It is just a neat old store, if in Wilton, Iowa it’s a must stop. Bubba created a mural of a large flag and pictures of the original founders along with a group of military folks. If you go to the Candy Kitchen, you won’t miss it. While we were in Wilton, we had the pleasure of a nice meal at the Presbyterian Church.The description that rings true almost everywhere is “you can’t beat church lady cooking,” and this was no exception. I was introduced to hot German potato salad, a different twist for potato salad. As they all say “let Mikey try it, Mikey will Magazine Cowboys Kids Livestock Plus is mailed the first of every month.

Thanks to the church ladies and their men (clean-up crew). Next, after an overnight stay in Macon, Missouri, we landed at a county fair in Owensville, Missouri; the Gasconade County Fair. All I can say is, “Wow!” I guess I’m used to the local county fairs, but this one is a mini state fair on steroids. On the way to the fairgrounds a buddy told me they wanted to feed the people going to the sale a ribeye steak dinner in the board room of the downtown bank “Legend State Bank.” I figured we would have a paper-thin ribeye sandwich. I was very surprised when I went through the line and gathered up a pretty darn good fullfledged ribeye. They also provided a side of cheesy potatoes and green beans with an option for corn on the cob. I desperately wanted to try the corn, but I usually wear as much as I eat and didn’t want to look like a slob the rest of the day. I guess, in short, they like the buyers to be well cared for. Not that I planned on being a buyer, but I was surely very grateful for a great meal. Now, on to the fair. We pulled into a midway like a junior theme park. We drove through with carnival rides on both sides, to a parking lot right by the sale ring. Beside the sale ring was a stage similar to the stage at the Iowa State Fair. I found out Tracy Lawrence would be playing on that stage that evening. Not only is this a great county fair for the kids, they take care of everyone; even the music lovers. The other thing that surprised me was the number of people that I knew and/or knew me, with me being 6 hours from home! Thanks everyone for making me feel welcome.Backtothe sale; really, who ever heard of going to a sale without bidding on something. Well, I had watched most of the sale and saw lots of livestock bring a very good price. Towards the end of this sale, they sold hams. These hams really intrigued me. I realize it doesn’t take much to impress me, but you know how you’ve seen in old movies where they hang hams out in the corn crib with a gunnysack over them and they put a brine on them every so often to keep them from spoiling. Most "Greetings" continued on pg 14
Greetings,Theweather report from Greenfield, Iowa, two words will describe it; HOT and DRY. Mother nature is not treating us very good. I pray for rain every day, several times, to please give us some relief. Dixie and I jumped in the truck a week ago and decided to head southeast and slide into Missouri. First though, we thought we would work our way east for a bit and stop in Wilton, Iowa to visit our son and view his latest creation on the north exterior wall of The Candy Kitchen. The Candy Kitchen is a landmark of its own. Founded in 1910 it has carried on with its soda fountain that remains today. It kind of took me back to my childhood. This place has all the old candy that I bought for pennies and nickels, although the price is a bit higher now. They have candy like the long flat taffy that came in multi colors, chuckles (a sugar high), and candy cigarettes (for those really cool kids) just to name a few.

