the SMART

Another livestock industry first from Sullivan’s ... the Innovative Leader.

SENSATION

by Sullivan’s

Brush™

The Smart Sensation like no other.

Healthy for hide and hair, the Smart Sensation gently massages the hide to stimulate blood flow that releases the natural oils from the skin to coat the hair and promote healthy hair growth.

With the 129 precisely placed ball-tipped teeth, you can actually see the Smart Sensation brush create hair separation off the skin allowing air to flow deep into the hair base for added hair stimulation and hair growth.

The advantage of the Smart Sensation is how it amplifies the volume of the hair as it lifts up from the hide without causing curls, kinks or matting that are often associated with rice root or massage brushes.

The Smart Sensation is similar to human vent hair brushes but has been designed with the proper size for show cattle and a more comfortable handle application.

Cattle love the feel of the stimulating Smart Sensation!

Patent pending.

from the

editor

I know I often talk of how time flies, like that space of time from January 1st until Valentines Day or Easter or Mothers Day or Fathers Day. The first part of the year is marked by holidays and then all of a sudden, school is out, its’ summer and then we start thinking about what is ahead. Think of it this way – today is June 25th – that means it is 6 months until Christmas! With this issue, the cattle people start advertising and that means fall is just around the corner. Wow! Time really doesn’t stand still – the cycle is a circle that doesn’t end. Another sign of the season, or time of year, is that with school being out, kids are busy preparing for their county fairs, or they have already had their fair and are now “hunkering down” for the big push to get ready for their big state fair!

Sportsmanship and Competition – these two words represent two significant parts of any show. “Sportsmanship” shows what kind of person you are; and “Competition” will be a part of all you do, whether it be in a show ring or in the ring of life. Sportsmanship and Competition complement each other. To be a true competitor, you must be a good sportsman. I believe that the only way to be satisfied with your competitive side, is to be true to your good sportsman side. By combining these two in a positive way, you will excel at your goals and be a better person in all areas of your life.

In this issue, I highlight the Graduates of the year! I can’t believe how many kids I have watched go through their show career, and how many have gone on to excel in their college and career years.

I totally believe that kids who work with and are responsible for animals, make a better, more well rounded, person. Through 4-H and FFA activities and all the projects they take on, they learn to push themselves and achieve what they go after. It’s a little hard for me to look at the pictures in this section because that means these young people are moving on and I will probably not see them as often as they pursue new avenues of their life. At least with all the media options available now, we get to keep in touch that way. I do want to wish all graduates good luck in all you set out to achieve, and that you will be happy and successful in your future endeavors.

We are always in your corner – rooting for your success!

Professional Resharpening Customer Reviews…

Our fair was almost on us before I realized that I needed to have our clipper blades sharpened.

I shipped 3 sets of blades from San Luis Obispo, CA on Tuesday. I sent them UPS and they took a week to get to Premier. Premier sharpened them & had them shipped Priority Mail the same day. The package was in my mailbox on Friday morning. As usual Premier’s turnaround time and work was exceptional.

—Bill R., CA

See more reviews on our website.

Precision finish, superior service and rapid turnaround When most of us need sharp blades and combs, we needed it “yesterday.”

That’s why Premier offers 24-hour turnaround for blades, combs and cutters. (Still best to allow an extra day in the hectic summer months.)

We sharpen the following: Small clipper blade sets

Clippers and shears…

Large clipper blade sets

Combs & Cutters

How good is our service?

We resharpen over 40,000 blades, combs and cutters a year—so thousands of customers have learned to trust us.

We’re not perfect—but we get them right 99% of the time.

Return freight—a flat rate

The Premier 4000c clipper & 4000s shearing machine are quiet, cooler, easy to hold and maneuver. They are also convenient because the motors run either the clipping or shearing heads. Both include a unique 3-year warranty.

Blade sets and combs & cutters…

Clipping blade sets, combs & cutters are at lower prices compared to others, are made of quality steel and fit multiple units.

Free shipping…

Receive free shipping on qualified internet orders over $100. See our website for details.

Any number of blades, combs and cutters are sent via ground service for a flat rate of $7 for packages up to 4.5 lbs and $10 if they weigh more than 4.5 lbs.

Scan with your mobile device and go directly to our resharpening web page.

Ground Beef -

A valuable part of a Beef animal

By Dr. Bob Delmore, Cal Poly State University – San Luis Obispo and Lynn Delmore, Delmore Consulting

As an industry, we often focus on the importance of the most popular cuts of meat, paying significant attention to the delicious steaks and hearty roasts. However, many discussions forget about the true value of ground beef. In 2011, ground beef sales were over 11.7 billion pounds.

Ground beef distribution is split almost equally between retail sales and the food service industry. Retail sales refer to ground beef sold at a grocery store, market or club store; anywhere a consumer buys the product to consume at home. While food service includes hotels, restaurants, quick service restaurants (aka “fast food”), and institutional foods which is anywhere people live or stay that prepare their food for them, for example hospitals, schools and prisons.

Ground Beef is produced from beef trimmings. Trimmings are the pieces of meat that are trimmed from the carcass during the manufacture of steaks and roasts. Beef trimmings come from all different primal parts of a carcass, although a large portion of trimmings come from the Round and Chuck. The muscles that make up the Round and Chuck are often called “muscles of locomotion”, those muscles that are used in walking and running. As a rule, the more activity a muscle gets, the tougher that muscle is. Another factor that affects meat tenderness is the age of the animal. Older animals, cull cows and bulls have less tender meat than young fed steers and heifers. A fed steer or heifer typically yields 170-190 lbs. of trim for grinding, while a non-fed

animal generally yields 350-450 lbs. of trim. This is due to the desirability of a higher percentage of steaks and roasts from the fed animals. A larger portion of a cull animal carcass, both from beef and dairy sources, are used in the production of ground beef. Ultimately, ground beef is made up of trimmings from 60 % fed steers and heifers, 25% nonfed animals and 15% import beef.

