For that fresh, healthy hair, use the Sullivan Hair Care Program. Sullivan's FungALL
Brown Tinted Hair?
TM
Get'em BLACK with Black VelvetTM Hair Dye
FungALL is a paste product that is topically applied to kill ringworm. It quickly kills the fungus, repairs the skin, and regenerates hair growth to its original state. Simply apply directly to ringworm spots for 3 to 5 days, twice per day. There is no need to scrape the ringworm before applying.
Black Velvet dye turns brown tinted hair into a beautiful high-gloss black color. An added benefit: Black Velvet infuses the hair with softness, body and an incredible healthy shine. Very easy to use.
Get the Fresh and Healthy Hair you Dream about...REVIVE IT! 1) The first step to having good hair is to have healthy skin. The natural oils of REVIVE moisturize the skin and hair. Every night before letting your cattle out, spray REVIVE over the entire body, comb in and blow deep down into the skin. Let REVIVE soak into the hair and skin overnight, rinse out in the morning. The hair will look healthier and feel stronger. It also works great to eliminate flaking skin.
Is hair training a problem? 2) When working the hair daily, use KLEEN SHEEN to condition and train the hair. Spray KLEEN SHEEN once per day over the entire animal and blow dry into the hair. Hair will separate easily with lots of body and shine.
KLEEN SHEEN & REVIVE...the very best Hair Care Combination! Oxy-ExplosionTM
SHAGTM
Air Express III TM America's #1 blow dryer! The most power, the most features, the most value! 8 different colors.
Oxy-Explosion and SHAG are two of our very best feed supplements to create luxurious hair coats. They also improve muscle, bone development and create more aggressive appetites.

editor
Can you believe that we are on the verge of 2010? I remember all the hoopla when we ended the 1900’s with 1999 and swung into the year 2000. A lot of things have happened in the 10 years since then. Good things and bad, ups and downs, and a few curves along the way have affected each and every one of us. It seems as if we get adjusted to the current situation, things settle down, everything is going great, and then wham! Another curve in the road. We are hearing daily about the economy and how tough things are for everyone. We are also hearing lots of information on how to weather this storm in our lives. I believe it is more important than ever to stay focused on your goals and to keep moving forward. It is important to keep a positive mental outlook and take advantage of the support system you have around you. Your family, friends, co-workers, are all sources for reassurance, help, and guidance if you need it.

During the holiday season, as Christmas passes by and the New Year arrives, we all should take the time to reflect on what we have to be thankful for. Are we healthy and happy? Holding our own? Blessed with those wonderful families and friends? Did we have some moments through the past year that brought us joy? When you start adding all those up, there is truly much to rejoice.

In our livestock world, the New Year also signals the start of the Jackpot show season. The hog, sheep, and meat goat sales fill the calendar. This issue includes the Jackpot Breakdown section. In this list, you will find dates and contacts for shows held throughout the western states. We’ve had a few shows that have decided not to hold their event in 2010. Sometimes this is due to funding, conflicting dates, or lack of enough help to put it on. The shows that have set dates are excited to do what they can to support our youth involved in raising and showing animals. You as exhibitors need to remember that these shows are mainly put on by volunteers – people making time to do something for you! Many times they are putting in their own money to make things work and they are not compensated for their efforts except by the words of thanks they receive. A word of appreciation and thanks goes so far to make the hard work worthwhile. Please keep this in mind when you are asked to sponsor, or to help out. And if it happens that you have a valid complaint, offer a solution as well.

