PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Dear NMCGA members & fellow cattle producers

by Pat Boone NMCGA President

hings are good here in our part of the world. Our country is green, we have a little tank water, and the cattle are coming to water early and staying late. Calves are getting fat and I hope the market continues its upward surge and we all can sell our cattle high this fall. Most of all, I pray rains come, and soon. I know there is a lot of our state that is still dry, and some folks are even selling cows. Hopefully the monsoons will set in and everyone will grow some grass. The wolf continues to howl outside our door. Latest news from US Fish & Wildlife is that they are holding Mexican wolf Recovery Plan meetings in New Mexico and Arizona between July 18- and 22. We are advising that attending these meetings is a waste of time. We do, however, strongly encourage everyone in New Mexico and Arizona to submit written comment on the draft recovery plan. FWS service has told us that they are holding these meetings even though they don’t have to, so that they can explain their plan to the public. Do as you wish, but we feel that the written comments are enough. Speaking of written comments, we thank each and every one of you who took the time to send in comments on the monument process. We have a better feeling right now than we have had, and we hope our comments play a big part in getting the monument designations drastically reduced. We are coming to a time when more and more of us are going to have to speak louder and louder and LOUDER if we expect to hold on to our way of life. Rapidly approaching is our Ranch Days gathering at Ogden’s Farm and Ranch in Loving on July 26. If you haven’t made plans to attend, there is still time. Contact the office if you need help. Alisa and crew have a busy day lined up for us, and good food is on the agenda for the day also. Come see how things work where cotton, hay, oil and gas, and cowboys all operate on the same place. Hope to see you there. Our fall NMCGA board meeting will be in Albuquerque on August 30. All of you are welcome to attend. Call or email if you need information. It’s that time of year! County fairs are starting up right around the corner. We all need to support our youth programs and our Ag folks as much as possible. Our county fairs are a bridge to the town people so they can see what we do. The average American is almost three generations removed from the farm so education is vital. Before they will support us they need to understand us, and county fairs are a great messenger. Please support the calf scrambles at the Eastern New Mexico State Fair in Roswell and the Southern New Mexico State Fair in Las Cruces also. The last year or two we have had some protest over calf scrambles and we need to support them any way we can. They are wonderful events for our young people, and we need to support them financially and also with our presence. Lastly, there are interim legislative meetings going on around the state through the month of November. If you have time, try to stop by one. They are a great venue to learn about issues we are facing, and also a good time to meet and get to know legislators. We need you to get involved-we need each and every one of you. Until next time, I pray the rains come and your cattle get fat. May your horses stay sound for the work to be done.

habitat in 1982, just how many people have moved into the region in the last 35 years? How many roads have been built? How many hundreds of thousands of acres have burned? Then there are the “threats to the Mexican wolf.” Threats to a species are the determinations the FWS uses to decide if a species is threatened or endangered. There are five factors in the Endangered Species Act (ESA): 1. The present or threatened destruction, modification, or curtailment of its habitat or range; 2. Over utilization for commercial, recreational, scientific, or educational purposes; 3. Disease or predation; 4. The inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms; 5. Other natural or manmade factors affecting survival. The FWS recently assessed threats to the Mexican wolf and determined that the Mexican wolf was in danger of extinction due to illegal shooting, genetic issues

(inbreeding, loss of heterozygosity (…) and loss of adaptive potential), and small population size. More recently, the FWS described four stressors (conditions that may influence the current and ongoing recovery of Mexico wolf) in the draft Biological Report for the Mexican wolf: 1. Adequate habitat availability/ suitability; 2. Excessive human-caused mortality; 3. Demographic stochasticity associated with small population size; 4. Continuing or accelerated loss of genetic diversity associated in the captive or wild populations Stressors and threats are highly related concepts, but not be one in the same. For example, for the Mexican wolf, habitat destruction, modification or curtailment is not threatening or endangering the Mexico wolf, yet ensuring adequate habitat is available to support recovered Mexican wolf population is central to the recovery effort for the Mexican wolf (e.g., a potential stressor). It was tough enough retyping that section. Now I need help in determining exactly what is meant by it! This is just a

taste of the 43-page document, which is actually small compared to recent wolf documents issued by the FWS. To obtain a copy of the Mexican wolf draft recovery plan please visit: www.fws. gov/southwest/es/mexicanwolf/MWRP.cfm

Then it gets worse… One of the issues that has plagued ranchers who have been forced to live with wolves is documenting wolf kills for the pittance of compensation that might be available. With calves the primary issue has been finding anything left of a carcass to make a determination on whether or not it was a wolf kill. One NMCGA member recently thought he had the perfect documentation. A photo was taken of a wolf trotting through the pasture just off of a road with a calf’s head in his mouth. Not so much. The kill was documented as a “probable” kill instead of a kill because the rest of the calf’s body couldn’t be located. My suggestion was that they necropsy the wolf to find the rest of the calf. Nobody thought that was funny. Now the rancher has to prove the calf whose head was in the wolf’s mouth was alive when the wolf showed up. The photo

doesn’t establish that. Other lame excuses included that there was no proof of when the photo was taken and that calf could have been still-born. The call of a “probable” kill diminishes the compensation even further.

Other Moves On the Washington, DC Front The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies marked up their FY 2018 appropriations bill, the first step in the appropriations process in mid July. Highlights of the that bill are as follows: ЇЇ Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) – Funded at $275 million with state and local recreation and battlefield preservation programs prioritized ЇЇ Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) – Funded at $465 million ЇЇ Bureau of Land Management (BLM) – Funded at $1.2 billion (a reduction of $46 million from FY 17 enacted levels) $20 million reduction in funding for land acquisition Level funding of $68 million for on the ground sage grouse conservation ЇЇ National Park Service (NPS) – Funded at $2.9 billion (a reduction of $64 million from FY 17 enacted levels) $55 million targeted to park operations and maintenance to reduce the maintenance backlog ЇЇ U.S. Forest Service (USFS) – Funded at $5.2 billion

ЇЇ

Nearly half ($2.5 billion) is targeted to wildland fire prevention and suppression. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) – Funded at $1.5 billion (a reduction of $38 million from FY 17 enacted levels) Prioritizes funding to reduce the Endangered Species Act (ESA) backlog, refuge backlog, and to fight invasive species Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – Funded at $7.5 billion (a reduction of $528 million from FY 17 enacted levels) The bill continues language from previous years that prohibits the use of funds to write or issue a proposed rule for greater sage-grouse and/or the Columbia basin distinct population segment of greater sage-grouse Wild Horses and Burros – The bill allows the Secretary of Interior to transfer excess wild horses or burros to other federal, state, and local government agencies for use as work animals and that horses and burros transferred to other agencies lose their status as a wild free-roaming horse or burro. Animals cannot be

slaughtered for commercial purposes, and can only be euthanized under the recommendation of a licensed veterinarian in cases of injury or advanced age. ЇЇ Gray wolves range-wide - No funds may be used to treat any gray wolf in the lower 48 states as an endangered or threatened species. The bill also directed FWS to reissue the final rule to delist wolf populations in the Great Lakes and Wyoming within 60 days. At the same time the US House Appropriations Committee marked up and vote on the Fiscal Year 2018 Agriculture Appropriations Bill. The passage of this bill for the past decade has included language that effectively outlaws horse slaughter in the United States by blocking funding for the USDA to pay inspectors for horse slaughter facilities, but today’s passage will go without that amendment. These committees are just the first stop for appropriation measures. They will move to the House Floor & then move over to the Senate for passage. There will likely be conference committees between the House & the Senate before anything is final. These bills are to fund the fed. govt. for fiscal year 2018, which commences on 10/1/2017.

With Spring Rain Comes Growth

aith of new life in the spring has been instilled in ranchers and farmers generation after generation. Spring brings the promise of new growth on our land in the way of crops, grass, and the addition of calves to our herds. Spring branding this year was a little different in our family. Our youngest, Hallie, decided it was time for her to take an active part in the activity just as her brothers had years earlier. With this decision her cousins (5 and 2) also decided they would help. Hallie has never believed she was too small or too young to get in and help, she was always ready to go get this or that when asked, but this year she wanted to really get in and help. While watching her observe and take small roles in the branding, I realized Hallie truly believed there wasn’t truly a growing season. The season

NEW MEXICO FEDERAL LANDS NEWS by Frank Dubois

An abuse of federal law that is harming many New Mexicans

A monument worthy of revision

e’ve received word it is highly likely Secretary Zinke will be coming to New Mexico to fulfill his obligations to review recent national monument designations, and that would include the almost 500,000-acre Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument (OMDPNM). That is the designation with which I am the most familiar, and I believe Secretary Zinke should concur with the recommendation of Rep. Steve Pearce that the monument be diminished to only include the footprint of the Organ Mountains. That would be the proper and reasonable approach to take for the following reasons: ЇЇ If one is looking for a classic case of

federal overreach, this is it. The Antiquities Act of 1906 authorized the President to protect “historic landmarks, historic and prehistoric structures, and other objects of historic or scientific interest” as monuments. How? By reserving parcels of land. How much land? Those parcels, “in all cases shall be confined to the smallest area compatible with proper care and management of the objects to be protected.” Just the opposite occurred in Dona Ana County. The boundaries were drawn years ago by the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance. Over the last eight years five different bills have been introduced in Congress to create either a combination of Wilderness and National Conservation Area or Wilderness and National Monument. Since none of these bills advanced beyond the committee level, the hunt was on to find objects to justify the already established boundaries. Some of the objects listed in the President’s proclamation don’t even exist in the monument, as they reside on private or state lands. In other words, the process was bass akwards and clearly

an abuse of the Antiquities Act. The end result of this “process” is a 496,330-acre monstrosity that is in four separate parcels, separated by two Interstate Highways, two cross country railroads, the Rio Grande River, a major gas pipeline, a major fiber optics line, encompasses a major southern tier FAA radar site, and overlays four major energy transmission lines. Those are some of the technical reasons this designation should be diminished. But there are many more reasons, with some examples being: ЇЇ The so-called “listening session” in Las Cruces by former Secretary Jewel was a complete sham. The well-funded enviros bussed in their supporters from Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Silver City and El Paso. The Dona Ana County Sheriff, Todd Garrison, who was opposed to the monument, was barred by U.S. Marshals from entering the hearing room. An orchestrated, stacked deck event had occurred. ЇЇ Given the monument’s close proximity to the border with Mexico, ЇЇ

the limitations placed on federal, state and local law enforcement concerned many folks, and explains why the designation was opposed by Sheriff Garrison, and why it was also opposed by the New Mexico Sheriffs Association, the Southwest Border Sheriffs and the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers. The southwest border with Mexico has been called a “gaping wound” by Trump’s Secretary of Homeland Security, John F. Kelly, and designations that place limits on law enforcement will inhibit healing that wound and place public safety in jeopardy. The proclamation creating the OMDPNM has the most anti-livestock grazing language of any National Monument where grazing is still allowed. Ranchers face the prospect of not being able to conduct standard daily ranching operations; of not having new range improvements approved; and in some cases, not being able to maintain existing range improvements.

