ESSAGE

hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that “ We they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Howdy Folks,

riting this letter on the eve of our country’s birthday, I reflect on the words of Thomas Jefferson—Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. Our founding fathers were men of vision, courage and forethought. I researched some of their sayings and will share them with you here:

Laws made by common consent must not be trampled on by individuals. — George Washington Property is surely a right of mankind as real as liberty. — John Adams All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent. — Thomas Jefferson Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories. — Thomas Jefferson I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. — Thomas Jefferson I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever. — Thomas Jefferson My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government. — Thomas Jefferson No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms. — Thomas Jefferson Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe. — Thomas Jefferson It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible. — George Washington The basis of our political system is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government. — George Washington

These are just a few of their thoughts and concerns from the beginnings of our country. Do you see anything that was bothersome to them that may be affecting us today? I have been to all the regional meetings and am glad to have gotten to visit with a lot of old friends and got to meet some new ones. These regional meetings are a good way to visit about problems affecting that region more than others. I hope that all members of these regions can be at these meetings and have their concerns heard. All one has to do is turn on the TV, read a periodical, or listen to the radio to see that we Americans are slowly losing rights that our forefathers fought and died for. We are America – a symbol of freedom throughout the world, we need to keep our leaders reminded of that. May God Bless us, Bert Ancell, President – Ecclessiastes 10:10 Using a dull ax requires great strength, so sharpen the blade. That’s the value of wisdom; it helps you succeed.

USDA livestock rule draws mixed reaction by TOM STEEVER, Brownfield he Grain Inspection, Packers & Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) is proposing rule changes that USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack says will protect producers against unfair or retaliatory practices in livestock marketing. In a conference call in mid June, the Secretary said the proposed rule addresses fairness. “It’s about making sure the playing field is level for the people that put in, in some cases, most of the capital and a great deal of the labor, and have seen over the course of time their margins squeezed considerably,” said Secretary Vilsack, speaking from USDA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. “We’ve seen a rather substantial decline in the number of people who can compete, and who can produce, and who can participate in what they want to do, which is to farm.” Among other things, Vilsack says specifically, the rule will improve transparency by making sample contracts available for producers to view online. The proposed rule announced on June 19, 2010 would provide: n Provide further definition to practices that are unfair, unjustly discriminatory or deceptive, including outlining actions that are retaliatory in nature, efforts that would limit a producer’s legal rights, or representations that would be fraudulent or misleading. Additionally, the proposed rule reiterates USDA’s position that a producer need not overcome unnecessary obstacles and have to always prove a harm to competition when they have suffered a violation under the Act; n Define undue or unreasonable preferences or advantages; n Establish new protections for producers required to provide expensive capital upgrades to their growing facilities, including protections to ensure producers have the opportunity to recoup 80 percent of the cost of a required capital investment; n Prohibit packers from purchasing, acquiring or receiving livestock from other packers, and communicate prices to competitors; n Enable a fair and equitable process for producers that choose to use arbitration to remedy a dispute. Additionally, clear and conspicuous print in the contract will be required to ensure producers are provided the option to decline the use of arbitration to settle a dispute; n Require that companies paying growers under a tournament system provide the same base pay to growers that raise the same type and kind of poultry, including ensuring that the growers pay

3-PHASE POWER ANYWHERE!

APPLICATIONS

Phase-A-Matic, Inc. Phase Converters are used when three-phase lines are not available or are cost prohibitive. The phase converter will run virtually any 3phase machine at any single-phase location. Advances in converter technology have resulted in low price, high performance and reliability closely resembling three-phase line power. This enables us to provide the required power for CNC and other voltage-sensitive equipment.

Phase-A-Matic, Inc. Rotary Phase Converters run all common three-phase machine shop equipment, providing the power necessary to run all load types – including CNC/PLC, transmitters, lasers, welders, battery chargers, heating elements, etc. Whatever the load type – motor, resistive, induction, or transformer load – our Rotary Converter will power it. Phase-A-Matic, Inc. has been providing phase conversion for the home shop machinist, the industrial machinist, the farmer in agricultural use, for food processing equipment, the woodworking industry, the metalworking industry, medical equipment, elevators, etc. The Rotary Converter is designed to operate as modules with the ability to be connected in parallel to produce any required output, no matter how large. With fuel prices skyrocketing, diesel generators are now being replaced with Phase-A-Matic, Inc. Rotary Phase Converters. Bring your request to us and we will supply the right conversion for your application.

ROTARY CONVERTER RELIABILITY – MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) Failure rate (MTBF) is so low it’s almost impossible to determine. We find that within the first 12 months approximately 1 in 150 might have a problem, and usually within a few weeks or months. After the first 12 months, it might be one or less in 10,000 over a 35-year period. We continue to hear of our Rotary Converters that have been in service for 25 or 30 years or more, and which are still working flawlessly. It could go on to do another 25 or 30 years. The reason for the reliability is fairly obvious. Phase-A-Matic, Inc. Rotary Converters do not have start capacitors or contactors or mechanical connections of any kind as most other converters do, which contributes to and is usually the most common cause of failure. All connections are soldered, which is not feasible with other designs. Even though some other manufacturers claim to use Baldor motors, they still have start capacitors and switch gear, which we have eliminated by working with Baldor for approximately 2 years to develop the way these are engineered. It pays to buy Phase-A-Matic, Inc. for long life and high reliability. There is very little to go wrong with the Rotary Converter.

long-term dependability. It is the quietest rotary converter on the market, and the best quality available anywhere. It meets your concerns in delivering the critical uptime and reliability your operation requires.

COMPANY REPUTATION & BENEFITS Professional, available technical support for proper sizing and installation, consistent product reliability and immediate delivery from stock for most items are core components of the strength of the company and its esteemed reputation. Phase-A-Matic, Inc. phase converters range from 1/3 to 500 HP or more. We have the right converter to meet your needs in delivering economical, reliable and true 3-phase power of the highest quality, thus providing the dependability and uptime you must have.

Secretary Vilsack cited concerns that he said relate to increasing consolidation and vertical integration in the livestock and poultry marketplace, and shrinking farm numbers. He stated that in 1980, there were over 666,000 hog farms, but today only 71,000 are in operation. In the cattle industry, there were over 1.6 million farms in 1980, but only roughly 950,000 today.

Further, Secretary Vilsack pointed out that in the hog industry, producers received 50 percent of the retail value of a hog in 1980, but in 2009, only 24.5 percent of the retail value goes to the producer. He said that cattle producers received 62 percent of the retail value of a steer in 1980, but only 42.5 percent in 2009. In the poultry industry today, Vilsack said that growers average 34 cents per bird, while the processing company on average makes $3.23 a bird. Vilsack acknowledged that “Rural America has struggled for some time,” as a result of shrinking farm numbers and a general decline in competition in livestock markets. “Over the course of my lifetime, we’ve

lost over a million farm families,” Vilsack said Friday. “Certainly livestock producers across the country are no strangers to this notion of struggle.” The group R-CALF USA is pleased with the GIPSA proposal. “This proposed rule corrects the core problem that prevents U.S. cattle farmers and ranchers from obtaining relief from the anticompetitive practices of the highly concentrated meatpackers and will help restore competition to our industry by providing a means to discipline anticompetitive behavior,” said R-CALF President Max Thornsberry, in prepared comments. Other provisions in the proposed rule include a requirement that meatpackers retain written records to justify differential prices offered to livestock sellers, a prohi-

bition to prevent two or more meatpackers from using a single cattle buyer to procure cattle, and a prohibition to prevent meatpackers from trading live cattle among themselves. “While more must be done to reestablish a fully functioning competitive market for independent U.S. cattle producers, this is definitely a positive start,” Thornsberry concluded. Still, other groups differ in their view of the GIPSA proposal. The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) is wary of the changes. “In general, we have serious concerns with any efforts to increase government intrusion in the marketplace,” said Steve Foglesong, president of the NCBA, in a news release from that organization. “Cat-

tle producers support free-market principles and we deserve the right to enter into private negotiations between willing buyers and sellers.” Meanwhile, American Farm Bureau Federation President (AFBF) Bob Stallman praised the rules, citing the sections on capital investment, which he pointed out, would reduce requirements for new investments in modifications of farm buildings. “These continuous modifications keep producers in debt and minimize their ability to negotiate reasonable contracts,” said Stallman, quoted in a news release. “Farm Bureau believes the contracting companies should justify the mandatory modification of facilities, and this proposed rule would require that justification.”

The National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) says it is carefully reviewing details of the proposed changes to the Packers and Stockyards Act contained in the 2008 Farm Bill. A news release issued by the NPPC says the change may limit pork producers’ options in selling pigs to processors. Among numerous changes to the law, the proposed rule would redefine what constitutes an “undue or unreasonable preference or advantage” in a livestock contract. “We don’t want to see producer marketing options limited by overly broad government regulations that negatively impact pork producers’ bottom line,” said NPPC President Sam Carney, a pork producer from Adair, Iowa, quoted in the release.

The American Meat Institute (AMI) had the harshest words for USDA and its proposal. It accused USDA of “attempting to turn the clock back on the livestock and meat marketing practices that have made the U.S. meat production system the envy of the world.” AMI says the proposal “could potentially cause harm and enormous disruption.” “This is not guaranteeing success,” said Secretary Vilsack, during the conference call, “this is just making sure that if you do play by the rules and you work hard and you’re willing to make investments, that you’ve got a shot at success.” GIPSA is taking comments on the proposal until August 23.

