Best in Butler County Butler County youth learn life lessons, gain friendships through BEST Story by Katie Hack
W
atching the heifer final drive at the Gallia County Preview Show, you may have noticed a very enthusiastic group erupt in cheers and dancing as the judge picked his winners. Karen Hiltbrand, Butler County, had just been awarded third overall heifer, and instead of one family being in the backdrop picture a whole crew of people were invited to join in. Three years ago, a group of youth from southwest Ohio decided to travel to all of the BEST shows together. Their passion and love for raising and showing cattle motivates them to journey several hundred miles to each show throughout the season. Their goal each year is to travel to as many shows as possible, with some of them participating in all 16 shows in the 20122013 BEST season. “Winning isn’t everything,” describes the overall attitude of this group. 8 | Ohio Cattlemen’s Association | The Ring 2013
“If you compare where we were when we started to where we are now, it’s not like we go out and win a lot, but we have learned so much,” says Karen. “It’s ok when we don’t win, because we know we are going to go back to the stalls to a group of people that will support us no matter what.” But when they do win, they all share in each other’s excitement. “My favorite part is watching someone do well and learning from their experience,” says Regan Robinson, who is new to the BEST program. “When you win something, everyone is happy. No one gets jealous.” She knows this first hand, winning both the BEST trailer, donated by Eby Trailer and the chute, donated by Weaver Leather Livestock, at this year’s BEST banquet. “It’s a good opportunity to do what you love all the time,” adds Kelli Gerber. “The BEST program has created our strong group of friends.”

Austin’s grandma has come up to me on multiple occasions to share a story of BEST participants holding the door for her or helping her carry her things.” A few of them didn’t start out with a strong love for cattle. Katie Hiltbrand told about watching her older sister, Karen, show for several years before she decide to get involved. “When I was younger I didn’t care about animals much, but then I realized how much time and effort she put into something that Regan and Colleen are getting Colleen’s calf ready for the Buckeye she loved.

“I come away from each show learning something new and ways to improve.” - Jacob Schlichter
There is nothing better than seeing a group of young people who want to absorb all the knowledge they can, and that is exactly what this group does. They all agreed, they love to watch people fit, just so they can learn to do it better themselves. They all strive to take care of their cattle in the best way possible. “We do what we do because it’s in the best interest of the animal and the consumer,” says Karen. These youth have no problem recollecting some of their favorite times together. “We have a favorite memory at every BEST show,” says Colleen Minges when asked to recall her favorite memory from her showing experience. “At Dover we were stalled in the barn that had the ring that was going to be used if it rained,” says Kelli about one of her favorite memories. “There was a PA system, so Wally decided that we would practice showing in that ring and he would sing on the PA while we were practicing.” Wally Minges told the story about the 2011 Expo Steer show, when his steer decided to try to eat the show ring décor. “He decided to pick them up with his mouth and we had to walk around the ring like that for a while with him carrying the flowers.” The closeness of this group makes the end of the BEST season bittersweet. “The

All of them want to make the cattle industry a part of their careers in the future. “The way that we represent the industry and our county by showing cattle is pretty cool,” says Katie, “It’s more than a hobby. It’s our way of life.” v

What are they doing right now? Maybe playing a video game, out riding a bike, begrudgingly sitting down to do their math homework or begging mom to let them have some friends over for the weekend. Now meet a BEST kid. Mornings consist of waking up hours before the school bus arrives to rinse show calves, feed them and put them in the cool room. After school activities include exercising and feeding the calves again, along with everything else an average kid would do; little league practice, 4-H meetings and fun with friends. And this year, on top of it all, BEST kids were commissioned to fundraise for Make-AWish® as a community service project. The BEST program has been facilitating a community service project for the past three years, but this year has seen a record setting amount of participation, with more

than $19,000 raised for the Make-A-Wish initiative, surpassing the $8,000 goal by a long shot. The inspiring stories of the dedication and drive the BEST youth possess to go above and beyond the call of duty to raise money would stir many to reflect on what they are doing to give back. Chloe McAuley, 11, just finished her first year participating in the BEST program and was also the top fundraiser for MakeA-Wish, raising more than $2,000 over the course of a few months. She said what drove her to work so hard was seeing the pictures of kids in the Make-A-Wish program. “It just made me kind of sad,” Chloe said, “seeing the pictures of the kids on the papers they gave us.” This was enough to push Chloe to go door to door, business to business, in her hometown and surrounding communities asking for help and donations.

