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

Greetings, Well folks, this is my season. We are just getting into sale season, the temperature is usually pretty nice, and I’m not completely worn out from every day on the road; but yet, I’m hoping my season lasts for a while. Sometimes, and not very often in my business, things line up prefectly as far as travel and timing. That’s just the nature of the business. Well, recently I had the pleasure of making several herd visits landing in Darlington, Wisconsin for a sale the next day. Then I was able to drive thirty-five miles to the next sale the following day. When I landed in Darlington, I received an invite to go to the first sale site for a previewing of cattle and pre-sale party. The viewing went well, the pre-sale snacks were deadly, and the adult beverage were nice also. I had a great time in a laid back atmosphere. Sale day of course, I had to have another viewing to out guess my first viewing, and visit with as many people as

I could. Next to the official pre-sale meal, prime rib, cheesy potato’s, little baby potato’s, cowboy beans, salad, and a whole host of deserts. It absolutely hit the spot for this ol’ cowboy. Great sale! Then back to the motel to watch the disappointing Iowa State football loss. Nice thing about it, Iowa still won just not the one I supported for several years. Sale two on this trip started out with what I call a really great breakfast at the attached restaurant to the motel. They said I could design my own omelet, so bacon, sausage, onion, green pepper and light on the cheese and a side of bacon. Now that is my kind of breakfast. Awesome! Then off to the next sale. When I walked in, it looked like the salad bar at an expensive restaurant. I have absolutely no will power when it comes to a grazing party like this. So, in between viewing the new set of cattle and making calls to report to the inquiring minds that could not make it to the sale, I think I gained five pounds eating the snack bar. I had a really great time at these two sales. I enjoyed all the people that I was able to visit with, and the sales were really good too. I think everybody went home happy. Thanks to everyone at the Riley’s and Gaffney operations, the hospitality was unbelievable. Please travel safe, have a great Halloween. Thank as many Veterans as you can for your freedom, so that you can stand at attention when the American Flag is presented and the National Anthem is performed. God Bless

5 Tips for Taking Great Fall Livestock Photos By Rachel Cutrer, Founder and CEO, Ranch House Designs, Inc. Brightly colored leaves, crisp cool air, foggy mornings (depending where you are in the country) and golden sunsets make Fall the perfect season to capture gorgeous moments around the farm and ranch. At V8 Ranch, we are blessed to have great photography resources. My sister and brother in-law are nationally acclaimed wedding photographers who conduct exquisite photography workshops. We love it when they volunteer to take photos on the ranch because they are always perfect. My husband, on the other hand, is a completely self taught, doit-himself cattle photographer who simply enjoys photography as a hobby. The combination of having professionals on hand but a comfortable amateur works quite well. There are certain times of the year where hiring the professional photographer has definite advantage. For example, before sale time. However, many times throughout the year we are able to do a great job on our own just by using the tips and tricks we’ve learned from our professional siblings. This month, I share five tips any rancher can use for capturing great photos this fall. Hopefully you’ll find these helpful from the professional photographer standpoint and the casual ranch photographer point of view. Tip #1: Take your time. When either Brandon (my husband, the cattle rancher) or Luke (my brother-in-law, the professional photography) take photos on the ranch, they usually pencil in a few days to get the job done, especially if it is picturing sale cattle. For whatever reason, usually

16

Livestock Plus Inc.

