Why use Yardley Bulls

1. Yardley bulls have eye appeal and conformation to sire calves that will top the market, and performance and growth to push down the scales. Feeders want Yardley sired calves because of their eye appeal and gainability 2.

Their heifer calves will be the best cows that you have ever owned. 3. These bulls are grown in big lots where they get plenty of exercise. Wintered mostly on hay so they can live on grass, many buyers tell us they like our bulls because they, “don’t have to pamper them.” Performance comes from their ability to convert forage, not from an excess of grain. 4. Our focus has always been on our maternal traits and cow families. We have AI’d for 49 years selecting the best bulls we can find. Selection emphasis is placed on fleshing ability and performance to excel on the range, in the pasture and feedlot, with eye appeal to be competitive in the show ring. 5. Our cattle have natural fleshing ability to stay fat on grass. Our cows take care of themselves wintering on desert winter range without any hay and calve unassisted on their own. If you want the best we have them In volume. our cattle In thIs year’s female sale went to 22 states, the bulls last year sold to 21 states and canada.

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

Greetings, Man, we just can’t complain about the winter of 2016. It’s my hope that winter 2017 will be uneventful as far as ice and snow when I’m traveling.

I know that some of you will think I have slipped off the deep end on this food report for January, but this is what rang the bell in January. I stay at Holiday Inn every time I have a sale close to Rockford, Illinois, and the main reason is I can go to the sports bar watch a ball game have an adult beverage or slip over to the quiet side of things and have a really nice meal and beverage of choice. Dixie and I, not being very hungry, hit the quiet side and enjoyed one of the best salad bars in the country. And no, I sure didn’t go vegetarian on ya. The next morning as we were getting ready to continue our trip I slipped into the Hoffman House again and ordered one of the best omelets I have ever had in my life. Not sure what they did with this omelet as far as seasoning, but that along with the fact that you pick the ingredients you want and my choice was Bacon, Sausage, Ham, Onion, Green Peppers, and micro-scopic amounts of American cheese. Just believe me it was the greatest presentation of eggs and meat I have ever had for breakfast.

Rockford Holiday Inn and the Hoffman House is a great combo.

As I wrote this, we had just arrived in Denver for the National Western Stock Show. On the trip traveling with Dixie and I were Ross and Sandy.

Once again as we drove down the road we cranked up the crock pot and cooked up some beef and noodles. That just fascinates me! A crock-pot plugged into the cigarette lighter and cooking beef and noodles, and I must say darn good beef and noodles. I think if she could Sandy would put a total kitchen in my Expedition. Great job Sandy!

Between Sandy and Dixie, the snacks and food on board would put most convenience stores to shame. An easy two to three pound a day gain.

Sale season is in full swing. If we or any of the staff can help you locate the livestock you are looking for, please give us a call. Please travel safe and be safe. See ya at the next sale.

As always please keep our military and their families in your thoughts and prayers. Our freedom depends on them!

God Bless

NEWS RELEASE

Judy Loonan of Loonan Stock Farm Named 2017 Iowa Seedstock Producer of the Year Judy Loonan of Loonan Stock Farm, Corning, Iowa, has been named as Iowa’s Seedstock Producer of the Year. The coveted award, sponsored annually by the Iowa Beef Breeds Council, is being awarded to Judy Loonan on Monday, February 13, 2017 at the Expo Kick-Off Program; which is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. in the Bull Pen of the cattle barn at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.

All friends of the Loonan family and the Iowa Beef Expo are invited to attend.

The Seedstock Producer of the Year is a coveted award among Iowa’s Purebred breeders. The purpose of the award is to honor outstanding cattle producers in the seedstock industry. Each Purebred Breed Association is given the opportunity to nominate one candidate for the award. Applications are reviewed by a Seedstock Committee, which gives careful consideration to producers programs in their entirety, including record keeping, industry participation and leadership, merchandising programs, selection criteria and herd improvement over time.

