MIKE SORENSEN ~ SALES 641-745-7949 mike@livestockplusinc.com
Greetings, I guess I must have missed summer vacation, where did it go? I have bits and pieces of the month of June for vacation, I missed it all. Sale season is again just around the corner, and we are off to run the roads again. This was a pretty laid back summer, ain’t done a lot but sure seemed like it took a long time to do it. One of the highlights was my trip to Tennessee River Music in Fort Payne, Alabama. Austin Brandt and I made the trip and had a great time. One of the highlights of the trip was the stop at Hagy’s Catfish Hotel in Shiloh, TN; managed by Barbara & Joey McAfee. Billy Ashe and his lovely wife met us there, under Billy’s recommendations. We will just say that these folks wrote the book on catfish, it was unbelievable. I had never eaten hush puppies in my life, Billy made me try them and let’s just say I may try them again. Google this place, it has an amazing history. Thanks Billy, for a great time. I sure want to watch the progress of your Hereford bull, so keep me posted.
$10 OFF Muck Boots!
Muir
Next on our trip was Crazy K Ranch. The word that describes this place best is: unbelievable. You just have to go to their website and read the history. Unbelievable! These folks came up with a plan and a perfect plan it was, you can get married, have a reception, and buy a herd of some of the best angus genetics available in a one stop shopping center. A cowboy's dream come true! Thanks so much for the tour. Next, to Fort Payne Alabama. Randa, John Starnes, Kelly and Randy Owen, I have never been treated to more hospitality than Tennessee River Music. If you are in the Hereford or Angus business, you need to treat yourself to this sale. I guess all I can say to complete this part of our trip is HAMMER DOWN (inside joke, ask if you want). Thanks to all involved at Tennessee River Music. A long trip home but worth every minute of the ride. Thanks Austin, and all the folks we met on the way. County fair season is pretty much over, hope everyone got along good. State Fairs are on top of us, good luck to all involved. Travel safe, meet new friends, and make memories. Sale season is fast approaching and we would sure like to help you with your upcoming sale. We cover Iowa and all states that touch Iowa, plus mail into 40 more states, with one ad, one price, one publication. Give us a try. As Dixie and I sit here and talk, we, or rather, she has decided that I’m not going off on one of my rants, but PLEASE keep all of our law enforcement and military folks, as well as their families, in your thoughts and prayers. God Bless

United States and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli.
COMMENTARY
A Little Bit About a Whole Lot of Things by Evan Rayl
At the 2002 Beef Federation Meeting in Omaha, one of the very best speakers I have ever heard was on the program, talking about farm management and various ways to measure progress or failure. His name was Barry Dunn and he was from South Dakota State College, Brookings. A couple years later, I heard him again at the VerMeer Building at Pella, Iowa during the annual Cow-Calf Conference. After he spoke I got a chance to visit with him briefly. Then, just when I thought Barry was one who would bring forth real direction for the future in Middle America, I heard, he headed to Southern Texas to manage the Kleberg Endowed Chair at the King Ranch Institute for Ranch Management located at Texas A & M, Kingsville, Texas. He held that position for six years. In 1975, Barry earned his B.S. Degree in Biology, followed by an M.S. in 1977 and Ph.D. in 2000, both in Animal Science. From 1997 to 2004, he worked as an Extension livestock specialist and assistant professor in the Department of Animal and Range Science. Barry, along with his wife and sons also ranched near Mission, S.D. for 17 years. Since 2010, Barry has been back on the Brookings campus devoting his time to education and teaching. Currently, he was director of the Extension Program and the endowed Dean of the South Dakota Corn Utilization Council. Now he will be the next President of the University. Congratulations, Dr. Barry Dunn. I’m excited about your appointment. I do not like broccoli. I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. I’m President of the

When Dow and DuPont announced their plans to merge their two agricultural divisions into one major agricultural company, speculation began as to where the headquarters would be, in Johnston, Iowa or Indianapolis, Indiana. DuPont Pioneer is currently headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, while Dow Agro-Sciences is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Last week, top officials of the soon to be merged entity announced that both Indiana and Iowa will be home to the major parts of the newly created company. While the official headquarters will be designated as being in Wilmington, Delaware, the bulk of the new operation will be split between Indiana and Iowa. I don’t know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God. Harlan Ritchie, a beloved husband, father, colleague and my friend, passed away in late April, 2016. He was born in August 1935 to Donald and Irma (Johanson) Ritchie in Storm Lake, Iowa. He graduated from Albert City High School in 1953. After graduating from Iowa State in Animal Husbandry, Dr. Ritchie began his Michigan State University career as an assistant instructor in 1957 and became a full professor of Animal Science in 1971. Harlan’s career at MSU spanned close to five decades. During that time, he helped many producers in Michigan, nationally, and internationaly improve production, management, and animal welfare of their stock. A couple little stories involving Harlan I’ve never told before, except to very few people: As a student at Iowa State, Harlan was showing a Poland China gilt in the Little International. The gilt was refusing to curl up her tail for the show. Harlan knew I had considerable experience showing hogs as a 4-Her, so he enlisted me