SHOWMANSHIP: The Key to Success By Joel Judge ideas, there are 2 views, rear and side. Most all classes start off side to side so get in the ring and get to your position quickly and confidently, most kids that don’t know always look lost. You will then be asked to walk the animal usually in a clock wise motion around the ring. When walking, keep a nice easy pace and be aware of your position in the ring such as gates and corners. All leaders have preached so long about keep the head up, but this is wrong, you should lead your animal at a comfortable head level not too high and definitely not too low, just something that is comfortable. This allows your animal to stride out and move free and easy rather than tight and confined, you never see cattle walking in a pasture with their head cranked up high in the air unless danger is present. You will be stopping for a side view from the walk; this is where awareness comes in again. You need to plan ahead and stop at a distance that allows you to set up the animal and yet not be on top of the person in front of you. I like to preach stopping the animal into its front feet, this allows for a faster setup and a quicker, better look for the judge. This can be done easily with lots of practice at home. When you are stopped the front feet can be even or the show side foot (right) slightly forward and the back feet should always be staggered placing the show side again farther back than the offside or left foot. This provides a much nicer look for the animal as it corrects the top line and leg set from the side view. Now is the time to get that animals head up and looking straight forward. Many times younger showmen struggle keeping that head forward so you need to work on different scratching positions to keep them presented correctly. When you get out of line, you need to pull back in place and in line, there is a bad habit across the nation with showmen continually bumping out in the ring. This is distracting and most judges do not need you to bury another animal to move up in class. When you do get pulled, move quickly and directly to the spot, once again this shows knowledge, awareness and confidence. At the end of a class while the judge is giving reasons, please be courteous and stop for a moment as your animal is critiqued, then move out. Another trend in the Midwest that is very distracting and annoying is coming up to the judge while they are giving their reason and attempting to shake their hand. Please be respectful and if you want to show your appreciation, come back in between classes or after the show.
I am back in the flow of writing articles and I have more of an observation than a true lesson for this month. I have had the privilege over the past 4 years to be able to judge livestock shows, more specifically beef shows throughout the United States. This would include the heart of the Midwest states like Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas, plus in the upper Midwest and the Southern states. I have always commented on the quality of cattle in each of these areas, but they are not much different than quality that we see here in California. The major differentiation between livestock shows in California and the other regions that I have previously mentioned is showmanship. I am sure that many of the best showmen in each species reside here in this state and I can’t say enough how much I appreciate that. It was always puzzling to me watching judges from the Midwest come to the California State Fair and struggle so much judging the showmanship competitons. I can easily understand, they do not see that many great showmen in one ring. I will concede that each state has a few good showmen but not the high numbers that we see here. I would like to offer some long overdue praise to all the young showmen here in the Golden State; you are definitely among the best in the country. From a judges perspective, it is so much nicer to be evaluating livestock when the animal is show to its best potential. I have asked kids in the major livestock states to please set up their animals feet so I don’t have to imagine how their steer or heifer would look. Recently I commented to the clerks at their state fair that it was embarrassing that not one kid could come close to setting their animal up in a decent fashion. Once again I applaud you for taking a personal pride in your project and raising that level of competition in the state. We just suffer from a paradigm that West Coast families are not at the same level nor are as involved in agriculture to the same extent as the Midwest. Time for that change, YOU are the best showmen in the nation and that includes all the species that we currently show here in California. Now I will give a basic lesson on showing cattle. This is so important for your beef project; a great showman can make an average animal look great. On the flip side of that, a poor showman can ruin a great one, not that the animal won’t be evaluated fairly or place well. The difference is that great showmen have that advantage when it’s down to the last look or crunch time that is when you and the animal have to be their best. Showmanship requires; skill, knowledge, awareness of the surroundings, control, look or presence and most of all confidence. It is very easy to spot someone walking into the ring and know they have the potential to be good or average just by their presence.
That’s the overview lesson for today, I want to conclude by encouraging you to continually try and improve each time in the ring. Go watch others that are good showmen, watch judges and see what always catches their eye. Get help from leaders and parents in ways to improve. You are part of the best group of showmen in the country so to succeed you will need lots of practice and determination.
Cattle showing is pretty basic if you break it down into simple
Good luck this winter wherever you show.

Is Alfalfa Enough for my Lactating Ewes? By Jed Asmus M.S., P.A.S.
your alfalfa contains? The most accurate way is to sample your hay and send it to a certified testing lab for analysis.
It’s fall, and that means that lambing is either upon you or shortly around the corner. As your ewe transitions from gestation to lactation, the demands on her body increase dramatically. The last trimester of gestation is the month and half that the lambs grow the most, but it’s not until she is responsible for feeding them with her milk that the deficiencies in her diet can drastically impact her performance and the lambs’ growth. So the question is: How do you feed her to ensure that she produces the maximum amount of milk to raise healthy lambs and ensure that she maintains her body mass, allowing her to re-breed early next year.
Table 2: Alfalfa Nutrient Specifications Nutrients
In California, we have an abundance of alfalfa. This year, unlike the last, the alfalfa is relatively cheap, allowing most producers to afford to feed it. If you plan to use alfalfa for the basis of your diet, you have to think about how well your alfalfa meets the demands of your ewe. Let’s start by defining the requirements of your lactating ewe.