It’s not about saving species — IT’S ABOUT SPENDING TAXPAYER MONEY AND MAKING SOME GROUPS WEALTHY

ere is some disappointing data regarding Endangered Species Act (ESA) and its cost to the American public. ESA process and litigation are NOT about saving species, it is about spending American taxpayer money. In an economic time where American jobs are scarce, private property rights are being taken and the federal deficit is trillions of dollars, certainly the federal government can find a better way to spend American taxpayer dollars than lining the pockets of radical environmental groups and their “pro bono” (i.e. allegedly free) attorneys and spending money on a program that by the federal government’s data is a complete failure. The ESA was signed into law in 1978 with the best of intentions. However, over the years it has become the battle cry to eliminate private property rights and prop-

erty use, shut down agriculture and other industries and fund radical environmental group and their attorneys. There is not a single state within the United States that does not have listed, threatened or endangered species. It would not be so bad if the original intent of the ESA was followed and species were listed, then recovered, then removed from the list—but that is not what is happening. As of May 17, 2010, there are a total of 1,374 species listed as threatened or endangered. This list includes everything, even bugs, worms, plants, snakes, spiders, bogs, moss, mice, rats and other species. According to a 2009 report by Greenwire citing the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS), the average cost of listing a single species is $85,000 and the average cost of designating critical habitat is $515,000 per species. Thus, the approximate cost to the American taxpayer of listing the 1,374 continued on page 20

FACT: Preventing PI calves is more important than preventing fetal infections. Bovi-Shield GOLD FP is labeled to prevent BVD PI calves and offer a duration of immunity for 365 days. Vista, Express FP and Pyramid can’t make that claim. FACT: More veterinarians recommend Bovi-Shield GOLD FP over any other modified-live reproductive vaccine.1

No wonder other vaccines try to compare to Bovi-Shield GOLD.

ing species, that is not the end of the story. The ESA sets very specific time frames for species listing and critical habitat designation; time frames which the federal government cannot seem to meet. Species are listed by a petition process, which means that anyone can send a letter to the federal government asking that a species, either plant or animal, be put on the ESA list. The federal government has 90 days to respond to that petition, no matter how frivolous. If the federal government fails to respond in 90 days, the petitioner — in the vast majority of cases, radical environmental groups — can file litigation against the federal

3 Ranch

government and get its attorneys fees paid. The simple act of filing litigation does not mean the species will get listed or that it is warranted to be protected; this litigation is only over whether the federal government failed to respond to the petition in 90 days. Between 2000 and 2009, in just 12 states and the District of Columbia, 14 environmental groups filed 180 federal court complaints to get species listed under the ESA and were paid $11,743,287 in attorneys fees and costs. Again, there are listed ESA species in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Territories. Consider how much in attorneys fees have been paid if all litigation in all states is considered. And it doesn’t end there; the federal agencies have placed 341 more species on the candidate species list, meaning that they are under consideration for listing on the ESA threatened or endangered species list. That is 341 species times the average cost of listing of $85,000 per species and $515,000 for each critical habitat designation for a total of $204,600,000 — all from America’s pocketbooks. And it still doesn’t end there; certain radical environmental groups have petitioned for additional listings of even more species and critical habitat designations. In the last eight (8) months, the Center for Biological Diversity, the WildEarth Guardians (WEG) and the Western Watersheds Project (WWP) have threatened the federal government with litigation if the government fails to list 238 more species. If the federal government does not respond to those listing petitions or Notices of Intent to Sue, federal court complaints will be filed and according to recent history, attorneys fees will be paid. And with all this money — $116,790,000 for species listing; $707,610,000 for critical habitat designation; $11,743,287 in attorneys fees paid to some radical environmental groups because the federal government simply missed deadlines — only 47 species have been taken off the ESA list and of that 47 only 21 because they were recovered. That is a 1.5 percent success rate! The other 26 species were taken off the list because they either went extinct (9 species) or should never have been put on the list in the first place (17 species). There is something wrong with this picture. While you are thinking about the ESA and its cost versus failure rate, consider the additional individual costs to American continued on page 22

taxpayers and small businesses. The California red and yellow-legged frogs have cost the taxpayers $445,924 just in litigation attorneys fees. Part of the reason that California farmers in the Central Valley have no water for their crops is because of Natural Resources Defense Council litigation over the delta smelt, a 2to 3-inch long minnow. Wolf litigation has cost American taxpayers $436,762 in attorney fees, all paid to environmental groups who sue the federal government. Litigation over the desert tortoise, (a total of 11 cases) — a species that only spends five percent of its life above ground — has cost the American taxpayers $702,519 just in payment of attorneys fees. In fact, in the last 10 years, the federal government has spent more than $93 million in taxpayer money on the desert tortoise. That is not counting the costs to American business, even “green business.” In California, Brightsource Energy will have to spend $20 million dollars to relocate 20 tortoises plus create a permanent tortoise trust fund so it can build its solar power plant. That is $1 million plus per tortoise. Other businesses that have been impacted or stopped by the desert tortoise include a wind farm that would supply electricity to Las Vegas. Private landowners who wish to develop their own property are required to pay “mitigation fees” of between $370 and $550 per acre to develop private lands designated as desert tortoise critical habitat. Once the money is paid, it does not matter how many desert tortoises are killed. The Hyundai auto company had to buy 3,000 acres of additional land for $5 million so that it could use its own private property for a car safety test track. In addition to the $5 million, the company also agreed to pay $1.5 million into an endowment fund for the desert tortoise. The National Military Training Center at Ft. Irwin has also been negatively impacted, agreeing to pay $6.9 million to relocate desert tortoises on the base so it can conduct its military training. None of this counts the over 30 family ranches that were eliminated because they used to graze their cattle on desert tortoise critical habitat. It is clear that the American taxpayers have a tremendous problem. This wouldn’t be so hard to take if the ESA was successful or if the radical environmental groups that are getting taxpayer money to litigate over continued on page 24

the ESA were spending money on species or their habitats. However, there is no evidence that one single dime of the money the federal government pays to environmental groups to litigate over ESA species is spent on habitat or species research or mitigation projects — the money is just spent to get more taxpayer money and put more small businesses out of business or stop private landowners from using their properties. Even those businesses that supply “green jobs” and “green technology” suffer. This is a maddening state of affairs for America — somewhere the madness must stop! Karen Budd-Falen is working with the Western Legacy Alliance (WLA), http://www.westernlegacyalliance.org , to educate the public on ESA and fee payment issues. The group has gotten H.R. 4717 and S. 3122, the “Open EAJA Act of 2010” in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate respectively. Work is currently being done to gather sponsors for each of these measures so that hearings can be held.

“The Cowboy Way” named Best Overall Publication at American Horse Publications Awards fter only two-and-a-half-years in print, the Journal of the PARAGON Foundation The Cowboy Way won the “Best Overall Publication” Award at Saturday night’s American Horse Publication’s annual award ceremony. The award — equivalent to the Oscar’s Best Picture category for the world of equine publishing — marked a big evening for the PARAGON Foundation, publisher of the title. In addition to “Best Overall Publication,” The Cowboy Way won “Best Association Magazine — Circulation 15,000 and Over” for the second straight year; “Part of His String” by photographer Adam Jahiel

was first in the “Open Editorial HumanAnimal Bond Photography” category and the Fall 2009 issue’s cover and inside editorial spread — with photos by Myron Beck — received Second place for “Best Cover Design” and Honorable Mention for “Editorial Design.” The Cowboy Way is a quarterly journal, published by the New Mexico-based PARAGON Foundation, a non-partisan, non-profit foundation that supports and promotes Constitutional principles and citizen empowerment along with the culture and customs of the rural West and the nation. The magazine focuses on the pri-

mary point that — as was intended by the Founders — sovereignty rests within individual citizens and, no matter a citizen’s political stance, every American has an equal say. The magazine is currently the principle method by which the PARAGON Foundation outreaches it’s message while it continues to work on the construction of its Constitutional Resource Center — an online, searchable information service providing raw, unabridged Constitutional data and facts for individual citizens, institutions and law firms. Readership and subscriptions have grown dramatically over the last eighteen months as the editorial mission of the publication has appeared to resonate with readers regarding current n Constitutional issues.

We ranch in rough country too... have for 40 years. Most trailers can’t handle it. So we make ones that can. Ranch Tough ... at a Fair Price

RANCH FEATURES ~ RANCH TOUGH ~ RA NCH

PRICES

e have been using gooseneck trailers on our ranches for almost 40 years. We operate ranches in about 5 different counties of West Texas (The Big Bend Area). The country is big and it takes a lot of acres per cow. Therefore we pull trailers many miles over a lot of rough roads and it is pretty tough on trailers and equipment. We have spent a good deal of time fixing and repairing trailers over the years and have come up with some ideas to make the trailers more durable. These ideas and years of handson experience have been incorporated into these trailers. I think you will find our trailer a very tough practical trailer that you can use in the harshest of conditions and it will hold up for you. The reason for our non-rusting gap design on the bottom of our trailer is because even in our dry West Texas country, after a few years the manure will pile up in the front end and down the sides of the trailer and will rust out the metal around the bottom of our trailers. We left about an inch gap between the floor and the side of our trailer so this manure won’t stack up in front or along the sides of the trailer. We found that the hoof action of the animal in the trailer breaks up the manure and pushes it out the sides of the trailer through the inch gap. It is a self-cleaning design. We found a hitch that allowed us to run a cable though a pulley in the nose of our trailers so we can latch and unlatch our trailers (while standing at the jack

handle) without having to crawl over the side of the pick-up. It didn’t bother me when I was a kid, now I look for easier ways to do things. Talking about easier ways of doing things, I don’t know how many times I have seen someone get the gate kicked back on top of them while trying to close it. A guy just kind of holds his breath until he gets that rear gate latched before that wild bull or yearling kicks the gate back in his face. We have come up with a real stout spring loaded pin that is set inside a pipe to keep the manure, dirt, and mud out of the spring action. These rear gates can be slammed shut while you are standing out of the line of fire. We like the rubber torsion axles as it eliminated all the problems we had in the past with broken springs, U-bolts, center pins, & equalizers. There are just a lot less things that can go wrong underneath your trailer. That is one of the reasons for using heavy 2x4 rectangle tubing instead of the standard angle iron for the bottom frame of our trailer. I have had the angle iron break on me before but I don’t think this tubing will. We have built this trailer to last for years and be trouble free. That’s why we keep all our wiring up inside steel to protect it from getting drug off by mesquite and other brush.

The “paralyzing” principle he Gulf oil spill is having all sorts of nasty consequences well beyond damage to the regional environment and economy. Not least, the resulting political panic seems to be rehabilitating the thoroughly discredited theory of regulation known as the “precautionary principle,” says the Wall Street Journal. This principle holds that government should attempt to prevent any risk — regardless of the costs involved, however minor the benefits and even without

understanding what those risks really are. Developed in the late 1960s, this theory served as the intellectual architecture for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which is still required to eliminate certain environmental risks no matter how expensive or pointless the effort is. This same mentality is now prompting not merely tighter safety standards, but President Obama’s moratorium on all new deep water drilling, shutting down dozens of Gulf and Alaskan projects, maybe permanently, says the Journal: Last month, 26 Democrats demanded that the government fold up BP’s other

major Gulf operation, Atlantis, “to ensure that the explosion and mishap of the Horizon platform are not replicated.” Meanwhile, Governor Charlie Crist and other Florida politicians want a Gulf drilling ban unto eternity, and the California, Washington and Oregon Senate delegations want one for the West Coast, too. “Without a permanent ban on drilling off our shores,” said Dianne Feinstein, “there is no guarantee whatsoever that this will not happen again.” In other words, the precautionary principle is back with a vengeance, says the Journal.

Food prices to rise between now and 2019, except for one protein by DANI FRIEDLAND / meatingplace.com ood prices are expected to go up between now and 2019. Dietary changes and a growing population will drive the increase, according to a report released by the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The annual agricultural forecast says growing swine herds in Brazil and China will likely keep pork prices in check as other food prices increase over 1997-2006 levels. On average, prices will remain below the levels they reached during the 2007 and 2008 price spike. Beef and pork prices did not go up during that period, and the forecast calls for these costs to increase by 10 percent to 20 percent by 2019 as compared to 2007-2008 levels. Lower supplies and higher feed costs are behind the predicted increase in livestock prices, as well as increasing demand for meat and processed food in developing n countries with rising income levels.

