L etter From the Editor
REMEMBERING MINDA WITT Ususally I dedicate this column to what is in the issue, but this time I want to take the time to remember someone very dear to me, and someone who was very influencial in the Boer goat and market goat industries in Colorado. Minda Witt, of Witt's Rio Vista in Lamar, Colorado, passed away on November 21, 2017. She was one of my very first supporters when I started The Show Wether nearly three ago. She always encouraged me to pursue my dreams, and helped to hand out magazines at shows and sales. She was also a big supporter of youth, and took many exhibitors under her wing and showed them how to feed and fit their wethers. Thank you Minda for all of your support, and selfless dedication to the goat industry. May you Rest in Peace. Sincerely,
Robyn Carlson, M.Agr - Editor

PREPARING YOUR TRAILER FOR SHOWS

Having your trailer cleaned out and prepared before a show can make a big difference when it comes to stress.

SET UP YOUR TRAILER BEFORE YOUR HAUL Y
our trailer is one of your most important pieces of equipment when it comes to showing your wethers, and making sure your trailer is prepared and packed correctly is essential to having a successful show. Transport System Setup There are several different types of trailers and transport systems on the market, including bumper pull trailers, gooseneck trailers, slide-in totes and even dog crates. All of these types of systems should be washed and disinfected in between each show. It can be time consuming, but animals can bring back disease or fungus, and it can live on the surfaces of the trailer. Using a pressure washer or a hose with a sprayer attachment works best, along with a scrub brush and some disinfectant. The sides, floor and any panels in the back of the trailer should be scrubbed and disinfected, and then washed out and left to dry. If you are hauling with a trailer, it needs to be inspected a couple of days before the show. This includes the tires and wiring. With tires, you want to make sure there is no cracking or uneven wearing. The tire pressure should also be checked, and tires filled as needed. You should also carry with you a spare tire, and make sure it is in good condition. You should know where your tire jack and tools are in case you need
to change a flat, and you should make sure they are in a place that can be easily accessed. Hazards triangles can also be helpful to carry for safety. The wiring should be plugged into the truck and the running lights, turn signals and brake lights should all be checked, even if you only plan on hauling during the day. Any problems should be addressed immediately. Once the trailer is hooked up, make sure to check that the right size ball hitch is being used, and that the hitch is latched. The safety chains or cables should be checked as well to make sure

they are properly attached. If using a tote or a crate, make sure the system is strapped down so that it cannot move in the back of the vehicle. Even big, heavy totes can slide unless they are made to custom fit your truck. Bedding Most trailers have some sort of nonslick flooring, but if your trailer or tote does not, it is best to put down a thick rubber mat. Animals in a trailer can slide or slip, and preventing injury from occurring is key. A rubber mat also makes the ride more comfortable for the wethers, especially in older trailers that may not ride as smooth as newer trailers. A half-inch mat is usually sufficient.

The trailer should then be bedded with either shavings or straw. A thick layer is best to keep the animals comfortable, and warm in the winter. Shavings are generally better to bed with, since it does not become as slick when moisture gets into it. Straw also tends to get dirtier faster. If the shavings are really fine, they can be wetted down to keep the dust down, if you are traveling in warm weather. If it is very cold out, it is best to skip this step so that you do not get the wethers wet from the shavings. Ventilation Having proper ventilation in a trailer is essential to keeping your wethers healthy. You do not need anything

fancy, but having proper airflow can help prevent respiratory problems. Small vents on the side, or trailers that have open sides higher up (as most horse trailers have), work very well. Many trailers also have roof vents that can be opened. It may be tempting to shut all ventilation in the winter months to keep animals warm, but that can cause health problems. Keeping the trailer clean, so that ammonia from urine does not build up, is also important in keeping animals healthy. Packing After many years of showing and several trips with forgotten items, most families have their packing and prepping system figured out. Before you start packing your trailer, make a list of all of the items that you need, and separate that list by what the items are needed for, such as feed or show supplies.
door of the trailer or in the back seat (if there is room) so you can get to it quickly. Loading Livestock Loading your wethers in a calm, gentle matter is important in keeping stress down, for both the animals and for you. Animals should be loaded last, right before you are ready to leave. Depending on how long of a haul you have, the less time they can spend in the trailer, the better. They should be led in the trailer, and then any collars or halters that are on the wethers should be removed. Wethers should never be tied in a trailer. If they were to slide or flip around, they could accidentally hang themselves, and you would never know until you reached your next stop. After the wethers are loaded, make sure to double-check all doors and latches before you hit the road.
Large items should be packed first, such as fitting stands, blowers and show boxes. These items should also be strapped down so that they do not fall over and open, or crush more fragile items in the trailer. If your show box has a lock on it, it is best to lock it when it is in the trailer. Smaller items such as fans, buckets and feed pans should be packed around the larger items. It can be helpful to put each item in the same area of the trailer for each trip, so that it can easier to recognize when something is missing. Pack the items that you will need first when you get to the show last, so that they are easy to access. Items such as show clothes, suitcases and food should be packed near the
A tote in the back of a truck is also a great way to haul your wethers. It should be strapped down and a mat used in the bed. 9 - The Show Wether