Ok, you have your results and you can clearly see that your ration is not balanced so what do you do to correct the ration. Now you have to determine what your other feed options are and work on determining how much of various ingredients will enable you to feed a balanced diet. There are many ingredients available that complement alfalfa and can be easily obtained to balance your diet. If your diet is energy deficient (as the majority of alfalfa based diets are), then you can feed almond hulls, corn, barley, molasses or cottonseed to increase the energy content of your ration. Likewise, if you are protein deficient you can feed canola, soybeans, corn gluten or corn distillers to increase the protein content. In the end, there are many complementary ingredients available to use, however, the one you pick will be based upon availability, storage and cost.
Table 1: Nutrient Requirements of Lactating Ewe Diets. Units
Minimum
I got my hay test results, now what??
The first question is how much will she eat. If we assume she will eat 3-4% of her weight in feed each day, then a 200 lb ewe will eat between 6 and 8 lbs of feed per day. Using this range, we have to design a diet to meet all of her requirements and make it fit into a total of 6 – 8 lbs. The basic lactation diet has to meet some basic requirements, supplying enough fiber, energy, protein, carbohydrates and minerals to ensure production. The basic requirements of your diet are listed in Table 1.
Nutrients
Units
There are numerous ways to balance a ration, including ration software and by hand using the Peirson Square method. However, it is usually easier to talk with a nutritionist and have them help you. Your local extension agent most likely has experience in this area and is a great resource.
Take home message: The point of this article is to illustrate that lactating ewes have a requirement during milk production that is not met by simply feeding alfalfa or any other feedstuff by itself. It is the combination of many ingredients that enable producers to feed balanced diets and maximize production.
If you are using alfalfa as the sole source of nutrients in your diet, you would need to compare the nutrients in your forage to the requirements of your ewe to determine if your ration is balanced. Table 2 describes the nutrient ranges of alfalfa from thousands of samples. The point of Table 2 is to illustrate that not all alfalfa bales are created equal. So how do you determine what nutrients
Supreme Heifer Championship Highlights American Royal Livestock Show The highlight of the 2009 Junior Breeding Heifer Show took place on Sunday, November 1st. Judge Chris Mullinix, El Dorado, KS was charged with choosing one heifer out of the lineup of champions representing the best of all breeds at this years show. At stake was the $5,000 Stanley E.

We are truly excited about this boar, as not only does he pose a great pedigree — his sire was the 2008 NBS Hog College Yorkshire boar and his dam was sired by the 2007 NBS Hog College Yorkshire Boar — but he has the phenotype to go with it. In N Out is big footed and heavy boned but uniquely has a big square top and a ton of rib shape. We feel this sire is a great addition to our herd. Call for semen pricing and availability. In N Out will sire pigs that go IN the showring and walk OUT a winner!

