GLUCoat is a unique product that can be used to replace any oil or fat that you might be using. When a calf is behind in weight, not eating good, not fat enough, etc. the first thing a person does or thinks of is to “ADD FAT ” Studies show that feed intake and feed efficiency go down when a feed reaches 6% or more in fat content. So putting fat or oils into a show feed will normally sail over that 6% mark. In return, you are defeating the purpose of adding fat and may have a negative effect on weight gain, feed intake, and feed efficiency. When too much oil or fat is used, it will coat the rumen and the feed particles in the rumen which will slow down the digestion of the nutrients. GLUCoat is different ...

• GLUCoat is not a fat product.

• GLUCoat is a sugar product. The unique blend of sugars keeps the rumen working longer and faster than just a single source of glucose such as cane molasses. By speeding up rumen activity comes increased feed intake and palatability. It has been shown to dramatically enhance fat cover, increase feed efficiency and average daily gain.

• GLUCoat also has the Cellarator technology as it contains the active ingredient Cell-rate, which aids in the process of cellular replication, supports the animal’s immune system, lowers stress levels, and aids in muscle and fat development.

• GLUCoat has a refined flavored fish oil that contains the highest levels of Omega 3 Fatty Acids for joint health and naturally occurring Vitamin E which is great for skin and hair.

• GLUCoat can also increase glucose levels which is stored in the body as fat, giving livestock that bloomier, fuller, softer look that is demanded in the show ring today.

• GLUCoat is molasses based and sweet to the taste, cattle love it!

GLUCoat is the most widely used feed additive on the market today. It’s the next level or generation to a fat source or supplement. You will never use a fat product again! Whether it’s market steers or breeding cattle your calf will feel better, act better and their eating habits will change. GLUCoat WILL KEEP YOU READY FOR THE RING!!

NATURAL STRIDE - Without question in the show ring today soundness is a necessity and with the advancements in genetics and performance we have stressed the structure of livestock to the limits.

As we continue to push the show animal of today to its highest potential we will also see more and more movement problems.

Whether it’s swelling, flexibility, joint pain or just wear and tear, Natural Stride is your answer. This revolutionary, one-of-a-kind, ALL NATURAL formula has led to dramatic results in todays show animal. Natural Stride benefits the joint in 4 ways ...

• First, it helps modulate or “calm down” the body’s immune response to joint stress - enhancing joint recovery and minimizing damage from pain and activity.

• Second, cetyl myristoleate may act as an anti-inflammatory, helping to reduce the symptoms of “inflammatory arthritis” and other conditions in which inflammation can lead to slow recovery, damaged tissues, increased pain and restricted motion.

• Third, cetyl myristoleate can stimulate joint lubrication to help relieve stiffness, which may improve mobility and enhance the natural range of motion.

• Finally, cetyl myristoleate has had an analgesic or “pain-killing” effect that may help to reduce joint pain, hence increasing your animal’s comfort.

HIDE AND HAIR is the revolutionary new hair growth product from Natural Solutions For Livestock. Not only has it been shown to grow hair but it encourages skin health which is essential for optimum hair growth. HIDE AND HAIR contains kelp and seaweed which has been shown to lower body temperature. Cattle will potentially take the higher or hotter temperature better when going to a show. This new product comes in granulated form, is extremely palatable, and best of all it contains no melatonin. HIDE AND HAIR is the first of its kind designed to be administered 60-90 days before show.

A bucket of HIDE AND HAIR will last 45 days per head. Hair runs in 45 day cycles so you could start seeing results in as little as 45 days. This is a great tool to help with your success, but always remember daily hair care and management play an important roll as well. HIDE AND HAIR has no melatonin so you can not use it too long. With melatonin, there is a point where hair comes to a peak, then hair goes down hill and is hard to recover. With HIDE AND HAIR you are able to plan multiple peaks with a more consistent hair growth over a longer period of time without the valley. It is also great for skin and hair health, so you can administer it for a longer period of time and not be a negative.

“The bull was fit with Weaver products. The strong adhesive will be a mainstay in my showbox. I really appreciate the quality and thought that went into these products. They were obviously designed by a professional for professionals.”

Kyle Walter, Walter Cattle Co.

“This new line of adhesives provides novice, intermediate and experienced fitters a great selection to choose from. With three degrees of adhesive strength, they also do a great job on stiff, fine or unmanageable hair. At my clinics, I tell everyone the two general rules I live by when working with adhesives: 1) the stiffer the hair, the stronger the adhesive needs to be and 2) spray a little, comb a lot.”

Windfall

Sire: Payday • Dam: Queen 010 by Explorer

Gambles

Royal Flush

We view Windfall as a stouter, more powerful version of BSAR his sire who should improve soundness and profile.

He will work great on the females that have become perhaps too moderate and will improve neck extension, width, and belly. Windfall’s dam is the foundation of the PVF program. Alan Miller at PVF says the first Windfall progeny are indeed everything he hoped Sire: BSAR Design Doctor they’d be.

Dam: Lassie 746 by Lutton

Opportunity is doublebred OCC Doctor on the paternal side, with some EXT blended in. He is a big footed, performance oriented sire with loads of look.

Many at Denver said he is one of the few bulls who can be used on a variety of females. Opportunity owns super EPDs. Owned by Stewart at MidContinent Farms (KS) and Bush Angus (SD).

Royal Flush is a powerful maternal brother to the famous champion and sire of champions, Gambles Hot Rod. Use Royal Flush to add loads of belly and rib with power and muscle shape.

Topline Farms (IL) averaged nearly $6,000 on his sons in their 2010 Bull Sale. You’ll want to check out his breed -leading spread EPDs.

By-Product is a moderately framed, super hairy, deep bodied son of the popular calving ease sire, Final Product. Rutledge Farms (IL) purchased this chunk in Musgraves’ 2010 Bull Sale to use on their heifers and add hair and belly to their cowherd.

Opportunity

Sire: Marathon • Dam:Lady 703 by Saugahatchee

Rodman

Sire: Connealy Final Product Dam: Missie 936 by Bando 1961 Rodman is Mid-Continent Farms’ (KS) answer for producing calving ease and eye appeal. He sired the Reserve Champion Female at the 2010 NAILE. Rodman also sired the high-selling bull in the JSAR 2010 Bull Sale.