Beef trimmings are sold based on the percent lean called “lean point”. The leaner the product, the more it is worth.

Trimmings generated from a fed steer or heifer average 170-190 lbs. per head with the following make of trimmings: 90% lean = 10 lbs.

80% lean = 40 lbs.

50% lean = 40 lbs.

30% lean = 80-100 lbs.

Nearly all trimmings generated from a non-fed animal average between 90% and 80% lean. Imported trimmings tend to be 90% lean.

The 30% lean trimming are often processed to separate the fat from the lean portion. This is accomplished by heating the trimmings to ~100°F which melts the fat portion, followed by centrifugation to spin off the fat portion leaving only the lean portion. The lean can be treated with an antimicrobial process, then frozen and pelleted. These trim-

mings now range from 95-97% lean and are used as any other beef trimmings. These trimmings are commonly called Lean Finely Textured Beef (LFTB) or Finely Textured Beef (FTB). This process converts the 80 – 100 lbs. of 30% lean trimmings from a fed steer or heifer to approximately 30 lbs. of 95-97% lean LFTB/ FTB. LFTB and FTB have recently been misrepresented by a celebrity chef and some news media as “Pink Slime”. The process of upgrading trimmings to LFTB/FTB has been done for the past 20 years. LFTB/FTB is a safe wholesome product that is chemically and nutritionally the same as all other beef trimmings. It is simply leaner and has a finer texture due to the separation process. The process that produces LFTB/FTB, and other such technologies, are implemented by the meat industry to make meat safe and affordable for consumers.

Typically, meat animals are harvested under the oversight of the Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Likewise, all products, including the production of ground beef, are produced under USDA-FSIS inspection. No matter what the source of the raw material, Ground Beef is a safe and wholesome staple in the American diet.

"Sittin' Round the Showbox"

with Celeste Settrini

I had come to love. I wanted to be the best Agriculture Advocate I could possibly be! I wanted fellow social media friends to look to me for assistance, to be a resource for them. I wanted to be the first one to post an interesting story or comment when our livelihood was viewed in ill light.

Just a Farmer’s Daughter

And then one day I thought to myself ~ Why? This is not a competition. Who am I? I loved my community of farmer’s and ranchers more than anything and wanted to know what was the best way to represent them, I realized it was quite simple – by being ME , being who I am – a farmer’s daughter. I wanted to continue to be a resource for fellow farmers and ranchers because I believe it is my moral obligation to share my story not only to represent my family farm but for those that might not feel comfortable expressing their thoughts. I needed to listen to them, understand and share. I needed to reach out to consumers whenever I could, to engage in conversations, share my stories of farm life and why we do what we do because I have learned through my adventures in social media that people don’t buy into what you do but why you do it . I am eager to celebrate not only what I do but what my fellow farmers and ranchers do too, encouraging others to do the same.

Every so often I get asked to “guest blog” for some of my colleagues involved in agriculture. I had the opportunity not too long ago and I got such a nice response from followers that I thought it would make a good column for “Sitting Round the Showbox.” So lets go ~~~ I can’t remember a time growing up when our old ranch house did not have a baby calf on the back porch, a little lamb in the bathtub, stray kittens in the washroom or baby chicks under a heat lamp in the living room. Of course this was not all at once but it was a common occurrence. That’s just what happened when you lived on a farm, right? And being a farmer’s daughter I was there right alongside my dad nursing them back to health and finding a place for them in the world of our farm – A farmer’s daughter ~ nothing I loved more!

So what is my point? Am I an agriculture AGvocate or not? Do I need a title to describe the work I do for American Agriculture? I used to think so but as of late I have come to the conclusion that I am just ok being a farmer’s daughter. For I learned about being the best representative for our industry that I could be through all of those baby calves and chickens and kitty catsI learned that:

As I grew up, I was proud to have the title of 4-H chapter president, National Junior Hereford Association director, College Ag Ambassador, and as time went on Marketing Manager of the company for which I worked, and State president for California Women for Agriculture. I strived to do my best in all that I did, making many friends along the way and leading as best I could trying to live up to the titles I was so very blessed and honored with.

life is not always fair – sometimes as much as I took care of an animal it died, life happens and so does death

being a team player is important- I needed to work with dad to get the job done

key to success is people not information - everything is not in a book it is gained through experience

I have gained grace through the blessings God has given me

As I started my journey in social media, I again wanted to do my best, to share the story of my family farm, to engage in conversations with consumers, to build the bridge and assist in connecting the dots with those that might have questions about the industry

follow your heart and intuition in all that you do, especially when explaining to others what you do in farming

I wish these were my words but they are from Oprah Winfrey and I read them awhile back and have kept them close because I believe they help me in sharing my ag journey with others and I believe that they can help each and every one of you. We all have a message, a story to tell.

"I believe that each of us has an essence, a quality at the very core of our being that makes us who we are. It is what guides our thoughts, our feelings, our tastes; it sets us apart from everybody else. I believe that finding ways to express that essence is one of the greatest joys in life. What else is as satisfying as leaving your mark on something and making it your own."

So as we all struggle to find our place in telling our agriculture story I think it is important to just BE – be You – and don’t try so darn hard, for you have lived it and no one can take your stories and experiences away from you.

THE ffa in your state California Association Report

By Tyler Menane, State FFA Reporter

experience continue to prove valuable both as officers and in our personal lives.