Judy Loonan has been in the Seedstock cattle business for 42 years raising Red Angus, Simmental and Red Simangus cattle currently running 400 cows. Performance records have also been kept for 42 years and Loonan Stock Farm has been members of the Red Angus and Simmental Associations. Loonan Stock Farm sells an average of 135-140 bulls each year Private Treaty providing their customers with birthweight, weaning weight, gain periods, EPD’s,

carcass data and frame score just to name a few.

Judy Loonan helped to get the Adams County Cattlemen going again and has served on their committee. She feels fortunate to have had the opportunity to write for a year for the Farm Bureau Family Living Magazine. Many of you have seen Judy for many years as she has clerked the 4-H Beef Show at the Iowa State Fair for over 30 years. Judy has also served on the FSA Board for over 18 years. For her efforts Judy has been recognized as the 2004 Agriculturalist of the year in Corning, 2006 Adams County Cattlemen of the Year and an honorary member of the Corning FFA. In her own words here is a brief historical review of her seedstock operation: Loonan Stock Farm was started back in my grandfather’s day and the original farm is now a century farm. We became a seedstock breeder 42 years ago when we were looking for a way to produce more pounds by genetics. Simmental were the up and coming breed. Our original base cows were Hereford Holstein and Angus Holstein heifers we purchased from Wisconsin and those crossed with a Simmental bull really produced some extra pounds. Our first calf crop of ½ Simmental calves increased our weaning weights from 435# to 617# for a difference of 182# with no creep feed.

To merchandise our calves we started having Production Sales at the sale barn in Corning. We had 49 head offered in the first sale.

It then progressed from these sales to Private Treaty Opening Day – 1st come 1st pick. This method ended when some of our customers said they would like a chance at any of the bulls and would be willing to pay more to have that chance which is the method we use to this day. The cattle all have a base price in the catalog and when people come they sign in and we go by the order they signed in and they can call in whatever animal they are interested in but anyone can bid. There is no actual auctioneering so it is very laid back and quiet. The drawback to this method is that we can’t sell over video because we have no sale order.

The Simmentals were working great but dad could see that we would need to introduce another breed because our customers wanted to know where they go from here to keep on improving their calf crop. In 1989 we introduced Red Angus after looking at several other breeds and it was the right decision. There wasn’t the time to breed up to the Pure Bred level in the Red Angus so we went to different breeders and bought what we felt were their best

"Judy Loonan" from page 12 heifers and started our herd. A goal with adding the Red Angus was calving ease and also carcass plus we try for moderate sized animals with uniformity thought-out. The weight of our cows with calves on the sale are posted in the sale catalog and we remind customers that our cows are fed well plus they carry a lot of natural thickness and that all shows up in their weights.

A great help was that in 1993 we started ultrasounding both our bull calves and heifer calves for carcass quality. The bulls have been ultrasounded ever since for 23 years and we did the heifers for only a couple of years. This practice has proved beneficial for us as there have been many carcass winners using our genetics and having the kind of customers who know how to maximize the genetics they are purchasing. It’s a great feeling when we get calls with how well their cattle have performed. The Red Angus has given us many carcass winners along with our Simmental. We consider ourselves Purebred breeders for the commercial producers.

When 1996 rolled around we were very fortunate to find Rick Thompson. He came from Nebraska where he was auctioneering and feeding cattle. He became our herdsman in November of that year. All three of us have areas we excel in but we also worked so well together. There was many a day we all three sat around the kitchen table going over sale catalogs looking for new genetics or making decisions on our own sale or just getting crops figured out. He now has a herd of his own here and is the one who delivers the bulls in the spring. Delivering was one of dads favorite times of the year because he got to talk to our customers and find out what we need to keep the same or what they are looking for next 2011 was a sad year when he passed away. That now falls on Rick and he has taken up the challenge well.