Since only 10 percent of Dona Ana County is privately owned, limitations on the current use or potential future use of federal lands has a detrimental impact on all of its citizenry There are many other issues, including watershed restoration, flood control, dam maintenance, rights of ways for utilities and so on, but those listed should give Secretary Zinke plenty of fodder to recommend diminishing the size of the monument. ЇЇ

The politicians speak Both New Mexico Senators are opposed to the review, and NM Rep’s Lujan-Grissom and Lujan have stated their opposition. At a recent Congressional hearing, Senator Tom Udall asked Secretary Zinke flat out, “Will you commit to me today that you will respect the wishes of the vast majority of New Mexicans and maintain the existing boundaries of these two monuments?” Concerned that Zinke did not directly respond, Senator Udall issued a statement saying, “I will stand with thousands of New Mexicans, including sportsmen and small business owners, and fight to ensure their wishes are protected, and these monuments are not undermined in a political effort by the Trump adminis-

tration to sell off our public lands to the highest bidder.” Rep. Steve Pearce, who represents the area where the monument resides, is very much in favor of the review. “The Obama Administration, and the Administrations before it, repeatedly abused the Antiquities Act by creating expansive national monuments,” said Pearce. “New Mexicans,” Pearce continued, “and folks all across the nation, deserve to have access to federal lands for recreational use, hunting, grazing, and the economic opportunity that comes with it.” At a recent Congressional hearing on the House side, Pearce told Zinke, “The Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument is a very highly volatile issue in the district,” so much so that even, “when the Democrats owned the House and had a filibuster-proof Senate and Mr. Obama was in the White House, they still could not get this passed through law because it was so contentious.” Pearce handed the Secretary a list of over 800 “businesses and individuals” who wanted to see the OMDPNM, “not revoked, but taken back down to the smallest footprint.” In other words, to only include the Organ Mountains proper. Both NM Senators and other opponents of the review are fond of touting the economic benefits the monument designation has purportedly brought, including increases in visitors, in tax revenue, and even in the creation of new businesses. These arguments shouldn’t carry much weight with anyone. The icon and main attraction of the monument is the Organ Mountains. Images of those mountains are what appear on advertisements, websites and other venues promoting the monument. Under the Pearce proposal, the national monument would still exist and the Organ Mountains would still be in the monument. Whatever economic benefits which may be occurring would still occur. Nothing would have changed on that front and it is therefore a faulty argument in opposing the review and revision of the monument’s boundaries. I look forward to Secretary Zinke’s visit to southern New Mexico. Until next time, be a nuisance to the devil and don’t forget to check that cinch.

NEW MEXICO’S OLD TIMES & OLD TIMERS by Don Bullis, New Mexico Author DonBullis.biz

he New Mexico Territorial Penitentiary opened for business and accepted its first prisoners on August 21, 1885. New Mexico territory did not have a prison of its own prior to then and didn’t have many

New Mexico Prisons

Then & Now county jails, either. What few detention facilities existed were “…small, filthy, frail and insecure,” according to Territorial Governor Lionel Sheldon (1828-1917). “Escapes are almost as easily made as from a paper

band-box,” he added. Sheldon took the lead in establishing a territorial lock-up. “There is no reason why a penitentiary in New Mexico should not be self-sustaining. Convict labor can be employed,” he said in his 1884 message to the legislature. His main concern seemed to be that the territory was spending more than $10,000 every year to house prisoners in Kansas and Iowa, and even as far away as Illinois. Sheldon added that a prison would serve as “an ever-present menace, and would prove of itself one of the strongest and most effective deterrents [to crime] which we could employ.” The legislature agreed and authorized the issuance of $150,000 in ten year bonds to build the prison in Santa Fe. It would be located at the corner of St. Francis Drive and Cordova Road. It was to be 56 feet wide and 76 feet long, and four stories high, generally modeled after prisons in Joliet, Illinois and Ossining (Sing Sing), New York. The wall was to be two feet thick and 20 feet high. Construction began in July 1884. In February 1885, in what may have been a harbinger of things to come, four convicts, while engaged in quarrying stone for the prison, managed to escape custody by taking guns away from their guards. Two of the escapees were recaptured and the other two, so far as is recorded, never returned to New Mexico. The governor fired the guards. If that wasn’t embarrassing enough, in August 1885, just one week before the facility was to be inspected and approved by the Prison Board, three more men escaped and were not recaptured. Thus, before the New Mexico Territorial Penitentiary ever officially opened, before it housed a single inmate, five men escaped from it. Prisons of the time were designed and operated for the purpose of punishment. Rehabilitation was not a part of the program. The rules in the Santa Fe prison were strict. Letters could be written and visitors received by inmates only once per month. Talking was held to a minimum, and only between cellmates. Conversations with prisoners in other cells were not permitted. Guards of the time were armed and given continued on page 30 >>

BLM Requests Input for Future Planning Efforts & Environmental Reviews

he Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced that it is requesting ideas and input on how the agency can make its land use planning procedures and environmental reviews timelier and less costly, as well as ensure its responsiveness to local needs. This effort to improve the planning process comes after the President’s March 27 approval of House Joint Resolution 44, which nullified the BLM’s Planning 2.0 rule. “The decisions made in land use plans and environmental reviews are fundamental to how public lands and resources are used for the benefit of all Americans,” said U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke. “The Trump Administration and the Department of the Interior are committed to working with state and local governments, communities, Indian tribes, and other stake-

holders as true partners to determine the best ways to accomplish this, now and into the future.” Acting BLM Director Michael Nedd said the agency is already working with state and local elected officials and groups, including the Western Governors’ Association and the National Association of Counties, to engage and gather input. “We are doing this because Secretary Zinke and President Trump both strongly believe that public engagement, especially at the local level, is a critical component of federal land management,” Nedd said. “We need and want input from our state and local partners as well as from the general public in this effort.” All can submit ideas and provide input during a 21-day period beginning July 3, 2017 and ending July 24, 2017 at this online form: goo.gl/CYxqM5 The BLM will incorporate information from this effort in a report to Secretary Zinke due later this year. The BLM manages more than 10 percent of the nation’s land and 30 percent of the nation’s subsurface minerals. Resource management plans (RMPs) provide a framework for land use authorization decisions on BLM-managed public lands, including those relating to subsurface Federal miner-

als. Most such land use authorization decisions are preceded by review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Through the public NEPA process, the BLM analyzes the effects of proposed plans and land use authorization decisions and discloses them to the public. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask the BLM in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM’s mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In fiscal year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

The program helps participants learn about topics and issues relevant to New Mexico and acquire knowledge about themselves, such as their leadership strengths and approaches, and communi-

cation preferences. To accomplish this goal class members participate in direct experiences and interactions with a variety of businesses, social settings and political environments, both domestically and internationally. “We want to develop knowledgeable, multicultural leaders for New Mexico’s food, agricultural and natural resources industries,” Trueblood said. Beginning the program as Class 12 are Jeff Mayberry, Mayberry Farms in Artesia; Sam Hagelstein, First American Bank in Artesia, commercial loan officer; Denise Hayes, accountant, and Eric Nez, bean crop manager, Navajo Agricultural Products Industry in Farmington; Jeff Anderson, NMSU Cooperative Extension Service agricultural agent in Dona Ana County; Beverly Idsinga, Dairy Producers of New Mexico in Roswell, executive director; Shannon Berry, Ag New Mexico Farm Credit in Clovis, senior relations manager; and Katie Kruthaupt, New Mexico Department of Agriculture in Las Cruces, soil and water conservation district specialist. Members of the 11th class who graduated from the program are Lacy Levine, NMDA program manager, agricultural programs and resources division in Las Cruces;

NEWS UPDATE by Labradoodle Bennington, III

EPA Proposed Rule Rolling Back WOTUS

Source: EPA, Western Caucus

n June 27,2017 the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Army, and the Army Corps of Engineers (the agencies) released a proposed rule to rescind the Clean Water Rule and re-codify the regulatory text that existed prior to 2015 defining “waters of the United States” or WOTUS. This action would, when finalized, provide certainty in the interim, pending a second rulemaking in which the agencies will engage in a substantive re-evaluation of the definition of “waters of the United States.” The proposed rule would be implemented in accordance with Supreme Court decisions, agency guidance, and longstanding practice. This proposed rule follows the February 28, 2017, Presidential Executive Order on “Restoring the Rule of Law, Federalism, and Economic Growth by Reviewing the ‘Waters of the United States’ Rule.” The February Order states that it is in the national interest to ensure that the Nation’s navigable waters are kept free from pollution, while at the same time promoting economic growth, minimizing regulatory uncertainty, and showing due regard for the roles of Congress and the States under the Constitution. To meet these objectives, the agencies intend to follow an expeditious, two-step process that will provide certainty across the country. The proposed rule would recodify the identical regulatory text that was in place prior to the 2015 Clean Water Rule and that is currently in place as a result of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit’s stay of the 2015 rule. Therefore, this action, when final, will not change current practice with respect to how the definition applies. The agencies have also begun deliberations and outreach on the second step rulemaking involving a re-evaluation and revision of the definition of “waters of the United States” in accordance with the President Trump’s Executive Order.

Courtesy of the Congressional Western Caucus On February 28, 2017, President Trump signed Executive Order 13778 requiring the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works to review the Obama Administration’s Waters of the United States (WOTUS) Rule and rescind any aspect of WOTUS inconsistent with federal law in order to ensure economic growth, restore the Rule of Law and minimize regulatory uncertainty. On March 25, 2014, the EPA and the Corps released a proposed rule that would assert Clean Water Act jurisdiction over nearly all areas with even the slightest of connections to water resources, including man-made conveyances. WOTUS was slated to go into effect August 28, 2015. Fortunately, the Sixth Circuit issued a nationwide stay and temporarily blocked implementation of this rule. The Obama Administration’s WOTUS Rule would cause significant harm to rural Americans throughout the country, including

JULY 2017

farmers, ranchers, small businesses, water users and other property owners. This flawed mandate directly contradicts prior U.S. Supreme Court decisions, which imposed limits on the extent of federal Clean Water Act authority. More than 200 organizations and local municipalities have publicly declared their opposition to the proposed WOTUS rule as a result. The Heartland Institute has stated, “In reality, the language of the EPA rule is so vague this ‘clarification’ could grant Washington, D.C. jurisdiction over any body of water anywhere. It was to apply to any water or wetland deemed to have a ‘significant nexus’ to any navigable waterway, with the significant nexus, as described by a Wall Street Journal editorial, so widely interpreted as to include ‘any creek, pond or prairie pothole’ and ‘any land within a 100-year floodplain and 1,500 feet of the high water mark or, alternatively, within the 100-year floodplain and 4,000 feet of waters within their claimed jurisdiction.’ Essentially, the WOTUS rule would put EPA in charge of every piece of land occasionally containing any amount of concentrated water, practically down to the puddle level.’” On May 12, 2015, the House passed H.R. 1732, the Regulatory Integrity Protection

US Funding Dubious Science & Unfounded Fear Eco-militants that defiled scientific integrity in government agencies defy corrections by Ron Arnold

onald Trump’s EPA is facing a tsunami of vitriol for trying to drain the DC swamp of rogue regulators that rule with made-to-order scientific lies and invented threats, such as its ruling that the carbon dioxide which makes life on Earth possible is a pollutant. When President Trump proposed a $1.6 billion cut from EPA’s expected $8.1 billion budget, employee screams of doomsday intimidated Congress into forking over the full gimme-gimme. In response to the specter of lost jobs and less political power, entrenched Obama holdovers have organized to sabotage Trump’s reforms in what is being called the Deep State.

need of review.” The question remains: Who opened America’s public coffers – mostly without competitive bidding – for Ramazzini and its New York-based affiliate Collegium Ramazzini, the advocacy cooperative of scientists and researchers in the grant-gobbling Ramazzini circle? Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests by the Energy and Environmental Legal Institute (E&E Legal) confirm that the money came from HHS’s National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and the National Toxicology Program. Since toxicologist-microbiologist Linda Birnbaum became director of both in 2009, the two agencies provided $92 million, one third of Collegium members’ support. She

herself is a Collegium member. A knowledgeable source says she got the NIEHS-NTP appointment largely because she was willing to expand the agency’s mission to include the health effects of climate change, while the other candidate for her job was not. According to public records, Birnbaum’s NIEHS contracted with Ramazzini and its affiliates – through multiple third parties – muddying it up what services were rendered under these contracts and how they were prearranged. Another Ramazzini fellow, Dr. Christopher Portier, a senior collaborating scientist for the anti-pesticideEnvironmental Defense Fund, and a well-known anti-glyphosate activist, worked for an HHS agency for 32 years. He initiated a report claiming

the common weed killer glyphosate (used in Roundup herbicides) is carcinogenic. It was the only study among many that made this assertion, but activists used it to call for banning Roundup, which is often used in conjunction with genetically engineered crops to eliminate the need for weeding and tilling, thereby reducing erosion. The president of Collegium Ramazzini is former NIH researcher Dr. Phil Landrigan, now a professor at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. According to reports, Director Birnbaum coordinated with Dr. Landrigan to publish more than two dozen Ramazzini studies in the NIEHS-run journal, Environmental Health Perspectives. Landrigan also received substantial funding from Birnbaum’s NIEHS, E&E Legal reported.