Pat Realing, WY "From a 67 year old guy in Wyoming the calf catcher is a life saver. Catch all calves by my self...works great. Calves and cows are much calmer." Bruce Rickertsen, NE - "Makes catching, transporting and tagging calves much easier and safer."
The US Dollar and the US stock market has had a dandy rally for the last month or so and yet we must not forget that the Piper must be paid. Trillions of dollars have been printed out of thin air and handed out and now payback. The mid-term elections are around the corner and the liberal socialist folks want to take over the whole thing and tell us what to do and when to do it. Will they pull it off? Time will tell. Until then? The Dollar eventually has to be forced back down to try and inflate the debt away. Energy markets—specifically Crude — have had massive corrections and a turn back down on the Dollar during this new month of September should take Crude back over 100 per barrel and Silver and Gold to new multi-year highs. Why? Bitcoin is not liked by the liberal socialists trying to take over and thus you reasonably assume that honest hard working Americans will go back to old fashioned silver and gold coins, literally. So what should you expect in September and possibly through November? A resumption of the bear market in stocks and for Crude and Corn to take off again. Don’t be fooled by the vicious snap back on the SP500. Historical data shows over the years that a bear market gets wild up and down wild going down for the count. Word on the street is that even irrigated Corn is in trouble this year. Crude Oil is not going away anytime soon if you look at thousands of 18-Wheelers going up and down I-65 from Wisconsin to Alabama. Remember, Corn can be made into fuel or food and thus a bull market in Crude is a bull market in Corn. There are a number of ways to hedge your exposure on Corn and Diesel-Crude. Talk with us soon.
Protected Processing! Watch Action Video at SafetyZoneCalfCatchers.com For local dealers or to order, call 877-505-0914
Suffice it to say that hedging your family and ranch interests from Corn to Cattle to Diesel may be critical during the next pandemic. Few hard working old fashioned capitalists here in the Midwest can wrap their mind around the idea of socialistic powers and policies getting a stronger and stronger foot-hold in the United States of America. Uncertain times means hedging your business interests’ before the fact, not after the fact. Naturally if you are already a bona-fide livestock producer has experience in hedging livestock on the Board then you’ll want to see the wholesale beef and dressed steer approach to optimizing Cattle hedges. So to get a new perspective on beef and dressed integration you’ll need to contact Michelle at 312.756.0931 Monday through Friday 9am to 430pm CST and she will help you receive on a complimentary basis for two full months by email both ‘Daily and Weekend ‘Livestock Reports’ that includes Fat and Feeder Cattle Valuations. You can also email Michelle White at mwhite@ tradewithfox.com and give her your email address. And remember, hedging livestock with Chicago Board Cattle futures still has risk of loss and is not suitable for all livestock producers and investors who desire to hedge their livestock on the dirt. Again, feel free to call Michelle after the Cattle and Corn markets close here at the Board and she will arrange a quick teleconference for 20 minutes with us to help you educate yourself on the risk and opportunities of hedging or front-loading potential feed or livestock on the dirt. n

This is when the wheels fell off the recipe card. Matt has this thing for seasoning, sauces, and other exotic stuff to make a wild piece of meat. As I remember, one of the pieces had like a raspberry sauce, and the other piece had bar-b-que.
14 Livestock Plus Inc. September 2022 of us would be scared to eat it after it has hung outside in the heat, rain, bird’s, bugs, mold, and anything else creepy and crawly being on it. Well, I bought one. These hams for sale didn’t really hang outisde, they were stored in a modern way, but they used the same process to cure them. Elijah Wax from the Bem 4-H club prepared this ham for the sale. I’m not sure where he placed but it looked good to me. There was just something about this young man that hit me. He entered the sale ring with his ham and it was bringing about half what the first two brought. I guess I decided with that nine-year-old’s smile, and the proud look on his face, ol’ Mike could help make it bring what it should. So I bought it. I was on a mission to try something new. He and his mother did a little school after the sale on how they would prepare it, along with the extension lady that acquired a recipe card to help with notes on the preparation. Eli, great job! I was happy to be able to help you with your project. Special thanks to Anthony Peoples and Kevin Lockard for all the advice during this experience!!
A meat adventure that was fun and a flavor all of its own. I enjoyed every bit of it. Matt and family, thanks for the cheesy potatoes, green beans and your grilling expertise. Heidi, thanks for the monkey bread, and biscuits. Everything turned out great. Eli, great job on curing the ham! It was a great experience!!
Sale season is cranking up. We have started doing a few herd visits on our way to and from sales when time permits. If we can help in your sale prep or finding your next great one, give one of our sale staff aPleasecall. pray for our country, please Lord help fix the mess we are in, please grant our country’s leaders some common sense. Keep our Law enforcement, first responders, and our military and their families in your prayers.
Next was the call to my son-in-law Matt Rohrig, the master at the grill with a specialty on pork grilling. When I told him what I had done, his first comment was I have never done anything like this. My response was, “it’s no problem, I have been schooled.” Last Saturday was theMattnight.started early preparing sauces, grill and trying to figure how he was going to cut it. Well, the process took some time and serious cyphering. Ol’ Matt had his knives sharpened up and started cutting off some mold and then started the slicing. That brine stuff is tough stuff, with a minor slip, we sliced a thumb, but with Matt it was no problem. A paper towel, a little duct tape, and we were back in business.
So, I was told to slice it, then put it in boiling water to take some of the salt flavor out, then grill it.

