STOCK SHOW & RODEO |

David Graham is an emerging western and wildlife artist whose depictions of the West spring to life through his creations on canvas. David was born in Miles City, Mont. during the time his family was operating a ranch in the Powder River area east of Miles City. His family's deep roots in the western way of life have greatly influenced David's art and have nurtured his interest in the land since his very early years. His passion to paint the people, wildlife, and scenery of the West comes not only from the aesthetic beauty that captivates him, but also from his love for, and interest in, the land's history and culture.

Throughout David's college years and beyond, he worked side by side with his father, who was managing a large southeastern Montana ranch. This time offered David unforgettable memories and provided first-hand knowledge of the subject matter in his paintings.

After several years of balancing his art endeavors with time spent working on the ranch, David decided to make a change. In January of 2008, he took the plunge and began painting full-time.

In 2010, his work was presented and accepted in a Jackson Hole, Wyo. gallery.

At the same time David turned more to his love of nature and expanded his art to include more wildlife scenes. Since then he has spent an increasing amount of time researching and photographing wildlife in Montana and Wyoming.

Today David lives in Billings, Mont.

When he is not at the easel he is enjoying the great outdoors that Montana has to offer. He looks forward the most to his time spent gathering research material.

Whether riding horseback in the Badlands, or hiking a quiet mountain trail, it is his love of the land of the West that drives and motivates him in his work as a painter. David's faith in God also maintains an important place in his life. He is perpetually swept away by the beauty of God's creation. He feels blessed to be able to share what he has seen and experienced. It is his goal that others may experience the same enjoyment through his art.

WELCOME TO THE

2014 NILE!

A message from

John Carrel, NILE President

W

elcome to the 47th annual Northern

International Livestock Exposition.

As we close in on the NILE’s 50th year, the show has, without a doubt, developed into one of the premier stock shows and rodeos in the country. This would not have been possible without the generous support and hard work of many. The staff, members, volunteers, directors and community all contribute greatly to this prestigious event. Without the effort of all of these elements working in unison, we would not be able to produce the quality event that has become synonymous with the NILE. In conjunction with the livestock shows NILE has a new addition this year. On Wednesday the NILE will debut the Commercial Heifer Classic along with the Cattleman’s Cut judging contest.

Another change this year is that the parade and cattle drive will be the Saturday before. This puts the parade on October 11th.

Given NILE’s continued effort to bring agriculture and youth together, the Merit Heifer, Junior Fed, 4th grade ag ed program and club calf prospect show are all at the pinnacle of this effort.

This year will offer the first Jr. Fed Market Goat Show. The sales that accompany these

events are second to none. As was stated at Stetsons and Stilettos, over $470,000.00 in scholarships affecting 411 youth have been awarded since 1990. Come support our youth in agriculture.

Between events or before the rodeo be sure to check out the trade show!

NILE has a great horse committee that puts on the sales and futurities. The quality is deep. Be sure to attend the NILE Gold Buckle Horse Sale. You will find what you are looking for here.

In the rodeo arena, NILE will start with the NILE Ranch Rodeo Finals. This is followed by subsequent nights of the top cowboys, cowgirls and stock in the region competing in the NILE PRCA rodeos. Come and enjoy, you will not be disappointed.

Finally, the NILE would not be possible without the continued support of the businesses and community. Please support these businesses as they are an integral part of NILE’s well being.

Join us this year for an action packed event.

NOBLE (continued from page 6) combination of so many facets that unite all of agriculture. From the ProRodeo, to the 13 Cattle Breed Shows, the Gold Buckle Horse Sales and Futurities and certainly not least, the NILE Junior Fed contests: all of these entities make up the NILE. This year not only will we focus on tying all of those facets together but adding some new events that are sure to add excitement and opportunity for all involved.

Montana is home to 1.5 beef cows per person and produces enough BEEF to feed 13.2 million people per year. So what more reason do we need to bring back Ranchers day at the NILE. Wednesday, the 15th of Oct. will host our Commercial Bred Heifer Classic and Cattlemen’s Cut evaluation contest. We welcome

Montana’s cattlemen and cattle enthusiasts alike to join us for this great new event.

Speaking of the working ranches, Montana is home to some of the most outstanding working ranch Remuda’s in the AQHA. Friday Oct. 17, we will highlight those with the addition of the AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenge event.

Last, but certainly not least, we will do a “Stock Show Spotlight” nightly during the rodeo action. Wednesday night, we will select the Champion Junior Fed Steer, arena center, during the Ranch Rodeo. The ProRodeo atheletes come to town Thursday, as we host the $6000 added NILE ProRodeo. Thursday will be Merit Heifer Night, Friday features the NILE Raffle Filly and Saturday the ever impressive Supreme Row.

This year’s Western Expo tops them all with great food, endless shopping, Ag education presentations all included in a great new layout and hours of operation with no admission charge!

It is truly an honor for me to lead the Stock Show into its future. The NILE, 47 years strong and moving forward! As a team, we look forward to seeing all of the past exhibitors and meeting so many new faces this year. Focusing on all things agriculture, we simply cannot go wrong!

See you in all in October.

PRESERVING AND EMBRACING THE WESTERN LIFESTYLE

Board members share memories and highlights of the NILE. What do you think is important about the NILE?

It’s an opportunity for ranchers to showcase livestock and brings a huge amount of money to the economy of Billings. Agriculture is the biggest industry in the state and that fact needs to be promoted. I don’t think the community of Billings realizes how much revenue that agriculture brings to the area and region.

What does NILE represent to you?

NILE is a place to showcase livestock and provide an important event to the community. Growing up with NILE, it is THE place to

John Carrel

Executive Board President

show locally and a lot of people look forward to it each year. It provides good entertainment value for families and is one place that agriculture and those not involved in ag can see everything in one place.

What is a great memory you have of NILE?

My favorite memory would be going to NILE with a string of cattle with Beartooth and we won each breed division that we showed in (including Gelbvieh, Angus, and Salers). Then two of the animals went on to win the Denver Stock Show.

Please see MEMORIES on page 12

MEMORIES (continued from page 11)

What do you hope people take home from this year’s NILE?

I hope that people realize that it is a place you can go that is a family event with good entertainment value and that people can see how much ag truly contributes to the com-

same beliefs and values. I held and still continue to hold a respect for those who asked me to be on the Board and believe that we Why did you decide to be on the have made great strides to get the organizaNILE board?

I thought it was a good way to give back to tion into a better financial status. an organization that has given so much to me.

I believe that it is important to be involved and volunteer in organizations that hold the munity and state of Montana.

What does NILE represent to you?

My name is Jason Euell and I currently have the privilege of serving as the President -Elect of the Northern International Livestock Exposition. My wife Shauna and I live in Billings, along with our two children, Hailey and Colter. I work for US Bank as a Commercial/Agricultural Relationship Manager. I have volunteered for the NILE Rodeo committee the last 10+ years and have served on the board of directors for the last 4 years.

