IN THE NEWS WELD COUNTY WEIGH’S IN On February 3rd, 2007 Weld County held their annual market beef weigh-in. There were two weigh-in locations; one in Keensburg at the new fair grounds and the other at the Cervi Feedlot just east of Greeley. This year there were 180 cattle weighed in.

ROUGH WINTER

STIERWALT’S TIP
The last few months have been tough on ranchers, producers, and even youth livestock exhibitors. The recent snow storms have caused problems for feedlots and have killed large numbers of livestock throughout Colorado. The Colorado Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) has launched the Colorado Cattlemen’s Relief Effort web page, a resource for both cattlemen affected by recent storms; and individuals and companies wanting to make donations. To help out visit: www.coloradocattle.org.
Just east of Riverton, Wyoming is one of the best restaurants to stop at while visiting or passing through Wyoming. Located in Shoshoni, Wyoming, Yellowstone Drug is known for their great malts, shakes, burgers and gift shop. Not only do they boast having the greatest malts and shakes in Wyoming, but the United States as well. In 2006 they served 45,000 shakes & malts in 58 different flavors!
When you are clipping for show, make sure the better part of your clipping is done at home before you go. Clipping from start to finish is hard to get done all at the show besides fatiguing your cattle. We like to wash and rough them out or give them some shape and then wash them again as it is some times easier to get them clean that second round after some hair has been removed. From there we just keep going over them until we feel they are finished. Each one is different and we handle their preparation on an individual basis.

THE MENTAL GAME
L
ivestock judging in my opinion is the greatest mental challenge a young person could participate in. After judging at the 4-H, Junior College and University levels and coaching 4-H, FFA and College teams, I have come to the conclusion that the sport of competitive livestock evaluation teaches life skills, challenges the mind and educates our youth better than any other single activity. While livestock judging is not an easy activity, it is important that we keep it fun. Fun livestock judging to me consists of working hard, making friends and that winning is a goal we should strive for while no making it the ultimate priority. The primary concept of judging is to teach the basics of evaluating livestock. Competitors at a contest must rank four animals for a certain species and/or breed from best to worst. The student only has the time limit of 15 minutes to evaluate the livestock
and make a decision of how to rank them. The criteria for ranking the animals depend on economic factors based on what type of livestock they are meant to be. Market animals which are intended for harvest are ranked on muscle, fat, feeding capacity, performance, etc... A breeding class such as Angus Heifers would be ranked on balance, structural correctness and volume. Knowing the priorities of each of the species (cattle, sheep, swine or goats), breed (Duroc or Yorkshire) and the type of class (breeding or market) determines how a competitor ranks the livestock. Timed decision making and critical thinking are just some of the skills developed by this process. The second part of a livestock judging contest is oral reasons. This is where a competitor’s verbal communication skills are developed. After the student ranks the livestock in a class from best to worst, he or she must accurately defend why they placed the class a certain way. Oral reasons are usually given to an official judge who is a livestock expert. Most youth become very frustrated with reasons because of the difficulty. It takes a considerable amount of time, probably years to master oral reasons. However, once a person becomes comfortable with oral reasons, livestock judging can become the most fun thing you do. Learning to rank domestic farm animals and give oral sets of reason are the foundations for livestock evaluation, but the skills learned from this activity are endless.
BEN COOLEY One of the things I constantly remind my teams of when judging, is mental toughness. If you consider for a second the amount of information being processed in a single college livestock judging contest, it would boggle your mind. Collegiate livestock judgers must rank 12 classes of livestock and give eight sets of oral reasons at a single contest. Every class of livestock has 24 possible placings and every set of oral reasons has dozens of priorities that must be accurately verbalized to the official judge. Successful livestock judgers put every ounce of energy into placing a class correctly within the 15 minute time frame. They also must spend every moment possible formatting their reasons so they are accurate, prioritized and professional. However, what truly separates the great individuals is their ability to judge a class and then turn around and completely clear their mind so to focus on the next task. Jerry Hawkins, long time coach at Clarendon Community College in Texas and one of the most brilliant judging coaches in college history, said that one of the biggest mistakes students make in judging is carrying baggage from class to class. Once the card is turned in, you can never change it. So there is no point in worrying about that class again. The only time you mentally revert back to a class is if you are preparing to give a set of reasons on it. (Please continue reading on the next page.) THE SHOWTIMES 7
(Continued from previous page.) The final lesson I could teach about being a successful livestock judge is keeping a positive attitude. This might be one of the toughest lessons to learn, especially for coaches. Everybody wants to win but you find out that in livestock judging just like in life, you do a lot less winning than you would prefer. Striving for success, making goals and sacrificing personal luxuries is the only way to reach your full potential. It takes an unapologetic work ethic to succeed in life and reach your full potential. More importantly it does a better job of teaching a person how to lose? The same way a person learns to win - with grace, dignity and the attitude to work harder the next time.