The California Association, FFA, composed of over 71,000 students, focuses on agriculture education based on a three-ring model of classroom/laboratory experience, FFA, and Supervised Agriculture Experience (SAE). At our annual State FFA Leadership Conference in April, with more than 4,000 members in attendance, the Association, elected six state officers to serve the members of the association.

Although we have many goals we plan to accomplish this year, one of the primary goals is to achieve state unity. Just like the agriculture industry, or own organization is very diverse. From our membership to the member’s interest we all have our own differences and outlooks, but we all have at least one common interest; FFA. Through the interests we have in common we are able to unite as one group of people made up of athletes, academics, artists, and even livestock exhibitors.

Since then we, the 2012-2013 state officer team, have actively been preparing for our year of service. Our team consisting of President Hannah Garrett, Vice President Leah Gibson, Secretary Kelcie Jones, Treasurer Jason Mendes, Reporter Tyler Menane, and Sentinel Kyle Rohrmann moved into the FFA Center this June.

Overall, we are each very excited to spend the year traveling the state learning from you and serving as your state FFA officer team.

While each of greatly benefitted from the classroom and leadership aspects of FFA, all our SAE experiences focused on exhibiting livestock at various county fairs and shows throughout California.

In the fourth grade, Hannah, a member of the Galt FFA Chapter, began showing market lambs at the Sacramento County Fair. .

In the sixth grade, Leah began showing market hogs in the sixth grade and upon becoming a member of the Paso Robles FFA Chapter she began showing market lambs at the Mid State Fair. Kelcie was eight years old when she began showing market hogs. Her interest broadened when she became a member of the BakersfieldFrontier FFA Chapter and started showing at the Kern County Fair, California State Fair, and even at the World Pork Expo. Jason too began exhibiting livestock when he was eight years old and continued when he became a member of the Modesto FFA Chapter.

He showed market hogs and steers at the Stanislaus County Fair, California State Fair, and Cow Palace. In the sixth grade Tyler started showing market hogs and lambs for the Santa Barbara County Fair. He then went on to show market hogs and breeding gilts when he became a member of the Nipomo FFA Chapter. Kyle began his freshman year in 2008 showing market lambs and cattle at jackpots and the Fresno Fair. He even was a part of the FresnoCentral FFA Steer Team. Each of us has enjoyed working with livestock throughout the years and the skills we gained from that

THE ffa in your state California FFA Achieves Success, Fundraising through License Plate Program

By Katie Otto, California Association, FFA

counts. The plate will also appear on DMV order forms and online registration. The California FFA would like to thank everyone who helped secure the future of agricultural education through their purchase of a California Agriculture License Plate.

“I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words but of deeds…., “ those words, as written by E.M. Tiffany serve as the official FFA Creed and are taught to every freshmen enrolled in an introduction to ag course and demonstrated on posters in countless classrooms. Despite being eighty years old, the FFA Creed still holds true today as the agriculture community has proven once again their deeds will make our future brighter.

In early April, after a final push the California FFA delivered nearly 5,000 pledges for agriculture license plates to the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), putting their total count to just over 8,300. The campaign, which kicked-off in 2010 focused on getting plates on the road with the goal of having those funds support future generations of farmers and ranchers through agriculture education, career awareness, career training and youth leadership programs.

Proceeds generated through plate renewal fees will be awarded to agriculture education groups to continue supporting youth education.

Based on information from CDFA, funding for educational programs should become available in July 2013.

The California FFA believes the plates will play a vital role in the future of agriculture education and promoted the plates at the chapter level where members hosted plate for plate dinners, led 100 plates in 100 days campaigns and conducted radio and television interviews among other events, encouraging the community to support the future of agriculture education. The California FFA also hosted booths at the World Ag Expo, dozens of county fairs, countless industry events and were fortunate to be ringside at the 2011 California State Fair.

In addition, industry publications included articles encouraging their members to purchase a plate in support of agriculture education.

“Without a doubt getting agriculture license plates on the road was a priority for our members and the agriculture community. FFA members demonstrate to us every day the value of agriculture education and the agriculture license plate will definitely play a role in ensuring its future,” commented Bob Heuvel, State FFA Advisor.

It is anticipated plates will be hitting the road by the end of this year.

Nothing sweeter than the sound of a simple

Thank You!

Thank You ~ expressing one's gratitude, appreciation, gratefulness!

By Celeste Settrini

Growing up I was blessed with a grandma who taught me the importance of the thank you note. I remember writing thank you notes for everything. Birthdays, Christmas gifts and special treats throughout the year. She taught me that the thank you note came from the heart. It did not need to be on fancy paper or written in an expensive card but nonetheless it needed to come from inside of me.

I never forgot that and to this day I still enjoy writing thank you notes and receiving them for that matter. When it came time for me to write a thank you note after my steers were purchased at the county fair it was second nature that it was part of the entire process and that is what I am hoping it is for you as well and if not, well, we are going to get you on the path to make it a part of your project. So here we go!

A thank you is the ultimate gift, no matter how it is expressed.

It becomes a memory stored forever. Through your 4-H and FFA programs, you have many unique opportunities to express your thanks to donors, volunteers, parents, school administrators and buyers of market projects. How you choose to thank these folks is just one more piece to your project checklist. I found some great dos and don’ts for writing thank you notes and thought they were worth the share:

Match the thank you with the gesture Be timely, the sooner the better Be specific with your thanks Add a personal touch, make it YOU Be creative, and you don’t need a lot of money, think outside the box

DO NOT: •

• • •

Spend a lot of money to get creative, use your imagination - its not necessary, you don’t need to spend a lot to make an impact Neglect the importance of the thank you - make it a priority not a second thought Write the same note to common groups, everyone should be acknowledged personally Use the same note year after year - mix it up a bit

A plant with a packet of seeds “You have helped plant the seed of success”

•

Dried apricots dipped in chocolate and tied with a pretty ribbon – got this great idea from my goddaughter – Miss T – I wanted to buy her steer just to get the apricot treat!