There’s A Fungus Among Us:
RINGWORM: Part 2
HJ Hamlen, DVM, MS, DACVPM and C. Hinken, MS concern if treatment is undertaken is that the person may acquire the infection themselves through the frequent contact with the lesions! Steps should be taken to prevent this, such as wearing latex or rubber gloves and proper hand-washing.
Introduction In the last issue we discussed the fungal species that cause ringworm in a variety of animals (including people) and discussed the clinical signs and transmission of the infection. Let’s continue to learn about this important condition as we discuss diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
Most topical ringworm preparations on the market are labeled for use in dogs, cats, and horses not intended for food. FARAD (Food Animal Residue Avoidance Databank) states that “THERE IS NO RINGWORM TREATMENT APPROVED FOR THE TOPICAL USE IN FOOD PRODUCING Ringworm lesions on a dog. ANIMALS”. This means that a valid patient-clientveterinarian relationship must be established and that treatment decisions are “off-label”. Milk and meat withdrawal times should be determined for any treatment undertaken and the safety of the treatment in pregnant, lactating, or nursing animals should be considered. Many veterinarians will advise producers to use topical treatments including: chlorhexidine (diluted to 0.5 - 2%) marketed by Fort Dodge as Nolvasan‘, lime sulfur dips (2-5%), benzalkonium chloride (0.15%), and captan (3%). A 1:10 dilution of hypochlorite solution (Chlorox‘) is also effective but will corrode metal and stain clothing that it contacts. Tamed (providone) iodine (.05 -1%) is drying and antifungal but may stain. Many topical treatments have drawbacks such as staining fur or Ringworm commonly occurs on the face of cattle. wool, and irritating skin so test a treatment on a small area first. My personal preference is Foot Rot and Ringworm Spray (1.5% benzalkonium chloride) by Agrilabs.
Diagnosis Ringworm is often diagnosed by its appearance and location alone. Since there several species of fungi involved not every case looks the same. In order to get a definitive diagnosis, a veterinarian may perform one (and possibly more) of the following tests. • A Wood’s lamp can be used to shine ultraviolet light on the affected area. Many species of fungi will fluoresce (glow) a bright apple green color in the presence of the light. But not all fungi respond to the light and other non-fungal material (like dander and some topical medications) do. This is a quick and cost-effective screening tool. • A KOH (potassium hydroxide) test can be used to diagnose ringworm, but not all infections can be easily detected. Hair is pulled from the area surrounding the lesion and is placed on a microscope slide in a KOH solution. The solution makes the spores more visible under the microscope. • A DTM (Dermatophyte Test Medium) is a prepared culture kit. This is the only truly reliable way to diagnose ringworm. A sample of plucked hairs from the affected area is placed on the medium and left to grow at room temperature over a period of about ten days. If the fungal spores are present, the substance inside the medium changes from yellow to bright red. When a definitive diagnosis is needed, this is the recommended method.
Treatment Many times, ringworm resolves without treatment, as the animal mounts an immune response to the agent. This is evident by the Scratching your head about how to treat ring appearance of the ringworm in livestock? Wash your hands first because ringworm can spread to people. lesions – the inside is usually cleared of fungi by the animals immune system and most of the active fungi are at the periphery of the lesion. Resolution can take as little as 1 month or as long as 6 months, depending on the species, age, and stresses the animal is experiencing. Usually, the hair will grow back, however, there may be scarring especially if the animal has traumatized the area by scratching or if secondary infection has developed. Topical antifungal medications can reduce the severity of the condition and risk of spread to other animals. The real December 2009/January 2010
Regardless of you and your veterinarian decide, you must make sure that the topical treatment penetrates the affected area. Remember, the fungus is active at the outer edge of the lesion and progresses outward into healthy fur or wool. You must remove the wool or fur from an area around every lesion (a few inches in diameter) and use a soft nailbrush to thoroughly clean the skin, removing scabs or debris before applying a topical treatment. This will also help dry the skin 22

Prevention
and expose it to sunlight. Since fungal spores are microscopic it may not be effective to limit treatment to the lesions. You may need to spray, dip, or pour-on the topical treatment over the entire animal. The interval of treatment should also be discussed with your veterinarian – generally treatments should be daily for a period of time and then weekly, and continue past the point of resolution. Attention should be paid to decontaminating the environment, or, at the least, not making matters worse by contaminating the environment during treatment. Remember to sanitize your clippers (use Nolvasan‘ solution diluted for use on inanimate objects) and properly dispose of brushes, and contaminated debris! Make sure your veterinarian is involved in choosing the treatment and providing advice on prevention, nutritional management, and segregating affected animals from healthy ones. Your veterinarian may advise vitamin A and D injections to speed healing.
the
Ringworm is a contagious disease and animals with lesions will not be admitted to fairs or shows. Since there are no approved topical treatments for food producing animals, and “off-label” topical treatment is time-consuming with many drawbacks (such as stained fur and human exposure to the fungus), prevention is the goal. • Keeping animals’ living quarters clean and dry. Animals kept in dark, damp, warm, or poorly ventilated housing are more susceptible to ringworm. When possible use the disinfecting power of sun! • Animals coming into the herd or flock should be examined for lesions, held in isolation for 30 days and reexamined, and possibly screened by a veterinarian prior to entry. Animals returning from a show may inadvertently bring back ringworm. You and your veterinarian may elect to treat returning animals if the risk is high. You can do your part by never taking an affected animal to a show or fair. • As much as possible, do not keep animals in close confinement, especially in the winter months. • Equipment that will come in contact with multiple animals should be carefully cleaned disinfected after each use. Remember that disinfectants do not penetrate dirt and debris, and may be inactivated by organic matter – so clean first.