Sire: WAR Hall of Fame Dam: Miss Ferd by WAR Ferdinand

The Answer

Sire: Final Answer • Dam: by 878 son

MCATL By-Product

Total Recall

Total Recall is Griswold Cattle Company’s (OK) calving ease super-sire.

He moderates frame and improves body depth and fleshing ability, while maintaining style. Total Recall has sired some super heifers.

Sire: OCC Missing Link Dam: Juanada 741K by Emblazon The Answer is calving-ease deluxe with a great front end. He sired the Grand Champion Pen of 3 percentage Simmy heifers for Grass-Lunning at the 2011 NWSS. Horsley Brothers (IL) have used him successfully, too!

Satchmo

Satchmo is adding some power and hip to his progeny with a cool look.

He’s built similarly to Lut, with bone and hair and a neat front end.

Homozygous black and polled!

Plain and simple... this is the baldy, outcross, Simmental sire we’ve ALL been looking for!

Purebred Simmental Reg. 2341498 Sire: Flying B Prime Cut by TE McCredie Dam: by GW Bright Light

Cut Above fondly earned the nickname “Fat Butt” for his pronounced badonka donk. Take just one look at “Fat Butt”, and it is clear why he’s bound for stardom. You won’t find a purebred Simmental sire with more muscle shape, neck extension, and base width. This package is transported on a perfectly designed, massive set of feet & legs. Phenotype alone is enough to use this bull. Enhancing his value is the fact that he’s related to virtually none of the popular sires of today, yet brings to the table some of the most recognizable and successful foundation sires of the past - notably, Black Max & Buck on both sides. Fat Butt progeny are unlike any from a Simmental sire you’ve used before.

They’re a well-balanced package of muscle, bone, style, hair, and incredible structure.

Calving

reports are lights out!

Fat Butt’s 2010 NAILE class-winning daughter.

Unbelievable is an incredibly designed calving ease prospect that owns unique neck extension, unquestioned structural soundness, extra special belly depth, and super muscle shape for an Angus bull.

Unbelievable is sired by the wildly popular Bismarck bull, yet offers extra depth and hair, no doubt due his maternally stacked pedigree which consists of a double shot of legendary Flashback laced with VRD and TC Dividend. We envision Unbelievable siring extra-ordinary low birth-weight progeny utilizable in both purebred and hybrid cowherds. We can’t wait for Unbelievable progeny!

“Captain Obvious progeny were the talk of the yards at the 2010 National Western Stock Show. A Captain son sold for $7900 at the public auction, and 5 Captain sons averaged an amazing 1.29 REA/cwt in the Lakeside pen. Sullivan Farms also purchased a flush out of Captain's dam! Count on Captain Obvious to moderate frame, add guts, and work on your heifers, while maintaining and even improving structural soundness.

We are also excited to see what Captain's son, Nitro, will produce this spring.”

Damn Proud was thought to be the best Shorthorn bull in the yards at Denver in 2011, or some say, of any color. This one is FUNCTIONAL, STOUT RIBBED, and MASSIVE HIPPED, while not giving up that incredible look from the side. Simply, you can put trust into Damn Proud to generate those heifers with a maternal look while being correct in their build, or show steers with body mass and muscle. Damn Proud will make them backdrop quality while giving you a shot to hang some BANNERS. May 2011 • theshowcircuit.com

Said by many good cattlemen to be one the best bulls to sell in Denver this year, Score Board has created quite a stir. He is a true power bull that is heavy muscled, big bodied, big testicled with a massive foot; this combined with his look and eye appeal and his flawless structural makeup makes Score Board a potential breed changer.

Showmanship Points by Division Oklahoma Club Calf Association - April 2011

Hello from OCCA! OYE is over, and spring is finally here. Congratulations to all the winners at Oklahoma City. It is so dry in Central Oklahoma that wildfires are a common sight.

Please pray for rain. The 2010-2011 show season is over, and the winners are listed in this issue.

There will be pictures of the winners in the next issue. OCCA’s year-end banquet is Friday, April 22, where all awards will be presented, along with the Sunrise Award. Make plans to be there and bring your family.

Beef Expo is April 22nd and 23rd. Make plans to be there, and while you are there, thank our sponsors, Purina, CM Trailers, Cinch, Cruel Girl, Multimin, and Vita Firm. Without our sponsors we wouldn’t be what we are today. Good luck at all the shows, and we will see you at Beef Expo.

Kansas Club Calf Association

Kansas if 150 years old this year! This is a great year for our state and for the KCCA! We have a new group with new ideas, new contests, new Junior Directors, new Adult Directors, and a membership of over 95 young people at this time. Let’s go for 150 members, just like the age of our state! Memberships will be available at all the upcoming shows, so kids can sign up at a show and start accumulating points.

There are several shows in each of our districts and more coming in every day. Therefore, with the top six shows counting for your year-ends, you wouldn’t have to travel very far to be competitive in the yearend standings.

Please get all your county calf tag numbers to Bobbi Shrum as soon as possible, so that your steers and market heifers can be identified properly in the point listings. This is mandatory! If you do not have tags yet, send them as soon as you get them. If your county doesn’t have their tags yet, please tag your animals with some type of identification tag and send the KCCA that information. The following information is requested: • Name of Animal, registered name or your own “barn name” • Breed of Animal • Age of Animal, month and year of birth at least • County Identification tag or ID used for State Fair, etc.

• Name of Member who owns that animal We are currently listing calves by breed and weights in the point systems, but this will not be efficient later in the year. In order to get credit for your points, you MUST have your calves properly identified.

Scholarship Speech & Essay Contest - This division of our association is currently being organized and put into effect. Rules and information will be posted by August 2011. The contest will be held at the same time as the year-end banquet and awards assembly. All juniors and seniors in high schoool should be thinking about this opportunity.

Please keep check the KCCA website continually to monitor your points listing. We are striving to make sure that all the points are correct, but we appreciate your help. If you have questions or comments, contact Bobbi Shrum.

Bobbi Shrum, KCCA Executive Director - bobbi@olivierranch.com - 580-541-7750

id You Know?

With advanced reproductive technologies such as in In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), breeders can go even further in multiplying the success of their breeding program.

When compared to conventional embryo transfer, IVF may be a better option in certain circumstances.

