ED CATION IN THE TRADE SHOW ST

CKMANSHIP DEMONSTRATION ARENA STEWARDSHIP

Panels sponsored by This area will feature NCBA’s Stockmanship and Stewardship program, sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health and the checkoff-funded Beef Quality Assurance program. These sessions will teach handling methods that improve gathering, penning, chute work and hauling on horseback and on foot. Much emphasis is placed on ways to increase cattle performance by reducing handling stress. Interactive discussions show how cattlemen can shape consumer’s perception of beef. Other topics include how the principles presented have a significant economic - as well as “quality of life” - benefit when applied in a cattle enterprise. Cattle handling experts Curt Pate, Ron Gill, and special guests will teach each of these informative sessions. COLT STARTING Watch one of the best in the business properly prepare a young horse for its first saddling and first ride. You’ll enjoy seeing Curt work with the horse’s natural instincts to gain trust while instilling respect and control. Even if you don’t break horses yourself, Curt’s demonstration is enjoyable to watch and offers many tips for anyone who handles horses. (Curt Pate) RANCH HORSEMANSHIP Join Curt as he covers the basics of a horse that is safe, effective and handy for any livestock operation. Whether you are a novice horse owner or seasoned stockman, you’re sure to get something useful from this session. (Curt Pate) HANDLING YOUNG CATTLE Calves often don’t think, act or respond the same as older cattle. So proper first interaction can make a big difference as to how they handle and perform as mature stock. (Dr. Ron Gill and Curt Pate) FOCUS ON THE FAMILY When it comes to working cattle, don’t forget your low-stress-family-handling principles, too. (Dr. Ron Gill, Curt Pate, Tammy Pate) CALF BRANDING No matter how your outfit brands, learn strategies that can reduce livestock stress and increase performance. (Dr. Ron Gill and Curt Pate) BQA: IT ALL STARTS WITH THE CALF! Handling and processing calves using BQA principles lays the foundation for success from gate to plate. (Dr. Ron Gill)

DEMONSTRATION ARENA INSTRUCTORS CURT PATE

For more than a decade, Curt has conducted demonstrations and clinics on stockmanship, colt starting, horsemanship and safety. His abilities conducting both horsemanship and stockmanship demonstrations, along with his ability as an effective communicator, make him one of the most sought-after clinicians on both the national and international scene. In addition to devoting his time conducting stockmanship presentations, he manages his own ranch operation in Montana. With his ability to think outside the box, his ability to challenge others to do the same, and a willingness to share his skills, Curt has set himself apart in conducting stockmanship clinics. His lifelong experience in ranching adds credibility and enables him to communicate his methods effectively to cattle ranchers throughout the country. Recognized for his horsemanship skills, Curt has been selected by the American Quarter Horse Association to serve as an AQHA Professional Horseman as well as their Regional Experienced Clinician.

WWW.NCBA.ORG

DR. RON GILL

Dr. Ronald Gill is professor and extension livestock specialist for Texas AgriLife Extension. In addition, he serves as Associate Department Head and Program Leader for extension animal science faculty. Gill continues to provide leadership in Extension programming related to animal well-being and low-stress livestock handling and assists in providing leadership to statewide programming efforts for Beef Safety and Quality Assurance programming. Other interests include beef cattle and equine nutritional management and value added marketing. Gill received the Vice Chancellor’s Award in Excellence on two separate occasions for his support and performance as a member of an Interdisciplinary Team implementing Standardized Performance Analysis (SPA) program for Texas beef cattle producers, and for his contributions on the Beef Quality Assurance Team. Gill has also been recognized as the Specialist of the Year by the Texas County Agricultural Agents Association.

TODD MCCARTNEY

Rancher, cowboy and family man, Todd McCartney, manages the family’s cowcalf operation alongside his wife, Marianne, and their 5 children. Located in the rugged rangeland near Throckmorton, Texas, their cowherd is Red Angus based and their ranch horse program’s roots trace back to the infancy of the American Quarter Horse Association. Although Todd keeps their day-to-day ranch work close to western tradition, he implements cutting edge management practices that keep the outfit “punchy yet progressive… to remain profitable.” As co-founder of NCBA’s Stockmanship & Stewardship initiative, Todd’s passion for effective cattle handling creates not only a hunger to practice it daily but to preach it just a little bit as well. Despite his sunrise to dark-thirty duties at home, Todd cracks out a few times a year with team members Dr. Ron Gill, Curt Pate and Dr. Dean Fish to share with national audiences the techniques and benefits of effective stockmanship, good stewardship and the western way of life.

DEAN FISH

R. Dean Fish, PhD is the Ranch Manger for the Santa Fe Ranch and a member of the NCBA Stockmanship and Stewardship Team. As the Ranch Manager for the

Santa Fe Ranch Foundation, he works to develop problem solving research for his fellow beef producers. The Foundation also works to get kids outdoors through agricultural literacy, hiking, camping and learning about the environment. Dean also raises commercial Angus cattle and club calves. He is currently on the Arizona Beef Council and is a Board Member of the Arizona Cattle Growers Association. Dean has served in a leadership role for many livestock and service organizations. In addition, Dean has worked with Todd McCartney, Dr. Ron Gill and Curt Pate planning and delivering Stockmanship and Stewardship at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Cattle Industry Conference and Trade Show. Dean is passionate about spreading the Stockmanship and Stewardship message, as he has seen the benefits in his own and other operations where the principles are implemented.

TAMMY PATE

Tammy Pate is proud to be known as a cowboy’s wife. Born into a Montana ranching family, Tammy grew up with a steer-wresting father and sisters that “rode from the time we could barely walk.” Her grandmother instilled in her the values of ranching life, a deep respect for nature and the practical skills needed to succeed. Tammy married Curt and together they deepened their horsemanship and developed innovative and gentle ways of training horses, keeping the stress levels low on horses, cattle and people. Over the years, Tammy discovered yoga and its parallels to horsemanship.
