Beat the By Joel Judge
lows their gut to get back in order plus prevents them from drinking or eating so much they gorge themselves and subsequently develop a scour situation from a “sour gut”. If it is hot during this pulling of weight, make sure the animal is given plenty of electrolytes in their water to help them replenish lost nutrients.
I decided to focus on a subject that is more reflective of the time of year when the magazine comes out. I want to address caring for your animal during the fair especially during the summer months when it can be extremely hot and uncomfortable. Most beef cattle showmen are trying all summer to grow hair on their project, using fans, misters, cooling units, rinsing multiple times per day, etc. The goal is to keep the animal cool and comfortable which hopefully promotes a better hair coat and also a consistent appetite. The problem that occurs is when you take that animal from the home environment and go to the fair where it becomes hot and uncomfortable. This is compounded with steers, especially if they are hairy and we are trying to pull some weight, this becomes a real risk for dehydration and problems regaining any appetite.
The major problem of cattle getting over heated usually revolves around show day especially if the show is large in size or the show ring and makeup area is poorly ventilated. We usually have a “butt fan” near the fitting area and as soon as I can I will place it so that it blows on the animals head. This allows it to stay cooled down as much as possible and doesn’t affect the rest of the fitting process. It is very hard to use glue when you have a turbo fan right behind you. I will always have a spray bottle filled with absorbine liniment and another with alcohol; I really like using 99% alcohol for this. If the animal is hot before going in the ring or coming out, I will spray them with liniment and alcohol under their brisket, under their front legs at their chest floor and under their belly. This allows for rapid cooling as both products evaporate quickly and give that cool feeling. If you come out and they still can’t cool down, then you can use an ice pack from Sullivan’s that needs to be pre-frozen before you use it. You just strap it on their neck and it’s a great method in cooling them down when it’s extremely hot or your cattle are real hairy or both. If you are from Bakersfield or more specifically “Pumpkin Center”, then you also know the cheaper method that is just as effective. We will soak several towels in an ice chest and use them to wrap around the neck or also hold it on their brisket. You can also place that cool wet towel under the tail near the twist, but it needs to be “wrung out” so the water doesn’t affect your hair.
The first situation to address is the setup at fair time using fans and if available misters. There are many ways to arrange your fans; I think the most important is to create an air flow that can reach their heads not so much on the bodies. If you can keep their heads cooled down the rest of the animal can help stay cool as well. The optimum would be both air flow on their head and from behind on the body, but availability of power can reduce your options. Placing a mister on the fans is a great way to reduce that air temperature and keep a comfortable environment as long as it doesn’t create a large wet mess in your bedding. On those real hot days you need to offer cattle water several times per day so they can rehydrate and attempt to stay cooled down. This also regulates their gut and keeps them on feed. I don’t know anyone who prefers to drink less water or only twice per day on those especially hot days. If it is temps that seem extreme you may need to rinse your animal several times during the day to help them regulate that body temp.
I am sharing this because it is important for all of us as exhibitors to keep our animals cool and comfortable especially as we view showing livestock as a method to educate the public. When we travel to shows in the summer this is always a problem for our cattle, whether it’s a national junior show, California State Fair or our county fair. There are very few places that are cooler than San Luis Obispo in the summer and most are significantly warmer, so we have had to develop a plan to accommodate the adverse situations. If you have any good remedies or methods that you would like to share, please contact me at tristarcattle@ aol.com or call me at 805-234-7191.
If we are pulling weight on steers by holding water and feed for 12 hours or so prior to weigh in, we will gradually fill them back up after weighing. This means that I will water them every 1 -1/2 hours with ¼-1/2 bucket of water plus a ¼ of their normal ration and allow them to eat some hay such as grass or oat hay. This al-

June/July 2010
Mom's Memories:
Hatfield, the Rainmaker but not enough to do much good. At Christmas there was no green feed for the cattle and a lot of the water holes had dried up. It was dry all over the country.
One of the favorite tales told by my grandfather was about Hatfield the Rainmaker and the flood of 1916 in San Diego. Here is another of Mom’s Memories. — Kathleen Wood Vieira
“In 1916, the City of San Diego contracted with Charles Hatfield for $10,000 to set up his rain making equipment to do something to make it rain. I don’t know what he used. Maybe he was just a good predictor, but in January it started to rain and it just didn’t stop. Hardly a dam in the county that didn’t go out. Railroad bridges washed out.