to help get the gilt to curl her tail. We made three trips to a drug store in downtown Ames, but the last time we found something that would cause her to curl her tail for at least an hour. By the way, she won her class! After our college days, for about ten years, he and I would meet in the southeast corner of the show ring when the crowd could go into the ring to inspect the Angus sale bulls that would sell later in the afternoon. We would discuss bulls to use that summer on Harlan’s Angus cows. Harlan was a wonderful guy and I’m extremely pleased to say he was my friend. They only name things after you when you’re dead or really old. A new livestock ship is now available for shipping large groups of animals. The MV Ocean Shearer is largely based on the proven and successful design of Welland’s MV Ocean Drover. The ninety million dollar vessel has the capacity to transport 20,000 cattle or 75,000 sheep or a combination of both, and is suited to trans-hemisphere routes. It carrys enough fuel to travel 18,000 miles. Plus it can carry 3,000 tons of feed and 350 tons of fresh water. This boat is nearly two football fields long. The MV Ocean Shearer has a ventilation system that is greater than 0.5 meters/second across all pen areas. Air movement is greater than 100 air changes per hour. Boat speed is 18 knots. This vessel was launched at the COSCO ship yard in Dalian, China and is officially the world’s largest livestock vessel. There is a God and he is good, and his love, while free, has a self imposed cost. We must be good to one another. Animals cannot digest plastic any better than we can. Birthday, wedding, and graduation celebrations often include releasing helium balloons. What a sight to see as the balloons are released to the sky to float away. However, that is about where this fairytale ends. The balloons actually do not just float away never to be seen again. “I don’t think people realize the balloons don’t just keep going up forever. They come back down, often in important areas for wildlife and in the ocean,” said Dwayne Elmore, Oklahoma State University
56
Livestock Plus Inc.
Extension Wildlife Specialist. Released helium balloons and wind blown plastic grocery sacks can’t be ingested by animals, plus they can become entangled. Pictures of wildlife species from all over the world suffering from human trash are shown throughout the internet. Not only is it a hazard for wildlife, it’s simply littering, Elmore said. The fact is prosperity has a purpose. It is to allow us to pursue ”the better angles” to give us time to think and grow. For the twenty five years during which Shirley and I ran a construction company and raised our three children, we lived in Adair, Iowa. Looking back, we think it was a good place to raise our family and a good place to live. Now we are learning this small town with the smiley face water tower was and is still a good place to stop to eat on Interstate 80, about 45 miles west of Des Moines. First, the ‘Chuckwagon Restaurant,’ just off the Interstate and on the west side of the road into town won the Best Burger Contest sponsored by the Iowa Beef Industry Council and the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association. The restaurant is owned and operated by Kim Reha. She has owned the restaurant for 10 years and is now only 30 years old. Next, is ‘Zip’s Pizzeria,’ winner of the Travel Iowa’s Pizza Madness Contest. Zip’s is at the east end on the north side of the two block long main street. This pizza house is owned by Jim and Tammy Zimmerline. Jim is a good friend of our youngest son, Steve. Jim’s parents, Bob and Judy are good friends of Shirley and myself. Jim and Tammy openned their restaurant in 2012. Since Adair is our old hometown, we have tried both restaurants. They both are real good and I wouldn’t want to choose between them. Its great to have two winners in a town with only 800 people! The anchor in our world today is freedom, holding us steady in times of change, a symbol of hope to all the world. All of the quotes this month are from George H. W. Bush, 41st President of the United States. n