HOME SPUN by Jim Olson

Going Above and Beyond

t had been a long and dusty morning of sorting cattle. There were four of us “temps” hired to help for the busy season. We got done a little early that morning and decided to have an early lunch while we waited for the boss to return. After lunch, we still had a little down time. As we lounged around the barn, one ol’ boy named Mike busied himself cleaning up old feed sacks and just tiding up in general. A couple of the other guys started giving Mike a hard time. Saying he was just cleaning up to make himself look good in case the boss drove up. Mike replied that it just needed doing, so he was going to do it. One of the guys who accused Mike of looking busy just in case the boss drove up said, “By golly, we’ve worked hard all morning sorting those cattle. I don’t need to look busy just so the boss thinks I’m working when he drives up. If he can’t look in those

corrals and see what all we’ve done, without being told or shown, then he’s a bone-head anyway.” It was a feeble excuse to explain his actions of sitting there doing nothing while Mike picked up. I watched this little exchange with interest. Being only eighteen, I was still very impressionable, and a little rebellious, so I was unsure which side to align myself with. After a little while, one of the guys who had been giving Mike a hard time, gave another little jab. He said, “You know, I’m sitting here earning the same money as you. Ha!” To which Mike replied, “If you never do any more than you’re paid for, you’ll never be paid for any more than you do.” I later learned it was an old saying, but I thought that over for a moment and was convinced that ‘ol Mike was a sure enough wise one. A genuine cowboy philosopher. After thinking for a minute, I decided to jump up and help out. While the two of us worked hard, cleaning up that dusty barn, those other fellows sat there on their duffs, giving us a hard time. Before long, we heard a pickup arrive. All of a sudden, those two guys jumped up and acted like they had been cleaning right along with us. When the boss walked in, he looked around and commented that the barn sure

looked great. One of the guys who had sat there giving us a bad time piped up and said, “Thanks. It just looked like it needed doing.” What a counterfeit, I thought, but didn’t say a thing. Neither did Mike. Then we all went out to the corrals. While looking over the cattle, I became more upset by the minute. I told myself it wasn’t fair that the whole barn cleaning idea belonged to Mike and that he’d done most of the work. Then this other guy stepped right up to claim credit. It just wasn’t right! After a bit, the boss was getting ready to leave. I had a chance to pull him aside for a moment without being too conspicuous. I told him, “You know Sir, cleaning that barn while we waited was all Mike’s idea and he did most of the work.” I figured that was the right thing to do without stepping over the line and becoming a tattle-tale against my fellow cowboys. The boss grinned and said, “I figure as much.” I was puzzled and asked how so? He explained, “Those two over there are lazy and suck-ups. While they do their jobs just fine, they wouldn’t have the initiative to go above and beyond what’s expected of them. You—you’re too young and inexperienced to be a leader, so I figure it wasn’t your idea. And I know ‘ol Mike, he’s the kind of guy who knows you’ve got to chop wood before you can have a fire. Watch his work ethic when you’re around him. It’ll do you good.” At the end of the season, when extra help was no longer needed, Mike was kept on to fill an open position—the rest of us were let go. Later on, I heard Mike was promoted to boss and wound up overseeing a large cattle operation for a big-time operator. Those other two guys, well I heard they are still working for, basically what amounts to minimum wage. They spent their whole lives complaining about management and never doing any more than what was expected of them. And their paychecks still reflect it to this day. Me. I’ll always remember that day. It was the day it finally sunk in, what several successful old-timers had told me along the way. The day I saw advice meet application. The fact that if you want to succeed, if you want to earn more, you have to go above and beyond what is expected.

talents in and out of the arena. When Byron wasn’t on the rodeo road he spent his time training horses, playing golf, giving roping lessons or working as an actor and stunt man in the film industry. Byron was a friend to everyone he met, often the story is told that he couldn’t go anywhere without someone knowing who he was. He was known for his infectious laugh, cracking jokes, a stern “bear paw” handshake and a smile that shined brighter than any gold buckle. Byron was a loving husband and father. He is survived by his wife Leanne, mother Carol Carrell, daughter Megan (Aaron), son Clancy (Robin), daughter Carol (Kenny), sister Daphene (Robert), and brother Keith (Leah).

Mary Lou Fischer, 84, Tucson, Arizona, passed away peacefully on May 22, 2017 in her home in following a long bout with Alzheimer’s. In spite of the ravages of the disease, Mary Lou was able to maintain her unique, happy personality and never showed frustration with the mental limitations it placed on her. Mary Lou was born in Chicago, Illinois on December 14, 1932 to Louie and Virginia Ascher. She married

JULY 2017

Arnold Levinson in 1950 and in 1952 they made a drastic and adventurous change from the city life they had grown up in when they moved to Tombstone, Arizona to live in a duplex owned by Mary Lou’s father. In the early 1960s she began attending the newly opened Cochise College, attained an Associate’s Degree there and transferred to the University of Arizona, completing her degree in Education after years of night school and summer school, often making the 140 mile round trip three times a week. By the late 1960s she became an English teacher at Tombstone High School where she was an inspiration and mentor to many students. After a divorce and a move to Tucson, she became a much respected and beloved counselor at Pima Community College. In 1984 she married Herman Fischer, coach and principal at Tombstone High School. Mary Lou was an extraordinary woman. She was a lifelong learner with a zest for life and an insatiable intellectual curiosity. She enriched the lives of everyone she met, always finding something good in everybody she met and encouraging them to take advantage of their talents. She was empathetic and non-judgmental (and always fun to be around). One anecdote speaks volumes of

her personality: Mary Lou was a compulsive tipper. Theater ushers, janitors, Dairy Queen servers... it didn’t matter. None of them could escape her generosity. While some might think this a little extreme, she would explain that her life was so good that she had to share her good fortune. Above all, Mary Lou cherished her family. In addition to her husband Herman Fischer, she is survived by her sisters and best friends, Agnes Stephan, Chicago, Illinois, and Helen Leather, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico; children Louie (Myra) Levinson and Diane (Harley) Kurlander; two grandchildren as well as many nieces and nephews. Pete Woolsey, 76 Dewey, Arizona, passed away on April 20, 2017 at his home. He was born on April 25, 1940, to Rube and Jesse Woolsey, in his grandmother’s house in Safford, Arizona. His dad worked on ranches around the state, so from an infant to a young teen he lived and loved the cowboy life style. He went to school in Florence, Globe, Hillside, Safford and in 1955 his family moved to Prescott. He graduated from Prescott High School in 1958. Following his love of cowboy life he also worked on ranches after graduating and was introcontinued on page 50 >>

IN MEMORIAM << cont. from page 48 duced to team roping by some of the best cowboys of that era. In his late teens he met and fell in love with Martha Henderson, a rancher’s daughter from Dewey. After a few years of dating they were married on January 26, 1963. Together they raised, two children Peri Jo “Skeeter” and Gerry Rube. Pete worked jobs from driving a school bus to working in feed lots, all the while roping when he could. He helped produce some of the biggest roping’s the state of Arizona had. In his later years Pete stepped away from producing roping’s and became in his words, a “professional athlete”. He was known for riding great horses and being a tough competitor. His biggest win came in his early 70s in Las Vegas, when he won $46,000. When he was interviewed after the win he told the reporter his biggest achievement was his family. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Martha; daughter, Skeeter; son, Rube (Carrie), three grandsons; sister Sally (Hank) Mills; three nephews; a niece, many cousins, great-nephews and great-nieces.

She graduated from college in 1950 and accepted a teaching position in Santa Rita, New Mexico. After teaching there for two years, she decided to move somewhere warmer which brought her to Douglas. In Douglas, she met and married her husband of 50 years, Harry Fralie. Together, they built the home where they lived for 60 years and raised two daughters. During her 33-year teaching career, she taught thousands of students at several different schools. She enjoyed teaching reading and physical education the most. She was passionate about helping kids become successful young adults and had an innate ability to remember the names of her students even until recent years. After she retired, she enjoyed spending time with her family and traveling with her husband. She is survived by her daughters Lenna (Marcus) Mitchell and Margi (Dale) Cureton, sister Carol (Weldon) Smith, step-brother Clinton Dunagan, four grand-

Donald “Don” Oppliger, 68, Amarillo, Texas, died June 4, 2017 in a helicopter crash in Castro County, TX. Don was born April 7, 1949, in Columbus, Nebraska, to Edward and Edna Oppliger. He graduated from Columbus High School in Nebraska and attended the University of Nebraska. He married Joi Christopher Aug. 14, 1976, in Blair, NE. Don owned and operated the Don Oppliger Companies, which include feedlots, farms and ranches spread across roughly 150,000 acres in Texas, New Mexico and Nebraska. He began his business in 1980 with rented farmland in Hereford, and quickly began expanding it with the pur-

chase of a 15,000-head feedlot in Farwell. Don then acquired a 35,000-head feedlot in Clovis in 1991 and later purchased his first Nebraska farm in Lincoln County on which he built a 55,000-head feedlot, which he later expanded to 70,000 head. In the last decade, Don acquired multiple ranches across eastern and western Nebraska and additional farmland and feedlots in Nebraska and Texas. His integrated and diversified operations also included a dairy and a trucking company. Despite the complexity of the operation, Don somehow managed to track the many details of his businesses in his head and a small notepad he kept in his shirt pocket. He loved cattle and enjoyed checking on his many pastures and feedlots from the cockpit of his plane or helicopters. Aside from attending Nebraska Cornhusker games, farming and flying were his favorite hobbies. Survivors include his wife, Joi; son, Benjamin (wife, Katie), Amarillo; one granddaughter; sisters, Rita Peters (husband, Don), Elkhorn, Nebraska, Diane Thompson (husband, Joe), Lincoln, Nebraska, and Phyllis Olson (husband, Ralph), Columbus, Nebraska. Johnny Carl Cammack, 74, Nara Visa, passed away on June 22, 2017, in Lubbock Texas as a result of injuries in fighting a

range fire. Born November 10, 1942, in Tucumcari to Addison “BOB” and Kathy Cammack, John was raised on the family’s ranch 17 miles NE of Nara Visa. He was always a very hard worker, regardless if it was building fence, branding, working cattle or studying to further himself so he could reach his dream of owning his own ranch one day. He attended school at Nara Visa, Amistad and graduated from Logan High in 1961. He attended New Mexico State University obtaining a Bachelors Degree, enjoyed being on the rodeo team, riding bareback horse and competed in several of the RCA rodeos. Next he went to Texas A & M where he received his Masters degree and then spent the next several years as a Lab Assistant in Reproduction Physiology while earning his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Degree in 1971. He chose to work at the Golden Animal Hospital, a well known facility for treating performance-type horses. He then moved to Arapaho Animal Clinic owned by Dr Farrow,a close friend. Eventually he was offered a position at the State of Colorado Racing Commission as a Track Vet and quickly began a program of “testing” differcontinued on page 53 >>

IN MEMORIAM << cont. from page 51 ent drugs and their effects on horses and dogs. As the project progressed as an accepted standard in the racing world, John visited a number of the surrounding states documenting his findings. After his father passed in 1986, John made a choice to follow his dream of ranching. He bought the family ranch so he could move back to Nara Visa/Amistad/Logan areas to be near the people and land that he loved so much. For several years he also worked with his brother Jay at Camco Here fords. John was a very unassuming person who studied the Bible in detail and was a true believer. He strongly believed in self discipline, that planning plus hard work would eventually equal success, while treating everyone with honesty and respect was essential and most importantly, success is not success if you have to deceive, lie steal or cheat. He always enjoyed seeing and visiting with his many friends from his day of “Rodeoing” and the “Race Track” Days. John was involved with many local activities such as the Nara Visa Cemetery Association, the Nara Visa Community Center (OLD SCHOOL)and the Volunteer Fire Department. Surviving relatives are younger brother, Jay (Linda) Cammack, Nara Visa; along with a nieces and nephews, several great nieces and nephews; and his ranching buddy, Kohl Clemmy, Nara Visa.