Capturing the Spirit by

Kathy Winkler

“I have visited ranches and parks from Virginia to the Rockies, north to the Dakotas and south to Texas looking for potential subjects for my paintings. When I visit, I study the animals, watching how they move and how they watch. I watch them sometimes for hours. When I see them being themselves, I take photos for future painting prospects. When I paint them, I attempt to capture the spirit that they are, not just what they are. When I paint, I emphasize the subject and not the background, in order to allow them to better reveal who they are. When I paint, I attempt to create a connection between these beautiful animals and their human observers. Animals are far more complex and intelligent than many people believe. I believe that much ancestral knowledge about animal to human connection has been lost over time. Through the images I paint, I try to show how deeply connected we really are.”

bullhorn New “Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner.” Advertising Features Popular Lean Beef Cuts Campaign Builds on One of Most Recognizable Taglines in Advertising History

he new “Beef It’s What’s For Dinner.” consumer advertising campaign is premiering this month with an emphasis on helping Americans become more familiar with the 29 lean cuts of beef. With a “29 Lean Cuts. One Powerful Protein.” tagline, the new campaign will feature the nutritional benefits and versatility of six lean beef favorites: T-Bone steak, Filet, Top Sirloin, Strip steak, Top Round and 95 percent Lean Ground Beef. It may surprise Americans to know that 63 percent of all beef muscle cuts available at grocery stores are lean1. In fact, 15 of the top 20 (most popular beef cuts at the grocery store are lean. To learn about all 29 cuts, go to BeefItsWhatsForDinner.com. “This campaign reinforces consumers’ passion for the great flavor beef provides, while helping consumers identify the variety of lean options beef offers,” said Weldon Wynn, rancher from Star City, Arkansas, and vice chair of the industry’s Joint Advertising Committee. Beef farmers and ranchers from across the country direct the Beef Checkoff-funded “Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner.” campaign. “I’m proud to be part of this exciting venture in helping Americans get to know the many great tasting lean beef cuts available,” said Wynn. Getting to Know Beef’s Different Personalities

The new print advertisements feature plated shots of beef with an homage to each cut’s personality. For example, the T-Bone advertisement zeroes in on a beauty shot of the steak and points out: “When all the steaks get together, they call this one boss.” The ad for the Filet Mignon, also known as the Tenderloin, reassures you that “’mignon’ is just fancy talk for mouthwatering.”

The print advertisements will appear in monthly national magazines with an emphasis on food, health/fitness, parenting, lifestyle and men’s sports. Radio spots on nationally syndicated radio shows and satellite radio, combined with an outdoor advertising campaign in select markets, will follow shortly after the print ads launch. Public relations, health professional outreach, social media and retail promotional efforts round out this integrated effort. Lean Beef Offers the Power of Protein

It is clear that lean beef is important to Americans when you consider that 69 percent of consumers say buying lean cuts of meat is the most important thing to consider when shopping for food2. “Most Americans are surprised to learn there are 29 cuts of beef that qualify as lean. In fact 70 percent of consumers are not aware one of their favorite steaks, the T-Bone, is lean,” said Kim Essex, senior vice president for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, which contracts to manage advertising programs for the Beef Checkoff. “This campaign sheds light on the variety of lean beef choices out there, as well as how they can be a part of a delicious family meal.” For more information, triple-tested beef recipes and preparation tips, please visit BeefItsWhatsForDinner.com or type in “Beef For Dinner” on your mobile device. 1 Freshlook Marketing Group, the leading U.S. source of grocery scanner data for meat and produce purchasing, 52 weeks ending 3/26/10. 2IPSOS Public Affairs for The Beef Checkoff, December 2009. 3USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, Release 22, 2009. 4Fulgoni VL, 3rd.

Beef Seminars In Barbados (and Other Foreign Events)

he Beef Checkoff Program recently teamed up with the U.S. Dairy Export Council in Barbados on two all-island seminars featuring the concept of pairing foods under the “Umami” umbrella of flavor development. The July 1 seminars were held in the residence of the U.S. ambassador, and a mini-trade show was offered between the two seminars and after the events. Taking A Little Texas To Russia. Thanks to checkoff funding – including direct investment from the Texas Beef Council – the “Texas Beef Weeks” Festival in St. Petersburg was a major three-week event in March. At the festival, the checkoff regaled participants with a special “Texas Menu,” featuring a variety of well-marbled U.S. steaks and burgers – along with popular side items including baked beans and onion rings. Budget-conscious Japanese families are looking for value as they dine out less frequently. But the beef checkoff is helping make dining out on a budget more possible. With assistance from the checkoff, Gusto – a family restaurant chain in Japan – held a highly successful U.S. steak promotion featuring U.S. chuck eye roll. Sales outstripped expectations as more than 1 million pounds of U.S. beef sold out just halfway through the three-month promotion. For additional information: www.usmef.org offers reports on the activities of the U.S. Meat Export Federation, including many beef checkoff programs managed by the organization, and offers extensive information about international meat trade.

Beef Checkoff Launches Interactive Meat Case

eredith Stevens, manager of digital media for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, contractor to the Beef Checkoff Program, highlights a new tool that launched in June, the Interactive Meat Case, found on the checkoff-funded website, Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner.com. Because today’s meat case is brimming with exciting new choices and traditional favorites, the Interactive Meat Case was designed to help shoppers learn more about the variety of nutritious and satisfying beef cuts available, plus find cut descriptions, recipes, cooking tips and more. Stevens explains where the idea came from in developing this tool and what the checkoff hopes to accomplish by launching the Interactive Meat Case, “We wanted to make sure that they can learn about cuts that they’ve seen, cuts that they’re familiar with that they maybe don’t have the full spectrum of knowledge of how to get the best quality and value from that cut, and maybe also those cuts that they’ve never cooked with before.” The checkoff, in conjunction with the market research team, conducted beta testing with foodies, moms, dads, bloggers, media representatives and others to get their feedback before launching the Interactive Meat Case. Stevens says the tool was ultimately designed to assist consumers in having great beef-eating experiences each and every time they sit down to a meal. Visit the Interactive Meat Case today by going to www.BeefItsWhatsForDinner.com. You’ll find it in the “shopping for beef” drop-down menu. And for information on other efforts being funded with your beef checkoff investment, visit www.MyBeefCheckoff.com.

USMEF Hosts Taiwanese Media Team for US Beef Industry Tour

hile exports of U.S. beef to Taiwan are performing extremely well, the industry is still working to counter any lingering negative publicity surrounding the recent return of bone-in U.S. beef cuts to Taiwan. With this goal in mind, USMEF recently hosted a team of five senior journalists from Taiwan for a week-long educational tour of U.S. beef production, processing and merchandising methods. The tour, supported by the Beef Checkoff Program and Market Access Program (MAP), showcased the quality, safety and versatility of U.S. beef. The first stop was New York City, where team members were introduced to the dryaging methods used at high-end restaurants. The group made several stops in Manhattan’s famous Meatpacking District, visiting some of the area’s finest butcher shops, restaurants and delis. They also toured major retailers and the Union Square Farmers Market. The team stopped next in Denver at USMEF headquarters for a presentation on USMEF’s history and current programs by USMEF Assistant Vice President John Hinners and an overview of global beef production, consumption and export trends

by USMEF Economist Erin Daley. The tour then focused on beef production as the group traveled to the Agricultural Research, Development and Educational Center (ARDEC) at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colo. Team members also got a firsthand look at purebred seedstock production at the Aristocrat Angus Ranch near Patteville, Colo. U.S. beef exports to Taiwan have set new value records in each of the past five years, and this pattern is likely to continue. Through the first quarter of 2010, exports to Taiwan totaled 8,488 metric tons (18.7 million pounds) valued at $45 million. This is an increase of 85 percent in volume and 95 percent in value over January-March 2009.

What Has The Checkoff’s Consumer Information Program Area Done For Me Lately?

eef Promo at Publix – The American National CattleWomen, along with industry partners, are gearing up for an upcoming retail promotion at the top 125 Publix stores located in Georgia and Florida on July 31, 2010. Retail manufacturers are coming on board to tie-in and cross promote products during a recipe demo sampling of a National Beef Cook-Off Winning Recipe, entitled ‘Boneless Beef Steak Zucchini Gnocchi’. Six hours of demos are scheduled to take place in 63 Publix stores in Georgia and 62 Publix stores in Florida.

Promoting Protein’s Role in Bone Health – The checkoff continues to provide health professional influencers and nutrition media with science-based research and resources that showcase protein’s role in optimal health. In May, the nutrition team conducted outreach to health professionals and credentialed media, promoting research that suggests protein may play a vital role in bone health. The research was distributed electronically to more than 275 health professional influencers and nutrition media contacts.

ith the election still months away, we are already being bombarded by negative campaign commercials day and night, the news on the federal financial picture is gloomier by the day, and the state budget is no prize (no offense intended to any legislator by this statement . . . they played the hand they were dealt), we are fortunate to have state agents to take our minds off these big troubles — with even bigger troubles. The New Mexico Environment Department’s (NMED) Air Quality Bureau (AQB) has a mere SIX (6) rulemaking proposals scheduled before the Environmental Improvement Board (EIB) between July and December. The EIB offers plenty of challenges in and of

itself. You may remember that this is the group who adopted California’s auto emissions standards by reference in the middle of the night back in 2008. Those standards are taking full effect with the model 2011 automobiles sold in New Mexico this year. You can look for a price increase of $3,000 to $5,000 per vehicle. Just what the doctor ordered for this economy. There are seven (7) “lay” people (those who don’t necessarily have to have any background in the subjects at hand) appointed by the Governor that make up the EIB. At this point five (5) of those learned individuals reside in Santa Fe, one in Albuquerque and one in Las Cruces. You can bet they are in tune with the needs of the entire state, especially the

rural areas. It is worth noting that Albuquerque, as well as the tribes and pueblos, are not even regulated by the EIB. Even better is the fact that the makeup of the group includes at least two fulltime professionals vested in conflict with those of us who believe in free enterprise, private property rights, and all those other pesky things that keep “environmentalists” from taking over the world . . . at least so far. On the other end of the spectrum is EIB member Leland Gould, Chairman of the New Mexico Oil & Gas Association (NMOGA). Although we may not agree with him about everything, he probably comes closer to our point of view than most of the rest of the continued on page 38

tions including one on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the EIB will also be taking up the New Energy Environment’s (NEE) cap petition in August as well. It should be laughable that one of the nation’s least populated states with little industrial capacity should be contemplating even one cap and trade proposal — instead we have two. The New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association (NMCGA), the New Mexico Wool Growers, Inc. and the New Mexico Federal Lands Council (NMFLC) are all doing their best to follow these issues, but there is no way the livestock industry — or very many industries — can afford legal representation to participate in all of these rule-makings that will eventually impact every New Mexican.

