MIKE SORENSEN ~ SALES 641-745-7949 mike@livestockplusinc.com

Greetings, Is everybody ready for April to get here? I’m ready! I always thought the more mature generation complaining about how horrible it was to live in the cold was ridiculous. Well, guess what, I’m in that more mature generation and I understand now. Let’s finish up this winter with no more snow or very little and 28 – 30 degrees.

I think I had one of the best ribeye’s I have ever had. I got a SOS call from a good friend, and was asked to go to Aberdeen, South Dakota to work a sale. This is one of those trips that you don’t just get up early and head to Aberdeen, you have to have a night out at the Ramkota. Just so happens that the Ramkota has a Minerva’s attached. In that Minerva’s was a few adult beverages, some deadly appetizers, and best of all was one of the most flavorful, juiciest, tenderest, and seasoned to perfection ribeye steaks that I have ever had. My complements to the chef. Just to make sure this guy (chef) is real I’m going March 9th for the B&Bthat Equipment:Layout 1 for 9/19/12 10:28 AMback Page 1 Styles Plainview Angus sale and will try it again. Looking forward

4

to another great rib eye.

Next on my trail for great food, that I do not need, I landed in Norfolk, Nebraska at The Country Inn and attached to this motel is yet another great food establishment. The prime rib was highly recommended and it was a great piece of meat, but what was really great was the dessert. It is hard to describe but will give it a shot. A cookie that was cooked on this little skillet like pan that they served it in, then they put ice cream on the cookie, then chocolate and caramel, and then to top it all off, whip cream scattered on the top. The waitress assured me that this was on everybody’s diet. Never doubt a waitress!!

I spent the past week at the Iowa Winter Beef Expo and it used to be a big debate on where I/we would have our evening meal but as maturity has consumed me, when I get done at the expo for the day its usually straight to the motel and on the way to the motel is this large Hereford Steer and a Steak House called “The Big Steer.” The old saying, “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” comes into play here. I have eaten there for years and they have never let me down. If I wasn’t at a banquet, I was at the Big Steer. Steak Deburgo is my favorite. These little steaks are deadly and then you add the sweet potato casserole and it’s a meal fit for a king or at least me. Thanks to everyone at The Big Steer for your hospitality and great food.

In closing, the Iowa Winter Beef Expo is in the history books, there were record sales across the board.

Great cattle, great people, and a great time had by all. Nebraska Cattlemen’s Classic is next. It’s our hopes that they likewise have a record-breaking year.

Please keep all of our service folks in your thoughts and prayers our freedom depends on them.

GOD BLESS

More Pounds - More Profit !

Why Invest in a Frenzen Bull: • No Creep • Excellent selection • Reasonable selling prices • Free delivery in Nebraska • All bulls are AM, NH & CA Free • All bulls tested negative for PI - BVD • Complete Performance and ultrasound information • The fall bulls ran on grass this summer and fall. They are currently receiving a light ration while running on mature native grass.

• The yearling bulls run in large traps to ensure plenty of exercise.

• The Frenzen's have been in the seedstock business for over 50 years and have always rigidly culled for fertility, calving ease, performance, soundness and disposition • The yearling bulls are on a high distillers/high roughage ration designed to let the bulls express their genetic potential yet keep them hard muscled, athletic, sound in their feet and joints and increase their longevity.

These are not "corn fed" fat bulls.

Tag 514

At the recent Missouri Beef Summit on the University of Missouri campus at Columbia, Gov. Jay Nixon said his vision for the state’s beef industry was to feed out many more of the feeder calves produced in the state. Missouri ranks second to only Texas in feeder calf production. Currently less than 5 percent of the states 1.7 million head of feeder calves are finished within the state. Cattlemen in the state complain about mud in the feedlots and fescue in the pastures, but just plain transportation economics Selling... is a far bigger problem. It was never mentioned at the meeting.