Terry Chandler, 65, Carlsbad, died on July 4, 2017 in Florida after a battle with brain cancer. She was 65 years old. Chandler became a fixture at NHRA national events when her brother, Johnny Gray, drove a Funny Car for Don Schumacher Racing. In 2013, Terry and Johnny decided to fund the car he drove as a tribute to their late father John R. Gray, a self-made man who rose to legendary status in the New Mexico and north Texas oil industry. Upon Johnny’s retirement from driving at the end of that season, Chandler began funding the team and added driver Tommy Johnson, Jr. Chandler and her husband, Doug, own and operate Chandler Aviation at the Cavern City Air Terminal in Carlsbad. Instead of flying the colors of Chandler Aviation on Johnson’s Dodge Charger, she chose to use the race car as a platform to promote awareness for a great cause. The car was painted and the transporters were wrapped with a striking Make-A-Wish design. She wanted her race car to be a “giving car.”

Chandler and DSR hosted “Wish Kids” and their families to the VIP hospitality pavilion next to the race team’s pit area on Saturdays at each of the 24 Mello Yello events held in 21 markets across the country. A few months after committing to fund the MakeA-Wish team, another DSR team appeared close to dissolving when Chandler stepped in to fund the Funny Car driven by Jack Beckman and donated its branding to the Infinite Hero Foundation, a non-profit organization that combats the most difficult front line issues by providing grants to help the physical and psychological challenges faced by returning military veterans. More than $300,000 has been raised by the sale of “challenge coins” Beckman carries on each run for a $100 donation to Infinite Hero and nearly $500,000 has been raised for the organization through Chandler’s

efforts. For the past two years, she funded the Riley Kids Funny Car to benefit Riley Hospital for Children in Indiana during the prestigious U.S. Nationals near Indianapolis. She contributed additionally during DSR’s annual Open House that weekend that also raised funds for Riley Kids, often bidding on items she would donate back to the effort. She funded countless Make-A-Wish dreams to provide monumental memories. Editor’s Note: Email caren@aaalivestock.com.

Support Grows for Thinning Trees to Combat Forest Fires as Wildfires Scorch West by Valerie Richardson, Washington Times

ith wildfires already raging through the West, House Republicans took a chainsaw to federal regulations that have created a fire-friendly environment on public lands by slowing forest-thinning and dead-tree removal. The House Natural Resources Committee passed the Resilient Federal Forests Act of 2017, moving to combat the rise in catastrophic wildfires by reversing what sponsors described as the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management’s “anemic forest management efforts.” “As we debated this bill, dozens of wildfires continue to burn in the Southwest,” said Rep. Bruce Westerman, Arkansas Republican and the bill’s sponsor. The Brian Head fire in southern Utah, the largest of 21 major wildfires currently

burning in the West, has razed 21 buildings, versely, since 1996, the average annual 13 of them homes, across 50,000 acres and amount of acres burned due to catastrophic forced the evacuation of 1,500 residents. wildlife totaled over 6.2 million acres per “Our forest health crisis can no longer be year.” neglected,” said chairman Rob Bishop, Utah As a result, Forest Service staff at the Republican. “Active management is needed national forests devote more than 40 to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire percent of their time to “conducting planand improve the health and resiliency of our ning and analysis instead of actively forests and grasslands.

Rep.

An April study by University of Montana at Missoula ecologists found that early forest thinning “creates tough trees that can endure climate change,” according to Science magazine. “For too long, we have failed to recognize that no action is a management decision on our federal lands,” Mr. Westerman said. “The forests continue to grow, regardless if there’s an action taken or not.”

Never Before Have So Few Fed So Many Sustainably producing such largesse is borne by a combination of things, of course: old and new, innovation built upon experience and attention to details in both genetics and management. by Wes Ishmael, BEEF

ever before in history have so few fed so many and fed them so luxuriously as U.S. agricultural producers do today. That observation is unoriginal, though the reality is often taken for granted — even by producers. “Since World War II, we have been the beneficiaries of the decreasing cost of food to where we spend less than 10 percent of our annual disposable income for food. One could argue that our entire consumer economy depends on having inexpensive food,” explained Dr. Laura Kahn at last fall’s annual convention of the Texas Cattle Feeders Association. “Agriculture and the food security it provides is really the foundation of civilization itself.” Kahn is a physician and research scholar with Princeton University’s program on science and global security at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. She’s also a co-founder of the One Health Initiative. Sustainably producing such largesse is borne by a combination of things, of course: old and new, innovation built upon experience and attention to details in both genetics and management. Consider things as mundane as grazing and weaning. Kris Ringwall, a beef specialist at North Dakota State University, points out in his BeefTalk newsletter that weaning calves early can save 25 percent of available forage. That’s based on research at the Dickinson Research Extension Center, weaning calves in mid-August versus early November. This concept isn’t new; dry cows have fewer nutritional requirements than lactating ones. Early weaning is often considered amid dry conditions like those currently faced by some producers in the Dakotas

and parts of the Southeast. “The real driver behind the pursuit for Producers are just as familiar with the faster genetic gain are the improved genetneed to tally the net economic trade-off of ics they bring into their herd,” Lawlor says. the management tool.

cant improvements in animal wellness and performance. However, our global leadership in animal mineral nutrition also comes with the responsibility to ensure our research is used to benefit society as much as possible. With this goal in mind, we have collaborated with leaders outside Zinpro to create the Zinpro Discovery Foundation.” Nutritionists have long known that trace mineral nutrition is essential to health for both humans and animals. For example, zinc deficiency negatively affects up to 2 billion people worldwide. For so many people across the globe, the difference between being healthy and unhealthy lies in only a few milligrams of zinc. The multiple systemic effects from zinc deficiency include growth retardation, weight loss, infertility, hair loss, mental and emotional disorder, impaired immune function and skin lesions. Zinc is just one essential trace mineral that shows benefits when supplemented to both animal and human diets. Other essential trace minerals, such as copper, cobalt, manganese, iron, chromium, selenium and iodine, also play key roles that benefit animal and human health. “Since our research in animal nutrition

has great potential to pave the way for breakthroughs in human health, we started a nonprofit organization to make that possible, and the Zinpro Discovery Foundation is the culmination of our efforts,” Scrimgeour says. The Zinpro Discovery Foundation welcomes donations to help raise awareness and knowledge about trace mineral deficiencies and how to improve human and animal wellness. Educational and research grants are allocated by a board of directors. The donation goal for 2017 is $1 million (USD) in educational and research grants. Grants are available to researchers and organizations through an application process that starts online at zinprodiscoveryfoundation.org. Details of the request include how a researcher or an organization would spend the funds if the grant is received. Requests are evaluated based on the applicant’s stated problem statements and project goals. To obtain additional information, including regular updates on active grants and recent donations, check online at zinprodiscoveryfoundation.org.

What’s Going on with Brazilian Beef?

shotgun shells. These were the essential contents, and we took great care when packing our boxes. No box was loaded onto the boat for the morning’s duck hunt until it had been approved. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue announced the suspension of all imports of fresh beef from Brazil because of concerns about the safety of the products. As a reminder from an earlier blog, there are three main safeguards against importing unsafe meat. They are: 1) equivalence 2) audits 3) re-inspections Country equivalence is a determination by FSIS that a foreign inspection program has demonstrated it can ensure meat exports to the U.S. meet our standards of protection. Periodic audits provide spot checks in-country to ensure the foreign

program is maintained. Import re-inspections occur at official import houses to verify that the product comes from an equivalent country, from a certified establishment in that country, and the product itself is eligible. They’re called re-inspections because the product was already inspected in the country of origin. Since March, FSIS has increased actual product inspections to 100 percent of all meat shipments arriving in the U.S. from Brazil. The agency has refused entry to 11 percent of Brazilian fresh beef products. That’s high compared to the refusal of 1 percent of shipments from the rest of the world. FSIS says it has refused entry to over 100 lots (almost 2 million pounds) of Brazilian beef since March due to public health concerns, sanitary conditions, and animal health issues. In case you’re wondering, the latest import data from FSIS shows over 74 million pounds of product from Brazil presented for re-inspection in 2015. There was a time when FSIS had only two tools available to it when there were repeated problems with a country’s meat exports. FSIS could suspend imports from an individual establishment, or suspend imports from an entire country. When I was managing the Office of International Affairs we added a third tool – suspension of a product category. This was the tool FSIS used for Brazil when it decided to suspend only fresh beef from Brazil. When fresh product is suspended, it’s usually due to a foreign animal disease concern or a product quality problem. In this case, it’s a mixture of both. According to a report by Meatingplace, Brazilian companies claim the suspension is due principally to the presence of foot-andmouth disease vaccine marks in some cuts of beef. The vaccine sometimes causes reactions that result in sterile abscesses in meat. The suspension of shipments will remain in place until the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture takes corrective action which FSIS finds acceptable. “Although international trade is an important part of what we do at USDA ... my first priority is to protect American consumers. That’s what we’ve done by halting the import of Brazilian fresh beef,” proclaimed Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue. This is as it should be. Before meat can enter the U.S., it must be approved. Like those old hunting guide boxes.

Victory for Family Farmer in Right to Farm Case

Source: Budd-Falen Law Firm, Cheyenne Wyoming

n June 1, 2017, in less than two hours after the parties’ closing arguments following a two-week jury trial, jurors rendered their decision and Edwin Hostetler and Western Slope Layers, LLC won the right to continue their family farming operation on their agricultural property outside Hotchkiss, Colorado. Even though this indoor, organic, chicken egg-laying operation had every county and state permit imaginable and had passed all environmental and safety inspections, Hostetlers were sued by a neighbor claiming that the dust particulates, mold and other “contaminates” were “physically trespassing” on her hobby farm and had caused her almost $600,000 in lost property value, medical expenses, annoyance and discomfort, and past, present and future bodily injury. A local jury, however, found that none of her claims were true and preserved the property rights of the Hostetlers and Western Slope Layers, LLC. Brandon L.

