ESSAGE

Dear Fellow Members and Industry Supporters, t seems to me that the assault on agriculture in New Mexico has reached an unprecedented level in the last few years, much of which revolves around the Endangered Species Act, Clean Water Act, etc., but sometimes also comes from the agencies that we normally think of as supporters. I’ve been following a few of these evolving issues. On the radical environmentalist front, a multitude of animal species are being listed as threatened or endangered due to a settlement agreement that the United States Fish and Wildlife Service made with these radical groups in response to a lawsuit which said that the Fish and Wildlife Service was dragging its feet on the listing of hundreds of candidate species. One of those species, just listed as endangered, is the New Mexico Meadow Jumping Mouse. As I reported last month, the US Forest Service was blocking access to livestock water on the Lincoln National Forest that Forest Service didn’t have any rights to. Now, the Forest Service is planning to do the same thing on the Santa Fe National Forest, where once again the Forest Service does not own the water. All in the name of trying to create habitat for the Meadow Jumping Mouse, which was listed as a result of what I’ll call “thin science”, by using someone else’s water. But most egregiously, the Forest Service is going to undertake this fencing exclosure without any public process, disallowing those whose rights are being trampled upon the right to protest the action, without having to litigate against their government. Another case is that of the Mexican Gray Wolf. I saw a posting on a social media site recently which pointed to a Fish and Wildlife Service document contemplating the release of two pairs of wolves on the Vermejo Ranch in northern New Mexico. I don’t recall such an action having been contemplated in the recent Fish and Wildlife Service Draft Environmental Impact Statement Recovery Plan for the wolf. How are people supposed to share their concerns if there is no process by which they are afforded a voice? And then we have the “where’s the beef from” issue. A complaint was lodged recently with Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack decrying the use of beef checkoff dollars to promote what’s being called “North American Beef”. I’m not sure if this new phrase has anything to do with the fallout from the COOL (Country of Origin Labeling) battle, or if it’s meant to supplant our current labeling, but it bothers me that our money is being spent to promote something other than “US Beef”. I’m not sure where you stand on this new term but I think it flies in the face of our collective efforts and monetary contributions over the decades to distinguish “US Beef” as a preferred product worldwide. Let me know what your thoughts are on this issue by emailing nmcga@nmagriculture.org So what I find interesting is that the federal government, through its agencies, shows a wanton disregard for the rights of rural New Mexicans, both directly and indirectly, because they fear the environmentalists’ lawsuits more than they care about protecting the rights of people who are trying to make a living, being stewards of the land and producing food for at least 100 other people all at the same time. What a shame. In closing, I’m glad to say that our Mid-Year meeting in Las Cruces last month with New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau was a great success, with very informative speakers and lots of members. Thanks for being there. Let’s all pray that we’re rolling in the rain by this time next month.

Hasta pronto,

OPEN GATE PROGRAM OVERVIEW New Mexico Department of Game and Fishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (NMDGF) Open Gate program is a voluntary program available to landowners that leases access to private property for properly licensed sportsmen and women to hunt, fish, or trap. Landowners who work with the NMDGF through Open Gate receive an annual lease payment and are provided liability protection from the State. Leases generally run for the duration of one license year; however, longer-term agreements that cover multiple license years may be available under some conditions. Open Gate works with landowners to create a customized lease agreement tailored to meet their individual needs and protect their interests. Landowners may specify the types of activities that are permitted on their property and dictate the seasons for which the property is open. Landowners may elect to lease some or all of their property. Access is permitted only on leased acreage during open seasons. Sportsmen are expected to act responsibly and comply with the rules when using an Open Gate property. Game Wardens patrol Open Gate properties during open seasons enforcing the rules.

habitat on their property. This component compliments farm bill cost share programs, such as the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program (WHIP). The NMDGF can partner with a landowner through Open Gate to help pay up to 50% of the landownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costs for habitat improvement projects if they enter into a long-term hunting or fishing lease (5 years or longer).

renewed annually until available funds for the current year are expended. The NMDGF will prioritize leases that are located reasonably close to populated areas, in areas with limited access, and that have the potential to offer a wide variety of activities. All applications are evaluated by the NMDGF, prioritized and ranked depending upon benefits the proposed lease provides to the Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sportsmen and women.

FOR MORE INFORMATION

To participate in the Open Gate Program, a landownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property must provide habitat suitable to support a hunting, fishing, or trapping lease. Applications are accepted year round and lease agreements are

PAYMENTS NMDGF provides payments to landowners for their participation in the Open Gate program. Payments vary depending upon the opportunities that are offered, the quality of the habitat, and the location of the property. Payments are distributed at the end of the leased hunting, fishing, or trapping seasons. Landowners may withdraw from the program at any time, but payments will be prorated contingent upon the services provided.

Learn how Open Gate can work for you!

Payments for a hunting lease are determined using a standard fee schedule that applies a per acre value to the lease based upon the hunting opportunities, habitat quality, and location. Payments for a fishing lease also are determined using a standard fee schedule that applies a value to the lease based upon the location, accessibility, size, type, and quality of fishing waters. Under some circumstance, Open Gate may pay for right-of-way across private property to gain access to large tracts of public land with limited accessibility. Lease rates for a right-of-way are determined by the number of acres the right-of-way opens for use.

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. 22

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.

Stop the Big Green mind-killer by RON ARNOLD, WASHINGTONEXAMINER.COM/ ear is the mind-killer,” wrote Frank Herbert in his 1965 science fiction epic, Dune. With that melodramatic mantra as a guide, we can see how ugly, malicious and wrong the Big Green climate mafia is: It’s making dead minds. Dead minds don’t ask, “If we give in to your fear and stop using fossil fuels, how will we meet our energy needs of today and tomorrow?” Live minds do ask such questions and climate bigots don’t like that. Thus skepti-

“F

cism becomes a civic duty to challenge everything dogmatists say and do. Climate science is crumbling daily. In May, the Wall Street Journal ran an op-ed exposing the claim that “97 percent of the world’s scientists” agree that climate change is both man-made and dangerous. It originated in a 2009 survey two researchers sent to 10,257 scientists. Only 3,146 responded, the researchers tossed out 3,069 replies, selected only 77 favorable answers — and 75 finalists agreed totally. That’s “97 percent.” You judge. Hotshot environmentalists including billionaire Tom Steyer, the Natural Resources Defense Council, Al Gore, and the Sierra Club claim that America can easily switch from fossil fuels to renewables, but don’t say how. Bill McKibben,

anti-carbon campaigner, says, “making the transition to 100-percent renewable energy is a political decision and an ethical imperative — the technical options do exist.” No they don’t. The Paris-based International Energy Agency says so. The IEA is no panic peddler like McKibben’s mob, with their glib pie-in-the-sky assertions and no responsibility for what they say. The IEA was created in the wake of the 1973 oil crisis to cope with physical disruptions in the oil supply, now a 28-nation energy supply regulator assuring global oil stock levels. The IEA calculates that today’s 82 percent share of fossil fuels in the global mix — continued on page 30

even with huge increases in renewable energy — will still make up around 75 percent by 2035, more than 20 years hence. There are no technical options, only ways to stop economic growth, which is the specialty of hedge fund billionaire Tom Steyer (estimated net worth $1.6 billion), Big Green’s latest new action leader. Steyer created Risky Business, an initiative to destroy the fossil fuel industry, and recruited co-chairs Michael Bloomberg, former New York City mayor ($32.8 billion), and Hank Paulson, former U.S. Treasury Secretary ($700 million), for his power elite. The initiative’s culmination was the Risky Business report released recently, a mind-killer designed to scare money away from fossil fuel investments with estimated ranges of the potential costs of climate change for property, insurance, energy demand and agricultural production. How will we meet our energy needs of today and tomorrow? The Steyer/Bloomberg/Paulson report does not offer solutions. Like all climate change gospel, the report is just an exercise in fortune-telling with a lot of footnotes. The fearful need only recall that a billionaire’s crystal ball is no better than yours. Big Green’s mind-killer campaign was boosted in early June by President Obama’s commencement address to University of California-Irvine graduates — it was actually an election campaign speech to fire up Democratic votes by degrading Republican climate skeptics with odious slurs (“deniers”). Tellingly, two-faced Obama went straight from his anti-fossil fuel speech to a closed-door Democratic National Committee fundraiser at the Laguna Beach home of Getty oil heiress Anne Earhart, whose fossil fuel-drenched Marisla Foundation gives $1 million every year to John Podesta’s Democratic Party holding-tank, the Center for American Progress. It’s no surprise that about the time of his speech, a Gallup poll found only 29 percent of respondents with “a great deal / quite a lot” of confidence in Obama. Remember, Obama promised during his 2008 election campaign to bankrupt the coal industry, and his Environmental Protection Agency is keeping that promise with a proposed anti-coal carbon emission rule.

Obama now talks like he’s had too much McKibben-Steyer Kool-Aid, but if you read the EPA announcement of the rule by his own employee, agency head Gina McCarthy, you will find a stunning moment of clarity in the schizophrenia. In the midst of wildly exaggerated benefits and strategically contrived evils, there appears: “We know that coal and natural gas play a significant role in a diverse national energy mix.” Alas, in the next sentence the light fades back into bureaucratic night. Things are slowly changing. Obama’s EPA rule will be in court for years, encouraged by the Supreme Court’s recent decision that partially struck down EPA over-

reach. And there’s political pushback: Sen. David Vitter, R-La., told a Senate subcommittee, “The burden of proof lies with the administration and its allies to provide the specifics as to how we can power our future with wind, waves and solar — and how we can do it, as they claim we can, quickly and without any cost to the consumer or the broader economy.” New voices are also rising. Kathleen Hartnett White, former Texas environmental regulator, has written a guide for living minds, “Fossil fuels: the moral case.” Access to oil, gas and coal, White says, are inextricably linked with prosperity and human well-being, but policies to replace those fossil fuels with inferior and unreliable energy sources could under-

mine all civilization. Now a senior fellow of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, White wrote, “Would voters choose an energy regression to less productive, efficient, comfortable, and healthy living standards? Multiple polls say no way! For the wealthy elites who make policy decisions — ‘the ruling class,’ it appears to be another story.” Time to end that other story. It’s beginning to stumble over its own faked, politicized climate science and its elites are teetering on the abyss of their own arrogance. Time to stop the Big Green mind-killer. RON ARNOLD, a Washington Examiner columnist, is executive vice president of the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise.

JULY 2014

Cattlemen Can Lock in their Profits from Unprecedented Cattle Prices s cattle inventories steadily declined over the past several years, most market experts expected 2014 to be a year of high cattle prices. Still, many in the industry have been surprised by just how high prices have gone. People have been calling a top to the cattle market for a long time, only to see it make another run higher. How high the market will go is anybody’s guess, but two things are fairly certain: 1) The market will eventually find a stopping point and then correct lower and 2) Virtually every cow-calf producer is in profitable territory at these price levels. Working from these assumptions, prudent cow-calf producers should be taking steps to capture profitability at these levels. For the 2014 calf crop, prices can be protected several ways. Producers trying to lock in prices in a profitable environment have long used forward contracts through video sales or order buyers. Managers of larger operations have included futures and options contracts in their price risk management strategies as well. Recently, smaller producers who sell less than one load a year, and who have historically had limited risk management options, have been able to utilize the Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) Program, administered by the USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA), to insure against market downturns. Video sales have been very active this spring and summer, suggesting that a lot of producers have already contracted their 2014 calf crop. There is certainly nothing wrong with this strategy, as it’s hard to lose money by locking in a profitable price. Anecdotal evidence suggests that a much greater proportion of the 2014 calf crop has been forward contracted than usual at this point in the year. If this is true, it may mean that feedlots are locking in inventory in advance and there will be less demand for calves this fall, putting pressure on calf prices. Alternatively, higher volume in early video sales also means that fewer calves will be available this fall, and feedlots that are looking for inventory will have to pay even higher prices. In the former scenario, producers who are contracting calves now will be very happy with their marketing strategy, but if the latter scenario develops, these same producers

Challenges, opportunities for young to enter beef industry by JACK WHITTIER & MARIAH FISCHER, PROGRESSIVE CATTLEMAN This article is designed to provide a perspective from a young person with a desire to remain involved in animal agriculture as a profession.

ariah Fischer is currently pursuing a master’s degree in animal science at Colorado State University in the Beef Management Systems Program. I have asked Mariah to provide her perspective of some of the challenges and opportunities for young people like her to enter or continue in the beef industry. First, I will provide some census information concerning the demographics of tenure and age of current farmers and ranchers in the U.S. The 2007 U.S. Census of Agriculture reported the percentage of beginning farmers and ranchers has steadily declined. The census showed only 26.5 percent of all principal operators have been farming for less than 10 years, a decline of more than 10 percent since 1982.

