that time) and a long ways to walk to school.

One church turned down their lot because the land was too far from town and too swampy! But they did intend it to be a permanent and growing community and not just a boisterous frontier town,” Jensen says.

PARTNER UP FOR EDUCATION

“ TELL ME AND I FORGET, TEACH ME AND

w

hen two entities with a common goal come together to create opportunity, the outcome has unlimited potential. The common goal in this instance is education. While it is obvious that the goal of Montana State University is education, it may not be quite as obvious that the Northern International Livestock Exposition shares that goal.

Both organizations are working to grow awareness and support the future of agriculture through teaching and spreading the ag message. Though our paths may be different, both roads lead to a stronger future for agriculture.

In the spring of 2015, it all began with a meeting of the minds. Jennifer Boka, NILE General Manager, reached out to Montana State University President Waded Cruzado. The two discussed opportunities for a mutual working relationship that could benefit individuals and programs alike.

“Montana State University has a long history of partnering with the livestock industry to help feed the world, improve our state’s economy and educate the next generation of agricultural leaders. Our partnership with NILE is one more step in that path and one we are glad to take,” said Cruzado.

30

A publication of Tri-State Livestock News

Since that initial meeting, the faculty at Montana State University has taken the bull by the horns. Department Head of Animal and Range Sciences Patrick Hatfield shares his thoughts on the new working relationship. “By partnering with NILE, the College of Ag and the MSU rodeo program can better serve the education and outreach mission of both NILE and the College of Ag. One of the things I tell students in my classes is that the Montana’s grazing livestock industry is the “poster child” of sustainable ag. I think through internships and more college student involvement in NILE we can help promote our livestock industry by enhancing hands-on learning with the fundamental sciences of agriculture,” says Hatfield.

No doubt professor Hatfield has hit the nail on the head. By working the Montana State University students into NILE events, we allow them the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in many different areas applying to numerous fields of study. The end result is students that move on into the work force with that extra edge of insight and experience through real world involvement.

We will see students involved from the many different major options at the university. Dr. Shannon Moreaux, DVM, Professor of Equine science will be immersing his students in our many equine events and allowing them the opportunity to gain knowledge of the inner workings of horse sales including the screening process upon check in of the many consignments to the NILE Gold Buckle Sale. The MSU judging team will be on hand during our livestock judging contest under the direction of Hannah DelCurto.

Members of MSU’s award-winning rodeo team will be present for the Rodeo Action of Cat/Griz night at the NILE ProRodeo as well as assisting with our Stock Show Confidential tours under the leadership of the University’s Head Rodeo Coach Andy Bolich.

Education doesn’t stop with youth though. It has been said that in youth we learn and with age we understand. Rachel Endecott, MSU Extension Beef Cattle Specialist, will be coordinating a rancher-focused educational program featuring MSU faculty on Wednesday, Oct. 14 during Ranchers Day at the

NILE. These presentations will focus on production practices applicable to many of our attendees and exhibitors. With topics such as forage quality, forage handling, discussions on Expected Progeny Differences, market forecasting and so much more, the possibilities are endless. It is the hope of both NILE and MSU that working ranch operators and spectators alike can gain perspective into production agriculture through education, presentation and exhibition via this outstanding new partnership.

Visitors to and exhibitors at the NILE will have more and more opportunities to expand their knowledge base with the exceptional resources of Montana State University.

Building on tradition, capitalizing on resources and working together to educate is the goal. Not only teaching our next generation of farmers who feed the world but also to create a broader awareness in the community of how valuable a resource those producers are.

FOR THE

VOLUNTEERING MAY HELP OTHERS, BUT FOR DOROTHY FREY, IT’S JUST FUN

ou never know what Dorothy Frey might have up her sleeve.

“It’s the twinkle in her eye when she’s coming at you,” Monica Cellmer says. “You don’t know what she has in store, but you can’t wait to hear it.”

Cellmer has been the with Northern International Livestock Expo for more than two decades, but Frey was greeting guests with that twinkle in her eyes long before Cellmer started. Cellmer, the membership manager of the Billings-based livestock show and rodeo, went to school with Frey’s children, back when the Frey family was just getting started on their 42-year run as volunteers at the Expo.

At age 85, Frey says she can’t imagine doing anything else that second week in October.

“I keep telling them I’m going to retire, but they keep telling me I’m not!”

It’s then you can hear a sparkling in her voice. “I’m not getting any younger,” she laughs. “But I suppose I’ll just keep going as long as they’ll have me.”

2015 The NILE Stock Show & Rodeo

A VOLUNTEER EFFORT Dorothy and her late husband Kenneth started bartending in the Hospitality Suite in 1973, back when the “200 Club” didn’t quite live up to its name yet.

