Greetings, As bad as I hate to say it, fall is slipping by us pretty fast and we all know what is next. That’s right the “W” word. I’m not real sure, but I’m pretty sure, that my body and mind are physically and mentally protesting the cold snow and ice. As I travel the night before I need to have this greeting finished, all I have had, that I felt was good enough to write about, is the two steaks and an Iowa chop that I prepared for myself. The steaks were bought at the Anita Locker. I’m not sure where Pam gets them, but they are darn sure the best rib-eyes I can get. My preparation is not

a big secret. I smoke them for a little while then crank up the heat for a short time. My seasoning is not a big secret, either, I use butt rub on everything. Then, every once in awhile, we will pick up the pace and use some exotic seasoning, but then we go right back to the butt rub. According to my family, I can cook a pretty mean steak. I’m not sure if it is the free meal that they like or that the steaks are, in fact, really good, but I will take any compliment I can get. Plus, they keep coming back. I must be doing okay. On to the Iowa chop. How is it they say it on Rush Limbaugh, “ditto.” It is prepared just like the steak. Before any of you get all cranky about the breed, it is what I had access to. If anybody wants to provide any other breed for the same price, I am interested. Certified Berkshire was the breed. The big boys told me if you know where it came from and how it has been cared for after it is cut up, you can darn sure eat pork medium rare. This pork chop was almost bark at the moon good, and it was medium rare. I don’t know if I need a disclaimer with that last part, but I know where mine came from and I know how it was handled. The big news of the month is Maxwell Michael Eisbach has come into our family on October 9th. Maxwell is the son of Mandi & Brian Eisbach and is under the superb care of my granddaughter and Maxwell’s big sister Isabelle. As always please keep our service men and women in your thoughts and prayers, our freedom depends on them. God Bless

Female ON THE
YardleYCattle Company
Billy the Kid did not disappoint. This was his second breeding season and he sired a group of calves second to none. They are big bodied, stout made, and there just isn’t any throw a ways in them. They exhibit a soft made, easy doing look that is popular in everyone’s cow base. Billy the Kid was a member of Grindstone Creek Farms Pen of Three in Denver 2011. He has quickly earned a place in our Herd sire pen. We featured four of his daughters in our open heifer division of our Focus on the Female sale. They brought $4,000, $4,000, $4,700, and $8,200. His bull calves are equally impressive with performance and power. This is the type of bull where there are no throwaways. Use with confidence.

Years ago, farmers were injured or killed when they tried to unplug small round balers when the hay would bind up and not feed, but they never went into the bale. Recently, in northern Wyoming, a farmer went to the field to find a tractor and large baler still running with the operator no where in sight. When the farmer tripped the baler to dump the bale, he found the 25 year old operator of the machine was in the bale, dead. The farmer said the operator was apparently sucked in the baler while trying to unplug the machine. Very sad.

A renowned freelance photographer, working for National Geographic Magazine, was briefly arrested for trespassing shortly after he took aerial photos while flying over a large Garden City, Kansas feedlot. He and his pilot were flying in a paraglider, which is an inflatable wing supporting a small engine to run a propeller, two passengers, and three small wheels. They paid a $270 fine and were released. An employee of the ranch noticed the glider circling above the feedlot and also noticed an unknown vehicle parked on the ranches’ property. While the photographer’s goal was to take pictures for an article, it could have been a person releasing material to adversely affect the health of the animals. Thus, property owners should be aware when they see unknown persons flying low over their property. They may not be flying over to take a picture of your farmstead or headquarters. They may not be preparing to spray crops. They might be taking pictures to get you in trouble with some government agency or doing something to effect your livestock or property adversely. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. It is so sad that important businesses can be tied up in court for so long, like they are these days. I’m thinking about the New Mexico horse slaughter plant and the Canadian XL pipeline running to the Texas Gulf. The horse slaughter plant has been trying to open for a year and half while a plant in Sigourney, Iowa has given up on ever opening. The federal judge in New Mexico has made the plaintiffs put up $10 million to pay the horse plant for lost time should she decide to allow the plant to go ahead. With these delays, the value of all but the very best horses has gone down to almost zero. Horse owners are in an impossible situation. With higher feed costs, in most cases, it costs more to keep a horse than they are worth per year. As horses get old and are no longer useful, the cost of putting them to sleep and burying them is very expensive. The situation with the pipeline is very different. In the west half of North Dakota oil wells are being drilled as fast as possible and unemployment is the lowest of any state. The same is true in Alberta, Canada. Not only would construction of the pipeline add jobs, there would be more work at both ends of the pipeline, mining on the north end and refining on the south end. I was in favor of moving the pipeline out around the Oglala Aquifer in Nebraska, but now with the new route in place, there is no good reason to hold construction up any longer. This delay has been going on for five years. Sad. If this is coffee, please bring me some tea, but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.