What do you think is important about the NILE?

Jason Euell Executive Board President Elect

The real importance of NILE lies in connecting with and educating the general public, who may not be involved directly with agriculture on a day-to day basis. The NILE is dedicated to the promotion of the region’s livestock industry, agricultural education, and respect for our Western traditions. Agriculture remains the #1 industry in Montana, outpacing all other sectors. Promotion of our industry benefits us all.

The NILE represents the opportunity to showcase and promote agriculture. Since the organization was founded in 1966, the NILE has been recognized for its devotion to the livestock industry. And over the years, the NILE has expanded. It is now involved in more than just the stock show, horse sales and PRCA rodeo. It promotes other events during the year including the MATE show (Montana Agri- Trade Exposition) and the NILE Invitational Professional Bull Riders.

NILE also has on-going youth programs and provides educational and scholarship programs throughout the year. I believe one of our most important outreach opportunities annually is the agricultural education program at the fall show each year to over 4,000 area 4th graders. What a tremendous opportunity this is to reach youth who have not been raised on a farm or ranch.

A more recent memory is from last year’s NILE rodeo. My son Colter has grown up listening to rodeo stories from his grandfather, Rubie Euell. He has watched the rodeo performances each year at NILE and has wanted to participate in the sheep riding. He had been waiting until he was old enough to enter at 5 years old. Colter rode in the small arena at the Montana Pavilion and was able then to ride in the NILE Rodeo performance at the METRA later that same evening. It was a memorable experience for Colter and fun for family and friends to watch and cheer from the stands.

oard members share memories and highlights of the NILE ...

What is a great memory you have of NILE?

One of my earlier memories of NILE goes back to my sophomore year at Huntley Project High School in Worden, Mont. My high school vocational agriculture teacher, Glen Hough, asked if anyone would be interested in participating in the Calf Scramble. The Calf Scramble was a contest during one of the NILE Rodeo performances.

High school students were given a halter at one end of the arena and steer calves were released at the other end of the arena. Those who were lucky enough to catch and halter a steer were then allowed to raise, show and later sell the animal. I was fortunate enough to capture a calf that year and I remain grateful to the NILE for allowing me that opportunity. Funds from the sale of that steer later helped to fund my college tuition at Montana State University in Bozeman.

A more recent memory is from last year’s NILE rodeo. My son Colter has grown up

listening to rodeo stories from his grandfather, Rubie Euell. He has watched the rodeo performances each year at NILE and has wanted to participate in the sheep riding. He had been waiting until he was old enough to enter at 5-years-old. Colter rode in the small arena at the Montana Pavilion and was able then to ride in the NILE Rodeo performance at the METRA later that same evening. It was a memorable experience for Colter and fun for family and friends to watch and cheer from the stands.

What do you hope people take away from this year’s NILE?

This year’s NILE week is once again slated to be action packed. The NILE kicks off with a cattle drive and parade through downtown Billings that has quickly become a fan favorite. The main focus for the week is always our stock show. Later in the week the Ranch Rodeo and the NILE PRCA Rodeo provide daily evening entertainment. Visitors will also

What do you think is important about the NILE?

NILE is a long-standing organization that supports the local, state and regional ag industries. NILE provides scholarships - animal and monetary - and education to the regional area youth to encourage further developing knowledge of the industry.

Additionally, there is a good network of local business people from all facets of industry.

What does NILE represent to you?

NILE represents a hard-working base of staff and volunteers that strive to succeed in putting on the best events related to youth programs, livestock shows and sales, equipment/trade shows, and premier rodeos.

enjoy the shopping at our many trade-show booths as well as a variety of food vendors.

My main hope is that everyone in the area has a fun filled week of NILE Stock Show and Rodeo and comes away with a greater appreciation for our Western heritage and the importance of agriculture to our region.

Why did you decide to be on the NILE board?

We are blessed to be able to raise our families in such a wonderful community.

Volunteering is so important and each of us has a responsibility to give back in our own way. I am fortunate to work for US Bank who has been a strong supporter of the NILE and encourages their employees to volunteer in the communities where they live and work.

I am proud to be able to contribute in some small way to the NILE and the ag producers and agri-businesses who remain the lifeblood of our great state.

the Metra starting off with a calcutta in the Zonta Room before the rodeo. The local FFA chapters put contestants in this event and just by chance, we won our go-round that evening. That guy that bought us in the Calcutta that evening was pretty happy about that.

What do you hope people take home from this year’s NILE?

I would hope that people would take home an appreciation of all the producers out there that provide for them. They might also want to take home a hat, vest or jacket as well.

Why did you decide to be on the NILE board?

It was an honor to be asked to serve on the NILE board. I was a member at the time and serving on individual committees when I was asked to be on the board in 2008. I want to give back to the community and areas that I have an interest in and the NILE is a prime example of that.

oard members share memories and highlights of the NILE ...

What do you think is important about the NILE?

Two things: 1) To educate the general public about the importance of agriculture 2) To encourage and cultivate an agricultural interest within our younger generation.

Too many young people (myself included) leave the family farm or ranch and they aren’t being replaced at the same rate they are leaving.

What does NILE represent to you?

Jay Badgett Co-Treasurer

To me it represents people coming together to celebrate the past and encourage the future of our western heritage - our ag heritage. Far too many people have absolutely no idea what it takes to put food on their plates. I am often discouraged when I hear people disparage farmers and ranchers.

I never hear those same people making the connection at the grocery store and more can be done to educate the public.

What do you think is important about the NILE? NILE supports youth, education and agriculture in Montana and Wyoming.

What does NILE represent to you?

It gathers the ag community to Billings several times each year. That is good not only for my business, but all businesses in Billings, and the community.

What is a great memory you have of NILE?

Rob Erickson

What is a great memory you have of NILE?

I remember walking through the exhibits as a kid and being fascinated with all the new farm equipment.

Why did you decide to be on the NILE board?

My kids are off to college this fall and I had a little more time in my schedule. I wanted to use that time to give back, somewhere… and NILE represents how I was raised so… thank you, Randy Vogele for the invitation.

What do you hope people take home from this year’s NILE?

I hope people find satisfaction from the smooth, very entertaining, high quality rodeo and stock show.

Why did you decide to be on the NILE board?

I was asked by a board member to serve on the board, and I always admired the organization. It has been good for my business also.

Winning the Montana Pro Rodeo AllAround title in 1976 at the NILE rodeo on a notorious, hard-to-ride bull is still a favorite memory.

What do you think is important about the NILE?

The promotion and preservation of agriculture and the western way of life is NILE’s goal every day. NILE attempts to educate and entertain the non-ag community and hopes the people will realize how important agriculture is to them.

What does NILE represent to you?

Ward Fenton

NILE has been an important part of our family since it was originally organized. We have enjoyed exhibiting our cattle and horses at the NILE and enjoyed the camaraderie and friendships with everyone that attends.

