now in Arizona? Record breaking amounts of snow and rain hit Arizona January 21-24, 2010. It just so happened that the snow storm hit the same time as the USTRC’s Arizona Championships. Despite the severe weather conditions, which ultimately lead to roads being closed, the show went on.

Dennis Lines of Pima, Arizona thoroughly enjoyed the event as he and his partners won well over $9,350 in cash, four trophy Martin saddles and $14,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings.

“This was really a good roping. It was cold and slushy outside, but it was good

inside the arena,” said Lines. “We live about 70 miles away and it was just raining at our house, but when we got about 20 miles away from the Casino there in Globe it turned to snow.” The 55 year-old heeler began by winning the Century Bonus of the Gold Plus division with Armon Pearson. “Armon and I rope together a lot,” said Lines, who is the Public Works Director for the town of Pima. “He just lives about a mile and a half away and so we enter together all the time and practice together when we can.”

From there he entered the #12 Division with Bart Judd and they placed fifth in the Main Average by catching four steers in 46.78 seconds. The win earned them a Regional Finals Shoot-Out worth $2,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. “I roped a leg on our last steer and that took us out of the big money, but it was nice to get a ShootOut,” added Lines.

In the #11 Division, Lines was back roping with Pearson and they really turned up the heat. They caught four steers in 32.63 seconds and ended up first place in the Main Average. The victory gave them $4,368, trophy Martin saddles and a National Finals Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. “I won my first USTRC saddle some years back and this was my second,” said Lines. “It was good to win it with Armon and he was as excited as I was.”

Lines continued his winning ways in the #10 Division where he teamed up with Steven Alder. The pair caught four steers in 38.54 seconds and took first place in the Average. They won $4,690, trophy Martin saddles and National Shoot-Outs worth $3,000 each in USTRC Flex Earnings.

“Steven and I rope together a little. He lives in Pima too, but he just started roping not too long ago,” said Lines. “This was certainly his first USTRC saddle and it might have even been his first USTRC

roping. He was extremely excited and I was proud to win with him.”

Although the snow, cold and rain dampened the ground, it didn’t dampen the spirit of USTRC team ropers. They braved the bad weather and enjoyed the unique opportunity to load up on USTRC National and Regional Shoot-Outs. Thus is life, you never know how the cards will fall, so you have to be ready for anything.

Competitorial S

pring is finally in the air….and it’s about time. Seems like it came a little too late for the Arizona Championships, which was pretty much a disaster as a result of an Arizona snowstorm that kept everyone from being able to make the trip to San Carlos….That was a lot of snow! Yes, it’s been a tough spring in Arizona and New Mexico for sure, but the air definitely has a hint of springtime in it and makes you feel like loading up and heading down the road.

I had a lot of feedback from last month’s article about the World Series and their attempt to establish their own classification system. Most of it was in the form of puzzlement by team ropers as to why Denny Gentry, who established the USTRC and sold it a few years ago, would turn around and start a new association and try to establish a new classification system.

Needless to say, most of the speculation was not flattering toward Denny, with the general conclusion being that is was… “about the money, stupid” ...but then it usually is.

It’s not hard to figure it out. When you think about it, it makes perfect sense.

Denny already made a boatload of money by selling the USTRC….or several boatloads….and so why not do it again?

The key is, he has to have something to sell, and the only way to do that is to have an organization with a membership….and the only way to build a membership…..well, you can see where this goes….a

classification system is born.

I think it’s probably a tough sell to most ropers who are already strapped by the current economic conditions and don’t want to have to buy a membership, but it’s not the common roper that the World Series events wants to attract. World Series is openly marketed as an organization for “Elite” ropers….and by “elite,” it really means, “wealthy.” Look, it’s no secret that the average demographic of team ropers has shifted significantly over the last decade or so to include a subset of wealthy ropers, and it’s this group that the World Series is geared to cater to. Buying an extra membership is not going to be a deterring factor for this group. All that is required is for Denny to convince them “they need it”, and a new classification system is the obvious vehicle to accomplish that goal.

I’m not going to get into the argument about the quality of the World Series classification system because I have no idea what quality measures are in place.

But with the limited membership the organization has, it can’t be that difficult.

As with all upstart classification systems over the past 15 years or so, you simply ask, “What’s your current USTRC classification?’ …and your off and running. A couple of guys go over the list and make subjective alterations based on some loosely defined…or more than likely…. undefined criteria. It’s the same

way Denny did it in the early years of the USTRC. Who’s winning too much, not enough, who’s a good-ole-boy, and of course the most important….How much do they spend at my events?

To be clear, this is not to bash World Series events. I think they offer a unique product that’s pretty appealing on many levels. World Series events provide an alternative format, that I personally like. I do however, have concerns about how these events will impact the overall dynamic of the sport.

The team roping industry is relatively fragile, and despite the growing involvement of the roping “elite”, the foundation of the sport rests on the participation of those guys who have jobs and work for a living….and find a way to rope on the side. These are the heart and soul of the team roping world, upon the backs of which, the entire industry was built. They are crucial to the future of the sport, and without them, team roping would surely die on the vine. Elitist ropers are an equally important part of the dynamic. They provide the bulk of the critical ingredient that has kept the sport expanding…..MONEY! It is the infusion of dollars by these wealthy ropers, that in many cases trickles down and keeps team roping viable for the working class.