“We were just a little gathering then – we all fit in one of those skyboxes – and we’d all just bring in chips and dips and pull it together, all volunteer,” Dorothy recalls. The Hospitality Suite serves as a gathering place for NILE members and supporters, hosted by NILE members and supporters, to have a little fun and socialize before the rodeo event. They’ve since far surpassed 200 and switched the title to “NILE Membership,” and while the buildings and events and scope and size and offerings have changed and grown, a few things have stayed the same.

“It’s just gotten bigger and bigger every year. But I think the enthusiasm for the rodeo, and the people, that hasn’t changed at all,” Dorothy says. “And it’s just a great big family. You see people you haven’t seen all year, you catch up with your friends; you just have a good time.”

And her roles have changed – from bartending at the hospitality suite to greeting and the hospitality booth to working in the office to helping set up the trade show

and just about everything in between, Cellmer says. But her favorite job is, and always has been, in the hospitality arena.

Frey’s daughter Dixie moved back to Montana a decade ago and started volunteering, too, taking over her parents first “job” at the NILE in the hospitality suite.

“She’s greeting people at the door and checking passes and giving people a hard time,” Cellmer says. “She can keep order and make sure everybody’s having fun while doing it.”

Dixie, too, is helpful and fun-loving, Cellmer says – “She’ll give you a hard time and a hug. In fact, both of them are huggers.”

Those aren’t the only ways Dixie has followed in mom’s footsteps. Dorothy was voted the NILE’s Volunteer of the Year in 2005, and then again in 2010. In 2014, the honor went to Dixie.

“Last year, to see my daughter get it – that was extra special,” Dorothy says.

“The volunteers are the ones who do it,” Cellmer says.

There are hundreds who make all the wheels turn that second week in October – from the rodeo to the trade show to the hospitality rooms to the school education programs to the horse sales and beyond, she says.

“They do so much, and they’re doing it without anything in return. They do their best to meet people’s needs and make people happy, simply because they really enjoy the NILE and want others to, too.”

HARD WORK, BIG FUN The NILE has been a family affair for the Freys since they began volunteering in the small livestock show start-up’s sixth year. They had some friends involved in the “200 Club,” and they asked if Dorothy and Kenneth would be interested in membership.

“It was – and still is – a farming and ranching organization, and we were farming,” Dorothy says. “And it’s a non-profit, and the money goes to the scholarships.

WANT TO BE A NILE VOLUNTEER? That’s what got us interested, so we just kept with it.”

It’s a simple explanation for a far-reaching cause that grew into 42 years of service.

What kept them coming back each year is even simpler: “It’s just fun to do, that’s all,” she says with a smile.

When Kenneth and Dorothy sold their farm near Broadview, Montana, they moved to California, then Oregon, then to Cody, Wyoming, and back to Broadview.

But in each move, one thing remained the same: October is dedicated to the NILE. “We know better than to plan family things in October,” Dixie laughs.

“No matter where we were, we always managed to get back to the NILE,” Dorothy says. “It’s our vacation. It’s just what we do.”

Sure enough, in those 42 years since their first NILE mixing drinks and serving smiles at the Hospitality Suite bar, Dorothy has only missed two – once on account of a snow storm that prevented them from travelling from Oregon, and the year Kenneth passed away. Now, it’s a special time and place that holds dear memories, too.

“My dad was very proud to be a member of the NILE and volunteer his time,” Dixie says. Dorothy points out the mixture of displays in her home in Cody, including two NILE belt buckles that belonged to Kenneth, and the framed covers of the 40th anniversary premium book he purchased in 2007 at the hospitality suite auction.

“That was really something, to be there for that celebration, and Kenneth just liked that,” she says. “It says right on the bottom there, ‘NILE: 40 years of supporting agriculture.’”

Dixie and her father both have October birthdays, and Kenneth’s would occasionally fall within the week of the NILE, making for an extra special celebration.

“He was just really proud to be a part of it, and he worked hard, making sure everything was set up and ready to go,” Dixiesays.“Andhewouldn’thavechangeditforanythingin the world.”

New volunteers are always welcomed at the NILE. THE NEXT “We need people with all kinds of GENERATION talents – we’ll find the right job for you,” Monica Cellmer says.

“I just remember watching my parents work that week,” Dixie says. “They worked so hard, but it was so fun, because then we all got to go to the rodeo at the end.

That’s what I always looked forward to as a kid.”

That’s still the case, she says, but her perspective has changed.

“Now, I like seeing Henry as a part of the organization. He works really hard when he’s down here, and I’m proud he does that.”