grew. There was no way we could back our twelve-foot stock trailer down that adobe clay hill and get close enough to the pig pen to load Pete’s blue-butt pig.
kathleen's
Korner
“So, how are we going to do this?” I asked, looking over the edge, trying to keep my voice upbeat. “No problem,” Pete’s dad said, shaking a bucket of feed. “Petunia’s a real chow hound. She’ll do anything for some pig pellets. I had Pete short her feed so she would be real eager.”
Yankee Ingenuity
“Come on, Petunia girl,” Pete’s dad shook the bucket . Petunia snuggled deeper into her straw and grunted contentedly.
by Kathleen Wood-Vieira
“What’s wrong with her? She should be famished by now. I hope she isn’t sick,” Pete’s dad said. A small, concerned frown crossed his face.
(Some names have been changed to protect the innocent and guilty alike.)
Pete shifted uncomfortably. Pete’s dad rattled the bucket again. Petunia rolled over and stretched her belly toward the rising sun.
Just after dawn on a chilly early spring morning, five members of the Pioneer 4-H Beef Group met on the final day of our getting-ready-for-the-big-show countdown. They had spent the days leading up to this one, brushing, walking, feeding and fitting their animals. They had practiced showmanship, learning the difference between a roughage and a concentrate and the inside and outside beef parts, just in case the judge asked them. They were ready for their big city debut.
“Pete?” his dad questioned. “Well, she was so hungry,” Pete said, “I fed her.” “You what,” we all asked at the same time. “She was hungry,” Pete repeated. “No problem,” Pete’s dad said, but I could see he thought like the rest of us. It was going to be a problem. “We’ll get her close, and push her in with the hog boards.” Petunia had other ideas. She’d had her breakfast, a big one Pete admitted, since she hadn’t had much the night before. She was ready for her morning nap and didn’t want to be disturbed. Pete drove her toward the trailer, but halfway, she broke and ran back to the pen. We repeated this exercise over and over.
The plan was for the steers and heifers to travel to the 1985 edition of Great Western Livestock Show held at the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds via the Twist Ranch’s two-ton cattle truck. A caravan of campers would follow filled with the kids and their parents. We had dropped off Katey’s and TR’s steers and heifer at the Twist Ranch and filled up the stock trailer with the club’s equipment, overhead displays, and straw, leaving one small spot for the last element of the show team.
“Wait, we’re getting nowhere,” I said. Then, thinking of the travel supplies I had stashed for the trip, I sprinted to the pick-up and returned with an armful of snacks.
The teenage girls drew the privilege of riding in the cattle truck. Katey and TR were going to stay at the ranch while we made the last pick-up and looped back to all gather together for the final leg of the journey.
We laid out a trail of Cheetos. She sniffed the first one and gulped it down, immediately looking for more. Slowly she inched her way up the hill. The rest of us followed armed with the hog boards.
All we needed to get on down the road was Pete’s pig.
“Come on, Petunia,” I said, placing one Cheeto on the edge of the trailer and tossing a handful inside.
Eleven-year-old Pete loved his pig. He spent more time brushing and playing tag with her than he did playing video games. He might forget to take out the trash, empty the dishwasher, or finish his homework, but his pig never went without food or water. The pen was raked clean twice a day and Pete made sure that there was always a pile of cozy, sweet-smelling barley straw in the corner.
Delicately she reached for the first one, munched it and keyed in on the rest, arching her body toward the open door. “Now!” Pete’s dad said. She was surrounded by hog boards, but with a surprised squeal, she spun and placing her snout under the middle board, tossed Pete’s dad backward down the hill. Bucking and barking, she ran straight back to her pen.
As we rounded the last curve, we could see Pete and his family waving enthusiastically. Their house sat on top of a small hill, surrounded by a few acres with a wide view of the valley below. The little ranchette was laid out nicely. A new pole barn sat to one side; a garage and a pool flanked the house with the pig pen, quite naturally, at the farthest point and downwind from the house. Pete’s mom made sure of this when she agreed to the pig project.
Red vines, Doritos, fudge-covered Oreo’s, we tried them all, but she never got close enough for us to ear and tail her in. It wasn’t going to happen. “I’m sorry,” I said. “We tried.”