It is a family affair – my wife Alice and daughter Paige have both been very involved with all NILE activities.

– and the board were able to put on a very successful event.

I have enjoyed watching NILE grow over the years and have enjoyed the fact that it has been a continuous running event for so many years.

What do you hope people take home from this year’s NILE?

I hope people have a positive experience, whether they are a spectator or a contestant.

The NILE has high quality events that are very well run. We hope that people realize it is not just a local event but a nationally recognized event that is a tremendous boost to the local economy.

Why did you decide to be on the NILE board?

Probably the most memorable thing was when the tornado took the roof off of the Metra building where we have many of our main events. In spite of the challenges, the general manager at the time – Justin Mills

I was asked to serve on the board. I felt that because of my background in many phases of agriculture such as farming, raising both registered horses and cattle, serving on national breed association boards and a lifetime of showing and judging livestock, I could contribute positively to the future of NILE.

I hope that they are entertained and that they get some appreciation of the things that NILE does for the community and for young people.

NILE is one organization in the Billings community that truly defines our mission statement of promoting livestock, agricultural education and the western heritage. As a past president and executive board member, I am proud that the NILE has accomplished this for 47 years with an all-volunteer board. NILE has brought awareness to the region, state and nation thanks to televised events including the PBR. From cattle shows to the rodeo to junior livestock events, NILE provides an opportunity for people of all ages to be involved.

Executive Board

What does NILE represent to you?

NILE is a Billings based organization that actively brings entertainment to Billings on several occasions throughout the year to maintain an agriculture presence in the fast-growing Billings economy. NILE has assumed a leadership role, producing the fall NILE Stock Show and Rodeo, MATE Show, Professional Bull Riders and Stetsons & Stilettos with proceeds used to help educate and provide scholarships for the agricultural youth.

hospitality room chats. Every year new memories are created as I work with staff and understanding the commitment it takes to make NILE what it is today.

What do you hope people take home from this year’s NILE?

I hope people are astounded with the quality of cattle that producers in our region bring to town. Folks are also sure to enjoy seeing one of the best rodeos in the region.

Meeting old friends and acquaintances along with meeting new ones is always a favorite of those who attend the NILE. Perhaps we can make an impact on those who are not directly involved in agriculture by teaching them about the importance of agriculture and the livestock industry.

Why did you decide to be on the NILE board?

NILE is an organization that I wanted to be associated with for the past 28 years. I started by helping clerk the livestock sales, then was asked to join the board and later served as an officer, eventually as president.

NILE members are like a large family that you get to work with and enjoy seeing year in and year out. It is rewarding to see people that helped with past shows as kids, and are now grown up and involved in some way.

SADDLE WOES: The Off-Side Cinch Strap

BY HEATHER HAMILTON-MAUDE FOR TRI-STATE LIVESTOCK NEWS One late July or August day years ago, my brother and I were sent an hour south of our place to get the bulls out of our yearling heifers. As in years previous, we were prepared with our geldings, enough semi-heavy duty panels to convert the twopen corral into something you could load a bull out of, and the necessary trailer to haul the whole works home.

We arrived, set up, cinched up and headed to the spring-fed creek in the middle of the 600-acre pasture of rolling hills, bad cross fences and exceptional grass we rented. As we eased into a slow, ground-covering trot, visiting away about which water hole the bunch was most likely at, I looked over and noticed something odd. My brother and his saddle were beginning to slip.

I began to say, “Kyle, your saddle is slipping…,” when halfway through the thought and a fraction of the way through the words everything gave way and he unceremoniously slammed into the ground.

We would later learn his off-side cinch strap had rotted through, quite suddenly, from my vantage point. This caused an immediate reaction in his horse, Otis, who had no idea what the heck was going,

but who has always had a strong flight versus fight mentality – if you can hang on he will take you to safety with him, if you cannot, that is a personal problem for you.

I also knew that of our two horses, his was hands-down the faster, and my heart leaped into my throat at the thought of him being dragged and me not being able to do a thing about it, as, simultaneously, the situation gained momentum with impressive speed.

His horse burst into a run in a nano-second, and thankfully a dazed and mad Kyle stayed behind on the ground to watch as his gelding did a beautiful arcing circle back toward the barn, which we were only a couple hundred yards away from. It was an impressive sight considering he was nearly breaking a land speed record, with a saddle hanging from the back cinch between his back legs. Pieces of tack rained behind him, and as each landed in the grass my brother’s color went up another notch.

I wisely left my ticked off brother and went to remove what I expected to be only a back cinch from his horse – you learn when to offer assistance to the hu-

man or the animal after a few of these experiences.

After gathering up his horse and completing the unplanned unsaddling process, I began to wonder how long it would take me to get three bulls sorted out and into the less-than-ideal corral by myself. I turned with the two horses to see much of the problem solved for me.

There was my brother, walking in the arcing circle his horse had made, picking up pieces of his tack. In a curious, bellering, slobbering and dust-infused circle around him were our yearling heifers, acting as yearlings do. While this did nothing for his mood, I immediately saw the humor in the situation, and the three bulls they had graciously brought right to the corral for us.

It only took a few minutes to corral and pull bulls that year, causing much teasing regarding my brother’s unique way of improving our average time for the task. The saddle required quite a bit more time to repair, only to be sent back to the saddle maker 364 days later for a complete rebuild following another bull incident…

2014 MERIT HEIFER CLASS

Wednesday, Oct. 15 Merit Heifer Move-In Thursday, Oct. 16 Merit Heifer Interviews Friday, Oct. 17 Merit Heifer Show

Participants who received a Merit Heifer last year will return to NILE this year to show their heifers and to take ownership.

The Merit Heifer program is a “live animal” scholarship that strives to help youth get a start in the beef cattle business by awarding heifer calves to participants chosen based on merit, future goals, and ability to care for the animal. Any youth ages 12-16, who is a 4-H or FFA member, may apply.

During the program duration, participants are responsible for care of the heifer including

breeding arrangements and record keeping.

Each youngster then brings the animal back one year later as a bred replacement heifer for exhibit at the NILE Stock Show.

Bill Pelton, Merit Heifer chairman, says, “This program would not be possible without the generous support of our donor ranchers and we are very grateful to them.” This year the NILE will select twenty-five recipients and match them up with donors from across the region.

Bromenshenk wins 2013 Merit Heifer honors

The NILE congratulates the 2013 Merit heifer winner, Garrett Bromenshenk of Billings, Mont., who received top honors with his heifer donated by Shipwheel Cattle Co. of Chinook, MT. A unique, “live animal� scholarship, the merit heifer program provides 25 youth each year the opportunity to show and care for a donated heifer. The heifers are generously provided by ranches across the region.

Each program participant owns his or her calf jointly with NILE until the completion of the program, at which time NILE officials will sign off and the participant will take full ownership of the heifer and her offspring.

