Hair Shedding Comb Now, truly a hair shedding comb designed for all show cattle hair coats ... thick or thin! Removing dead hair has never been so simple and effective, EVER ... Saves Days! The extra-large 5” wide head covers 25% more area with each stroke than any previous shedding comb. This double-sided hair shedding comb features rounded stainless steel teeth with extra-wide spacing on one side that gently penetrate deep into the thickest, “wooly” hair coats removing old dead hair, yet leaving the healthy hair unharmed. Flip the comb over to the other side with narrow spaced teeth to remove dead hair from medium coats. Always remember ... the faster the dead hair is shed out, the faster new healthy hair will grow.
Sullivan’s
Staggered Bristle Roto Brush ™ The New Staggered Bristle Roto Brush has rows with staggered lengths of bristles, one row with long, the next row being 1/4” shorter. The short-cut rows allow the long bristles to work deeper into the hair. This creates more lift and volume to the hair, prevents the matted look and invigorates gentle stimulation to the hair base for new hair growth and faster hair training. Lime green color allows for easy visual while working with all hair colors. The lock nut keeps the brush securely tight and free from spinning loose. And the flat side of bolt allows it to lock tight in the drill and keep from spinning loose. A common problem with other roto brushes.
Teflon Combs
Get more hair perfection with Sullivan’s new Teflon Combs.
Patent pending.
Teflon is a solid polymer that is considered to be one of the world’s most slippery and water resistant substances. It has one of the lowest measured coefficients of friction of any compound. For our application, it creates a baked-on surface to the comb teeth for reduced friction and a non-stick lubricant that allows the comb to glide through the hair easier, especially with a sticky substance like adhesives. Although not full-proof, especially since adhesive is still a very sticky substance, you will however be glad to see a 40 to 50% improvement of less matting, less hair drag, less static and less stick to the comb when fitting a leg. It is definitely easier to clean adhesives from the comb and saves time while fitting. Another industry first from Sullivan’s ... the Innovative Leader! Available as Sullivan Combs, Fluffer Combs, and Double-Stuff Comb.

I love Fall, I love Halloween and Thanksgiving, and I LOVE Christmas! But once the calendar hits December 31st, I am ready for Spring and the promise of the New Year! I am truly an optimistic person, and I always strive to improve and make things better. It is fun to come up with new ideas, and then implement them. We can never stay the same, or life becomes stagnant and boring. And who wants to be boring!

I think it is exciting, that even in this economy, the livestock scene (and especially the junior exhibitor side of it) is going strong. Just like the traveling sports teams, families are loading up the trailer with their best animals and heading for shows across the United States. From Kansas City and Louisville in November, to Phoenix and Denver in January, and then all the Junior Nationals for cattle, and the major sheep, hog, and goat shows held throughout the spring and summer, California wheels spend a lot of time on the highways crisscrossing the states. All these exhibitors represent our state with pride, and prove they can compete with the best. It is a thrill to hear of the many accomplishments and awards that come back west. Congratulations to everyone who endeavors to reach new levels of competition!

2013 marks another big milestone. Do you realize that the California Junior Livestock Association is 14 years old? When I started the CJLA, I had a vision that the association would give a forum for learning experiences, competition, and rewards for our youth livestock exhibitors. We have definitely achieved those goals, as we annually have over 300 members participating. In 2013, we have 38 sanctioned shows where members can compete with their steers, heifers, lambs, hogs, and goats. We had 4 new shows come on board, and inquiries from several others that are interested in holding a sanctioned show. Support for our youth continues to grow and stay strong. How positive is that? Wow!!

Jackpot shows are important – not just as a place to win awards, but as an avenue to learn more about your project, gain confidence with your animals, to improve fitting and showing skills, to make friends that are interested in the same things as you are, and to spend time with family doing something you all enjoy.

Have you also thought about how much Jackpot Shows also affect the entire livestock industry as well? Producers who breed, raise, and sell animals geared toward youth projects have an increased market base from those youth who jackpot and compete year-round with their animals. Feed stores and feed companies have increased sales throughout the year because of those project animals that are being fed and raised for shows. Product suppliers sell more grooming supplies.

Sometimes though, with an activity that has been going on for a long time, people get used to things and grow complacent. They expect what they are used to and forget about how much effort goes into maintaining a certain level, or improving and growing to the next step. I KNOW times are tough for everyone, and that most people really have to stretch their dollars and carefully decide where to spend them. We all can agree that we cannot afford to lose the programs that offer great opportunities and are important to our children, our families, and our agriculture industry.