We now have over 270 Red Angus cows and run a calving ease line and some cows that are a true performance line. What really sold us on the Red Angus breed was the uniformity in their calves. There were a lot of Continental bred females and there was not a lot of uniformity in their calves. By using Red Angus for only one generation it did away with the inconsistent calves and made them uniform at weaning and beyond. In our herd what we look for is bred alike EPD’s which we feel contributes a lot to the uniformity of calf crops because we aren’t breeding opposites to come up with the end product. Our sales now consist of selling around 100 Purebred Red Angus bulls, 25-30 Simmental bulls and 10-15 Red Angus x Simmental bulls. The heifers are 55-60 Purebred Red

28

Livestock Plus Inc.

Angus heifers, 10-15 Simmental heifers and 15-20 Red Angus x Simmental heifers. Every year we sell out and at times could use a few more to sell. We are so very proud of the fact that our neighbors buy from us and that most of our bulls are sold here in Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri.

Our goals are to continue as we are by adding better genetics but keeping our same philosophy of consistent, dependable genetics. I would like to see us do more with some genetic testing but the biggest is to be a reliable source for the commercial producer to purchase their breeding stock.

There wouldn’t be a Loonan Stock Farm seedstock provider if not for dad’s insight into the future and when I came into the business in 1976 as a partner it was one of the best days of my life.

What I learned from him is becoming more apparent every day after his passing and with Rick’s knowledge and help we are able to continue plus we are so fortunate to have the customer base we have to keep us on the right track.

This is what Rick and I love to do and the long hours during calving are worth it when each live calf is weaned in the fall. To me this is an occupation and not a job and I know we are blessed to be able to wake up each day and do what we love to do. Ricks family has been great to work with and his wife becomes a widow during calving. When asked where my husband and kids are all I have to say is out in the pasture as I chose cattle over the normal family. I’m very fortunate that my sister lets me “borrow” her four at times and her grand kids. That’s having your cake and eating it too. n

- User-friendly inside release of calf to cow!

- Move calves easier with cow following!

Dennis Courtright - “After putting the catcher together - Less cow stress, mother can see and smell calf! one morning, I needed to use it that afternoon with a very aggressive 3-year-old. Needless to say, it worked - Reduces danger while working new calves! like a dream. We work each calf (weigh, vitamin, ear tag, - Quick Mount/Dismount on both ATV & UTVs! castrate) before 48 hours and calve in a large pasture. We could not work our calves safely without the Calf Catcher.

My wife and I do all the work. She is 69 and I am 71.

Overall it is a good tool and essential for our operation.”

Michael Hornecker, WY - “I wish I had found out about the Safety Zone Calf Catchers years ago. No more rushing to get a calf doctored or tagged before the cow gets on the fight. I work by myself and this has made my job a lot safer.”

Bar 4 Ranch, TX - ”We love our Calf Catcher! No people or animals have been hurt. The cows are more calm because they can see & smell the calves going to the pairs pasture.

It is really a one-man job now!”

Cody Lee, MT - “After all was said and done we have concluded that it was the best use of money that we have made in the last twenty years. It was a huge time saver and labor savor and just simply made calving a much easier task. This is a very well made piece of equipment and it handled all of my concerns with rough terrain and ditches with flying colors.”

Easy & Safe Catching!

Some breeds talk about superior genetic Merit. Registered Angus bulls prove it.

They simply outperform the competition in calving ease, growth, and marbling. According to USDA research. That’s proof that the registered Angus bull you purchase comes with power and predictability backed by a better balance of the traits you need to get profitable results.

An extensive multi-year study shows Angus calves earn you more at sale time than similar calves of all other breeds nearly $7/cwt. more on average.

In fact, packers pay Angus producers $1 million in premium per week.

That’s a lot of value brought to you by reliable, registered Angus bulls. Anything else is just hype.

ANGUS MEANS BUSINESS. USDA analysis shows the Superiority of Angus at every stage.

SELECT GROUP OF COW/CALF PAIRS COMMENTARY

A Little Bit About a Whole Lot of Things

by Evan Rayl

In the January 2017 issue of Livestock Plus, you did not see a column or news story written by this writer. I was just about to wrap up my column when the phone rang. It was only a short conversation, but when I went back to the computer, what I saw almost threw me into shock. The screen of the computer was almost totally pitch black with 3 or 4 white sentences and a phone number. I was totally stunned. Apparently, I had been the victum of a scam. I was really shocked because these sort of things were not supposed to happen to people with Apple computers.