Some people wondered day to ask for donations from people we do why Chloe wanted to raise money and take business with, and then it was like, ‘Whoa, it out of the local area. I can’t believe how much money we got!’,” “She told somebody that she could go Jim said. “Then she really wanted to see out there and have a fundraiser for what she how much money she could get.” needed, but the Make-A-Wish kids couldn’t, so that’s why she wanted to go above and beyond for the kids,” Shawna said. Chloe wasn’t the only BEST participant to be inspired by the kids receiving wishes. Carson Shafer, also 11, has a personal connection to Make-A-Wish. “His cousin was a Make-A-Wish recipient, and that’s why he felt compelled to help out,” said Steve Shafer, Carson’s dad. “Her wish was to be on the Cake Boss TV show and meet Buddy, and that’s what she did.” Carson’s cousin, Tyler Sue Pittman, has been struggling with Muckle Wells syndrome for the entire 12 years of her life, affecting her sight and hearing. Overall, Carson was able to raise around $750 from more than 30 donors in his cousin’s honor. Pictured is Randy Baker of Jones Feed and Chloe Hannah Weymouth, 12, got creative with McAuley. Baker donated to Chloe’s Make-A-Wish fund, helping her to achieve her top fundraiser spot. the ways she raised her funds for Make-AWish, totaling around $1,400. “We did a garage sale and we sold furniture and baked goods and also had a donation jar,” Hannah said. “And the furniture we didn’t sell we sold to a secondhand store.” All the money raised went toward the Make-A-Wish fund. Hannah also got a little dirty to make some money. “Me and my grandpa collected cans and then we went and cashed them in,” Hannah said. “He has a Gator and we’d drive up along the Hannah Weymouth shows off the cans that she collected from road and find them in the ditch.” ditches and cashed in for money for Make-A-Wish.

ome might find a change in course to be an unwelcomed path to take, but for Josh and Tiffany Moreland of JT Moreland Farms, whether it’s diving into the cattle industry, adjusting herd genetics or managing a restaurant, new endeavors are gladly accepted. On their 200 acre farm just west of Camden, Ohio, the Moreland’s own 100 head of Shorthorn, Maine-Anjou and commercial cows. Though Josh has been working full time on their farm for the past three years, he says he didn’t grow up around cattle. “I grew up on 10-acres on the edge of town,” he says. “We didn’t do any farming but I was sort of a country kid.” For Tiffany, showing cattle has been a long-standing passion and as a youth, she showed Maine-Anjou for 10 years through 4-H. Her family, the McKee’s of West 70 | Ohio Cattlemen’s Association | The Ring 2013
Alexandria, Ohio, have owned MaineAnjou for more than 30 years. “Josh wanted to get to know cattle so he could get to know me,” Tiffany jokes as she remembers how they met at the Preble County Fair when she was an exhibitor. “Josh throughout the years became interested in cattle. I still owned some MaineAnjou cows that I kept at my uncles and had to continue making management decisions. Josh said he wanted some input and decided to figure it out.” After marrying in 2001, the Moreland’s chose to make a change in their small herd. “I wanted to do something different than what my parents had,” Tiffany says. “I had so much pleasure out of owning cattle and I always liked Shorthorns. Josh also became so intrigued with it and just started studying pedigrees. It was a mutual decision that we liked the Shorthorn breed.” In 2003, they

As you get bulls like that they’ll breed females that you can grow your herd with and have those traits.” Currently, JT Moreland Farms is using three bulls that Josh says fits in with the direction they are going.

Feature explains. “The chance to buy it and getting things going kind of feels like a miracle that it all happened. Being in a small town, we know everybody. We both grew up in Eaton so we get to serve our community.” Tiffany spends most of her time managing Skyline while Josh is at the farm, but big decisions are still made together. “For any purchases we still discuss it together,” he says. “As far as making decisions, we pray through everything and try to make sure it’s what we’re supposed to do.” Josh says the farming and restaurant business are similar. “They both take a lot of time and a lot of effort, and you have to work hard just to make a little bit of profit.” Juggling a farm and restaurant along with having two young boys, Isaac, 6, and Titus, 3, wouldn’t be possible without the support of family. “Tiffany’s family helped teach me how to do hay and things around cattle,” Josh explains. “Both of our parents help us tremendously with our boys and things around the farm.” Their sons help out in their own way too. “They love being around cattle. Whenever we go out to the barn they grab a rake and will be out there raking up hay and doing whatever they can,” Josh laughs. JT Moreland Farms has grown to a point where they need to stop in regard to herd size. “You have to have land, pasture

and hay ground which is pretty hard to find right now,” Josh says. He goes on to say they are at a holding point but hopeful for future growth which includes bringing on a full-time herdsman. “We’ve been doing this for 10 years but we’ve shifted from buying show animals to wanting to make more performance and commercially oriented breeding decisions,” he says. “I am just now calving out Star Buck’s heifers to Renegade this year and breeding our first Complete heifers to Renegade. We are still creating a foundation and getting to a point where it’s our program instead of animals we just purchased. I try to keep an open mind for the future and whatever seems like the right thing to do, we’ll do.” v
This spring, the farm leased 33 Shorthorn commercial cows from A&T Cattle Company in northwest Nebraska.