Yet, last week we also saw some strong sales that brought 18k and 22K/acre. What does this mean? It means just because one farm brings $20,000/acre does not mean that all farms will bring that price. There are still many factors that affect farmland value: location, farm ability, shape, size, CSR2, soil type, slope, drainage, water sources, hunting/fishing ability, ability to build, development potential and much more. One of the largest factors however is the competitiveness of the neighbor farmers. Most farm buyers come within 50 miles of the farm location. Even if there are investor buyers bidding, an auction relies on the competitive bidding aspect. If the locals are not bidding as aggressively as they have been recently we will see lower prices. When the backup bidders do not bid as aggressive … I believe we will see real estate/auction companies shift to offering the farmland as a one chance bid option (sealed bid scenario) as a measure to gain the highest and best price. We may also see no-sales at auction with negotiations for the seller’s desired price after the auction. For us, as land sales specialist, we will have to sharpen the pencil to manage sellers’ expectations. We are not saying the market is crashing … we believe the market is flattening due to buyers exercising caution from talk of recession. We are still seeing outstanding prices and significantly more acres coming to the market. Results from the 92 Auctions (10,770 acres) this last month have the average for the state at $11,795 high quality ground at $14,675/ acre, and medium quality ground averaging $9,211/acre.

COMMENTARY Lefty’s Logic by Eric Lee I somethingdid today that a year and a half ago was not in my future,immediatewetookBrenton to his first day of kindergarten. I am pretty sure it was way easier on him than it was on Brooke and me. We walked him into the school where his teacher and class were lining up, he gave us both a quick hug said bye and ran to join his classmates. To see how much that little boy has opened up and changed is nothing short of awesome. There is nothing I have ever been part of that makes me more proud than helping raise that little guy. So, when it came time to make the decision to move back with them to Illinois or stay in Wisconsin, the decision was incredibly easy. I feel so blessed to have Brooke and Brex in my life and know it does not matter where we are as long as we are together, we will be just fine.Ilook forward to continuing to work with all of my old customers and excited for the new ones to come. As we move forward in the fall sale season, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or any of the LPI family with any of your sale needs. May you be as blessed as I have been.

EDITORIAL
Quote from Jon Janssen: “We are very humbled to be part of the Debernardi tour 2022 and have the chance to visit old friends Santiago Debernardi, Raul Alfonsin and manythatmemoriesTheseUSA.andArgentinabothtravelenoughbeenthatothersIhaveluckytowithinthearewill
forever be highlights of my Angus career. The pure love of good Angus cattle that Santiago and I share, and our desire to share it with the world makes our story one that needs to be told. Thank you to Santi and Select Sires for making Janssen Angus one of the stops amongst some of the most celebrate Angus programs of all time! Maradith and I are forever thankful!” n
It is important to note that prior to the Debernardi/Select Sires partnership, the Argentine company was the worlds largest distributor for Genex Cooperative. During their working relationship together, Jon and Santiago were lucky enough to have the foresight to procure two of the three most influential sires in Argentine Angus history! Duff Mr. Angus and SAV Resource! Both have left a giant impact on the genetic landscape in Argentina and still do to this day. Both have sold millions of dollars in semen in Argentina. Other stops along the long journey included: Mushrush Red Angus, KS; McCumber Angus, ND; Schaff Angus Valley, ND; Ellingson Angus Ranch, ND; Strommen Angus Ranch, ND; World West Sires, MT; JR Angus Ranch, MT and Coleman Angus Ranch, MT.
Janssen Angus has been a regular stop on the Debernardi/ Select tour for 8 years because of the shared goals in producing the good ones that both Jon and Santiago are driven by. This spring, Janssen Angus purchased a new Canadian bred herd sire in partnership with neighboring breeder Pinehurst Angus. Brooking Steadfast is an SAV Renovation son out of one of the most productive Pioneer cows in Justin Morrison’s, Brooking Angus Program. He fits the phenotype desires of both Janssen and Debernardi, deep, thick, sound, Aberdeen Angus head, fleshing ability and massive muscle shape. After thepurchase,monumentalhimcongratulatemediasocialJonapproachedSantiagoimmediatelybull,purchasedJonthealmostthroughtoonaanddesireto sell semen on the bull in Argentina. The world is literally so small anymore with the advent of the internet that two friends a half a world away can pursue the same bull without each other knowing about it!
A Passion for Angus Like No Other Contributed by Jon Janssen
Brooking Steadfast
In June, Santiago Debernardi led a group of 40+ Argentine Angus breeders on a journey that started in Kansas and ended in Montana, a trip that he and his Semen Company, Juan Debernardi SRL/Select Sires hosts annually for passionate breeders/veternarians/advisors to learn the American way of management and breeding of Angus. One of the stops in the journey that started at Mushrush Angus in Kansas and ended at Coleman Angus in Montana, was Janssen Angus in Iowa. Jon Janssen and Santiago Debernardi have been friends/colleagues for 20+ years dating back to Jon’s role in the Genex Beef Department and Santiago’s role as Marketing manager in his father’s company, Juan Debernardi SRL, the company that sells more American Beef semen any where in the world...more than One Million units annually! Why...it’s simple, PASSION for the good ones, Angus cattle that can survive in any environment, flesh easy, good feet, thick muscle, base wide, attractive, basically the kind that can turn grass into protein on the table.
Argentina is a country that has a history of producing Phenotypically some of the best cattle in the world because of their relentless desire to breed the perfect animal physically that can thrive only on roughage, yet be pleasing to the eye! The data or EPD’s, to them, takes a back seat to visual appraisal. They produce what their population likes to eat, their goal is not to produce a product that they can export world wide. Consequently, their population eats roughly twice the amount of beef per year than we do in the USA. Santiago and his colleagues will travel to the ends of the earth scouting bulls that will help them achieve their goals!
Jon with Santiago Debernardi, Raul Alfonsin & Hector Santos
This group of 40+ Argentine Angus enthusiasts were treated to the viewing of Brooking Steadfast along with a group of Janssen Angus cows sired by Debernardi/Select Sires bulls including SAV Rainfall, Crawford Guarantee, Deer Valley Growth Fund, SAV Resource, SAV Don Pepe, SAV Priority, SAV Harvestor and many more. After the cattle tour Jon and Santiago presented to the group their shared view of the future of the Angus business and answered several questions, followed by a couple of hours of fellowship over lunch...and local Madison County Iowa Red Wine!