•

Collection of recipes from your club or chapter put together in a three ring recipe book

•

Gift basket of yummy treats, beef jerky, nuts, cookies etc – on sale day it gets to be a long day so nice to have some snacks at the buyers fingertips

•

A donation made in honor of your buyer or sponsor to the Fair Heritage Foundation

•

Opening, is it to one person, a couple, entire family, a business - make sure you know

•

Who is doing the thanking? Just you, your club or chapter?

You should thank on behalf of everyone if you are doing the thanking for the group

•

Mention something noteworthy, detail oriented, recreate the experience

•

Make a remark of the thoughtfulness of the donor or buyer

•

Personalize! Lots of great computer programs where you can insert photos and create graphics to make note cards all your own. They are fun and showcase all YOU! Simple yet makes an impact.

A thank you note makes quite an impression and is possibly what might make or break a donor or buyer from donating or buying in the future. So I would suggest you take the time to purchase or create some nice stationary or note cards and invest the time to put your thoughts on paper to express your gratitude for their contribution.

(A special thank you to the 4-H website for assisting me with some of these great tips and thoughts.)

Korner Passing the Torch

By Kathleen Wood Vieira

We had been practicing in the empty dirt corn patch for the past few weeks, taking turns being the “judge,” trying to get a show ring perspective. Emily is eight and Violette is six, too young for the fair, but enthusiastic about their Mid-State Dairy Goat debut. Emily was entered in showmanship and the Recorded Grade class with little Sweet Pea; Violette would pilot Calico while I led Celeste in the same Alpine junior kid class. Nanna (that would be me) was determined that this was going to be a positive experience for the girls.

Emily and another. Apprehension clouded Emily’s face as she waited to enter the ring.

Judging that day was Scott Bice, a member of a very famous and successful family owned dairy goat farm. Dressed in a crisp blue shirt and neatly knotted tie, hands in his pockets, he watched the juniors enter the ring. He stopped them head to tail and worked his way down the line, talking to each exhibitor.

I knew he was asking those “showmanship questions” to which Emily would probably only know one, the breed of her goat. My heart was pounding. He knelt down in front of Emily, said hello and shook her hand. Emily managed a small smile and I saw her relax a bit.

Like all grandparents, I had been given a great gift with the birth of each grandchild and also presented with a solemn obligation to pass the torch along.

Our family has been engaged in agriculture for countless generations, starting in both Germany and Portugal, bringing the love of land and animals with them to the United States. It is my hope that the girls will continue, even if they take other paths later in life, to always remember their roots and use the skills they learn in the barn and show ring for later successes in life.

The first question was asked and I read her lips, “Alpine.” To the other two questions, she shook her head, her braids swaying. She still smiled.

Emily showed pretty well for a first-timer, for the most part, remembering to keep eye contact, keep out of the line of sight and only went around the back of Sweet Pea, once. She successfully showed a rowdy LaMancha during the goat switch exercise and wasn’t last in the class.

Partnering with their mom, we set our goat show goals: keep your eye on the judge, keep your animal between you and the judge and when changing sides, never step around the back. Keep it simple for the first time and let them get a feel for the ring.

With the showmanship class under our belts, it promised to be a long day. Both girls and me would show late in the afternoon, perhaps even far into the evening. In between, I would show three milkers, help in the cook shack and sell raffle tickets to raise money for the committee who put on the show. I wouldn’t have much time to entertain the girls. I worried a bit that they might get bored or engaged in a knock down sister fight.

Emily’s Sweet Pea is a pretty little thing, smooth shoulders, level rump, straight back, sharp and clean, a potential dairy goat in a very little package. She was one of a set of twins and half the size of her brother. At first, the doe seemed to accept her, but by day two, Mamma decided the little thing was a danger to the herd and was slamming her hard against the fence. The Paso Robles FFA goat enterprise team wisely decided to take her to safety.

They spent the wait time meeting new friends, showing off their own goats and running up a tab at the cook shack, but they were all business when the Junior Alpine Doe kid class was called. The sun was setting as Violette and I stood waiting side by side. Emily ran the brush down their sides one last time and we entered the ring. Violette answered, “March 25th” when the judge asked Calico’s birthday, she stayed to the outside of the ring, and kept her eye on the judge. I was pretty proud. We were head to tail when I heard, “Ow, she bit me!”

The grand girls were here the windy March weekend, when she arrived. They delighted in feeding her and enjoyed racing around the living room, Sweet Pea bouncing along in her newborn Pampers.

Now, two months later, the grand girls had clipped their little goats and helped me clip the mature ones (They both happily sing with the Premiers humming in their little hands). We had the show shirts imprinted, the goats washed, and the trailer packed. We were ready!

Sure enough, I could see the mark on her thumb. It was way past her bottle time and Calico was a bit desperate. Tears began to well up in Violette’s eyes.

The junior showmanship class was for eight to thirteen year-olds, quite an age spread. Most of the class was at the upper age limit with two younger girls,

“Violette, you can’t cry in the ring!” I whispered. And knowing my no-nonsense granddaughter, added, “You can’t smack her either!”

She pulled it together and finished the class, besting my goat.

Whatever the Show......

It was nearly dark when they called the Recorded Grade class. Violette and I were showing in the second ring, but I could see Emily and Sweet Pea in the first ring. Sweet Pea was pretty but oh-so-small and I could see she and Emily would bring up the rear on this one. We had prepared her for this moment, explaining that being the last was a definite possibility, but I could see the disappointment on her face.