10 fall show heifers Lack of a significant beef packing plant is Missouri’s biggest 3 fall bull calves problem of all. At this time, most of Missouri’s feeder calves, 2 spring yrlg heifers weighing 500-650 pounds, go west to western Kansas feed yards.

2 bred heifers Hauling weaning calves costs a whole lot less than transporting 12-1300 pound yearlings ready for slaughter. What little cattle are fed in Missouri are fed in the northwest corner of Missouri and 9-14-14 go up to Omaha, Nebraska where there are two kill plants. The sired by chances of a beef packing plant ever being built in Missouri are SAV Pioneer about as likely as the sun coming up in the west. A large speciality beef packing plant sits on the drawing board at Sioux City, Iowa, while the principles of this plant wait for cattle numbers to increase. Anyone who has watched the problems of reopening Iowa’s Tama plant understands how hard it would be to build a new one. Meanwhile, Missouri’s best chance for increased dollar volume from cattle is to improve the quality of the feeder cattle it 11-15-14 is raising. sired by OSU Currency

Every contrivance of man, every tool, every instrument, every utensil, every article designed for use, of each and every kind, evolved from a very simple beginning.

For the first time in many years, I was able to make it to the Iowa Beef Expo for two days this year with no chores to do. Thus, I was able to watch the Angus Show from beginning to the end.

The cattle showed a lot of quality in both the female and bull classes. For the first time ever, the same family showed the Grand Champion Bull, the Reserve Champion Bull, and the Reserve Junior Champion Bull, which allowed the three of them to be the first three bulls to sell in the sale. A special congratulations to the Jensen family, Cody, Cara, Cale and Callie, from Plainfield on this very special and rare accomplishment. Most likely, this is a record that will never be broken. The three bulls fetched $27,000 to average $9,000 each.

The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings.

While at the Iowa State Fairgrounds for the Angus Show and Sale, and looking for a place to park, I drove up over the hill by the Cultural Center and the Fairview Stage just west of it. The Stage is getting a rebuilding project. Today, I saw a drawing of what the stage will look like when it is completed and I said WOW. You will be shocked when you see it, too. All Iowa can be proud of their State Fair, the best in America. Oh, and by the way, have you ever been to the “Corndog Checkoff?” If you would like to experience a fun evening at the Fairgrounds and help the Fair out at the same time, you should be there. It will be Saturday night, July 11th. See you there.

Genuine beginnings begin within us, even when they are brought to our attention by external opportunities.

Usually, I don’t pay much attention to the cattle numbers "Little Bit" continued on pg 126

reports, but I can’t figure out how this years calf crop can be expected to be almost 2% greater than last year when last years beginning cow numbers were 1% less than the previous year. About all I know is this doesn’t make sense. A couple of things I do know, stock cows and calves have never been so high and it is impossible to rent pasture.

With the possible exception of the equator, everything begins somewhere.

Perhaps you have seen Shirley and I on “I Am Angus,” RFD-TV shortly after the first of the year and maybe not. Eric Grant, with the Angus Journal, suggested a filming while we were on the National Angus Tour in Montana a few years ago. His idea was to send along one of his people with a video camera to follow us as we made our way from our farm to Denver on the train for the Stock Show. So at the appointed time, Josh Commminellis showed up at our house and started shooting film within minutes. An hour later, we all left for the train station in Creston, IA. He rode with us on the over night trip on Amtrak to Denver for the Stock Show, shooting more film, then he followed us from the train station on the bus up to the Marriott where we left our bags(more film shot), and a short time later he he rode with us on the bus out to the Stock Show grounds(even more film shot). Also, along with us for the trip, was my Purina salesman, Kevin Sothman. After a 12 hour trip, Josh eventually reduced his film to 12 usable minutes to be shown 12 months later. In the meantime, Shirley and I have moved to Des Moines and Kevin is running our Registered Angus cattle operation at the farm. Plus, our 12 minutes of fame has come and gone. But, if you really want to see us going to Denver for the stock show, poke around on “I Am Angus” or by looking on Facebook.