Hatfield, the Rainmaker by Mary Ann Wiegand Wood
In 1915, the fall season in the coastal communities of Northern San Diego County had been dry and hot. It had been ideal for the harvest of barley and lima beans. Now that the harvest was completed, the farm families could relax and prepare for the end of harvest barbeque at the Olivenhain Hall. Beef was wrapped in clean muslin and then in wet gunny sacks and placed in a pit on a bed of red hot coals. The pit was covered with a sheet metal panels. The pit was covered with a layer of dirt which would not let the heat escape. At noon, the pit would be uncovered and the delicious beef ready to serve. Beans simmered in huge pots over wood fires; German sausages popped and sizzled in large skillets. Ripe red tomatoes, fresh off the vine were sliced and served on large platters. Pickles and olives preserved during the summer garnished the meat.
“Water came through the flat here at the home place. I had a few horses out in the flat, but they were pretty good swimmers and made it out. The cows were all on high ground, but the chicken house had six feet of water in it. We had an old sailor working for us and he said, ‘You could sail a battleship on that.’ “We had a lot of trouble with our dairy. Mud all over. We lost our dairy license because we couldn’t keep it clean. The county authorities came to the place and took my father to San Diego and were going to put him in jail if he didn’t clean it up. Mr. Haige from Haige’s Dairy who bought our milk and cream talked to the authorities and told them it was beyond our control. We sold our thirty dairy cows until we could rebuild.” Otay Dam, the water source for San Diego at that time, broke and only took 2 1/2 hours to empty itself of thirteen billion gallons. The water, on its seven mile course to the bay, swept nearly everything before it. Nothing remained of the neat ranches, the citrus groves or chicken farms.
It was a festive occasion, the highlight of the social season in the little community of Olivenhain. The men played horseshoes and the women visited, catching up on local happenings. Children ran at breakneck speed playing games like Run Sheep Run and Hide and Seek. In the evening, the Owls Club sponsored a dance and the Olivenhain Hall came alive with music.
Hatfield refused to stop his rain making activities, even after the rain would not stop. There were some mighty angry people. Farmers lost crops. Homes and buildings were washed away. People and animals drowned. One resident rescued by rowboat said, “Let’s pay Hatfield $100,000 to quit!”
The harvest of 1915 was bountiful and cause for celebration, but the coming rainy season, necessary for the next year’s crops and stored water supplies, was still a mystery. Who knew when the rains would come or what they held in store.
When the City of San Diego refused to respond to Hatfield’s claim for payment, he filed suit on December 16, 1916. Six months later he offered to settle for $1,800, a sum he said was less than the expenses he incurred in setting up his operation. The city agreed to settle if he assumed responsibility for the lawsuits amounting to $3,500,000 which had been filed against the city for the failure of the Otay Dam. No more was heard from him.
Rain was important to the farmers and citizens of San Diego County. There was no other source of water except rain to replenish the dams and grow the crops. My father, Herman Wiegand, a young farmer at that time, commented in his daily journal about the conditions of November 1915 and about Hatfield, the Rainmaker. “The hot dry Santa Ana wind was blowing and draining the moisture out of the brush and trees. It seemed a long time that it blew. Usually, after the Santa Ana the rain will move in, but no rain came. All of November was dry. A light rain came in December,
We Goofed!
My father told the story of Hatfield, the Rainmaker many times.

It's in the bag! By Rachelle Bailey As a pork producer and someone who judges junior hog shows throughout the year, I often ask one of the most important questions that is on the mind of a pork producer, “What are you feeding your hog?. I have gotten various answers throughout the years, anything from wheat to milk products to soybean to vitamins and minerals. Yes the diet of a market hog has many components, but the main ingredient in most cases is corn.
The hog-corn price ratio is simply the ration of the market hog price in dollars per 100 pounds to the price of corn in dollars per bushel. So, if hogs are selling at $50 per cwt and corn costs $2.50 bushel, the hog-corn price ratio is 20. History tells us that a hog-corn price ration of 20 or greater suggests that pork production will exceed year-earlier levels 12-28 months later. Conversely, a hog-corn price ratio of 16 or less suggests that pork production will fall below year-earlier levels in 12-18 months. Because of the increase of Ethanol production in the United States in the past few years, most producers have had an increase in grain costs.
The feed bill accounts for about 65-70% of the total cost to raise a market hog. Knowing what you’re paying for and what that hog needs to grow and perform is very important to any producer. Yes it is very important to become good feed managers and be aggressive in understanding what the grain markets are. Corn is the main ingredient in hog feed. Corn often is produced in the Corn Belt. The Corn Belt is located in the Midwestern United States. These states include: Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota and Missouri. The leading states in corn production include Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and Minnesota which, combined, generates more than half of the corn that is produced in the United States. Most corn that is produced is fed to poultry and hogs which accounts for about 40%.