Board. And he is so outnumbered that it is admirable that he takes the time to attend these meetings. Although there is lip service given to being open to the “public,” each of the multiple processes before the EIB has its own legal steps that must be followed. If you want to provide “meaningful” testimony, you must first file notice that you are going to file “technical’ written testimony; then you have to file written testimony. You may have to file rebuttal testimony and when the hearing on the issue rolls around, you must stand for crossexamination by not only the EIB, but virtually anyone in the room who would like to question you, including any number of attorneys. It is not a process to be entered into lightly and one that you generally will need an attorney to work you through — and that’s the advice of the NMED. Of course, as a member of the “public,” you can come and say anything you want during the “public” portion of the hearing, but there no requirement that the EIB pay any attention at all to public testimony. In addition to the NMED’s six peti-

And that’s not all . . .

he NMED is at the attack in the water arena as well. We have talked several times over the past two years about the attempt to have the Water Quality Control Commission (WQCC) make a sweeping designation of waters in New Mexico as Outstanding National Resource Waters (ONRWs). It all started with a petition from the Forest

Guardians (now Wildearth Guardians) to make all waters in U.S. Forest Service Roadless and Wilderness areas ONRWs. That was followed with a 2008 Earth Day proclamation by Governor Bill Richardson calling for the same thing which would involve more than 5,000 miles of streams falling under the designation. After countless meetings and letters in addition to a memorial from the Legislature asking for the NMED to petition for designation on a stream-by-stream basis when science warranted it, the Department is charging forward with the WQCC to get a sweeping designation before the end of this year. The petition is much reduced from where it started two years ago, but it is a moving target. Rather than following their own regulations, the WQCC accepted the petition for hearing WITHOUT documentation on as much as 80 percent of the proposed designated streams in early March. Since then, the NMED has revised the petition and the WQCC hearing officer has accepted the amended petition without public or WQCC review. The ONRW hearing is scheduled for mid September continued on page 40

at nearly exactly the same time as the EIB NMED GHG petition — so we don’t just need one set of lawyers to play in the game, we need at least two sets. (It is worth noting that these hearings fall right on top of State Fair Junior Week and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C., so if you have some spare time that week, just let us know!) But the WQCC and the NMED have a slightly different set of rules for their processes. Because hearings become so long when you let “technical” experts actually testify and be cross-examined in person, they have a short circuit. ALL testimony has to be pre-filed, with prefiled cross-examination and pre-filed rebuttal. When the actual hearing rolls around, you, as a technical witness, have three (3) minutes to summarize your written testimony prior to cross examination by the Commission and the attorneys present. That’s not the worst of it. New Mexico’s dairy industry has been under direct assault by NMED with a set of regulations that could literally cripple the

industry that is already in dire financial straits due to the milk makers. The dairy guys have been in hearings with the WQCC since about April and there is no telling how many hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent by industry alone in this case. To demonstrate industry unity, I took the time to sit in for part of the hearing in mid June. About two hours was all the time I had or could stand. All but about 10 minutes of those two hours was consumed by objections and arguments over who could say what and how or breaks to consult attorneys. The dairyman who was named in the issue was trying to give his three minutes. The moment he referred to the exhibits he had submitted with his testimony there was an objection raised by the environmental lawyers as well as the NMED attorney. It seems that the poor man had merely referenced his exhibits in his written testimony — he had not overtly incorporated them, therefore, he was not allowed by the hearing officer to even mention them in his three minute summary. When hairs are split this fine, I don’t see how anyone can say that it is a public

And please, tell your legislators and county commissioners to take notice of what is happening to us.

“It seems that the poor man had merely referenced his exhibits in his written testimony – he had not overtly incorporated them.”

The WQCC has a different make up than the EIB. It is made up of the heads (or their designees) of the 15 state agencies that are concerned with water quality along with three governor appointees. In essence, it is a totally governor appointed group, but there is some expertise among some of the members in the issues at hand. While these issues are all specific to New Mexico, I would bet that are similar things happening in many other states. The Forest Guardians made no bones about the fact that they intended to use the ONRW strategy to remove grazing and productive use from the land when they started their petition.

be a small, but really loud group of environmentalists clothed in camo that the wildlife belongs to the public and the public has the right to enjoy and hunt it wherever it might reside. Private property rights be damned. That group has leveled a vicious attack at the New Mexico Department of Game & Fish in the media over the past several weeks. The group has made it clear that they intend to “eliminate the incentives that have helped provide the abundant populations that now cover the landscape” — my words, not theirs. Their plan is clearly to appeal to the Legislature to change laws that will negatively impact landowners. Our work is going to be cut out for us come January.

ooking at what we are facing, at least in the short term, I sometimes wonder if we can win the fight. My upbringing reminds me that you can’t win if you aren’t in the game. The members we work for are tireless in their desire to keep their families on the land for generations to come, but you have wonder if anyone is listening out there. The more than 400 people who made their way to Ruidoso for some part of the summer meeting is one good reason to think that we ARE still in the game. We thank all of those folks along with all of the sponsors who donated time, goods and funds to make sure that we had an affordable registration fee. But it is the individual acts that are telling, too. Last week we received a letter from a gentleman from New York. He said he had been reading this column for years and based on the past few months decided that it was time for him to become a member of NMCGA. He also sent a $100 bill and a stamped envelope for us to forward to one of the memorial funds for my friend Rob Krentz. We may be reaching them one at a time, but we are touching the folks. n

Livestock Brands Valuable Property in New Mexico livestock brand is more than a mark of ownership for ranchers in New Mexico. Brands carry the history and tradition of the families that own them, and often have for generations. These brands are also property, with strength unique to New Mexico, according to the New Mexico Livestock Board (NMLB), the state agency charged with registering, tracking and protecting the state’s livestock and brands. Brands have identified cattle in the Southwest since the time of the Spaniards, and New Mexico has had a brand system in place since shortly after the NMLB was established in 1887. Of the fifteen Western states that use brands to identify livestock, only in New Mexico are livestock required by law to be branded. Owners depend on the NMLB to protect their property, preventing theft and misuse of the brand. However brands, which carry title just like any other property, are only as strong as owners make them. “Some people give too little respect to the integrity of the ownership of a registered brand in New Mexico,” said Myles Culbertson, Director of the New Mexico

Livestock Board. “This has often resulted in difficulties, hard feelings and problems that did not have to happen if people had just taken more care when they registered their brand and used it on their livestock.” Brands must be registered with the NMLB, and people need to carefully consider the details of that registration. “Brand owners need to be deliberate in decisions about the recorded ownership of their brands. Every situation is different, and people need to make those decisions carefully so that the future is anticipated and accommodated,” Culbertson said. “We want to help people anticipate what may be needed to ensure the brand’s survivability and transferability in case of death, divorce, or other significant change in the family.” The succession and form of ownership whether a brand is registered to an individual, partnership, or corporation — all need to be carefully considered and the proper documentation needs to be in place with the NMLB. When brands are registered to an entity other than an individual, the NMLB should have on file the names of those with legal authority to make changes or decisions regarding the brand.

When brands are registered to a family with more than one name listed, the format of the listing, whether they are connected by “and” or “or” is another important decision. When “and” is used, no one person can legally make changes without the others, while using “or” essentially gives each individual listed the power to act alone. This can and does impact the authority to make decisions not only about the brand, but about the livestock bearing that brand. When brands are registered to a deceased individual, only the legal representative of the estate can make decisions or changes with the NMLB. The chain of title for a brand should be as well protected and documented as the chain of title on land, Culbertson explained. “The brand is the final arbiter of ownership of livestock in New Mexico, and there is a lot we can do to protect livestock and owners in most situations,” he continued. “However, people can make decisions regarding their brands that tie the hands of the New Mexico Livestock Board and our ability to protect that brand. The title of a brand is as strong as a land title itself, but if you don’t do it right the neglected details in that title can be as corrosive as good diligence could have been protective.” Serious problems can develop for a brand owner because of decisions made regarding the use of the brand.

NMLB does not recognize a lease or other instrument modifying rights of possession or strength of ownership of a registered brand, when those types of agreements are entered into, they can take away the ability for the Livestock Board to enforce the brand laws under statute, leaving only the civil courts as a remedy. What appears to be a convenience based on good will and expectations of perpetually reliable relationship can turn into a nightmare when a dispute arises and the brand has been compromised. The NMLB can be put into a position of being unable to take action because of some agreement that may have been signed previously. “It can take away any ability for us to intervene to protect the owner and the integrity of the brand,” Culbertson said. “It can compromise the ability for the brand to be the final arbiter of ownership.” Sometimes, a family’s brand is registered to several members joined by “or” (for example “Jane or Bob or Tom Smith”). This form of registration makes any of those individuals alone the owner of the brand, authorized to do business regarding the affected livestock. The NMLB has witnessed cases wherein one of the “or” brand owners has bought, sold, mortgaged or otherwise made business decisions against the wishes of the other owners, doing much damage to the family businesses and to the families themselves. “Again, we can take no position because the individuals in cases like these are legally registered owners of the brand and the NMLB must respect the name in the title of the brand,” Culbertson noted. “Our brands are often a family tradition, and we tend to take for granted that all is well,” Culbertson concluded. “However, people need to understand what can happen when they do not take proper care of the brand.” “Nevertheless,” Culbertson noted, “done right, the registered brand in New Mexico is the irrefutable determinant of livestock ownership.” The 2010 Brand Books are now available for $50 from the New Mexico Livestock Board. This year’s book includes a special section on the history of the NMLB and an exclusive Max Evans article.

he image of the Great American Cowboy has been idolized and vilified over and over since it was created in the latter part of the Nineteenth Century. Though most cowboys never asked for either, the image of a

cowboy has become iconic. What that means is different throughout the world. People from around the globe have visions of “cowboys” when they think of Americans. A lot of Americans think of cowboys as anyone who comes from the western

part of the United States, wears cowboytype clothing and listens to country music! Most of us a little closer to the subject realize things are not always as they appear. Being a cowboy is uniquely American though. The occupation of being a cowboy got its start during the 1800s in the southwestern United States. It’s a direct spin-off of the Mexican vaqueros who had been tending to stock for years prior in Mexico and what was to become the American Southwest. It is commonly theorized that after the War Between the States, the country was hungry for beef. A lot of it was discovered running wild in Texas and other parts of the Southwest. This led to entrepreneurs who dared chase after the “mavericks” as the wild cattle were called. These men went into the untamed lands in search of large herds of cattle while seeking their fortunes. Gathering wild cattle and then getting them to market in other parts of the country were the men given credit with being the first of the “cowboy” occupation. The cowboy occupation was never an easy one. It required a certain type of individual who was long on stamina, independence, and wasn’t afraid of hard work or dangerous encounters — encounters that could include a whole assortment of wild creatures besides the feral cattle and highspirited horses the men worked with. It always took a bold type of individual to be a cowboy. Couple that with the fact most of their work was done hours, even days, maybe weeks away from the nearest civilization, and you can see why less hardy prospects got weeded out in a hurry. As time went on, ranching evolved from wild trail drives into the raising of cattle on large wide open spaces of the West. While civilization encroached upon the West, the cowboy occupation continued to evolve and change with it. One thing America should never forget is these early individuals of the cowboy occupation had a huge role in the taming and settling of the Western Frontier. Cowboys were always admired for the fact they took great pride in their work. It’s not just anybody who can be turned loose on thousands of acres of wild country and be asked to go doctor, gather, or tend to unwilling bovine solo. Cowboys usually did this without help or supervision . . . without thanks or “atta boys.” Cowboys were known to possess a work ethic second to none. continued on page 49

