STATE FAIR PREVIEW
FROM THE EDITOR
OUR JULY/AUGUST 2016 STATE FAIR EDITION IS 122 PAGES BIGGER THAN LAST YEAR’S ISSUE AND OUR LARGEST MAGAZINE WE’VE EVER PRINTED!
T
en years ago our 2007 State Fair Edition was distributed at the state fairs. It was the second issue of The Showtimes and only 60 pages. We would’ve never dreamed that by 2016 our July/August issue would be over 600 pages! This issue has been a lot of fun to work on this summer! It is definitly my favorite one we have every printed! The state fairs are always a highlight every year. We can’t wait to travel to Springfield, Des Moines and Pueblo this August to cover the Illinois, Iowa and Colorado shows! There is something special about watching a class of market steers at these much anticipated summer events. The amount of tension and anticipation around the ring can only be found at the state fair. As a former exhibitor, I understand the amount of hours that go into getting a steer ready for the show. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication and money to raise a steer. It is truely a family project that you get a lot out of.
This issue is filled with pasture sales from across the country! Our free Showtimes App has been updated with the 2016 Pasture Sales. You can view every advertiser’s pasture sale map pin and listing on your phone! Not only can you view the name, description, address, website and phone number for each sale, you can also get directions to any sale advertised! In addition to all of these great features, we also have GPS Push Notifications for premium advertisers. For example, if anyone with our Showtimes App are driving through Western Iowa, their phone will alert them about Sullivan Cattle Company’s sale! There has never been an easier way to locate Pasture Sales! The Showtimes App’s Pasture Sale feature paired with the July/August 2016 State Fair Edition is the perfect way to look at calves this Summer and Fall! Also, be sure to check out our Sale Directory on page 395. We hope you enjoy our July/August 2016 State Fair Edition! Good luck at the State Fairs!

BY CHLOE VAN VLIET, IA
W
hen you are born as a twin into a life on the farm, it’s either sink or swim. Cade and I made the choice to “swim” from a very early age and there’s no looking back. We love the lives we lead and the memories we have created along the way. All the hours in the barn are molding us into the kids we have become. Here’s our story…
Blueprint Cattle Company was created in 1982 by our dad, Marty Van Vliet, Tom Van Vliet and Beth Dejong. Today Sumner Mapes plays an integral role in our company. It started when my dad purchased his first show heifers from Flying Dutchmen Ranch and his first bred heifers from JB Ranch. Ever since then, Maine Anjou cattle have been the main focus of our program. We now run 80-90 head of Maineinfluenced cattle, as well as my dad running a row crop farming operation of beans and corn. The primary focus of our operation is raising quality, functionally sound breeding stock. Our dad has also served on the Maine Anjou National Board for many years, influencing Cade and I to show Maine Anjou cattle. His knowledge of the industry is vital to us when selecting heifers, feeding methods, and management decisions. You can find our mom, Teresa, behind the scenes at a cattle show as our
cheerleader and photographer and at all of our sporting events when she is not putting her time in outside of our home as an official court reporter.
The cattle industry has also had a very big influence on how we go about our other activities. It has taught us how to be committed to what we do and to always put forth 100 % effort. Cade currently plays football for the Pella High Football team and has been blessed with the opportunity to be on the 2015 3A State Championship football team. He also enjoys participating in basketball and golf and helping my dad out around the farm. His future plans include a degree from Iowa State in an ag-related field and continued involvement in our family cow/calf
45 THE SHOWTIMES
Through our years of being involved in the industry, we have learned that the little things can make the biggest difference; for example, keeping pens clean, working hair many months before a show, and always emptying the wheelbarrow after a day’s work. Rinsing and blowing, working the hair, and exercising every morning and night has taught us each many valuable lessons about dedication. Raising
a good project through a ton of hard work always pays off. We may not always win the top prize, but that doesn’t stop us from giving up. Sometimes there are extreme lows and disappointment of a heifer that didn’t turn out as well as expected, yet the extreme high feeling of winning keeps us coming back for more. Some highs for us include: Grand Champion Mainetainer 2010 and 2011 at the National Western, Grand Champion Maintetainer 2013 NAILE, Grand Champion Maine and Mainetainers at the 2014 Iowa State Fair, and 3rd Overall Female in 2009 and 4th Overall Female in 2016 at the Iowa Beef Expo. We have also had the thrill of participating in 11 Junior Nationals along the way covering 7 states: Missouri, Tennessee, Illinois, Kentucky, Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio, and Kansas and meeting many lifelong friends. We are both active in the IJBBA, Iowa and National Maine Anjou Association, as well as our local 4H club.
JULY/AUG 2016
Because of our dad’s influence in the industry, Cade and I started showing when we were five years old at the Iowa State Fair in the Open Maine show. Cade happened to exhibit the Champion Maine Anjou bull named Big Shot, but I did not get to show my first heifer because of an illness. To this day I still hear about how Cade showed his first heifer before I did. We had our first show heifers when were were eight years old to show on the IJBBA show circuit and throughout the years we have had some very memorable show heifers. My most memorable show heifer was from 2011 as she won the National Western and was named Starbucks, and yes, she has a white star on her head. Cade’s favorite heifers include a heifer named Yodie, after the breeder named Phil Yoder, and his heifer this year named Becca. Cade has developed a system to name heifers based off of where they are from and the breeder’s wife’s name. For example, we have had a heifer named Brenda, who is from Jirl and Brenda Buck, and a heifer named Lisa, who is from Mark and Lisa Beauprez.