Fire May Be the Only Remedy for a Plague Killing Deer and Elk by Carl Zimmer, New York Times

ark D. Zabel wants to set some fires. Dr. Zabel and his colleagues are developing plans to burn plots of National Park Service land in Arkansas and Colorado. If the experiments turn out as the researchers hope, they will spare some elk and deer a gruesome death. Across a growing swath of North America, these animals are dying from a mysterious disorder called chronic wasting disease. It’s caused not by a virus or bacterium, but a deformed protein called a prion. When ingested, prions force normal proteins in the animal’s body to become deformed as well. Over the course of months, the multiplying prions can gradually wreck the animal’s nervous system, ultimately killing it. This year is the 50th anniversary of the discovery of chronic wasting disease. In the September issue of Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, Dr. Zabel, an immunologist at Colorado State University, and his former graduate student Aimee Ortega survey what scientists have learned about the slow-spreading plague. It makes for ominous reading. “There’s a lot that we still don’t know and don’t understand about the disease,” Dr. Zabel said in an interview. Once chronic wasting disease gets a foothold, it can spread relentlessly. It’s now documented in 24 states, and continues to expand into new ranges. In some herds, as many as half of the animals carry prions. It’s only been in recent years that scientists have gained crucial clues to how the disease spreads. Direct contact, it turns out, isn’t the only way that the prions get from one animal to another. Sick animals and cadavers spread prions across the landscape. Plants and soil may remain coated with deformed proteins for

years. Dr. Zabel now suspects that the only stare, they have a stumbling gait, their way to rid the land of them is to set con- heads are drooping, their ears are down, trolled fires. you can see thick saliva dripping from their It was at Colorado State University, in mouths.

The symptoms slowly worsened until Scrapie, for example, is a deadly disease the mule deer died. that afflicts sheep.

cows. The cows developed a prion disease of their own, called bovine spongiform encephalopathy, nicknamed mad cow disease. In rare cases, people who ate beef from the sick cows developed prions in their own brains. As of 2016, 231 people had died from the condition worldwide. Scientists long suspected that deer and related species developed chronic wasting disease by picking up scrapie from sheep flocks kept at Colorado State University. The disease then turned up in other states and Canada as animals were shipped to private game farms. A shipment of elk to South Korea brought the plague there as well. But Dr. Zabel now believes that the birth of chronic wasting disease may be more complicated. “I’m starting to second-guess the original hypothesis,” he said. Prions are misfolded versions of a naturally occurring molecule called cellular prion protein. Experiments carried out in Dr. Zabel’s lab, published in January, suggest that cellular prion protein in deer and related species may be unusually prone to misfolding. “We were able to generate a new prion,”

Dr. Zabel said. “Maybe this is a spontaneous disease.” That result might explain a startling finding last year: researchers came across a prion-riddled reindeer in Norway, the first time chronic wasting disease had been found in Europe. Since then, two more have

Dr. Zabel and other scientists are trying to figure out how chronic wasting disease has become so successful. One factor is how the prions spread through an animal’s body. They aren’t limited to the brain in deer, elk or moose. The prions also sweep through lymph nodes and the spleen. As a result, Dr. Zabel and other scientists have found, infected animals can release huge numbers of prions. “We found it in urine, in saliva and in feces,” he said. “They shed continually until they die.” Other members of a herd can get sick by making direct contact with a shedding animal. But the way the disease is spreading across North America suggests that the prions are also using other routes to get to new hosts. If deer got sick only by direct contact, for example, you would expect the outbreak to be most severe in the Midwest, where populations are densest. But some of the worst outbreaks are in the Rocky Mountains, where there are fewer animals. Mathematical models suggest that animals are getting sick from prions in the environment. In additional to the prions shed while a sick animal is alive, its cadaver

seen it show up in the feedyard. Most commonly is related to the ingestion of specific plants the animal has eaten. St John’s wort (Klamath weed) in the Northwest, agave and sachuiste in the Southwest, plus others including cultivated rape, horse brush and buckwheat. Sudan grass, clover or alfalfa have even been incriminated. Either through liver damage or directly, breakdown products of the plant enter the blood stream and circulate to the skin. There they become exposed to the sun’s penetrating rays. A chemical reaction occurs which damages the surrounding capillaries and tissue. Thick hair or darkly pigmented skin usually blocks out the sun’s rays so the reaction only occurs in the lighter areas. Following ingestion of enough plant toxins the affected critter’s skin begins to redden, itch and swell. By the second day the muzzle and eyelids have a burned appearance. With continued exposure to sunlight the skin dies, becomes hard and leathery and starts to peel at the edges of the eyes or muzzle. Looking at an animal in this condition can often be confusing until you feel the white parts of his skin. On a Hereford, the red-pigmented skin will be normal but as soon as you touch the border where the white begins, it feels like dry rawhide. It occurs in whiteface sheep, Herefords, Charolais, Holsteins, and anything with non-pigmented white skin. Supportive medicine to prevent infection and reduce inflammation may help out but SHADE is the only long-term treatment. They usually survive but the affected skin may peel plum off. I’ve even taken the ol’ blue lotion and painted a few. I did that to a Hereford steer one time and put a white paper star on his head. He looked like an American flag comin’ down the alley!

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.

“WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY….”

WITH TEXAS RANGE MINERALS.

Mark McCloy, Jal, NM I’ve been using Texas Range Minerals since 2006. Consumption seems to be what it should be and cows have bred at around 92-95%. Much of this time in a drought.

Art Roane, Double T Ranch, Ozona, TX Customer since 1997

Dennis Webb, Manager, Rocker B Ranch, Barnhart, TX

Our cattle eat the Hill Country Mix rained on or fresh. We had our best breed up of the ranch’s two-year-old heifers yet. The mature cows bred up quick also. Our sheep are using your mineral and staying in great shape, even though many have never had rain fall on them. Our weaned lambs continue to consume your mineral and sickness is a rarity. We have not provided any other supplement except your mineral and salt. And have marked 100% – 120% lamb crops including yearling ewes. Cost per head is low. Thanks for a great product.

We have been using TRM since 2007. These minerals are different than any I have ever fed. Since switching to TRM our cow cost have been low running around $22.00 per year plus conception rates and weaning weights have gone up. Even during the drought our cows bred up and did not get strung out. I like the fact these minerals are matched up to our grass and made for our different needs, cow calf, bloat mineral for calves on wheat and mineral for calves on grass. I can gladly recommend Texas Range Minerals to anybody.

Howard Head, DVM, Childress, TX I have used Texas Range Minerals’ Palo Duro Basin mix since 2005. The results have been extremely good. My breed back percentage stays at around 95% and we have no problems with foot rot, lumpy jaw, or respiratory infections. I can wholeheartedly recommend the product.

How Antibiotic Overuse in Human Medicine Impacts Beef Producers

by West Ishmael, BEEF from agnewsfeed.com

“I

f we don’t address the problem of antibiotic resistance, we may lose quick and reliable treatment of infections that have been a manageable problem in the United States since the 1940s. Drug choices for the treatment of common infections will become increasingly limited, and in some cases, nonexistent.” That’s a statement from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 1999. Dr. Kurt Stevenson shared it at last

year’s Antibiotics Symposium hosted by the National Institute for Animal Agriculture (NIAA). He is an infectious disease physician in the division of infectious diseases at Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center. “I can say very clearly that we’re at that point,” Stevenson explained. “We have patients now who have drug-resistant pathogens for which there is either one drug — or no drug — available to treat them.”

“We see this on a fairly regular basis in our medical center,” he said. “We have a number of patients who have very limited choices, and as a consequence, we have to use very expensive drugs and drugs that tend to have higher toxicity.” Ever since Alexander Fleming rediscovered penicillin in 1928, followed by wide-scale production in the 1940s, health care providers worldwide have continued to grow increasingly dependent on nature’s wonder drugs to combat bacterial infection. Doctors in the U.S. are no exception. Health care providers in the U.S. prescribed 266.1 million antibiotic prescriptions in 2014 — equivalent to 835 antibiotic prescriptions per 1,000 people, according to CDC. That’s equivalent to five prescriptions written for every six people each year. Today, the United States is the third-largest consumer of antibiotics in human medicine in the world, according to Dr. Laura Kahn, a physician and research scholar with Princeton University’s program on science and global security at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. Only India and China

world ... only India and China consume more.”

consume more. “That’s total use,” Kahn emphasized. “The countries with the highest per capita use of antibiotics, for whatever reason, are Australia and New Zealand.”

One Health Initiative Kahn is also co-founder of the One Health Initiative. “One Health is very simply the concept that human, animal and environmental health are linked,” Kahn told participants at

last year’s annual convention of the Texas Cattle Feeders Association (TCFA). “And because they are linked, complex subjects such as antimicrobial resistance must be examined in an interdisciplinary way.” Kahn put that concept to work in research highlighted in her book, One Health and the Politics of Antimicrobial Resistance. You’ll hear more about Kahn’s research in a future article in this series. Suffice it to say, her research dismantles the assumptions European regulators made about the presumed link between antibiotic use in livestock and antibiotic resistance in humans, an assumption that continues to drive antibiotic policy there. “There are a lot of similarities between the evolution of medicine and agriculture over the course of the 20th century,” Kahn explained at the TCFA session. “Both became increasingly specialized, technologically driven and dependent on antibiotics. “ In the case of medical care, the price of care increased dramatically. In the case of agriculture, the price of food decreased, particularly in the United States. “Since World War II, we have been the beneficiaries of the decreasing cost of food, to where we spend less than 10 percent of our annual disposable income for food. One could argue that our entire consumer economy depends on having inexpensive food,” Kahn said.

“Estimates are that 30 percent to 50 percent of antibiotics prescribed in hospitals are unnecessary or inappropriate; over 50 percent of antibiotic prescriptions in outpatient clinics are unnecessary,” said Dr. Nate Smith, sharing CDC estimates at the NIAA meeting. He is a physician as well as director and state health officer for the Arkansas

Department of Health. That doesn’t mean unnecessary or inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions are made without thought or care. “When I talk to physician colleagues, I don’t find any who say, ‘About half of the prescriptions I write for antibiotics are unnecessary,’ ” Smith said. Instead, the ubiquitous nature of such prescriptions has to do with everything from regional culture and relative wealth, to patient expectations, to time. “Many times, our physicians are working

Human Health All of that is why antibiotic stewardship — preserving the use of antibiotics for their intended purpose —is gaining urgency in both livestock and human medicine. “I tell our staff and physicians that antibiotics are unlike any other drug. They’re societal drugs,” Stevenson explained. “If I use an antibiotic in one patient today, it may influence the ability of that drug to effectively treat another patient tomorrow. That’s a point we have to continue to bring home to clinicians.” Reality paints a less conservative picture of dispensing discretion.

Choosing Wisely “Antimicrobial stewardship includes not only limiting inappropriate use, but also optimizing antimicrobial selection, dosing, route and duration of therapy to maximize clinical cure or prevention of infection — w h i l e l i m i t i n g t h e u n i nte n d e d consequences, such as the emergence of resistance, adverse drug events and cost,” Stevenson explained. These elements are central to the multifold antibiotic stewardship programs under way in human medicine at state and national levels. For instance, the White House released The National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic-resistant Bacteria (CARB) two years ago, developed by an interagency task force of the same name. Its goals include: slow the emergence of resistant bacteria and prevent the spread of resistant infections; strengthen national One Health surveillance efforts to combat resistance; and accelerate basic and applied research and development for new antibiotics, other therapeutics and vaccines. Internationally, there are a number of programs. Last year, the United Nation’s General Assembly embraced the World Health Organization’s Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance. That plan also supports the multi-sector One Health approach to addressing antibiotic resistance. Keep in mind that the One Health initiative focuses on more than antibiotic resistance. According to its mission statement, One Health seeks to promote, improve, and defend the health and well-being of all species by enhancing cooperation and collaboration between physicians, veterinarians, other scientific health and environmental professionals. Livestock producers in general, and cattle producers in particular, began addressing antibiotic stewardship years ago. Most recently, the veterinary feed directive implemented Jan. 1 is a governmental effort to regulate stewardship. “Antibiotics really are the foundation of modern medicine,” Kahn explained. “Without antibiotics, we’re dead in the water when it comes to elective surgeries, cancer chemotherapies and immunosuppressive therapies. “All of the treatments that we take for granted with modern medicine, we cannot do without antibiotics because the risk of infection is too high … We need to make sure we get this right, because we may not have a second chance.”