An eastern Iowa farm couple were doing chores when they noticed some of their cows were missing and the gate behind them was not quite in the right position. Next they did a very smart thing, they checked their security video. With these videos they went to the local sheriff and together they were able to identify the thief, who had taken 18 head of cattle valued at $30,000 dollars. The sheriff quickly located the cattle penned at a local livestock auction and within hours they were returned to their rightful owner. I don’t know what their security video cost, but I will find out and report to you in this column at a later date. Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves. A couple months ago, in this publication, I told about all the hours I spent running a foot driven corn cutter and my desire to find one and buy it. Well, my new best friend, Brian Shults, Toulon, Illinois found one. He called me about it and went to the farm auction and put in the last bid for me. I am anxious to see it and meet Brian. It’s not that I want to spend very much time running the cutter, but I want to be able to show visitors to our farm how my father kept fat cattle from chocking on a ear of corn by cutting the ears into 2 inch lengths. When I get it here to our farm and ready to display, I’ll take a picture of it and you’ll see it in this column too. When you have got an elephant by the hind leg, and he is trying to run away, it’s best to let him run. Once again all this months quotes are those of our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln. Since this recipe was introduced at the Iowa State Fair in 2006, it has gained more popularity with fairgoers each year. It is easy to make and you can enjoy the same “sundaes” at home. HOT BEEF “SUNDAES” Total Recipe Time: 15 to 20 minutes Makes 4 servings Ingredients: 1 pkg. (17 ounces) refrigerated fully-cooked beef tips with gravy 1 pkg. (24 ounces) refrigerated mashed potatoes Toppings: Shredded cheddar cheese Sour cream Cherry or grape tomatoes Instructions: Using an ice cream scoop, place 2 scoops (about 1/3 cup each) of mashed potatoes in each of 4 individual sundae cups or serving bowls. Divide beef tips evenly over potatoes in each dish. Sprinkle with cheese and top with dollop of sour cream, as desired. Place 1 tomato in center of each serving for “a cherry” on top. Note: Actually, one of the fast food outfits introduced a similar dish earlier, but they discontinued it. I remember trying it in one of their establishments. n

Feed Efficiency Report by Evan Rayl
Are Brahman-influenced cattle more or less efficient than English breeds? Results of one study from the University of Florida suggests that it depends on how you measure it. Researchers evaluated efficiency among 581 calves of six breed types, including full-blood Angus and full-blood Brahman, and combinations ranging from 3⁄4 Angus – 1⁄4 Brahman, 5/8 Angus – 3/8 Brahman, 1⁄2 Angus - 1⁄2 Brahman and 1⁄4 Angus – 3⁄4 Brahman. The researchers weaned the calves, preconditioned them for three to six weeks, and then measured individual feed intake and gain through a 70-day feeding period. They calculated residual feed intake or RFI, which is the difference between actual and expected intake, along with the typical feed-per-gain ratio. As the fraction of Brahman increased the researchers found that feed intake was lower, weight gain was lower, RFI or feed conversion to measure it. The authors note that the discrepancy suggests a need for further research. Read the abstract of the report from the Journal of Animal Science. The problem isn’t Brahman cattle, it’s RFI. It’s not accurate!!!!!” Feed conversion and cost of gain are. n

Wait! Don’t Turn Out Those Old Show Heifers Just Yet!
Old show heifers, just may be the greatest tool with which to teach a youngster how to clip and fit! While doing our McCullough Fitting Clinics, we are often asked how a child can get better at clipping and fitting. At clinics, we can teach the proper techniques of clipping, the reason why you remove the hair and leave the hair in the places we do, but unless they actually get the clippers in their hands and practice, they won’t become great at it. Think of the great athletes. They spend countless hours practicing for an event. Michael Jorden, Shawn Johnson, Peyton Manning, Mia Hamm, Michael Phelps, Charles Barkley, and Brett Favre, to name just a few, did not play their first game or event ever and had never practiced. They spent countless hours practicing to be the best they could be. This is the same with showing, clipping, and fitting cattle. The more you get comfortable with the feel of the clippers in your hand, the comb, and show stick, the better you will be. Another question we get asked is, what age is a good time to start? Well, just like any other sport, the sooner you start the better you will be. Sure Madison, Age 6, Clipping Sassy there will be some MAJOR screw ups, and that is part of it. This is why the old show cattle need to be kept around to practice on! We even, in the past, have broke 5 or 6 replacement heifers, for Erin and Cody to clip on, so they, and “WE” don’t have to worry, about them messing up on the cattle they are actually showing that year. As for learning how to fit, the more they do it, the better they will get. Our children were able to practice on the show cattle they were showing for the year, they just had to make