As I sit and write this, we are about half way through the Iowa State Fair and what fun it has been! I love seeing such high quality livestock compete but even more so seeing high quality junior exhibitors show their livestock. This year there has seemed to be a lot of Facebook posts and comments made about kids getting bad treatment when they win by either saying it wasn’t them who did the work, or calling politics, or so on and so forth. I think we need to look long and hard before making such a claim for multiple reasons.
This month, my hat goes off to those with the heart of a champion. Those who go to win every time they compete, but also can congratulate a winner and go home to make necessary adjustments to be better next time out.

joys, our
It takes so much to be competitive showing livestock these days. Just the difference in effort it takes to be competitive over the past 10 years has changed so drastically. You can most often look at an exhibitor and their creature in the ring and tell just how much time they’ve spent together. I love to win as much as anyone. More so, I love people who every time they go to a show, go to win. I think you need that in your heart and that extra drive that every time you go somewhere you go to win. That being said, I also believe in learning and moving on when you get beat at a show; especially by one that is truly just good or a different type and kind than you may have had that day.

January-April is the time of year when har vested forages are required to make up the bulk of the diets. Considering the moderate to high requirements of third trimester ges tation and late lactation, a CP and energy supplement is often needed regardless of calving window. Early weaning of fall calves to reduce the diet requirements of cows may be a good option to save on the
As drought, high input costs, and mar ket volatility have driven U.S. cow herd numbers to 70-year lows, some Iowa cat tlemen may consider starting a fall herd if markets dictate. Benefits to fall-calving include marketing calves during seasonal highs, double dipping on bull power, and reduced calving labor. However, our region has one major limitation: feed. If not man aged, feed costs for fall-calving cows will eat the profit out of the higher market value of fall-born calves. Before making the switch to or add ing a fall herd, a solid understanding of a cow’s nutritional requirements relative to the feed value of readily available forages each month is necessary. Figure 1 tracks the crude protein (CP) and total digestible nutrients (TDN) or energy requirements for a 1,400-pound mature cow with above average milk to maintain a BCS 5 through out the calendar year. It assumes a March or September born calf weaned at six months.Lactating cows have 25-30% greater nutrient requirements than dry cows. Spring-calving cows reach peak feed needs in early spring and are lactating over the early summer months when cool season pastures perform best. However, fall-calving cows’ requirements peak during a time of year when cool-season pas tures are going dormant, so another forage resource is necessary. Table 1 lists common forages used as the base of beef cow diets and notes when a CP or TDN supplement is likely needed during the year based on spring or fall-calving cows’ requirements. In various scenarios, it’s important to consider feed availabil ity, harvest costs, storage costs, feed delivery costs, and increased waste when utilizing harvested feeds. When comparing fall and spring system feed needs, a few points are worth noting.