Certainly I don’t have a crystal ball, and no one knows for sure what will happen, but I think it’s potentially

problematic for the entire sport if the infusion of cash that comes from the elitist ropers, is separated out of the trough from which all ropers feed....But I could be wrong.

Finally, a couple of personal “Atta boys” for performances this past month. The first one to my nephew, Reed Davis, who won his first saddle…Reed is six! The second goes out to Carl Sweazea, who at just fourteen, won the truck at the “Free Truck Roping” in Queen Creek. It was just a few years ago that his dad, Kevin, accomplished the same thing at a Booger Barter event.

That apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

Stipes Brothers Win IPRA Team Roping World Championships See the Courtesy of Fastback Ropes Oklahoma brothers and Fast Back cowboys, Jesse and Casey Stipes, of Salina, Oklahoma, demonstrated the importance of consistency at the 40th Annual International Finals Rodeo, January 15-17, 2010 in Oklahoma City.

A 5.4-second run in the first round earned the team a paycheck of $2,083 per man. Team Stipes placed in the remaining go-rounds for an aggregate time of 25.4 on 4-head, resulting in an average win of $4,166 per roper. Total 2010 IFR earnings of $9,372 each secured Jesse and Casey first place in the world standings with a comfortable lead.

“We were both third in the standings before it started so we really ran at the first two steers,” explains Casey. “After we got them down and were doing well in the average, we decided to get the last two caught and it paid off. We’re looking forward to going again in 2010 and making some PRCA rodeos as well.”

Animal Agriculture and Responsible Antibiotic Use Dying from a bee sting...........1 in 6 million

By Alyn M. McClure, DVM with Herd Health Management, LP

R

ecently, CBS News producers created a special report on the use of antibiotics in livestock production. The piece, reported by Evening News anchor Katie Couric, is not a factual representation of the scientific, safe and careful use of antibiotics in animal agriculture.

My lifetime of experience in animal agriculture makes their report seem to me biased and misleading. My parents who migrated from family farms in Oregon raised us in a small Southern California community with chickens and rabbits for meat and eggs. I worked my way through high school and college on farms and fruit orchards, a 12,000 head beef feedlot, and a university owned dairy and milk processing plant. Professionally I have worked for 36 years with dairies, feedlots, cattle and sheep ranchers in 12 states in the U.S. and in Mexico.

Without exception I have found these owners and managers to be very concerned about the ethical treatment and welfare of their animals including the responsible use of antibiotics. They have been interested in scientific and applied research, and have worked diligently to improve every aspect of herd health and implement management programs to prevent disease and minimize the need for the use of antibiotics.

Last week I was leaning against a fence post on a third-generation family dairy farm in Arizona pondering how I might respond to the CBS report since I’d gotten word they’d be airing a story on the subject.

While I was reflecting, I was watching cows returning from the milking parlor playfully loping back to their pen and rapidly placing their heads side by side through the self-locking stanchions to eat.

They were voraciously consuming a wellbalanced total mixed ration of locally grown forages, processed grains and agricultural by-products. They had just been calmly milked by caring professional milkers using state-of-the art milking equipment. These cows walk to and from their pen twice a day on dry, padded concrete walkways to be milked. They are bedded on clean, dry and comfortable bedding in open dry lots and under shades that protect them from the elements in the winter and cool them with water spray and fans in the summer. This family has implemented many technologies to now efficiently and humanely manage thousands of milk cows better than when they started with 40 cows years ago. These cows have never been fed antibiotics, and are only treated with antibiotics when needed to cure or prevent a bacterial infection to prevent pain, suffering and death, to enable these cows to achieve their potential to feed us and a starving world with safe, wholesome, and affordable food. That is how less than 1% of the U.S. population is involved in agriculture and can provide for the other 99% and have surplus to export to developing nations.

How are antibiotics used in animal agriculture? Besides treatment of an

Dying from a dog bite ..........1 in 18 million Acquiring resistant campylobacter from macrolide-treated swine resulting in treatment failure .................<1 in 53 million individual sick animal, after every possible effort has been made to successfully manage genetics, housing, environment, nutrition, feeding, vaccination and other herd or flock health practices, antibiotics may be used in feed or water to treat, control or prevent disease and to promote growth and feed efficiency. This use has been proven to improve animal health and welfare (less disease and mortality), improve growth and feed conversion (reduces bad bacteria; promotes good bacteria), and improve food safety.

In 1999, the Heidelberg Appeal Nederland Foundation, renowned for its unbiased scientific research, conducted a study on the effect of antibiotics used for growth promotion in food animals, and concluded that there was no conclusive evidence that their use contributed to human disease or compromised the efficacy of related antibiotics in human medicine.

I welcome open dialogue and evaluation of our agricultural production practices. It can only make us better. I do ask the evaluation to be scientific and objective, and the reporting to avoid sensationalism, hyperbole, and misleading statements aimed at inflaming opinion. The CBS News report is extremely critical of the use of antibiotics in agriculture, repeating the oftstated but unsupported assertion that there is an alarming rise in the incidence of antibiotic resistant bacteria among farm animals. I have not recognized this as a problem in 36 years of dairy practice.