Like her parents, Dixie is passionate about volunteering at the NILE because of its dedication to a younger generation, a dedication she sees in her son’s involvement and in the hundreds of scholarships, awards and education programs organized through the non-profit.

“It’s an organization that’s looking out for the youth, getting them involved, helping them achieve their goals and dreams,” she says. “If you can work a few hours each year to help that kind of organization, well… that’s an incredible feeling.”

A couple years ago, Dorothy was short on volunteers, so she expanded the NILE family again with her own.

“I called up my sister and asked, ‘What are you doing in October?’” Even through the phone, you can imagine that “twinkle” coming at you.

And sure enough, the family tree grew another branch, and her sister has come back each year since. One of Dixie’s cousins is a regular on the volunteer roster, and her brother also volunteered in years past. Her sisters still consider October “NILE family vacation time,” and come from California and Wyoming to enjoy the rodeo, right alongside the thousands of guests Dorothy has greeted and warmly welcomed to the show year after year.

Dorothy and Kenneth Frey have received plaques and recognition for their involvement in the NILE, but it’s the fun and camaraderie that has kept her coming back year after year. Courtesy photo.

“She’s become one of those faces that when people see her, they recognize her and they love her,” Cellmer says.

“She’s greeting people with that twinkle in her eye, and when they see her, they’re glad to be here.”

–———–———– Learning the Kraft A LOVE OF BEEF AND BASKETBALL BRINGS ABOUT DIVERSE EXPERIENCES FOR SETH KRAFT

BY RHONDA SEDGWICK STEARNS

S

eth Kraft is a young man on a mission. “I surely believe beef is one of the strongest industries in the state of Montana,” he said. “The population is growing, so demand increases. If we can get cattle prices back in regulation the industry will boom.”

The budding entrepreneur is enjoying his second year as an Ag Business major at Montana State University (MSU) in Bozeman, focused on discovering every possible way to perfect the business of beef. “I love school there,” Seth said, adding with a wink, “and the weekends are fun, too!”

Both the Northern International Livestock Exposition (NILE) and Town & Country Supply in Billings provided scholarships for Seth as he entered MSU the fall of 2014. Determined to get the most benefit from that aid, he pulled a 3.1 GPA his first semester.

Kraft roots run deep in agriculture along the banks of the Yellowstone River, where Seth’s great grandfather

settled as an emigrant from Germany. “The farm is on the west end of Billings, not far from the Boys’ and Girls’ Ranch,” he explains.

Deeply appreciative of the foundation his elders laid for him as part of the third generation born in America, Seth marvels, “They had to risk a lot to come here, but they knew it was a privilege to become an American. They risked everything, and they couldn’t bring a heck of a lot with them, so they had to literally start from the ground up. Now, my grandfather Richard Kraft sleeps in the same room he was born in here on the farm, in a house his father built, and he’s one of my best friends.”

The intrepid spirit and faith in God that put those German Krafts onto a ship with their meager belongings and pushed them over unknown seas and halfway across the United States to stake their claim in partially timbered grasslands near the historic Bozeman Trail burns strongly in Seth. Having matured shortly above four foot is a

challenge he takes in stride. “I know God made me small for a reason,” he grins.

“Sometimes I want to be tall,” Seth admits, “but then I consider people I know who’ve gone through tragic wrecks and are paralyzed and such, and I know there are a lot of things worse than being small. Even if you did not want to be a small person, you can’t do anything about it and you’ll never get anywhere sitting around whining, so you may as well go make the best of it.”

Seth has always been enamored with the family farm, livestock in particular. They have commercial beef cattle, mostly black. Eleven years of 4-H, where he served time as club president, along with his involvement in FFA encouraged his enthusiasm, and he says participating on the FFA Livestock Judging Team taught him a lot.

Livestock projects in 4-H boosted Seth’s chosen future in agriculture through the sale of show steers each fall.

“We’ve done business with Town & Country Livestock since I was born, so they’re longtime friends,” Seth grins, “and they always bought my 4-H steers. They really try to help the young generation in agriculture, and the scholarship they gave me for MSU is great.”

Kraft family ag enterprises include hay and some other crops as well as a small feedlot. They also have cattle on grass around Dillon, in areas originally settled by Seth’s mother Lori’s family. He says, “I’d like to operate the farm but I can’t really do it physically, although I do help with the farming and work a lot with the cattle. I’m interested in the feedlot and want to work with Northern Video and PAY’s through their auctions, and hopefully operate a cattle rest here, where my animal science classes

“

and lifetime experience with cattle will come in handy.”