Capturing genetics previously unavailable IVF has proven to be successful on donors previously unable to achieve success in conventional ET. Many breeders also appreciate the ability to create embryos from pregnant donors and younger heifers with IVF. Also, a terminal IVF procedure can allow you to create embryos from a down or injured animal.

Keeping cattle on an annual production cycle Creating pregnancies from a donor that is gestating her natural calf holds tremendous opportunity for livestock

breeders to capture the most value from their best cows. It can be a great opportunity to generate offspring from elite heifers, and allowing them to calve at the appropriate time.

Utilizing sexed semen from any bull Trans Ova has developed a process called Reverse Sort, which allows for the thawing of un-sexed semen that is then run through a semen sorter. The resulting semen is used to fertilize oocytes in IVF. Trans Ova Genetics can sex semen from nearly any bull that has ever been collected for use in IVF. In addition, semen that is sorted then frozen, also works very well in IVF. Minimal semen needed IVF semen needs are much smaller than those required for embryo transfer. In the event of rare or very expensive semen, one unit of semen can be used to fertilize the unfertile oocytes (eggs) from 5 or more donor cows. IVF is a very effective tool for maximizing semen per embryo.

A Spring viSit to reimAnn rAncheS

orn and raised in Miller, SD, Nick Reimann now ranches as part of the family-owned and -operated Reimann Ranches, along with his wife

Kyrstin and their six-month-old son Croix, parents Kent and Nora, and brother Barry and his wife Jill.

Reimann Ranches began the old fashioned way - from the lowest rung on the success ladder. Reimann’s grandfather, Don, worked with the Jennings brothers (Ted and Clayton, of the originally operated Hylan Angus operation located near Highmore, SD), gaining valuable experience working with such a high-

quality registered Angus herd. In the 1940’s, Don began to invest in land and purchased cattle, eventually establishing the headquarters of Reimann Ranches in Ree Heights, SD, where the Reimann family produced and bred mostly commercial Angus cattle.

In time, the Reimann Ranches cattle business began to flourish.

Don’s son, Kent, attended college and played football at Moorhead State University in Minnesota, and in 1979 he returned home to assist his father, later purchasing land himself and expanding the operation, while raising a family with his wife, Nora, which consisted of their sons, Nick and Barry.

Article By Sonja Langseth Photos by Sonja Langseth & Chris Rosa

Approximately 13 years ago, the ownership of the Reimann cattle transitioned from father to son. Kent is the main manager of the operation, while Don retained ownership of the land. At the same time, Reimann Ranches began to integrate the breeding and raising of show cattle due to young Barry and Nick’s interest in club calves.

“It’s a lot more work,” said Kent when comparing raising commercial cattle to show cattle. “It’s not for everyone. It involves a lot more management – embryo work became huge, as well as time spent in deciding breeding selection, marketing, and preparing for sales.”

Although the workload almost doubled by incorporating club calves, Kent still pushed his sons to leave the farm and gain experience in the cattle industry outside of the home

Kent, Nick, and Barry Reimann pictured here on their annual “decision day,” when they choose which heifers to keep and sell. operations, hiring external help to keep the business functioning.

Older son Nick sought his education in Oklahoma at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College (NEO) and Oklahoma State University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Agri-Business.

Barry attended college at South Dakota State University, where he also earned a degree in Agri-Business. Following his education, Barry settled in Marion, SD, where he worked as a grain merchandiser for one of the largest ethanol companies in the state.

Eventually, Barry and Nick both returned home, working and contributing a variety of skills that today keep Reimann Ranches successful and thriving. Founder Don still remains the cornerstone of the outfit, making often trips from his home in

Miller, SD, to the headquarters to oversee operations and work with his children and grandchildren.

In 2007, Nick purchased an additional farm just a few miles away from the ranch headquarters, which currently operates as a show barn, expanding marketability by adding the extra space and an optimal location.

Today, Reimann Ranches accounts for just under 12,000 acres while running morean than 1,000 cows. In addition, the Reimann family puts up 6,000 round bales every summer and maintains their grain operaion, rotating wheat, corn, and soybeans annually.

“It’s always intense.

There’s always something breaking down that you have to adjust

your usual practices to account for,” said Nick. “But if you want to be successful, you need to hit the ground running every morning, no matter if you’re cleaning, clipping, whatever – there’s always a season.”

road to success The pieces involved in the success of Reimann Ranches didn’t fit together all at once. Nick attributes a majority of his success to his opportunities as a young man.

Growing up on the operation’s headquarters, he was surrounded by commercial cattle from an early age. He didn’t become involved with show cattle until he was was 4-H-age, helping fit his friends’ 4-H calves, eventually following the show cattle circuit more extensively with his own calves.

As a youngster, Nick began to learn to perform Artificial Insemination (AI) principles. Though he had interest in other livestock species, his focus on the cattle industry never wavered from the beginning.

“When you start building something from the ground up, you want to make ev-

between the pages erything better each year,” expressed Nick.

“After a while, it’s all you know. Call it specializing, call it passion, call it whatever you want – I just focus on trying to make this year better than last year.”

His curiosity piqued by the details behind AI-ing, when he was 13 years old Nick attended an AI school at Genex in Yankton, SD. Later that spring, he used his newfound knowledge by AI-ing all of the heifers on the ranch.

By that time Nick had learned there was a vast difference between commercial cattle and club calves, especially in feeding and fitting. Nick spent a lot of time observing seasoned fitters.

“Nobody really taught me how to clip. I think I spent more time on the show stick scratching calves and watching my friends do the work in those early days,” admits Nick. Eager for learning, he watched closely as his friends Chad Forman and Bob Bruns worked on high-quality show calves for Greg Kroupa of White Lake, SD. As time went by, Nick gradually segued into working on the cattle himself, developing his own skills and style.

His experience and careful precision with his clipping techniques earned him a spot clipping for Bob May Show Steers.

“It was an honor to be able to help and work for cattlemen of such stature when I was at such a young age,” recalls Nick. “To me, it was a bigger honor than a paycheck – when you’re at such a high caliber operation as Bob May’s. They don’t ask just anyone to help clip for them.”

After graduating from high school, Nick was offered a livestock judging scholarship at NEO, where he remained for two years judging under Jerry Douglas. Here, he cultivated strong bonds with fellow cattle enthusiasts, many of which he still has to this day.