Surveillance data regarding bacterial isolates from cattle by the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System does not support their claim either.

Opponents of antibiotic use in food animals claim that we don’t need antibacterials to produce meat and eggs, that their use has lead to a significant increase in antibiotic resistant bacterial infections in humans, and that their use reduces the effectiveness of human medicines. In 1999, the Heidelberg Appeal Nederland Foundation, renowned for its unbiased scientific research, conducted a study on the effect of antibiotics used for growth promotion in food animals, and concluded that there was no conclusive evidence that their use contributed to human disease or compromised the efficacy of related antibiotics in human medicine.

After growth promoting antibiotics were legislatively banned in food animals in Denmark in 1999 in an attempt to protect

public health from antibiotic resistance, there has been no reduction in the incidence of antibiotic-resistant hospital isolates in humans. In some cases resistance has increased and the incidence of some types of infections in humans has also increased. Unfortunately, disease and mortality have increased among animals, producing adverse animal welfare conditions. As a result, to treat the higher incidence of disease in animals in Denmark, it has been necessary to increase the use of antibiotics for therapeutic treatment in animals. The use of antibiotics in humans has also increased. The increased health costs and labor and the reduction in growth and feed conversion in pigs have resulted in increased production costs of $5.29 per pig.

Some purport that antibacterial-free farming makes food safer. The truth is that antibiotic use in food animals makes them healthier which makes our food safer.

Chickens raised without antibiotics are three times more likely to carry bacteria that can make people sick. When the EU phased out certain antibiotic uses there was no discernable improvement in food safety.

Food handling and preparation has a much greater impact on food safety. In the U.S., food-borne pathogens decreased by 15 to 49% from 1996 to 2001 following the implementation of the new FSIS/HACCP (Food Safety Inspection Service/Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) regulations. Proper food handling and cooking prevents human infection by foodborne pathogens.

Some bacteria are naturally resistant to certain antibiotics; others acquire resistance by genetic mutation over time; and some acquire resistance after exposure to an antibiotic used in human medicine or animal production. For a person to have an antibiotic treatment failure due to acquiring a foodborne bacterial disease from eating, for example, pork, the following things would have to happen: • The antibiotic would be used in the animal • The animal would have to develop a resistant bacterial strain • The resistant strain would have to survive through food processing/handling • The resistant strain would have to survive through food preparation • The resistant strain would have to transfer to the human • The resistant strain would have to colonize • The resistant strain would have to cause a disease • The antibiotic treatment would have to fail What is the probability of a person experiencing a treatment failure due to antibiotic use in swine? Here are some risk comparisons: Risk Comparison

Annual Probability

Being struck by lightening.......1 in 550,000

Acquiring resistant E. faecium from macrolide-treated swine resulting in treatment failure ................. <1 in 21 billion It’s easy for me to say that antibiotic resistant bacteria are not a problem when I haven’t personally experienced such an infection, but that’s meaningless to a person who has. It’s like trying to console a person who has been unable to find work for six months by informing them that the national unemployment rate is only 10%. In fact, while competing in high school athletics my daughter got a nasty skin infection on her leg caused by antibiotic resistant staphylococcal bacteria (MRSA).

A few months later my wife got a lip infection caused by the same type of bacteria. These infections did not come from animal agriculture nor did the antibiotic resistance. The resistance is real but many scientists believe the primary cause is misuse (over prescribing) of antibiotics in human medicine and/or failure of patients to complete the prescribed regimen.

Antibiotic use in animal agriculture is by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian using antibiotics approved by the FDA, having passed its stringent testing requirements for efficacy and safety (for animals, our food and the environment). All major industry associations have established prudent drug usage guidelines: the American Veterinary Medical Association, American Association of Bovine Practitioners, American Association of Swine Veterinarians, American Association of Avian Pathologists, National Chicken Council, National Pork Board, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, and others. These guidelines and FDA oversight insure that antibiotic use in food animals will protect animal health and welfare leading to production of safe, affordable and abundant food, critical to our U.S. food security.

Maintaining the health of U.S. herds and flocks requires agriculture producers and their veterinarians to have all approved safe and effective technologies, including animal health products, available to us. It would be a tragedy for misconceptions, misrepresentations or non-science based political agendas to deprive us of any valuable tools for preventing animal disease without substantial evidence of a benefit to human health.

outhern New Mexico has had its share of great team roping events and facilities throughout the years. Plenty of team ropers have cut their teeth on these events and there is a whole lot more to come since Sproul Arena has opened up its doors for ropers to come out and play.

Sproul Arena hosted an event at the end of 2009, but opened bck up at the beginning of February to start the season off right. The one day event hosted a #13 Slide for ropers to enjoy.

At the end of the day, the team of local Las Cruces, NM roper, Victor Perez IV teamed up with Cooper Wimberly who came down from Belen, NM to win the event. They captured four head of steers in 21.65 seconds to top the field of ropers and walk away with $2,400 in cash.