Feeling he’s “too young” to be a Northern Video rep and establish his cattle rest right now, Seth plans to travel with an established rep next summer to really learn the ropes. As for the auctioneer part, the busy lad somehow found time to earn a degree through Western College of Auctioneering in Billings. “I take every chance I get to hone those skills,” he remarks, emphasizing, “You have to get that practice thing down.” While admitting to practicing the patter “under cars and in the shower,” public opportunities like the Stetsons & Stiletto’s benefit auction he cried in Billings last year are especially coveted. Seth underlines his gratitude for top-of-the-line mentors such as the entire Goggins family, PAY’s Livestock, and their auctioneer staff.

“I owe so much to them,” Seth says. “I’ve had the privilege of knowing Pat Goggins since childhood, and he’s always willing to answer my questions and advise me. Joe Goggins, one of the best bull auctioneers anywhere, really inspires me and helps me in any way he can. The same goes for their other auctioneers Ty Thompson, Bill Cook and Roger Jacobs – they’ll always answer my questions. I spend a lot of time going to the sales, trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can. Afterward I get to talk to the guys, and they’re always willing to help me.”

Bob and Page Pengetzer from Shoshone, Wyoming, also helped Seth, through their donation of a Merit Heifer. “I got my start in the cattle business with the heifer they gave me,” he said. “I’ve had her for six years now and she’s helping build my herd.”

The NILE is another Billings institution that’s strongly

I SPEND A LOT OF TIME GOING TO THE SALES, TRYING TO SOAK UP AS MUCH KNOWLEDGE AS I CAN. AFTERWARD I GET TO TALK TO THE GUYS, AND THEY’RE ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP ME.”

influenced Seth. “I’ve been a NILE member since I was six or seven, and Dad was the Chairman at one time,” he explains. “I remember being around it since I was little.

HABITUTAL FLYER

Dad was part of the hospitality crew and I was always with him. I like to socialize, and being there I wasn’t afraid to talk to older people, so I met many influential stockmen and ag personalities like Pat Goggins. I’ve shown cattle at the NILE, too. I can’t say enough about all they’ve meant in my life.”

Seth has the same reverence for his grandfather Richard and his parents Brad and Lori. He keeps a humble profile and gives most of the credit to others. A favorite with all who know him, Seth has gathered a pasture full of friends.

Town & Country Supply manager Shane says, “He’s a great young man, who can talk to anybody. He frequently pops into my office. He’ll hop up in my working chair and I’ll ask him, “So how are ya’ today Seth, and what are ya’ doing?” Without fail he’ll answer, with a big grin, “I’m working hard! And I’m playing hard.”

–———–———– “ BEYOND LIVESTOCK ACTIVITIES AND

people, Seth has another circle of friends. Ironically, basketball is Seth’ favorite sport. The infatuation began early. “I’ve loved it since second and third grade,” he said.

“Especially the mental part of it. Knowing the defense and the offense, and all the mind games involved.”

That love, and the knowledge of the sport he acquired in his first decade and a half, propelled him into the positions of Manager and Student Coach of the Laurel High School varsity basketball squad -- the Locomotives – for four years. “It was pretty fun,” Seth recalls. “My coaches taught me so much. We were a pretty good team, always in the top three of Montana. We were predicted to win state one year until we came up with three anterior cruciate ligament injuries. A lot of people think we’d have won it if not for that. Our team had a bit of a swagger . . . I mean, we were always humble, but we were always optimistic, too. It kind of intimidates your opponents if you’re super confident, and that’s part of the game.”

Seth’s radiant personality along with his brilliance as student coach endeared him to the school, the team, the coaches and the fans. He loved getting active on court with them, where he exhibited “an affinity for solid defense and dishing assists.” When a game against Billings Senior High School coincided with his 18th birthday, Coach Pat Hansen decided to give Seth “an unforgettable present” by having him play.

“I will steal the ball if I have the chance. I’m not going to take it easy on them. It’ll be great if I score, but it’s OK if I don’t. I’ll be successful tonight if I make an impact, even a small one,” he told The Billings Gazette before the game.

He “made an impact” alright, driving through the opponent’s defense and scoring in the key off an underhanded bank shot which the newspapers called “the most epic basket in school history.” That coup earned Seth more sudden and worldwide fame than most teenagers ever dream of.

Just Google him, watch the video, read the reports from British and other worldwide sports columns, along with USA TODAY, The Huffington Post . . . the list is endless. Basketball’s famed Harlem Globetrotters even came to Billings to meet Seth and present him their “Junior Phenom Award,” the team’s way of saying, “Thank you,” and applauding those individuals who go above and beyond.

In spite of his enthusiasm for agriculture and all the irons he has in that fire for his future, basketball remains a first love, and Seth takes time to coach the “Running Guns” a local league at Billings; as well as playing intermural basketball at MSU.