During the program duration, participants are responsible for raising the heifer, arranging for her to be bred, completing the record keeping procedure and bringing the animal back one year later as a bred replacement heifer for

exhibit at the NILE Stock Show in October. The program is completed after the heifer is determined bred, all record keeping has been completed and the heifer has been shown at the NILE. Over 250 4-H and FFA members from across the western United States have had the opportunity to participate in this program since its inception in 2002.

The growing success of the Merit Heifer Program hinges on the generosity and support of the ranches that donate a heifer. Since the program started, a multitude of ranches representing registered, and commercial breeders have donated a heifer.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION FOR OUR YOUTH –

Now More Important than Ever

R

ecently I heard a story from a

friend who teaches high school

animal science in rural

Wyoming. She told her class she would be getting a milk goat in the spring so the students would have the opportunity to milk it and try their hand at making butter and cheese. One of the kids looked at her with a horrified expression and screeched, “You’re going to kill it!”

My friend replied, “No, just using the milk.”

“Doesn’t that kill it?”

She suddenly realized how important her job really is.

This is the type of story you would expect to hear from a schoolteacher in the city, not rural Wyoming. But people, especially children not born into agricultural families, are becoming increasingly detached from where their food originates.

By Most don’t take the time to consider how the package of hamburger or box of cereal actually made its way to the supermarket shelf.

Fortunately, thanks to Fourth Grade Ag Education, you would be hardpressed to find an equally misinformed Billings-native high school student. For nearly fifty years, the Yellowstone Conservation District has held an unwavering commitment to the agricultural education of Billings-area kids.

The Northern International Livestock Exposition (NILE) has proudly served as the program’s home for more than twenty years. “We are simply thrilled to be

able to host this program at the NILE. Ag education is one of our core values as an organization and never has it been more important for young people to learn about where their food comes from,” said NILE General Manager Jennifer Noble.

Each October, nearly 2,000 fourth graders are bussed to Metra Park during the NILE to learn about natural resource watershed issues and how Montana’s primary industry – agriculture – directly impacts each of their lives.

Many local agriculture organizations get involved in the program, including MSU

Billings, the local 4-H Extension Service, and the Montana CattleWomen. Even the American Honey Bee Queen is on hand to emphasize the important role bees play in the pollination of crops and honey production.

Most of the participating fourth grade classes, from Billings and outlying communities, spend a whole day at the NILE, attending educational presentations and touring the exhibits.

Organizers have found that the fourth graders retain much of what they learn from the program based on testing completed prior to their participation compared to the results of re-testing six months later.

lowstone County Conservation District is confident in the continuation of the program and emphasizes its importance, “We plan on conducting the program for many years to come. As U.S. citizens active in agriculture numbers continue to dwindle,

it will be more important than ever to educate our youth about Montana’s number one industry.”

The Fourth Grade Ag Education program is scheduled for Oct. 13-15 this year.

Lori and Hank Franzen of the

Powder River Rodeo Company.

“We were 26 and 27 years old,” says Lori. “Hank had been rodeoing his whole life and put himself through college doing that. He was very successful and one of the top college athletes. He still holds records in college rodeo, winning 13 all-arounds. He went to the college finals in every single event.

Then he went professional and only missed the finals a couple years. Then he got hurt, and his competition years were over.”

“We both went to school at Casper College in Wyoming and that’s where we met and were married. I was raised in Gillette; my family has a ranch there, and my dad was sheriff for 26 years. Hank was from Montana but had a four-

year rodeo scholarship for just about anywhere he wanted to go, and he chose Casper. We’ve been married 35 years, this October,” says Lori.

“When we started our rodeo business we put on some amateur rodeos in 1986. Then in 1987 we turned professional. We recently did the Plains Rodeo (Plains, Montana), and it was one of the first we did in 1986--so we’ve put it on for 29 years now. We’ve done one at Estes Park, Colorado for 24 years, and it’s been one of the top five rodeos in the nation. It won the PRCA small rodeo of the year category five times and now has moved to the medium category and has been nominated in that category the last three years. We are pretty proud of that rodeo,” says Lori.

They contract rodeos all over the west, including Rock Springs/Riverton, Wyo. and Belle Fourche, S.D. for 26 years and Gillette, Wyo. for 24 years. “We pride ourselves on supplying good family entertainment and bringing in the best stock we can possibly have. We’ve been nominated five times for stock contractor of the year by the PRCA, and the last three years

in a row. There are about 100 of us in America providing stock for rodeos, and if your peers and cowboys and the people you work with vote you in as one of the best, that means a lot,” she says.

The quality of stock is continually improving. “Our bucking horses have been very successful,” Lori says. Khadafy Skoal was world champion three times, and three times WNFR champion. He was inducted into the PRCA Hall of Fame two years ago, at age 30—the first horse to be inducted while still alive.

The Franzen family raises all their bucking horses. “We started our breeding program 25 years ago and have had a lot of luck with it.

We produced the world champion in 2005 and 2007, and WNFR top bronc a couple of times,” she says.

“We have another horse right now that we are really proud of, named Craig at Midnight.

He is a big gray horse, and third best bareback bronc at the Wrangler National Finals last year.

This spring he was voted top bareback horse at the Scottsdale Champions Challenge,

A PUBLICATION OF TRI-STATE LIVESTOCK NEWS

the Rapid City Champions Challenge and top bareback horse at the national circuit finals in Guthrie. Hopefully he will be one of the top three in the world this year. We pride ourselves on the quality of our livestock,” says Lori.

The Franzens run about 350 head of horses at their ranch northwest of Riverton, Wyo. They breed about 35 mares each year, selecting only the ones that have proven themselves in the WNFR arena or produced offspring that have done well.

The stud they are using now, Cut the Cards, is a grandson of Custer, one of the top horses in Harry Vold’s program. He’s been to the WNFR three times and comes from Tooke bloodlines, which is one of the best bloodlines in the bucking horse industry.

“We retired him from bucking because he was worth too much,” Lori says. He’s 25 years old and has sired 27 WNFR horses, including Craig at Midnight and the world champion Miss Congeniality.

Their vet in Canyon, Texas collects semen from their four studs and does embryo transfers with Miss Congeniality to build up their program.

“You have to breed for the genetics you want, and then you have to feed for performance. If you don’t feed your horses properly and take care of them all the time, they won’t be able to perform at their best,” Lori says.

Lori and Hank have raised two children, Jill and John, who are both in the rodeo business. Jill has a company called Jill’s Sound and she does music and sound for rodeos all over the country.

John is a professional steer wrestler. John’s wife, Jesse works with them as a timer.

Jill is getting married in February, and the family is considering a Hawaii wedding, which would be the first vacation they’ve taken in 20 years. “When we aren’t on the road, we’re home trying to take care of the crops and livestock,” Lori says. “We’re on the road a lot; I haven’t been home in six weeks.”