Congratulations to these

JULY 2014

The U.S. agriculture industry is dominated by farm and ranch establishments that have had the same principal operator for 10 or more years. Farms or ranches with principal operators who started within the past five years only account for 13 percent of all U.S. farms and 7 percent of all sales. Additionally, according to the 2007 Census of Agriculture, the average age of U.S. farm operators increased from 55.3 years in 2002 to 57.1 years in 2007. The number of operators 75 years and older grew by 20 percent from 2002, while the number of operators under 25 years old decreased 30 percent. In the states of Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming, young or beginning ranchers as a percentage of the population has recently seen significant decline. In 1992, 32 percent of ranchers in these three states were less than 44 years old. In 2007, census data showed that this number had decreased by 60 percent, as now ranchers in these three states less than 44 years old was only 20 percent of the total population. Furthermore, approximately half of the ranches in these three states are owned and operated by ranchers 55 years old or older.

The above demographics serve to emphasize the need to attract and retain young people into farming and ranching. Following are some comments and perspectives from Mariah: “As a young person who has been involved in agriculture my entire life, I feel that the future of agriculture is very promising. Agriculture, whether it is crops or livestock production, is the basis of what feeds this country, along with supplying nutrition to other countries as well. “Food will always be needed for survival, and we will continue to need more and more food as the world population continues to steadily increase. “I think as a young person there are many opportunities to get involved in the agricultural industry, particularly livestock production. “Having hands-on experience, as well as a college education, is central for securing a job in this industry in today’s world. I think there are numerous internships and opportunities to gain experience when you are young or getting started within the industry. “For example, I grew up with a cow-calf background and had little idea of how a continued on page 37

feedlot was run on a day-to-day basis. However, during the summer before my senior year of college, I was offered an internship at a 108,000-head feedlot in northeastern Colorado. “While I was there, I endeavored to learn and be involved in as many learning situations as I could. Workers as well as managers were very friendly and willing to take the time to teach me what I did not know. “I have also had the privilege of spending time on ranches in northern California with full-time cattlemen who have been successful in the beef industry. “I have been very blessed in that they have not only spent time with me sharing their practices and plans for success, but they have also allowed me to get many hours of hands-on experience. “I think it is important for young people to listen to what those wiser and with more experience have to say. It is my observation that if you are willing to work hard, to listen and to learn, you can be successful in the beef industry. “The USDA recognizes the need to attract young farmers and ranchers into production agriculture. As a result, there

are numerous federal programs available to a young person starting their own business. “Besides programs created to assist in establishing oneself financially, there are also increased opportunities presented to us from many new technologies in the beef industry. “For example, the use of ultrasound, timed A.I., DNA testing, EPDs, vaccines, software management programs, etc., have helped to improve cattle health, growth and management. “As with any other industry, we who are a part of the beef industry are not without our challenges. Much of the population is disconnected from the farm and has little idea where their food comes from or how it is raised. “Animal welfare is a growing concern for consumers – and why wouldn’t it be? After all, the media relays stories and videos that are frequently very misleading. “Those videos only reflect a small proportion of beef producers. As a whole, the beef industry does a good job of practicing animal husbandry and caring for animals. I mean, who else is going to go outside at 2 a.m. in a snowstorm when it is -12ºF to save a heifer and her calf from dying during labor?

“More stories about these events should make the news. Consumer perception is what drives the industry, and we have not always done the best job of conveying what we really do. “We should not let a ‘few bad apples,’ as Trent Loos would say, define our entire industry. We need to work on transparency and allow consumers to see how well we truly do care for our livestock. “Besides animal welfare concerns, we face constant battles with environmental groups and governmental policies, financial hardship, consumer perception issues, family crises, unpredictable weather such as flooding in Colorado or the drought in California . . . The list could go on. “However, we are agriculturalists – and more than that, we are beef producers. That is why I believe there is a very positive future for agriculture, in particular livestock production. “When adversity is breathing down our neck, we do not give up. Instead we push forward, we fight and we look for a new solution. Because raising cattle is not just a job to us, it’s a lifestyle. It’s our lifestyle.” Jack Whittier is a professor & Mariah Fischer is a graduate student in Colorado State University’s Beef Management Systems Program.

Landowners file trespass lawsuit against Western Watersheds Project he United States and Wyoming Constitutions hold the ownership and protection of private property, including the right to exclude third parties, in the highest regard. Regardless whether your private property is your backyard in town or rangeland in the country, trespassing is illegal. Fifteen landowners in Fremont County, Wyoming and Lincoln County, Wyoming have filed a civil trespass lawsuit in Wyoming District Court, Fremont County, against Western Watersheds Project, Inc. and Jonathan Ratner, WWP Director for Wyoming, Utah and Colorado, and John Does 1-10 with the Western Watersheds Project, Inc. (WWP) for intentionally and without landowner permission trespassing and entering private property. The Plaintiffs in the case are seeking a permanent injunction to stop further unauthorized trespass against their private property. The Plaintiffs are also seeking recovery of actual, nominal, special and punitive damages. According to Western Watersheds Project, Inc.’s website, “Policy Memo Number 2” is “To Do: Get all cows and sheep off public lands ASAP!” In order to advance the agenda of WWP, the Defendants were willing to break laws by illegally trespassing on private property. “In many areas in Wyoming, private land is interspersed with federal lands. We (Wyoming private landowners) have typically allowed public access through our private lands,” said Anjie McConnell with Frank Ranches. “Allowing public access is a property owner’s choice.” “For instance, if you are not comfortable allowing someone into your home you are able to tell them “no” and close the door,” She explained. “Landowners have the same rights and the ability to say “no” to groups and individuals that knowingly trespass; including those trying to advance an agenda against multiple-use of federal lands.” Trespasses by WWP occurred while collecting and submitting water quality samples to the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Trespasses also occurred while collecting range monitoring data. According to the lawsuit (Complaint), in June 2005 and May 2010, Ratner, on behalf of WWP, submitted to the DEQ a “Sampling and Analysis Plan” (SAP) for the collection of water quality data. “The signed 2005 SAP and the 2010 SAP affirmatively state that all water quality monitoring will be in compliance with Wyoming’s Credible Data Act of 1999,” wrote Attorney Karen Budd-Falen. “Additionally, the SAP’s state the sampling sites will be on public lands with legal public access.” According to the Complaint, when the latitude/longitude coordinates for the individual water quality site locations provided by Defendants were placed on a land ownership map, circumstantial

passing their lands,” Budd-Falen continued. Additionally, the Defendant trespassed on State lands and was notified on July 15, 2013 by the Director of the Wyoming Office of State Lands and Investments that collection of monitoring data on Wyoming State trust lands was prohibited by law and that any continued unauthorized data collections may constitute trespassing. Punitive damages are being sought because of the continued and habitual trespass by the Defendants. The Complaint states: “Punitive damages are proper where there has been an aggravated disregard of another’s rights and where the imposition of punitive damages will tend to prevent this type of violation in the future (Sears V. Summit, Inc. (Wyo. 1980)). In this case, Defendants wilfully

evidence shows the Defendants trespassed upon the Plaintiff’s private property. “Additionally, two of the water monitoring site locations were illegally located on the private lands belonging to two of the Plaintiffs,” She continued. “Because the Defendants were required to use GPS equipment to note the locations of their water quality monitoring sites, Defendants knew or should have known that they were trespassing on private property to access these sites,” BuddFalen explained. “Landowners are not comfortable having an extreme biased organization, that has not demonstrated the professional qualifications to collect credible data, tres-

New Mexico’s Old Times and Old Timers

Governor Lew Wallace & Billy the Kid ew Wallace1 spent a relatively short period of time in New Mexico, and while he left his mark on the territory, it should probably be a question mark. His tenure as territorial governor— September 1878 to May 1881—received mixed reviews from observers of the day and continues to be debated by modern historians. Wallace was born at Brookville, Indiana in 1827. Early in life he worked as a newspaperman and he studied law. He served in the army during the Mexican war, but many chronicles of that event fail to mention him. He returned to Indiana and during the 1850s, practiced law and got himself elected to the state senate. Shortly after the beginning of the Civil War, Wallace was named adjutant general for Indi-

ana and as such raised 130 companies of volunteers. He was appointed colonel of the 11th Indiana Infantry and was soon promoted to General.2 His Civil War service was so-so at best. Wallace took a little longer to move his troops into position at the battle of Shiloh (April 6-7, 1862) than General U. S. Grant thought necessary and thus earned Grant’s disapproval. It was a blemish on his record he carried with him for the rest of his life. By the close of the war, though, Grant commended Wallace for averting a Confederate threat to Washington, D. C. Historian Leon Metz simply refered to Wallace as a “mediocre Civil War general.” Metz continued, “[Wallace] never quite understood or really cared about the drama going on practically beneath his

ornate Spanish windows [in the governor’s palace in Santa Fe].” That drama was New Mexico’s Lincoln County War. When Wallace arrived in Santa Fe on September 30, 1878, the major battle of the war was over. The Five-Day Battle in Lincoln had ended on July 19. Some writers believe that the battle itself was the proximate reason that Wallace’s predecessor, Samuel Axtell, was dismissed. Historian Robert Utley, though, detailed a series of political maneuvers that resulted in Axtell being made scapegoat for a plethora of ills over which he had little control. And, standing in the wings waiting for a presidential appointment was Lew Walcontinued on page 45

lace, a loyalist who expected to be rewarded by the new Rutherford B. Hayes administration. Wallace had earlier been offered a diplomatic position in Bolivia, which he declined. The New Mexico position wasn’t much better, but it was a ticket out of a dreary law practice in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Besides, service in a remote place like New Mexico would give Wallace time to finish his latest novel, Ben Hur, A Tale of the Christ.3 In New Mexico, Wallace was obliged to contend with a state of lawlessness in Lincoln County. William Bonney—Billy the Kid—and his friends pillaged at will, as did several other outlaw gangs. Sheriff George “Dad” Peppin seemed completely unable to take action, and in fact spent most of his time inside the confines of Fort Stanton, fearful for his own safety. As a military man, it seemed to Wallace that the best course of action would be a declaration of martial law that would enable the army to pursue, arrest, and try the county’s assorted outlaws. President Hayes was not prepared to go quite that far, although he did declare Lincoln County to be in a state of insurrection and authorized the use of troops to make arrests if the miscreants refused to give up their lawless ways. That plan didn’t work out very well. The governor took a new tack. He offered a “general pardon” to all of those outlaws who had not been indicted. The result was that criminals who had fled the county to avoid arrest were then free to return and enjoy the amnesty, and, according to a newspaper of the day, “still apply their nefarious vocations.” At last, after the murder of attorney Houston Chapman on the street in Lincoln, Wallace decided to personally visit Lincoln County and take matters in hand. He had received a letter which read in part, “I was present when Mr. Chapman was murdered and know who did it. I am called Kid Antrim.” History would know Kid Antrim better as Billy the Kid. A meeting between the governor and the outlaw was arranged, and an agreement struck. Bonney would identify Chapman’s killers and in return Wallace would pardon Bonney in the April 1878 killings of Buckshot Roberts and Sheriff William Brady. Whether the governor intended from the beginning to renege on his

promise is not known, but the fact is that he did. Bonney was arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to hang for the murder of Brady. In spite of the Kid’s many pleadings, the governor on April 30, 1881, “was obliged to write out with his own hand and sign his name to a paper which authorized the outlaw’s death by hanging.” By then the Kid had already killed two deputies—Bob Olinger and J. W. Bell— and escaped custody in Lincoln (April 28), but that was of no great concern to Wallace. The new U. S. President, James A. Garfield, had appointed him Minister to Turkey. Wallace left New Mexico for good on May 30, while the Kid was still at large. Historian Ralph Emerson Twitchell wrote this: “If the fame of Governor Wallace rested upon any of his official acts in New Mexico it would be far from secure.” For his part, Wallace wrote in a letter to his wife, “Every calculation based on experience elsewhere, fails in New Mexico.” No matter. Ben Hur was a commercial success and made Wallace famous and wealthy. He died at Crawfordsville, Indiana in February 1905. Endnotes: 1 Wallace was baptized as “Lewis,” but he seems to have not used his full name. His signature was Lew. 2 Wallace was a major general at war’s end. 3 To quote Wallace himself: “The Ms. [of Ben Hur] was completed at the time of my appointment to the governorship of New Mexico down to the sixth book of the volume, and I carried it with me.” He finished it in Santa Fe. It was published in 1880. Sources: Leon Metz. Pat Garrett, The Story of a Western Lawman, 1973. Robert N. Mullin. A Chronology of the Lincoln County War, 1966. Dan L.