Jackpot, County, State, Regional or National We have you covered!

She did have one more chance. The second ring was being judged by another veteran dairy goat judge, Amy Akramoff, and maybe Sweet Pea’s style would appeal to her. Close to 9 pm, Emily and Sweet Pea showed for the last time that day. This time she moved to the middle of the class, placing fifth. Emily’s smile light up the night.

Save Our Fairs!

By Jim Vietheer

we showcase our youth doing good honest hard work and being rewarded by that commitment? As adults where will we go to see many of our friends that we may only see once or twice a year but guaranteed to see at the fair?

Hope your summer is going well. Because I volunteered to write this month it is now duty. I have chosen to write about something that is near and dear to my heart and my life. It is more relevant here in California than in other areas covered by this publication but could be headed your way too!

Many of us support our local Junior Livestock Auctions which the money goes directly to the youth which is awesome and generous on our part, however without also supporting your fair directly, however they have chosen do so, be it thru donations to a foundation, sponsorships or other vehicles to garner funds, without those private and cooperate funds your fair could go away taking all those things associated with it. Remember, because you or your child or your grandchildren are showing does not mean it is your god given rite to have passes to fair. Everyone who receives a pass or free parking costs the fair money, money that could be added to their bottom line so don’t be too angry when you are asked to pay or if you are paying, asked to pay more.

It is fairs in our state (a term used loosely due to political climate here). Many of you know that fair funding by the State of California has been removed, leaving many fairs in smaller communities grasping for dollars to survive. This is not saying that it is all bad to make our fairs become more independent-financially responsible, however, there are some unique challenges associated with this weaning process. Such as facilities owned by the State that are in need of maintenance to become compliant and safe, staff that falls under state hiring and firing practices and retirement plans and those communities that are struggling to fill that funding gap. Fairs that have grown reliant on those dollars to survive and still put on an event that is entertaining and educational.

That doesn’t mean that the Ag community has to be the sole source of this added burden but everyone needs to do their part. If you interact with non-Ag related people, please help pass this message along so that this great institution and cornerstone of many smaller communities does not go away leaving a void and loose an opportunity to showcase all the good in agriculture and youth! Contact your local fair and see what is needed to help! Thank you for reading this and now I will stumble down off of my soap box.

Imagine when you were growing up and there was no local fair, for those of you who chose to show and sell your projects at, no fair grounds to hold weddings, funerals, and everything in-between to gather at. Many of us, myself included, started our love and passion for cattle as a junior exhibitor. Without these institutions, where can

PORK: Saleability of All Parts

By Mike Curry

Yosemite Meat Company, like many packing houses across the country, produce many unique products. However, I think we sell some of the most unique products around. Given that we market to the Hispanic and Asian clientele we produce and sell products that are not commonly consumed in the American Culture. We are a small company and these unique items help us stay competitive with the larger more efficient companies.

For example, we produce products for human consumption that many other plants will discard as waste, such as pork blood. We extract the blood from the carcass and use it to make three different types of edible blood product such as jell blood and liquid blood. We also save all the offal items such as hearts, kidney, liver, tongues, ears, snouts, bung guts, end guts, stomachs, head meat, and brains all for human consumption.

During my time at Yosemite Meat, the Asian and Hispanic communities have taught me many things about their cultures. One in particular is that they have the greatest respect for their food and where it comes from. They come from countries where there are not many privileges. Therefore, they have come accustomed to using many of the items stated above fully utilizing all parts of the animal.

In the United States, the average consumer will not consume these types of products simply because most consumers in the U.S. view the offal products as waste.

This is what makes us different from other countries. In the United States, the average person spends less than 8 percent of their income on food. In other countries, people will spend as much as 50 percent of their income on food. The reason is people in the US make more money and food is less expensive, where in other countries people make less money and food is more expensive.

For generations, farmers and ranchers have been producing food for all of us to enjoy at reasonable prices. My hope is that we will continue to do so in the future.

The next time you are raising and showing an animal please understand that you are contributing to the supply of food for others and playing your part in producing the lowest priced safest food in the world.

This issue is the July/August issue.

You are not missing an issue.

This issue was the June/July issue, but we are officially moving the cover dates on the magazine to correspond with when the issue comes out. When I first started Pacific Showcase (18 years ago), I had picked the issue months opposite of other magazines.

Well, after a couple of years - I realized that the issues weren't the best for when events, shows and other things going on in the livestock industry were done - and the issues came out at the first part of the second month. After years of explaining to people when the issue comes out - we decided to change the cover dates on the issue to correspond with when they come out. (Example: July/August comes out the 1st part of July, the September/October will come out the 1st part of September, and so on and so on).

CJLA News

A Message from CJLA Jr. Board Member Tim Truax.

Happy summer to everyone!

The first half of this year (can you believe it is June already?) have just flown by. Things have been hectic and I got behind. I apologize to everyone for the delay in getting these points posted.

I know how important it is to each of you to be able to see where you are in the standings and I am working on a way to keep the standings more up to date in the future. The GOOD NEWS now is that all shows through the Pacific Coast Jackpot of Gold shows are posted - plus the Charolais Field day results. If you earned points at more than eight shows, your top eight shows are listed in this set of points. Don’t forget that your points can still change – if you go to more shows, I continue to drop the lowest show points and keep the top eight to count. In past years, I have seen many times where a member has jumped up many places as they attended more shows. It is also difficult to compare your points to someone else because the number of shows included is a huge factor. One person might have 8 shows counted, where another person only has 3 or 4 shows included so far. If you have a question about your points, please do not hesitate to call or send me an email so we can go over my records and get everything accounted for. This is really important in making sure all your points are correct!