sure to oil and wash the glue out afterwards, then apply oil such as final bloom or revive to the places they glued, in order to keep the hide from getting dried out. At first, the clippers were not used until they had the right idea of what the leg should look like and where the hair needed to come off. Working along side of a great fitter is a perfect way to be able to develop a young person’s skills. This works as long as the fitter will let them work along side of them, and the child will respond to constructive criticism. God has blessed us all with skills that He wants us to use for His Glory. Our job is to look at what we or our children are interested in, and help them become the best they can be. All athletes set goals and focus on developing their skills. I remember back on my 4H years and when starting out a new year, I would set goals on what I wanted to accomplish that year, and what I wanted to see myself get better at. If you do this, then you will be challenging yourself to work harder, and push, to become something better. Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.” 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 NIV “Do your best and let God do the Rest” Chuck and Karen McCullough, McCullough Fitting Clinics.

We have one, beautiful, purebred Corgi male pup, and 8 beautiful Border Collie pups born 10/03/13 for sale they will be ready to go the very end of November. There are 4 beautiful females which are black and white and 4 males. One of the male pups are red and white and then the other three are merle color. Our female, Puzzle, comes out of great working lines that have competed at dog trials at the Iowa State Fair and the Denver Stock Show. Puzzle is a very loving dog that is great with the kids and cattle. She is one of the main dogs we use for herding on the farm. Dallas is the daddy of these pups and he is a merle that is very good with the kids also. These pups will be up to date on their shots and wormings. If you are interested and want to see more pictures you can visit our website: www.maineaimranchdogs.com.
It all starts here! If you have a toddler in your house and barn, then you probable need one of these. Pictured above is Madison when she was 2, she is now 7 and still plays with her stuffed cows just about everyday. This is a great way to start your child in a long show career. You don't have to worry about them getting stepped on, or run over. Like Chuck and I teach, the more practice you get the better you will be at clipping, fitting and showing. This will teach them how to comb, hold the halter, walk into a set up pose and transfer hands, hold a show stick, and get a BLADE-LESS clipper in there hand to be comfortable with the feel. Madison has since moved up to showing Mini Herefords and her and her little brother, Drew, will always hold a special place in their hearts for their stuffed cows. For this reason, this fall, Karla Sulser and I started sewing these ourselves and are ready for Christmas orders. Check out our website for pricing and the different kinds of colors we sell. If you have a custom calf that you have showed and want us to duplicate it, send us a picture and we will see what we can do. If you have any questions call 641-344-5548 or www.maineaimranch.com
New McCullough DVDs • Filmed 2013 • First High Definition First ever video filmed with the “Chuck Cam” (Head Camera) These videos are the first of their kind. Chuck has been equipped with a high definition head camera that captures the footage as you would see it first hand. It is as if you were actually the one doing the work. We feel that we have a way of explaining the “how to’s” of the business, that hasn’t been duplicated. We break down the process so that it makes sense to everyone on every level. This is what we take pride in. This is the most extensive video on the market. To purchase a copy of your own go to www.maineaimranch.com we take paypal, or email us and we will send you a copy.

Commentary
Cattle are Ruminants by Evan Rayl
Most cattlemen will say they are feeding cattle. But that statement is not exactly true. Fact is, they are feeding bacteria in the stomachs of cattle, who in turn feed the cattle. They know cattle have four stomachs and these stomachs are large. In a mature cow, those four stomachs are about the size of a 40 gallon barrel. Most cattlemen know these four stomachs have a system allowing for the digestion of grass, legumes, hay, and even weeds. But this is about all cattlemen know about the stomachs of the cattle they feed. Cattle, sheep, and goats all have large stomachs and tongues plus lower teeth only. These three species make up about 90% of the ruminants in the world. Other ruminants are deer, giraffes, camels, lamas, antelope, bison and wildebeest. Only 40 percent of the land in the world is suitable for crops, but 60 percent is only suitable to be grazed by ruminants. However, most cattlemen can’t name all four stomachs of their cattle not alone spell their names, which are the Rumen, Reticulum, Omasum, and Abumasum. These stomachs are full of billions of bacteria working to convert grain, forages, and protein into beef. More about what each of these stomachs and what bacteria do later. Besides grain, forages and protein, cattle will eat a multitude of other things. The list is almost endless, but most of these products are outdated or mishandled in some way. Some examples of these would be candy bars, marshmellows, gummy worms, bread, breakfast food, cookies, potatoes, potato chips, taco shells, french fries, cranberries, hot chocolate mix, and etc. Some city do-gooder people think these things will raise the carbs and sugar in the meat from cattle. Totally wrong, the bacteria are at work again and the meat is just the same as usual. Cattle will even go so far as to consume their own manure. Thirtyforty years ago, a good friend of mine, Sam B. Hay, Jr. from Georgia, the son of a Presbyterian minister (he and I both built and poured concrete silos back then and we roomed together at silo meetings), along with Dr. Anthony from Auburn University developed rations where as much as forty percent of cattle feed would be recycled manure. Mixed with silage, hay, and grain, then recycled through a air-tight silo for at least 21 days, this ration would extract more feed value out of the manure. A ration such as this would lower feed cost for finishing cattle by 15 to 20 percent. Eventually, these two fellows discovered that that the waste on the floor of a broiler chicken building (manure and bedding) could be scraped up after the chickens were harvested, put in a silo to ferment and fed to stock cows in the winter. Eventually the government managed to discourage these feeding activities. But I must mention, my good friend Sam, cooked me a steak back in the day from a steer that