Raiding and trading in the American West by SHAWN REGAN, PERC, THE PROPERTY AND ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH CENTER n 1994, economists Terry Anderson and Fred McChesney proposed a simple theory of violence on the American frontier. Their paper, published in the Journal of Law and Economics, modeled an important choice that white settlers and Indians faced when conflicts arose over

land claims: Would the two groups fight or negotiate to resolve disputes? Or to put it another way, would they raid or trade? The answer, they said, depended on the relative costs of raiding and trading. If the costs of fighting decreased, perhaps because one side developed superior weaponry, then disputes were more likely to turn violent. If the costs of negotiation fell, perhaps because a tribe’s land rights were clear and recognized by other tribes, then groups were more likely to bargain to get what they wanted. After all, trade is profitable. Fighting is costly. Looking back through the historical

record, Anderson and McChesney found that this straightforward economic logic explained much about Indian-white relations. But their theory extends beyond just the old western frontier. It sheds light on why we often fight the way we do—especially in the West today. In the century following the American Revolution, life on the frontier gradually evolved from an era of peaceful negotiation to one of violent takings. This evolution was reflected in the relative costs of raiding and trading as the frontier advanced westward. For instance, tribes in the eastern United States were primarily agricultural societies with clearly specified rights to land. Because these rights were well defined and respected among other tribes, peaceful negotiation was in fact common between whites and Indians in the East. As the frontier expanded further west, however, Indian land rights became less clear. Plains Indians were more nomadic and reliant on wandering bison herds. This made it difficult for western tribes to enforce land claims, making trading more costly. But perhaps the most important shift from trading to raiding was the rise of a standing army after the Civil War. A standing army dramatically lowered the cost of fighting. It also created military bureaucrats whose careers and budgets depended on continued fighting. “God only knows when, and I do not see how, we can make a decent excuse for an Indian war,” General Sherman complained in 1866. It didn’t take long to find that excuse. More Indianwhite battles occurred during the post-war period than at any other time, and raiding quickly supplanted trading on the frontier. The raid-or-trade model can be applied today to a number of areas where groups compete for control over limited resources. The range war brewing on federal lands in the West, witnessed last month in the standoff on Cliven Bundy’s ranch in Nevada, is case in point. There, where more than half of the land in western states is owned by the federal government, disputes like Bundy’s occur on a near daily basis. In many ways, these federal lands resemble the old western frontier—largely untapped and, at least in a political sense, available for the taking. Mr. Bundy’s case represents just about everything that’s wrong with federal land management today. Environmental groups file endless legal challenges over land management, forcing agencies to continued on page 50

Raiding continued from page 48

declare more and more areas off limits to grazing, timber harvesting, or energy development. Armed with the Endangered Species Act and other regulatory weapons, environmental groups raid the rights of existing federal land users to protect habitats they like and to stop activities they don’t like. The result is a federal land system strangled by what former U.S. Forest Service chief Jack Ward Thomas describes as a “Gordian knot” of litigation and regulation. The dispute on the Bundy Ranch began with a raid of this very sort. In 1993, the federal government—under pressure from environmental groups—forced a reduction in Bundy’s grazing permit, declaring the allotment he used as habitat for the federally protected desert tortoise. Because federal grazing permits are attached to specific private ranches or base properties, such reductions can imply a substantial loss to a base ranch’s value. (Bundy holds title to just 160 acres, so the vast majority of his ranch’s value was derived from his permit to graze cattle on the 158,666-acre Bunkerville Allotment.)

Raids like this are all too common across the West, as ranchers’ grazing permits have been weakened or taken by the feds at the behest of environmental groups. Just as in the Old West, where the rise of a standing army encouraged more raiding of Indian lands, the regulatory institutions of the New West have given rise to a standing army of environmental litigators capable of running roughshod over the rights of existing land users. The raid or trade model provides a simple explanation for why we fight the way we do: It’s just too easy to raid, and too difficult to trade. But it also teaches us that it doesn’t have to be that way. As I wrote in the Wall Street Journal last month, some environmentalists have begun to trade rather than raid to get what they want. In several cases, environmental groups have paid ranchers to relinquish their grazing permits to protect wildlife habitat. Others have purchased base properties and acquired the federal grazing permits attached to them, spending their own money raised from member donations. Outside of Yellowstone, environmentalists have bargained with ranchers to retire federal grazing permits, compensated ranchers for losses due to wildlife,

and negotiated contracts that allow bison to migrate through private land during certain times of the year. Deals such as these are an exception to the raiding that is rampant across the West. But they represent a fundamentally different choice in the raid-or-trade calculus—one that recognizes existing property rights and seeks an honest bargain. Understanding how and when these trades occur is an important step to finding ways to lower the costs of negotiation far enough to encourage less raiding and more trading. As I noted in the Journal, the institutions that govern federal lands are illequipped to reconcile today’s competing demands in a cooperative manner. They were designed in accordance with the values of an earlier era, and with little regard to the simple fact that values change. Until these institutions evolve as well, trades like the ones I have described are likely to remain the exception rather than the norm. The history of Indian-white relations suggests one important way to encourage more trading: Property rights must be secure and transferable. But as Mr. Bundy discovered when his permit was sacrificed for the sake of tortoise habitat, grazing permits are far from secure. The Taylor Grazing Act, the 1934 act that regulates grazing on federal lands, refers only to “grazing privileges,” and recent regulations have continually weakened the security of those privileges. Trading will prevail only when grazing privileges are recognized as secure property rights. (Of course, the best way to encourage trading is for federal rangelands to be privatized completely. This is unlikely to happen any time soon, so it is useful to find intermediate solutions that promote trading. In order for that to happen, grazing permits must be treated as property rights to the fullest extent possible.) Even if grazing rights are well defined and respected, they must also be transferable. Federal grazing rules, however, generally prevent ranchers from trading permits to environmentalists who do not intend to run livestock on the land. As one environmental group in Arizona found out when they purchased a base property in 2005, the associated grazing permit required them to graze cattle or lose the permit. Such a requirement clearly raises the costs of trading for groups that want to use rangelands for purposes other than continued on page 53

grazing. Several of the deals that occur today are less than ideal due to such trade barriers. Environmental groups pay ranchers to relinquish their permits but then must convince the BLM to temporarily retire the allotment to keep other ranchers from claiming it as unused. In a grazing regime like this—with weak property rights and restrictions on the transfers that are allowed—it’s no wonder most environmentalists raid rather than trade. It’s not clear that ranchers benefit from a regime that discourages trading either. An analysis of federal grazing permits by economists Myles Watts and Lorraine Egan found a seemingly backwards economic result: As the value of the federal rangeland rises, thanks to increasing demands for environmental uses, grazing permit values have declined. “If the rights to grazing permits were secure and transferable,” Watts and Egan explain, “then grazing permits values would not decrease in value as noncommercial uses become more desired.” Indeed, the opposite would happen. Permits would become more valuable as competing groups bargained for gains from trade. Since grazing rights cannot be traded in market institutions based on property rights they are liable to be raided through political institutions, casting uncertainty on their value today. Of course, in order for trading to succeed, groups must be prevented from simply taking what they want at little or no cost to themselves. But today’s standing army of environmental litigators benefit from raiding rather than trading—and, in many cases, the federal government even ends up footing the bill for environmental groups that sue. Any attempt to promote trading must also reduce these groups’ regulatory power to raid. At the same time, much more needs to be done to lower the costs of trading among competing groups. Leasing reforms are needed to accommodate a host of different values on federal land, and permits should be recognized as secure and transferable property rights. Moreover, those permits should be allowed to migrate to their most-valued use, whether that’s cattle grazing or tortoise habitat. What’s certain is that today’s federal land institutions promote far too much raiding. As the Bundy standoff has shown us, conflicts over land use can erupt into full-on range wars. The raid-or-trade

model provides a clear and useful lesson: If property rights are well defined and transferable, then disputes among even the most diverse groups are more likely to get resolved peacefully. Finding ways to strengthen property rights, even in the context of federal lands, would go a long way to changing how we fight over land in the West—or whether we even fight at all.

If a request had to go to corporate for approval, Chuck and Steve went to bat and made a case for why the request should be granted. When supplies were needed for the presentation of NM Ag in the Classroom’s, “Steak for Supper” in celebration of National Ag Day, March 25, they walked them to the register and gave them to us for the program. For several years, they made sure we had “Beef or Brisket Seasoning” for CowBelles to package and hand out at County fairs, Ag Fest and Traveling Elks conventions. Just an example how their donation of Brisket Rub helps NM CowBelles get the beef message out: last year at a district workshop in Glenwood, NMCBs met and made friends with a group of travelers from outside the state that were grilling their dinner on the motel lawn. They heard us talking beef and they said they had been at Ag Fest a month before and got a sample of the rub and wanted more. This gave us the opportunity to open a discussion about Beef.

New Mexico CowBelles has always been a “Grass Roots” organization, getting their message out starting in their respective communities through the various Locals around the state. The support given to our locals make it possible to help the beef industry and in turn our national organizations. Consequently, help of men like these makes a difference nationally. Due to Otero County having a constantly changing population of U.S. Air Force airmen and German personal at Holloman, the participation of these men in the county fair, school health fairs and cooking demonstrations affect not only our community, but have a national and international impact as well. The information that CowBelles are able pass on to the students and parents, accompanies these families to their next assignment and internationally when they return home to Europe. What does this have to do with the winners of the 45th Annual NMCB Men of the Year? Without them getting funding for the Beef Certificates that Otero CowBelles used in their education fundraisers, they would

not be able to put on the health fairs, cooking demonstrations, “Embrace Your Plate” programs, Brisket Rub sample give-aways, etc. They make these events possible. Anyone who has worked with BEEF for over 30 years and whose livelihood depended on it, even to the extent of starting tours for school children to help them learn about food and the importance of farmers and ranchers and how they the food on their tables, has to be a great promoter of Beef. The many things, Steve Lenzo (l) listed above, which they have done to help Otero and New Mexico CowBelles show they are avid beef supporters. There are no awards given for the kinds of community service activities that have helped Otero and NMCB to achieve their goals to promote Beef. They don’t give awards for offering to help if they can, for taking time to let us know that maybe hav-

NMSU Creates DroughtTolerant Alfalfa by KRWG NEWS AND PARTNERS obert Flynn and Ian Ray, both alfalfa experts at New Mexico State University, have been researching a new drought-tolerant alfalfa variety. The Billy Melton variety, developed by Ray, NMSU professor of agronomy, was named in honor of Bill Melton, an NMSU professor who had an alfalfa-breeding program in the late 1970s and began developing varieties that had higher drought tol-

erance. Ray and Flynn evaluated the NuMex Bill Melton variety under stress-inducing factors, such as using sufficient to limited water. Compared to other drought-tolerant varieties, such as the Wilson variety, it produced better yields and better quality. Research proved that this variety performs under drought conditions as well as under regular irrigation practices using more water. This alfalfa variety was released in June 2009 and was favorably reviewed by the National Alfalfa and Miscellaneous Legume Variety Review Board in January

2010. “A lot of alfalfa varieties do well under normal irrigation practices, but once water is withheld, they don’t do so well,” said Flynn, agronomist at NMSU’s Agricultural Science Center at Artesia. “This variety offers the promise of production in a climate where production may not have been possible before.” Contrary to popular belief, this variety was not genetically modified. It took almost 12 years to make, slowly being created and curated using traditional methods and was specifically designed to meet the needs of growers across New Mexico. “It takes time to develop a variety like this,” Flynn said. “Sequences of genes in the plant influence yields even when there is lack of water. Ray took those genes and incorporated them into a new line that carries that marker and performs well.” Ray used state-of-the-art technology to find the genetic codes that allow this alfalfa to persist under drought conditions and yield marketable alfalfa where others can’t. “Since this cultivar yields well in wet and dry soil conditions, it should help farmers have more stable forage yields in wet years and dry years,” Ray said. “In dry years, however, regardless of the cultivar, yields will be less if insufficient moisture is provided to the crop.” NuMex Bill Melton has been tested in different locations across New Mexico, taking into account different elevations and irrigation practices. “This helps us see how it does in different climate conditions in different regions in the state, and this information is useful for all growers in New Mexico,” he said. This year marks the culmination of their research and trials that have led to creating the optimal characteristics that make up the Billy Melton variety. “The positive aspect of this variety is that it will produce under drought conditions and more than other varieties,” Flynn added. “It will generate income for growers because it will have higher yields than other varieties with less water.” This variety could potentially impact other industries such as dairy and livestock, since it produces quality alfalfa with the protein necessary for the animals’ diet. Flynn and Ray will continue to monitor the different trial plots around the state throughout the year to evaluate and compare the Billy Melton variety to other varieties until it becomes commercially available next year.