Passing it Forward

By Tim Truax

It was early February of 2010, and the nerves swept through me as my mom and I pulled into the Paso Robles fairgrounds for Cal Poly’s Western Bonanza.

Hundreds of thoughts ran through my head as I began to think through my very first jackpot show with the California Junior Livestock Association. Before then, I have showed at my county fair for six years, so naturally, I thought I knew it all. However, when it came down to the first class of showmanship, I found myself completely lost. From fitting the legs to pre- show feeding, my knowledge was limited. That was until I acquired help from fellow exhibitors. Since that first show day, I have made a substantial amount of growth in the show ring and out. Because of those people that took time out of their show schedule to help me out, I discovered the true fun in jackpotting sheep. See, the way I see it, jackpotting is for people that are eager to be competitive in their projects. CJLA members are those who strive to do their best in showing the state of California just how much they know about their animals. Time in and time out we see those who constantly win shows and achieve that true happiness in success. Whether this might be you or not, I, as a CJLA member, am promoting the Pass it Forward technique. Just as I was lost on that first day of jackpotting, I believe that there are many more exhibitors like myself that are willing to strive to wear that purple banner. Although I have not yet won this prestigious award, I have found myself in the Champion Drive many times. This success has come through the tips and advice of fellow CJLA members.

As a representative for the CJLA, I urge the members to take advantage of this Pass it Forward technique in helping those first-time showman see just how fun jackpotting can really be. Whether it’s a full-on showmanship lesson, or some helpful feeding tips, the advice from fellow peers can really gain confidence in and out of the show ring. I know for a fact that every member has had that first show and felt the nerves before entering the ring. Think of how much you appreciated helpful hints on your projects, and put yourself in the shoes of those first-timers. CJLA members, next time you’re at a show and see someone who appears to be having some trouble with their animal, take that knowledge that you have absorbed throughout the years of showing your animal and Pass it Forward!

july/August 2012

As I stated above, all shows through Pacific Coast and the Charolais Field Day are included in this issue. However, the results from the MJC Showmaster Classic had some information missing and they are working on getting that to me. I did record the results I had so far for that show, but if you don’t think I have all your information, please let me know!!! This way, I can double check everything between what I have, what they update, and what you know were your placings. Again, please contact me with any questions about your points!!

A few more things to mention….we have been emailing all our news and updates to all members regularly for the past several months. If you have not been receiving them in your in-box, please check with me to be sure we have your email address correct. Due to the rising cost of postage, we are emailing almost all of our news and information. Don’t miss out – be sure you are getting the news!!

We still have the sweatshirts from the 2011 award banquet that was held on February 18, 2012. We had asked for $5.00 to cover the postage to ship them. This is your last chance to get your CJLA awards! We will soon be selling CJLA items through Facebook and our CJLA website so anyone can buy these awesome outerwear items. I f you were a 2011 member, the package was yours just for joining but we need to reduce our inventory so will make the same items available to the public.

The new CJLA Board of Directors has been meeting by conference phone call the past several months. They have some new and exciting things in the works and they want YOU involved!!

Check out the article in this issue by Director Tim Truax and keep watching future issues for more CJLA features!!

Get new employees started right organization and find other employees with similar goals.

The first few days on the job are important for long-term employee success From cattle handling to overall management, staffing is a key factor for any feedlot and has a direct impact on the bottom line.

“All too often, we are seeing that people jump into a new position at a feedlot without the knowledge or confidence to do their best,” says Nicolas Buttars, labor management specialist, Pfizer Animal Health. “This type of hiring and lack of training is not good for the new employee, the cattle and certainly not for the feedlot owners.”

Rather than jump directly into the day-to-day workload, a more structured “onboarding” or training plan for new employees can help build confidence, prepare them to do the job correctly and set new hires up for long-term success.

By definition, onboarding is the complete integration or immersion of new employees to your operation. Properly onboarding new employees requires an added time commitment from managers, but it can translate to dollars in the long run. Research has shown that offering complete training increases bottom-line returns by improving productivity and minimizing employee turnover, which can cost an operation 1.5 to 2 times the person’s annual salary, according the American Management Association.

“The onboarding process begins before the employee is interviewed and will typically last throughout the first 60 to 90 days of employment at the feedlot,” Buttars says. “The process is inclusive of not only the initial interview, but orientation, training and performance reviews as well.”

New employee orientation: Familiarize new employees with practices and procedures on the feedlot. Take the time to discuss important factors for success and the specific role they will play.

•

Job training: Encourage managers and supervisors to work alongside new employees during a typical day at the feedlot while thoroughly explaining each task. This also is a great time to extensively cover the basics and expectations for the position.

•

Training review: After initial training, managers and supervisors should check in regularly to rate employee performance and to keep them engaged. Regular reviews give employees an opportunity to correct any mistakes and/or provide positive reinforcement to keep up the good work. Unfortunately, when asked about performance related feedback, many employees say they receive no feedback on how they are doing.

•

Setting milestones: Whether in conjunction with reviews or on separate occasions, setting milestones for new employees — and the feedlot as a whole — will give them motivation to continue the good work. Try incorporating incentives such as a raise or other benefits into milestones.

“Not only is it important to have a solid onboarding program in place when hiring a new employee, but it is also important to designate these responsibilities to someone on the feedlot,” Buttars says. “Having an existing employee responsible for training new employees is the key to having a consistent and successful onboarding process.”

When evaluating how to improve the current onboarding process at your feedlot, consider the following: •

•

After hearing about and seeing challenges from customers who work for large operations, Pfizer Animal Health developed the PeopleFirst™ program. Certified PeopleFirst consultants can assist operations of all sizes to implement and improve existing hiring and training protocols.