What is a Cowboy

continued from page 48

Early day cowboys were loyal, honest, respectful, hard working and independent with a clear sense of right and wrong, and maybe even a little “wild.” They owed these things to their employer because he entrusted them with a lot. To have the reputation of “top hand” meant you were well respected and could land a job just about anywhere. Cowboys were expected to do the right thing without being told; if you were shiftless, lazy, or a slacker your bad reputation usually preceded you. Individuals lacking in desirable qualities were soon run out of the country (I think they went back east and became politicians). The first to portray and romanticize this cowboy image were the paperback novels written by predominately eastern authors and then sold around the world. Most of those stories were greatly sensationalized in the interest of selling books. Next came the moving picture shows where cowboy stories were again sensationalized in the interest of sales. As Hollywood and media began to publicize the image of the cowboy around the world there was some truth to the basis of their stories (or at least we like to think so). Your original cowboys were trail blazers of the American West. They generally possessed the character traits discussed earlier, so the stories told about them in print and in movies weren’t such a far leap. The storytellers were the first however to start the ball rolling on what was later to become the “cowboy image” so popular worldwide. Guys like Tom Mix, Roy Rogers, John Wayne; books by Louis Lamour and Zane Grey were some of the most recognizable public images of the 20th century. To be a cowboy was not necessarily linked to punchin’ cows at that point and time; it had a lot to do with how you looked and more importantly with how you acted and presented yourself. If you took time to help those in need, if you were of strong moral character, if you were a hard worker, independent and unwavering in your convictions, you were thought to have the characteristics of a cowboy. What started off as merely an occupation was transforming into a way of life and also as a description of character. If you pay attention to news media, anytime somebody displays the characteristics of independence, doing things their own way, standing up for what they think is right, are hard workers but maybe a little bit on the wild side, they are liable to be

labeled as being “cowboy.” Sometimes this is done with admiration, and other times it is done without respect. The word cowboy is not only used to refer to a way of life, but also a certain attitude. It says more about who you are than about what you do for a living in modern times. There are thousands of “cowboys” out there who don’t have one thing to do with getting beef to market. On the other hand,

there are a whole lot of people who own, produce, and market beef who definitely are not cowboys. Whether you work cattle for a living or not does not necessarily qualify you or unqualify you to have the distinction of being known as a cowboy today. Being called a cowboy lumps you in continued on page 50

with a whole class of people uniquely their own. The cowboy image invokes thoughts of stalwart men in Stetson hats riding horses in the great outdoors. Are there degrees of being a cowboy? Sure . . . to some there are. Kind of like the guy who was a “lifer” in the Marine Corps. He may be considered “more Marine” than the guy who was in there only four years, but I will guarantee you the guy who was in there for four years will still tell you he is a Marine and “once a Marine, always a Marine.” The same goes for cowboys. The guy who is living on a ranch fifty miles from the nearest town may be considered more

of a real cowboy by some, but he is also the first to appreciate the cowboy who lives on the edge of town and works there. You see, that guy has created a better market for good horses and better beef and that guy helps to perpetuate the cowboy image to the world. Could the actor John Wayne have ridden into the brush or mountains on a half broke horse with sixty feet of rope, a couple of dogs, routed out a wild cow, her calf, and driven them a few miles into a corral? Then single handedly branded, loaded and hauled the critters off to market? Probably not. Most working cowhands can, but in my opinion John Wayne was one of the greatest images of the American Cowboy there ever was. Maybe some people are

more of a cowboy than others . . . but in the eyes of the general public we are all just lumped into one big category. Whether a person works on the range or lives on an acre with a horse in the back yard, cowboys have common threads. Most generally you will find they have ties to ranching or agriculture somewhere deep in their roots. More often than not they still have ties to being rural whether it is through hunting, living in the country, horses, raising animals, or just how they dress. Aside from those superficial qualifications you can almost always find the characteristics of those original trail blazin’ cowboys in their character. In my younger days, I worked as a cowboy (yep, the occupation). At the time I thought unless you held the occupation of punchin’ cows you could not be considered a real cowboy. I realize now it was only youthful ignorance that caused me to think that way. Today I have a much broader view of what being a cowboy is. In my travels, I have met people who work in the movie business, construction, sell tires, weekend ropers, rodeo folk, businessmen, and several variations of occupations all whom I consider to be cowboys. Don’t forget cowboys come in the female version, also. They are called cowgirls. You could insert the word cowgirl for cowboy anywhere in this story and it would still read true. I guess, to me, any person who displays cowboy characteristics, seems to be mostly rural in nature and is one of those great individuals out there promoting the western way of life could be considered a cowboy. As with any group of people, some cowboys rise to great heights of accomplishment; but like their predecessors, most modern day cowboys are too humble to be “braggarts” or “toot their own horn.” They are too busy doing their own thing to worry about such nonsense. Most cowboy / cowgirl characters remain unsung heroes when they accomplish greatness. These modern day cowboy stories are usually pretty entertaining and I love to hear about them; I love to tell them. I believe America and the world over needs to know more about people like “my cowboy heroes.” Let’s promote the good people do instead of always sensationalizing the bad is my motto. Well, anyways, that’s my take on cowboys and what it means to be one. You may have a different opinion on the subject. If so, I’d love to hear about it . . . it’s what I do n . . . I write about cowboys!

New Mexico’s Old Times and Old Timers

A President’s Lackey According to Some: Frank W. Angel any incidents of violence in territorial New Mexico were parochial because the importance of them did not extend beyond jurisdiction in which they occurred. One that had international consequences, though, was the murder of John Henry Tunstall on February 18, 1878 in Lincoln County. Young Tunstall — he was 24 years of age when he was killed — was a British subject who arrived in New Mexico in 1876. He intended to make his fortune in Lincoln County, with the help of his father’s fortune. His problem was that he went into mercantile competition with the local Murphy-Dolan interests, and they were a part of the famed Santa Fe Ring, which generally controlled the territory’s economy. For some of the shortersighted members of the Ring, killing Tun-

stall seemed the easiest way to eliminate a competitor who had become a thorny problem. Big mistake. The federal government in Washington, D. C. had been hearing bad things about New Mexico for some time. There was a land-ownership dispute going on in Colfax County; Governor Samuel B. Axtell and U. S. District Attorney Thomas Catron stood accused of corruption; and then a British subject was wantonly murdered in Lincoln County. Sir Edward Thornton, British minister to the United States was distressed. Something had to

be done! President Rutherford B. Hayes undertook to learn the facts of the situation in New Mexico, and he had just the man for the job: Frank Warner Angel.1 Angel was a native of New York, born there in 1845. He had passed the bar in 1869. Most important, though, was that he had been a strong Hayes supporter and he’d worked diligently in the presidential campaign of 1876. After Hayes was elected, Angel made it known to the president that he desired an appointment to a government post in the West. Officially, both the Department of Justice and the Department of the Interior appointed Angel and designated him as “special agent.” He was instructed to look into all the troubles mentioned above. Angel arrived in Santa Fe in early May 1878. He conferred with Axtell and Catron — both of whom are reported to have been somewhat uncooperative — before he set out for Lincoln County on the 10th of the same month. While in Lincoln, he took hundreds of pages of depositions and investigated the activities of the Mescalero Indian agent, Frederick C. Godfroy. It is important to put Angel’s visit in perspective. By the time he arrived in Lincoln, Billy the Kid and eight or so of his partners in crime, on April 1, had already murdered Sheriff William Brady in revenge of Tunsdall’s murder, but the climax of the Lincoln County War had not yet occurred; the so-called Five Days Battle of July 15-19, 1878. It should not be supposed that Angel left Lincoln to avoid the conflict. He perceived that his work there was done. His other duties called him to Colfax County where he was to further study what seemed to be a New Mexican propensity for violence. The information Angel amassed in Lincoln County secured for him a place in New Mexico history. The depositions he took from the major players in the Lincoln County War, detailed first-person statements, are frequently cited by those who have seriously studied that unfortunate conflict. He was personally not significant in the affairs of the time. Historian Robert Utley says this about him: “He turned out to be a young man of moderate ability, persistent though somewhat careless and imprecise in gathering evidence, and susceptible to occasional lapses of the continued on page 54

judicial detachment implied by his honorific title [Judge].” Angel returned east after about four months in New Mexico, and set about writing his reports. By the time he personally briefed President Hayes, Godfroy had already been permitted to resign as Mescalero Indian agent and Axtell had been suspended as governor and Lew Wallace appointed. Tom Catron also resigned as U. S. District Attorney for the territory. Not everyone was happy with the changes. The Las Vegas Gazette for September 14, 1878 declaimed thus: “We infer from the action of the President directly after the return of Frank Warren [sic] Angel to the capital that the quarrel between him and Gov. Axtell had more to do with the latter’s removal than any misdemeanors in office. Mr. Angel is a satrap of Carl Schurz [Secretary of the Interior] sent out [with] instructions that if any one presumed to differ with you, ‘refer them to me.’ Angel got mad, went off huffy, reported Axtell, and Schurz at once recommended removal. This remarkable power was vested in the hands of a young fledgling who while here exhibited no signs of ordinary ability.” By the way, Englishman Sir Edward Thornton identified three men as responsible for killing John Tunstall: Buck Morton, Tom Hill and Jesse Evans. Two of them, Morton and Hill, were shot to death long before Angel arrived in New Mexico. Evans fled to Texas and was never prosecuted for the murder. Angel did not apparently return to the West. One biographical source indicates that he held assorted political jobs for the remainder of his life. He died of a cerebral hemorrhage at Jersey City, New Jersey on March 15, 1906. 1 Several sources report that Angel’s middle name was Warner. William A. Keleher in Violence in Lincoln County proclaimed that his middle name was Warren. Robert Utley in High Noon in Lincoln avoids the problem by indexing the name as Frank W. Angel. Howard R. Lamar in The Far Southwest: 1846-1912, A Territorial History, spells the last name Angell. Jon Tuska in Billy the Kid: His Life and Legend refers to him as Judge Angel. No source found indicates any judicial experience for Angel, and at 33 years of n age, it is unlikely that he had any.