Federal Appeals Court invalidates Department of Labor rules that set unfair employment standards for sheep and cattle herders Government Must Undertake New Rulemaking to Set Herders’ Wages and Housing Conditions .S. and foreign herders will benefit from a decision today by the D.C. Circuit to invalidate U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) rules that permit employers to pay herders far less than other agricultural workers and allow lower standards for employer-provided housing, Public Citizen said. “Today’s decision will force the DOL to reconsider the unjust employment standards that it set for sheep and cattle herders,” said Julie Murray, an attorney at Public Citizen and counsel for the plaintiffs. “It is a victory for U.S. and foreign herders alike, who toil for unconscionably low pay and are often forced to live in abysmal housing conditions.” Through the H-2A visa program, foreign agricultural workers may come to the U.S. to work as herders if the government certifies that qualified U.S. workers are not available and that the employment of foreign workers will not adversely affect similar U.S. workers’ wages and working conditions. In 2011, the DOL announced “special procedures” that exempt herder employers who wish to participate in the H-2A program from requirements that they offer important workplace benefits and protections to U.S. workers before being allowed to hire H-2A workers under those same employment terms. The DOL rules permit herders to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days per week and to earn as little as $750 a month (or the equivalent of $2.34 per hour in many cases). The rules also require employers to offer only the most basic housing accommodation for herders living on the range. Those accommodations do not need to include electricity, running water, refrigeration or toilets. Public Citizen attorneys are lead counsel for three U.S. herders who seek herding positions at wages and working conditions that have not been depressed by DOL’s rules. In a unanimous decision, the D.C. Circuit reversed a federal district court decision holding that the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring their challenge to the DOL’s rules and then reached the merits of the plaintiffs’ claim. The court of appeals

concluded that the DOL rules are “legislative” rules that set U.S. policy for ensuring that the admission of foreign herders does not adversely affect American workers. Given the nature of the rules, the court of appeals held that the DOL violated the Administrative Procedure Act by adopting the rules without notice and an opportunity for the public to comment. It found that the rules adversely affect herders by lowering wages and worsening working conditions, and it sent the case back to the district court to determine whether to vacate the rules immediately or leave all or

a portion of them in place while the DOL undertakes a new rulemaking. “The public will soon have an opportunity to weigh in on rules to replace those invalidated by the D.C. Circuit,” Murray said. “This time around, we hope the government does the right thing by adopting new rules that protect vulnerable workers.” Edward Tuddenham, Jennifer J. Lee of Colorado Legal Services’ Migrant Farm Worker Division, and P. Alex McBean of Utah Legal Services, Inc., are co-counsel ■ for plaintiffs in the case.

New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum to unveil ‘Cowboys: The Real Deal’ New exhibit opens on June 26 here’s a chuck wagon over in the corner, but before you get there, you’ll walk past a squeeze chute. There are ropes, saddles, branding irons and hats. Campfire music is playing, and there are cowboy images of from all different eras covering the walls. The only things missing in the Legacy and Traditions galleries at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum are the livestock and some dust. But there’s plenty of that outside on the museum’s 47-acre property in Las Cruces. The new exhibit, “Cowboys: The Real Deal,” opens with a free, public reception from 6-8 p.m. on June 26. The exhibit will be on display for over a year, through July 5, 2015. For almost three centuries, beginning with the arrival of the Spanish in the region, those who could ride and rope were in demand as cowpunchers and drovers on cattle ranges and trails. This exhibition covers the enduring cowboy tradition of New Mexico and the Southwest, beginning with the original trail drive – Juan de Oñate’s trek into the region in 1598, and the first cowboys, or vaqueros. Visitors to the exhibit can study maps and historical photographs, watch a video of an old-fashioned branding, or listen to cowboy music, poetry or stories on one of several audio stations. The cowboy story begins with the Spanish bringing cattle and horses into the region, and continues with the different eras, including the big ranches, roundups and drives during the 1800s, and the dramatic changes in the 20th century, the modern-day equipment, and the life of the cowboy today. Many other tools of the trade are featured, and there are sections on cattle drives, the trails through New Mexico, the lifestyle, diversity on the range, and cattle kings such as John Chisum and Thomas B. Catron. There is a brand identification interactive panel in the exhibit, as well as examples and uses of leather and horse hair. “Cowboys: The Real Deal,” is based on the exhibit, “Cowboys Real and Imagined,” which originated at the New Mexico History Museum and Palace of the Governors

in Santa Fe. The Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum added objects to the exhibit from its own collection, including the chute and chuck wagon. The doorway into the gallery had to be widened to move the chuck wagon into place. Special thanks to Guest Curator Dr. B. Byron Price and the New Mexico History Museum/Palace of the Governors staff for the creation of the original exhibition. The museum is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for senior citizens and $2 for children 5 to 17.

Parker Joins IIAD Team lizabeth Parker, DVM, is bringing her unique experience in domestic and international animal health policy to the Institute for Infectious Animal Diseases (IIAD) where she will serve as the chief veterinarian effective August 18, 2014. Skilled in navigating the intricacies between science, government and practicality, Dr. Parker adds an impressive set of skills to an already strong research, development and programmatic team. Dr. Parker comes to IIAD from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome, Italy, where she serves as an animal health officer in the Animal Production and Health Division, a position she has held since January 2012. Prior to her international services, Dr. Parker was the Chief Veterinarian for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association in Washington, D.C., where she served the nation’s beef industry by leading the association’s domestic and international animal health efforts. During her time in Washington, D.C., she also served the House Committee on Agriculture, first as the 19992000 American Veterinary Medical Association’s Congressional Science Fellow for Ranking Member Charlie Stenholm (DTX), then as a professional staff member for then-Chairman Larry Combest (R-TX), followed by Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA). During her time on the committee from 1999 to 2006, she worked on fruit and vegetable issues, viticulture, marketing orders and promotion programs, livestock issues, animal and plant health, pesticides, biotechnology, homeland security, food safety and honey issues. She holds a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine and two bachelor of science degrees, all from Texas A&M University.

At IIAD, Dr. Parker will utilize her extensive national and international experience and network to develop collaborations between IIAD and animal health stakeholders, including private business, agriculture associations and veterinary practitioners, as well as federal and international governments. “As the Institute expands its partnerships globally, it is important that we have a dedicated professional on staff to foster and facilitate these relationships” says Tammy Beckham, IIAD director. “Dr. Parker’s international experience, combined with her professional education and practical approach, makes her an ideal fit for this role.” In addition to her work with IIAD, Parker will hold a joint appointment with the Office of the Director, Texas A&M AgriLife Research, serving as a subject matter expert related to livestock and animal health. In this role, she will assist with research proposals, technical and operational responses, grant writing and other funding requests for veterinary and animal health efforts. “Healthy animals are the foundation of

a safe food supply and strong livestock sector. As IIAD products and programs grow and expand, it is important to be involved with our partners throughout the entire development and deployment process to ensure we are meeting the needs of our customers – from Texas farmers and ranchers, private industry and government,” says Parker. “IIAD is a leader in research, technology and education related to animal disease issues, and I look forward to being part of the Institute and the dynamic Texas A&M team, facilitating this important link between IIAD and its customers.” “Dr. Parker is an experienced policy professional with expertise in science and technology issues, coupled with excellent analytical skills,” says Beckham. “She is a strong leader and an effective communicator with impressive consensus-buildings kills.

My Cowboy Heroes by JIM OLSON

Bobbi Jeen “Burel Mulkey OLSON Small Man, Big Heart ” urel Mulkey was born May 25, 1904 in Clyde, Idaho to Columbus and Nellie Mulkey. He became one of the sixty-one men who walked out of performing at the Boston Garden Rodeo in 1936. On that late October day, history was made. Those sixty-one men had no way of knowing that what they were doing would eventually wind up as the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association (PRCA). And while their immediate concern was fair prize money there at the “Garden” (a matter of a few thousand dollars at the time), they could not even have imagined that what they did would play a small part in the fact that a rodeo finals now pays out over six million dollars in ten days of professional rodeo (the National Finals Rodeo)! I never met Burel, but after doing much research on the man, I would have liked to. A small man with a big heart, quick with a laugh and a smile, and full of mischief when the occasion arose. Sounds like a fun fellow to travel with.

Raised on an Idaho ranch, Burel Mulkey was a cowboy from the word go. As with many of the days top rodeo hands, he started life by working as a cowboy. He was even promoted to the status of foreman for the Wood Cattle Company in 1928. About that same time however, a friend convinced Burel he ought to give rodeo a try. He entered his first rodeo at Ogden, Utah, in 1929—placing in the bronc riding. Prize money won and the thrill of rodeo soon took over. He became a full-time rodeo man. Author Willard Porter once wrote, “Mulkey was known among his peers as a rider who gave his very all to each bronc. Of course, there were good horses and bad horses (to score aboard), but Mulkey looked at them all as ‘bucking horses,’ and as such he spurred all of them in the same fashion—hard!” Burel’s hard-riding ways and his short, but stocky stature earned him the nickname “The Shetland Stud.” He was often referred to as the “Banty Cowboy” as well.

He was one of rodeos most colorful performers. He was known for a love of pranks, his trademark black satin shirt and for going “all out” on every ride. By 1937, he’d won the title of World Champion Bronc Rider, a feat he repeated again in ’38. As a matter of fact, he was crowned the All Around Champion of the World in 1938 as well. An old newspaper article reads: Denver (AP) January 19, 1938: Twelve seconds a day . . . five days a week . . . that’s Burel Mulkey’s working time . . . when there’s a rodeo on. The 31-year-old Mulkey, the world’s champion bronc rider, admits he made “more than $5000 but not very close to $10,000” last year, his first champion season. Mulkey, a blue-eyed ranch reared rider from Salmon, Idaho, is riding the bucking horses this week at Denver’s National Western Stock Show, Horse Show and Rodeo. “We’re riding regular from now on through till after the show at Baton Rouge next November,” said Mulkey, declared last year’s champion by the Rodeo Association of America. “Sure, a bucking horse ride is only 12 seconds – 10 seconds for indoor shows like this – and we only ride about five times through a whole show. But you sure enough do a lot of riding in 12 seconds, if you stay on.” Dropping his wide, square jaw in a big grin, Mulkey explained, “I don’t need to do any other riding besides what I do in the shows to keep in shape.” Does Burel have any plans for quitting riding and settling down on a ranch of his own? “That’s what all the top boys say they’re going to do some day,” said Mulkey, opening up his big grin again. “But there’s not many that do. These days I guess you can make more money riding than running a ranch, anyhow.” continued on page 63

Heroes continued from page 62

An interesting side note about the 1938 championships involves the following year’s champion, Paul Carney. Some rodeo cowboys are superstitious. Burel Mulkey and Paul Carney are no exceptions. After winning the championships in ’38, Mulkey gave his favorite shirt he was wearing to his good friend, Carney for good luck. The very next year, Paul Carney won the title of 1939 All Around Champion of the World— he did it wearing Mulkey’s shirt . Author Clifford Westermeier wrote of Burel in 1947, “That mighty little man from Idaho, Burel Mulkey, has the reputation of a bronc rider who never lets up in his efforts to win . . . Whether he rode a dog or the best of broncs, he spurred every one of them. He is short and heavily-built, but as a personality, he is a character . . . Like ham and eggs, Mulkey and mischief belong together. Mischief is his specialty, and he enjoys nothing more than handing out tall stories and watching the listener’s eyes grow larger and larger.” Mulkey competed in professional rodeo for over twenty years. He later served on the Rodeo Cowboy’s Association board of directors as a bronc riding representative. He proved to be a great ambassador for the sport, both inside and out of the arena. Burel married Marion Silicz on June 26, 1940 in Fallon, Nevada. Once Burel retired from full-time rodeo, the couple moved to California. They bought a ranch and Burel worked for many years as a brand inspector as well. The fun-loving, hard-riding Mulkey died November 20, 1982 in Lake Isabella, California. He was posthumously inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in ■ 2011.

History Museum Wins National Award for Cowboys Real and Imagined he American Association for State and Local History will bestow an Award of Merit for Leadership in History on the New Mexico History Museum in honor of the excellence achieved by Cowboys Real and Imagined. The award recognizes the 2013-2014 exhibition, its public programs, and the publication of Jack Thorp’s Songs of the Cowboys by the Press at the Palace of the Governors. “The staff of the museum brought intelligence, inventiveness and a lot of hard work to Cowboys,” said interim Director Jon Hunner. “This award is shared by the entire staff, our generous donors and the many visitors who enjoyed our hospitality—especially the ones who ‘cowboyed up’ and practiced roping a dummy calf.” From April 14, 2013, through March 16 of this year, Cowboys Real and Imagined was a major exhibition that traced the cowboy’s roots in Spanish New Mexico and carried his (and her!) story through modern-day rodeos, movies, singers and ranch hands struggling through climate change. Programming was funded by the New Mexico Humanities Council, which shares in the AASLH award. Special programming events included classic cowboy movie nights; panel discussions and presentations that focused on gay cowboys, Hispanic cowboys, Jewish cowboys, and African American cowboys; musical performances; and a Wild West Weekend with re-enactors and demonstrators. Jack Thorp’s Songs of the Cowboys represents the first fine-press printing of the classic book, which was born in New Mexico and, in a way, gave birth to countrywestern music. Tom Leech, director of the Palace Press, and Arlyn Nathan, a book designer and typography instructor at the Santa Fe University of Art and Design, also won the esteemed Carl Hertzog Award from the University of Texas at El Paso for the caliber of the book’s production. Throughout its run, Cowboys Real and Imagined drew a steady stream of visitors and was so admired that portions of the exhibit live on. Cowboys: The Real Deal opens June 26 at the New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum in Las ■ Cruces.

“Dedicated To A Tradition of Integrity”

HE FUTURE FOR AGRICULTURE IS BRIGHT. Ranching and farming has never been an easy way to make a living and it’s only because of the courage of our forbearers that our industry has even survived. Yet, survive it has and today, despite the challenges we’ve endured through the generations, American agriculture is the food basket of the world. Americans eat better, are better clothed and spend a smaller percentage of their income on food and fiber than consumers in any other nation. America is strong because its food and fiber producers are strong, resilient and courageous. We at Roswell Wool are proud of our industry and its heritage of greatness.