December 2009/January 2010
By Terry L. Burks
fat does improve a goats dressing percentage. Clear as mud? Let’s try this. Heavy muscled goats have a higher dressing percentage than light muscled goats, fat goats have a higher dressing percentage than lean goats and heavy muscled, fat goats really have a high dressing percentage. So is a high dressing percentage always a good thing? This fat thing seems to really confuse the matter. All fat, on a goat’s body, plays a role in changing dressing percentage. The fat areas we need to address are backfat (external fat), seam fat (the fat around and between the muscles) and internal fat (KPH fat). KPH refers to the fat that develops around the Kidneys, inside the Pelvic area and around the Heart. When looking at a carcass hanging on the rail, KPH fat is the fat that is deposited around the pelvis and then extends down through the body of the carcass. (See photo) Since we know that goats fatten from the inside out, KPH fat can have a dramatic and devastating effect on carcass value by actually reducing the percentage of lean edible product. KPH fat levels on a lean (0.1” backfat or less) market ready goat are in the range of 1 to 2 percent. In my research on goat carcasses, we found that when a goat exceeds 0.1 inches (one tenth of an inch) of backfat, that KPH fat levels begin to increase rapidly and can reach as high as 10 to 15 percent.
In my travels over the last few years, it has become increasingly clear that the area of our industry in which we are the weakest is carcass evaluation. (The most important area!) Dressing percentage, yield grade, quality grade, selection grade, KPH, etc.--all these terms seem to be a foreign language with respect to our “show” industry and that is very unfortunate. The next series of articles will address many of these carcass issues with respect to our industry and hopefully will shed some light on how and why some judges place your animals differently than others. Most goat carcasses in the United States are marketed very differently than meat from other species. Rather than selling goat meat (chevon) in cuts, most goat is sold as whole, half or quarter carcasses (wholesale cuts). This system is primarily due to the limited amount of edible product on a goat carcass and because of the usual methods of preparing chevon for consumption. Occasionally a consumer can find some retail cuts of chevon in select/specialty groceries, but this is the exception rather than the rule. Because of this unique marketing system, one of the most important carcass measures we need to understand is dressing percentage.
Since dressing percentage is a comparison of carcass weight to live weight, we need to look at how we alter the live weight variable. We could harvest goats at a much lighter weight, but because a goat’s dressing percentage increases as they get heavier due to both increased muscle mass and fat deposition, the trade-off does not achieve our desired results. The live-weight effect on dressing percentage is an issue more directly related to reducing the weight of the “throw-away” portion of the goat’s body. Obviously, the less middle or “gut-fill” a goat has, the less negative effect there is on carcass yield. Extremely heavy middle goats will simply have more throw away even though they may yield higher due to increased internal fat levels. More specifically, if a goat drinks a gallon of water prior to weighing before harvest that 100 lb. goat now weighs 108 lbs. Since his 40 lb. carcass weight will not change, his dressing percentage will now drop from 40% to 37%. Although this sounds rather minor, a drop of that percentage is significant on a goat carcass.
Dressing percentage is simply the ratio or percentage of carcass weight to live weight. Carcass weight is the weight of the carcass after harvesting the animal. This means the removal of the hide, head, internal organs (except the kidneys), blood and the legs below the knees and hocks. In other words, carcass weight is the weight of the muscle, bone and fat after everything else is removed. Another name for dressing percentage is yield. However, this should not be confused with yield grade. Yield grade is actually an irrelevant term with respect to the goat industry because we do not calculate yield grades on goats like we do cattle and sheep. Yield grade is a calculation using live weight, carcass weight, backfat, KPH fat and loin-eye area and gives an animal a numerical score ranging from 1 to 5. True, some places will attempt to calculate yield grades on goats, but they are typically using the sheep yield grade formula or an altered formula, neither of which are industry accepted in the goat world. Dressing percentage or yield in goats is expressed as a percentage. In other words, if a 100 lb. goat has a 40 lb. carcass then that goat’s dressing percentage would be 40% or if an 80 lb. goat has a 35 lb. carcass then that goat has a dressing percentage of 43.75%. This does not mean that my 100 lb. goat will have 40 lbs of edible product—remember, bone and external and internal fat are still part of that carcass weight at this point.
One of the “hot-button” areas being discussed today in the showring is that of bone mass. True, a kid that possesses extra bone has a nicer look in the ring and thus has the advantage visually. Additionally, there appears to be a correlation in most all species between bone mass and heavier muscled carcasses. (There are a few exceptions). However when we carcass these animals, we find that there is less than a 1% difference in total bone weight when comparing extremely heavy boned animals with very frail boned animals. Here is the real issue—a fat 100 lb. wether dresses 48%, we now lose 10-15% for KPH fat, we lose another 5-6 % for bone and then lose another 5-7% for seam and external fat. We are not left with a lot of edible product for the consumer. This is the reason that chevon price is so expensive compared to the price we receive when selling live goats at the market. So what is the right answer? Yes, we want to have high dressing percentages. However, we need to realize that as animals fatten we are also increasing dressing percentage with what will ultimately be trimmed off and thrown away! The less throw-away an animal has the greater the opportunity for that animal to have an increased yield of edible product. Ideally, we need to develop extremely heavy muscled, lean animals that will excel in TRUE yield and will have a limited amount of trim loss.
Most goats will have a dressing percentage of 40 to 50 percent. Ultimately these percentages are affected by muscle, fat and other factors such as gut fill, pregnancy status, etc. When evaluating these factors muscling has the greatest effect on dressing percentage. The heavier muscled that a goat is the higher his dressing percentage. Thus the advantage goes to the heavier muscled animals because of its positive effect on yield. Fat on the other hand also positively affects dressing percentage. As an animal gets fatter, dressing percentage still gets higher. Remember, fat stays on the carcass for this calculation! Although we do NOT want fat goats, December 2009/January 2010
More next time.