operation. His knowledge about the care of animals that he has gained as an exhibitor is vast, and this knowledge will definitely help in his future career. You can find Cade at many shows behind the scenes fitting. After many, many hours of practice and time, he loves to get one ready for a show. My other passion is I play year-round basketball for the AAU program Iowa Elite. I was thrilled to be part of the Pella High basketball team that was the Class 4A State Runner-Up in 2016. I often am asked if playing one sport, basketball, has caused me to become burned out or bored, but my response to that is showing cattle requires a lot more time, effort, and dedication than all of the hours, blood, sweat, and tears I have ever spent in the gym. Showing livestock can be both an individual activity and a team activity. As an exhibitor I am responsible for my own success yet family, friends, and everyone else that helps us along the way also contribute to the process to guide us along. My future interests lie in a degree in exercise science or kinesiology and working eventually in a sports medicine related field. The purpose of livestock projects are not only to learn about the livestock industry but also to develop important life skills. We believe that makes us more accountable and engaged and we have a better understanding of life than a young person who has not had similar experiences. We also love all the friendships we have developed with other exhibitors from all over the country. We have learned
responsibility, sportsmanship, and how to deal with a loss. We have learned many valuable lessons as well through showmanship. Sportsmanship is taught through tough competition. One must be able to learn how to be a humble winner as well as a gracious loser. At times there are exhibitors whose livestock looks terrific time and time again, but with hard work and dedication, there’s always a chance for anyone who is willing to work at it. We enjoy the bonding of our family that occurs by caring for animals together and traveling to many stock shows throughout the country. When we walk into the show ring, all of the long hours of preparation are well worth it. Some days we would rather sleep in and hang out with friends but success requires enormous discipline, and that is something our parents have instilled in our minds. There are few experiences in life that compare to showing cattle so we know that the early mornings and late nights will be worth it in the end. At the end of the day, the winners are not just the exhibitors standing in first place but the journey along the way. •

SHOW FOR THE GOLD
Earlier this summer we headed to Grand Island, Nebraska for the 2016 Maine-Anjou and Chianina Junior National! For the second year in a row, we had the honor of working with both the Maine and Chi associations on designs for the show. In addition to the official logo, we designed the photo backdrop, sponsor signs, ring decorations and signs and banners throughout the barns! Our Showtimes booth was near the show ring this year and featured the banner above. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to pick up our Junior National Edition, sticker, cap and comb throughout the week!

WHO’S JUDGING
Mark talking a class of Market Steers at the 2016 NWSS.
MARK HOGE WILL BE JUDGING THE 2016 IOWA STATE FAIR MARKET BEEF SHOW. ONE
What made you want to be a judge?
When you are not on the road judging, what do you do for fun?
FAMILY TIME! Between my responsibilities at Western Illinois University and traveling to judge shows, there is not a great deal of spare time. Spend time with my family raising livestock, showing livestock, and talking about livestock. I also enjoy going to the boy’s sporting events and school activities. My passion for family and livestock does not allow for many other interests! Continued on page 96
95 THE SHOWTIMES
TWO
JULY/AUG 2016
I was raised around the livestock industry and the show ring. I spent a great deal of time traveling with my father to livestock judging workouts and my entire family was involved in raising and showing livestock and horses. At no point do I remember making the statement that I was going to be a livestock show judge. I think that I became a livestock judge because of the many positive influences in my life and the commitment that I had to completely understanding and appreciating the domesticated livestock species that I was raised around. As a young showman, I was subjected to some great evaluators in the show ring and always looked up to them. Throughout my show career I was also subjected to some judges that had an unpleasant demeanor in
the ring and on occasion allowed non livestock related concerns to enter their evaluation of my entries. As a result, I always told myself that if I ever got an opportunity to judge a show I would always be kind to the exhibitors and simply judge the creatures before me - nothing more, nothing less.
• WHO’S JUDGING
Mark judging the 2015 Tulsa State Fair.