The Franzens are busy year-round with the

rodeos and work hard to please the rodeo committees and audiences.

“Our goal is to work with the committees on sponsorships, new ideas, and ways to make it fun. This draws top contestants when you have good stock and a reputation for putting on the best rodeos.”

Being at the NILE means a lot to the Franzens. This isn’t the first time they’ve brought stock, but it’s the first time they’ve been the primary contractor.

“Twenty years or so ago we took stock to the NILE when Harry Vold had it, when we first started our business. We are excited about working with a top-notch committee for the best rodeo possible,” says Lori.

“One of the neatest things about coming back to Billings is that Hank was a Montana boy.

He was the 4-year state champion in high school rodeo, raised in Sidney, Montana. This rodeo at the NILE means so much to him; it’s gratifying for him to come back to Montana to put on this show.”

RANCHERs’DAY at the

By

he NILE, because of its location, has always been a hub area for cattlemen to gather. This year the NILE is giving ranchers even more of an excuse to make the trip to town—with or without cattle to exhibit—with the first ever Ranchers’ Day at the NILE. “We decided to bring back a commercial heifer pen show,” says Jennifer Noble, General Manager of The NILE. Those heifers must be bred, shown three to a pen, with the classes split by weight. They can be commercial or registered but will be shown commercial— without any papers. They cannot be haltered or fit—just loose cattle, range-ready replacement heifers. There will be three divisions, by

pen weight, but the weight breakdowns won’t be determined until all the pens are weighed.

The show is limited to 30 pens, with a limit of two pens per exhibitor, and the heifers must be home-raised. Only 2-year-olds are eligible.

They must have a certificate of veterinary inspection regarding pregnancy status, and have their brucellosis vaccination and health papers.

“The thing that makes this commercial heifer show unique is that we’ve added a side pot, called the Cattleman’s Cut Judging Contest. If you, as a spectator, want to enter this judging contest (entry fee of $10) and if you line those cattle up the same way our committee of judges place those cattle, you win the same prize package as the Champion Heifer

Pen. This is a substantial prize, about $3,500 in value. We want commercial cattlemen coming here to participate, even if they don’t bring cattle for the competition,” says Noble.

Noble estimates the prizes for the heifer show and evaluation contest are valued at between $9,000 and $10,000. The Champion Heifer Pen will win 50 units of semen and 50 arm-service from Genex. Zoetis will be providing the GeneMax test, donating the 50K DNA kits, for commercial heifers. They will be providing 25 to the champion pen, 25 to the champion spectator, and 15 to the reserve pen.

Hawkeye West is donating custom Montana silver buckles to the champion pen and champion spectator.

A PUBLICATION OF TRI-STATE LIVESTOCK NEWS

The champion pen and champion spectator will also receive a custom Montana silver buckle. The show is also a jackpot. With a $100 entry fee, the 30 cattle producers will be competing for a $3,000 pot, from just the entry fees.

Dustin Reisig, a cow-calf rancher, and Dwain Hould, with Genex, are superintendents of the heifer show.

“Our panel of three judges will include two cattle buyers and a registered breeder who feeds bulls,” Reisig says. These people have been evaluating cattle for a long time and understand proper structure and phenotype—cattle with good udders and good feet and legs that can travel and make a living.

“In our spectator judging we’ll ask the ranchers to place

the first and second in each weight division, and then pick a grand and reserve champion pen. This kind of show is new for the NILE. The Black Hills Stock Show has had one and we are basing ours off of that,” he says.

Hould says that this will involve the ranchers a lot more, letting them evaluate the cattle. “I think this event will grow, over the years. I feel that winning the NILE commercial heifer pen show will become a well-respected prize. We should have a lot of participation.”

“Genex, the company I work for, has invested a lot in this. We strongly believe in the commercial industry, and want to help it keep moving forward,” says Hould. It’s partly an educational process, and helps stockmen strive for bet-

Also on that day (October 15), Bill Pelton and several sponsors will be putting on a Beef Quality Assurance and Cattle Handling Seminar immediately following the heifer show. Pelton is state coordinator for BQA in Montana, which is number three in the nation for BQA compliance.

Jerry Beggar, CEO of West Feeds in Billings, is helping with the BQA presentation. | THE

The low stress handling presentation—a classroom seminar--will be given by Whit Hibbard, who publishes the Stockmanship Journal. He teaches low stress handling in a manner similar to Bud Williams. This seminar will be limited to 60 seats and aimed at the commercial cattleman, emphasizing the need for low stress handling in today’s beef industry.

RANCH RODEO SHOWCASES EVERYDAY SKILLS

Ranchers’ Day will wrap up with a beef dinner and the Ranch Rodeo Finals. The finals will feature 12 teams, which qualified through regional rodeos. The winner of the finals is qualified for the Working Ranch Cowboys Association Finals in Texas.

Ward Fenton, in charge of the Ranch Rodeo, says this is the sixth year the NILE has put this on. “It’s held in the main arena, with professional announcers, and instant replay on the big screen. We usually have 3,500 to 4,000 spectators.

This rodeo has become a very popular event at the NILE, not only for the cowboys but also for spectators. Those ranch rodeo teams work hard all summer to get qualified to come

here. We feel this is one of the best Ranch Rodeos in the whole country,” says Fenton.

“We give away saddles and spurs to the top hand and top horse every year. The Ranch Rodeo is two and a half hours of fast, action-packed fun and has become very popular all over the western states during the past 10 years.”

The NILE Ranch Rodeo features bronc riding, wild cow milking, team doctoring, team branding and team trailering.

The bronc riding contestants have to ride in a working Western saddle—no bucking | THE

saddles are allowed.

The wild cow milking requires three to four people, and the winners are those who get their cow milked the fastest.

The team doctoring involves heading and heeling, then “doctoring” a yearling.

Please see RANCH RODEO on page 36 STOCK SHOW & RODEO |

35

RANCH RODEO RANCH RODEO (continued from page 35) The goal of team branding is to get a flour “brand” on a calf after one team member ropes a calf and two others wrestle it.

Team trailering requires the team cutting three animals with the same number from the herd, then moving them to the other end of the arena and loading them in a trailer. If more than those three animals cross the white line in the arena, the team is disqualified.

“We are trying to make that

whole day a rancher’s day, and the Ranch Rodeo is supposed to simulate what real cowboys do on the ranch on a daily basis. One thing we really pay attention to is how they handle the stock. There can’t be any rough handling when they are roping, loading them in the trailer, or branding them. We want it like it would actually be on the ranch, and no one wants to abuse those animals. Our judges are very particular about how the cattle are handled,” Fenton says.

“The companionship and

camaraderie among the teams really stands out. They are very competitive but they also care about each other and are very respectful. They help each other. For instance, last year one team member had a heart attack during the rodeo. There was only one event left, and a person from one of the other teams came over and helped that team finish their competitions. The fellow survived; he had a couple of stents put in and by Friday night he was back again, attending the rest of the NILE.”