Well, that‘s not true anymore. Until, that day for forty some years, I thought I had been pretty smart because I had’t needed a computer program to protect my computer from a scam or a virrus. I thought I had saved a lot of money over all those years, but not anymore .

My computer advisor ever since my grandson was about 10 years old, has been my grandson, Blane. He is an Iowa State University Electrial Engineer and he is currently working at a job site south of Houston, Texas. When he got home from Texas for Christmas, he fixed my computer in less than five minutes.

In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, your given a test that teaches you a lesson. ~ Tom Bodett Roy and Bobbi Reiman’s vision of creating a premier garden for Iowa State University, its faculty, and students is the bias for the 2015 mater plan, and we thank them for their generous that was envisioned to the Gardens new 20-year master plan.” Sycamore Falls will feature several waterfalls cascading over native limestone walls, flanked by sculptural terraces of colorful ornamental plants, ending in a large reflecting pool, incorporating seven iconic sycamore trees that have been on the property for 80 years. Roy was my roommate for a couple quarters at Iowa State back in the latter ‘50s. He worked at the Friley Hall kitchen to pay for his meals. He was a hard worker and a good guy. He desires every bit of the success he has enjoyed. Roy broke new ground when he proved that magazines with beautiful photos can be successful without paid advertising.

Going to school does not make a person educated, any more than going to a garage makes a person a car. ~ Henry Louis Mencken

Maynard Holberg was recently selected for one of the livestock industry’s highest honors. He was a Iowa State professor and former animal science department chair. In November he became the 2016 Saddle and Sirloin Award winner. His portrait was unveiled as the newest entry in the collection at the ceremony in Louisville, Kentucky. For three decades, Holberg led animal science departments at Iowa State University and Michigan State University.

Holberg was a national leader in animal agriculture, he shaped a generation of animal scientists, extension specialists and industry leaders through his mentoring of students, faculty and staff and academia and industry colleagues. Holberg provided leadership to numerous state and national associations and organizations, including serving as president of the American Society of Animal Science and of the Federation of Animal Science Societies. He was instrumental in the formation of the National Swine Registry. Holberg was the 369th person honored since 1903. Five others from Iowa State University have joined the list since 1903: Seaman Knapp, Charles F. Curtiss, Henry Killee, Jay Lush, and Richard Willham.

Willham, an emeritus distinguished professor was the last Iowa State person to be inducted in in 2004.

Joy can only be real if people look upon their life as a service and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness. ~ Leo Tolstoy The U.S. News and World Report named Iowa State’s Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering undergraduate program number one among all national universities and first among public universities this September. They are in a tie with Purdue University. Iowa State was ranked number two last year. Current research and extension efforts are focused in five key areas.

Land and water resources engineering Biological and process engineering and technology Animal production systems engineering Advanced engineering and manufacturing systems Occupational safety engineering Over the past five years Agricultural Biosystems Engineering undergraduate enrollment has grown by 46%. Currently, the department is home to 108 undergrads and 92 graduate students educated by 36 faculty members. All teaching and research are housed in two buildings, Elings Hall and Sukup Hall.

To serve is beautiful, but only if it is done with joy and a whole heart and a free mind. ~ Pearl S. Buck It is almost by accident that all sections of this months “Little Bit’s” column are about happenings at or to a graduate of Iowa State University. n

COMMENTARY

Cody’s Column

by Cody Crum

I hope that everyone made it home safely from Denver and is enjoying a successful start to calving season.

Tamar and I are ready to start our first “married” calving season.