Q&A

BRANT MARSH

SHERIDAN, MT 2011-2012 MERIT HEIFER CLASS DONOR: KG RANCH WHAT WAS THE BEST PART ABOUT PARTICIPATING IN THE NILE MERIT HEIFER PROGRAM?

My favorite part of the Merit Heifer program was getting to meet people in the industry like the donors, semen suppliers, and everyone who is involved with the NILE.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY TO THE DONOR(S)?

I would like to thank all the donors, but specifically KG Ranch. I learned the value of investing in the younger generation. Something as simple as donating one heifer lights the fire for so many young agriculturalists to get excited about the future of agriculture.

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS THE ROLE OF YOUTH IN AGRICULTURE TODAY?

The role of youth in agriculture today is incredibly different from when my father and grandfather were growing up.

My father and grandfather were both very active in op64

A publication of Tri-State Livestock News

erating the equipment and the general production. It is much more difficult for youth today to get to run a feed truck or a tractor because of the liability and the complexity of the equipment. Youth today can take an active role in the new and increasing technology.

Even though it is more difficult for a lot of the youth to get involved in the production side of things, they can focus on other aspects of agriculture.

This will help them become well prepared to step into the production side if that is where their future takes them.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE NILE?

My favorite part of NILE was getting to learn more about the reproductive side of the cattle industry. I always enjoyed the purebred shows - they motivated me to get certified in artificial insemination through Accelerated Genetics.

This is my second year artificially inseminating my cowherd and my Merit Heifer.

Brant Marsh was inspired to learn to artificially inseminate after watching the NILE purebred shows. Here he is with his Merit Heifer. Courtesy photo.

After a successful AI attempt, Marsh’s Merit Heifer takes care of her calf.

Q&A

DAN JOHNSON

DILLON, MT 2010-2011 MERIT HEIFER CLASS DONOR: KG RANCH WHAT WAS THE BEST PART ABOUT PARTICIPATING IN THE NILE MERIT HEIFER PROGRAM?

The best part about the NILE Merit Heifer program was being able to be exposed to registered cattle. Coming from a commercial operation, I knew I liked Angus cattle and wanted to raise them, but I really didn't know how to get into producing registered cattle without the help of this program.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY TO THE DONOR(S)?

I am very thankful to the donors. It goes without saying that it was very generous of the KG Ranch to donate not only my heifer but also many others over the years. The knowledge they gave me was also incredibly valuable. I learned about registered production, feeding, showing, and they were always there when I had a question.

66

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS THE ROLE OF YOUTH IN AGRICULTURE TODAY?

Youth play a huge role in the agriculture in this day and age.

Not only are youth the future producers of our industry, they must assume the important job of representing agriculture in front of the public. Many people attend county and state shows much like the NILE and whether we as exhibitors knew it at the time or not, showing and representing agriculture on a stage like that really does a lot for the public opinion of agriculture and beef production.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE NILE?

I've always enjoyed the NILE. Even before I was a Merit Heifer recipient I went almost every year with my family to take in the stock show. My favorite part is the cattle sales that go on throughout the week. No matter what breed you are looking for you can find real quality at the NILE's cattle sales. Another great part about this is that the cattle are exhibited before the sales and it gives the buyer a good chance to really evaluate what's for sale.

Q&A

KYLE STEIGER

POMPEY’S PILLAR, MT 2011-2012 MERIT HEIFER CLASS DONOR: WARNER RANCH SHORTHORNS WHAT WAS THE BEST PART ABOUT PARTICIPATING IN THE NILE MERIT HEIFER PROGRAM?

The best part of the Merit Heifer program, for me, had to be meeting with my donors.

Bryan and Marni Warner are extremely insightful and helpful producers, and it was such a blessing to meet with them and to add them to my contact list.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY TO THE DONOR(S)?

The heifer that you donated to me has been such a rewarding animal to work with over the past few years. She has been top of the line in all aspects of our operation, producing great calf after great calf, year after year.

Kyle Steiger appreciates the productivity of his Shorthorn heifer.

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS THE ROLE OF YOUTH IN AGRICULTURE TODAY?

The youth of our day have such a great role to play in maintaining and protecting agriculture.

Cultivated into their very being at a young age, hard work, dedication, and grit are attributes that are unique to agrarian youth. These attributes continue to predict successful outcomes for kids involved in agriculture. The duty then of these kids is to pass the baton.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE NILE?

All of the folks who come from far and wide to show off the hard work that they've accomplished.

LAUREN CASDORPH

TWIN FALLS, ID 2011-2012 MERIT HEIFER CLASS DONOR: FELTON ANGUS RANCH WHAT WAS THE BEST PART ABOUT PARTICIPATING IN THE NILE MERIT HEIFER PROGRAM?