SIX
How many shows have you judged this year?
What are you looking forward to the most at the Iowa State Fair this summer?
JULY/AUG 2016
I learned a long time ago not to count! I would say not as many as I used to but my wife and children would probably have a different response. I was fortunate to marry a very strong person. When I am traveling judging shows or coaching a livestock team, my wife holds a demanding full time position as a technology director for a large school district, takes care of our 3 wonderful children, and chores that stock at home. FOUR
What is the best steer you have ever judged?
The champion steer at Houston. It was my first Texas major steer show and he exemplified everything that I hold dear in terms of evaluating market livestock! Incredible body shape and muscle, excellent athleticism, incredibly well balanced, and a very photogenic look.
THE SHOWTIMES

Mark judging the 2016 NCC.
FIVE
What does your ideal market steer look like?
Built like a middle linebacker and the look of a super model. I want to find the steer that is a unique, rare find. Massive muscle, move like a cat, and got a killer look!
Mark judging the 2016 NWSS.
It is the Iowa State Fair! I don’t really need to say anything else. There is even a movie about the Iowa State Fair! On a more serious tone, I earned my masters degree at Iowa State University years ago. I met my wife while at Iowa State and got to spend time with her and her family exhibiting at the Iowa State Fair. The state fair was like a holiday event that the family looked forward to each year. The tradition and history of the Iowa State Fair is unlike any show that I have been to. The livestock producers and feeders in the state are incredibly talented and competitive. It was truly an honor to get the call to serve as the steer judge. SEVEN
What are your goals for the future?
That is easy - to raise our 3 children to be outstanding human beings that believe in the values of kindness, hard work, honesty, and doing what they believe in. The livestock industry is a great way to teach these concepts. I would only hope that my wife and I are able to provide the experiences that we had growing up to our children.

INVOLVEMENT IN THE CHAROLAIS BREED HAS LED TO SUCCESS, KNOWLEDGE AND GIVING BACK. BY WILL SHAFFER
y sister, Kate, and I have been beyond blessed to exhibit Charolais cattle since we attended our first Charolais Junior Nationals in 2005, after Larry Aschermann, Carthage MO told our parents we had to give it a try. Our first few years in the breed were spent adapting to a new industry, becoming better showman, and experimenting with a new breed. We still remember the first moment we placed high enough in class to earn a coveted ribbon. Eventually we bought a few more cows and a few more heifers and started to build a herd. In recent years, we have been fortunate enough to have had much success

at the Charolais Junior Nationals, including multiple Champion and Reserve Champion Bred and Owned Females, two Champion Bulls, a handful of owned show female division winners, and Champion Owned Female. Our successes in the Bred and Owned show continue to mean the most to us as breeders and as a family, emphasizing a successful and rigorous breeding program and the value of our herd we have worked hard to develop over more than a
decade. Our involvement in the breed and yearly participation in the Charolais Junior Nationals can be attributed to the wonderful people we have come to know as friends and family in the association. Throughout the years we continued to gain new friendships and connections in the industry. While showing at the national level has taught my sister and I diligence and progressive breeding strategies,

the life-long friendships made and opportunities opened up to us by our fellow breeders are invaluable experiences that cannot be replicated elsewhere. While we appreciate the many benefits we have gained through our involvement in the association, my sister and I have looked for ways to give back to the association; my sister served on the National Junior Board as Secretary and, in the future, I would like to use my studies in genomics to assist the breed in setting genetic goals and represent the Charolais breed across the country. We look forward to serving the association as adult members and know our Charolais family has our backs as we enter the professional world. Our last year at the Charolais Junior Nationals was very successful and deeply heartfelt. Beyond our success in the show ring, we were recognized as the Family of the Year, a prestigious honor that left even my dad shedding
a few tears at the regard our fellow breeders held for us. Additionally, my parents were also recognized for their contributions to 2016 Planning Committee. While we may have aged out, our family looks forward to attending future Junior Nationals and my sister and I are excited to enter our senior year at Oklahoma State University, where she will finish her last semester on the judging team and earn a degree in Animal Science and I will be applying for graduate school in Genetics upon earning my undergraduate degree in Animal Science and Biotechnology.