I always say I get disgusted with Amtrak every time we make a train trip to Denver. They do something stupid with great regularity.

Little did we know that when we went out to Denver, we wouldn’t ride home from Denver on the train. West of Denver a rail on the track was broken, so we could wait for another 24 hours, or find another way home. We rented a car and got home four hours quicker, than if we had rode the train. Thanks for good roads. n

The cattle industry has lost a great one...

Phillip Lloyd Core, son of Lloyd Ellsworth and Dolores Mae (Loynachan) Core was born on March 17th, 1958 in Oskaloosa, Iowa.Phil attended Pleasantville Schools, graduating in 1976. While in school, he excelled in academics, sports, and FFA. He was named FFA Iowa Star Farmer in 1976 and was an Iowa State FFA Officer. He held the high-jump record at Pleasantville Schools for several years - those who met him later in life had a hard time believing this.

Phil graduated with a B.S. in Animal Science from Iowa State University in 1980. While at Iowa State he was on the Livestock Judging Team. He loved analyzing livestock and placed 2nd in the National Collegiate Livestock Judging Contest. He was a proud member of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity and had lifetime friends through this organization. An avid Iowa State fan, Phil enjoyed cheering on the Cyclones, especially Cyclone basketball games.

On August 30th, 1980, he married Ann Elizabeth Lang from Brooklyn, Iowa. They have two daughters, Lindsey Ann and Morgan Leigh. The family spent many hours working with their cattle, and together with his brother Mark and sister-in-law Deb built a nationally competitive Maine-Anjou operation, being awarded Premier Breeder from the American Maine-Anjou Association in 1997. Summer vacations were spent showing cattle at National Junior Shows around the country. Phil was a long time advisor for the Iowa Junior Maine-Anjou Association and also served on the Iowa and American Maine-Anjou Boards for many years.

Phil remained active in the Pleasantville community throughout his life, serving as President of the School Board and was a member of the Pleasantville FFA Alumni Association. He was a member of Pleasantville Disciples of Christ Church. Phil was a founding member of the Three Trees Club- a close-knit group of friends who grew up showing at the Marion County Fair and then years later watched all of their kids do the same.

This group’s love of the fair and its’ competitive youth livestock shows resulted in the sponsorship of the traveling trophies for Grand Champion Market Steer, Market Lamb, and Market Swine at the Marion County Fair.

Phil devoted his entire career to the livestock industry in various roles over the years including the Iowa Pork Producers Association, the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association, and McVean Trading. He was a cattle buyer for Monfort, JBS, and most recently Iowa Premium Beef. Phil enjoyed the opportunity to visit with producers and loved the game of trading livestock.

Family was very important to Phil. He loved attending his daughters’ games, livestock shows, plays, musicals, and contests over the years. He enjoyed teaching, coaching, encouraging, and especially spending the time to create memories with everyone.

Phil passed away on Wednesday, February 4th, 2015 from injuries sustained in an automobile accident at the age of 56 years.

•

Uncle Phill was one of the biggest intimidating men from the outside, that yet had the biggest heart full of love for his family and friends. One of the best at knowing the industry, one of the best at grilling beef and one of the best uncles, brother, father, and husband. Sometimes things happen too soon, far too fast for us to understand. I only know, the Lord promises strength and comfort. - Bailey Core

From the Tailgate, I hope that as you start to read this, you are taking a break from the calving barn, morning and or night chores and all is well with that. I can tell you that as I attempt to put word to paper this month, I too, am in between the PM calving pen checks and AM wide awake. So, as I said in last month’s article that I was in Denver at the Stock Show and would get back with all the great knowledge and wisdom I gained.

I must say that one of the common themes was the weather.

As it was one of the best weeks of weather during my time at the Stock Show. We all know that it is not always that way, but I am thankful that I was able to evaluate the cattle and talk to good friends without it being too cold or standing in a lot of snow.

Writing about this topic of weather makes me realize how much we as farmers and ranchers are so dependent on mother nature.