STOCK SHOW & RODEO |

A PUBLICATION OF TRI-STATE LIVESTOCK NEWS

The NILE celebrates the horse

“I

‘ve often said, there’s nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse,” – Ronald Reagan.

With roughly 10 million horses in the United States and 5 million people involved in the horse industry, it’s

safe to say there are a lot of people who agree with President Reagan.

As far back as ten years ago, there were nearly 150,000 horses in Montana alone. They are used for ranching, rodeo, showing, racing, leisure and companionship, among other things. And they have been a staple in agricultural operations for hundreds of years.

In response to this widespread affection, the NILE introduces Horse Extravaganza to its lineup of events and attractions as a means to celebrate the horse.

“The NILE is a celebration of agriculture and the western way of life. The horse is the cornerstone of our culture. He is our partner, and our friend. We couldn’t do our jobs without him. And at Horse Extravaganza, we do our best to honor that,” said NILE General Manager, Jennifer Noble.

This year, Horse Extravaganza will take place Oct. 17 - 18 at the Ford Super Duty Arena inside the Montana Pavilion at MetraPark. In addition to a horse-themed trade show, attractions will include Stallion Row, which features a showcase of equine breeds.

Quarter horses, Morgans, Drafts and more will be on display with their unique characteristics for visitors to admire.

Attendees will also have an opportunity to view Western Dressage Demonstrations in the Ford Super Duty Arena, where the true beauty and essence of the horse will be showcased. Additional demonstrations will take place within Horse Extravaganza as well, including farrier services, the latest advances in horse tack and equipment, and an international refined horsemanship clinician.

If those attractions aren’t already enough to entice NILE attendees to visit Horse Extravaganza, the ever-popular Raffle Filly and her talents will be featured there as well. Tickets may be purchased by calling the NILE office at 406-256-2495 or on-site during the event prior to the NILE Gold Buckle Horse Sale on Saturday, Oct. 18.

The 2014 Raffle Filly, Chachs Little Pistol, or “Belle” was donated by Kent Blough Quarter Horses of Wilsall, Mont. She is by a Dual Pep stallion, Muchacho Dually, and is currently in training at Big Sky Performance Horses with Travis Young in Absarokee, Mont.

Cliff Swanson

Cliff Swanson trains the mind of a horse through trust and understanding focusing on the positive. The horse learns from the ground up in a step by step process beginning with a solid foundation in classical dressage. For the rider, Cliff works from the simple basics of sitting on the horse and feeling its movement progressing to the balanced union of horse and rider being one, together.

Cliff founded the “Smart Start” clinics on colt starting in the USA. He has demonstrated success with multiple breeds of horses, but specialized in training and showing Morgan horses and has World Championships in Park Harness, Pleasure Driving, Carriage Driving, In Hand, Western Pleasure, Roadster, and Hunt Seat.

Cliff is a proud founding member and dedicated supporter of the Western Dressage Association of America. He has outlined and is piloting a series of Skill Set clinics for Western Dressage. His experiences, step by step training methods, and firm belief in the benefits of a foundation in classical dressage for any discipline have made him a sought out Western Dressage clinician throughout the United States.

Refined Performance Horsemanship/ Equine Biomechanics with

Karen Osoki

From the stock of a Montana rodeo and ranch family, Karen Ososki was born with a deep love for horses. Selected as one of the “Top 50 Riding Instructors in America” by the American Riding Instructors Association, she is an International Clinician offering clinics, seminars and retreats for all disciplines.

Karen was a Featured Presenter at the April 2014 Equine Affaire and recently returned from a six week clinic tour in Africa.

Karen developed her Refined Performance Horsemanship Program to improve the performance and soundness of equine athletes and pleasure horses.

A combination of natural horsemanship, classical principles, biomechanics, conditioning and schooling, RPH transforms a horse’s mind and body through the use of simple and logical work. The horse becomes quiet and willing; his body becomes balanced and through. This blend of mounted and unmounted instruction as well as groundwork helps the “gentled horse” attain success in whatever discipline or activity he enjoys.

t’s no surprise that a program founded on AQHA’s roots continues to thrive.

The AQHA Ranching Heritage Program began in 2011, grew in 2012 and 2013, and is expected to explode in growth in 2014, according to Leman Wall, AQHA director of corporate partnerships and ranching programs.

“AQHA was founded on ranchers and horses intended for ranch use,” Leman says. “The AQHA Ranching Heritage Program recognizes that and so does our corporate partner Zoetis. It’s an exciting time

for the program, and we encourage amateurs and other American Quarter Horse enthusiasts to get in on the action.”

Zoetis is the title sponsor for all six Ranching Heritage Challenges of 2014, Leman says. At least $15,000 in added money will be up for grabs at each challenge, for a minimum of $90,000.

At The NILE, local partners Cowan Select Horses LLC, Galt Ranch Quarter Horses LLC, Wagonhound Land & Livestock, and Weaver Quarter Horses are helping sponsor the event.

“It’s really nice to have one of these Ranching Heritage Challenges in the

“I’m glad we can have it at The NILE because of the western heritage the show has embraced. The NILE has been terrific to work with to promote the show, and I think it’s a natural fit for the way the NILE has always celebrated livestock and horses.”

“Ranch pleasure is unique because it’s meant to showcase a good ranch horse,” Sara says.

It takes a really well-broke horse to win at ranch pleasure, Sara points out.

“I look at it like this: When a rancher goes to his neighbor’s to brand calves or help out with shipping, he takes his best horse,” she says. “That’s the kind of horse we’re looking for in this class. That horse is going to be quiet and gentle, but still have enough get-up-andgo to get the job done. He’s going to be able to do everything the rider asks of him willingly and with a pleasant attitude. He’s going to be handy and athletic.”

Please see RANCHING HERITAGE on page 46

I think the crowd at The NILE will really appreciate the skill and teamwork it takes for horse and rider to perform well in this event.

RANCHING HERITAGE (continued from page 45) And no rancher wants to ride a rough bone-shaker, she adds.

“A rancher’s best horse is going to be smooth to ride with a steady cadence,” Sara says.

“Broke” is one word that comes up a lot when top exhibitors discuss ranch pleasure.

“Versatility” is another word that pops up.

“The ranch pleasure class demonstrates nearly every aspect of what makes an American Quarter Horse fun to ride,” Sara says.

And the Zoetis AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenges are a great way to demonstrate that and maybe earn a bit of money back, Leman says. Part of the entry fees at The NILE will be jackpotted.

“We want to encourage people who own AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeder horses to give our challenges a try,” Leman says.

“They’re a fun way to celebrate the western heritage, and for 2014, we’re adding even more challenges. We hope to see a lot of

new people who want to win some money.

AQHA is committed to the idea that a ranch horse is a good, athletic horse to own and develop a winning relationship with.”

AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeders

So far, AQHA and the AQHA Ranching Council have recognized 236 breeders as AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeders, meaning the ranch is a member of AQHA and has been breeding American Quarter Horses for at least 10 years. The ranch must have at least five mares that it uses to produce horses that are used in a ranch remuda on a cowcalf ranching operation.

“Those ranches can use a special logo in their advertising and on their websites,” Leman says. “When you see that logo, you know you’re dealing with a ranch that has real ranch horses and has been in business for a while. We’ve been pleased to see that logo on so many production sale advertisements in the American Quarter Horse Journal.”

Ranching Heritage Breeders are located in 29 states, four provinces, Canada, Mexico, Germany and France, and they have nominated more than 1,200 foals for AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenges.

“The program is getting a nice, slow build,” Stan says. “I’ve had some people from Texas call and wonder whether I have 2-yearolds they can show. People are starting to look for good ranch horses to show and they’re realizing those horses have extra value.”

The only source for a horse eligible for Zoetis AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenge competition is one of the 236 AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeders. Even if an AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeder owns a horse, if it wasn’t bred by a Ranching Heritage Breeder, it can’t be shown in Ranching Heritage Challenges.

“These folks are the bedrock of AQHA,” Leman says. “They’re breeding quality, athletic Please see RANCHING HERITAGE on page 47

If you think your ranch qualifies to be an AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeder, go online to www.aqha.com/ranching to learn more.

“Our growth so far has been due to the AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeders who have believed in us and the program,” Leman says. “Now we hope more owners of AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeder horses will see our commitment to the program, the amount of money on the line and bring their horses to town to show them off.”

AQHYA Young Horse Development Program

In addition to being the only source for Ranching Heritage Challenge horses, AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeders are the only source for horses for the AQHYA Young Horse Devel-

opment Program, Leman says.

“The Young Horse Development Program is a way to get good American Quarter Horse weanlings in the hands of youngsters whom we hope will be the future of our industry,” Leman says. “In 2013, eight of our breeders generously made weanlings available for an unparalleled learning opportunity.”

Jim and Joni Hunt of Open Box Rafter Ranch in Faith, S.D., have participated in the program since its inception.

“To be honest, the program has done more for us than for the kiddos,” Joni said. “We think of it as a win-win-win. It’s a win for us, a win for the youth and a win for the Association.”

The youth who received weanlings in 2011 have 3-year-olds this year. That’s not just a learning experience, it’s a life-changer, says Jaryd Quintero of Dallesport, Wash., who turns 19 this month.

Jaryd was 16 when he received PC Cisco Frost Bars, a 2011 chestnut gelding bred by the Hunts.

“The big thing about him is he’s a smart little guy,” Jaryd says. “When I started working with him, he learned quickly. He doesn’t spook or anything.

A PUBLICATION OF TRI-STATE LIVESTOCK NEWS

Last year, I started working with him and with the saddle a little bit, getting him used to it. I don’t want to ride him too much while he’s still really young. But he did well.”

Cisco is Jaryd’s first colt-breaking project.

“The first day I put a saddle on him, he bucked a couple of times and then he was good,” Jaryd says. “Right now, I’m letting him take it easy until he gets older so I can start really working with him under saddle. I do high school rodeo and I want to keep rodeoing, so I’d eventually like to maybe use him in rodeo. He’s got some speed in him.”

Breeders who donated horses to the program in 2013 were: • Open Box Rafter Ranch, Faith, S.D. • Stan and Nancy Weaver, Big Sandy, Mont.

• Raymond Sutton Ranch, Gettysburg, S.D. • KT Ranch, Connell, Wash.

• Longhorn Cattle Co., Ellensburg, Wash.

• Running U Livestock, Erda, Utah • Hutchings Cattle Co., Fallon, Nev. • Sunup Ranch, Brainerd, Minn.

• Wagonhound Land & Livestock, Douglas, Wyo.

Join us Oct. 11 at 2 p.m., for the NILE cattle drive and parade A part of the NILE’s mission is to respect our western traditions and heritage. The idea of a western parade and cattle drive was born from the desire to share with our modern culture our agricultural roots. The event will encompass a cattle drive assembled by the Yellowstone County Museum, which will also serve as the Grand Marshall. The Cattle Drive will consist of about 75 head of cattle, a trail boss, out riders, chuck wagon and bunk wagon followed by a motor-less parade. We have proposed a revised parade route to the city of Billings that will go west down 1st Ave. North and back on 2nd Ave. North, then continue out to MetraPark.

David is passionate about portraying the western way of life through his depictions of cowboys and cowgirls, as well as the landscapes and wildlife of the American West.

Flatter Me Starlight is a big, stand up, pretty, well made filly. Gentle to be around and very athletic. She has cow bred on her sire side, with run (thoroughbred) on bottom. We have 2 of her brothers that are top using horses and have lots of cow! Her grandmother was used as a polo pony in California. She has versatility in her bloodlines so could be used in many directions and/or for breeding. Barrel racers take notice- cow bred with run!

This pretty little red dun filly is Ranching Heritage Breeder nominated with her fees paid for 2013. Her sire, Golden Dually, is an own son of Dual Pep and has proven himself in the cutting pen as well as in the reined cowhorse arena. Her dam, being an own daughter of High Brow Hickory and out of a Smart Little Lena mare, is an NCHA money-earner. This filly is a quick learner and a catty mover. Along with her sweet disposition and eye-catching color, she has what it takes to watch a cow and get you there in the performance pen. Truly a good prospect for the NILE 2 year old futurity next year as well as all of the Ranching Heritage Breeder competitions.

Here is a nice colt that is bred and built to be a performer! Dam has produced NRCHA money-earner. This colt is correct, gentle, easy to load, haul, bathe, and trim. Very soft on the halter and willing to learn. Should mature at 15 - 15.1 hands, he is a little behind on growing but is guaranteed to be a big horse when he matures.

He is a special one that’s really going to ride and make a nice horse!

Her sire Kay Cee This Chip stands 16 hands, and this filly should mature 15.2 to 15.3. KC is an AQHA point and money earner in very limited showing. Her mother is my double cream dun daughter of Rare En Gold, who is a grandson of the legendary halter horse Skipa Star. These genetics encompass some of the all time leading point earning horses in AQHA history. This filly is fit, slick, and in show ring condition. I have worked her in the round pen some.

This is a cool little cowhorse colt.

Plenty of flash, was raised out in big country as a baby, fed well as a weanling, and out on good summer pasture this year. I am currently riding the 2 year old out of this mare and he has been very good to deal with and has lots of ability. The sire to this colt is a real nice gentle saddle horse.

His sire, Zipanic, is by Simply A Spark and his dam has Doc Bar breeding.

He should make an outstanding working horse.