the first day of sale picture day always has trouble. If that happens, Brandon will usually pack up the camera bag and call it a day. The next day may be magic. Give yourself extra flexibility and wiggle room to find the best time when your cattle will cooperate with you. Tip #2. Be prepared for the unexpected. No, I’m not talking about a calf jumping the fence. Well...maybe. During these fall months, keep your camera with you at all times so you are prepared to capture that perfect shot. It might be early morning, or just at dusk when you’re turning out the calves for the night. Always be prepared. Tip #3. Use the sun to your advantage. Many professional photographers savor the golden hour of photography. This is the time right after sunrise or right before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky. This is the magic time for capturing great farm scenic photos. If you go to www.golden-hour.com you can actually calculate the best time for these pictures based on your location. Tip #4. Maximize fall colors. If you live in an area where the trees change color in the fall, you need to capitalize on this time. It’s your once a year opportunity to showcase the beautiful farm scenery and warm hues. Fall color makes for a great backdrop for pasture shots, farm scenic photos and even family pictures (just in time for Christmas cards!). The fall leaves make cattle look great by providing a warm contrasting background for white, black, or red cattle. Tip #5. Plan a photo shoot right before fall calving If you have a fall calving herd, plan a morning or evening to capture your cows in prime condition right before calving. Deep bodies, wide hips, and full udders make ideal conditions for pictures of your cow herd. Think of ways to stage some great shots - like all of the cows lined up walking towards the barn or eating hay at sunset. And, here’s an extra tip: don’t forget Christmas is right around the corner! Brush up on your photography skills this month, and then consider putting some camera upgrades on your Christmas list. It’s a legitimate business expense AND a great Christmas gift all in one! n

COMMENTARY

New Records Set at the 2016 Iowa State Fair Sale of Champions by Evan Rayl

During the prestigious Iowa State Fair Sale of Champions, 16 4-H and FFA exhibitors sell their champion livestock to hometown and national supporters. The animals represent the Grand and Reserve Grand Champions in each of their respective species as selected during The Fair’s livestock shows. The Iowa State Fair features one of the largest livestock shows in the world and winning a class - let alone showing a champion animal - is highly coveted. The Sale of Champions is managed by the Iowa Foundation for Agricultural Advancement (IFAA) and is hosted the last Saturday of the Iowa State Fair in the Cattle Barn’s Penningroth Media Center.

FIVE RECORDS SET AT 2016 IOWA STATE FAIR SALE OF CHAMPIONS With a final swing of the gavel, the Iowa Foundation for Agricultural Advancement (IFAA) raised a record $373,700 for the 16 exhibitors of 4-H and FFA Grand and Reserve Champion livestock in the Sale of Champions Saturday at the 2016 Iowa State Fair. Five champion records were broken during the 2016 Sale. The Grand Champion FFA Market Hog stole the show bringing an all-time record for any species with $53,000, selling for $12,000 more than the record in 2013. The Grand Champion 4-H Market Hog set a new record of $50,500, selling for $2,500 more than the record price set in 2014. The Reserve Champion FFA Market Lamb sold for a record $19,000, besting the previous record of $18,500. The Grand Champion 4-H Market Broilers sold for a record-breaking $8,700, and the Reserve Grand Champion 4-H Market Broilers sold for a record $16,000. Participants in the Sale of Champions were asked to find hometown supporters to set a floor price for bidding. The purchaser in the auction paid the difference between the floor price and the final sale price. Each participant in the Sale takes home a check for 80 percent of the animal’s sale price. The IFAA keeps 20 percent to fund the scholarship program and cover Sale expenses.

I hope everyone is enjoying the Fall/Football Season! I love this time of year almost as much as spring! Plus, my favorite thing is maybe some cooler weather for this chubby, pregnant woman!!! So, I have to talk about some football, my all time favorite sport! Tuck has a teammate on his team and they are so similar, not only in body type but they both seem to be slightly injury prone off the field!! They make this football mom want to put them in a bubble other than for practice but we sure love Q (Quentin) Tuck’s new buddy! Some of Tuck’s injuries the past few weeks have included his leg breaking through a bench and wasps stinging him at the same time. That one resulted in an updated tetanus shot. Tuck also face planted off a golf cart which resulted in a pretty big scrape down his nose and cheekl He scratched up his glasses that he claims he can see through just fine. My favorite story happened at his friend’s house, Austin Evans! I received a call from Rob and April around 8:30 pm and I knew in my gut that Tuck had an accident of some sort. Well, come to find out, Tucker had a fish hook stuck in his eyebrow. Now, one would think they were fishing, but it turned out they were just moving fishing gear for the next day. That made it even a little more comical. Tucker, Austin, and Max Skellenger, the other friend with them, had the best story to tell about the whole incident and I probably had the best laugh I’ve had in a while! Austin was quick to realize what happened and snapped the line with his teeth and better yet, Max was ready to yank it out himself! The ER visit was even more comical with the boys coming back to the little room. After all, they wanted to see the hook come out! Matt now thinks they need to call him “Hook.” BOYS!!!! Taylor definitely has been busy this month, too, with school, gymnastics and helping Matt and Tuck breed sows!! She’s quite the little A.I. Tech these days. She’s also very determined that she will be assisting the doctor in the delivery room for our newest addition to our family in December, with her being the “expert” in delivering baby pigs and all. Yikes! Please keep our military and nation in your constant prayers. The controversy with our National Anthem has really hit home at our house. The anthem to me is a symbol of our country coming together no matter a persons’ race! I’m so incredibly sad people feel they can disrespect a symbol of freedom givin to us by the remarkable men and women in our military. The sacrifice the military has given us as a nation deserves absolute and utmost respect from all of us! God Bless!!!!