We’ve heard it before and I am sure many of you are thinking the same thing…calving season is sort of like sale picture time, it’s a great time to “test the marriage.” Calving season is probably a good opportunity to learn to make sacrifices for each other (taking turns going out at midnight to check cows), trouble-shooting problems together, and growing our herd while working as a team to strengthen our marriage. But our circumstances are a bit different…

Many of you may not be aware but Tamar and I have not been able to completely live together since our wedding day. She is working full time towards a PhD in Animal Science – Cattle Genomics at the University of Missouri while I hold the fort down here in Rushville, IL. Now don’t ask me to explain exactly what Tamar is studying, most all of it is way over this cowboy’s head!

Columbia, MO to Rushville, IL is just under a 3-hour drive and we have both made that trip countless times (and I would be in trouble if I didn’t mention she makes the trip more than I do!). As you can imagine, there have been quite a few challenges to being married and not being together all the time. We did get to spend virtually the whole summer together and took a couple great trips together.

If you want to earn some brownie points guys, take her to Disney!

As a young couple in the seedstock industry, there are plenty of challenges as you all well know. I, by no means have it figured out, but I would like to share a few things that I have learned.

We all want to get to the top of this business and we know com-

134

Livestock Plus Inc.

petition to get to that point is extremely tough. As a young producer, we want to get our name out there, get noticed and begin building a reputation. Tamar and I are in that exact position and there are 4 words that come to mind that have helped us out: patience, plan, persistence and prayer.

Patience is probably the toughest for me but you need to come to terms with the fact that it just takes time. In our case, we really want to grow our herd in numbers. But, with Tamar not being here all the time, we have to be realistic about taking on too much too soon.

Make a plan! You would not start up a new company without making a business plan, this is no different. I’m not saying you have to type up a 30-page report but you need have an idea about your goals and dreams and how you want to get there.

Be persistent! You will fail at times. And when you do, it helps you figure out why and what you need to do different the next time.

Pray! This is most important. I can tell you that our marriage and cattle operation would not be where it is today without prayer.

Put these 4 words at work in your life and I believe you will find success in many areas not just your operation! There is one more “P” word that I’d be remiss not to mention – parents. Tamar and I are both blessed with parents that want to see us succeed in this business (and in life) and are willing to help us out more than we ever deserve. Wayne & Kay and Jim & Jan, we love you and can’t thank you enough for all the help and support you give us on a daily basis. We appreciate all you do and know it would not be possible without your help!

To all you young cattlemen out there, keep up the good work and don’t ever forget your dreams. “Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way!”

God Bless you all, Cody

Hoping everyone is enjoying 2017!

We are happy to report that after our 20 day stay in the NICU, Miss Treva is eating more and gaining weight! Big brother and big sister are still completely smitten and fight over who gets to change her and help feed her when she takes a bottle. Makes this mom pretty over the moon...

Miss Treva, pronounced Tree-va, had her first photo shoot with my sister-in-law, Maria Sorensen. The kids had so much fun but it really wore out the Little T. Tuck and Tay are old pros at our obsessive picture taking! Treva got her first nickname from Uncle Bubba, he calls her AppleTree, if you know our family, you know we love our nicknames!

Treva got a little fussy and I told Maria to put her in her fuzzy, pink snow suit because it’s magic! Sure enough, as soon as Maria held her in the snugly suit, she passed out! Kiddos had fun and we even got a pic of Indie and Michael our niece and nephew that wanted in on the action too!

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at the Redwood Steakhouse in Anita, Iowa. That has been my favorite since I was a kid and I found out it has been owned by the same owner for 40 years! The food is always amazing and we love the relish tray with the warm bread! Our waitress played us an anniversary song on

the jukebox and sent us home with a couple little pine trees! The kids dubbed this our best yet!

Please continue to keep our country and military in your prayers. Hope to see and catch up with many of you at the Beef Expos!!!

God Bless!!!!

hoto P e r u t Fea Cooper John Starman, the first of the 7th generation for the Fitzsimmons Clan is more than curious about the family cattle business.

When Megan, the oldest of our 6 children, her husband Matt Starman, and Cooper come to visit, the first thing that Cooper wants to do is “CHECK THE COWS” with Grandpa Fitz.