Common Sense Values Ohio legislators urge farmers to contact them about ag concerns, run for office Story by Amy Beth Graves
F
or Bob Peterson, life as a state senator is not much different than that of a farmer with an off-farm job. “So many farmers have part-time or offfarm jobs. That’s what I have. It’s just that my job is at the Statehouse with a suit and tie,” said the Fayette County resident who represents 10 counties in the 17th Ohio Senate District. State Rep. Brian Hill had a similar, and humorous, description of his life as a farmer and lawmaker. “I’m just one of the guys. I shovel cattle manure just like other cattle farmers and friends,” said Hill, who represents Guernsey and Muskingum counties. Growing up on a farm and rural area helped prepare the two for their political positions. They said they came into their jobs with a strong work ethic, ready and able to work long hours and a solid
understanding of what their mostly rural communities need from the government. “Farmers work 60 hours on farm and 40 hours at a job and this is no different,” Peterson said. “I’ve never had a 9-5 job, and there’s no 9-5 job here either.” Hill, the third generation on his Muskingum County family farm, learned how to make decisions at an early age. His father worked daylight to dusk for UPS and relied on his son to help run the farm. “My father, grandfather and uncle allowed me to make decisions at a very young age, and I guess that enabled me to take a leadership role,” he said. Eventually the family gave him a small piece of land to grow crops on and he bought 54 head of ewe lambs. Having his own land and animals taught him how to be responsible with his property and finances and how to manage his time.

and lawmakers. The tour was a huge success and made him realize how important it is for the public to see farms up close. For Peterson, he vividly remembers testifying as a Fayette County Farmer Ohio farmer, concerned about proposed federal wetlands reform. “The federal government by some definition would have eliminated my ability to farm. This was a case where I was very active writing to Congress – this was before email – calling and making personal visits whenever they were in my district,” he said.

Both politicians still farm full time and got their start at the county level through associations such as the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association (OCA) and Ohio Farm Bureau. Peterson is an eighth-generation farmer who learned about the political process through his various leadership positions at Ohio Farm Bureau, including president at both the state and county levels. He decided to run for county commissioner because he felt the community needed somebody with a farm background. “Farmers need to get involved in the political process and make sure political officials know that what they are doing affects agriculture,” said Peterson, who served as county commissioner for 14 years before being elected to the Ohio House of Representatives in 2011 and Ohio Senate in 2012. Hill also served as a county commissioner for six years and was active with the county Farm Bureau and the county cattlemen’s association, serving as its president. His public service started when he became a trustee for the Guernsey-Muskingum Electric Cooperative where he interacted with both legislators and community members about electric service and deregulation. Hill often made trips to Columbus or Washington D.C. to testify as a member of OCA, Farm Bureau or the rural elective cooperative board. “Speaking on the behalf of members was pretty cool,” he said. One time that he felt his testimony as a farmer made a difference was when dairy farmers were concerned about the price of milk. He worked with Ohio Farm Bureau on the issue, helping set policy and informing legislators. More than 20 years ago, he helped the Muskingum County Cattlemen’s Association host a tour of farms for the community

More than a Showman The responsibilities of an exhibitor reach far beyond the show ring By John F. Grimes, OSU Extension Beef Coordinator
I
f you picked up this copy of “The
Ring”’ it is obvious that you have some degree of interest in showing beef cattle. As someone whose family has been involved for showing cattle for more then 40 years, I can assure you that this practice has an important place in the beef industry and has created countless learning experiences and memories for everyone involved. The show ring has evolved over the years and continues to change. What role do you, the exhibitor, have in this evolution? There are a variety of reasons that a family or farm gets involved in showing cattle. If you are going to devote the many hours of time required to present an animal for exhibition, there has to be a degree of interest and/or love of beef cattle. There is no doubt that the thrill of competition is part of the equation. The opportunity to sell projects at the county fair or
win premiums at shows certainly creates excitement. While it may not be at the top of many lists as to why one shows cattle, expanding the knowledge base of beef cattle and the entire industry as well as the establishment of a strong work ethic for future years are certainly benefits. It is my opinion that the reasons that we show cattle aren’t much different today than in years past. However, the show ring experience has changed a great deal. The ideal phenotypes of beef cattle have changed, grooming styles have shifted, showmanship techniques have been tweaked, and there are certainly many more shows available. The Ohio Cattlemen’s Association’s BEST program has provided more opportunities than ever for youth exhibitors in Ohio. We now have a show season that stretches from November until April. As strange as this may sound to today’s junior exhibitor,

In many ways, the consumer Was this a good thing for the beef indushas a more watchful eye than any professional judge. The judge may control the events on a particular day at a show, but the opinions that the consumer develops about the beef industry may last for years to come. A responsible exhibitor should spend time to acquaint themselves with the beef industry. Many exhibitors today come from families that are not fully involved in the beef industry on a daily basis. Even though your family or farm may not be heavily invested in the beef industry, it is vitally important that an exhibitor and their family have a working knowledge of how their project should be properly cared for and managed.