JUDGing BEEF CATTLE has the desired fat cover to make the choice or choice plus quality grade.
I
’ve had the opportunity to judge numerous livestock shows throughout the Midwest and each time I’m involved in a junior show my top priority is to make it an enjoyable and educational experience for the junior showman. As I view a class of steers or heifers entering the showring, I analyze soundness and structure. Being a cow/calf producer, I place a great deal of emphasis on the ability to move freely and I love to see a big easy stride with ample flex of pasterns. STEERS: When it comes to judging market steers I believe we have moved past the days where 1,250-1,275 lbs is the only accepted weight for a champion. These days with the extreme muscle mass, body depth and bone we are able to produce a heavier steer is obviously acceptable and most times preferred. I see no problem with a 1,350 lb steer as long as he 10 THE SHOWTIMES
When it comes to muscle, I have heard comments like, “we can’t get them too thick these days.” I however disagree. I don’t think anyone appreciates standing behind a steer and seeing a huge top and massive rear quarter more than I, however we can get steers that have too much muscle for their skeleton and then we start sacrificing soundness and production. I prefer to select steers that have that “soft-fat steer” look. Don’t misunderstand me, I showed steers in the 1980’s and I still like a show steer, but that doesn’t mean they have to be “freaky” necked and cut up in the flank to be cool. Nearly anyone who has one of those freaky calves would have to agree that they lack production and are hard cattle to feed. I am not a judge that gets real hung up on a perfect hip height. I’ve selected good little steers and good big steers. As I’ve mentioned, my emphasis is more on an animal that combines good expression of muscle, thickness, eye appeal and soundness in a productive package that fits the showring. HEIFERS: I am a firm believer that a show heifer and a cow prospect can be the same animal. Once again, I really stress structural soundness and mobility in breeding heifers. My ideal show heifer has that extra depth of rib and body that I look for in my replacement
CRAIG MITTAG heifers for our cowherd. We need to keep in mind once again that these are show cattle and select them for features such as smoothness of muscle, femininity, and extention of neck and body. A big question from many heifer exhibitors is, “how much condition should I have on my show heifer?” This really varies among judges, I prefer not to have the heifers too fat, and sacrifice milk production, yet I like to see them show a productive look and not be too green. The amount of condition I believe really depends on the female. Some can carry a bit more condition while others simply look sloppy or steery. When selecting a supreme champion heifer from all of the different breeds, I don’t really change my criteria used throughout the show. I simply want to select the female that combines the soundness, body depth and look, no matter what breed she represents. It has been a priviledge for me to share my thoughts of selecting steers and heifers. Good luck to everyone and remember if you enjoy what you are doing and learn from it.....You will be a Champion in the Showring and in Life!

HOG SHOWMANSHIP Brett Kaysen grew up 15 miles East of Brighton, Colorado in Adams County. He was an active member in 4-H and livestock judging. He received his Animal Science Degree from Colorado State University, as well as a Masters in Cooperative Extension and Education. Brett has judged livestock (hogs, cattle, lambs and goats) in 33 different states. Brett has shared with me his top 5 steps to success in hog showmanship.
1. Mr. Kaysen’s number one priority in swine showmanship is presentation. By this he means the presentation of the exhibitor as well as the hog being driven. The exhibitor should look like a livestock person; appropriately dressed, good hygiene, and be respectful. As for the hog, presentation is equally important. The hog must be clipped right (appropriate) length, be clean, and must enter the ring ready to show. Oil or water (depending on the rules of the show) are a must. The hog should always be sprayed down and have a show pig look. 2. The exhibitor should always make eye contact with the judge. It is important to know where the judge is while also keeping control of your hog.
Junior with his champion trophy. Russell Junior Bonds of Durango, Colorado was a member of the Champion Livestock Judging Team at the first Gunnison in 1947 with team members Robert McCoy and Grant Paulek. Junior was also named the Senior High Individual Overall that day. This team from LaPlatta went on to win 2nd in Pueblo at the Colorado State Fair. They concluded the year with a 3rd place finish at the National Western Stock Show. Russell’s daughter Martha judged for CSU and has a granddaughter, Lindsey Zellitti that is currently on the UW livestock judging team. The 61st Gunnison contest will be May 19th, 2007. 12 THE SHOWTIMES
3. Mr. Kaysen also asks that you keep your hog between you (the exhibitor) and the judge. Be aware of where your hog is at all times. Don’t drive your hog along the rail and keep your hog out of the corner. 4. When you are placed or penned, don’t stop showing. Many exhibitors tend to give up or relax in the pen after they are placed. For Mr. Kaysen the show is not over until you leave the ring. It is very important to keep the head of the hog facing the front / gated portion of the pen. By having your hog facing the judge and the ring, it makes for an easier time showing if the hog can walk right out at the judge. The same goes for the exhibitor driving the hog. Mr. Kaysen prefers the exhibitor to be in a “catcher position.” By this he means kneeling down
BRETT K AYSEN Interview By: Brian J. Reid behind your hog and keeping eye contact with the judge. It is always a good idea to know where the judge is and understand how he is placing your competitors. When the judge asks you to bring your hog out of the pen, while maintaining control of your hog, latch your gate and drive your hog directly at the judge. Mr. Kaysen would also ask that you show the judge all views at this time. Show the judge your hogs profile, then drive your hog away. This could be the most important time during hog showmanship, because it is your personal time with the judge. 5. For Mr. Kaysen, showing your hog well is not all there is to swine showmanship. Knowledge is another key factor to success in showmanship. For junior exhibitors, he aks that you know the basics about your hog. This would include knowing the ear notch of your hog as well as how to read an ear notch. You should also know the parts of your hog and what you feed your hog. For a senior swine showman, he asks that you know and understand industry trends. Mr. Kaysen always has his top senior showman come to the microphone and give a brief speech / presentation of what they know about the swine industry. It is important to not only understand the swine industry but be a good speaker as well. If you can master these five steps next time you enter the ring with your hog, you should be able to find success in swine showmanship. Good luck to everyone at upcoming shows!