VIEW FROM THE BACKSIDE by Barry Denton

My Name Was Jesus Christ

hat is the truth of the matter. I was the most confused teenager on the planet. On the one hand my mother made us go to Sunday school and church every Sunday. My mother said we had to learn about Jesus and God so we could grow up to be good solid citizens. We also learned that we might have a shot at getting into heaven if we followed the Ten Commandments. However, during the week we had to work with dear old dad. Needless to say, what we learned on Sunday really did not matter to him. I would never say that he was not God fearing. He just did not fear God by the same rules as anyone else. Oh, do not worry, this article will not be preachy. It is just an account of how I was named after

you start to realize that your life could get much better if you actually tried to become part of the fold. What you had resisted for so long gradually becomes normal to you. When people see that you are trying instead of resisting then you start earning some respect. The respect feels pretty good, but when you make a mistake it really haunts you, so the mistakes become less and less. One thing about it, I never did get a Jesus Christ complex or walk around in robes thinking I was him. I cannot say that I ever tried to walk on water or turn water into wine. I really do not have an inclination to be holier than thou. My mother never did send me to a shrink, why would they waste money on those nuts? Sometimes it astounds me how well I turned out. Funny that I’m programmed to work hard, provide for my family, be kind, respect your fellow man; help your neighbors when you can, and not to kick sleeping dogs. I think I was lucky enough to get a good old fashioned upbringing with no political correctness involved. You bet, they might have been hard on you, but that is how you remember the lessons that you are taught. The adults were out to make sure that you learned how to become a good member of society. They didn’t mind killing you, to get it done. Have you tried to hire anyone lately to do some work around the ranch? It seems like you have to screen about twenty to find one that is half way decent and it still may not be good. The political left side of the earth now calls nearly every bad behavior a disease. It seems like every other person that applies for a job claims some sort of disease. Why would you tell anybody that you had a disease in the first place and why would you expect them to hire you? In my estimation POLITICAL CORRECTNESS is the disease destroying America. If you are a government official I encourage you to change the rules and hurt some “feelings.” That’s how people learn to do the right thing. Remember, this is coming to you from someone formerly known as “Jesus Christ.”

6666 Veterinarian & Horse Division Manager Named 2017 Golden Spur Winner

r. Glenn Blodgett, resident veterinarian and manager of the 6666 Ranch horse division, has been named the 2017 National Golden Spur Award winner, the most prestigious honor given by the ranching and livestock industries in recognition of accomplishments by an individual. In his 35 years at the largest individually owned ranch property in Texas, Blodgett has been an industry leader in equine embryo transfer and artificial insemination, and the ranch has become the all-time leading breeder of both racing and performance American Quarter Horses. Blodgett will be honored by industry leaders at a dinner hosted by the National Ranching Heritage Center (NRHC) October 14 at the McKenzie-Merket Alumni Center at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. “Honorees for the past 39 years have represented virtually every aspect of the agribusiness industry and all of the major U.S. livestock and ranching areas,” said NRHC Executive Director Jim Bret Campbell. “This award recognizes that a single individual has earned notable respect and admiration from peers within the industry.” Established in 1978, the award is a joint recognition given by six of the leading state and national organizations in the ranching and livestock industry: American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA), National Cattlemen’s Foundation, Ranching Heritage Association (RHA), Texas Cattle Feeders Association, Texas Farm Bureau and Texas and Southwestern Cat tle Raisers Association. “When you talk about Dr. Blodgett, you have to talk about credibility,” said AQHA Past President Johnny Trotter. “The horse business is more of a reputation-based business than it is just a horse-trading business. He has a reputation and it’s not all about making a quick dollar on a horse. First and foremost, he’s a fine person with all the integrity and credibility that goes with it. Second of all, he is a good businessman, good horseman and a tremendously successful veterinarian.”

A native of Spearman, Texas, Blodgett received his bachelor’s degree in animal science from Oklahoma State University and his degree in veterinary medicine from the Texas A&M University of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. He has since been recognized as an outstanding alumnus of both universities. After receiving his veterinarian degree, Blodgett joined Spur Veterinary Hospital, a mixed veterinary practice in Spur, Texas. Then he became self-employed at Hansford County Veterinary Hospital in Spearman servicing primarily large-animal clientele. “Complete Projects From Slab to Roof” He joined Burnett Ranches, LLC (Four Sixes Ranch) near Guthrie, Texas, in 1982 and subsequently earned the ranch numerous awards and distinctions including the coveted AQHA Best Remuda Award in 1993.

The He/She Dilemma

n the front page of our weekly newspaper there was a picture of a very masculine bull that the writer called a “cow”. To 98 percent of our population every bovine they see is a cow, even when it’s not. You can’t really blame the urbane journalists, most of which are at least two generations removed from the farm or ranch. It would be like me trying to identify a famous rap singer. But someday, just for fun try, explaining the difference between a heiferette and a steer to an urbanite and watch their eyes roll back in their heads. Even people who should know better don’t understand basic farm animal plumbing. Many years ago I wrote about a World Champion Livestock Auctioneer (who was actually an auto auctioneer) guest auctioneering at a big auction in the middle of cow country and when the gate swung wide to let a single steer into the ring he called it a cow.

“

I think of the wasted hours I spent trying to

learn to use a slide rule only

to have a cheap hand-held calculator perform the same

tasks in the blink of an eye. “

I must admit that even I have trouble sometimes identifying the sex correctly of some dogs, cats and babies. I particularly have a penc hant for looking down at a beautiful baby in a stroller and saying to the proud mother, “My, what a pretty baby girl you have.” Only to be told by a very mad mom, “It’s a boy, thank you very much.” It’s very humiliating for all concerned, and I’m sure the kid didn’t appreciate it either. It’s always bothered me that basic information about animals and agriculture is not taught in schools. And let’s face it, food is pretty important in most people’s lives. But instead my generation was made to mem-

orize lots of junk. I think of the wasted hours I spent trying to learn to use a slide rule only to have a cheap hand-held calculator perform the same tasks in the blink of an eye. When I took a computer class in animal nutrition we had to feed hand-punched IBM cards into a computer the size of a truck and then wait 24 hours for a least-cost ration that I could have figured out with a pencil and piece of paper in five minutes. I remember thinking at the time, “This computer thing is never going to catch on!” Who types on a typewriter any more or uses a dictionary? Why did we spend so many hours learning to spell when a computer merely corrects our errors. And all the countries I memorized in Africa aren’t there anymore. I don’t know where they went. But one thing has remained constant, farm animal anatomy. Not that this whole sex thing couldn’t stand a whole lot of updating. As a writer whenever I’ve referred to someone I used the third person pronoun “he”, as I was taught to do in English. I often wondered if this didn’t make the shes of this world angry. Granted, there were a few things referred to as females, boats for example. But giving every noun a sex like they do in Spanish with an “o” or an “a” on the end of the word makes things way too difficult. And it uses up too much valuable space in magazines and newspapers to write, “he, and or, she.” It surely won’t make things easier in the sex department that residents of Oregon and California, who don’t want to associate themselves with either the male or female category, have been successful in creating a “third gender movement.” They have persuaded their state and local governments to give people more than the usual “male” or “female” options when filling out paperwork because they don’t associate themselves with either sex. They contend the government is ignoring who they really are. What we really need is a word that encompasses everyone. Think how much easier it would be if we just used the all encompassing heshe or shehe. But NOOOO, that’s not how we do things. I’m told that Facebook now gives their users 58 ways to respond when asked their gender. Two of the more popular options other than male or female are “unknown” and “non-binary.” Doesn’t that sound poetic? Just imagine how beautiful our speech will be when “he” becomes “gender non-conforming” and she becomes “agendered” or “non-binary.” And I thought calling a bull a cow was bad.

AGGIE NOTES

From the Animal Resources Department, Cooperative Extension Service, NMSU

College-Level Hands-On Curriculum at NMSU Youth Ranch Mgt. Camp

his year’s New Mexico Youth Ranch Management Camp introduced 24 youths to the science and business side of ranching. Most have been “hands” on their family ranch, but many did not know the “why” behind the tasks they have been doing. During the five-day camp at CS Cattle Company’s 130,000-acre ranch at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range near Cimarron, the youths were introduced to the many aspects of running a ranch, from financial statements and marketing strategies to producing quality beef and managing natural resources and wildlife. “We are proud to offer this one-of-a-kind program for the future cattle producers of our state,” said Jon Boren, New Mexico State University College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences associate dean and director of the Cooperative Extension Service. “The collaboration between our Extension specialists, county Extension agents and members of the ranching industry has provided an opportunity for the youth to learn about the many aspects of ranching.” College-level hands-on curriculum provided the campers with information about how to develop a ranch management plan for a scenario similar to the host ranch.

“What we are finding from the more than 125 youths who have participated in past ranch camps is that they have gained a greater appreciation of the science and opportunities in agriculture,” Boren said. “It is also a win-win for our aging agricultural industry with more young people having an interest in going into this type of work.” Attending the 2017 camp were Katelynn Davis and Amber Montano of Bernalillo County, Lauren Jensen and Kalei Towner of Catron County, Payton Virden and Loden Bassett of Chaves County, Jameson Ray and Delbert Roughsurface of Cibola County, John Davis of Colfax County, Ethan Wright of Curry County, Kourtnie Rouse of Guadalupe County, John Wyatt Hemphill of Lincoln County, Cheyanne Carlisle of McKinley County, Bailey McKnight of Quay County, Michael Purdy of Rio Arriba County, Jesse Maxam of Sandoval County, Wade Hatch of San Juan County, Dylan Quintana and Juan Bustamante of San Miguel County, Marissa Lury, James Mitchell, Wyatt Mortenson and Patrick Torres of Santa Fe County, and Clayton Campbell of Hotchkiss, Colorado. On the final day of camp, the five teams presented their ranch management plans before three judges representing the ranching profession. The 2017 winning team members were Katelynn Davis, Bustamante, Hatch and Purdy. The runner-up team consisted of Montano, Rouse, Torres and McKnight. A “Top Hand” was selected each day by the instructors for showing exceptional interest in the topics. Receiving Top Hand award buckles were Cheyanne Carlisle, Ethan Wright, John Davis and Wade Hatch.

NMSU Valencia County Extension Introduces New Beef Heifer Production Project

Coy Dictson, Dictson, Manager Ranch Manager Sam &Sam Sandy Donaldson, & Sandy Owners Donaldson, Owners

uring a yearlong beef heifer production project, youth in Valencia County are learning the science behind raising cattle. From selecting a heifer in November to raising and breeding it, to organizing and marketing a sale this October, nine youth have received college-level instruction from New Mexico State University’s College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences faculty regarding nutrition, genetics and reproduction of cattle. “This project began when a parent, Robert Sinclair, asked if the beef heifer project could be more than just raising the animal for the show ring,” said Newt McCarty, agricultural agent with NMSU’s Cooperative Extension Service in Valencia County. “Other places have done production steer projects, but no one has used the beef heifer, which requires the youth to learn about reproduction and genetics involved in breeding of the animal.” The youth, ranging in age from 11 to 17, were selected for the project from applications. They are Dannon Powell, Ashlyn Ahlgrim, Rayeven Griego, Rhett McCarty,

Hilton Veit, Jolene Wulf, Mateo Olivas, Jace Martinez and Tyler Martinez. “This has been an amazing program, learning how to raise beef cattle and to see what ranchers go through on a daily basis,” said 13-year-old Ahlgrim. “I have learned a lot about the cattle industry, from selecting my heifer to all aspects of record keeping,” said 17-year-old Wulf. Input by cattle producers participating in the Tucumcari Feed Efficiency Test at NMSU’s Agricultural Science Center in Tucumcari helped design the curriculum. The youth participated in seminars ranging from nutrition for healthy daily weight gain and the anatomy of the digestive and reproductive systems, to sire selection and artificial insemination; from designing a business and marketing plan, to creating a catalog for the final sale. They also completed the Beef Quality Assurance training and earned a certification. They received instruction from Marcy Ward, Extension livestock specialist; Craig Gifford, Extension beef cattle specialist; John Wenzel, Extension veterinary specialist; and area veterinarians. “Before this project I always thought that the way a bull looked was important,” said 11-year-old Tyler Martinez. “After our training I learned that Expected Progeny Differences are also very important and, more importantly, the accuracy of EPDs.” “I was fascinated in learning why we weigh at birth and weaning, and why the carcass percentage is so important,” said

In October they will present their marketing plan and conduct a sale. (NMSU photo by Jane Moorman)

ormer Vice President Al Gore praised an Australian state for “leading the entire world” by signing a deal with Tesla to build a massive green energy battery storage system. But Gore is ignoring the main reason behind South Australia’s decision to build battery storage — a massive blackout caused by wind turbines. In fact, South Australia still struggles with rolling blackouts and brownouts because it lacks enough reliable power to keep the grid running all the time. “The electricity from both solar and wind continues to come down every single year. And the new historic development is battery storage is coming down significantly in cost,” Gore told the Aussie press, referring to South Australia’s deal with Tesla. “And this historic announcement that South Australia is leading the entire world with the installation of the largest battery in the world, it will be the first of many to come,” Gore said. Tesla plans on building 100 megawatts of lithium-ion battery storage in South Australia that will be paired with a wind farm. Founder Elon Musk said Tesla would complete with battery project in 100 days or it’s free. The batteries would be able to provide power to 30,000 homes, meaning it would be the largest battery storage project in the world. No one knows for sure how much the project will cost, but estimates range from $25 million to $183 million.