After finisheding at NEO, Nick went on to attend Oklahoma State. It was during this time that Nick met John Griswold of Griswold Cattle Company in Stillwater, Okla. From the initial introduction, Griswold took Reimann under his wing, allowing him the use of his facilities and mentoring him through his endeavors for the following five years.

Nick attributes the meeting as fate, saying without Griswold’s support and networking guidance, he wouldn’t have made it to his current successes today.

May 2011 • theshowcircuit.com

283

A modest man, Griswold passed off the remarks, insisting it was the Nick’s drive and thirst for the cattle business that jumpstarted his success.

“He was just a really good kid – sharp - and always down at the pens. He struck me as a very independent go-getter,” said Griswold. “He helped us out a lot, and the sound knowledge he had prior to coming to GCC made his help all that more valuable.”

While at GCC, Reimann met another man who would affect his life: Luke Doris from Santanta, Kan. A fellow cattle enthusiast with a similar level of initiative, Doris and Reimann became fast friends, learning valuable lessons under the guidance of John Griswold. Nick and Luke would travel the country, acquiring calves with potential for the show ring. Nick hosted a fall pasture sale at his parents’ in South Dakota, and he would bring the younger calves back down to GCC, where he and Luke would work on them and place them with buyers. At one time, the two had over a hundred head housed at Griswold’s, and their steers went on to win at Kansas City, Fort Worth, Denver,, Lousiville, and more.

Nick continues to cooperate with Doris and Griswold to this day, returning regularly to assist with the annual Griswold sale in December. The three continue to exchange use of facilities, tips on cattle selection, and stories.

Leaving Oklahoma State in 2004 with a degree in agricultural business, Nick returned home to help AI and calve in the spring but continued to stretch his wings, traveling nationwide and making

connections with a vast variety of breeders, show coordinators, auctioneers, and many others involved in the club calf business.

In 2009, Nick made a purchase that greatly impacted the trajectory of Reimann Ranches when he acquired the cow herd of Leroy Beitelspacher of Bowdle, SD. The deal included the 300-head herd of club calf mothers, on which AI had been practiced for 40 years.

“As in any significant move, it was a big transition for us. But it really propelled us forward, acquiring such high-quality cows with such a great genetic foundation,” shares Nick.

passing it on Reimann contributes to agricultural organizations whenever possible, even if it means dropping personal business in order to offer his assistance to local cattlemen.

Within South Dakota, he officiates for FFA livestock judging in nearby Miller and has also assisted in 4-H livestock judging, passing on his knowledge from judging as a college student. In addition, he assists in the coordination of several other judging contests in surrounding areas, as well as colleges such as South Dakota State University.

Reimann also acts as a sale consultant for other producers’ bred-heifer sales, giving a third party evaluation of the heifers that come up on the auction block.

A unique aspect to Reimann Ranches is that Nick attempts to service Reimannraised cattle even after they have been sold, expressing the desire to do anything in his power to ensure that the family or trader has their money’s worth. He also follows up by researching the buyer’s methods, from feeding to finishing, studying what works for other producers and fitters across the country, compiling that information, and making that knowledge accessible for his own personal business endeavors and those of the cattle companies and individuals for whom he consults.

In order to be able to offer legitimate counsel for external businesses as well as make executive business decisions for Reimann Ranches, Nick spends up to 30% of his year putting countless miles on the road, studying various segments of the cattle industry - a direct testament to his intense dedication to his passion.

During his cross country travels, his time is divided between bull and cow evaluations, as well as learning the latest techniques in cattle feeding and breeding.

“If you want to be successful, you need to hit the ground running every morning.”

Perhaps his most important job is the relationships he cultivates and the connections he makes with cattlemen while seeking their expertise and reasons behind their selections.

According to Nick, it’s not just about studying the genetics of an animal to determine its offspring’s potential; it’s also about physically studying the animal itself. He leans away from making breeding decisions based on a photo, finding it to be more valuable to see the animal in person.

making it work A family-owned and -operated facility, the Reimanns work together to share the responsibilities involved with such a large operation, splitting the farm’s focuses into specialty divisions each Reimann oversees.

Kent is involved with the feeding, nutrition, and grain producing portions, assisted by wife Nora with record keeping and office work.

Since Barry’s return to the farm in 2008, he has been in charge of marketing and merchandising all of the commercial product from the operation, oversees the farm’s non-family employees, and runs the haying opeartion. Barry’s wife, Jill, works as a nurse in Pierre.

This leaves Nick open to focus on the cattle production side, optimizing both yield and performance from the ranch’s animals. Nick’s wife, Kyrstin, is a physician’s assistant, providing medical care to the Sioux Tribe on their reservation in Lower Brule, SD.

“In the future I’d really like to get even more into the production side of things and be able to stay home more, but I do believe that staying at home more has a direct correlation to your phone ringing less,” said Nick.

However, Reimann doesn’t believe it’s all about marketing. He believes having high quality, honest cattle is what really decides the weighted value of both the cattle company and the cattle them-

selves.

For Reimann Ranches, a lot of the behind-the-scenes work in producing such cattle involves centering on embryo transfer. Reimann Ranches has invested heavily into embryo transfer, finding it important to keep the high quality of their livestock consistent through the years.

“We get a lot of nice ones running through here. But in such a competitive business, you need to have ones that are better than average” said Nick.

A few years ago, he began working with Brad Smith and Wade Rodgers, along with a number of other coordinators, in establishing an annual bred heifer and cow sale in December. 2011 will be the fourth year this sale has been held, and Reimann looks forward to its turnout.

Recently, Nick accepted a position as a South Dakota representative for fitting clinics and demonstrations with John Sullivan. In this position, he hopes to be able to capture his knowledge and give it back to the state of South Dakota, while simultaneously cultivating young adults’ passion for the cattle industry.

know, it’s who you know.” However, he finds a different twist to the familiar phrase.

“Essentially, it’s both the ‘who’ and the ‘what’,” he explains. “The ‘who’ gets you in the door, but it’s the ‘what’ that gets you up the stairs towards success. You need to have that fundamental knowledge in order to continue your journey, no matter what the career or objective.”

He went on to add that despite the hard work and long hours, he wouldn’t trade what he does for anything, enjoying every angle of the Reimann Ranches operations.

Over the years, he has discovered the rewards of constant vigilance in keeping up to date with the latest technology and methods, and continuing to cultivate both new and old networking opportunities.

“Reimann is at the top of his game today, working as one of the most elite club calf producers in the North,” observed John Griswold.