Time to Plan Ahead!
I hate to ask for help, but the CJLA desperately needs support this year. It takes a huge amount of money to fund the Award Program each year, and we rely entirely on donations and sponsorships. Even the smallest donation makes a big splash in the bucket! And all donations go directly toward the awards. Our Banquet is coming up on February 16th, 2013 at the fairgrounds in Paso Robles. Held during the Western Bonanza weekend, we annually host 700 + guests. We give out over 300 awards and recognize the top ten members in age groups, overall awards, and showmanship. Our members look forward to their chance to walk across the stage and have their name and honors announced. PLEASE consider donating to the CJLA. Let’s all work together to reach the next level! You can contact me anytime to discuss the CJLA and how you would like to help.

Using Animal Instincts in Animal Handling
By Dr. Lynn Delmore, Delmore Consulting Certified Meat Plant Animal Welfare Auditor Professional Animal Auditor Certification Organization (PAACO) In the last issue, I spoke of Dr. Temple Grandin and her enormous impact on animal handling in the meat packing industry, but her influence does not stop there. Dr. Grandin has provided valuable insight on animal behaviors from pasture, pens and transportation as well. Regardless of location, animal behavior is based on instincts and learned responses to previous experiences. Thus, when animals first come in contact with people they act instinctively and over time will learn what to expect. If animals are handled in a calm and quiet manner they will eventually develop trust of handlers, conversely if they are handled roughly, they will learn to fear.
at which they want to run becomes less. Utilizing the basic instinct of flight zone is a very effective method of moving livestock. Handlers that slowly enter the flight zone can move animals in the desired direction. If the animals begin to panic, move too fast or bump into each other or the fences the handler simply backs off and moves out of the flight zone. When we are working our show animals, they may have little to no flight zone due to our routine handling of them.
Livestock have 5 basic instinctual behaviors designed to protect them from predators. These behaviors are:
Herd Formation -
Point of Balance –
Animals feel safer when in groups, thus try to avoid moving and working animals by themselves. Whenever possible, keep at least two animals together.
The shoulder is the point at which when approached animals will move forward or reverse. A handler can calmly move livestock by passing the point of balance. If you want to move animals forward, a handler can simply walk past the point of the shoulder toward the rear of the animal and they will move forward. Likewise, to encourage animals to move back a handler will walk from the back of the animal toward the head and as they pass the point of the shoulder, the animal will
Facing and Flight Zone – Animals face a perceived threat and run away when the threat comes too close. As animals become more familiar with us and their surroundings the distance January/February 2013

Milling and Circling –
likely back or turn away. Livestock also instinctively follow each other in a single file line, thus if one animal is motivated with point of balance techniques, others often follow. Single file movement is especially helpful to quietly move livestock through gates and working chutes.
When threatened a dominant animal will stand in the center of a bunch and more nervous animals will mill around and circle the outside of the group. These milling and circling animals are the least predictable and cause the greatest risk to both themselves and the people working with them. Ideally, a handler will be able to drive livestock utilizing loose bunching and the animals will not exhibit milling and circling behaviors.
Loose Bunching – Livestock tend to stay near each other when in open spaces and bunch together when threatened. Their instinct to bunch is quite useful when moving livestock. This is easily seen when a dog works sheep, the sheep quickly bunch up and move in one direction. People can use this bunching instinct just as working dogs do. While bunching animals, be careful to not push them too hard, which will result in animals bumping into each other and/ or scattering of the bunch. Handlers can move a loose bunch by moving in a zigzag pattern behind the bunch much like cutting horses do.
By understanding these basic instincts, an animal handler can better work with livestock. Some folks just “get” how to work with animals, we all know someone to whom animals just respond well to when working with them. Chances are these individuals understand these basic animal instincts. I challenge you all to think about these basic behaviors of livestock next time you handle your own animals.