“Solar and wind and batteries are the future and we see it all over the world,” Gore said. But Gore is leaving out some big problems South Australia has had with green energy. In September, 1.7 million people were left without power for up to two weeks in some cases after 200 megawatts of wind power stopped coming on the grid during a storm. That was enough to destabilize the grid. The storm caused some problems in the province’s transmission lines, but the blackout didn’t happen until wind power went offline. The question of how to handle future blackouts sparked a political fight. South Australia closed its last coal-fired power plant in July, and energy experts warned there could be reliability problems as reliance on wind increased. South Australia gets 41 percent of its electricity from solar, wind and other green energy sources. Australia’s Energy Council reported South Australia’s reliance on solar panels and wind turbines “has not only led to a series of technical challenges,” but “also increased wholesale price volatility as the state rebalances its supply from dispatchable plant to intermittent generation.” Add in the fact Australia is shipping large amounts of natural gas, and you have a situation where energy shortages are possible. Coal plants are being closed, and gas exports put a strain on electricity supplies and prices. South Australia’s power woes weren’t relegated to just September. Poor weather and demand predictions have caused rolling blackouts and brownouts for many business across the state. “It’s getting to the point that we need to think about investing in a back-up generator, which is going to be extremely costly, because we can’t rely on SA power for businesses services,” said Mattis Vanzati, a cafe owner in Adelaide. About one-quarter of the homes in South Australia have solar panels, which adds to the complexity of maintaining the grid. Wind power has also caused wild price spikes in South Australia, in some cases reaching $14,000 per megawatt hour.

Wildfires Pollute Much More Than Previously Thought by Ben Brumfield, www.news.gatech.edu

ummer wildfires boost air pollution considerably more than previously believed. Naturally burning timber and brush launch what are called fine particles into the air at a rate three times as high as levels noted in emissions inventories at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, according to a new study. The microscopic, sooty specks that form aerosols are a hazard to human health, particularly to the lungs and heart. “Burning biomass produces lots of pollution. These are really bad aerosols to breathe from a health point of view,” said researcher Greg Huey from the Georgia Institute of Technology, which led the study. The research also describes other chemicals in wildfire smoke, some never before measured, and it will likely raise the estimated annual emission of fine particles, or particulate matter, in the western United States significantly. The previous EPA data had been based on plume samples taken in controlled burns ignited by forestry professionals. Measuring naturally occurring plumes so thoroughly, from the sky, directly in the thick of a wildfire had not been possible before this study.

without anything we wanted really badly,” he said. Yokelson also helped design the flight paths. Georgia Tech had instruments and scientists on the NASA DC-8 plane. Researchers associated with a total of more than a dozen universities and organizations participated in data collection or analysis. The scientists published their findings on June 14 in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres. “This paper is expected to serve as a basis for the next NASA fire chemical monitoring

mission,” Huey said.

Refinery in flames Methanol, benzene, ozone precursors and other noxious emissions collected from wildfire plumes may make it sound like an oil refinery went up in flames. That’s not so far-fetched, as oil and other fossil fuels derive from ancient biomass. “You can see the smoke, and it’s dark for a reason,” Huey said. “When you go measuring wildfires, you get everything there continued on page 213 >>

An ensemble of instruments bristling from the flanks of NASA and U.S. Department of Energy aircraft allowed teams of researchers on board to measure chemicals and particles in real time and cull masses of data, which the new study is based on. “We actually went to measure, right above the fire, what was coming out,” said Huey, a professor in Georgia Tech’s School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, which he also chairs. Bob Yokelson, a professor of atmospheric chemistry at the University of Montana has taken a leadership role in many aspects of the research and was in a group of about 20 scientists who selected the instruments to be installed on the large NASA plane. “We really didn’t have to go

A Look at the Amazon/Whole Foods Deal from 10,000 feet by Karen Christensen, Associate Professor & Extension Specialist, University of Arkansas / MeatingPlace.com

ig news in the food-selling world. Amazon, one of the most tech-driven companies has announced it will purchase Whole Foods Markets. It will be interesting to watch how this develops and changes how food is marketed, ordered and delivered. I will be watching the skies for organic eggs and free-range broilers that could now get their wings and be delivered by drones. I hope this is not a negative for small farmers that produce organic foods because they cannot produce enough to satisfy the potentially huge new market for products that up to now were only available in major cities or at least highly urban areas. It would be ironic if this move could result in a new demand for products, both produce and meat, that can only be filled by large, corporate farms. I am supportive of having choices in food production. Those that want organically produced food should be able to source those products if they can afford it and feel it is best for their families. I also believe we should be able to produce high quality protein, like chicken meat and eggs that can benefit from efficiencies that large farms and technology allow for. I must add that considerations for welfare must be a part of producing animals for food whatever the system. Let’s let the consumer decide what products they prefer by their buying choices instead of small groups with defined agendas dictating what choices we have or do not have. I want to make sure that everyone has access to high quality protein that I believe benefits the health and well-being of everyone, including growing children. But I strongly believe in choice. All systems of food production have a place in the market. So let’s stop making food availability more restrictive and be grateful that we have the knowledge and resources to produce food for everyone’s preferences. In the meantime I will be watching for flying turkeys!

New Mexico Represented in 2017 Beef Leaders Institute

lay Richardson joined an elite group of American Angus Association members by attending the 10th annual Beef Leaders Institute (BLI) June 19-23. BLI is a complete pasture-to-plate experience for young leaders in the Angus industry that explores quality genetics, performance programs, genomic technology, herd health, Certified Angus Beef® (CAB) and much more. This year’s class consisted of nearly 20 individuals from all areas of the country. Richardson, with Richardson Cattle Co. in Carlsbad, N.M., said he was able to put the beef industry into clearer perspective by seeing how all the parts work together. “BLI allows you to see everything,” Richardson said. “From the person that’s at home breeding cattle to that cow having a calf, to going to the feedlot and from the feedlot to the packer. I feel like I am definitely a better leader and this is going to be

a way that I can go back home and implement some of the things I learned.” The five-day event, funded by the Angus Foundation, began in Saint Joseph, Mo., at the Association headquarters. Participants interacted with staff and learned how each department works to serve its nearly 25,000 members. BLI toured throughout the Midwest and ended in Wooster, Ohio, at the CAB headquarters. Along the way, participants were able to visit GeneSeek Neogen Operations in Lincoln, Neb.; Feller & Co. Cattle Feeder in Wisner, Neb.; Greater Omaha Packing Co. Inc. in Omaha, Neb.; Trans Ova in Sioux City, Iowa; a Sysco distribution center in Cleveland, Ohio; and a retail tour at Giant Eagle’s Market District Supermarket in Cleveland, Ohio. Caitlyn Brandt, event coordinator for the American Angus Association, explains that BLI targets young leaders in the Angus industry, ages 25-45, and gives them opportunities to see all sectors of the industry and how Angus plays a role in each of them. “BLI is designed to provide Angus producers the opportunity to see all sectors of the beef industry after cattle leave their farms,” Brandt said. “By having the chance to network with other producers, feeders, packers, processors, retailers and other industry experts in the areas of genetics, reproduction and marketing, participants go home with knowledge and information that provides better insight into making

production decisions on their operations.” Many producers don’t have the opportunity to see how everything comes together on an industry tour. BLI allows producers to see how their decisions at home affect the end product. “What probably stood out to me the most are the specifications CAB meat qualifies for,” said Richardson. “I think anybody breeding Angus needs to attend BLI. The experience and education behind it allows you to see the industry on a different level.”

A Practical Guide to Grazing Term Permit Renewal by: Frank Falen, Budd-Falen Law Offices, LLC

ne of the most important issues facing the 18,000 Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grazing permittees and lessees and nearly 6,000 Forest Service permittees is grazing permit renewal. Although Congress has granted to each of you a temporary reprieve from being thrown off your allotments because of the failure of the agencies to get through a timely renewal process, the BLM and Forest Service are still charged with com-

Those of us who care about animals face a multitude of challenges, not the least of which is the constant misrepresentation of issues pertaining to animals. The National Animal Interest Alliance (NAIA) counters this propaganda in numerous ways; with articles and blogs, through social media, by conducting original research and disseminating the findings, by publishing ads in magazines and on billboards, by hosting conferences and more. NAIA is adding a new vehicle for disseminating factual information: DiscoverAnimals.org, a resource that strives to provide useful, entertaining, and reliable information about animals to the public. The site is a collaborative effort and we encourage all of our supporters to take an active role in helping us achieve that goal. I invite you to take a look at it, read the content, and share with us any additional information or resources you would like us to include.

all of these factors, the most important thing that has to occur is written documentation. If the agency can document why it is reaching the decision it did, it is going to be significantly harder to challenge. If the agency makes a decision and does not have a supporting rationale at the time of the decision, an administrative or legal challenge is likely to follow. 3. If the agency determines that either an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement is necessary, a permittee also needs to have significant involvement prior to the “public comment” period. One of the ways that radical environmental groups like to attack grazing permit renewal is based on an allegedly “inadequate NEPA document.” Based on a quick review of the reported court cases, one of the most likely areas of attack is if an agency fails to consider all direct and indirect effects, cumulative impacts and connected actions between renewal of the permit and other uses of the allotment. For example, if the allotment is also subject to oil and gas or other mineral development, developed recreation, or other permitted use, those uses have to be analyzed in the permit renewal NEPA document. Additionally, permit renewal NEPA documents are attacked if the agency fails to adequately analyze alternatives. Note that the agency does not have to fully evaluate every possible alternative to permit renewal , but if the agency is going to exclude a viable alternative from consideration, it has to explain why. Third, litigation and appeals can be filed if there is a perceived data gap. Like the alternative analysis however, as long as the agency notes and explains its rationale for not endlessly collecting data, the courts will defer to the agency explanation. Now is the time to begin discussing term permit renewal with your agency personnel to see where your permit is on the schedule and to explore any ways you can assist with this process. This is not a process that permittees should ignore, particularly since so many ranches have to have a reliable term permit to survive.