George Curtis,INC. REGISTERED ANGUS CATTLE

eorge and Vera Curtis came to New Mexico as small children in the early 1900s. Their parents, arriving in a covered wagon, homesteaded in rural Quay County, New Mexico, on the Llano Estacado. Forrest, New Mexico, was the nearest place of commerce, a community built around a rural schoolhouse where their children of the 1920s and 1930s era received their education. George heard of the Aberdeen Angus breed, and much improved genetics that the breed was known for, and made the decision to acquire a registered Angus herd of his own. Traveling across the U.S. in search of the best genetics that money could buy turned out to be quite an adventure for Mr. Curtis but also a memorable quest for the Curtis children of the era. George Curtis and his youngest son James V. Curtis accepted the challenge of competing with the other top Angus breeders of the 40s and 50s at numerous State and regional competitions including the Denver and Ft. Worth livestock shows. When James V. Curtis (Rip) returned from his world travels, sponsored by the U. S. Air Force, with his wife, a North Carolina native and Air Force registered nurse, Thelma, the Curtis team resumed their Angus breeding venture. As cutting edge technology became available in the form of artificial insemination and embryo transplant, the Curtis family began to utilize these new tools to improve the herd focusing on the genetic traits that most needed improvement both in the industry and on the Curtis ranch. George Curtis’ passing in 1977 and his son’s passing in 1994 left the responsibility of sire selection and herd genetics to the present generation of Curtises. Tamara, Blake and Tye Curtis still operate George Curtis, Inc. today. The Curtis family takes pride in completing three generations in the Registered Angus cattle business. Our pledge is to continue to meet our customers’ expectations of excellence. The easy calving, top gaining, moderate framed stock that the Curtis family has been known for in the past is still available today at George Curtis Inc.

ou may ask yourself why you should choose The Mur-Tex Company and we'd love to give you a few reasons. First and foremost, our products are made right here in the USA! Our manufacturing plant is located in Amarillo, Texas, USA.

Since 1962, Mur-Tex has been a pioneer in the fiberglass tank industry manufacturing quality, innovative fiberglass tanks in accordance with a variety of commercial and military specifications. By using both hand-lay-up (ASTM D 4097) and filament winding (ASTM D 3299) methods, Mur-Tex has the production system in place to manufacture a consistently uniform, quality, extra strong fiberglass tank for any industry. Each tank is custom engineered and designed for its particular application. Over 253 years of combined experience make Mur-Tex one of the largest and most successful fiberglass fabricators in the United States. A degreed

STOCK TANKS • DRINKING WATER TANKS Heavy Duty, Non-Corrosive, Anti-Skid Grip Bottom engineering staff, AutoCAD workstations, automated processing equipment and a complex quality control system assure our ability to meet the demands of each and every customer. Each tank is custom designed for its particular application utilizing premium resins without fillers. The Mur-Tex company began its operations in 1962 with an entry into the marine industry by introducing to the market the first Mur-Tex speed boat. After manufacturing some 600 boats in the 1960's, Mr. Murphy decided to diversify into the newly forming fiberglass tank market. As Mur-Tex forged away at product development and marketing of its fiberglass tanks, the company enjoyed a reputation as a pioneer and quality manufacturer of composite vessels. Now, some 40 years since its first fiberglass tank, Mur-Tex remains an industry leader. Mur-Tex has been consulted by and continues to work with the NRCS for development and requirements for fiber-

glass stock tanks. We are well versed in working with the farmer and rancher helping them meet their needs and requirements. Our delivery staff is knowledgeable and will gladly assist you with each installation. Paramount to its very existence, MurTex adheres to its most cherished policy, adopted some forty-seven years ago, to give individual attention to each customer's job and to produce a finished product that will be a source of pride for the end user, The Mur-Tex Company believes its clients are entitled to expect not only quality, but also competitively priced products delivered on time. And although Mur-Tex is small enough in size to effectively give each and every customer the individual attention they deserve, it’s also large enough to handle mass-production quantities of fabrication work.

“Dedicated to a Tradition of Integrity”

CONGRATULATIONS

Pete & Sarah Gnatkowski 2010 Sheepmen of the Year Thanks Pete & Sarah! The Gnatkowski’s have deep roots in New Mexico’s agriculture industry. They are ranchers, active in their community, parents and grandparents and good friends and neighbors. They are always willing to pitch in and help out to help defend the industry, help a neighbor get his calves branded or deliver a warm meal to a friend in need. Pete’s family started raising medium wool, white faced sheep in central New Mexico over 60 years ago. Sarah joined the family in 1975, and since then it’s been a team effort, whether traveling to meetings, taking a baby lamb to the state legislature, hunting coyotes or raising kids – two of their own, and countless baby goats. They have continued the tradition started by Pete’s parents, Gnat and Janice, who established the Sheep to Shawl booth at the New Mexico State Fair. This exhibit educates thousands of fairgoers each year about the sheep and wool industries. While they no longer spend weeks working the booth and shearing sheep, Pete and Sarah remain very involved, helping to set up and stock the booth with pelts and other sheep products every year. Sarah has been active in the New Mexico Wool Growers Auxiliary for years. She currently serves as treasurer, keeping Auxiliary merchandise on hand at the Roswell Wool Warehouse and taking it to Albuquerque for the State Fair. She is a member of the Canyon CowBelles and serves on the board of the New Horizons Developmental Center in Carrizozo. Pete is the Lincoln County Extension Agent, and almost everyone who has been on a Lincoln County wool judging team in the past 30 years has had his help, whether or not he was officially their coach. He is the New Mexico State Fair Wool Show superintendent. Pete served as NMWGI president from 1992-1994, and over the years has been a member or chairman of most of our committees.

Sarah and Pete Gnatkowski

Beef exports firm as dollar value rises by CEM DAILY LIVESTOCK REPORT, Iowa Farmer Today he U.S. dollar has gained ground against other currencies in the last six months as instability in global equities has caused investors to withdraw from some of the riskier markets and put their money in U.S.$ denominated assets. The U.S. dollar index, a weighted average exchange value of the dollar versus other major currencies, has gained more than six percent since January and in June

was higher than the previous year. The increase in the value of the dollar tends to discourage U.S. meat exports as it effectively increases the price of U.S. beef, pork or poultry even when the price of those goods in the U.S. remains unchanged. Part of the reason for the sharp pullback in cattle and beef futures back in May was due to expectations for softer exports in the second half of the year. Since then, however, U.S. beef exports have remained firm, driven primarily by strong shipments to South

C &M Herefords

Michael & Connie Perez 575/633-2038 901 Quay Rd. 96 Nara Visa NM 88430

Korea, Russia, Japan and Hong Kong. Overall, beef exports remain strong in a number of areas and they continue to grow. South Korea has been the main contributor to this growth. During the period Jan 1 to June 24, total beef exports to S. Korea were 94 percent higher than during the same period a year ago. So far, the growth in exports to S. Korea has contributed 41 percent to the overall increase in U.S. beef exports. Russia also has emerged as a growth market for U.S. beef. Traditionally Russia sources most of its beef in South America, especially Argentina and Brazil. Argentina has the largest per capita beef consumption in the world and in an effort to control domestic beef prices, Argentine authorities have limited the amount of beef available for export. This has decimated their industry and sent Russian buyers to other markets, including the U.S.. Japan and Hong Kong round out the other important n growth areas so far this year.

champion Brahman bull bred and raised by students, faculty and staff at NMSU is not your average bull. The bull named NMSU Garrett Manso 7057 is the leading contender for the 2010 American Brahman Breeders Association (ABBA) Premier Show Bull of the Year. If he wins, he will receive the award in March 2011. The titles the bull has claimed include 11 Grand Championships, seven Reserve Grand Championships, 19 Division Championships and six Reserve Division Championships. NMSU 7057 competed in numerous U.S. Brahman shows from 2008-2010. He finished his showing career at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, where he, as well as NMSU, received international recognition from those in attendance. But NMSU 7057 is more than a great show bull. The study and research programs he was a part of while at the University are significant for livestock production across the state. “Of the $3 billion New Mexico generates in agricultural commodities a year, 75 percent is from the cattle and sheep industries, making the research and work done with cattle at NMSU important for the state,” said Milton Thomas, professor of animal and range sciences and the Gerald Thomas Chair for the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences. The bull was bred and raised by NMSU as part of a historic Brangus breeding program. Undergraduate students helped raise the bull, and graduate students studying reproductive physiology also had the opportunity to work with the animal. “There is value in being able to go out and work with the animals. The students get a hands-on learning experience when working with the animals on campus. It’s what makes us Aggies,” Thomas said. NMSU 7057 has high yield grade potential as a sire, which is based on how much muscle and ribeye area the animal possesses. When sold, he was the highest-selling yearling Brahman bull in the history of marketing Brahman bulls at NMSU. The bull is now owned by Mike and Janet Partin of the Heart Bar Ranch in Montalba, Texas. Mike Partin said, “We feel that NMSU did an outstanding job with this bull as a calf and up until we purchased him. The nutrition program he was raised on certainly helped in his development and they n should be commended on that.”

Broker Accredited Land Consultant (ALC)

ealtors® working in land now must have education and greater competence specific to land. The National Association of Realtors® added the discipline of "land" to the National Association of Realtors® - Code of Ethics in December, 2009. Article 11, of the Realtor® Code of Ethics, says that land is now recognized as a specialized, professional service. Article 11 describes that Realtors® are in violation of the code of ethics if they participate in a land listing or land deal if outside their level of competence and training. Realtors® with little or no training and experience in land sales need to hire a professional with sufficient brokerage experience, such as a professional Accredited Land Consultant, to help them if they wish to work on a land related transaction. Otherwise, the Realtor® must disclose in writing that he or she does not possess expertise, education or competence so parties in deal are aware that the Realtor® they are working with does not have the specific marketing knowledge or training. Knowledge and experience is one of the keys to success in real estate sales. A real estate license allows an agent to sell any kind of real estate. Most select a certain area to work in, a specific market and product to sell. For most Realtors®, it's a type of residential real estate. The World Organization Land Federation (WOLF), The American Land College, and The Realtors® Land Institute each offer advanced land education and marketing courses, lectures and events for real estate practitioners relating to: (1) farm and ranch; (2) undeveloped tracts of land; (3) transitional and

development land; (4) subdivision and wholesaling of lots; and (5) site selection and assemblage of land parcels (6) land development and land brokerage; (7) Site Selection. (8) Timber. Each of these organizations offer valuable classes real estate agents and brokers can complete to fully understand all the options and operations in the land brokerage business. And each offers instruction and mentorship leading to various land brokerage designations. The ALC (Accredited Land Consultant) designation is one such designation a land broker can attain and is indicative of a broker who has conscientiously applied themselves, to acquire the knowledge and practice of a professional. Agents and brokers should take advantage of the educational opportunities available specific to marketing and selling farms, ranches, timber, land development that will enhance their credibility with clients, streamline learning, and accelerate earnings potential. Realtors® who list and sell anything specialized need to make sure they are in compliance with Article 11 of the National Association of Realtors® – Code of Ethics.

We continue to specialize in large working cattle ranches priced to sell based on today’s economic conditions. These ranches are poised to have substantial appreciation when the market turns.

Southwest Brangus Breeders Initiate Youth Heifer Program embers of the Southwest Brangus Breeders Association (SWBBA) are offering youngsters in their region of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado a unique opportunity to show a heifer in the months to come. Under a memorandum of understanding (MOU) approved at the SWBBA annual meeting in Ruidoso in late June, 4-H or FFA members may receive a registered Brangus heifer along with feed and expense funding to prepare a heifer to compete in the Arizona National or other appropriate show. The heifer will be transferred into the youth’s name for the duration of the project and the youngster must become a member of the International Junior Brangus Breeders Association. Additionally, the youth will be expected to provide daily care and management of the heifer as directed by their 4H leader or FFA advisor as well as maintaining a record book and financial records relating to the animal. The heifer will be returned to its breeder at the conclusion of the show season. To ensure a strong net-

jinglejangle Hola CowBelles,

KAREN KELLING President, New Mexico CowBelles

he middle of July is when I finally get my Anatolian Shepherd’s winter undercoat all brushed out. He looks beautiful for a couple of months until he starts growing it back again. Other than the hair thing, Chuy is the perfect dog. He tolerates grandchildren and hates coyotes. He sleeps all day and patrols all night. He does what he does, night after night, month after month, year after year. Luckily Curt and I like what he does — because Chuy is not trainable.