"Sittin' Round the Showbox"
with Celeste Settrini
Everyone will want her on her side. She is a good friend, a confident, a lover of children, a dedicated daughter, sister and aunt. She aligns herself with those that are like her yet also with those who push her and challenge her and make her better. She is not afraid to expand her boundaries and learn new things, finding miracles in all that is out there.
A Column That Is Me
She is committed to a number of causes probably giving more than she should at times, feeling overwhelmed and learning to delegate though, at times, finding it difficult and then getting a bit goofy with herself for biting off too much. She is fiercely loyal to her family, her friends and her convictions. She will offer you a tissue, a cup or tea, a beer or a glass of wine whatever suites you when you need it but give you a swift kick in the behind when she thinks it is the best thing for you, to get you out there and make it your best.
It’s another new year and with a new year brings new beginnings, fresh starts and a sense of a clean slate! It is like a birthday! I love birthdays and celebrations, don’t you? It’s another year that has given me the opportunity to write for Pacific Showcase and for that I am forever grateful. Why? It makes me better, it makes me think, it makes me create a connection to all of you.
She is focused, committed, chaotic and charming (or so I think). She will always make time for young people sharing her knowledge of speaking and livestock and leadership. Yet at times can be running in a million directions for herself , her family , her ranch and yes even some of you and the adventures that take her there, all the while trying to keep a smile on her face though sometimes showing stress and being ok with it all.
I ask for your indulgence and imagination as we look at my column and the year ahead. If my column was an actual person, what would she be like at another year older?
She loves to travel but loves coming back to the ranch even more. She likes getting flowers, and wear jewelry and makeup and crazy boots and clothing. She might take up a fair amount of time creating eclectic outfits but is most comfortable with the cows in a pair of jeans, a ball cap and a Carhartt coat!
She would be real, her lovely face would show signs of living, small lines around her eyes from years of smiles, laughter and joy at livestock shows with the people she calls family. A wrinkle or two or three from days spent in the hot sun helping on the farm or ranch or with animal projects, feeding cows and sheep.
She tries to always be fair and truthful and shy from saying anything negative but if you ask will be the first to share her thoughts as truthful yet as kind as she can.
Her character would be one of strength yet softness. She may cry at any given moment when overcome with emotion from an animal that has lost its life after hours or even days of hard work in trying to keep it alive. Yet she is strong and realizes that there is a time and place for it all and she will face what comes to her with grace.
She is your friend – she is your column here at Pacific Showcase Magazine, she is me.

Message from the Jr Board by Logan Van Allen Collar or No Collar? Bling or No Bling? From the time I first started showing, a collared western shirt was the proper attire for a jackpot show. Many show catalogs say that a showman must wear a collared shirt. However, in the recent years I have noticed that showman have started to deviate from the collared shirts and move more towards modern clothing. Along with the change in shirts, there has also been a change in pants from Wranglers to fashionable bling jeans. So, what is the proper show attire?
The CJLA Award Banquet is scheduled for February 16, 2013 at the Paso Robles Fairgrounds - in conjunction with the Western Bonanza Jr. Livestock Show. Invitations have been mailed to all 2012 CJLA members. Please RSVP by January 25th so we can confirm with the caterer the number of dinners needed. There will only be a limited number of extra meal tickets available for purchase at the door. Donít miss out on this great event, RSVP now! In order to make all our donations and sponsorships spread farther and cover more of the expenses of the Awards, we have decided to charge for the dinner tickets for the members and two family members. This is something we never wanted to have to do, and we had hoped to find a donor to pick up the expense of the Banquet meal. Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened and we feel it is most important to put our dollars towards what the kids receive. As you will see on the Banquet invitation mailed to 2012 members, the member and two family members will be able to purchase their dinner tickets at a reduced cost and extra tickets will remain at the same price as in past years. This will still be less than you can go out to eat for, and we hope everyone will still choose to attend the banquet and support the members as they are recognized for their achievements and hard work over the past year. The Banquet is always a fun night enjoyed by everyone!
If a catalog states “must wear a collared shirt”, an exhibitor should respect that rule just as much as they would respect a weigh back rule. In my personal opinion, showing in a collared shirt looks clean and professional. Some people may say that collared shirts are ‘plain’ and you will blend in with the rest of the showman. In fact, collared shirts come in many colors and styles and could easily be made ‘fashionable’ with a bling necklace or bracelet. I remember so vividly a showmanship class where I was put 3rd because I was not wearing a collared shirt. The judge made it clear to me that the show rules state that all exhibitors are required to wear a collared shirt and I was not doing so. Ever since that experience, I have continued to wear collared shirt no matter what the weather is and no matter what show it is.
We still need sponsors for the awards! Have you contacted your potential donors yet? If you want Heidi to contact someone, please get the information to her and she will give them a call. Every amount, small or large, helps out immensely! We also need items for the auction that is held during the banquet. This is a great fund-raiser for CJLA and everyone enjoys bidding on the many different items. Please see what you can bring baskets of all kinds, western stuff, jewelry, project supplies, kid stuff, fun stuff, show stuff, art, furniture, collectibles, outdoor trips, weekend get-a-ways, the ideas are unlimited! See what you can round up! Go to businesses you frequent or special places in your area, tell them about the CJLA and see what they would donate - or get items from several different places and put together in a basket.
Most shows do not specify which jeans they would like you to show in; Wranglers or bling jeans. I do not think that the style of jeans affects the overall appearance as much as a shirt style does. In my opinion, I absolutely love showing in bling jeans. I have a small obsession with all types of fashionable jeans, as I’m sure many other girls do as well. If your ‘bling’ on your pants is within a moderate amount, I am sure a judge will not have a fit. A lot of controversy has come about the bling jeans when it comes down to a showman’s ‘whites’. A good rule to remember is ‘ everything in moderation’. In the end, it is up to the exhibitor whether they want to show in a collared shirt or in jeans with bling. Whichever outfit you choose, follow these 3 rules:
The CJLA Junior Board is working on some special items for the auction! Everyone is going to be thrilled to see what they have put together!!!