Interview process: Develop and train managers to extensively interview potential employees. Personality traits and previous experience can help you determine what role they might best fit. One key is to understand what your best employees value about working for your

PACKING ROAD for the

By Joel Judge

This month we are going to focus on what I think you should do in terms of packing your trailer, tackbox and medicine kit prior to heading out on the road this summer. When I think about what this means to your family, the first question I have is where you are headed, how far is the drive and what are the weather conditions going to be like?

• • • •

When packing the trailer, I always try and strategize how we load things so that when we arrive at the fairgrounds things are organized in a matter or order that you may need them. For instance, if you know you will be at a destination where you need to go make beds first, then you should always pack your forks in an easy convenient place to pull them from the truck or trailer. If you are traveling long distance, +5 hours, you may also want to pack a water hose and buckets close to a door for easy access so that you can water animals easily especially if it’s hot. Generally you should pack the feed and feed pans so that it can’t get rained on, cattle can’t urinate or defecate on it and it is convenient to get to.

• • •

The last area to visit is the medicine box: The first rule of thumb is to make sure what the withdrawal times are on each product if you are treating a market animal that is going to harvest after the show, we all must be good stewards of our cattle but also safety conscious regarding the American public.

When heading on long trips, to another state or several states away, you should always travel with cattle tied so they can lie down easily and not stand or step on others while traveling. I always like to throw hay down in front of them so there is something to eat on and comfort them while on the ride. On long rides, it’s best to travel hard (meaning no stops) to a destination so that cattle can lay over and get out for the evening. I always try to keep the animals comfort in mind, first and foremost, so we will generally always travel in the evening when daytime temps are going to be 95 or more. Even though they are in a covered vehicle, 100 degrees, plus animals providing plenty of body heat in an aluminum trailer standing still with no wind provides for a nice sauna experience. If you don’t think so, go stand in your trailer for an hour in the sun and see how it feels. If you do have to travel in the daytime hours in extreme heat, you may want to rinse cattle down and leave them wet prior to departing, and consequently check them at rest stops or refueling time.

Sulfa Boluses; Brand Name: Albon SR or Sustain III, good for footrot, respiratory illness and also helps relieve loose stool. Animals need access to water and withdrawal time for market animals is 28 days Oxytetracyline: Brand Name: LA 200, BioMycin 200, Normycin 200.

Great all around drug for Respiratory, footrot, pinkeye, given IM and requires a 28 day withdrawal Banamine: also known as fluniximine, requires a vet prescription, relieves lungs and provides some pain relief. Label requires IV injection only in cattle. You need to consult a vet and follow instructions according to their recommendations.

The following are vet prescribed anti-infectives:

Trailer essentials: • • • • • • • • • •

Pitch fork or Wonder fork, depends on the bedding Rake Brooms End Panels to contain the bedding and your cattle Fans and fan stands, make sure to check fair rules regarding butt fans and their use at your particular fair Blocking chute Rubber mats for the front feet of your animal, stops them from pawing or digging up bedding.

Fitting mats if you need Water hose and accompanying water nozzle Generator; if power is going to be limited. Please keep all generators outside of building due to emission build up.

• •

Brushes: Rice root and rubber brush Combs: scotch combs, can be both regular and stimulator type teeth Towels: Paper and Terry Cloth Electrical cords: range from small 25 ft. to 100 ft. Remember that blowers require thicker or higher gauge cords to run power july/August 2012

This is an abbreviated list of anti-infectives that require a vet prescription, you must also have a vet-client relationship and follow their instructions as to what to use, how to treat and duration of treatments.

Let us now talk about the tack box and what you need to have on your list.

• •

safely and not create a fire or blow breakers Clippers: your preference on type and kind Show Halters: Pack at least one extra Halters and Neck ropes: pack one more than cattle you are showing of each Show Supplies: Adhesive, paint according to your cattle, hair products such as final bloom, pink oil or show sheen, fly spray.

•

Topical treatment: Granulex, Cut and Heal, Blue Kote, Well Horse etc

•

Neosporin ointment.

This will hopefully give you a road map to what you should do when prepping for road trips to the summer shows.

Good luck and have fun!!

the experts and give that control to the federal government. Allowing the federal government to set on-farm production mandates with a one-size-fits-all approach is quite frankly dangerous.

While this amendment pertains only to egg production, there is absolutely no assurance that this will not be used as a blueprint for the entire livestock community. In fact, I feel comfortable saying that HSUS and their out-of-touch congressional allies will not stop with eggs.

Against All Odds

HSUS has one goal and that is to end animal agriculture. We will not stand by and let that happen. In fact, cattlemen should know that in a blog post by HSUS leader, Wayne Pacelle, he attributes his defeat in getting this amendment attached to the farm bill to efforts made by the pork and cattle communities. This happened because grassroots farmers and ranchers frequently visited elected leaders in Washington, D.C., made several phone calls and flooded mailboxes in staunch opposition of the federal government attempting to strip animal care decisions away from the experts.

We will once again unite and work to keep this dangerous legislation out of the House version of the farm bill.

Senate Moves on Farm Bill

The other amendment vehemently opposed by cattlemen and women was offered by Sen. Chuck Grassley from Iowa. This amendment (#2170) would stop packer ownership of cattle. This is nothing new from the Senator. He makes this attempt during every farm bill and at every given opportunity. Fortunately, because of the cattle community’s work on educating and staunchly opposing the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration’s rule on livestock marketing - the so-called GIPSA rule - we were able to stop this amendment from even being considered. This amendment and ideology is based on ill-conceived notions that packer ownership of cattle manipulates the price of cattle for cattlemen. In fact, a USDA-funded study that resulted from the 2002 Farm Bill clearly defines that a packer ownership ban would have negative financial implications of family farmers and ranchers. The study also illustrates that the negative impact would trickle down to the consumer level by increasing meat prices and reducing choice at the grocery store.