had been fed manure plus other more respectable feed products and it was one of the best steaks I had ever eaten! Now, here’s how the ruminant stomachs work: In the first two chambers, the rumen and the reticulum, the food is mixed with saliva and separates into layers of solid and liquid material. Solids clump together to form the cud or bolus. The cud is then regurgitated and chewed to completely mix it with saliva and to break down the particle size. Fiber, especially cellulose and hemi-cellulose, is primarily broken down into the three volatile fatty acids (VFA), acetic acid, proprionic acid, and butyric acid, in these chambers by microbes (mostly bacteria as well as some protozoa, fungi, and yeast). Protein and non-structural carbohydrate (pectin, sugars, and starches) are also fermented. Even though the rumen and reticulum have different names they represent the same functional space as digesta can move back and forth between them. Together these chambers are called the reticulorumen. The degraded digesta, which is now in the lower liquid part of the reticulorumen, then passes into the next chamber, the omasum, where water and many of the inorganic mineral elements are absorbed into the blood stream. After this the digesta is moved to the true stomach, the abomasum. The abomasum is the direct equivalent of the monogastric stomach (for example that of the human or pig), and digesta is digested here in much the same way. Digesta is finally moved into the small intestine, where the digestion and absorption of nutrients occurs. Microbes produced in the reticulorumen are also digested in the small intestine. Fermentation continues in the large intestine in the same way as in the reticulorumen. Only small amounts of glucose are absorbed from dietary carbohydrates. Most dietary carbohydrates are fermented into VFAs in the rumen. The glucose needed as energy for the brain and for lactose and milk fat in milk production, as well as other uses, comes from non-sugar sources such as the VFA propionate, glycerol, lactate and protein. The VFA propionate is used for around 70% of the glucose and glycogen produced and protein for another 20% (50% under starvation conditions). It is interesting to note the acidity in a human or pig runs pH 1 to 5, whereas, the alkalinity in a ruminant is best if it is above pH 6.2. Also note the word “ruminant” comes from the Latin word uminare, which means “to chew over again.” Additionally ruminants have continuously growing teeth throughout life partly because silica content in forage causes abrasion of teeth and also the chewing of cud causes extra wear as long as they live. To take the place of upper teeth there is a thick dental pad to thoroughly chew plant based food. I would be remiss if I didn’t add one last section to this article that is closely related. At cattle schools at the Purina Research Farm near St. Louis part of the school is a visit to the Large Animal Metabolism Unit allowing one to truly understand that when one is feeding cattle they are feeding the bacteria. First a staff member opens a fistula in the side of the stomach of a Holstein steer and with his rubber gloved hand, removes a sample of the contents, and closes the fistula. Then a slide with a little bit of the liquid is prepared and placed under a microscope. This microscope is connected to a screen showing what can be seen with the microscope. Millions of bacteria can be seen swimming around at high speed. Plus a pH reading is taken of the sample with it reading 6.5 to 6.7. Then a very light acid is then added to the sample under the microscope a drop at a time. When the pH drops below 6.2 the bacteria start to die and 2 or 3 drops later they are all dead. The very same thing happens when cattle get sick. Thus, one wants to feed cattle so the pH stays above 6.2. This was absolutely the most educational demonstration I’ve ever seen. It allows one to really understand how cattle feeding works. *pH noun Chemistry: A figure expressing the acidity or alkalinity of a solution on a logarithmic scale on which 7 is neutral, lower values are more acid, and higher values more alkaline. n

niece, Isabelle, completely won over her Aunt Heidi!!! Someone asked her how she liked her new baby brother and she said, “It’s good because I get to spend more time with Aunt Heidi!” Have I mentioned this month how incredibly intelligent and beautiful my niece is for loving her Aunt!!!