All the way from getting that new born on the ground healthy, then making sure we can get it to weaning time and beyond. So that is why we talk about the weather so much good or bad.

As for the cattle I saw, once again from breed to breed, it is good to see that the common goal for everyone is still trying to raise high quality, sound productive eye appealing cattle. That brings me to the subject of the different types of cattle that are at any show or sale across the country, not just at the Stock Show. I have always said and was told by some of the best cattlemen that if we all raised the same type of cattle we wouldn’t need a judge to evaluate them, HA! All kidding aside, we need to have different types and kinds of cattle in this country to meet the different environment we must work with as well as feed source we have available to us producers. So, as we talk about what type or kind of cattle we raise, it may not be the same as your fellow breeder, but it is the kind you can produce and sell at the highest value the market gives you. With that in mind, then why not raise the type and kind you can sell no matter what the other guy does.

As always, if anyone at LPI can assist you in merchandising your livestock just call or email. THANK YOU for your time! ~ Bruce

I have to start with Taylor one morning explaining to me that she had asked God, and is fairly confident, that He will give her four children when she gets older. Now keep in mind, I was trying to get ready to leave when Taylor explained her theory to me.

Besides trying not to spit my coffee across the room, Tay proceeded to tell me that her boy names will be Joe Montana, Colin Kaepernick, Alex (she’s not sure Smith would be a very good middle name) and her little girl, Angel. She grinned and said, “I’m naming them after our pigs we don’t have anymore because I miss them.” I laughed and said, “Tay I’m pretty sure your kids won’t want to be named after pigs.” She responds with, “My kids won’t mind because we will be living at our pig farm!”

As I write this, Dad is at the Nebraska Cattlemen’s Classic and the kids and I are on our way to the Illinois Beef Expo! The past week we spent at the Iowa Beef Expo and I have to say Mindy Campfield and her crew did an outstanding job as always!! The kids have really started forging friendships and it warms my heart and makes me a little nervous all at the same time. Many of you have already heard the story, but I have to say it was pretty neat to watch it unfold.

It was Valentine’s Day and Tucker was walking around “investigating” with Klayton Bremer and Dalton Mowbray at the Expo. It just so conveniently happens that their moms Jennifer Carrico and Angie (Dalbey) Mowbray are a couple of my very closest friends. Anyway, the boys decided they wanted to get Taylor a valentine and they had come up with $6 to purchase something.

After wondering the booths looking for something they could afford, Madisyn Jorgensen overheard them and asked if there was anything in her booth the Glamified Boutique that they might like for Taylor. They found a little bracelet that said “FAITH” and Madisyn says, “Well, guess what, that bracelet is only $6!” The boys all looked at each other in awe and were ecstatic! Madisyn even put it in a little pink bag for them.

They found Taylor and gave her the bracelet and she was over the moon, but she didn’t want her new bestie Rylee Short (Kelly and Lacy Short) to feel left out! The boys, of course, told her how much they spent because I think they were pretty proud of themselves at this point. So Taylor grabbed some of her birthday money from Grandma and marched over to Madisyn to see if they had one more bracelet.

I felt like we may have overstepped with the Glamified Boutique but Madisyn was touched by the kids coming up with all of this on their own as much as I was! I definitely need to get up to Guthrie Center to pay them the difference, but holy buckets, Glamified Boutique, you made their day! Every day since, Taylor wonders if her “bestie” is wearing her bracelet, too.

That is definitely what I want the kids to get from going with Mom to these shows…friendships and that sense of belonging to an industry so full of amazing people!

When I think of these memories and the wonderful people in our lives, I remind the kids; take a moment to close your eyes and smell the scent of Grandma’s house, take a snapshot in your mind of when you hug someone so tight, and remember the touch/feel of your mom or dad’s hand holding yours. Then, HOLD onto it in your mind because no one can take away your memories.

I wanted to close with a quote I found that inspires me, "Decide to make every single day the very best day of your ONE precious life!"

Keep our military and our nation in your prayers and travel safe to all the upcoming shows and sales!