Our industry & our nation are THANK strong because we YOU! as individuals are MIKE CORN strong.

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.

may leave some money on the table. Producers who understand and trade futures markets can use put options to protect themselves from a market downturn without limiting the upside potential of a rapidly rising market. Of course, the downside is that this protection isn’t free, and buying near-the-money puts on fall contracts are going to cost between $3 and $8 per hundred-weight, depending on the strike price and contract month. Options farther out of the money are not as expensive, but don’t provide as much price protection, i.e., the market has to fall farther before the options are in the money and start paying off. Also, futures and options are no price guarantee, as basis may vary with market conditions. Futures and options are the best alternative for producers who are willing to risk some downside in exchange for capturing value if the market continues to climb. LRP insurance is another way to protect against a market downturn. As with options, this is protection with a price. As with options, basis risk remains for producers who use LRP, and there is no price guarantee; rather, the insurance pays if the CME Feeder Cattle Index falls below a predetermined level, similar to a strike price with options. Unlike options, LRP policies can be tailored to the size of the operation, and can be purchased on a per-head basis. Because LRP can be purchased for a specific number of animals, this tool provides near-ideal price protection for producers who sell less than one or two truckloads of calves every year. The 2014 cattle market has been remarkable. Since January, front month feeder cattle futures have risen nearly 32 percent, and they have climbed 70 percent since hitting their 2013 lows last summer. Live cattle are similarly 30 percent higher than they were at the same time last summer, and boxed beef prices are over 25 percent higher than last July. At the same time, even at these price levels, exports have increased, suggesting that demand for US beef is healthy. This is all good news and reason for optimism regarding prices in the near term. We learned in 2008, though, that markets can change quickly, and good prices now are no guarantee that prices will be good this fall. With prices this profitable, employment of some sort of price risk management strategy is the ■ right call. 174

The 97 Percent Myth

abstracts often contain claims that are not proven in the studies themselves. A 2009 article by University of Illinois student Maggie Kendall Zimmerman and her master's thesis adviser Peter Doran also made the 97 percent claim. The authors made this conclusion after conducting a two-question online survey of 3,146 scientists, only 79 of which were experts in climate science and had published half of their recent peer-reviewed papers on climate change. It did not include the scientists most likely to understand the natural causes of climate change: solar scientists, space scientists, cosmologists, physicists, meteorologists or astronomers. Moreover, the survey did not specify whether the human impact on global

lobal warming advocates routinely toss out the statistic that 97 percent of scientists agree that climate change is real and man-made. Where did that figure come from? Joseph Bast, president of the Heartland Institute, and Roy Spencer, principal research scientist for the University of Alabama in Huntsville, explain the history behind the misleading number. In short, there is no basis for the claim that 97 percent of scientists believe that man-made climate change is a dangerous problem. In 2004, Naomi Oreskes, a Harvard science historian, examined 928 abstracts of scientific journal articles, finding that three-quarters of them believed that humans were responsible for most of the observed warming of the last half-century. However, Oreskes did not analyze articles by prominent scientists – such as Richard Lindzen and John Christy – who question the “consensus” view. Additionally, a recent study in Nature magazine confirms that academic

warming was large enough to constitute a problem. In 2013, Australian blogger John Cook reviewed abstracts of peer-reviewed papers published from 1991 to 2011, concluding that 97 percent of the authors who stated their position on the subject believed that human activity was responsible for some warming. However, when University of Delaware geography professor David Legates reviewed Cook’s papers, he found that only 41 of them (0.3 percent of all of the abstracts, and just 1 percent of those that expressed an opinion) believed human activity was causing most current warming. On the other hand, write Bast and Spencer, the Petition Project – a group of physicists and physical chemists in California – has collected more than 31,000 signatures from scientists agreeing that there is “no convincing scientific evidence that human release of . . . carbon dioxide . . . or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate.”

COUNCIL

bullhorn New Mexico’s 2014 AgriFuture Institute prepared future farmers, ranchers, agribusiness leaders Agricultural organizations and agencies in New Mexico collaborated to expand upon an exciting new trend: more young people are taking up farming, ranching, and other careers in agricultural production in the Land of Enchantment.

Luke Woelber discussed the opportunities and challenges of running a family dairy. Luke just completed his term as President of Dairy Producers of N.M. and has served on the N.M. Beef Council.

Bruce and Trina Davis (top-left) hosted the NM Beef Council “Mentor Dinner“ at Cooperage Steakhouse during the AgriFuture Conference. Good company, great conversation and delicious prime rib topped the menu.

Conference attendees toured Haw Farms Dairy, a family run business near Belen, N.M.

Red Doc Farms hosted the young farmers and ranchers attending the AgriFuture Conference. The Sanchez family raise Santa Gertrudis cattle on their family ranch. In addition, the Sanchez’ grow hay on their valley farm location for their beef cattle and dairy. (L-R) Jericho Sanchez, Alicia Sanchez, NM Beef Council Director, Manny Casillas and Jessica Sanchez.

Coats and wind were in order for touring Red Doc Farms. Attendees enjoyed hearing about the transition from one generation of the Sanchez family to the younger generation of siblings and cousins. AGRIFUTURE cont. on page 196 JULY 2014

JULY 2014

IIAD Releases Mobile App to Enhance CVI Submissions from the Field he Institute for Infectious Animal Diseases (IIAD), a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Center of Excellence, in partnership with the Texas Center for Applied Technology (TCAT), a part of the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, have developed a mobile Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) application to support veterinary practitioners submitting animal health certificate records from the field. The technology was developed as part of the Institute’s DHS funded business continuity project, and in close coordination and collaboration with state animal health officials (SAHOs) in Colorado and Kansas. The mobile application was modeled after and builds upon the eCVI PDF form developed by the SAHOs in these states. The “iCVI” app is currently available for free download from Apple’s App Store and provides an easy-to-use, touch-screen interface for digitally entering animal health certificate data. IIAD’s iCVI strives to expand the toolbox of capabilities available to veterinary practitioners, allowing them to easily submit electronic animal health certificates, or store that information within the application for forwarding when data connectivity becomes available. This real-time information sharing is an alternative to email or web-based systems, and helps improve communication between veterinarians and state animal health offices by supporting certificate submission from the field. In addition to providing a mobile interface for CVIs, the end-user has the ability to print paper-based forms directly from the mobile application. Submitted CVIs can also be automatically and/or manually imported into state animal health information systems. “This new technology will help streamline the work flow for our veterinarians in the field,” said Bill Brown, DVM, Kansas animal health commissioner. “We want to make sure that tools are available to improve efficiency, as well as provide connectivity to the animal health network.” The submitted CVIs can also be made

available within IIAD’s AgConnect suite. AgConnect is a suite of customizable data integration and analysis products designed to enhance real-time animal health situational awareness, enable permissioned data sharing and support decision-making in the event of emerging, zoonotic and/or high consequence diseases. With permissions, state veterinarians will be able to visualize the iCVI data along with other data stored within the AgConnect suite (e.g., additional animal movements, premises, surveillance, diagnostic test results and other emergency response data), allowing for greater situational awareness during a disease event. Realtime data integration of the above mentioned data streams would greatly aid state animal health officials in making decisions on animal and animal product movements during a disease outbreak.

“The iCVI has tremendous potential to provide real-time information on livestock movements and improve the accuracy of that information to animal health officials,” said Keith Roehr, DVM, state veterinarian of Colorado. “It will definitely enhance animal disease traceability, which ultimately safeguards animal and human health.” iCVI is currently being piloted in eight states with several additional states looking to start their own pilot programs. During the pilot, IIAD will work closely with SAHOs and practicing veterinarians to refine and optimize this newly developed mobile application as needed. As part of future efforts, IIAD intends to expand iCVI to operate on other mobile platforms. The app was also recently presented on a call to the National Assembly of State Animal Health Officials (NASAHO). “There has been a significant interest from other state veterinarians in the iCVI project,” said Dr. Roehr, who is also a past president of the NASAHO. “This new development may be the ‘tipping point’ in moving veterinarians forward in using electronic means to issue certificates of veterinary inspection.” To learn more about IIAD, visit http://iiad.tamu.edu.

Stupid is as Stupid Does n the movie Forrest Gump, the hero is a nice man with a low IQ, whose simplistic reasoning usually made sense. His response to anyone who called him stupid was to say, “Stupid is as stupid does.” My interpretation of that phrase is, “You don’t have to be stupid to be stupid.” One can have a high IQ and still be stupid. Which leads me into my observation that we in America have the “luxury to be stupid.” And we seem to take advantage of that freedom on a regular basis regarding the Endangered Species Act (ESA), for instance. Another idealistic dream gone septic. Remember the Snail Darter? Extremists have used and continue to use the goofiest reasoning to achieve their goals which usually means, if something is productive and people make money from it, it must be evil. And the most unbelievable thing is that the appointed government regulators cower to the lunatics. When the ESA was conceived, it was a well-intended way to preserve certain species of animals and plants. But it has been subverted into a blind, clumsy, slobbering dinosaur controlled by extremist’s intent on driving Americans from public and private land. It is done in the guise of “protecting” a species. These enviro-ter-

rorists have thrown up a wall of legal riprap that blocks any consideration of economic impact or common sense in the discussion. The famous spotted owl fiasco put 90 percent of Oregon’s federal forests off limits to logging. Northern California became Appalachia. They have never recovered. Twenty-five years since the owl’s devastation began, the population of the spotted own has continued to decline and not a single enviro-looney has said they were wrong. They take no responsibility for the atrocity “Spotted Owl” has wrought. And the Dodo birds just keep moving along.

The Klamath water project in Oregon began in the 30s. The rivers and lakes became a symbol of American ingenuity and progress In the 70s the Indians and enviros wanted the Ag community shut down. The Indian tribe’s mechanism was the Coho Salmon. The enviros and their lawyers found two species of suckerfish. To prove the sucker was endangered and different from the millions of other suckers around the country, they found a minute DNA difference, making it specific to the manmade Klamath ditch in which they hatched. During the drought of 2001 the deferral court judge cut off water to 1400 farms and 90 percent of the valley’s farmland, devastating the whole Klamath eco system. His explanation . . . “The need to protect imperiled fish outweighed the economic needs of farmers.” You don’t have to be stupid to be stupid. In the Sacramento Bay Delta Plan, envirofites have chosen the Delta Smelt as its next weapon to take land out of production and turn it back into wetland. They think nothing of the destruction of a good chunk of California’s farming bounty. Greater Prairie Chickens, the Silvery Minnow, Casey’s June Bug and the Hay Springs Amphipod are one in thousands of potential symbols for the cause. They’ll never run out. ESA leaves no room for reasonable compromise. They use their ability to destroy and trample on their victims. They, like the EPA, are dictators and legal thugs. This disregard for the people’s rights demands a slap upside the head. Panda.org estimates up to 10,000 species go extinct every year. Name one. Saving the species can’t be all or none. Common sense and economic impact have to be factors. We do have the luxury to be selective . . . but not to be stupid. Just ask ■ Forrest Gump.

Lands News

My column addresses states and federal lands, hauling goods in a monument, and Yogi Bear and drones n my May column I wrote New Mexico and other western states had language in their state constitutions and enabling acts whereby they ceded control over unappropriated public land to the feds. The language in New Mexico’s constitution reads, “The people inhabiting this state do agree and declare that they forever disclaim all right and title to the unappropriated and ungranted public lands lying within the boundaries thereof . . .”.

ern states had been discriminated against because they were required to include the cession language. It turns out this is not even close to being correct. Lands were ceded to the feds before there was even a Constitution. Recall that our original colonies were created by grants, some of which read “from sea to sea”. Those claims were cut off at the Mississippi River by England in 1763 when they recognized Spain’s right to territory in the area west of the river. Of the original thirteen colonies seven had claims to western lands. This created friction between those states with land claims and the six so-called “landless” states, who worried about the size and power the landed states would bring to any union of states. Before the landless states would sign on to the Articles of Confederation they demanded the landed states cede

their western lands to the Confederation. Between 1780 and 1802 the states of New York, Virginia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia, in that order, ceded a total of 233 million acres to the feds. That 233 million acres wound up being in all or parts of ten states. Yet none of those new states formed are a “public land” state. For instance, the feds own less than one percent of Ohio and only three percent of Kentucky. Seven of our original states ceded lands to the feds, but those lands were converted to states where the feds have a very limited land ownership. How can this be? I’ll get into the disposal of federal lands next month.

In addition, the decision was made without consulting the residents of Glade Park nor the relevant county commission. Welcome to the world of National Monuments.