Both Perez and Wimberly placed again in the average. Perez won second place as well with JoDan S. Mirabal and Wimberly teamed up with Terry Bourbon to win the last hole in the average. In all, the roping was successful with ropers form all across the states converging on the arena for a chance to kick the season of right. A great payout, good times and warm Las Cruces sunshine!

My Cowboy Heroes Story and Photos Compliments of Jim Olson

The Code of the West

I

t seems that lately everywhere you look the “old” is “new” again; the “out” is “in” again. They say that sooner or later everything comes back into style; that it just seems to make a big ole cycle. Cowboys and cowgirls nowadays are wearing old fashioned looking clothes (with a modern twist of course) and long shaggy hair seems to be in again (mostly on men). Some car companies are making models that resemble the cars of days gone by and just about everyone in some way or another is sporting a latest fad that resembles a fad from the past. There is one thing however that never goes out of style. What I refer to is Old Fashioned Morals and Values. Here in the West we have our own saying for our values; cowboys and westerners for years and years have simply called it “The Code of the West.”

The Code of the West is an unwritten creed, code or set of values. It used to be commonly used by people everywhere, whether you were a cowboy in the Southwest or maybe a businessman in a big city, morals seemed more important to our country as a whole in the past. You were expected to do the right thing, whatever the situation may be. At times, doing the right thing is not always the easiest thing to do; especially if the majority of the crowd is not doing the right thing, but doing right will always be rewarding in some way or another.

You would be surprised how people will react when you stand up for what is right.

People in general know when something is wrong; they just don’t want to be the one to rock the boat. Sometimes it is a lonely feeling when you’re the only one who is standing up for what is right, but before long

others will join you, and when it is all said and done you will feel better about yourself for standing up for what is right. People will respect you for it also.

The Code of the West calls for us to help out where we can. We have all heard the old saying about the guy who would give you the shirt right off of his back if you needed it worse than he did. This person is somebody to look up to! In the long run this guy usually is rewarded for his efforts.

That isn’t why he did it though; he doesn’t help people out just looking for rewards but it usually seems to work out that way. The reward can sometimes be financial in one way or another or maybe it is just the satisfaction of seeing someone smile from within and giving you a big ole thanks. This type of reward lasts longer than a monetary one anyway and generally you will have made a friend for life.

The Code of the West doesn’t tolerate liars. There isn’t anybody who ever truly gets ahead by lying or cheating. They may have some short term gain, they may even think that they have gotten away with something, but in the end it never seems to work out. The truth is always easier than a lie; it may not seem like it at the time but people will respect the truth. Besides that, the truth is easier to remember. All of us have known people who lie. Some people tell little white lies for effect, or to make their stories better (like writers for example).

Other people are just blatant liars (like most politicians). But we know who these people are and we don’t believe them. Most of the time they don’t even realize how ridiculous they look standing there telling lies when everyone knows exactly what they are doing.

The worst part of it all is that even when they are telling the truth, people still tend to not believe them based on their previous

track record! A good reputation takes a life time to build but only a very short time to dismantle.

Cheaters are even worse. To fraud or cheat someone takes a person of very small moral character and no self worth. In business dealings with our fellow man we must hold ourselves to the highest of moral character. If you don’t, you won’t be doing business for very long. The customers or persons that we are dealing with expect a fair deal. Liars and cheats may think that they are pulling the wool over people’s eyes, but in the long run, it generally comes out into the open and they wind up being worse off than had they just done the right thing to start with. There is no short cut or substitute for hard honest work. This holds true weather you make your living with your head or your back. Remember that bad news spreads like wildfire, but good news spreads like molasses.

The Code of the West says that we should respect one another. Try giving out a “yes sir” or a “yes ma’am” once in a while and see what kind of results that you get. A simple “please” and “thank you” are easy words to say, but will give you a lot of mileage if you use them. Holding the door for somebody is not out of style or old fashioned either; especially for the ladies. I don’t know of any true lady no matter how modern, independent or down right liberated that she may be who does not enjoy having a door held open for her or a gentleman saying “after you ma’am.” Treat people as you would like to be treated yourself.

You can also respect people by not gossiping about them or by spreading lies about them. If you don’t know something to be fact, don’t say it. Even if it is a fact, use some tact. There is a proverb from Old Mexico that goes like this; “con la boca abierta, entre la mosca” this mean that when

ll-Around the mouth is open, the flies will enter. Think about that for a minute, it is a great analogy!

The Code of the West basically just boils down to doing the right thing. Two wrongs don’t make a right; it never has and never will! Just because someone else does something wrong, that doesn’t give you the green light to do the same. Don’t be like a bunch of sheep following each other around, learn to be the shepherd! Help each other out. Stand up for what is right! Don’t lower yourself to someone else’s standards. When you get into the habit of doing the right thing, it just comes natural after a while, before long it’s a no-brainer.

Your life will be so much better and simpler if you don’t have to worry about going around having to clean up your own messes. Setting a good example for others is important, especially setting a good example for the young ones. Most all of us have a youngster who looks up to us in one way or another. Aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, parents, teachers, lawmen and well just about everybody; your actions are being constantly watched. It is important to remember that we have an influence on that young person’s life; not to mention the lives of the rest of the world that we are around each and every day.