“And he’s only going to get bigger and better, doing wonders for this industry.”

Reimann Ranches continues to work to create animals that offer a premium value in the show cattle industry. Along with his superior cattle, it is likely Nick will be remembered and turned to for his integrity, go-getter attitude, and the knowledge and passion for the cattle industry that is sure to be passed to young cattle enthusiasts of the next generation.

moving forward Today, Nick roots his life philosophy with the old adage of “it’s not what you

our Facts on Retirement

The freedom to “think big” about the long term requires more than a certain mind-set. When it comes to thinking big about retirement, it requires a sense of confidence about what you are going to live on. In the post-pension era, that means having a plan of your own—one built on the retirement you envision, and that also takes into account rising medical costs, longer life spans and inflation. This means a portfolio that smartly generates income as you need it. Logical additions to such a portfolio are annuities, which guarantee income over specified periods.

Annuities are insurance contracts that guarantee1 you an income stream that can last as long as you live—and, typically, provide a death benefit for your named beneficiaries. Annuities allow you to save and grow your money on a tax-deferred basis, then receive regular income payments later, after you retire. Some annuity contracts offer a fixed rate of interest, while others make it possible for you to invest in diversified portfolios of stocks, bonds or other investment strategies. Many annuities also offer a variety of benefit options, usually for additional fees.

It can’t be emphasized enough that there is no substitute for a comprehensive retirement savings program that takes full advantage of other tax-favored vehicles such as IRAs and 401(k) accounts. However, an annuity can be a valuable supplement to such plans—particularly because there are no IRS limits on your ability to use after-tax dollars to fund annuity contracts.2 Consider these facts and you will see why providing for an adequate post-retirement income can be a difficult challenge: Fact: Over the past two decades, inflation has averaged 3.0%.

At that rate, a dollar loses more than a quarter of its real value after 10 years, and almost half after 20 years. So even if you reduce your spending in retirement, you will probably need a significantly higher income than you do now. (Society of Actuaries Annuity 2000 Mortality Tables) Fact: If present trends continue, it has been estimated that the Social Security trust fund may be exhausted by 2037, four years ahead of the date estimated in 2007. (Social Security Administration, www.ssa.gov, 2009) Fact: Traditional pension plans are increasingly being replaced by 401(k) accounts and other so-called defined contribution plans, which place investment risk and longevity risk on the employee, not the employer.

Fact: If you and your spouse are both 65 years old, there’s a

286 May 2011 • theshowcircuit.com

one-in-three chance you or your spouse will live to age 95. You could both easily spend more time in retirement than you did working.

Annuities don’t eliminate inflation, market volatility or unpredictable events. They can, however, help fill a void in your retirement strategy by providing a guaranteed stream of income that can last a lifetime.

Whether your retirement is years or months away, or even here today, you need a strategy that will provide a dependable income stream. As part of a comprehensive retirement plan, annuities have much to offer. Your Financial Advisor can help you determine whether an annuity is right for you.

worth watching: s eC r e Ta r I aT

the buzz outside the barn We know it’s not always about show cattle, sire promotions, and show results. There’s also lots of agriculture-related books and movies that we think are worth giving our two cents on. Enjoy!

abouT The MovIe… Everyone needed a hero. They got two. One is a massive, chestnut-colored horse, known to his friends and family as Big Red. Everyone else will call him Secretariat.

The other, a self-described Denver housewife, is less recognized, but she is as gallant and charismatic as her steed. Her name is Penny Chenery Tweedy, and her faith in this horse will galvanize the nation, revolutionize horse racing and, ultimately, change her life’s course entirely.

Based on a remarkable true story, “Secretariat” chronicles the spectacular journey of a 1973 Triple Crown winner. Housewife and mother Penny Chenery Tweedy agrees to take over her ailing father’s Virginia-based Meadow Stables, despite her lack of horse-racing experience. Against all odds, with the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin, she manages to navigate the male-dominated business, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and what may be the greatest racehorse of all time.

DID You Know?

• Not only did Secretariat set the record for the fastest time at the Kentucky Derby (1:59 2/5), each of his quarter-mile splits were faster than the preceding one, which means he was still accelerating at the end of the race.

• Secretariat’s time in the Kentucky Derby is still the record for that race ever.

• In the Belmont Stakes, both Secretariat’s winning margin (31 lengths) and his winning time (2:24) still stand after 37 years.

• Five horses played the part of Secretariat. “Trolley Boy”, the principle horse used, was selected by Penny Chenery herself, in a Secretariat look-alike contest in Kentucky, and even walked the Red Carpet at the film premiere in Hollywood.

• The jockeys in the film are actually professional jockeys. There was much riding to be done, and filmmakers knew actors wouldn’t be able to get the horses to perform as required, like gauging the distances needed for the various wins, places, and shows. The director says the distances are accurate to within 1/2 length in each recreation of each race.

whaT we ThoughT There has been a lot of talk about “Secretariat” in animal-loving circles since its release in October, so we decided to see what the fuss was about. The biggest question most people have been asking is, “is it as good as Seabiscuit?” While “Secretariat” conjures similar images and action, it is our opinion that the film is neither better, nor worse , just different.

You might remember there was a lot of editorializing in “Seabiscuit”. The stories presented by each character, and especially the commentary from the narrator, all contribute to a sort of snapshot of the country at Seabiscuit’s time. They make statements about the depression-era economy, the plight of the poor, the pasttimes of the wealthy, the renaissance of industrial manufacturing, and so forth. The film was just as much about the country as it was the horse. In fact, the manner in which the story unfolds places Seabiscuit (the horse) as a symbolic figure, representing each facet of American society at the time – the down-

a good read bLaCK heeLs To TraCTor wheeLs abouT The auThor From her blog: thepioneerwoman.com Howdy. I’m Ree Drummond, also known as The Pioneer Woman. I’m a moderately agoraphobic ranch wife and mother of four. Welcome to my frontier!

I’m a middle child who grew up on the seventh fairway of a golf course in a corporate town. After high school, I thought my horizons needed broadening. I attended college in California, then got a job and wore black pumps to work every day. I ate sushi and treated myself to pedicures on a semi-regular basis. I even kissed

James Garner in an elevator once. I loved him deeply, despite the fact that our relationship only lasted 47 seconds.