BLM allotments are actually within occupied bighorn habitat however recent documents indicate the agencies are expanding the Payette analogy beyond that occupied territory to vast additional areas through the West. Such expansion of removing sheep grazing would impact fully 23 percent of the nation’s sheep production and therefore jeopardize lamb and wool companies used by all sheep producers.”

icy memorandum that orders the superintendents of national park areas to prohibit landing, launching or operating drones on federal park land or water, an area covering 84 million acres. A Park Service spokesman indicated they were issuing the policy in response to safety concerns, noise complaints and an incident in which a drone reportedly separated some young bighorn sheep from the herd. There’s those bighorn sheep again. I think we are getting a little closer to the truth when the spokesman says they designed roads and trails so visitors could enjoy the park’s natural beauty but not impinge on it. “Now unmanned aircraft let people get into a lot of different places where we never intended human activity.” That’s close, but I think the Parkies don’t want members of the public or the media watching them as they go about their daily duties. In other words, they don’t want to be spied upon. I know how they feel. Till next time, be a nuisance to the devil and don’t forget to check that cinch.

The View

from the back side by Barry Denton

According To et me take you back to the early nineteen nineties in America. George H. Bush was still the president and we had just rescued Kuwait from the Iraqi invasion. Michael Jackson was at the top of the pop charts and guys like Alan Jackson and Toby Keith were on country radio. The economy was good and most folks were working. It was a pretty good time in America. Because we Americans are a curious lot, so began the “information age” to the chagrin of many a horseshoer and other equine professionals. Suddenly with the mass availability of information everyone became an expert on many different subjects. Computers were starting to become more common and the number of magazines became mind boggling. For years the great magazine the Western Horseman was a staple of western life as it carried news about rodeos, trail

rides, ranchers, and horsemen. Everyone that wanted to know what was going on in the horse world west of the Mississippi subscribed as it was pretty much the best source of news for western folk. I used to like Randy Steffen’s articles and drawings about some clever gate latch he had seen on some ranch or other useful tip. Mostly the magazine was full of news about the western way of life. Then the nineteen nineties began. I was shoeing lots of horses at the time and traveling constantly. One day I would be working on an expensive race horse and the next day I might be at a horse show. Every once in awhile a special job may arise at a ranch where an injured horse might need a bar shoe made or may have torn part of his hoof off in the rocks. Ranch cowboys took care of ninety five percent of their own needs, but sometimes a horse might need a special forged shoe. I always enjoyed these jobs as they were challeng-

ing and a good break from the high pressure farrier life of working in show or race barns. One such instance involved a torn up hoof on a broncy, but necessary ranch horse. On the phone the rancher told me this horse was pretty tough to shoe, but said he would have him fouled so I could work on his injured hoof safely. Since real cowboys know how to tie animals down that is what I expected when I arrived. When I got there the horse was tied down with a fifty five gallon drum between its legs. Bolted across each end of the drum was a four foot hard wood two by four. Attached to each end of the two by fours were horses pasterns laced carefully to rings in the board. I thought that was a pretty clever set up and asked them how they came up with that idea. They said there was an article in the Western Horseman about shoeing unruly oxen and they thought it might be easier for me than just having the horse tied on the ground. It was certainly easier as they just rolled the horse into whatever position I needed it in to work on. Thanks Western Horseman! A few years after that I was summoned to the barn of Erline Zook in eastern New Mexico. Erline told me that she had a horse with a special problem and needed some special horse shoes made. I went a little early on that appointment as my directions were sketchy and I thought it might take awhile to find the place. I tend to be an early morning person so I arrived in the little town and decided to have some breakfast at the one café that was there. The café was typical as there were a bunch of locals. Everyone was very friendly and advised me to pull up a chair. I asked if they knew where EZ Horse Training was located and they all laughed. One ol’boy piped up and said sure do. He explained it was about 4 more miles just outside of town. Finally I asked what was so funny and they explained that she had lots of boyfriends. After finishing my eggs and chorizo I was on my way to EZ Horse Training. I arrived at a very nice barn and well kept place. A split rail fence surrounded the entrance along with a vivacious flower garden. Erline met me at the front and asked me to come and look at her horse. I could see the problem right away and knew I could help. Instead of Erline letting me get to work she brought me a copy of the Western Horseman. She had read an continued on page 203

Backside

continued from page 202

article in there about a particular type of horseshoe she wanted on her horse and could I make her one? I said I could, but I thought there was a much more practical solution that would be better for the horse. Of course, Erline would not hear of it and insisted on the shoe described in the magazine. I said “okay” and started to unload my tools. While doing so I noticed the young lady that worked there preparing some horses to ride and was cleaning out their hooves. I asked if she cleaned out all the hooves there and she assured me she did as her boss’ back always hurt. With that information I went ahead and shod the horse the way I thought it would benefit the horse the most. When I was finished

she asked me to shoe another one, for which she had another copy of the Western Horseman in hand. This time her reasoning was completely nuts so again I just shod the horse the way I thought was best. Pretty soon six weeks had gone by and I got another call from Erline. She was ecstatic about how well the horses were

going that I had shod. She asked me back again to reshoe the two horses. When I got there she asked me to shoe the rest of her horses as well. She had a few more Western Horseman articles as time went on. As always I nodded my head and shod them how I thought they should be. This was the only horse trainer I ever met that never picked up her horses feet or if she did couldn’t tell what was on the bottom of them. Still clients paid her every month. There is nothing wrong with the articles in Western Horseman, and today there are lots more “How To” articles. However, the unintended consequences of inexperienced horse people interpreting this information is frustrating for professional horseman. Like Mark Twain said “Never read medical books as you may die ■ of a misprint”.

s long as the name of a national football team is deemed newsworthy by the popular media, and seems to be filling up quite a bit of time in Congress (while Rome is burning), I want to throw another hat in the ring. Pun intended. I learned a long time ago if you didn’t want to spend weekends, then Monday nights, then Sunday nights, and now Thursday nights alone or being really offended at being ignored that I had better learn at least a little bit about sports, football in particular. Over the years I have selected several teams to cheer for, often just to be contrarian. Being from the Southwest and my beau at the time I had this revelation, of course the favored team was the Dallas Cowboys. There were some great players back then and the coach Tom Landry was a man above reproach. Things are pretty different these days. Since Landry was dismissed from the Cowboys it hasn’t been the same team in my eyes. The success rate of the team now is a far cry from what Cowboys fans from yesteryear had become accustomed to. Since the team has declined so much, is it fair to real cowboys to continue to call these football players “cowboys?”

Just food for thought. Go Broncos!

Serious Media Rural America has been blessed for several years with RFD-TV. More recently the same folks, the Patrick Gottsch family and their Rural Media Group, Inc., have added the Rural TV channel and Rural Radio on Sirus XM Radio. But you can’t ever count on a good thing . . . especially when there is government involvement. “Comcast has been removing RFD-TV from many of their cable systems over the last year,” Gottsch reports on http://www.rfdtv.com and on Rural Radio. “Mr. David Cohen, VP at Comcast, explained the dropping of RFD-TV in Colorado and New Mexico in August 2013 in the House Judiciary Hearing on the merger by stating that Comcast is “primarily an urban-cluster cable company,” he notes. “That did not sit well with the rural Congressmen on the panel.” “Mr. Cohen gave no explanation for adding Al Jazeera America two days after taking RFD-TV down on those same Colorado and New Mexico cable systems, or for carrying BBC World News as an independent channel on all their systems. I also testified at that same hearing, and

asked the rhetorical question “Can’t there be room for at least one channel that serves the interests of rural America,” asks Gottsch. Now carriage of the rural, independent programming delivered by RFD-TV and RURAL TV is at stake with the potential merger of Comcast Cable with Time Warner Cable, and the separate merger of AT&T U-Verse with DIRECTV. If approved by the FCC, these two mergers will control over 54,000,000 homes affecting RFD-TV and RURAL TV viewers in all 50 states. At the present time Rural Media Group is NOT opposed to these mergers . . . emphasis on the “at this time.” Instead, Rural Media Group is working hard to raise the level of awareness of the plight of rural, independent programing in Washington, DC, and to insure that their channels are treated fairly with these mergers so that rural interests are protected. In May Gottsch testified before Congress and met separately with both the FCC (Federal Communication Commission) and the DOJ (Department of Justice). All were very interested in the potential effect of these mergers on rural America. These same people are now reviewing the potential mergers between Comcast Cable and Time Warner Cable, along with the pending merger of AT&T with DIRECTV. This is a big deal, and will essentially determine RFD-TV and RURAL TV’s carriage for the next several years on all these cable and satellite systems. At this time, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) wants comments from the public. Here is your chance to make your statement in support of RFDTV, rural programming and all those folks outside the “urban clusters” (this may be my new favorite term). Please visit www.rfdtv.com to learn how. The public comment period will close on August 25, 2014.

List of Horribles CARTER FAMILY Bart & Vicki Steven & Mila Michael Bryce & Dani Allisen & Kyle Alexis

creating this list it may as well serve multiple purposes. Congress will be headed into a five- or six-week recess around the first of August. Given that this is an election year, one would hope that candidates will have an open ear. Please free to share this information with them as often as possible. Here goes in no particular order: New Mexico Meadow Jumping Mouse: Listed as endangered on June 10. Critical habitat designation expect in August or September. On the northern front the U.S Forest Service (USFS) isn’t waiting until then to begin to harm small businesses and families. They first threatened an eight foot fence that would exclude all human activity including hunting, hiking, fishing, camping and grazing in the Jemez Mountains within the Santa Fe National Forest. All of this was to be done via a categorical exclusion (CE) which is a pass federal agencies can give themselves to avoid compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Fence construction was to commence on July 11. After media attention in the Albuquerque Journal, Fox & Friends TV and other outlets around the 4th of July weekend, folks began receiving letters on July 10. That letter contemplates “only” a five foot fence to exclude grazing with the possibility of eliminating dispersed camping. There is a 30-day comment period with an August 10 deadline for commenting. After that the USFS will go ahead and give themselves the CE and then proceed to build the fence . . . or that is the plan I am sure. Down south in the Lincoln National Forest there has already been one allotment where cattle have been fenced off water. We understand that more fences on are planned on a few more allotments. Hopefully the media attention will keep the fire hot and we can force the agency into following the law and complying with NEPA in the form of an environmental impact statement (EIS). It seems that should be the least the government should do before taking food out of Americans’ mouths and eliminating about 20 small businesses in one of the poorest states in the nation. There is no doubt that there will be litigation on this issue. There is even less doubt that we will need to seriously fundraise to pay for it. If you have a spare dime, please earmark it for litigation. Lesser Prairie Chicken: Listed as threatened on March 27. Awaiting critical habitat designation at any time. In a land-

mark effort for private, voluntary conservation, five states came together to develop a range-wide conservation plan to protect and enhance this bird. Ranchers, farmers and the oil and gas industry worked together. Millions of acres were committed to the plan as was tens of millions of dollars. But that didn’t satisfy the U.S Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) or better stated, it didn’t meet the demands of a deal made with the devil in 2012 to address hundreds of species in an impossible timeline. The FWS claims that it is/was that the Five State Conservation Plan will be followed and there is a portion of the rule, 4(d) which is supposed to provide protection for landowners. But there is always a catch. The Five State Plan was voluntary. It has become mandatory. Those added protections . . . well they are probably good until at least the next lawsuit. The litigation has already begun. The anti’s have already sued the FWS because

they don’t want the 4(d) rule AND they want the bird listed as “endangered” rather than “threatened.” On the other side, the oil and gas industry has already filed suit in Oklahoma and Texas. New Mexico’s land users will likely join in the fray in the immediate future. There are plenty of issues to litigate ranging from not following the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) to not using the best available science. For the cherry on top, it is being reported that the birds’ population in the occupied range is up 20 percent over last year. Mexican Wolf: To shortly recap, the FWS has two rule-making proposals on the table. One is to delist all wolves except the Mexican wolf. The other is to up list the Mexican wolf. There have been comment periods on both of these proposals and we are awaiting a decision from the continued on page 205

government. There is also a draft environmental impact statement that is expected to hit the streets by late July. It is expected that this document will propose an expansion of the range for the beast, as well as much increased numbers for them. There will be public hearings on the draft on August 11 in T or C, New Mexico and August 13 in Pinetop, Arizona. There is a lot of background noise about Ted Turner’s request to release Mexican wolves on the Vermejo Park ranch in northern New Mexico. The plan, admitted or not, is to have the Mexican wolves breed with the northern wolves to “add new genetics” to the fragile, inbred Mexican wolves . . . and to have wolves ranging from Alaska to Mexico. At the same time, the latest recovery planning effort languishes without a meeting in years. The FWS has been struggling to create recovery plans for more than two decades. Meanwhile back at the ranch . . . a growing wolf population is killing cattle in record numbers. Grizzly Bears: The Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) has filed a petition with the FWS to reintroduce this vicious