In Memory of Dan Kiesling Son, husband, brother, and maybe the most important title in our little family, UNCLE. Dan Kiesling was my brother-in-law and married to Jessica, my husband Matt’s, sister. From the moment Dan and Jessica came into our lives, they have made our kids feel so important, special and loved. Dan left our little family a pretty amazing gift; his Kiesling family in Michigan. Tucker’s teacher from school reached out to us this week with condolences and mentioned that Tuck had prayed for his Uncle Dan every day at school. It’s been a tough year of fighting that horrible disease, we all HATE cancer. Please continue to keep Dan’s wife, Jessica, along with his parents, siblings and nephews/nieces in your prayers. We sure appreciate and love all the people who have already reached out. We will sure be missing Dan .... Heidi Sorensen Rohrig Daniel Kiesling, age 34 of Williamston passed away Monday July 11, 2016 at University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor after a battle with lymphoma and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. A Mass of Christian Burial was held 10am Saturday July 16, 2016 at St. Paul Catholic Church in Owosso with Father Mark Rutherford and Father Ryan Riley officiating. Interment was at St. Mary’s Cemetery in Corunna. Daniel was born February 14, 1982 the son of Dean and Linda (Riley) Kiesling at Owosso Memorial Healthcare. He graduated from Perry High School in 2000. Dan was active in 4-H, FFA, and student government. He served as President of the Michigan Association of FFA from 2000-2001. Dan received his Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from Michigan State University. As a college student, Dan was active in Block & Bridle (serving as club president), competed on MSU’s intercollegiate livestock and meats judging teams, and worked at the MSU Sheep Teaching & Research Center. Daniel earned his Master’s degree from Iowa State University in Animal Science, while serving as the graduate student Shepherd at the Iowa State Sheep Teaching Farm. While there, Dan met Jessica Rohrig. They married on May 29, 2011 at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Ames, Iowa. Daniel was an Animal Sciences faculty member at the University of Arizona from 2010-2015. At the U of A, his titles included Livestock Judging Coach, academic advisor, lecturer, and club advisor to the Collegiate Cattle/Livestock Growers Association. In 2015, Dan came home, joining the faculty at Michigan State University in the Animal Science Department. He was an Academic Specialist coordinating the livestock industries (formerly beef and swine management) certificate program for the Institute of Agricultural Technology and coaching the MSU Livestock Judging Team. Dan was a member of the American Society of Animal Scientists. Daniel was an active member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Williamston. He was very involved in animal agriculture not only in his community but throughout the country, loving to judge a county fair. Daniel was a mentor, a friend, an educator, a leader, a professor, an avid sports fan - cheering for the Spartans, Cyclones, Wildcats, Tigers, Lions, and Red Wings; and a beloved husband. Not only did he have a passion for the livestock industry but for the young people as well. He had a heart to serve others. Daniel is survived by wife Jessica; his parents Dean and Linda Kiesling; his father and mother-in-law Brian and Kathy Rohrig; his sister Karen (Charles) Scovill, nephews Nathan and Alexander; brothers Tim Kiesling and Brian (Kim), niece Brenna and nephews Henry and Clark; brother-in-law Matt (Heidi), nephew Tucker and niece Taylor; and several beloved aunts and uncles, cousins and many special friends. Memorial contributions are suggested for an endowment in Dan’s name for the students and livestock judging team at Michigan State. Contributions can be directed to Michigan State University, Department of Animal Science, in memory of Dan Kiesling.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer! Working on the State Fair Issue of the magazine, I feel like I don’t have many summer days left. We at the Rohrig house, have had lots of ups and downs this summer!! The kids are way pumped that we live only a mile from our pigs now and officially are residents of Orient. It’s been kind of a rough move with no one letting me do too much heavy lifting. This is all because we will be adding one more little Rohrig to the clan in December, God willing. It’s also been a pretty tough summer losing a couple pretty important guys to our families. First, Dick St. Clair, a pretty great cattleman from Jefferson, Iowa. This guy made time for the kids and me and always made us feel like we were family. The next was an incredibly special person to our family. Matt’s and my brother-in-law, Dan Kiesling. Matt’s sister, Jessica brought Dan into our lives and the kids absolutely loved them like they’ve always been Uncle Dan and Aunt Jessica. As Tucker said the other night after Dan’s visitation, “Cancer makes me mad! I don’t get a chance to make any more memories with Dan.” My heart breaks that I can’t fix it for him Dan & Jessica Kiesling, or for Jessica, and Dan’s family. Heidi & Matt, We keep telling the kids that Kathy & Brian Rohrig God has Dan in His loving arms Tucker & Taylor now, but it’s so hard even for us adults to not be selfish and still want more time. If I learned anything from hearing all the stories about my brother-in-law, lean on God and LOVE your families with all you’ve got. Like I told the kiddos, you never know when you will get another chance to be loving and kind to others! God has given us a chance to love our families and friends, let’s not waste it! Please don't forget to keep our military and our nation in your prayers. God Bless, Heidi Sorensen Rohrig • 661-900-6004 heidi@livestockplusinc.com • www.livestockplusinc.com