The best part of the Nile Merit Heifer Program was being able to communicate with and learn from my donor. As young producers learning tricks and tools of the trade from experienced ranchers can help us become better herdsmen and cattlemen.

Having a guide and a friend to learn from was invaluable.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY TO THE DONOR(S)?

I would like to tell everyone at Felton Angus Ranch thank you for helping me build my future.

A lot of the time we want to do things that we don't necessarily have the resources to do, and for me to have been able to acquire the genetics they worked for generations to build and improve was absolutely a blessing. My heifer is weaning her third calf this year and they keep coming in bigger and better. Thank you for supporting such a remarkable program.

“The only picture I have is from the year I showed because my cow is out on the desert doing her job!” – Lauren Casdorph, Merit Heifer recipient, 2011-2012. Courtesy photo.

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS THE ROLE OF YOUTH IN AGRICULTURE TODAY?

I think that the role of youth in agriculture today is more important than ever. Not only do we have chores to do and hay to bale, but now we have to educate the public and defend our way of life. Social media and the constant streaming of news and information has given birth to a battle our parents never thought we would have to fight. Educating anyone and everyone about what we do in the various sections of agriculture is crucial to helping the public maintain trust in us to provide them with healthy and safe food. If we don't defend what we do nobody will.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE NILE?

My favorite part of the NILE was meeting the kids that were in my NILE Merit Heifer class.

Getting to know them and hear about their projects was so fun and exciting for me. And the atmosphere at the NILE is just fun and something I look forward to every year.

RACHAEL BUZANOWSKI POMPEY’S PILLAR, MT 2010-2011 MERIT HEIFER CLASS DONOR: EHLKE HEREFORDS WHAT WAS THE BEST PART ABOUT PARTICIPATING IN THE NILE MERIT HEIFER PROGRAM?

The NILE Merit Heifer program is a great opportunity for young people such as myself.

The best part about this program was receiving the chance to start my own cattle herd.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY TO THE DONOR(S)?

I would like to give a huge thank you to my donors Ehlke Herefords; I am extremely grateful for the wonderful opportunity they gave me. I would also like to thank all of the donors from all of the years for giving so much support to the future of the cattle industry.

A publication of Tri-State Livestock News

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE NILE? WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS THE ROLE OF YOUTH IN AGRICULTURE TODAY?

The role of youth in agriculture today is very important as it is us young people that will one day lead this industry. We must learn from today’s leaders and learn how we can continue to build upon what has already been started. Today's youth will have some very difficult battles in the future with others that will try to slow progress in agriculture and inhibit our hard working people.

My favorite part of the NILE is the livestock show. I have exhibited cattle and sheep multiple times there and it is always a great time. Breeders are given the opportunity to show off the genetics they have worked hard to put together and kids get to show off all the hard work they have put into their junior livestock projects and hopefully be rewarded for their efforts.

2015 NILE FEATURES

JUAN REYES LIVESTOCK HANDLING

BY RHONDA SEDGWICK STEARNS

J

uan Reyes of MR Angus Ranch understands livestock because he's handled them most of his life--a lot of them, in all kinds of conditions and terrain. Reducing stress and working cattle more efficiently is a primary goal for ranchers today, and the Reyes seminar during NILE 2015 offers a window that could inspire a paradigm shift in stock handling for many.

Enhancing Juan's own wisdom and expertise is that of his dogs – dogs he has specifically bred and trained for years for this single purpose. As a team, they present a tremendous learning opportunity.

"Stockmanship is the most important thing people might take home from this demonstration,” the soft spoken rancher says.

Juan and his dogs have been showing people better ways with livestock for many years. Just this fall he's demonstrated at the County Fair in Big Piney and given his annual Ag Day presentation to between eight and nine hundred Laramie County fourth graders in Cheyenne, but he points out, “The demonstration during the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) convention in San Antonio last year is where we really started to focus on low stress handling.”

"I think in the world we live in today, whether we want to or not, we've got to be aware of public perception,” Reyes says. “That's one of the reasons I do the low stress cattle handling. Not only does it work, but I believe it's good for the industry.”

DEMONSTRATION FEATURING JUAN REYES AND HIS DOGS WEDNESDAY, OCT. 14 AT 3 P.M. 76

METRAPARK RIMROCK AUTO ARENA

The business of beef holds major importance in today's world and as our environment constantly evolves, industry must also evolve. Change often comes hard to agriculture, where perpetual rhythms and habits have endured for centuries, and many old ways and traditions are honored.