Governor’s Charity Steer Show Sets New Sale & Sate Record by Evan Rayl

Records were broken at the 34th Annual Governor’s Charity Steer Show, which raised over $244,000 for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Iowa. This year’s event featured the highest selling auction, including the highest selling steer to date at $35,000. The money raised benefits the Ronald McDonald Houses of Des Moines, Iowa City, and Sioux City. All of the houses are located near hospitals and provide a “home away from home” for families of seriously ill children. The Iowa Beef Industry Council and the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association sponsor the annual steer show and auction. It is hosted by Governor Terry Branstad on August 13, 2016 and held in the Pioneer Livestock Pavilion at the Iowa State Fair. Since its inception, in 1983, the Governor’s Charity Steer Show has raised over $2.9 million for the Ronald McDonald Houses of Iowa. The event included 25 steers, the Iowa youth that raised them, and celebrity showpersons, including Governor Terry Branstad, who competed for the title of “Judge’s Choice.” The official steer show judge for this year’s show was Brent Henningsen from Ames, Iowa. The judge selected the steer “Darb,” shown by Dr. Steven Leath, President of Iowa State University (ISU) for overall Grand Champion honors. District 20 Cattlemen’s

Livestock Plus Inc.

Association sponsored the steer and Friends & Family of District 20 Cattlemen’s Association purchased the steer for $18,000. The steer was raised by Josh Darbyshire of Morning Sun. The steer was named in honor of Josh’s late grandfather. A new all-time record for an individual steer was purchased by Jim & Kathy Stalzer, Don & Judy Stalzer, Beck’s Hybrids and Family & Friends of the Stalzer Family for $35,000. The steer, Escalate, was raised by Jacob Stalzer of Haverhill. This year’s new individual steer record surpassed last year’s record held by James Oil Company, Eslick Family Farms, DMACC and DMACC Agribusinesses, who purchased the steer sponsored by DMACC for $31,000. The steer shown by Jim Keller, Welcome Home Soldier Memorial President, was selected by the crowd for the title of “People’s Choice. The steer, “Fallen Soldier,” was sponsored by the Monroe County Cattlemen and local supporters and purchased by James Oil Company and James Simmentals for $11,000 with additional contributions by the Monroe County Cattlemen and local supporters for $7,500. Nathan Crall of Albia raised that steer. University of Northern Iowa’s Director of Athletics, David Harris, earned the Showmanship Award from Eric Hanson of KCCI 8, who served as the event’s Showmanship Judge. Harris’s steer, “Bubbles,” was sponsored by the Southern Iowa Merchants. The steer was raised by Cole Spoelstra of New Sharon and purchased by J & D McDonalds – David Roberts and Barsema Hurley Ltd for $7,000. Emcees for the show were farm broadcaster Bob Quinn, WHO Radio, and Michelle Rook, WNAX Radio. A special guest appearance from Ronald McDonald kept the show lively. The auctioneers for the auction were Phil Schooley from Bloomfield, Russele Sleep from Bedford, and Jared Miller from Leon. Catching bids alongside the auctioneers were Mike Sorensen, Austin Brandt, and Ross Butler of Livestock Plus, Tom Rooney of The Midwest Marketer, and Jason Lekin of Tama Livestock Auction. n