Conclusion
Continued from page 23 thoroughly clean all items with which the infected animal has had contact.
Ringworm occurs in all species of mammals, including man. It is a public health concern because it is zoonotic and can be passed from animals to humans and back again. Animals are screened prior to entry to any event and will be banned from exhibition, based on show or fair regulations, if ringworm is suspected. Ringworm is self-limiting without treatment, but without treatment, isolation of affected animals, and disinfection of objects that may harbor the spores, the infection is more likely to spread.
• Adequate nutrition and access to clean water are important. Ethylenediamine dihydroiodide (EDDI) is a pet and livestock organic food additive to prevent iodine deficiency that may increase resistance to foot rot and ringworm. Make sure that your ration is balanced for both macro- and micronutrients including iodine. • Seek medical treatment for sick animals and tend to scratches, sores and open wounds that are ideal for the spread of ringworm. Eliminate items on the property that could potentially cause injury.
Remember, prevention is preferred to treatment. Keep things clean and watch for signs of ringworm. Early detection, isolation, and treatment may prevent an outbreak of ringworm in your herd or flock, and knowledge about the condition will help you avoid contracting it from your animals.
• Do not disrupt the normal skin bacteria by bathing show animals too frequently. Stripping the lanolin or waxy oils from healthy skin may predispose your animal to ringworm.