Unexpectedly, during a brief visit to my hometown, I met and fell in love with a rugged cowboy. Now I live in the middle of nowhere on a working cattle ranch. My days are spent wrangling children, chipping dried manure from boots, washing jeans, and making gravy. I have no idea how I got here…but you know what? I love it. Don’t tell anyone!

trodden trainer, the grieving father and millionaire, the impoverished and desperate jockey – each one an underdog like Seabiscuit himself, trying to deal with their circumstances.

“Secretariat”, on the other hand, is a much more internally focused storyline, dealing almost exclusively with the horse and Penny Chenery.

Yes, the housewife owner deals with the struggles of gender discrimination, family balance, and generational succession, but the film doesn’t try to make the sweeping summation that “Seabiscuit” did. It pretty much sticks to telling the story of the horse and his circumstances, and how he became a legend. Viewers are made confident that this is a true story, told accurately.

Despite its lack of grandeur, it is an inspiring tale about a legendary animal. You might be familiar with the horse, Secretariat, but this film will give you an insider look at how he became of the greatest racehorses and sires of all time. Complete with extra interviews from some the actual people who handled and cared for Secretariat, this film will be sure to provide a night of entertainment and also education.

abouT The booK From her blog: thepioneerwoman.com I’ll never forget that night. It was like a romance novel, an old Broadway musical, and a John Wayne western rolled into one. Out for a quick drink with friends, I wasn’t looking to meet anyone, let alone a tall, rugged cowboy who lived on a cattle ranch miles away from my cultured, corporate hometown. But before I knew it, I’d been struck with a lightning bolt... and I was completely powerless to stop it.

Read along as I recount the rip-roaring details of my unlikely romance with a chaps-wearing cowboy, from the early days of our courtship (complete with cows, horses, prairie fire, and passion) all the way through the first year of our marriage, which would be filled with more challenge and strife – and manure – than I ever could have expected.

This isn’t just my love story; it’s a universal tale of passion, romance, and all-encompassing love that sweeps us off our feet.

It’s the story of a cowboy.

And Wranglers.

And chaps.

And the girl who fell in love with them.

stablishing Costs for Switchgrass

May Not Compete with Corn or Soybean Production

Regarding my article for this issue, instead of writing about a nutrition topic of current interest, I am sharing with you the first year economic results of a study we are conducting regarding switchgrass. Numerous beef cattle producers have expressed interest in considering planting and raising switchgrass, but this study may discourage that consideration. The Livestock and Urban Waste Research (LUW) Team has received a Department of Energy grant to determine the effect of irrigating treated municipal waste water on switchgrass biomass production. Secondary objectives include: a. compare the biomass production potential of commercially available cultivars of switchgrass. b. evaluate establishment, growth, basic feedstock composition (cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin) and biomass yields of each cultivar. c. evaluate the fate of irrigated nutrients, contaminants and pathogens when irrigated onto switchgrass, soybean and corn. d. conduct an economic analysis comparing switchgrass production to a corn/soybean rotation.

Accordingly, an economic analysis has been completed for year one (the establishment year for switchgrass).

Forty acres of switchgrass, 160 acres of corn and 120 acres of soybean were seeded into a 320 acre high productivity field located in northeast McLean County. Switchgrass was sowed into 12 – 3.3 acre plots using four varieties replicated 3 times without vegetative boundaries around each plot, thereby making one continuous 40 acre field of switchgrass.

The following is a summary of the economic data collected during year one of switchgrass establishment. The corn and soybeans were planted using no-till cultivation with a no-till John Deere® model 1770, 24 row, 30 inch planter. The switchgrass was planted with a Brillion® seeder.

The corn was planted in April with herbicide applications in April and May. Nitrogen was side dressed (150 lbs of actual N as Anhydrous Ammonia) in May. The herbicide application consisted of Lexan (3.4 pints:acre) plus Durango (10 oz:acre) and 2, 4-D (6 oz:acre) applied in April, and a second application of Durango (24 oz:acre) applied in May. Aztec Insecticide was applied to 40 acres in April. During January, 36 – 92 – 120 fertilizer was applied as a broad cast followed by 150 pounds of nitrogen as Anhydrous Ammonia as a side dress in May. Corn was planted at a population rate of 33,400 kernals:acre. Harvest occurred in October and yield in bushels:acre was adjusted to 15% moisture producing 186 bushels:acre.

290 May 2011 • theshowcircuit.com

Soybeans were planted in June with herbicide applications preand post- planting. Soybeans were planted at a population rate of 118,000 seeds:acre. Durango herbicide (18 oz:acre) and 2, 4-D (8 oz:acre) were applied in April. Two post-emergence applications of Durango (20 oz:acre, each application) occurred in June and July. Harvest occurred in October and yield in bushels:acre was adjusted to 13% moisture producing 50.6 bushels:acre. However, because these were seed soybeans the seed company provided a guarantee of 58 bushel:acre. Therefore, calculation of income:acre is based on 58 bushel:acre yield.

Switchgrass was planted May 27 and 28 at a rate of 9.5 pounds:acre. Operation practices were as follows: • May 1, mow corn stalks prior to secondary tillage • May 18 and 21, field cultivate twice • May 21, cultipack once • May 27 and 28, plant with Brillion® seeder • July 15, mow to 8 inch height to control weeds • July 27, apply 2, 4-D (1 pint:acre) • August 3, mow to 8 inch height to control foxtail Costs for field operations were taken from the University of Illinois Machinery Cost Estimates published in the April 2010 Farm Business Management www.farmdoc.uiuc.edu. Prevailing local rent ($:acre) of $205:acre was used and the source was McLean County Extension, Average Land Rent for McLean County.

The cost:acre, income:acre and net return:acre for corn, soybean and switchgrass production for the first year of production was calculated using actual production costs. The accompanying table compares the profit/loss per acre for producing corn, soybean and switchgrass during the first year of establishing switchgrass. Soybeans generated more dollars in net return per acre ($331.46) than corn ($274.84) but both corn and soybeans far exceeded switchgrass in net return:acre. There was insufficient switchgrass growth to harvest and still provide sufficient vegetation to prevent winter kill. Therefore, there was no return per acre for switchgrass during the first year of establishment. This suggests that the $452.49 cost:acre to establish switchgrass must be recovered during the second year of production or should be amoritorized over several years of future production. Assuming interest on debt is 4% and the cost of establishing switchgrass in year one is amortized over 4 years; each of the first four years of switchgrass harvest must pay $124.66:acre of the cost of establishing the stand in addition to other annual costs of production/ harvest/marketing. Assuming capital recovery over four years at 4% interest the cost per acre to establish switchgrass on this forty acres is $498.63 (establishment cost plus interest).