o more accurately reflect the heritage of the Aberdeen breed, the American Lowline Registry has changed its name to American Aberdeen Association. The Aberdeen breed is known for calving ease, docility, efficient grass or feed conversion and meat quality. Aberdeen cattle in the United States descend from a closed herd formed at the Trangie Research Centre in New South Wales, Australia, in 1929. The foundation stock was purchased from Canada’s historic Glencarnock Estate that bred the leading genetics of that time. Neil Effertz, Bismarck, North Dakota, imported the first Aberdeen cattle to the United States in 1996. He had learned of Aberdeen ribeye sizes posted at the largest show in Australia, and did his own study of breed comparisons. “The cattle had a 30 percent larger ribeye per hundred weight than typical Angus. When I first went to Australia and saw that they were getting considerably more beef production per acre than bigger cattle, it just made sense to me since the No. 1 variable cost in ranching is maintenance and feed,” he said. “Aberdeen cattle are like the 1960-model Angus cattle your grandfather had,” Oklahoma cowman Kirk Duff described. “They have the same heritage as Angus and retain the polled genetics in a good-uddered, fertile cow in a more moderately framed, more efficient package with greater longevity,” Duff added. Numerous studies have shown that a 1,200-lb. cow is more efficient, Duff said. “It flat doesn’t take as much energy in terms of grass, feed or hay because Aberdeens convert feed more efficiently. They maintain body condition score on grass and they achieve finish with less days on feed.” Due to the breed’s efficiency and better grass management, Effertz has doubled his stocking rates since 1996, and is selling the

It’s Magical Legal Thinking to Say Trump Can’t Reverse Obama’s National Monuments uppose President Trump declared much of California, Nevada and Oregon — states that just happened to vote against him — off-limits to economic development and recreational use. Suppose he barred all mining, grazing, agriculture and even camping from these states’ federal lands (roughly 46 percent of California, 85 percent of Nevada and 53 percent of Oregon) under a law to preserve national monuments of scientific and historical interest. According to some environmentalists and legal scholars, we would have to live with this result. They believe a president can permanently designate federal land as a monument and restrict its uses — even if we’re talking about millions of acres (138 million acres in the example above), far removed from any real historical or scientific significance, and over the objections of the states involved. But a presidential power to create permanent national monuments flies in the face of the plain text of federal law, the conventional relationship between presidents and Congress and historical understandings of executive power. Trump has the right to reverse the national monuments created by previous presidents without an act of Congress, but by the same token, the Constitution creates a check by allowing future presidents to reverse Trump too. In late April, Trump announced a plan to reconsider the size of recently designated national monuments, principally those that withdrew vast amounts of land in the West and in the oceans near Hawaii and New

England from some forms of economic development. His orders sparked a firestorm of criticism from environmentalists and sympathetic public officials, who have argued that Trump cannot undo a national monument once declared by a past president. It’s simply unrealistic to pretend that acts created by unilateral presidential decrees cannot be undone in the same manner. The power to create national monuments derives from the Antiquities Act of 1906. It’s a broad presidential power, although monuments must be limited to the smallest area necessary to preserve landmarks and other objects of interest. Like many federal laws, the Antiquities Act delegates authority to the executive branch but does not address how to undo the use of the power. Those who defend permanent, unchangeable national monuments argue that the act’s silence on reversal means reversal is impossible. But there is no reason to believe that the Antiquities Act can uniquely evade the fundamental principles that apply throughout our government and laws. Almost every grant of power, by Constitution or statute, implicitly also includes the power of reversal. Congress has no express authority in the Constitution to repeal a law, but it does so by passing new laws. The Supreme Court doesn’t have express authority to overrule a past precedent, but it does so in a later decision. As the federal courts have recognized, the president can fire Cabinet officers or abrogate treaties (both of which require Senate advice and consent), even though the Constitution doesn’t mention it. No Congress, Supreme Court or president can bind their successors from using their branch’s constitutional powers. The courts have applied the same legal principle of reversal when Congress delegates lawmaking power to the executive branch, as in the Antiquities Act. For example, agencies granted authority to issue regulations also can revoke or modify them, and presidents often repeal executive orders, many of which are based on statutory powers. The courts have never held that the underlying statutory authority once used cannot be revoked. Indeed, those who claim that the Antiquities Act does not grant a reversal power cannot find a single case in another area of federal law that supports that contention. To override the norm, legislators have to clearly limit reversal powers in the original

law; the plain text of the Antiquities Act includes no such limits. Those who consider monument proclamations sacrosanct place most of their hopes in a cursory legal opinion issued by U.S. Atty. Gen. Homer Cummings in 1938. No court has ever approved of the Cummings opinion. Our research explains the many holes in its reasoning, including Cummings’ mistaken reliance on an 1862 attorney general opinion that interpreted a different law, with utterly different facts, and, in any case, reached a conclusion contrary to Cummings’ position. In a letter to the Interior Department, California Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra asserts that Trump cannot legally revoke or reduce six national monuments in California. Besides his reliance on Cummings’ flawed opinion, Becerra’s statutory citations don’t help his case. He primarily cites ambiguous comments made in House committee deliberations related to the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. But

that is a separate statute, on a different subject, that did not alter the text or plain meaning of the Antiquities Act. If that’s the best that California officials have on their side in this debate, they should lose. Californians and others who want to maintain national monuments without change should focus on the merits of the designations rather than magical legal thinking. No president is likely to significantly disturb a national monument that enjoys strong local support. Prior presidents acted unilaterally to create or vastly expand several national monuments. It’s simply unrealistic to pretend that acts created by unilateral presidential decrees cannot be undone in the same manner. Todd Gaziano is the executive director of the Pacific Legal Foundation’s D.C. Center and its senior fellow in constitutional law. John Yoo is a law professor at UC Berkeley and a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. They are the authors of an AEI paper on national monuments.

is to measure. You start to wonder sometimes what all is in there.” The study found many organic chemicals in the wildf ire plumes, and technological advancements allowed them to detect certain nitrates in the smoke for the first time. But burning biomass does not appear to be a dominant source of these chemical pollutants. The major findings of the study involved the fine particles, which are dusty, sooty particles much thinner than a grain of sand or a human hair. They can go airborne, as aerosols, on their own or combined with moisture. Then people can inhale them. Some particulate matter contains oxidants that cause genetic damage. They can drift over long distances and pollute populated areas. Industrial sources also expose people to harmful aerosols, but fires produce more aerosol per amount of fuel burned. “Cars and power plants with pollution controls burn things much more cleanly,” Huey said. Various aerosols also rise up in the atmosphere, but their net effect on global warming or cooling is still uncertain, as some aerosols reflect sunlight away from the Earth, and others, in contrast, trap warmth in the atmosphere.

Prescribed burnings As global warming expands wildfires in size and number, the ensuing pollution stands to grow along with them. Stepping up professionally controlled man-made burnings may help cut these emissions, the study suggests. So-called prescribed burnings prevent or reduce wildfires, and they appear to produce far less pollution per unit area than wildfires. “A prescribed fire might burn five tons of biomass fuel per acre, whereas a wildfire might burn 30,” said Yokelson, who has dedicated decades of research to biomass fires. “This study shows that wildfires also emit three times more aerosol per ton of fuel burned than prescribed fires.” While still more needs to be known about professional prescribed burnings’ emissions, this new research makes clear that wildfires burn much more and pollute much more. The data will also help improve overall estimates of wildfire emissions. Fire prevention professionals follow stringent rules to carry out prescribed

All Red Meat is Not Created Equal — YES, it can be part of a heart healthy diet by Dr. Kevin Campbell, Fox News

ardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, contributing to more than 22,000 deaths each day. While these statistics may seem alarming, what’s more shocking is that very few at-risk patients actually follow a heart-healthy diet as advised by the American Heart Association. While genetics

But, when it comes to diet and heart disease According to the American Heart Assoprevention, the role of red meat is often ciation and the American College of debated, leaving patients confused and Cardiology, lean beef, which has less than concerned. In the last several years, there 10 grams of total fat and 4.5 grams or fewer has been a growing body of evidence of saturated fat per 3.5-ounce serving, can showing lean beef’s positive role in a heart- fit in a heart-healthy dietary pattern.

requires only small changes or subtle shifts in portion sizes that help people continue to enjoy the foods they like. The Beef in an Optimal Lean Diet – or BOLD – study applied that strategy to a DASH-style eating pattern by substituting lean beef for other proteins. The study found that 4-5.5 ounces of lean beef per day as the primary protein source in a DASH diet was just as effective at lowering LDL cholesterol levels and improving blood pressure as a similar DASH diet plan limited in red meat. Dietary research supports the fact that adding more variety to protein choices – like lean beef – in a DASH diet can be especially important in helping people enjoy and stick to heart-healthy diets long term.

So, How Can You Identify & Choose Lean Cuts of Beef? Thanks to enhancements in cattle breeding and feeding as well as improved trimming practices, more than 60 percent of whole muscle beef cuts found in the supermarket are considered lean when cooked with visible fat trimmed. ЇЇ Look for cuts with “round” or “loin” in the name, such as Eye of Round, Top Sirloin and Tenderloin. ЇЇ For Ground Beef, choose 96 percent extra lean (four percent fat). ЇЇ Trim off any excess fat before cooking. ЇЇ Enjoy smart portions. If you are not sure what the appropriate portion size for lean protein is, use your smart phone as a guide. A single 3-ounce serving of beef is about the size of a standard smart phone. ЇЇ Stick to an overall heart-healthy DASH-style diet, which, in addition to including lean protein, is rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy. Heart disease continues to take the lives of millions of Americans each year. It is critical to understand our risk and modify the risk factors that we can impact through diet and heart-healthy lifestyle changes. So, take control, reduce your risk, and embrace small shifts towards improving your overall diet while still enjoying the foods you love.

he New Mexico Beef Council was a co-sponsor of the Shiprock Marathon. The scenic route took 3,000 runners through interesting formations, beautiful vistas of mesas and long stretches of northwestern New Mexico landscapes. Marathoners received packets of beef jerky and nutrition education information in the Beef Council booth and in registration packets on how best to incorporate lean beef into their diet during training, along with beef recipes and cooking tips. Alicia Sanchez, NMBC Chairman, said, “Because the Shiprock Marathon has grown into such a successful and elite athletic event, and beef is an elite protein source, it makes sense to pair the two! It’s a great way to showcase that beef is a valuable fuel for our finest athletes and healthy consumers in general.” All proceeds generated by the Shiprock Marathon benefit the youth programs of NavajoYES, a program established by the Navajo Nation to promote community wellness, lifelong fitness and youth empowerment on the Navajo Nation.

New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association Protecting Our Ranching Way of Life

attle Ranching represents America’s most enduring and ionic way of life. Yet, everyday, ranches throughout New Mexico and the United States are threatened by forces as far ranging as economic uncertainly, government regulations, crippling drought and more. That’s why New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association (NMCGA) works tirelessly to protect and promote all ranching families.

■

NMCGA continues to advocate for livestock producers and landowners on local, state, and federal legislative and regulatory issues.

■ NMCGA has worked hard to earn high respect at the State Capital and has a highly regarded reputation with top policy makers. Through our leaders and staff you have influence in the Governor appointed Boards and Commissions. ■

NMCGA strongly supports and defends a free enterprise system, the protection of private property rights, and the

protection and enhancement of our natural resources.

■ NMCGA members develop and vote on policies that direct the NMCGA leadership and staff in their advocacy efforts.

■ NMCGA leaders also take on key policy and decision-making roles with other national and state industry organizations, providing relevant input and testimony, influencing state and national policy development.

■ NMCGA makes sure the voices of ranchers are heard and that ranchers continue to influence policy and politics.

■ NMCGA hosts two major meetings a year with regulatory, policy and educational components for producers, as well as regional meetings twice a year. Most importantly, your membership in NMCGA will help ensure that ranching will not only endure, but prosper, for generations to come.