206

animal in New Mexico, Arizona and several other states. As silly as it sounds, under the current Endangered Species Act (ESA) it is required that the FWS consider the petition. If they don’t agree to introduce they will be sued. This probably won’t happen quickly, but don’t discount the possibility of it happening. Jaguar: Although there have only been sightings of males in the U.S. in the past 100-plus years, the FWS has listed the cat AND designated 764,207 acres of critical habitat in Arizona and New Mexico. The anti’s are not happy with that and have sued for more. This habitat designation will all but stop predator management in the Southwest. Snakes: The FWS has issued “threatened status for the northern Mexican gartersnake and the narrow-headed gartersnake, both native species in Arizona and New Mexico. The listing becomes effective August 7. The listing includes a 4(d) rule that will exempt operation and maintenance of livestock tanks on private, state and tribal lands from the prohibitions on “take” of listed species. Some northern Mexican gartersnakes occupy stock tanks, or impoundments maintained by cattlemen as livestock watering holes. The special rule will allow landowners to

construct new stock tanks and to continue to use and maintain those stock tanks on non-federal lands, which may be occupied by northern Mexican gartersnakes, without the need for further regulation. See the lesser prairie chicken to see what happens to 4(d) rules. Lynx: Waiting for listing Yellow Billed Cuckoo: ditto That’s just the endangered species horribles. Now we move on to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and others. We are in a comment period on the Waters of the US (WOTUS) proposal that threatens to take control of every drop of water in the nation. The comment period ends on October 20. A little jewel that came with the proposal was the Interpretive Rule (IR). The IR was published in late April 2014 but comments were open until July 7. The Interpretive Rule (IR) is an element of WOTUS and has direct impact on agricultural exemptions and the future of voluntary conservation. The rule is supposed to make agriculture feel better by exempting us from the WOTUS . . . if Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) practices are followed. Not only does the IR make conservation regulatory not voluntary, it puts some conservation methods so far out of reach financially that conservation simply won’t occur. On July 2 the EPA stated in the Federal Register that by the authority of the Debt Collection Improvement Act (DCIA ) of 1996 it issued a proposed rule that “will allow the EPA to garnish non-Federal wages to collect delinquent non-tax debts owed the United States without first obtaining a court order.” According to the Treasury Department, under DCIA, such debts include “unpaid loans, overpayments or duplicate payments made to federal salary or benefit payment recipients, misused grant funds, and fines, penalties or fees assessed by federal agencies.” The EPA explains that, “Prior to the enactment of the DCIA, Federal agencies were required to obtain a court judgment before garnishing non-Federal wages. Section 31001(o) of the DCIA preempts State laws that prohibit wage garnishment or otherwise govern wage garnishment procedures.” Then we have international border issues. People living along the Mexican border have been arguing for a secure border for literally decades. Now we find that the border has fallen and illegal aliens are streaming into our states. If they come in along another state border, the U.S. Border Patrol is transporting them to our states and in some cases just turning them loose. Watch the national news for “the rest of ■ the story.

Tougher emissions rules dividing Democrats by REID WILSON, WASHINGTON POST hen President Obama announces new rules governing carbon emissions from coal plants, some of the loudest cries of opposition are likely to come from members of his party. The regulations, aimed at combating a rapidly changing climate by implementing state-by-state limits on greenhouse-gas emissions, will shine a spotlight on a growing division within the Democratic Party: On one side are major donors, who take a particular interest in environmental causes and are becoming increasingly important to the party. On the other are candidates from energy-producing states — where regulations on coal-fired power plants could have the most detrimental effects — whose fates will decide control of the Senate. The rule is one of the most significant steps the government has taken to curb greenhouse-gas emissions. Those candidates — most notably Sens. Mary Landrieu (La.), Mark Pryor (Ark.), Mark Begich (Alaska), Kay Hagan (N.C.) and, to a lesser extent, Mark Udall (Colo.) — are on the front lines of the battle for the Senate. Their Republican opponents will almost certainly use Monday’s announcement to attack them. “Every American’s electricity bills will get more expensive, and we will force-feed those electric bills back to every Democratic candidate,” said Brad Todd, a Republican strategist working for Hagan’s and Pryor’s opponents. “When any politician gets caught making life more expensive for the middle class, he or she is in harm’s way.” Landrieu has been the most vocal Democrat resisting the administration’s environmental proposals. In May, Landrieu introduced a measure with Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) that would have immediately authorized construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, a bill co-sponsored by Pryor, Begich and Sen. John Walsh (Mont.), another energy-state Democrat facing a tough fight this year. As chairman of the Senate Energy and Commerce Committee, Landrieu has used campaign advertisements to tout her influence as a boon to Louisiana’s oil and gas industries. Last week, she guided Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz on a tour of oil and gas hubs along the Gulf Coast. Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes (D), who faces a tight

contest against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R) in the heart of coal country, has said she would use the Senate seat to try to curb the “most restrictive” regulations on coal-fired power plants. “Coal keeps the lights on in Kentucky — plain and simple — and I will not stand idle as overreaching regulation adversely impacts jobs and middle-class families,” Grimes said in September. After the EPA proposed limiting carbon output, Grimes said the Obama administration “has taken direct aim at Kentucky jobs.” Democratic strategists say their energy-state candidates have to make clear their opposition to the forthcoming EPA rule, lest it hurt their chances. “If I were running, I would get the governor to sue and try to tie it up in the courts,” said Jim Cauley, a Kentucky-based Democratic strategist who managed Obama’s first Senate campaign. “Coal has just become the cultural litmus test as to whose side you are on.” That puts big Democratic donors for whom environmentalism and climate change are leading causes, led by California investor and billionaire Tom Steyer, in the awkward position of supporting candidates who don’t take the same view. Steyer has said he will spend up to $50 million of his own money and an additional $50 million through his NextGen Climate Action PAC on Democratic candidates in the 2014 midterm elections. Steyer has not directly spent money on behalf of Landrieu, Pryor, Hagan or Grimes. But his money will at least indirectly help energy-state Democrats: Steyer has contributed $5 million to the Senate Majority PAC, which has spent heavily in Louisiana, North Carolina and Arkansas. A Senate Majority PAC spokesman declined to say whether Steyer’s money came with stipulations on where it could be spent, but regardless every dollar spent elsewhere frees another donor’s dollar for Landrieu, Pryor, Hagan or Grimes. “People do recognize that ’14 is a pivot year for climate, because of the fact that on an everyday basis people are feeling a direct, immediate pocketbook impact on their daily lives,” said Chris Lehane, a Democratic strategist who advises Steyer. Races that Steyer and others are investing in are contests critical to maintaining a Senate majority. “You’ve got to win Iowa, you’ve got to win New Hampshire, you’ve got to keep Colorado” to keep the majority, Lehane 208

said. In each state, Steyer-funded ads will point to immediate threats posed by climate change, whether through droughts, flooding, fracking or public health. “As much as I love polar bears and I love butterflies, we’re not going to be talking about them in these campaigns.” The balance between acting on environmental issues that are high priorities for Obama and the left and creating jobs in energy-producing states represented by Democrats has come up several times in recent years. Energy-state Democrats have pushed the administration to approve the Keystone XL pipeline and open new lands for oil and gas exploration. Strategists close to those big donors say they are less concerned with Landrieu’s position on oil drilling or Pryor’s support for Keystone than the larger goal of salvaging the Democratic majority in the Senate. “This race is not about fracking, it’s about control of the United States Senate and a number of public policies that will be affected by that,” said David Kenney, a Colorado Democratic strategist who bundled more than $1 million for Obama in the 2012 election cycle and organizes fundraisers for senators visiting Denver. “I

haven’t heard anybody say I won’t vote for this person or that person over fracking. Every conversation I’ve been in is, we cannot lose the United States Senate.” Instead, environmental groups such as the League of Conservation Voters place a higher priority on EPA regulations, where they say the battle over climate change will be won or lost, than on Keystone, which would have a relatively small impact. LCV said it will spend money to defend Hagan and Begich even though they support the pipeline because the pair have defended previous EPA rules. “This is the biggest step we’ve ever taken for the biggest challenge we’ve ever faced,” said LCV President Gene Karpinsky. “There are some incumbent senators who are consistently on record against us, and so be it. But we will be standing with those senators who stand for clean air and public health.” The Democratic debate over energy policy and climate change is further complicated by governors, particularly in Western states, where oil and gas industries make up a significant part of the economy. Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) and Montana Gov. Steve Bullock (D) are ardently pro-fracking. Even California Gov. Jerry Brown (D), caricatured as the ultimate 1970s liberal and who has called for urgent action on climate change, signed a measure in 2013 regulating the fracking industry. The first drilling in California is likely to begin this year. Early in Obama’s first term, the intraparty tension cost the White House a key policy priority. The Democratic-led House passed cap-and-trade legislation by a narrow margin, with several energy-state Democrats voting no. Despite a 60-seat Democratic supermajority in the Senate, the bill never stood a chance because Democrats such as Landrieu and Pryor would never have voted for it. (When he first won his Senate seat in 2010, West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin III ran a campaign ad in which he took a shot, with a hunting rifle, at the cap-and-trade bill.) The disconnect between donors who live in big cities on the coasts and elected officials who have to balance budgets and create jobs in energy-producing states causes tension within the party. “For us, it’s not a social good. For us, it’s our livelihood,” Kenney said of oil and gas exploration, which makes up 11 percent of Colorado’s gross domestic product. “I’d politely suggest they send their checks and let us figure out our public policy,” he ■ said of donors who think otherwise.

n Texas A&M trials, the unthinkable is taking place. Hamburger from grass fed cattle isn’t safer, healthier, or more palatable than hamburger produced from those corn fed, flatulent launching, confinement lounging fatties that are being accused of poisoning our nation’s clean water supplies. In fact, the opposite may be rearing its scientific, unbiased head. As an example, measured oleic acid (the acid shown to reduce bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol), has been measured to be 32% higher in the fatties than from the free ranging leanies. The leanies are also producing more saturated and trans-fats. Ohhhhh . . . Before all of this gives somebody the heebie-jeebies, though, an article from the March journal Annals of Internal Medicine may throw some cold water on all of it. The entire forced diatribe since 1961 promoting the evils of beef may wind up being not the multi-billion dollar hoax many of us have long known it to be, but more . . . trillions of dollars.

Educated Incapacity

Futurist Herman Kahn invented the phrasing, but Ron Arnold brought it to a broader audience. Arnold, operating out of the Seattle area, used the expression describing liberal journalists who have been “taught to be blind” so they don’t have to look into major issues of our time that run countercurrent to the standards of their liberal enclaves. Educated incapacity is their chronic ailment. They suffer from this seemingly terminal anomaly. The condition is the “learned inability to understand or even perceive a problem much less (suggest) a solution”. Daily, we are learning of the length and breadth of the cultural gyrations this malady has forced upon us. In an era that education is continued on page 211

Educated Incapacity continued from page 210

purported to be continuous and cutting edge, the ability to rationalize anything aside from an entrenched paradigm is largely nonexistent. Arnold used the model of Big Green to expound upon the condition, but, universally, the same forces of progressivism permeate all productive deficit disorders of our society. This certainly spans politics. It also includes government, conservation, health, education, journalism, and too much of science. Those who actually create a physical product are becoming the exception and not the rule, and they are the primary targets of . . . the educated incapacitators. The genesis

The name is Ancel Benjamin Keys. Keys set about studying the dietary conditions that seemed to promote longevity. One phase of his quest was to detail the diet of peasants from the Mediterranean island of Crete. Another was to determine what was taking place in places like Yugoslavia, Italy and Finland that contributed to long lives. The length of time from commencement of the work to conclusion of results spanned from the end of World War II to 1961. It was then Keys landed a position on the nutritional committee of the American Heart Association (AHA). The AHA, of course, was hugely influential and it afforded a stage of gigantic proportions for Keys. There was some skepticism on the part of AHA in the Keys premise that animal fats were the root cause of most afflictions, but the organization succumbed to his hypothesis. Their decision was based largely on the absence of parallel studies defending animal fats. Since there was no rebuttal, the Key work stood without comparative review. The consensus was derived by default. Fats, most specifically saturated fats, were labeled detrimental to health. Beef was nominated to the unbecoming position as the ultimate vector in the spread of the underlying disease complex. By 1977, the progressive bias was gaining critical mass. It was then a Harvard nutritionist and Keys protégé, Mark Hegsted, convinced a Senate committee to recommend the Keys diet. This was made official and universally emphatic when the USDA adopted Keys based guidelines in 1980. The storm trooping incapacitators were

in business and beef was declared public enemy Numero Uno. The malicious truth

Meanwhile, attempts to duplicate the Keys findings were constantly running into difficulties. In fact, a reported one billion dollars was burned trying to duplicate and dissect the premises of his so called research. Troubling findings took place. It started with his work on Crete. The initial, critical Crete research was done on post war island residents when

beef was not available because of war induced rationing. The absence of beef was a temporal condition not a permanent one and certainly not a cultural preference. Furthermore, the survey was done during Lent when the islanders were foregoing their limited supplies of meat and cheese for the Easter season. Keys’s assessment was corrupted. He purposefully picked and chose his study groups. He excluded France where healthy omelet and beef eaters drank gallons of continued on page 212

alcohol to enhance their culinary experiences. He also bypassed Switzerland, Sweden and West Germany where abundant fat consumers didn’t suffer from high rates of heart disease. The truth would reveal he picked and chose his study replicates to conform to his own biases and to substantiate a desired outcome. Moreover, the hoax was ultimately predicated not on the data he represented as 655 samples, but a few dozen men. The beef industry was made villainous, the participants slandered, and the United States government underwrote a war on beef of historic proportions. Educated incapacity facilitated the assault, shaped the public perception, and then frolicked and toasted their good work to their like minded fold. “Personal ambition, bad science, politics and bias derailed nutrition policy over the past half-century”, and . . . it’s killing people. The emerging science