Using the $124.66:acre actual cost to establish switchgrass we can estimate the return per acre for years two, three and four; assuming the cost to mow switchgrass is $18:acre and the cost to bale 1,500 pound switchgrass bales is $12:bale. The cost of production per acre when harvesting 3 ton, 4 ton, 6 ton or 8 ton of switchgrass is $190.66, $206.66, $238.66 or $270.61, respectively. The break even cost per ton to produce switchgrass is estimated at $63.55, $51.67, $39.78 or $33.83 when the yields are 3 ton, 4 ton, 6 ton or 8 ton:acre. For 1,500 pound big round or big square bales these values correspond to $47.66 (3T:ac), $38.75 (4T:ac), $29.83 (6T:ac) or $25.37 (8T:ac) per bale cost of production, assuming FOB in the field (i.e. no charge for hauling is included). If 1,500 pound switchgrass bales sell for $40 each, producing 3T:ac loses $30.64 per acre; 4T:ac nets $6.67 per acre; 6T:ac nets $81.36 per acre; and 8T:ac nets $156.05 per acre. Currently big round hay bales are selling for

$40:bale or $50:ton in the McLean County, Illinois area. Switchgrass production on high fertility soil does not appear to compete with either corn or soybean production. In order to return the same net dollars per acre as soybean ($331.46) or corn ($274.84) Table 2 shows the estimated (predicted) value for switchgrass per ton. Even at 8 ton:acre yield switchgrass must receive $18.19 to $24.26 per ton more than for what grass hay is currently selling.

As this study continues it will be interesting to observe if actual production yields, costs, sales and net return for switchgrass exceed the projections that are based on actual establishment costs.

No government subsidy or support payments have been used for any of the economic calculations. I am doubtful if switchgrass production as a biomass crop for energy conversion (without government subsidy or funding support) on high fertility soils will ever economically compete with either corn or soybean production.

hat Are You Really Producing?

Job titles are a funny thing. The older we get, the farther up the ladder we climb, the more distorted our job titles tend to become. I started thinking about this over the last several months as I updated my resume, email signature, and business card.

What exactly is it I do for a living?

I used to simply say I was a “farm broadcaster.” But then, as I spent more and more time writing and working with television and social media, the title wasn’t quite sufficient.

Then, when I left radio and television entirely to become a writer and podcaster, that title didn’t seem to fit at all anymore.

“So what exactly do I call myself?” I wondered…

Journalist? True, I do write news articles for various websites and publications, and I do so objectively as a journalist.

But, I reminded myself, I also write a fair bit of opinion/editorial for publications like The Show Circuit, so that didn’t quite fit either.

The entire mental exercise reminded of a big push in the agriculture industry when I first started in the communication business several years ago. Someone decided we couldn’t be called farmers or ranchers anymore.

Do you remember when that effort started? Someone somewhere decided that we should be “producers” or “growers,” rather than farmers or ranchers.

From a marketing standpoint, I can understand the concept. Farmers and ranchers are quaint people who chew wheat

straw and wear bib overalls. Producers are scientific-minded business people who provide a safe, wholesome food supply.

In the same vein, we stopped raising cattle or hogs and started producing beef or pork. For some, remembering what it is we produce is actually a useful shift in paradigm. If I’m a cow calf producer, I’m not thinking about the consumer sitting down to eat a tasty steak, I’m worried about the backgrounder who buys my calves. If we all remember that each of us in the food chain is producing food, we tend to make better decisions that benefit the consumer, and ultimately benefit all of us in the supply chain.

So now we have a problem. On one hand, remembering what we produce is especially important, especially for those of us heavily involved in livestock exhibition. In our case, we must remember we are raising a show animal that will someday end up as beef on a consumer’s plate. How we feed and handle our animals has a profound effect on the quality of the end product.

On the other hand, consumers stopped caring about our “sound science” a long time ago. The biggest four-letter word in agriculture over the past ten years is “factory farm.” By thinking of ourselves as producers, we forgot that consumers still love and respect farmers and ranchers.

Consumers trust farmers and ranchers. They don’t trust “...consumers still “producers” and their “giant faclove and respect tory mega-farms.” farms and ranchSo as you head to the barn ers. Consumers tonight to do chores, stop and trust farmers and think for a moment about who ranchers.” you are and what you are really — ANDY VANCE producing.

alexander

Name: Kayla Alexander Birthdate: February 16, 1989 Breeds you show: Angus, Maine-Anjou, Chianina, Crossbred, and Hereford Siblings: Cameron Alexander Favorite activities outside the show ring: I love the show ring, but in my spare time I enjoy spending time in the barn with the animals, spending time with my family, reading, traveling, and volunteering.

Favorite color: Purple Favorite movie/TV Show: My favorite TV show is The Bachelor, and my favorite movie is Eat, Pray, Love.

Favorite singer: Reba McEntire Favorite book/author: My all time favorite book is Eat, Pray, Love, but my favorite author is Nicholas Sparks.

Pet peeve: selfishness Names of your current show calf: Snookie What’s your favorite stock show and why? To be honest, I am torn between the American Royal, the North American, and National Western. I love these shows just because you not only get the opportunity to see people from all over the country, rare breeds of cattle you don’t see every day, but it is also fun to see the school groups come through and talk to the little kids about the cows or the sheep, whatever we may have there.

What do you want to be when you grow up? I am an Organizational Leadership Major in college, and I would love to work with non-profit agriculture organizations planning events and fundraisers.

What quality/skill do you have that you’re most proud of? I am a people person, and when I am working with people I pride myself on my ability to relate with that person.

Favorite subject in school: When I was in high school it was English, more to the reading side. Now that I am in college, it is my Leadership classes.

Would you rather dance, play cards, or hula hoop? Well, it depends. I have played a lot of cards at a lot of shows, I love to hula hoop (it’s a great workout), and dancing is a really good relaxer.

Early bird or night owl? Early bird One weird habit/skill/fact about you: I hate to wear shoes, and I graduated from modeling school.