Finding our Way in the Next Legislative Session By Kirk Kimmelshue As we embark on 2013 and have wrapped up the holiday season, we can be thankful for the post-election peace, free of political advertising and programming. As producers, however, we must keep a few lessons in mind.
2013-2014 legislative session. LaMalfa has been appointed to the Agriculture Committee and Valadao has been tapped for a seat on the powerful Appropriations Committee. For the first time in recent memory, the west coast will see numerous representatives on the House Agriculture Committee to further the goals of agriculture in California and the surrounding western states.
Bridging the Political Gap Working to inform our legislators about agriculture, regardless of their party affiliation, is going to be the key to success in the upcoming legislative session.
The aforementioned freshman representative, Rep. Doug LaMalfa, will join Rep. Jeff Denham (R-Turlock), Rep. John Garamendi (D-Walnut Creek), Rep. Jim Costa (D-Fresno), Rep. Gloria Negrete McLeod (DChino) and Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-Salem) on the Agriculture Committee. Central Valley Dairymen Rep. David Valado (R-Hanford) and Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Visalia) will also have leading agricultural voices on the hill in D.C. We must do our part to ensure the message of agriculture in the western states is present in the office of all of these members.
Emily Robidart Rooney, President of the Ag Council of California, explains that moving forward, agriculture and its stakeholders must continue to seek consensus on agricultural issues among all parties. “The results of the most expensive election cycle on record helped validate the approach California Agriculture has taken in reaching out to California lawmakers,” Rooney said. “Party affiliation is a line we have to continue to bridge and cross in order to make sure all California’s lawmakers know the value of agriculture to the state’s success.”
To ensure our voices are heard, Ag Council President Emily Robidart Rooney further explained the need for advocacy with members of both your state’s Congressional Delegation and your state’s State Legislature. “We are hopeful that through continued advocacy, we will be able to influence more reasonable lawmakers to vote with us on our key issues pertaining to labor, water, environmental and fiscal matters,” Rooney said. “This will not be an easy task, but through consistent outreach, perhaps the most-savvy legislators will be encouraged to employ more moderate behavior.”
Rooney goes on to explain the changing dynamic in the California State Legislature with Democrats holding a supermajority in both houses. “In the California Legislature, Democrats now hold a two-thirds supermajority in the state Senate, which was anticipated,” Rooney said. “Democrats also now have a two-thirds veto-proof supermajority in the Assembly.”
Doing Your Part
What does a supermajority in the state legislature mean to you and to California agriculture? Possibly more than you think. “A supermajority gives one political party the ability to override vetoes, avoid deadlines and more easily place constitutional changes on the ballot,” Rooney said. “This underscores the need to reach out to moderate legislators to ensure that California’s position as the number one agricultural economy is secure.”
No matter what side of the political aisle you reside on, whether the election results gave you great excitement or met you with grave disappointment, as producers, we have to do our part to weigh in with our representatives. We’ve all got a to-do list a mile long and it’s easy to say you can’t go meet with your legislator when he or she is in town because you have to breed cows, plant corn or walk pigs for the fair, but you must make telling your story to your elected official a top-priority.
Moreover, California’s Congressional Delegation has also seen an overhaul. While California will be sending more Democrats to Congress in addition to the State Legislature, California Agriculture did see some Congressional Delegation victories. California will send two freshman producers to Washington D.C. this year. More than it has seen in quite some time. Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale), a rice farmer from Northern California will represent California’s new first Congressional district. His colleague, Central Valley Dairy Farmer, Rep. David Valadao (R-Hanford) will also be a freshman representative heading to D.C. Both men have already secured powerful agricultural assignments for the
Many elected officials will have town halls, coffee on your corner events and other constituent outreach events that you can and should attend. Attend these events – and more importantly, ask questions. Ask your federally elected legislators what they are going to do about Estate Tax reform. Ask your state officials what they are going to do to ensure you have the water needed to grow your crops. Explain to them your way of life. While we do have some elected officials who come from agriculture, most do not. We can’t assume these members and their staffs know our issues and the problems we face. We have to take the lead on ensuring those elected to represent us know our issues and know how to help be a part of the solution to the problems we face. Now more than ever, producers having strong relationships with their elected officials are critical to our success.

Wherever you sit reading this article, the 2014 election is only a little over 600 days away, so now is the time to weigh in with your legislators. Remember, they work for you – the people. Hopefully with constant reminders from the producers of their districts that we are watching, listening and weighing in on what they are doing as it relates to agriculture, we can move the ball a little further down the line. This battle won’t be won overnight and it certainly will be a continued fight, but it’s a battle we must fight. In many cases our way of life, our livelihood and our future depends on it. Get involved.