The Texas A&M work is hugely welcome, but it also demonstrates the lingering expanse of corrupted societal norms now emanating from the tenets of false science attached to the entrenched Keys dietary recommendations. In his recent article in BEEF, TAMU researcher Stephen B. Smith makes a statement that highlights the point. His sentence, “Ground beef from grassfed cattle naturally contains more omega-3 fatty acids than from grain-fed cattle (three times as much), but is higher in saturated and trans fats” subtly suggests the enduring Keys premise that saturated fats are bad. That is what society has long been led to believe and that is what science has ostensibly blessed in terms of dietary recommendations in order to avoid heart disease among other ailments. That is counter cantering to the revealed study published by the Annals of Internal Medicine. The study also suggests there have been extensive unintended consequences. One example is the outcome of switching from fatty meats to carbohydrates. Excessive carbohydrates have led to epidemic proportions of obesity, type 2 diabetes and the very heart diseases that were blamed on fats. Another outcome is the massive switch to vegetable oils. Studies are now indicating that people consuming large amounts of those oils are more vulnerable to cancer and anomalies like gall stones. They are also more likely to die from suicides. Spec-

ulation suggests that psychological behavior disorders might be related to brain chemistry caused by these dietary changes. It may be caused by fatty acid imbalances and the depletion of cholesterol. Vegetable oils are also known to create cirrhosis of the liver and even early death. That outcome was certainly not what Americans bargained for when they were convinced to give up butter and lard. Women may be killing themselves in ever greater numbers by adhering rigorously to these dietary guidelines. One example is the insistence of maintaining low cholesterol levels. Studies now reveal HIGH levels of total cholesterol are equating to longer lives at ages over 50. The long and the short of this debacle is that Americans are growing sicker and fatter under the nation’s dietary guidelines that trace lineage back to the so called scientists like Keys. The half century of vilifying and foregoing the consumption of beef, eggs, and whole fat dairy products has now become a modern day American deception. Who among us have heard about this nutritional study? The problem we face is the sanctity offered by societal defenses that protect the hordes suffering from educational incapacity. We are also churning these sophisticated automatons out in not just increasing numbers but accelerating rates of increase. There is too much invested in their existence and their reserved fiefdom to expect self correction. Who involved would step up and admit the horrors of this debacle? Who among them would even understand the plight they have wrought? Ron Arnold best expressed the reach of the institutional framework of this new order populated by the likes of Ancel Benjamin Keys. He wrote, “The . . . movement is a mature, highly developed network of top leadership stewarding vast institutional memory, a fiercely loyal cadre of competent social and political operatives and millions of high demographic members ready to mobilize as needed.” He is right, and . . . America is paying the absurd price. Stephen L. Wilmeth is a rancher from southern New Mexico. “Someday a treatise must be written on the endless endurance and the immensity of societal contribution by the cow. This society is not yet ready to understand those implications.” Posted by Frank DuBois on The Westerner

good idea to have it, so I could get out and see cattle, too, when the weather was nice. But it seemed that we seldom got to use it, because we would take it up use it a few times, then Charlie’s parents would come up, then it would be broken down and we would have to tow it back. That could be quite an adventure, going back down that steep mountain road. I would have to ride in the jeep and ride the brakes on the steepest parts so that Charlie wouldn’t burn up the brakes on our pick-up. He didn’t believe in slow, either. It could get a little wild in that rough old jeep! Once when we were home and went into town for groceries to take back, Charlie wanted to go out to the vegetable stand because he was craving watermelon. We bought a couple of watermelons, a cantaloupe and some tomatoes, which I love. Charlie’s mouth was watering all the way back and up that mountain, thinking about those melons. We put those melons in the spring to cool and went to bed when we got back. The next morning, Charlie left on horseback as was normal, and I started hauling water for dishes, Scott’s bath, drinking and cooking purposes. When I got to the spring, I didn’t see the melons. I walked around on the other side of the spring, and sure enough, there was a few small pieces of water melon and cantaloupe rind on the bank. I picked them up and looked at them. There were claw marks down each piece. We knew then that we had a bear, and that the “critter” that Flipper was barking at was a bear. Charlie rode up while I was examining the rinds. He was very disappointed, having thought of the melons all morning. In fact, he was downright angry! At the end of the day, He drove back down the mountain to the small store and bought bread, sardines and honey. He opened the bread wrapper, poked a couple of holes in the sardine can and poured the juice in the bread wrapper. He then topped it all off with honey. He hung this concoction in the tree near the spring. He decided that we should stay up that night and watch for the bear, so we trained the pickup lights on the tree and turned them off. We got Scott situated in the cabin with the cabin window open a little and the pickup window open a little so that I could hear him if he cried. Then we went to the pickup. The plan was that we would take turns sleeping. However, Charlie was sleeping so hard that my turn never came. He finally woke up about thirty minutes before dawn, and decided I continued on page 215

had slept through the bear. I assured him that I had not slept at all, but he thought I just didn’t think I had slept. He went to the tree, examined the bread sack, and found it still intact. He decided the bear wasn’t coming so we went into the cabin and slept for a couple of hours . . . way past when we normally got up. It was good daylight when Charlie went out to the spring for water, and noticed the bear picnic on the ground. He came and got me to see. The bear had bitten through that sardine can, and it looked like it had been shot with a shotgun. The next night, I rebelled at sleeping in the pickup again, even though Charlie promised to take the first watch. He thought about it for a while, then decided the best plan was to hang the bear lunch again, but attached to a string that he ran to the cabin and through a hole in the wall to a point just above our beds. This he tied to an old cow bell that we had found. We knew that it would work, because we had Flipper, and he would let us know when the bear approached, particularly when he rang the bell. We went to sleep and slept soundly all night. Flipper never made a sound. We awoke the next morning, and Charlie checked. Sure enough, the bear had made another appearance, and ate the picnic again. Two more nights with the same results had Charlie throwing up his hands. I didn’t leave Scott unprotected again and Charlie made sure I had a gun at all times, but we didn’t see the bear. Fall was rapidly approaching, and Charlie was spending a lot of time riding out of our boundaries, trying to bring in any stray yearlings, because the fences were never very good. The elk who traveled through kept them torn down. He also had to do a little “recreational” roping on those wild burros Mike talked about the other day. That made his days a little more fun! Those burros would come tearing through the camp just before dawn most mornings . . . that is until Charlie roped them so many times that they tip-toed through any time they were close. We went home just before time to ship those yearlings out, with the intention of getting groceries since I was going to be cooking for five extra men who were there to help gather the yearlings. The extra men were sleeping in an old converted bus. One bright moon-lit night they awoke to watch two bears, a small and a large one circling the bus. They were ready to leave,

but they were stranded and had to stay to keep their jobs! My mother-in-law insisted that I not take more food up the mountain on this trip, so we wouldn’t have to pack food back down the mountain. I was a little worried that I would not have enough food for all of

those men, but Charlie reminded me that we could run back down that mountain to the little general store and buy more if I ran out. That pacified me a little. Edith would be coming up with a larger crew the day before we drove the cattle down to the continued on page 216

scales, and would bring the food for that crew. I was counting the days. Then the second day of the gather, it snowed about a couple of feet of snow, making the gather even harder, and causing Donald to ride down the mountain a couple of days later to put off the shipping for three more days. Now I was really getting worried about the food. Each day, I would cook a good dinner at noon, and then add whatever was left over to a stew that I kept simmering on the back of the stove. At night, I would take the pot of stew out to the pickup and set it inside, where it would stay frozen until I brought it back in the next afternoon. I had every meal planned down to the last can, package and cup of flour and cornmeal. I had enough eggs, if I didn’t eat any for breakfast. Okay. Not a problem. Those cowboys came in every day, cold, wet, tired and hungry. They needed to be fed well! And with all of that snow, and all of that work, no one could get down that mountain for more food. One night, everyone was crowded into that little cabin, and I couldn’t get out to

put the stew into the pickup. Charlie was near the door so I passed it over to him and asked him to put it into the pickup. He misunderstood and sat it onto the hood of the pickup. Next day, I had one can of tamales and one can of chili left, as well as that stew. I decided I would have to feed them the stew for lunch. Donald planned to ride down to the little village of Ocate that afternoon to try to get the rest of the crew in. He had a friend who lived in Las Vegas, NM, with a four wheel drive vehicle who was willing to loan it to get everyone in. The cowboys would have to ride in, because a trailer could not get in. This was the largest early snow the area had ever known. I went out to get the pot of stew. It was a big heavy pot with a cast iron lid. I found that pot on the ground in front of the pickup, the cast iron lid lay discarded on the hood of the pickup and the stew pot sat empty on the ground, claw marks in the bottom. The bear’s personal signature! We shared the can of tamales, the can of chili, and a little piece of cheese I found in the refrigerator, and a few crackers. Donald left to go to get the rest of the crew, promising me more food. The yearlings, now gathered into a large “trap” near the

cabin, were ringing that trap as fast as they could walk, walking fat off their frames all the while. Charlie and the other men were kept busy, trying to make sure they did not break out of that trap. Now the thaw was setting in, and the yearlings were bogging down, making them work even harder in their circuits of the trap. Donald had taken one cowboy with him to lead his horse back up the mountain, and he showed back up in time for supper, bearing a canned ham, cheese, and store bread for sandwiches. Donald got everyone back up the mountain, although it was nearmidnight when they all arrived. The following morning, Edith sent word to me that I needed to cook breakfast for everyone. I had to send someone for groceries, then I spent a couple of hours feeding cowboys and cleaning up the dishes. I just finished bathing Scott when the women and children started straggling in for breakfast. Thankfully, the noon meal was provided by Edith and I helped with that and the clean-up, followed by the preparation of supper and the clean up of that meal.

ture about 12 miles away, where Donald had permission to over-night them. They came back, and the next morning, after breakfast which I again cooked for everyone, we packed up and Charlie drove me to the bottom of the mountain, and in fact to the pasture where the cattle were. We women then drove to the scales and waited. It was a long day, but I was very glad to be finished with Ocate. It was a great experience, even though the cattle didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do as well as we hoped. Charlie and I, young as we were, learned a lot of valuable lessons â&#x2013; and lived to tell the tale, as you see.

Wal-Mart’s warning to the world by LAWRENCE LEWITINN, WWW.FINANCE.YAHOO.COM/BLOGS he official unemployment rate is down. But, if you think that means more money in the hands of consumers to spend at stores such as WalMart, guess again. Wal-Mart U.S. CEO Bill Simon has remarked in interviews that the discount retailer isn’t seeing the gains in employment trickling down to the chain’s cash registers. Simon said to CNBC: “I think the economic numbers – the unemployment numbers in particular – have been difficult to read with the number of people dropping out of the workforce. And I think it’s going to take a while – six months or more – for the numbers to balance out . . . Hopefully after six years, we’re starting to gain a little bit of traction and that traction is coming at the top end. I think the middle and down is still pretty challenged.” If a strong jobs report doesn’t mean more sales for the likes of Wal-Mart, is that a warning to the economy as a whole? “This is obviously an economic problem,” said Gina Sanchez, founder of Chantico Global. “Wal-Mart is a big bellwether, so it’s worth looking at to understand what’s happening.” Retailers get hurt if employment numbers don’t translated into meaningful wage or disposable income growth, said Sanchez, a CNBC contributor. “Wal-Mart actually does well when the economy’s doing well,” she added. “We’re seeing all of these upbeat numbers. We’re seeing proof that we are generating more jobs. But, we’re not really generating more income – or at least not a lot of income growth – and that’s important.” Without income growth, “people have just scaled back in terms of their spending,” Sanchez said. “That’s hitting WalMart, and I think it’s going to hit the retail sector.” Ari Wald, head of technical analysis at Oppenheimer & Co., is pessimistic about Wal-Mart and the retail sector in general. “It’s a sell,” said Wald about Wal-Mart. “It’s in my least favorite sector. I just don’t

think the consumer staples in general have enough juice to keep up with this equity market. And, Wal-Mart fits into that boat.” What worries Wald about Wal-Mart is its chart. He sees a distribution pattern over the past year, indicating signs of a potential top. “You’re seeing volume confirm that as well, where each subsequent rally has been . . . on lighter trading volume and this is a very big concern,” he said. Though the stock currently trades in the $76 range and Wald doesn’t believe a top is confirmed until it breaks below $72, he doesn’t believe investors should wait to get out of the stock. “Best case scenario, the stock continues to move sideways [and] underperforms a rising equity market,” Wald said. “I think it’s a sell. I think your funds are better used ■ elsewhere.”