Favorite stock show memory so far: I have a lot of really awesome memories from shows.The one that stands out right now and is the most recent was when I earned Supreme Heifer at The Rumble at Roberts (Ohio BEST show) with my Hereford heifer, Snookie. My second favorite was when I made it to the sale at the American Royal with my lamb, MJ. Least favorite show-day task? Tearing down afterward.

Most embarrassing stock show moment? I was exhibiting an Angus heifer at the Big East Youth Jackpot show for a friend. The heifer won her class, and I pulled the heifer out for the judge to talk her, and she stepped on my boot and when I went to pull her forward off of it I lost my balance and fell on my rear. Thankfully the heifer was extremely tame and stopped and looked at me with a look of amazement as if to say, “what are you doing down there?” The best part was she never moved other than to step off my foot, and she stayed set up.

National Western, because there is so much to do and also so much prestige when you win a show like that.

What do you want to be when you grow up? Lawyer Favorite subject in school: History Would you rather dance, play cards, or hula hoop? Play cards Early bird or night owl? Night owl One weird habit/skill/fact about you: I’m so superstitious that I have to show with the same stick every time I show.

Favorite stock show memory so far: Winning the Ohio State Fair heifer show Least favorite show-day task? Breaking a calf down.

Most embarrassing stock show moment? Dropping my show stick while walking my calf at Lima in front of everyone.

Tabasco has the added power and bone, loads of hair and is unbelievable sound structured. He is probably one of the best Proud Jazz bulls we have seen in a long time. Whether you want champion steers and show heifers, this bull has what it takes! If using a new bull is in your plans for this breeding season, here is one of the bulls you definitely need to consider.

The word “breeding tool” is the term used by many across the country to describe this Char cross bull. He is TH and PHA Free and sired by the outcross bull, Who Too and his dam is a Maine female out of DJ Hunk. To top it off, several semen companies and many customers have said he is one of the best smoky bulls they have seen in a long time. We are selling semen across the country on this bull already. He is surely a cow changer. Loads of hair, bone and a great disposition are just a few of the qualities to describe Uncle Kracker. Try him on char cows. He is bred by John Adams.

Here’s what breeders are saying, “The Cyrus calves we have on the ground are the most consistent, stoutest Hereford sire group I have ever had.” “This bull is definitely going to sire show steers and show heifers consistently.”

Every year we strive to find a select group of bulls that fit the needs of as many club calf producers as possible. Sometimes a bull comes along and it’s not very often but looks to be an absolute breed changer. Fast Freddy blew us away right from the first time we laid eyes on him and still today continues to impress us! He was an absolute crowd pleaser in Denver 2011 drawing a lot of appreciation for how REAL he is! With a mother backing him that has produced close to $300,000 worth of progeny, this bull is a sure shot to produce consistently. If you are looking for muscle... stoutness... bone... hair...good necked.... SOUND genetics which is what is essential in this game, he puts all those things together in one spectacular package! This Heat wave son is sure to be used on a wide variety of females and we recommend breeding him similar to his sire for the best results. If you want to sell the high dollar prospects it starts at the pasture so be sure to add him to your list of bulls to use. Your competition already has.

Wow! Talk about a cool lookin’ dude! He may be “young” but he will definitely make you some “Money”. This is by far one of the neatest Eye Candy sons to surface all year and we are pleased to say we not only raised him but now have the opportunity to promote him along with his other owners. If you like them chubby, big topped, cool colored and as shaggy as Justin Bieber’s haircut this bull is what you have been waiting for. His mother is a shorthorn powerhouse that has been a “no miss” female in terms of production. We expect great things from this young prospect and will definitely be looking for progeny to sell sired by him.

Nasty Habit

Sire: Eye Candy Dam: Bounty Hunter x Angus BW: 90 lbs. • BD: March 16, 2009 • THC/PHAF • Semen: $25 Nasty Habit seems to be living up to all the hype he had in Denver 2010. We’ve had many phone calls on this young sire telling us how good his calves have been thus far. He seems to be working on a wide variety of cows adding a ton of hair, bone, thickness, and style to burn. There are so many good parts to Nasty Habit, it’s hard to put a hole in him. Order semen early, it is going fast!

Salty Dog

Sire: Hired Man Dam: Kiss & Tell (Heat Seeker x 3C Sturdy) BW: 90 lbs. • BD: February 2, 2009 • THC/PHAF • Semen: $25 Owned with: Harvey Cattle Company • Wes Richardson • Jason Headon

Calf reports have been awesome ~ they are hairy, they are stout, they have lots of bone and lots of vigor. What more could you ask for? Salty Dog is truly one of the biggest boned, biggest topped, hairiest bulls we seen in a long time. He offers added base width and doesn’t sacrifice any structure that would normally accompany a bull with this much raw power. If you have seen this awesome sire in person, you know exactly what we are talking about.

STYLE - MATERNAL ABILITY - COW FAMILY POWER

• Who Made Who continues to be a force in the club calf producing world. These long standing, industry changing genetics are continually producing some of the business’s most successful females.

• On the dam’s side, his highly proclaimed Touchstone granddam, produced one of the most popular Angus steers ever in club calf history, winning the Iowa Beef Expo, Angus Jr. National and the Iowa State Fair champion banners. She was as impressive as any Angus cow - there are few like her today!

• The influence of POISON ARROW on the powerful Maine influenced females at Duello Cattle Co. is eagerly anticipated. This exciting bull calf is no “middle of the road” bull. If you want to change a set of cows, this bull has all the right traits and the punch to get it done!

• POISON ARROW is super extended through his neck and front, big backed, great topped and has the ideal rib shape. He should work excellent to generate club calf producing daughters on a set of cows needing added style, quality and shape, with a cool outline!

Purebred - Pure Power . with the Look!

• Wide Open, popular Denver display bull in 2011, is one of the most unique PB Simmental sires to come onto the scene in recent history. While in Denver 2010, he was a high seller and was named Bull Calf Champion on the hill.

• His fresh genetics, power and athleticism made him a favorite among purebred breeders and club calf producers alike. His sire, Foreman, produced the top selling bull in Denver 2011. Wide Open’s pedigree traces to X339U on the top and bottom, plus Black Irish Kansas, Black Mick and 600U...maternal legends.

• If you are looking to inject some maternal power into your cowherd without sacrificing eye appeal and performance, Wide Open is an absolute must use bull.