HOW SHOWS COMPARE Now it is no secret that everything is bigger in Texas, and that goes for jackpot shows, too. Texas has the reputation for having not only the most number of jackpots in a state, but also some of the largest and most competitive. While the California jackpot season runs primarily from winter to spring, Texas is just about the opposite. Since a majority of the major shows in Texas take place in January-March, their jackpot season really takes off in late spring and ends in late fall.
By Brooke Bennett Director of Communication, North American Limousin Foundation By the time you’re reading this article, the jackpot season will be in full swing across the country. This is a time of the year where many of you will be spending your weekends traveling from show to show from one end of the state to the other. If you are a member of the California Junior Livestock Association (CJLA), you might spend a good portion of the year chasing points to be able to meet your eight shows for points, and even more if you want to drop a show that might not have gone your way.
The reason for the difference in timing for the different jackpot seasons can be attributed to the time of year when most of these animals meet their end point. In California, most market animals are geared towards a late spring-fall end point depending on which county you are from, so it makes sense to have winter-spring jackpot season when these animals can be shown as prospects. This timing of jackpot season in Texas really picks up in the summer and fall months since those animals are geared towards a spring end point.
If you are not involved with CJLA (and I recommend you get involved in this first-class association), jackpot shows can serve as a valuable tool to showmen of every level. These shows provide the opportunity to sharpen showmanship skills, perfect the artistry of fitting and even to establish life-long friendships. Probably most importantly, jackpot shows allow show animals to adjust to the chaos that surrounds them. This is invaluable when your animal is at its final show. For one thing, your animal won’t be fazed by the madness that can surround them. Steers coming in on twenty-foot ropes that have had little human contact, runaway pigs, and startled sheep can create a great deal of stress in an animal that has never been out of their barn.
Whether you attend 10 jackpot shows a year, or just a local one, you as a showman not only benefit from participating, but your show animals will as well. The more you have the opportunity to work with them away from home and expose them to different environments the better they will work with you in the future. Also, when do you actually clip fit your project animals? When do you get to the shows! The more jackpots you go to, the more practice you get clipping and fitting. Think of it as rehearsals for the “big show,” the end point show for your project, be it a local fair, county fair, state show, or national show. Use these jackpot shows to not only grow as a showman but also take advantage of the opportunities that surround these shows. It’s never too early to start networking and making connections with other attendees, both personally and professionally. I met my future college advisor at a show. After the show, I was introduced to him. He pulled out a card, wrote two phone numbers on it, got on his cell phone, and set up a campus tour and lunch for me and my parents on our way back to California after the show. How was I hooked up with him? Through some great friendships I made with a great group of people from Kansas. We showed together at Arizona Nationals for many years. It was a highlight to see them every year.
It’s amazing how jackpots have evolved since I was a junior exhibitor participating in these shows. Not to age myself by any means, but when I first began participating at jackpot shows the selection was limited to the Sierra Winter Classic in Porterville, Western Bonanza in Paso Robles, Great Western in Tulare and the newly introduced Red Wave Classic in Fresno. Now it seems that nearly every major junior and senior college with an agriculture department in California has a jackpot show. As I was wrapping up my junior show career, a new show system was in the works of being adopted that originated in Texas. This new system was a two show ring concept: an A ring and a B ring. Now, numerous jackpot shows throughout the country have adopted the system. The two show ring concept essentially allows exhibitors to receive double points at each show, so if you have a bad day in one ring, you have a second chance under an entirely different judge. If you are chasing points, this can really play out to your benefit as it allows you to acquire more points.

International Show Comparison: Canada Canadian jackpot shows tend to have more juniors showing cattle from their families/own breeding programs versus bought project heifers/steers. Most shows that involve a junior class require the junior to perform all fitting at the event.

The timing of the show varies a lot based on where you live in Canada. The Prairie Provinces have most in early spring prior to our 4-H achievement days that run April to June. In Eastern Canada a lot of events take place in the summer and early fall. The timing of production activities like seeding, calving and harvest can vary from one end of the country to the other and can impact event dates.

The type of cattle seen at jackpot shows in Canada has changed as more Canadians are using “steer bull” sires. There has also been an increase in steer and heifer projects that have been purchased in the United States and imported to Canada. More genetics are travelling across the border, more fitting clinics are taking place and the passion to show cattle continues to grow with youth.