Show off your animal's good health with natural feed alternatives to specify and quantify the benefits of Bio-Mos in human health care.
For the prize-winning owner, showing animals is more than just selecting the right pig or the careful grooming of a lamb. It takes preparation, attention to detail, and the endurance to compete.
The old adage “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” may soon be replaced with “a candy bar a day.” Once considered just an after-dinner treat, dark chocolate is now thought to be a healthy supplement to the diet — and it’s all because of antioxidants. Antioxidants are molecules that slow or prevent the oxidation of chemicals. Recent studies have shown that the molecules can be helpful in maintaining health and preventing disease. But dark chocolate is not the only source of antioxidants for humans.
But the business of showing animals is not just about the animal’s performance though. Busy show schedules, continuous travel and intense management can be stressful to the animal and the owner. To be competitive in the ring, owners must also watch over their own health and nutrition. Humans, just like livestock, need to keep up their immune system in order to fight off diseases and remain strong in and out of the ring. But it’s not always an easy task to try to stay healthy as illness and flu can creep up on us during travel and our daily diets can lack essential vitamins and minerals.
Selenium is a trace element found in varying quantities in soil. Regional variations are reflected in the amount of selenium in plants, including cereal crops. These variations are in turn reflected in the selenium content of animal and vegetable products in human foods and consequently have a significant impact on the amount of selenium in the human diet. Low selenium content in human foods is becoming a health issue in many parts of the world. The average intake of selenium is now less than a third of the level in the average American.
While livestock owners have added all-natural feed additives to their feedstuffs for many years, humans are now beginning to reconsider their own diets and the important components they are missing. Research has supported the increased use of all-natural feed additives such as Bio-Mos® and Sel-Plex® from Alltech to help support the health and well being of swine, sheep, goats, and steers. And now research is underway on how these two products can assist in the health of humans.
Selenium is essential for the antioxidant protection of cells and membranes, thyroid hormone metabolism, disease resistance and vaccine response. Research studies on selenium have also linked low selenium intake with the incidence of heart and cellular diseases. Recent studies suggest that good selenium status in humans may lower the risk of some forms of cancer and may boost immune status. Studies with selenium for treatment of psoriasis, arthritis and muscular degeneration are ongoing.
For over 15 years, Bio-Mos has been the brand that offers healthy gastrointestinal (GI) protection, performing every time, for animal health. Alltech has produced a food grade Bio-Mos and has created tablets for human consumption. The way you feel affects your energy level and the way you perform everyday activities. Children, older people, business and leisure travelers and those with common cold or a more serious illness notice this more. The average person can also be run down by the challenges of modern life.
Sel-Plex , a natural form of selenium-enriched yeast and natural feed additive for today’s animals, is also available for human consumption. Time after time, livestock owners have turned to Sel-Plex for their source of organic selenium for their animals. Now they are turning to the product for themselves. As research continues on the human side, Sel-Plex offers you and your animals’ security as the only FDA reviewed and EU approved organic selenium with over 13 years of academic and field research.
Environments, common and new, can expose you to harmful organisms, such as pathogenic bacteria that are invisible to the eye. Such organisms cause GI discomfort, adversely affecting your health and energy levels. Supplementing your diet with natural Bio-Mos helps to maintain GI balance. During a recent study in India, researchers found that Bio-Mos may be effective in treating GI disturbances. The study also suggested Bio-Mos may be beneficial in promoting better GI health, but further research needs to be done december 2009/january 2010

Going, Going, Going
Natural!
Delivering natural performance used to seem like an auction. Everyone had something to sell and the price kept going up. Traditionally, natural was synonymous with expensive and unreliable. Well, not anymore. Investing millions of dollars in research - at 75 universities and institutes in 2006 alone - Alltech has proven that natural can mean better, reliable and cost-effective, consistently. In fact, our research team has achieved 160 funded university and research institute trials and received over $3 Million in grant support globally. As the world goes natural, it is understandable why the feed industry is turning towards Alltech. Today 24 out of the top 25 feed companies of the world have concluded that Alltech is the partner of choice when it comes to achieving natural performance. Go with the leaders.
It’s simple. Alltech knows natural. Call Alltech for your free guide to natural animal production.

Continued from page 26 “I guess someone learned a lesson, today,” he said, looking at Pete. In our rearview mirror, I saw Pete’s disappointed face as we drove away. I felt so sorry for him. We reached the show grounds without incident, surfing through the big city traffic like pros. The steers and heifers bedded down nicely, and by the next day were used to the noise and crowds. We had plenty of time before the final call for weigh-in, so I gathered the show team and we hit the wash racks.

From there, I had a great view of the last of the exhibitors straggling in. I saw a familiar truck pulling slowly alongside the barns. It was Pete’s dad with Pete beaming from the passenger’s side of the cab. A crabby Petunia grunted from a makeshift cage in the pick-up bed.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
The boards still had that fresh piney smell and the nails were bright and shiny. “I sort of built it around her,” Pete’s dad explained. And if to answer my next question he continued, proudly, “I winched her up the hill and into the truck.”

We all crowded around the scale while the weigh master poked the counter weight back and forth. The beam swung slowly up and down, finally settling on a number. “Two hundred sixty . . .” he announced, “. . . one pounds.”

One pound over the top weight limit! All that Yankee ingenuity was for naught. They got her to the show, but for the one pound, she had to go home again.

But, in looking back, it was probably the best thing for Petunia. She lived a long and happy life producing brood after brood of blue-butted Cheeto loving piglets.