The Code of the West is still alive and strong however. I see fine examples of it every day in my travels. It does my heart good to see people treating each other with respect, standing up for what is right, and being a good example to others. In this day and age, so much bad news makes the headlines everywhere you look; I think that A the good news doesn’t get reported on enough. So I am calling on all of you out there to help me champion The Code of the West. Spread it around! Set a good example,

people are watching; live by “The Code.” I try my darndest to do so; and all of you out there who do so also…well, you are heroes!

nother month has come and gone and I have to say the dirt is still flying over the World Series of Team Roping new classification system. Ty Yost recently added his view to the mix, suggesting that any new classification system does nothing but hinder the sport in the long run. His views are particularly interesting as it brings the entire reason for classification into view and sheds light on how a new classification system can have a negative impact. In reflection to the response from the WS, Yost must have hit a sore spot.

Really, though, ropers just want to rope in most cases. They will pick what events are more appealing, what they can afford and enter up. It is the job of producers to continue to mix things up to keep the same old game of team roping sounding interesting. I believe that is one of the reasons for the new WS classification.

Everyone knows the USTRC has the

best system – hands down. There is no room for any type of unfair advantage with the USTRC. Sure, you may feel you are treated like a number, that is because you are a number and you fit into a large group of others with the same number. It’s called classification, and don’t think just because a new game is offering up something new, that you will be treated differently in the long run. In fact, if it is fair, there should not be anything different from one to the other. If there is, watch out!

I have more thoughts on the WS drama that I will hang onto for a while, but I have to say there is something even bigger out there that many ropers I believe are missing.

How about a Free Regional Shoot-Out! I don’t know about you, but it is really hard to earn a Regional Shoot-Out. You might get lucky and win one the first time

out this season, but you could also spend thousands of dollars to get yourself a Regional Shoot-Out or the equivalent in Flex earnings. So a free one sounds really good!

Did you know the USTRC is giving these away? Just for buying a 2010 membership you receive $1,000 in Flex earning, which equals out to a free Regional Shoot-Out. Think about this for a minute. Every roper is going to have a chance to rope at the USTRC Regional Finals this year. There is already a ton of money added to these events, but now there will be even more money with the additional entries, and you get one of them for free. Who would want to miss out?

Thanks for hanging with me this month and lending me a part of your time. Until next month remember – Dirt! Keep it under you Feet!

Roughstock events steal spotlight at New Mexico Stampede Top bucking stock from Classic Pro Rodeo and a world class field of competitors made the Jan. 29-30 New Mexico Stampede something special.

How special? Kaycee Feild and Jerad Schlegel tied for the bareback riding championship with a pair of 90-point rides – Feild on Classic Pro Rodeo’s Good Time Charlie and Schlegel on Classic’s Big Tex. In the saddle bronc riding, the title was shared by 2008 World Champion Cody Wright and 2009 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo average champion Shaun Stroh, each with scores of 83 points in a field with three past world champions.

Colorado native Jimmy Anderson, 22, surprised a field that included three Wrangler NFR qualifiers with a winning 88point ride on Classic Pro Rodeo’s Sweetness, three points better than Jason Beck and John Jacobs, who tied for second place.

ProRodeo Hall of Fame inductee Schumacher dead at 89 Jimmy Schumacher, the first rodeo barrelman to ply his trade with a barrel open at both ends and a member of the inaugural class of the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in 1979, died at a Las Vegas hospital Jan. 24. He was 89.

Schumacher, who grew up in Prescott, Ariz., began his rodeo career as a roughstock competitor. He won the bull riding at the Calgary (Alberta) Stampede in 1945 and also won the bareback riding event there twice.

After 15 years of competition, he gave it up to replace the “original barrelman” Jasbo Fulkerson who was killed in a truck accident.

Schumacher took the bottom out of the barrel as a means of escape and originated the first

‘walking barrel.’ He even had a patent on it, and it is on display at the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Schumacher was injured badly by a bull named Buster at the 1969 National Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma City when the bull picked up the barrel, with Schumacher in it, and tossed it over his head. Schumacher broke all the ribs on one side and one punctured his lung. The doctor told him he’d have to undergo surgery to remove the rib unless Schumacher could cough hard enough to dislodge it. He did what the doctor suggested, and he left the hospital the next week without surgery.

“You had to be able to bruise easy, but heal quick,” Schumacher said of his chosen occupation.

He began his career as a barrelman in 1948 and didn’t retire until 1972. He was hired by many of the top rodeos such as Madison Square Garden, Phoenix, Belle Fourche, S.D., Denver, Fort Worth and Houston, and was selected to work as the NFR barrelman nine times (1960, 1962-69).

After retirement, Schumacher did many things, but was known for working for various casinos, beginning at Binion’s, running the Big Six Wheel of Fortune. When he retired from the casino world, he and his wife, Alice, moved to Prescott, but said, “There were too many old people there. I was startin’ to walk like them,” so the consummate funnyman returned to Las Vegas.

Schumacher and Alice were married 56 years at the time of her death in February 2009. He is survived by two sons; Sid and Rodney; wife, Robin; and two grandsons, Adam and Sean, all of Las Vegas.