Understanding all this, Reyes comments, “It's hard for us to change the way we work livestock, but I think people can learn a lot if they have a mind to.” If you are privileged to enjoy his stock handling demonstration he warns, “It'll be quite a bit different than what we're used to and what we're taught from the beginning.”

"Safety for man and livestock” is the most important thing Reyes believes his seminars teach. Handling dogs is another.

More than three decades ago a friend recommended border collies to Juan, and he says, “I've tried many breeds . . . Kelpies, the shepherds . . . but it seems like the border collies have so much more intelligence. They're just very responsive and intelligent, both in small quarters and in the open, so I've just stayed with them.

In my life working with cattle dogs they are the best for me, for what I do.”

Juan moved to Wyoming in 1969, and since 1977 the Reyes family has been ranching in the mountainous country near Tie Siding. They breed and market rugged Angus cattle genetically equipped to thrive in severe weather and at high altitudes. And they breed and market the regal, responsive border collies that help manage those cattle. Juan's wife Joni, son Jason, daughter Jennifer Reyes-Burr and her husband Mick are all actively involved in MR Angus Ranch.

Where Are They Now? NILE RAFFLE FILLY HORSES GO ON TO LEAD INTERESTING LIVES

BY LAURA NELSON

Ten years ago this fall, Trevor H olden was in for a big surprise.

A random Internet search for rodeos in the West brought up a suggestion to visit the Northern International Livestock Expo while on holiday in the United States. He took Google’s suggestion, and ended up going home with much more than treasured memories from his first western rodeo.

He returned to his home in Sussex, United Kingdom, with the ownership papers for two-year-old quarter horse filly Foxy Lena Dutchess from the 2005 NILE Filly Raffle.

It was just the second year for the program that supports NILE scholarships.

“He bought $25 worth of tickets that year, and I’ll be darned if they didn’t win her!”

Ward Fenton, the NILE board member and horse sale chairman, recalled. “They came screaming from up in the crowd. I offered to sell the horse and give them the money… they said, ‘Heck no! We’re taking her home!’”

Holton was eager to add Lena to his small stable of horses, using her to expand the western influence on his horses. Lena is a granddaughter of the legendary cutting horse Doc O’Lena, donated to the NILE filly raffle that year by Ken and Vanessa Monson of Lantana Angus in Absarokee, Montana.

After she arrived in Sussex, Holden said they started her as a four-year-old for light hacking work.

“She didn’t need much work, as she had a good start in the U.S. just after I won her,” he said.

And he wasn’t done with Montana horses.

Holden returned the next two years to the NILE’s Gold Buckle Performance Horse Sale to continue to build his western-style stable in the UK. He bred 94

Lena to another NILE purchase, “Skip N Waves,” four years ago for a filly that’s just about ready to begin training.

“It was kind of an exciting deal to have him win that filly and then come back and support the sale and buy some more, and he’s done quite well with them all,” Fenton said.

As for Lena, “We use her now for happy trail riding, as there is not a need for a working cutting horse here in the UK,” Holden said. “Her baby is a carbon copy of her in the body with her father’s muscle, a lovely dark bay, stunning in the sun.”

Holden said the market has been flat in the UK in recent years, preventing additional trips to the NILE or further importing horses, but the fond memories of his first trip still call him back for more. After Fenton arranged boarding for Lena until she could be shipped to the UK, he and Holden struck up a friendship that has lasted through the decade.

Since winning Lena, Holden has added two children to his family -- four-year-old Erin and two-year-old Finley.

“We gave Finley the second name of Ward, as he became a good friend and has remained so ever since.”

FOLLOWING OTHER NILE FILLIES While Lena’s journey since the NILE raffle 10 years ago was quite unique, most of the fillies in the event’s history have gone to ranching homes in the region, Fenton said. That’s what they’re bred and trained for.

“We like pedigrees that are working horses that can rope, rein, cut, all that… just solid working cow horses,” he said. The horses have been donated by different breeders nearly every year, but the goal is always the same: “We’re looking to breeders who have a reputation for raising high quality horses.”

The 2014 filly, donated by Kent Blough Quarter Horses in Wilsall, Montana went home with Melissa Batters in Bozeman. “Belle” was a 2011 filly registered as Chachs Little Pistol, daughter of Muchacho Dually and Smart Little Lena.

“She’s out with a family with kids, and they are thoroughly enjoying her,” Fenton said.

The year before, a sharp filly from the 17 Ranch in Miles City went to a woman who worked at the Metra Building, where the NILE is hosted.

“But most have gone to people out in the country who use them for ranching,” Fenton said.

That’s what they’re prepared to do, too. In the past three years, they’ve started training the filly early so she’s ready to ride when the drawing occurs the third Saturday in October.