CURES AUTOR UNKNOWN Did you know that Colgate toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns! Coco-Cola is a great cure for rust. Just saturate an abrasive sponge with Coke and scrub the rust stain. The phosphoric acid in the Coke is what gets it done! If you ever get a splinter, pour a drop of Elmer’s Glue all over it and let it dry. When the glue drys, peel the glue off. The splinter will stick to the dried glue! Want to kill flees instantly? Just add a few drops of Dawn dishwashing liquid to your dog and wash the animal thoroughly. Rinse well and the flees will be gone! Use Listerine to get rid of toenail fungus. Just soak your toes in the mouth wash and the powerful antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy again! To prevent screws in your eyeglasses from loosening, apply a small drop of Maybelline Crystal Clear nail polish to the threads of the screws before tightening them! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

I attended Lake Land College in Mattoon, Ill., and then transferred to the University of Illinois in UrbanaChampaign where I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture and my Master of Science & Doctor of Philosophy
degrees in Beef Cattle Nutrition and Management. While pursuing my graduate degrees, I also coached the University of Illinois Livestock Judging Team from 1992-1997. I then worked at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colo., as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Animal Sciences. While at CSU, I also had responsibilities of serving as the State Youth Livestock Extension Specialist. I have been working for Land O’ Lakes Purina Feed since the summer of 2001. My wife, Joy, and I have four children, Chance (9), Keegan (7), Hudson (5), and Finley (2). We live in Colorado Springs, Colo., and our family activities revolve around the children soccer, baseball, basketball and swimming. I enjoy judging beef cattle shows and the opportunity to work with junior exhibitors, and have judged shows in 18 different states.

TB is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium Bovis. There are many types but the two most important -M. Tuberculosis and M. Bovis are the only ones which can be spread between humans and animals. Bovine TB is a chronic disease with very non-specific signs and symptoms. Definitive diagnosis is reached through a series of tests. Treatment of infected livestock is not practical or efficacious. Prevention and control methods, such as testing new stock, are the only way to help to eradicate tuberculosis. In February a bovine bull from Colorado was diagnosed with TB. State and Federal Vets are in the process of tracing where all the bull had been and trying to determine the point of contract. In the 1970’s Colorado was labeled a TB free state. TB must be found on two different premises before the status can be downgraded. Test requirements for Colorado should not change unless we loose our free status. We are however, seeing some changes for requirements for other states for animals coming from Colorado. If you are in the stock contracting business, check with us about updated regulations for hauling.

LAMBING SEASON
L
ambing season is winding down for a lot of producers, and it couldn’t have come sooner. It is a bitter sweet time of the year. Those first few lambs on the ground come at you slow and you are excited because you got a set of twins out of your new buck on a ewe that produced your high seller last year. “Man that is a nice set of twins, cant wait to see that buck lamb in a few weeks.” The next thing you know your jugs are full and you got two ewes out in the corral getting ready to pop. It’s below zero outside and you’ve got no place to put the lambs that were just born last night... You know what I’m talking about, right? Nothing beats a ewe lamb having her babies out in the

only hole on the place, and oh yeah, the joy of getting her to follow you to the jug. Better yet, getting the stubborn lambs to let you help them nurse. How could I talk about lambing and leave out the dreaded words “bum lamb?” Mixing bottles six times a day or going to the goat pen and grabbing your best nanny “good ole’ Betty.” There is nothing on this earth that a producer wouldn’t give to not have a single bum lamb.
species called sheep? Because of the satisfaction you get when one of the lambs you raised goes on to the local county fair, state fair or national show and takes the Grand Champion Honors.
Lambing season is a lot of long nights spent in the barn and a lot of long days spent cleaning out jugs, tagging and banding, vaccinating and maybe... sleep.
Oh yeah, the first set of twins that you were so excited about, you finally got to take a look at them about three weeks later, and after looking at them a little closer... nah, they’re still pretty dang good. -----------------------------------Matt Summers is a show lamb producer in Aurora, Colorado.
So what makes a person want to do this? Why would a person enjoy these long nights and dealing with these aggravating
It’s not all about money. Its about taking pride in doing what you love and seeing that lamb grow from an eight pound, unstable soaking wet mess, into the lamb that just won the Colorado State Fair.