We will be working to ensure this amendment doesn’t show up on the House side either.

By Colin Woodall, NCBA Vice President of Government Affairs The Senate’s version of the 2012 Farm Bill concluded today, June 21, 2012. The Senate finalized votes on the 73 amendments selected for consideration. The bill passed by a huge bipartisan majority with a 64-35 vote.

Like many of us who have a vested interest in this legislation (S. 3240), I was pleasantly surprised by the bipartisan efforts made to move this bill through the Senate very efficiently and without much partisan rhetoric. Both Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and Minority Leader Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) should be commended for their leadership on this very important piece of legislation. Their transparency and willingness to listen to all vested interests was very refreshing for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and other like-minded organizations. NCBA stands firm in our commitment to support this legislation.

Although the amendment process was certainly concerning in its early stages, all is well for cattlemen and women thanks to their outspoken grassroots advocacy and affiliation with NCBA, which was the only national cattle organization representing them on these very important issues. This legislation, as written, incorporates all NCBA priorities. Bottom-line, there is no livestock title, conservation programs - specifically EQIP (Environmental Quality Incentives Program) - are maintained and the research title is sustained. All this is done with more than $20 billion in savings to the American taxpayer. We support this legislation and will continue working with the House to ensure amendments that would interject the federal government into production agriculture are left out of the legislation or soundly defeated.

As we focus our efforts on working with the House Committee on Agriculture to ensure another version of this legislation that is positive for cattlemen, I must stress the importance of family farmers and ranchers being engaged in this process.

Two amendments that would have been deal breakers for NCBA to support this bill are not present in the final Senate version of this legislation. First off, the amendment (#2252) proposed

by Sen. Dianne Feinstein out of California did not make it to the list of amendments up for consideration. This amendment would codify an agreement made by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and the United Egg Producers. This amendment would, for the first time, take animal care out of the hands of

Legislative Update —

Obama Administration Pulls On-Farm Youth Labor Rule WASHINGTON – Citing concerns raised in “thousands of comments,” the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced on April 26, 2012, it will withdraw its proposed rule regarding youth in agriculture. National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) President J.D. Alexander commended the administration’s action and said farmers and ranchers made their voices heard on the proposed rule, which could have restricted, and in some instances totally prevented, America’s youth from working on farms and ranches.

could jeopardize the future of their profession.

“This is a victory for farm and ranch families throughout the country. This ridiculous rule would have prevented the next generation of farmers and ranchers from acquiring skills and passion for this very noble profession. It also would have restricted urban kids from working on farms and acquiring a solid work ethic and enthusiasm for this very diverse industry,” said Alexander. “We absolutely have to have a sensible regulatory environment in Washington D.C. We should not have to worry about negligent rules being promulgated by out-of-touch regulatory agencies. We encourage the administration to venture off the city sidewalks and learn more about where their food comes from.”

Alexander said the administration’s action to withdraw the rule showcases the importance of farm and ranch families being engaged in decisions being made inside the Beltway. He said the NCBA will work with the beef community, regulatory agencies and policymakers to ensure a similar rule does not resurface in the future.

“Rather than strapping our hands behind our backs and preventing American youth from learning the ropes of food and fiber production from today’s farmers and ranchers, the administration should work with farmers and ranchers to ensure the rules on the books are workable,” Alexander said. “Rules and regulations, including those related to America’s youth working on farms and ranches, need to ensure safe working conditions. But the original proposal simply went too far. Cattlemen’s voices were heard.”

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) has represented America’s cattle producers since 1898, preserving the heritage and strength of the industry through education and public policy. As the largest association of cattle producers, NCBA works to create new markets and increase demand for beef. Efforts are made possible through membership contributions. To join, contact NCBA at 1-866-BEEF-USA or membership@beef.org.

Alexander said this is not the first time the administration has proposed rules impacting agriculture before fully evaluating the consequences of the regulations. He said agency officials should reach out to farmers and ranchers prior to proposing a rule that

Arizona National Livestock Show Announces This Year’s Show Dates Phoenix, AZ - The Show Committee for the Arizona National Livestock Show recently approved the dates for this year’s event.

The Show will be held December 27 through December 31, 2012 at the Arizona State Fairgrounds in Phoenix.

Sheep Shows. Special events include a Chuck Wagon Cook Off, Dutch Oven Cook Off, Farm Experience for youth to learn about agriculture, Li’l Buckaroo Rodeo, Arizona FFA Public Speaking Contest, FFA Parliamentary Procedure Contest, and Youth Poster Contest. The Ranch Events include Replacement Heifer Sale, two Ranch Rodeo performances, and a Working Ranch Horse Competition.

The Show will kick off December 27th with the Prospect Steer Show followed by the Show Dedication and opening of the 24th Annual Cowboy Classics Western Art & Gear Show.

Admission to the Show is $10 per car which includes admission and parking. This is a fun family event. There is something for every one of all ages to enjoy at the Arizona National Livestock Show.

This year’s featured Cowboy Artisan and Saddlemaker is Skeeter Hughes of Stitching Post Leather. A third generation rancher, Skeeter has spent a lifetime as a working cattleman, rancher and horseman. At some point in a rancher’s career, you have to repair a broken saddle, busted cinch, or make a headstall. “Making repairs just came naturally to me. I found I always enjoyed it,” says Skeeter, who opened Stitching Post Leather in Dewey, Arizona with his wife Patti.

The Arizona National Livestock Show, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about the significance of agriculture and livestock through the presentation of a premier livestock show. For more information and a full schedule of events, visit www.anls.org, or call the Arizona National office at (602) 258-8568.