The two or three-year-old fillies go to Big Sky Performance Horses in Absarokee, Montana for the summer so they are “ready to roll under saddle” by October.

“Travis Young is very generous in donating his time and his expertise to get these horses ready to go,” Fenton said. “He’s one of the top young trainers we have in Montana, specializing in reined cow horses.”

READY FOR ANOTHER ROUND This year’s filly – two-year-old Zipanic Sparkle – has a special spot in Fenton’s heart.

He and his wife, Alice, partnered with Chad and Erin Fink of Fink Quarter Horses of Hysham, Montana to donate the filly to the raffle. With a flaxen mane and tail, Fenton said she’s not only beautiful, but she’s bred to perform, too.

Zipanic Sparkle is the daughter of Zipanic, out of Simply a Spark. Simply a Spark is a full brother to Carol Rose’s Shining Spark, the leading sire in the world of reined cow horses, Fenton said. On the bottom side, she’s out of a Simply A Spark-bred mare, too.

“That all goes back to the great working reined cow horses that Carol Rose has raised for many years,” Fenton said.

Tickets for the raffle are $5 per ticket, or $25 for a bundle of six. The drawing will be Saturday, Oct. 17 at the NILE Gold Buckle Select Horse Sale. Winners of the raffle filly also receive feed for a year for the horse from Equis Feed, starting this summer while the filly is in training.

Sale Management acts as mediator only.

Although NILE does a pre-sale screening with a veterinarian, NILE makes no guarantee, either written or verbal. All horses (with no stated guarantees) sell “as is” with any and all responsibilities and guarantees strictly between the buyer and the seller.

Each horse on which there are two or more bids will be sold to highest bidder. Auctioneer settles disputes and his decision is final.

Announcements from the block take precedence over printed and other announcements.

Every effort has been made to assure catalog correctness, but NILE assumes no liability for errors or omissions or for statements, verbal or written, regarding horse(s) sold. Catalog comments are provided by seller.

Payment terms of the sale are cashier’s check, certified check, travelers check, personal check, or credit card with picture ID, and/or any bank letter of guarantee, in U.S. funds only, payable within 1/2 hour after sale.

A 3% fee will be assessed for all credit card purchases. There is a $30.00 charge per returned check. Any collection costs (and attorney’s fees) shall be paid by the buyer.

All horses will be sold in accordance with Montana auction laws.

Title passes to the purchaser at the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, at which time the purchaser assumes the responsibility for risk of injury and liability of horse. Any injury or loss of said horse(s) or change in horse’s condition occurring after the fall of the hammer, but before making final settlement or taking final delivery as set forth herein, shall not be grounds for rescission of the sale. The purchaser or his agent may take care, custody and/or control of the horse immediately at fall of the hammer, but such taking shall not constitute delivery of the horse. Delivery shall be made only after the purchaser presents himself to NILE cashier and pays purchase price in full. Purchasers who make final settlement shall be tendered delivery in the form of a “release” for the horse, which allows purchaser or his agent to obtain a brand inspection to remove horse from grounds.

All persons who attend the sale do so at their own risk. The sellers, NILE Sale Management, directors, staff, membership, sponsors, and volunteers, as well as MetraPark and Yellowstone County, assume no responsibility, legal or otherwise, for any and all liabilities for loss, damage, theft, death or injury to livestock, persons, or property.

Super nice filly. Great conformation, first one to greet you in the pasture and super smart. Her sire was bred and raised by Carol Rose and later purchased by the Bishop-Schmersal Syndicate but remained unshown due to an injury. He did go on to recover and did earn AQHA and NRHA points.

The dam raises super nice colts and does have cutting training. This filly is bred to go any direction from cutting to reining. She’ll also produce some great babies.

ProBiotein® SweetPro®’s ProBiotein® consists of: Prebiotic Oligosaccharides that feed the beneficial Probiotic Bacteria Yeast cultured on a media of Wheat, Oats, Barley Malt & Flax Enzymes – Amylolytic, Fibrinolytic, Proteolytic The ProBiotein blend is stabilized in a manner which optimizes enzymatic values and fermentation metabolites. ProBiotein also broadens the amino acid profile with multiple protein isolates.

Stabilized Milled Flax Flax helps in many ways. The oil is dense energy which is high in Omega 3 fatty acid content. Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid often missing in modern diets. Flax is also among the richest sources of lignans, which help improve immune function.

Organic Complexed Minerals (Generically called chelated) Linking the metal ion to a protein or other organic carrier assures that the mineral has the best chance of being absorbed via digestive pathways. When metal ions are in the blood they can do their job providing building blocks for growth and better health. Immune function is enhanced and the animal has better tools to fight off sickness.