September-December presents the largest challenge as feedstuffs are gen erally lower quality than in the spring.
summer pastures are uti lized for cattle in either calving window as they provide adequate nutrition during the growing season. Another option may be dry lotting the fall herd while requirements are low during gestation to save grass for the spring herd or stockpiling for later use. Though economical at times, this year that was probably not the case.
When you reserve your consignments, please specify if you would like to reserve them for the sale or if you would like them to be tested privately and plan to market them in private treaty. Privately tested lots will go through the same curriculum as sale nominated cattle, and the perfor mance data will be available to the owner at the end of the testing window. Reserving your consignments for the sale does not guarantee them to be sold in one of two ICA “Symbol of Excellence” Sales. ICA is committed to excellence and your consign ments will be given the privilege of partic ipating if they achieve excellence in the following categories: FALL & SRPING REQUIREMENTSBULL
For spring-calving cows that are weaning calves, maintenance requirements are low and cows can thrive on low-quality forages like cornstalks. On the other hand, fall-calv ing cows require high quality feeds as they reach peak production. To stay competitive during high feed prices, fall-calving herds might include stockpiled pastures or hay ground, summer annuals, or small grains and brassicas to boost forage quality and extend the grazing season. While the qual ity of the forage will dictate how much is needed, protein and energy supplements are typically needed to meet high lactation requirements of fall-calving cows. All of the discussed examples assume adequate forage availability and unlimited intake. When limited, a supplement must be fed. Altering the calving window isn’t a light decision and should be driven by each operation’s forage and labor avail ability throughout the year.

The “Joy” of Baking Contributed by Landi McFarland “I can do better than that!” was Joy’s attitude after taking her first cake to the Iowa State Fair in the early 1980’s and placing third out of three entries. Joy was the third generation of her family to exhibit baked goods for competition at the Iowa State Fair, and she set out to improve her competitive baking skills.Joy listened to judge’s comments, took notes, then went home and spent countless hours perfecting her baked goods. One year, Joy brought home 71 blue (first place) ribbons from the Iowa State Fair. Another year, she won Sweepstakes in 6 different divisions. Yet another year she won both Cake of the Fair and Cookie of the Fair – two of the most prestigious awards. Her first year entering pies, she won first and second overall in the pie division. These are no small feats, as the Iowa State Fair has the largest competitive Food Department in the nation. Cakes were always Joy’s favorite item to bake and exhibit. Joy baked 25 cakes for this year’s Iowa State Fair, and came home with 12 blue (first place) ribbons. She earned First Overall in the Single Layer category with

EDITORIAL A note from Mike, From the very beginning of Livestock Plus Inc., I have told everyone involved in this publication that this isn’t Good Housekeeping, we are not a Betty Crocker Plus, and we darn sure are not a recipe book. In other words, one food story and that is mine, but I certainly think that I owe Joy and David McFarland and the rest of my readers the chance to share their success at the Iowa State Fair. Joy and David are a big part of Hoover Angus. They are one of my faithful advertisers for some 25 years. My congratulations to the family on the successful baking and superior Angus genetics. It is my hopes to someday to be a taste tester for Joy and David! Ice cream and cake, dessert deluxe!

Every year I write about summer flying by and every year seems to be going faster and faster. When I count the number of summers I have left with my kids at home, it makes me cry! This summer, the kids officially kicked Matt and me out of the show barn, which makes me super proud of them for doing it all themselves but also I miss being needed. Every success is just a little sweeter because they know they did it all!We survived our inaugural Show Stock Buddies Show at the Adair County Fair! The Jefferson Pioneers and Orient Bulldogs 4-H Clubs worked hard to collect donations, select buddies, mentors and animals! It all came together pretty great, of course we have things we need to iron out for next year but we are considering it a WIN! We will continue to stick by our motto of creating an all inclusive event to integrate people with intellectual and or developmental disabilities and bring them the opportunity to show livestock! Everyone should get to show livestock and know the bond with not only the animal but the people in the livestock industry! I have always said that our livestock family IS family, pretty incredible people!

This year at the Iowa State Fair Matt and I had the extreme honor of judging the Bacon Buddies Show! This is the show that inspired our club to create our very own, at the county level, (Adair County just included sheep and goats too)! Tucker and Taylor volunteered while Matt and I judged and spent some time with the gal that spearheaded the original Bacon Buddies in 2019, Kylee Brown! Don’t worry Treva was with Grandpa & Grandma Rohrig and our dear friend Kelsey Greenslade! Huge THANK YOU to the Iowa Pork Producers for allowing our family to volunteer and be a part of such an incredible event! We haven’t even finished the Iowa State Fair yet but Tucker had an 4-H Swine Show earning Champion Senior Division Swine Showmanship! Taylor was right on his heels earning 4th Overall Intermediate Showmanship. Like I explained earlier, they push themselves all spring and summer, without our assistance. Their showmanship accomplishments followed their Champion Skillathon win with their teammate, Brady Allan from Plymouth County. Greg Lear also in the picture was instrumental in getting our families together in 2017, Taylor just finally have a belt buckle like big nation in your God also BLESS all the kids the end of summer!