Schumacher was cremated and his ashes will be scattered on a favorite butte of his in Prescott, Ariz. Memorials should be made to the Justin Crisis Cowboy Fund in his name. www.prorodeo.com/justin_cowboy.aspx?xu=3

In Country TV Launches Broadcast schedule with Coverage of San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo In Country Television will launch its season-long coverage of Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association events at 8 p.m. ET March 6 when it airs the championship round of the $1 million San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo.

ICTV has assembled an all-star broadcast team, which will be comprised of six-time World Champion All-Around Cowboy Larry Mahan, ProRodeo Hall of Fame bullfighter Rob Smets, PRCA announcer Tim Fuller and former Miss Rodeo Virginia Charli Wacker.

In Country Television has signed a contract with the PRCA to air 30 hours of coverage in 2010, including all eight Gold rodeos on the Wrangler Million Dollar Tour, presented by Justin Boots.

ICTV, which reaches 32 million households through the DISH Network (channel 230) and Direct TV (channel 344), will also air coverage of the All American ProRodeo Finals in Waco, Texas, and the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo in Pocatello, Idaho.

ICTV’s rodeo coverage gets off to a dramatic start March 6 with San Antonio, one of only two PRCA regular-season rodeos offering more than $1 million in prize money, the five-time and reigning PRCA Large Indoor Rodeo of the Year and the richest event on the Wrangler Million Dollar Tour.

The Wrangler Million Dollar Tour is the centerpiece of the PRCA season, linking 22 of ProRodeo’s most prestigious events. There are two levels of competition, with those designated Gold

PBR CEO Randy Bernard Resigns

T

he Professional Bull Riders announced that Randy Bernard has resigned as CEO effective March 1 to accept a leadership position with the IRL. The Board of Directors of the PBR has initiated a process to select a replacement and has selected Mr. Rodd Granger, currently Chief Financial Officer of the PBR, to serve as interim CEO until a permanent successor has been identified.

Mr. Granger is part of the six-person senior management team that has been leading PBR alongside Randy over the last two years, with Sean Gleason, Chief Operating Officer, Kevin Camper, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, Dave Cordovano, Chief Global Events Officer and Jay Daugherty, Senior Vice President of Competition. Two of PBR’s founding A partners, Ty Murray and Cody Lambert, will continue to play integral executive and Board roles in PBR’s operations and the Rules & Regulations and Competition Committees. Randy Bernard will remain a significant shareholder of the PBR and will join Ty and Cody as active participants with the Board of Directors.

Bernard departs the PBR at a time when he and his management team are producing outstanding results. PBR’s Built Ford Tough Series regular-season attendance increased 12 percent in 2009, and ratings with television partner Versus increased nearly 30 percent last year. The PBR has been quick out of the chutes in 2010 with attendance up 23 percent in its first five weeks of competition. Tecate Light, Lincoln Electric and Bad Bad Boy Mowers are among the new sponsors to have joined the PBR family for 2010.

“The PBR has been my life for 15 years, and I am very proud of our accomplishments,” said Bernard. “I have learned the PBR is more than a sport, it’s a culture, a tradition mixed with modern entertainment with so many exciting elements, from the competition, the danger, to the athletes themselves, the toughness on both sides…the cowboy and the bull, but most importantly, I have learned what a great team around you can do. From the cowboys, stock contractors, sponsors, staff and board to our great fans, it has been a great ride, and I am very thankful to have so many great memories.” Randy’s final event with the PBR will be the Dickies Iron Cowboy Invitational, February 20 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

“The PBR family and Cowboy Nation wish Randy all the best in his new endeavor,” said PBR founder Ty Murray. “His leadership, dedication and endless work ethic have taken the PBR to heights we only dreamed of when we started back in 1995. This couldn’t have happened without Randy Bernard. He has put together an unbelievable team that will continue to grow and take our sport to new plateaus.

Tomorrow, Vold is returning to Penrose Hospital in Colorado Springs – where he had the surgery – to have doctors assess his progress and decide when he might be ready for a knee replacement surgery.

“It’s slow progress, but he’s doing well,” said Vold’s wife, Karen. “He’s come a long way in just the last few days. The surgery was to insert a medicated temporary block to deal with the infection. The doctors say he needs to be on the antibiotics for six weeks to clean up the knee before they can do a replacement.

“He had a knee replacement 18 years ago, and they said then that it would probably only last for 10. His knee was badly infected. The doctor said Harry is za very, very tough guy. He said most people Harry’s age (86) wouldn’t have survived this.”

Located in one of the most secluded and lush areas in Tucson, this ranch estate has been in the same family for more than 30 years and has just now become available. Professionally landscaped grounds surround the home with mature trees, rose gardens, extensive lighting, automatic irrigation and fruit orchards.

Proximity to shopping conveniences but extreme seclusion makes this home a unique opportunity.

There are endless horse trails to be explored but one doesn’t have to leave the house to watch the deer, javelina, hawks, owls, quail, fox and bobcats as this ranch provides water and refuge for these and many other native animals.

Upcoming Rodeos Cash Only in 2010! (Money orders and Cashier Checks accepted) Entries in our rodeos are taken

seriously. Call the Turnout number (505864-9426) if you must turnout of a rodeo for any reason including medical, emergency or vet release. (Vet release – barrel race ONLY.) You may not enter for 10 days if you vet or medical out and a release is due in the office within 7 days or entry fee and fine will be assessed.