Has extensive ponying, flagging, and ground work. With speed on his top side going back to First Down Dash and halter and cow horse on the bottom side, this should be on versatile colt. Take him any direction and look good doing it.

T

he NILE Gold Buckle Select Horse Sales are conducted and managed by a committee whose members have a

variety of experience in the equine industry. The mission is to hold sales where breeders, trainers, and exhibitors can market high-quality horses to buyers from all over the United States and Canada. A few have even been sold to foreign countries. The sale horses have been selected by the sale committee and screened by Jeff Peila, DVM just prior to the sale. Every effort is made to sell only the top quality horses out of those consigned.

The Horse Sale Committee feels that with Lynn Weishaar, auctioneer, John Johnson handling the pedigrees, and the crew of professional ringmen, every consignor has optimum opportunity to sell his/her horse for the highest dollar on that given day.

A special thanks should be given to the Horse Sale Committee, Ward, Lynn, John, the ring crew and the NILE staff for all the hard work that goes into making these sales so successful..

Big, handsome palomino colt with enough bottom to work all day. “Hey Blondie” has been used outside all spring and summer sorting cattle, pairing out, tagging calves and has drug calves and been headed and heeled off of at several brandings.

He has seen time in the arena, knows his leads, moves well off your leg and we have been tracking the roping steers and have tied down some light practice cattle on him. Blondie is ready to go to the ranch and is a great prospect for the roping arena.

An overall ranch gelding that will quickly become your “go to” horse.

Loves to work a cow, can doctor on, ride out in the big country or sort in the corrals. He’ll make a good horse for anyone. The only reason I’m selling him is because we started a family and I simply don’t give him the justice he deserves.

Hard to find gelding the whole family can use!! Our daughter was blessed to have “PJ” as her first barrel/ pole horse. Trained right by Janet Erickson, he’s solid, sound, sane and has no buck or gate issues. He’s bred to fly but is a quieter push type horse.

“PJ” rides great outside, used on the ranch, goes anywhere you point him and stays on a cow. Also a head horse that’s suited for lower level ropers.

Hatch is an exceptional young gelding with a bright future ahead. Won many conformation classes as a yearling. Easy to load, haul, bathe, trim, clip, etc. Very gentle, no spook, no buck. Been used lightly on the ranch all year. He is used to a rope, will cross the river all day. Going very well and ready to be finished in your choice of discipline.

“Remmi” is a very broke 3-year-old.

She was the 2013 NILE Snaffle Bit Two-Year-Old Futurity Reserve Champion. She has over a year of professional reined cowhorse training. She has been ridden outside to gather cattle and is very willing.

We have also started heeling on her.

Remmi would make an awesome high school rodeo horse in the reined cowhorse and roping events. For more information contact Travis Young at 406-321-0734.

“Honey” is a six-year-old that we raised and started. She is a full sister to “Rope”, a horse currently rodeo’d on by my sister Milee Dailey. We have used her to ranch, brand, move cattle in mountains, and some trail riding. Roped calves on her outside to tag them. Has been good to shoe and load. “Honey” is ready to go onto a discipline of your choice.

We have owned “Hank” since he was a 2-year-old. JR Winters started him and from there he spent two years working on the Snowline Grazing Association. He knows a days work and is as solid as they come at the end of a rope. He’s been hauled as a pickup horse to rodeos all over MT, WA, OR, BC and AB for the last six years. Gentle and quiet, anybody can ride this horse and he’s in his prime. No bad habits, he’s broke, honest and the prettiest gelding you’ll see for a long time, guaranteed. We stand by him, he’s been a go-to gelding for a long time. Sound. 406-539-4938.

I would call him kid broke but it depends on the kid. He is still young, not afraid to rope a cow in the hills. You can turn him out for a month and not be afraid to climb on. He is gentle but still has lots of life.

Duke is a big, flashy bay roan. He is a great all-around ranch and arena horse - finished on barrels, poles, and heading. He has run barrels with a youth rider for two years. He is good in the alley and is easy to run. He won’t run by a barrel and likes his job. He has been roped on by ropers from a 1 to a 5. He is good in the box, comes out fast and flat and will track until you throw your rope. Has won buckles and money running barrels at Cottonwood Challenge and Three Can Tango; roping at WTRC World Series Ropings. Easy to catch, load, shoe, bathe. Respectful, anyone can ride him, would be good for a Junior High or High School kid or just to use on a ranch.

Alpha is a fun gelding. He was used in his younger years as a stallion in California and is a very well bred Haflinger. He can now be pastured with mares and geldings with no issues. He has been ridden off and on for the last few years and has been ridden consistently this summer by a talented group of kids.

Alpha was used on cows and shows a good desire to work cattle. I used him extensively to drag logs out of the forest for firewood. Alpha would be a great mountain horse but also has the ability to be used in dressage or jumping if someone wanted to take him down that path. Alpha has many years of use left in him as Haflingers typically last into their 30’s.

Chism is a 9-year-old golden palomino and good looking. He rides, loads, shoes good and is easy to catch. He has been used on a big ranch in Nevada. They have roped, doctored and branded off him.

“Alice” is a gorgeous 14.2 hand sorrel mare that is bred for performance.

Wade Black started her. We took her home and used her. Then turned her out for the past two years. Got her in, threw a saddle on her and rode off with a loose cinch. Swing a rope, climbed around on her, and she didn’t miss a step. She would make a great heel horse prospect or a nice addition to a breeding program. She is ready for a job.

Nugget is currently being ridden by a talented group of kids here in the Bitterroot valley. He is out of a Haflinger mare that belonged to one of my kids. She was very cowy and a solid kids horse. Nugget is by one of my cutting bred horses that I now use as my saddle horse. Nugget is a fun and kind horse. Would be good for the trails or for a ranch kid looking for a project. He has great feet and built to pull.

I acquired “Bud” as a 2 year old from Black Ranches, NE. He was one of the last foal crops to get the Hairpin Jaw brand from Roan Prairie Leachman’s. I started him with light riding as a 3 year old. Robbie Moore put Vanzi Reno Bar the beginning of a finish, shipping several thousand head of cattle last fall, and Ken King Cody Bee Swope calved heifers this spring and worked him in the branding pen. Bud has Twisty Clegg never bucked one time in all his riding. He stands good to be shod, pulls good from Gooseberry the horn and isn’t hard to catch. “Bud” has been exposed to the right type of use at the right time to become Miss Dusty Dot an outstanding gelding.

He and all his siblings share her big stop, good mind and trainability. He will meet you at the gate. He has been over trail obstacles, had a rope thrown off of him, ridden in the desert, over small jumps and he will follow a cow. His sire has NRCHA lte $20,000 and was the 2005 NRCHA Open Hackamore National Champion and is still being shown by Bond Ranch. I’ve owned him since he was born. If you have any questions please call 307-899-8311. I'm only selling him because I had an accident with a serious injury to my hand so I will be unable to ride for some time and doctor bills are stacking up.