Korner It Was Déja Vu All Over Again
In 1902 A.B. Graham started corn and tomato growing clubs in Ohio and is credited with birthing the 4-H program. Meanwhile, T.A. “Dad” Ericson of Minnesota started after-school clubs and fairs. In 1910, Jessie Field Shambaugh developed the clover pin with an H on each leaf and by 1912, they were called 4-H Clubs. Young people have been having fun, serving their communities, building life-long friendships and learning for all these years and this was just beginning for Emily. Roll call, minutes, project reports, reminders, all the familiar trappings of the 4-H meeting, but with the introduction of “new members,” I remembered how intertwined the 4-H program was in our family life. My dad was a 4-H member and raised Guernseys. I had projects that ranged from cooking to cattle. My husband, Emily’s Poppa, rode tractors and horses, showed steers and baked cookies. Emily’s mom, my daughter, showed sheep and steers, built pinhole cameras and excelled at leadership. Her Wyoming uncle showed steers and heifers instead of hogs, because “the girls were cuter in the beef barn.” A long line of grandparents and great grandparents, aunts and uncles had served as 4-H leaders.
By Kathleen Wood Vieira
September’s first Wednesday of the month found us seated in the middle of the Creston School’s cafeteria/auditorium. Oldest granddaughter Emily’s blue eyes followed the chaos that swirled around us. Kids raced back and forth between the tables. Knots of parents visited around the edges of the room and some big kids were seating themselves at a long table nearest the door, visiting and organizing papers.
In the fall of 1962, I joined San Dieguito 4-H. September of 1982, my daughter, Kate, joined Creston 4-H, continued on until age 18 in Pioneer 4-H; and now in 2012, Emily was adding her name to the roles of the Creston 4-H. So newest member, Emily Elizabeth Vieira, almost nine years old, bravely climbed to her feet and introduced herself. Leader Bordanaro looked up from the agenda he had been following and stared at Emily, possibly seeing in that slightly scared, but equally eager face, her mother at that age.
Under the American flag, the clock eased slightly past seven o’clock. I squirmed a bit on the hard bench seat and stole a look at Emily. In six short weeks, she would celebrate the big nine year-old birthday. Even though she had been reminding me daily that I was expected to attend her first 4-H meeting and she was so excited to be finally able to join her friends and classmates in the regular ranks, she was overcome by shyness.
Tommy and I had been co-leaders of this same club many years ago. After a few years, I formed another club closer to town, but Tommy had stayed with Creston 4-H. He took a moment to introduce me and I walked down the aisle to stand by his chair. So many good times we had: organizing a mini-field day, cleaning the cemetery for our community project, running the pool fund carnival, judging record books, camping at the fair, enjoying the company of many great 4-H kids. Yes, great memories. I looked around the room and saw many former members with their current 4-Hers seated beside them.
Tommy Bordanaro, the Creston 4-H community leader sat opposite the board of directors and looked at his watch. “Everybody, please sit down. We plan on getting out of here at around 7:30 so you all need to be quiet and pay attention. That includes you parents,” he said. And the uproar quieted to a very low murmur as kids and parents skittered to seats. “Mackenzie will lead us in the 4-H pledge.”
I am ready for the next round of 4-H activities, not quite ready for a full-fledged leadership role, yet, but I offered any kind of help to Emily’s dairy goat leader. It was good to be pledging my head, heart, hands and health to the 4-H program. I am so going to enjoy watching the next generation learn by doing.
We all stood and recited the familiar head, heart, hands and health. I wondered how many of those promising their health to better living for their club, community and their country actually knew how this great organization came to be. Over a hundred years ago, university researchers found it difficult

to get adults in the farming community to accept new agricultural discoveries. They found that young people were more willing to experiment with the new ideas and figured that if the kids’ new ideas were outdoing their parents, the new technology would take root down on the farm.

It’s Lambing Time
ing chart to the computer and the couch over Thanksgiving and begin revealing the “dates to remember” using a standard lambing chart often found in most breed associations and industry lambing books. If you cannot find the conversion chart, just Google “lambing charts.” Begin converting the breeding dates to lambing dates identifying the ewe number and the date she is due. If she marked more than once, the first is usually null and void and the next marking date becomes the expected lambing date. I list both on the sheet so that I know to check her on the first date just to be safe so that if it WAS the settle date, I don’t have her out in the back forty because on paper, she would not be due for another 17 days on the second marking date. I use Microsoft eExcel as it easily puts the information in columns and it allows for sorting the data. I can sort by due date or by lambing date within each of the bucks I used. I can also add to this as they lamb, recording birth date, weight, and sex. The final chart is sorted by lambing date and when finished, I like to print it in variable sizes and laminate so that I can post them on the refrigerator, carry it in my purse, my truck, or even post it on my desk at school, so that when I check the website camera, I know what sheep to be looking for. Bottom line, a dead lamb at lambing costs money and can easily be corrected if you know when they are coming.
….. Are you ready?
By Tracy Dendinger For most of us in the business it is that time of year again as the much anticipated lambing season approaches. It can be an exciting time, just like Christmas, opening presents and seeing what you get! But, it can also be a very stressful period managing the ewes, the lambs, and everything in between, especially when you are unprepared. I always preach about controlling the variables in which you can control and being prepared in the lambing barn is one of them. Let’s look at some of the essentials that can contribute to a successful season. 1. Save the Date. A wedding? Not exactly, but more like a delivery. It is critical to know when they are coming! I like to take my breed-
2. “Must Have” Supplies. These are the little things that can contribute to the success of lambing season. (See table below.)