Due to publishing deadlines, I am writing this article a month before you are reading it which requires something very difficult — forward thinking. Chuy is not a forward thinker. He doesn’t worry about whether the coyotes will yap again tomorrow night. He just concerns himself with the ones yapping tonight. Thanks to Chuy, our housecat will live forever — having no predators but the warm engine of a pickup in the wintertime. Some humans and their organizations aren’t into forward thinking either. They do what they do — what they’ve always done — and you can’t change them no matter how hard you try. New Mexico CowBelles is walking a fine line between changing to attract younger members with fresh ideas and alienating charter members whose dedication has enabled NMCB to support our industry for half a century. But the beef industry continually faces new challenges and CowBelles must continually evolve in order to support it effectively. We have to take advantage of all of the cutting edge tools available to us. I don’t wax nostalgic about the days before we had calculators and computers. I don’t want to get rid of EPDs or subcutaneous vaccines or pistol grip syringes, fly tags, electronic scales, hydraulic chutes or Temple Grandin. There was a railroad shipping point just three miles from my house but I’m happier with cattle trucks coming all the way to the pens. I’m willing to try any new program that can add value to our cattle, such as NMBQA certification and source and age verification. I want to see the Checkoff increased. I wish people still ate 72 pounds of beef a year without stressing over Omega 3s and 6s — but they don’t. Our CowBelle mission of beef education and promotion is not only harder than it once was, but easy access to the other side’s disinformation makes it is so much more important. But never fear — our side has access to the same information technology that theirs

does. Like the New Mexico Beef Council and American National CattleWomen, NMCB has a website and a Facebook page up and running. Most of us communicate by e-mail. I admit I have a love/hate relationship with my e-mail but I guarantee that anyone relying on hand written letters on parchment paper won’t be hearing from me. I enjoy a lot of the new technology my children talk me into trying. My cell phone can surf the internet. I wear an iPod and a Garmin when I run. The other day I cranked up the decibels on the iPod enough to hear above the wind. Since I have to look down at the ground when I run to keep from falling on my face on a prickly pear, Curt was able to sneak up on me on his 4wheeler. I thought he was a bear. Luckily, my Garmin also has a heart rate monitor. The new technology we CowBelles are adopting today will help us be a more relevant organization in the future. My hope is that all of our locals will utilize our New Mexico CowBelles Facebook page to log their activities so the rest of us can enjoy their pictures and chit-chat. Facebook is a visually exciting, real-time medium where we can update our calendar and report on meetings. We will know instantly who is to be congratulated and who needs our prayers. We can be together when we can’t actually be together — very forward thinking! A forward thinker cannot actually predict the future, but she can determine its direction. Don’t look down at the ground like I do. Look ahead. Carnivores Unite! UPCOMING EVENTS

President Kim Clark opened the May 11th meeting of the Copper CowBelles held at Eat Your Heart Out Catering. It was decided to donate $75 to the Midyear CowBelle meeting to be held in Ruidoso. It was decided to donate $300 to the Cliff students going to the National FFA convention in Indianapolis. Judy Billings presented the April Treasurer’s Report and it was approved. Pat announced two donations of $50 each to the Tim Edward’s Memorial Scholarship fund. One was from member Leslie Crumbley and the other from member Linda Pecotte. Shirley Sova showed everyone the “bucket” to be used for this year’s scholarship fundraiser and showed a picture of a similar bucket that has its paintings started. Pat reminded everyone that it is time to start gathering the goodies needed to fill the bucket. Bobbie Little was wearing a sample T-shirt that is being proposed for our marketing campaign. The back of it says: “The best stewards of the land are USA Ranchers and Farmers.” The marketing committee is still researching prices. Kathy Davis reported that the “Welcome to Beef Country” brand signs are installed at both ends of Grant County! It was decided to thank Pat Bearup, Shane Wetzel and Kelly Clark for their help in getting these billboards up by giving them tickets to the Denim and Pearls Dance. The McKeen Ranch Days, were reported on as being a wonderful experience, as always. Kim read an article from the ANCW website with information about 29 lean cuts of beef. For more information go to: beefitswhatfordinner.com. The group decided to start up a Cookbook committee again so everyone is to start collecting recipes to include in the book. Linda Pecotte suggested we look into sponsoring a cooking show on CATS TV with Judy O’Loughlin, our County Home Economist. We could also look into doing beef cooking demos at the Farmers market this summer. Kim closed the meeting by reminding everyone that they are to bring a young woman to the June meeting to promote the idea of having a “junior cowbelles” group and to encourage young people to keep our mission going. And don’t forget: June is Beef Month. Submitted by Pat Hunt The Powderhorn CowBelles served barbeque beef, coleslaw, pinto beans, rolls and cake to almost 500 people at Old Fort Days in Fort Sumner on June 12.

Ann Overton and Karen Cortese were the chairpersons in charge of the event with 20-25 other members helping to chop, pour and serve. The preparation crew met on Tuesday, June 8 to help with the cooking. Steve Dimitroff cooked the meat. This is the main fund raiser for the Powderhorn CowBelles Club with monies going to support beef promotion activities. The next meeting will be on July 13, 2010 at the home of Carolyn Geiler, west of Ft. Sumner. Submitted by Carolyn Bedford, Secretary The Chuckwagon CowBelles met on June 8, 2010 at Toni Barrow’s home in Belen with 20 members and two junior members present. Guests included our speaker Christy Carbon-Gaul and Louise Cannesson who was visiting from France. Christy Carbon-Gaul enlightened us about family estate planning. Her program was titled, “Well, I’ll Get Around to It . . .” Christy explained estate planning helps to make life’s transitions easier, and it is for everyone, not just the wealthy. She also said that Pre-Nuptial Agreements should ALWAYS be implemented when the marriage partners are bringing any financial wealth that was previously obtained into

the marriage. We learned that Revocable Trusts are fictional entities that hold assets. It is best for the creators of those Trusts to be named as the trustees. Avoid a conservatorship if possible. Use a Durable Health Care Power of Attorney. This document is useful when a person realizes that he can’t make end-of-life decisions anymore. It allows a trusted person to make decisions for him. Obtain County Permits for a cemetery on your farm or ranch. State Permits are not necessary! Toni called for the minutes from the last meeting to be read. There was discussion about the coffee break donation we made to the Summer Meeting in Ruidoso. Toni Barrow announced the State Fair Beef Booth work dates for Chuckwagon. There was discussion about the Mid-Year meeting agenda and Locals’ Bi-Laws. We are praying for Marion Shaw, and for Ruth Romero’s husband. Karen Tanner has been busy quilting. She showed us a cute tote bag and wall hanging she stitched together. Chuckwagon will donate a Tops and Bottoms book to the ANCW meeting in Denver. Lyn Greene agreed to take a door prize to the Summer Meeting on behalf of our local. Lyn Greene gave a report on the Indian Livestock Days booth. She said it was suc-

cessful and fun. There was a good deal of interest in CowBelles. We will sponsor a booth during the Torrance County Fair on August 13 and 14 in Estancia. Our next meeting will be at Quari on July 13. Bring a sack lunch! Meeting adjourned at 1:35 p.m. Respectfully submitted by Babbi The April meeting of the Corriente CowBelles was held on April 13, 2010 and called to order by President Kimberly Stone. The meeting opened in its traditional manner with a prayer, the pledge of allegiance and the reciting of the CowBelle Creed. There were 15 members present and one guest, our guest became a member by the end of the meeting. Vice President, Ruth Wold presented the minutes of the previous meeting in absence of Secretary Nikki Bowen. Under Committee Reports – Wold reminded the club of the Ag Education Week activities on May 3-6, 2010. She thanked everyone for coming to help stuff the bags for the students. In regards to Beef for Father’s Day, Stone asked for discussion on doing in-store beef cooking demonstrations during the months of June and July as well as having napkins and other items in the Capitan continued on page 196

Federal

Lands News

his month’s column will cover National Monuments, Obama’s Great Outdoors Initiative, grazing fees, the Chiricahua leopard frog, the jaguar, and Communist China. You will recall that on February 13, 2010, I made public Department of Interior documents marked “Internal Draft-NOT FOR RELEASE” which included recommendations for 14 National Monuments including two in New Mexico: Lesser Prairie Chicken Preserve (58,000 acres) and Otero Mesa (1.2 million acres). Then on April 16, 2010 President Obama signed a Presidential Memorandum creating his Great Outdoors Initiative. The document directed the Chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality, the Secretaries of Interior and Agriculture and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to conduct “outreach” to discover “new partnerships” and “innovative programs” that will allow him to “protect and restore our outdoor legacy.” Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar said in mid-June that we face “new challenges that require new ideas and new strategies.” Tom Vilsack, Secretary of Agriculture said that two of these “serious challenges” were “landscape fragmentation and loss of open space.” I read that to mean more land acquisition and additional land designations that will exclude traditional users. Sure, there will be bows to private conservation, but the real goal here is increasing federal control over our resources. The designation of National Monuments by executive fiat will fit nicely into this initiative. However, some local governments and others are taking preemptive action to thwart this program. Otero County, NM, recently passed a resolution in opposition to the proposed 1.2 million acre Otero Mesa National Monument and demanding input into any such designation by the President. During hearings on the resolution, Commission Chairman Doug Moore said he was opposed because the monument could be created by just a Presidential signature and without any local input (A recent release of documents suggests Obama officials consulted

BY FRANK DUBOIS

extensively with environmental groups on such designations). Rancher Bobby Jones pointed out the area was a checker board of ownership and would include private property. Also at the county hearing was Tom Cooper, who has ranched on Otero Mesa for 37 years. Cooper testified, “It should be noted that grazing management in national monuments, if grazing is allowed at all, is similar to grazing management in wilderness areas. The economic and operational viability of the ranches on Otero Mesa would be seriously impacted by a monument designation.” He further stated, “After more than 400 years of livestock grazing, including more than 75 years since enactment of the Taylor Grazing Act, Otero Mesa is still pristine, productive and beautiful” and that “Otero County revenues

from property, gross receipts, and other taxes associated with livestock ranches on Otero Mesa are significant, and could be greatly reduced or even eliminated by imposition of monument or other designation.” Cooper is correct in that whether livestock grazing is allowed or not, and if allowed to what extent, is strictly up to the President and will depend upon the language he inserts in the directive. Similar concerns were expressed at a recent meeting about a proposed 600,000acre National Monument that would affect four counties in California and Oregon. Josephine County Commissioner Sandi Cassanelli says people are afraid limits will be placed on uses of the public land, such as grazing, mining, logging, ATV riding and fire suppression. Keep in mind that National Monuments can be created through the legislative route. There are currently 61 bills introduced in Congress that would create new monuments, expand the boundaries of existing monuments, or otherwise affect national monuments. Interestingly, Senator Max Baucus (D – continued on page 194