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A SCRAPIE TAG?
Story by Crystal Emsoff
O
ne question every lamb and goat exhibitor needs to be prepared to answer in a showmanship class is, “What is the scrapie tag for?” When you purchase your wether, regardless if it is a sheep or goat, it should have a scrapie tag in one of its ears. These tags can be identified by the USDA shield printed on the top, and will say “Unlawful to remove” at the bottom. Indeed, it is against the law to cut one of these tags out. But why? Scrapie is a disease affecting sheep and goats that deteriorates the central nervous system. It is caused by a prion, which is a protein even smaller than a virus. Scrapie is classified as a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE). Another TSE, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) made headlines a few years ago as “Mad Cow Disease.” TSEs get their name from the sponge-like holes the disease leaves in the brain. Scrapie cause incoordination, weight loss, lip smacking and severe itching, leading
to a sheep rubbing or scraping off their wool, hence the name scrapie. Though the incubation period ranges from two to six years, affected animals always die within one to six months after the onset of symptoms. While sheep are the most commonly affected animals, goats are susceptible as well. It cannot be spread to humans, but has historically caused significant economic losses. Scrapie is believed to spread from infected mothers to offspring through the placental tissues and fluids at birth. Because of the long incubation period, ewes or does can be carriers, spreading the disease for years, unbeknownst to their owners. This made the disease difficult to control before concerted, nationwide efforts were made to eradicate it. In 2001, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) initiated the National Scrapie Eradication Program to eliminate scrapie from this country. At the time, there was no live animal test to identify infected animals. The only way to diagnose carrier animals was to examine the brain tissue, which, for obvious reasons, could not be done on a live animal. For this reason, the goal was to cull from the national flock any animal that was even exposed to scrapie, regardless if it was showing symptoms or not. This often meant entire flocks were euthanized. Thankfully, there is now an approved live animal test, so healthy

animals do not have to be destroyed. This is where the official scrapie tag comes into play. Scrapie tags have two different numbers on them. The first number, usually preceded by a state abbreviation followed by numbers, is the premises identification number. This number is unique to the land where the animal was born. The second number is the individual identification number, unique to each animal. When an animal is determined to have scrapie, the federal government will use the premises ID number to trace that animal back to its flock of origin, and more specifically, the land where the animal was born. If a breeder moves, even within the same county, they should apply for a new scrapie tag premise identification number. Breeders are responsible for keeping records on all sheep and goats they sell. This is important so that any other animals that were sold from the same farm can be located as well, as they were also possibly exposed to the disease. A major breakthrough in the effort to eradicate scrapie came in the 1990s, when scientists discovered that some sheep are genetically resistant to scrapie. An affordable test utilizing a blood or ear tissue sample can determine if a sheep is resistant to scrapie and if it can pass this resistance on to its offspring. The genetics can get a little complicated and will be a topic for another article, but the discovery was a major breakthrough, giving producers an invaluable tool in their effort to eliminate scrapie from our country.
Luckily for those showing wethers, it is not vital to have a thorough understanding of the genetic susceptibility to scrapie. Wethers are usually harvested long before the two to six year incubation period ends, and they will not be birthing, and therefore will not be spreading the disease via placentas or birthing fluids. However, it is important to be aware of the scrapie tagging requirements, which vary by state. Some states require only animals over 18 months to be tagged before moving off their premises of origin. Others require all animals be tagged prior to exhibition, while others require all sheep and goats to have an official ear tag prior to moving off their premises of origin. Many states allow an animal to have either a scrapie tag or a permenant tattoo, if it is a registered animal.
The first number, usually preceded by a state abbreviation followed by numbers, is the premises identification number. The second number is the individual identification number. 13 - The Show Wether
Be sure to check the requirements of the state where you purchase your wether, where you reside and where you will be showing to make sure your wether is in compliance. When it doubt, simply request that the wether be tagged with an official scrapie tag if it does not already have one. You will notice that most major shows require a health certificate, and the premise identification number, as well as the individual scrapie number, is included on the health certificate. State requirements can be found here: http://www.eradicatescrapie.org/ State%20ID%20Requirements.html The good news is that all these efforts, from tagging to culling to genetic
testing, have been successful. No sheep have tested positive since April 2016 and no positive goats have been identified since 2015. It is still too soon to claim scrapie free status, but we are well on our way. An important side note for breeders, tags have historically been provided to producers free of charge by the USDA. The plastic tags will no longer be provided, but can still be purchased privately. If you do not have a current premise identification number, you will need to obtain one through your state's veterinarian office before you order your tags. Free metal tags will still be available.