The list seems overwhelming I know, but it must be tackled and controlled for success. Lambing season is hard work and has no tolerance for the weary. If this is your first lambing season or your 25th, the requirements are the same: hours of time, dedication to welfare, and a passion for the sheep industry. Much can be January/February 2013
learned from this experience and let us not let it be unpreparedness. Your crop is only once per year and with higher than ever costs of inputs, EVERY lamb counts in the bottom line. So what are you waiting for……..get ready. Best wishes for a productive and profitable lambing season. 30

What do I need to know and do as a buyer? By Geoff Gates-Gator Auction Co. Besides the obvious, (paying for your purchases), there are some things you can do and should know as a buyer. It’s important to do your homework. This kind of homework however is pretty simple and straight forward. Figure out some kind of budget. Decide how many you’re going to buy or if just purchasing one animal, what your top and what your bottom is going to be. The reason this is important is because the upper end of your budget should represent something that’s usually of better quality to you in your mind. At the top of your budget I suggest to put a “buffer” in there. Here’s just a personal tip because often times when talking with people after a sale they make the comment, “dang it, if I would’ve bid just one more time I would’ve gotten that one!” However, it’s wise to keep that “buffer” close to what your maximum budget is. For example, decide if that buffer is $100 or $250. In some cases, it could even be $500 or more. But this is where things may get out of hand, so establish your budget and “buffer” and stick with it. Also recognize what your lower limit is. Sure we’d all like to get something bought for under our perceived value and feel like we got a good deal and I’m right there with you. However, establishing a bottom end of your budget also allows you to be able to make a purchase that you are comfortable with and not feel guilty and unhappy with just getting something “cheap."
know of your desires to purchase at that particular sale. These people will be able to help you make your purchases if you cannot attend in person. Make sure you go over all details of the transaction so that you are aware of the terms such as: when payment of said purchase is due, what methods of payment are expected, transportation of livestock, etc. Sellers and sale management are always willing to help you on this. When going to a live sale, plan on getting there early. Check in the office or registration desk to become familiar with the terms of the sale and get updated on any information. Register for a buyer’s number if they’re using this method of tracking buyers. Look over the offering to decide which ones you like best or would like to try to buy. You should have a strategy involved as you approach the sale. That strategy involves one of my biggest suggestions. At the sale after you’ve looked over the livestock, select your top 3 choices. The reason I feel this is important is if one of those three goes beyond your budget, you always have two other choices to still try and get. And in some cases, these other choices may be below what you had established as the top end of your budget. So that becomes a win-win situation. However, all three choices could still be bumping your established top budget and you’re still in good shape to make a purchase. Don’t limit yourself to “zeroing in” on one lot. This brings on a lot of anxiety and if you don’t get that lot, some disappointment. So this is where some strategy plays a role on your part as mentioned above.
Study the sale(s) you want to attend. Mark them in your calendar. Sometimes there are so many it can be overwhelming. Find out and make sure which type of sale it is: online, live auction, private treaty (phone bid), or open house. Also study the offering at each sale you want to attend or purchase from by contacting the seller or reviewing the catalog. This can be particularly important if it is an online sale and you can’t physically go to see the livestock. Often times, sales conflict with your schedule. If this is the case, make arrangements well in advance of the sale date with the sellers, sale management, or auctioneer and let them
You must understand that when a sale is put together, the people selling them are proud of their livestock. They want to offer you the best that they can and hope you have a good experience with your new purchase. They deserve your respect just as much as the respect that they extend to you. Don’t go into a sale situation expecting it to be one sided. In other words, if you purchase something from sellers at a sale and something happens to your livestock, you can’t hang everything on them (the seller). If something was noted or brought to the public’s attention in the sale of the livestock prior to the transaction, then that’s different. This is just a mindset that I think should be taken into consideration. The whole idea is to have a good, happy, and enjoyable experience. Doing your homework and having a strategy in place will assure that you have a good experience. Also, being prepared prior to making your selections and purchases will eliminate, for the most part, any surprises. Attending or buying at a sale can be exciting and rewarding for you. The thrill of deciding what to purchase and when to strike can be fun. It also takes a little bit of work and preparation. Hopefully some of the tips given here will help assist you on what to do as a buyer. I look forward to seeing you around ringside in 2013 and wish you luck with your livestock projects and purchases!