Non-members must be paid 2 hours before start of rodeo. Non-members who turnout of a rodeo are assessed a $75 fine that will be used to purchase their 2009 NMRA card. NO Exceptions!

Contestants may draw out up to the closing of entries – After entries close you will be turning out and expected to pay fees.

Rodeos having first sanction with New Mexico will have a $13 CES/Finals Fund deducted from advertised fees and have a $20 Stock Charge also deducted from fees.

Bull riders have $10 day money added to fees as well!

Incentive team ropers must show current 2010 USTRC cards, or receipt that card was purchased, when paying fees or you will rope as an open team. There is no longer a number to call the USTRC to confirm numbers, therefore proof must be supplied when paying fees. No exceptions!

NMRA cards can be purchased on site at NMRA rodeos. Cards must be purchased before competing in order for money won to count for year end points.

Winter Blast at Buckeye Equestrian Center Welcome Winter Visitors to the great weather that Arizona normally has to offer you. You might have to put a sweatshirt and raincoat on but it’s better than down coats, fleece lined Carharts and thermal underwear! On January 10 a total of 165 riders entered up to run at a pay out of $5,797.00. Low entry fees and no late fees was added incentive.

The American West 4D Winter Blast was co-sanctioned with NBHA, NW5D and PacWest at the Buckeye Equestrian Center. Chuey did a great job on the ground as usual. Thanks to BEC and Chuey for helping make this race a great success.

Two great sponsors for the awards that were presented to the lucky winners were Lone Star Silversmiths who provided the beautiful buckles and Pro Rider for donating the saddle. Not to forget the AW4D organization provided the plaques as one of the prizes during the “card draw” for the grand pize saddle at the end of the show! Thank you one and all!

Borrowing a fun way to give out awards from our friends up in Utah, all the money winners picked a playing card for the new unopened deck and tore it in half. One half kept by that person and the other half put in a box. When all the cards had been given out, the Pee Wee riders began picking cards from the box until we got down to the last seven cards.

These seven were prize winners! The American West 4D plaques were awarded to Sydney Garcia, Betsy Nunn, Crystal Poteet, Lyndee Stairs and one other winner whose name was misplaced. The buckle winner was Roseanne Strobel, The lucky saddle winner was Oklahoma’s own, Michael Torturo! Congratulations everyone!

exactly one show. But I could give a decent set of reasons, which was fortunate because when you judged livestock as bad as I did there were many opportunities to justify your placings.

For those of you who’ve never judged on a livestock judging team, a contest is composed of several classes with four animals of similar species and kind which are placed in order of merit by experts. Then the kids have to try and place them in correct order and give reasons on some of the classes to justify their placings. job of the parents and the police to raise After I listened to four of the youngsters them. I do feel qualified to help, however, give their reasons the ag teacher asked me because I judged on an FFA team and what I thought and I proceeded to give the judged three years on my collegiate team. order in which I placed them.

I Sir, I place this class of kids 4-3-2-1 was a terrible judge which is one reason with an easy top, a tight middle pair and an why my judging career at county fairs lasted easy bottom. I placed the youngster dressed in an all-goth outfit, who I think was a girl, at the top of the class because she was the only who knew they were Angus and that they were bulls. Instead of giving reasons from memory like you are supposed to do she read from a lengthy manuscript. And because she was a vegan, and thought comparing the animals was immoral and judgmental, she recited a poem she’d written about soybeans being the key to world peace. I criticized her “poem” for not having any words that rhymed, but commended her for trying.

She also told me that having all bulls in the class was sexist. I had to cut her off after 15 minutes.

“dude” no less than 37 times. I found it disconcerting that the young juvenile delinquent was covered in tattoos, listened to his iPod the entire time he was giving his reasons, and his board shorts were ready to fall off at any minute. He referenced several terror movies and said the number three bull was, I believe, “kickin.” He called the scrawniest bull “phat” and his “two dangly things between his legs were rad.” He used more automotive terms than livestock ones, referring to the bulls “gearbox” several times.

I think his time would be better spent on the ag mechanics team.

I put the “valley girl” in third place because it pained me to look at all her body piercings. Especially the big silver globe in the middle of her tongue that bounced up and down like a basketball when she talked.

I criticized her for placing the class backwards, for chewing gum throughout her reasons, for using the terms “awesome” and “glam” excessively, and for taking a call on her cell phone while she was giving reasons.

The number 2 bull was her fave because “he looked like he had big steaks, a fluffy tail, and soft leather.” She also observed that the bull kicked really good but placed him down when he went to the bathroom right in front of her. G-R-O-S-S! Finally, I rolled the arrogant kid with the expensive sunglasses on top of his head to the bottom because he tried to text the goth girl to get her reasons. He acted like he knew more than I did, which was quite possible, but I did not appreciate it when he tried to bribe me for a better score. Come on dude, just 20 bucks? Surely I’m worth more than that! I predict this kid has an awesome future as a lobbyist or a politician, but as a livestock judge? No way, bro. www.LeePittsbooks.com

by Glenda Price March 2010 Dannie Cole Springfield, Oregon Dear Phillip, I was at a roping this weekend. I roped the steer, and before I could pull my slack, the steer tripped and fell. My rope was not tight; my heeler had backed off to make the corner.