Feature try? It depends on your perspective. If you prescribe to the “any publicity is good publicity” mentality, then you will view the “fluffy cow” rage as a positive. However, I’m not sure we need the public to start viewing our cattle as cute and adorable “pets.” The reaction to the “fluffy cow” issue should remind us about the diverse interests that are represented in the beef industry. I think all segments of the industry tend to develop a bit of “tunnel vision” in regards to their own interests. We often get caught up with the issues that impact our particular enterprises. The show cattle industry has more opportunity to interact directly with the public than any other segment of the beef industry. While many show ring participants will get excited to discuss the latest in grooming and fitting techniques, do you think the average consumer or commercial cow-calf producer really cares about this subject? I view this event as an opportunity for the beef industry. When you have the public’s attention, we need to give them a positive view of the entire industry. We need to let the public know that some of the benefits of showing cattle include youth development, family teamwork, and learning about such things as responsi-
bility, work ethic, and sound production practices. Do not lose sight that what we are ultimately doing with our show cattle is raising safe and nutritious beef and high quality kids along the way. The show cattle portion of the beef industry is a viable segment of the business but let’s not lose sight of the “big picture.” The OCA’s BEST program had more than 525 head participate in the 2012-13 show season. If all 88 Ohio counties had 50 steers exhibited at their county fair, that would total 4,400 head statewide. Statistics show that at the beginning of 2013, Ohio had a total of 290,000 beef cows. By any measure, the show industry is a small segment of the overall beef industry. However, it can be very influential. The responsible exhibitor understands that there are many opportunities in the show ring. Ribbons, trophies, banners, and cash awards may fuel our competitive desires but the responsibility, work ethic, leadership, and friendships gained are even more important. While the individual rewards can be significant, do not underestimate the contributions that you as an exhibitor can make to the entire industry. Are you up to the task? v

The Ohio State University Livestock Judging Team
“I placed the crossbred steers 3-2-4-1.” There’s obviously a pair of stout, productively built calves that surface quite easily. Since I’m convinced they both offer the fat steer basics of carcass value with body and structure, I’ll side with the neater fronted, more attractively designed black and white show steer that would likely get the nod in the ring. From the side it’s just no contest, my winner not only blends a longer, cleaner neck higher and more appropriately, into the front side of a smoother, more correctly assembled shoulder, but from there back, he’s equally impressive. Studying with a big, square hip, and matching his width up high with a more genuine build at the surface. In that he’s more in-line from hock to ground and studies with a bigger, more uniform foot design. He’s the trimmer, fresher finished calf as well, that should rail with an edge in yield grade. There’s no doubt, powerful, big ribbed, easy feeding cattle like 2 have tremendous value. In fact, if genetics allow, I predict the deeper ribbed, heavier finished steer, will end with a quality grade advantage. Unfortunately, from a build standpoint, he’s just a bit piecey. 2’s a plain fronted steer that’s shorter bodied, reads upright in his shoulder and slightly bows in his hock while being more refined at the ground. Still, the overwhelming difference in e h carcass value allows him to decisively beat t t e Me ck 4 in the middle. As you might expect, o t s e v

the Charolais influenced calf has a distinct advantage in width and muscle being the wider chested, wider based steer that accordingly is more powerful over his rib and loin and continues this advantage throughout his quarter. Ultimately, his increased carcass weight and ribeye size and the fact that he’s more market ready will directly improve his endpoint value. Certainly, 4 resembles my class winner as much as any from the profile. Not only in terms of his color pattern, but he’s the other ultra attractive steer, that is longer bodied and sounder fronted than 2. Unfortunately, he doesn’t offer enough fundamental width and muscle to be deemed a top pair contender so the frailest boned steer is a distant third. However, both cattle in the bottom pair run out of power so his skeletal quality keeps him off bottom. The spotted steer of the pair is considerably nicer balanced and more correctly structured, especially being fresher fronted and laid back more correctly in his shoulder and knee. Although he’s still too narrow, 4 actually remains more impressive in his width progression than 1. I admit this presents the illusion of being stouter when studied through his rib, foot and bone. Unfortunately, the solid black steer is too off-quality and dishonest in his build. This plain, heavy fronted steer is the most opened up through his shoulder and front end in relation to his pin width, and flattens the most from there to the ground, so I left the stalest appearing most inverted calf fourth. v