O'Neals FFA Chapter Wins National ParliPro Competition The crowd is silent as the team steps onto the stage. Five chairs and one podium sit upon the stage and in front of each chair, stands a member of the FFA. Each member, while looking calm, is shaking within. This is the beginning of a Parliamentary Procedure round at the FFA National Convention held in Indianapolis this October. The FFA Chapter from Minarets High School in O’Neals, California attended the National Convention and supported six fellow Mustangs competing in the Parliamentary Procedure competition after having earned the California Title of State Parliamentary Procedure Champions! The six trained hard for their entire summer with their coaches Mrs. Mattes and Ben Granholm. This training included taking tests, solving problems that could come before a meeting, and running rounds that demonstrated how to properly execute a meeting as many times as possible. Minarets FFA could not have represented California any better because they are now the 2012 National Parliamentary Procedure Champions with Breanna Cairns being named the Outstanding debater in the nation! Each of these students, who gave up years of their time for this moment, came home accredited parliamentarians with $1,000 in their pockets and triumph in their hearts. Minarets FFA would like to applaud the following students for their unwavering dedication to their FFA chapter: President Sarah Graves, Secretary Rachel Oatman, Chair
two Sarah Bradshaw, Chair three Cody McDougald, Chair Four Breanna Cairns and Chair five Josh Dowell. Thank you all for representing us well.

Idaho FFA Association National Convention Overview
The 85th convention of the National FFA Organization was wildly successful for the Idaho FFA Association. The convention was the culmination for the year of work dedicated by Blackfoot’s Seth Pratt as he retired from his post as the Western Region Vice President. Seth’s election to national office was a first for Idaho in twenty year. The Fruitland Idaho FFA Chapter brought home the state’s highest placing in a career development event (CDE). Cheyenne Schmerber, Jake Elliott, Nick Fagen, and Cameron Capps took second place honors in the milk quality and products event. Their efforts were closely followed by six other gold ranking Idaho chapters including Meridian, 3rd place parliamentary procedure; Kuna 4th place farm business management and 8th place meats evaluation and technology; Middleton, 12th place in nursery/landscape, and Fruitland again earning 13th place in agronomy. In individual awards Burley’s Slade Beck took national runner up honors in the proficiency area of specialty crop production. Slade has an extensive project as an owner of a sugar beet operation in southern Idaho. Over 400 students attended the convention representing the Gem State. All chapters reported a successful convention experience and are looking forward to gearing up for next year’s event in Louisville, KY.

Public Speaking Tips from California’s Best
CA FFA: How important is your personal appearance at a public speaking contest? Tim: It is extremely important. Don’t me antisocial. Talking with the other contestants (when permitted) can help you stay relaxed before the competition. You always want to be in full uniform. Even the slightest sign of non official dress can come off as unprepared.
CA FFA is all about helping YOU, the member. We love sharing tips with members to assist in improving leadership skills. CA FFA was grateful to interview California’s 2012 Impromptu Public Speaking State Champion, Tim Truax from the Pitman FFA Chapter. Tim believes that “perfect practice makes perfect” speeches. Check out Tim’s interview below!
CA FFA: How do you make hand and facial gestures look natural? Tim: Always seem genuine- over dramatic gestures makes the speaker seem somewhat creepy. If a topic comes to mind that seems to hit you emotionally, show that with gestures and facial expressions, but stay reserved and professional. CA FFA: Since this was California’s first time having the impromptu public speaking contest, how did you prepare for the contest?
CA FFA: Tim, you look very calm when speaking, do you still get nervous?
Tim: I literally practiced it religiously. Daily, the contest ran through my mind. I would spend my nights writing out speeches and going through ideas on what to do during competitions. Not only would I perform a card to my advisors, but to family members, administrators, and teachers to ensure that I got the best advice possible. Not to mention practicing in front of a mirror, because after all, you are your best critic.
Tim: Although I seem rather calm when I speak, I still get incredibly nervous in front of a crowd. Before I enter the competition room, I make sure to run several tips and key ideas through my head to ensure that I don’t mess up on a word or sentence. This helps me incorporate stories and different concepts which make me more confident when speaking.
CA FFA: What advice do you have for a first time impromptu speaking contestant?
CA FFA: What advice do you have on answering questions?
Tim: Think of stories, key concepts, and quotes that can not only hit the judges professionally, but emotionally. Think of ideas that the normal members would encounter and make them relate to the topic. Stay confident, genuine, and just overall a professional!
Tim: Don’t jump right in on answering. Take time to think. Try to incorporate a quote that has a definite meaning to the merits of the questions and has the ability to touch the heart of those listening.