We did not foul the steer or cause the steer to fall in any way. When the steer came back up, I dallied and turned off, my heeler than caught two feet. My question is, had I not turned the steer off, would, or should we have received the option for another steer?

Thanks for your opinion.

Dannie: No, you would not have received another run. This is the luck of the draw. The flagger or the team has no control over a steer that stumbles on their own. Maybe the ground had gotten deeper and the position you were in the go round or the rotation, may have contributed to the steer stumbling at that precise time. The main thing to remember is, “Never give up!” Always finish your run. Do not assume that because you pull up you will be granted a rerun. If you pull up before the run is over the flagger may believe you have stopped competing and can flag you out. Again Dannie; Always finish the run.

Hope this answers your question.

I Believe: “One Nation under God” Philip Murrah Pauls Valley, Oklahoma Thanks for the question Dannie. Wrangler will be sending you a certificate for a new pair of Jeans.

A Simple Invention an you guess what simple invention is considered one of the basic pieces of equipment involved in creating and spreading modern civilization?

I couldn’t.

It involves the horse…of course… and the saddle. Like most country kids, I learned to ride bareback. I still believe that’s how novice riders should begin because they learn to “feel” the horse and understand how he moves.

However, when the time comes to get some work done we put a saddle on the horse. I never paid much attention to that, until I learned about the specific parts of the saddle that made all the difference.

It’s the stirrups. Think about it. Without stirrups, riders – even excellent horsemen — are fairly easily unseated, so before stirrups were added to the saddles, warriors rode their horses to the battle, then either were unseated or jumped off and fought on foot.

A rider, standing in his stirrups, could deliver a blow with his lance or other weapon using the full power of himself and his horse.

With stirrups the rider could even wield a two-handed weapon (broadsword) or a lance with less fear of falling off his horse.

The first saddles were made in Asia, of wooden frames covered with felt, and they didn’t have stirrups. The Chinese figured out stirrups were a good deal, and they showed up on saddles across China by 477 AD. Apparently, the first stirrup was a single one, used to help the rider mount

C

up. The first documented representation of a rider with two paired stirrups is in a tomb dating from about 322 AD. Stirrups were adopted by horsemen of the Eurasian Steppes, and they reached Scandinavia early, but it wasn’t until the Middle Ages they showed up in Europe.

Lynn White Jr., in Medieval Technology and Social Change (1966) wrote, “Few inventions have been so simple as the stirrup, but few have had so catalytic an influence on history.”

White noted that we think of inventions as servants that solve problems we define.

He added, “We are much less comfortable with the unintended consequences,” referring to redefinition of European society with the landed gentry – horseback with stirrups on their saddles – dominating.

How many times have we tried out a simple new tool and thought, “Why didn’t I think of that?” So I’ve been thinking and checking out all the tools around my place, wondering if I could maybe invent something to make them more useful.

I’m wondering if it would be possible to invent a contraption that would grab a hammer and guide it away from my thumb if my aim is bad (which it always is).

How about a bridle that automatically adjusts itself to fit whatever horse you put it on? Or, speaking of stirrups, some that automatically adjust to the rider – even a little kid?

I’ll let you know if I come up with anything, but so far nothing I’ve thought up can change the world – darn it.

Black Mountain Feed Tops Ranch Rodeo Team Earns $2,500 And Bragging Rights

T

en teams of real ranch cowboys pooled their skills Jan. 30 in front of nearly 1,000 fun-loving fans at the Wickenburg Ranch Rodeo.

Experienced hands from Black Mountain Feed took the overall bragging rights home to Cave Creek, Ariz., after compiling more points throughout four individual events than any other. But honors were spread around in the cowboys’ different specialties.

Matt Sheiw made a spectacular 85-point showing in the Wild Horse Ride for the Spear X Ranch and helped his team sweep the Wild Cow Milking, too. The team penning was won by the M Diamond Ranch in less than one minute, while the Gillum Ranch won the double-tough double mugging in just 35.28 seconds.

Overall winners 1. Black Mountain Feed, 30 points, $2,500; 2. B Spear Ranch, 27.5, $2,000; 3. Gillum Ranch, 27, $1,200; 4/5. M Diamond and Spear X , 25 points each; $400 each.

Wild Horse Ride 1. Matt Sheiw, Spear X Ranch, 85 points; 2. Pat Tindall, Black Mountain Feed; 3. Ryan Manifee, Four Z Ranch.

Double Mugging 1. Gillum Ranch, 35.28 seconds; 2. Black Mountain Feed, 40.41; 3. Four Z Ranch, 43.53.

Team Penning 1. M Diamond Ranch, 53.19 seconds; 2. B Spear Ranch, 111.94; 3. Gillum Ranch, 113.94.

Wild Cow Milking 1. Spear X, 31.50 seconds; 2. Comancheros, 34.97; 3. M Diamond Ranch, 37.28.

Pat Tindall flashes a victory sign to his teammates from Black Mountain Feed during the Wild Horse Ride at the Wickenburg Ranch Rodeo.