Irish Blacks Early Maturity & Consistency at the Highest Level We have ultra sounded, DNA gene tested and slaughtered hundreds of 1/2 blood and 3/4 blood calves sired by our purebred bulls. We ultrasound a combination of 200 young bulls and heifers each year. The results on the 200 head in 2007 was IDENTICAL to the 200 head in 2006. The average was 11 1/2 months with the bulls averaging 942 pounds. It is important to note that the 400 head were sired by SEVEN different herd sires. The ultra sound index for excellence in carcass quality gene traits are: Back fat of .25 inches is rated excellent. Our 400 head averaged .16 of an inch! The REA (rib eye area) should score 1.1 square inches per 100 pounds of body weight. Example = a 1,000 pound animal would score 11 square inches of REA to rate superior. Our 400 head (2 year period) averaged 1.37 for 13.7 square inches of REA! That much-sought marbling score that every beef breed is trying to reach is 3.5. Again, our 400 head averaged 3.87! Here again it is important to note the importance of transmitting the gene traits for CONSISTENCY. The variation between the high score and the low score for each of these essential gene traits was only 1% to 2%, which can be classified as a rarity in today’s beef cattle breeding programs. Transmitting superior CONSISTENCY is the direct result of the genetic power of a dominant small highly concentrated gene pool. Our consistent early maturity gene trait is placing Irish Black sired calves on the market two to four months earlier than the bulk of the calves sired by bulls of other beef breeds. This is a substantial savings on feed and labor costs. For further information view (www.irishblacks.com) Phone: Maurice W. Boney, 970/587-2252 or Guy Gould 970/483-5148

Montana), in a story about the recent Great Outdoors Initiative meeting in Montana, was quoted as saying “I am opposed to the administration creating monuments.” If Baucus doesn’t want the President to designate monuments in Montana, I can assure you that that he won’t. The same would be true if Senator Bingaman were to make a similar statement about New Mexico. My point is this: If Senators Bingaman and Udall, and Congressman Teague support creating National Monuments on Otero Mesa and the Lesser Prairie Chicken Preserve, they should introduce legislation to do so. That way the concerns of New Mexicans can be taken into consideration and hopefully reflected in the law, and not left to the whim of the President and his advisors. If they do not support National Monument status for these areas, then like Senator Baucus, they should publicly state so. In 2005 our friends at the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) filed a Petition for Rulemaking with U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of the Interior (DOI), requesting the two Secretaries “establish a fair and just fee for livestock grazing.” In that petition they alleged that the current formula setting grazing fees violates Congressional guidance to the Secretaries by the Taylor Grazing Act, the Federal Lands Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), and the Public Rangelands Improvement Act because it mandates a fee which is “(a) unreasonable, (b) unrepresentative of fair market value, and (c) inequitable to the United States and to the majority of livestock producers.” In addition, they assert President Reagan had no authority to extend the PRIA fee formula by executive order. The Secretaries never responded to the Petition for Rulemaking, so on June 7, 2010 the CBD, Western Watersheds Project, WildEarth Guardians and others filed suit. In that suit they allege the agencies have violated the Administrative Procedures Act by not responding to the petition within a reasonable time, and are in violation of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) because they have not updated the 1988 Environmental Assessments and because they have not prepared a NEPA analysis prior to setting the grazing fee each year. They seek relief by having their Petition for Rulemaking responded to within 90

days and by having a NEPA analysis done on the 2010 grazing fee. Continuing their love affair with the livestock industry, the CBD has also filed suit against the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) to protect the Chiracahua leopard frog from livestock grazing in the Coconino National Forest. The CBD alleges the Forest Service is violating their own management standards by allowing grazing levels beyond carrying capacity and that the FWS is in violation of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) by not identifying how many frogs would be killed or harmed by livestock and by not limiting such harm “as cows trample and dewater streams and wetlands.” The CBD has also filed an Intent to Sue with the Wildlife Services Division of USDA. There they claim “traps, snares, and poisons” risk “injuring or killing endangered jaguars and ocelots in the Southwest.” They also claim the 1999 Biological Opinion is out of date and “delineates occupied habitat in only a few mountain ranges constituting a small proportion of the Sky Islands region.” Let’s not forget that, so far, the government has paid out $91,000 to CBD and Defenders of Wildlife for previous jaguar-related lawsuits. Since the Kelo decision by our Supreme Court, various government entities have continued to condemn private land for so-called economic development purposes. Well, the same thing is happening in China and one courageous farmer is fighting them off with a home-made cannon. Reuters reports the farmer, Yang Youde “has declared war on property developers who want his land, building a cannon out of a wheelbarrow and pipes and firing rockets at would-be eviction teams.” The article goes on to say anger “over property confiscation is one of the leading causes of unrest in China, with many people forced to give up homes and land to make way for anything from roads to luxury villas.” Never thought I would say this, but it looks like we have something in common with the folks who live in Communist China. Until next time, be a nuisance to the devil and don’t forget to check that cinch. Frank DuBois was the New Mexico Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003, is the author of a blog: The Westerner (www.thewesterner.blogspot.com) and is the founder of The DuBois Rodeo Scholarship (http://www.nmsu.edu/~duboisrodeo/).

Democrats persist in efforts to turn out the lights n June 10, by a 53-to-47 vote, Senate Democrats defeated a bipartisan effort to halt the attempt by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Obama administration to mount a regulatory takeover of the U.S. economy. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Alaska Republican, had offered a resolution disapproving of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ruling that carbon-dioxide emissions pose a threat to human health and the environment. Murkowski, the entire Senate Republican caucus and the six Democrats who voted for the bill were doing no less than reasserting Congress’ constitutional authority to regulate interstate commerce, says H. Sterling Burnett, a senior fellow with the National Center for Policy Analysis. Energy production and use make up a large percentage of the economy and people’s well-being. The proposed EPA greenhouse-gas regulations would have a bigger impact over the long term than the financial bailouts and the various stimulus packages. It would have a larger impact on our economy than any single piece of legislation other than, perhaps, the recently passed health care overhaul. Murkowski and her allies simply thought that elected members of Congress, accountable to their constituents, rather than unelected bureaucrats or judges should decide if, when and how the United States should respond to the potential threat posed by global warming, says Burnett. President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and the majority of the Democratic caucus disagreed, killing the bill.

High-yield agriculture slows pace of global warming, say FSE researchers by LOUIS BERGERON, Stanford News Service dvances in high-yield agriculture over the latter part of the 20th century have prevented massive amounts of greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere — the equivalent of 590 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide — according to a new study led by two Stanford Earth scientists. The yield improvements reduced the need to convert forests to farmland, a process that typically involves burning of trees and other plants, which generates carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The researchers estimate that if not for increased yields, additional greenhouse gas emissions from clearing land for farming would have been equal to as much as a third of the world’s total output of greenhouse gases since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution in 1850. The researchers also calculated that for every dollar spent on agricultural research and development since 1961, emissions of the three principal greenhouse gases — methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide — were reduced by the equivalent of about a quarter of a ton of carbon dioxide — a high rate of financial return compared to other approaches to reducing the gases. “Our results dispel the notion that modern intensive agriculture is inherently worse for the environment than a more ‘old-fashioned’ way of doing things,” said Jennifer Burney, lead author of a paper describing the study that will be published online by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Adding up the impact

The researchers calculated emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, converting the amounts of the latter two gases into the quantities of carbon dioxide that would have an equivalent impact on the atmosphere, to facilitate comparison of total greenhouse gas outputs. Burney, a postdoctoral researcher with the Program on Food Security and the Environment at Stanford, said agriculture currently accounts for about 12 percent of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. Although greenhouse gas emissions from the production and use of fertilizer have

increased with agricultural intensification, those emissions are far outstripped by the emissions that would have been generated in converting additional forest and grassland to farmland. “Every time forest or shrub land is cleared for farming, the carbon that was tied up in the biomass is released and rapidly makes its way into the atmosphere — usually by being burned,” she said. “Yield intensification has lessened the pressure to clear land and reduced emissions by up to 13 billion tons of carbon dioxide a year.” “When we look at the costs of the research and development that went into these improvements, we find that funding agricultural research ranks among the cheapest ways to prevent greenhouse gas emissions,” said Steven Davis, a co-author of the paper and a postdoctoral researcher at the Carnegie Institution at Stanford. To evaluate the impact of yield intensification on climate change, the researchers compared actual agricultural production between 1961 and 2005 with hypothetical scenarios in which the world’s increasing food needs were met by expanding the amount of farmland rather than by the boost in yields produced by the Green Revolution. “Even without higher yields, population and food demand would likely have climbed to levels close to what they are today,” said David Lobell, also a coauthor and assistant professor of environmental Earth system science at Stanford. “Lower yields per acre would likely have meant more starvation and death, but the population would still have increased because of much higher birth rates,” he said. “People tend to have more children when survival of those children is less certain.” Avoiding the need for more farmland

The researchers found that without the advances in high-yield agriculture, several billion additional acres of cropland would have been needed. Comparing emissions in the theoretical scenarios with real-world emissions from 1961 to 2005, the researchers estimated that the actual improvements in crop yields probably kept greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to at least 317 billion tons

of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, and perhaps as much as 590 billion tons. Without the emission reductions from yield improvements, the total amount of greenhouse gas pumped into the atmosphere over the preceding 155 years would have been between 18 and 34 percent greater than it has been, they said. To calculate how much money was spent on research for each ton of avoided emissions, the researchers calculated the total amount of agricultural research funding related to yield improvements since 1961 through 2005. That produced a price between approximately $4 and $7.50 for each ton of carbon dioxide that was not emitted. “The size and cost-effectiveness of this carbon reduction is striking when compared with proposed mitigation options in other sectors,” said Lobell. “For example, strategies proposed to reduce emissions related to construction would cut emissions by a little less than half the amount that we estimate has been achieved by yield improvements and would cost close to $20 per ton.” The authors also note that raising yields alone won’t guarantee lower emissions from land use change. “It has been shown in several contexts that yield gains alone do not necessarily stop expansion of cropland,” Lobell said. “That suggests that intensification must be coupled with conservation and development efforts. “In certain cases, when yields go up in an area, it increases the profitability of farming there and gives people more incentive to expand their farm. But in general, high yields keep prices low, which reduces the incentive to expand.” The researchers concluded that improvement of crop yields should be prominent among a portfolio of strategies to reduce global greenhouse gases emissions. “The striking thing is that all of these climate benefits were not the explicit intention of historical investments in agriculture. This was simply a side benefit of efforts to feed the world,” Burney noted. “If climate policy intentionally rewarded these kinds of efforts, that could make an even bigger difference. The question going forward is how climate policy might be n designed to achieve that.” JULY 2010