Feed Tags Take a look at the feed tag that is provided with the bag that is purchased. If the feed is purchased in bulk a feed invoice can be provided from the mill. The tag will provide the following: weight range to be fed, active ingredients, Crude Fat Level, Crude Protein Level, Main Ingredients of Feed (listed in order) and withdrawal time.
Because such a large amount of corn is fed to hogs, most of the top corn producing states are also the top pork producing states. Iowa is the top pork producing state and usually is ranked 1 or 2 in corn production each year. Because corn is grown in these areas producers have grains more readily available to them. However, the West Coast states pay more for these grains because the grains are shipped usually by rail car to the West Coast.
Pay close attention to any special directions when using the feed or any feed additives. If the feed has any withdrawal times make sure to keep proper records on when the feed was used.
Feed Management Feed management is very important to any size of operation. Make sure you are feeding a fresh product that is formulated for the correct stage of production (weight). Because for each phase of production, the hog will require different rations that can be utilized specifically to that growing stage. For example, many hogs during the growing stage only require 18 percent protein but can be dropped down to 16 percent for the finishing stage of production.
Hog-Corn Price Ratio The hog-corn price ratio is a time-honored measure of pork production profitability, and, as such is a good predictor of future production levels. The reason it works is that feed represents 65-70 percent of the cost of producing a pig and corn, or a close substitute such as grain sorghum or barley, makes up about 60 percent of the total feed costs.
There are numerous sources to obtain feed for your project, remember to do your research and always ask questions. By providing your pig with the correct ration and fresh water, your animal is off to a healthy start. Remember next time you enter the showring understand: What’s in the Bag!

Long Live the Lamb Lady
September 22th-26th, 2010
Each weekday morning, I pass the time on my long commute to work catching up with the local news and current issues by turning into KPRL, the local Paso Robles radio station. Recently, the head DJ and owner of the station and a distinctive voice known as “The Lamb Lady” got into a discussion. He didn’t understand her; she didn’t understand him. I got both of them.
All steers base priced from $1000-$1500 All calves are guaranteed 100% to be sound and breakable.
Sires used:
Monopoly Heatseeker Hairy Bear Grizzly
The station owner objected to her frequent calls to the Saturday morning Country Store to sell her lambs and lamb meat. He said: Rules are rules, lady, no commercial enterprises. She said: I’m not a commercial enterprise. Long live the Lamb Lady! She’s a country girl just like me, embodying all things that get people into farming in the first place: the gamble of making the land productive, the thrill of watching life renew, the satisfaction of knowing that by your good stewardship, you produce a product that you can be proud of. Getting in the sheep business is easy. You can start with one ewe; she has few twins maybe triplets, and voila, you have a flock. But, from there on out, it’s all up hill. You have to put up with downright mean bucks, worry that dogs will chew up your flock and lambing season is a blur of long sleepless nights. Even if you produce the best lambs or the most delectable meat, people still have that big box store mentality. It’s tough to sell USA lamb when imported stuff is cheaper. It’s harder still to market your own meat locally. Now the Lamb Lady doesn’t consider herself a “commercial enterprise.” I’ll bet she isn’t. She enjoyed the country cycle of life and in the process, planned to have a few good cuts of meat for herself and her family. With a freezer, she could have tasty, grown-withlove lamb year round. I’m sure she hoped to make enough from selling the rest to buy hay and grain for her flock. She’d like to break even. Most American farmers faced with her same situation would echo that statement.
Reserve Champion FFA Steer, Glenn County Fair. Great job McCorkle Family!
The station owner banned her from calling in for a while claiming that she was the only one who people complained about. I understand that the radio station isn’t going to stay in business if it gives away advertising, but I found myself tuning into the Saturday show just to see if the Lamb Lady had the guts to call in, peddling her live lambs and freezers full of “USDA inspected, yummy roasts and chops.”

If you live the country life, someday, you might find your hobbies have gone wild. You could have an excess of _______(fill in the blanks with you favorite species: goat, pig, horse, tomato) and will need to market them. If you get into things too deep and need some effective local advertising, call KPRL, but be prepared to pay for it. If you need some “yummy” lamb chops, tune in Saturday mornings from 7-9, 1230 your radio dial and listen to the Country Store. Listen for the Lamb Lady!