Being involved in the industry has taught us many lessons. We’ve learned that shades of purple aren’t the only definition of success, but instead we measure success by the relationships we’ve made and raising the type of Charolais seed stock that we know will work for our area and for our customers. •

A LIFE LONG DREAM COMES TRUE!
i I’m Austin Nowatzke. I’m 13 years old and I live in Michigan City Indiana, which is on the south tip of Lake Michigan. When I’m not showing cattle, my other hobbies include playing soccer and hockey. This year I attended my 4th NJAS in Grand Island Nebraska. I have so much fun attending these shows! This year was an extra special one. Not only because my heifer did well in the show ring, but because my little brother Kayden got to attend his first junior nationals. The heifer I showed is CCC Saras Dream 5116, but I like to call her Calli. Besides being good in the ring, she is the kindest heifer I have ever shown. When the judge put down the microphone and slapped my heifer, it was a great feeling that I will never forget! I know that my long hours in the barn have payed off in great way! But it wasn’t only me that did all of the hard work. I would like to thank Cash and Catherine Langford and Jon and Kayla Sweeney for helping me with that. And most importantly thanks to my mom and dad Barry and Kristine and my little brother Kayden for helping me make a life long dream come true. •

or 10 years, my family has exhibited countless champions at the county, state and national level. So far, nothing can compare to the feeling of exhibiting the grand champion at the National Junior Angus Show. Considering all of the years and connections I have made along the way, I am actually only a third generation cattleman and a first generation Angus breeder. My family has been in the cattle business since the 1950’s when my grandfather started raising registered Herefords. My dad got his start in the cattle industry early on, when he started freelancing around the United States. He has worked with numerous breeds of cattle at countless operations. He has worked on the smaller scale operations and even one of the largest seed stock operations in the U.S., Express Ranches. When he started working for Express in 1995, our love for the Angus breed began. I learned at an early age that showing cattle was not only a time-honored tradition, but it is also something that could mold and shape someone into a respected and driven individual.

people involved in it grows stronger every year. It has always been a threeman team with my parents and I because I never had any brothers or sisters growing up to watch and help out with in the barn. When moved to Louisiana, we went back to Express to purchase show heifers because of their scholarship program they offer. Because of this, I started building my own herd and started a college tuition fund.

As I got older, I became more and more involved in agriculture and the livestock industry. Directly after my high school graduation I made the decision to attend Redlands Community College and join the livestock judging team. It didn’t take me long after meeting my coach, Brandon Callis, to realize that going back to Oklahoma was one of the best decisions I had ever made. Prior to junior college I had only judged once or twice in my life. I listened to every word Callis said, whether it was about cattle, sheep, or even life in general. He quickly became one of my biggest role models and an even better friend. Reflecting back on the last two years spent at RCC, I am confident that it was the best decision I have ever made. It is the people like Brandon that keep me motivated and
passionate about this industry. When he congratulated me after my big win, he reminded me that ‘God always has a plan’. Those words stand behind my family 100 percent because we have worked hard every single day and learned to stay humble after winning and getting beat. After thousands of hours of hard work, dedication, and just a little luck, my dreams finally came true. That handshake solidified the fact that hard work does pay off every once in a while. We may have lost more shows than we will ever win, but reflecting on this and life in general, it makes the winning so much sweeter. I will never forget what I accomplished at the 2016 National Junior Angus Show. It was a once in a lifetime experience and I will never be able to thank my parents enough for all of their support. Without them, none of this would have ever been possible. I am attending Oklahoma State University in the fall to double major in Animal Science & Agriculture Communications. We currently run a 30 head cow/calf operation in central Kentucky. We have cattle for sale private treaty, and would be more than glad to help out juniors with their next show prospect! •

BY LISA REID, CO
How does a man born and raised in Madill, Oklahoma become a mainstay in the cattle industry and Maine breed? Through hard work, dedication and passion. After graduating from Oklahoma
State University in 2003, Brett moved to Bartlesville, Oklahoma to work for DJ’s Cattle Company. While this is where many people started to recognize Brett, in 2012 he moved to Stratford, Oklahoma to manage Morton Farms. Brett’s world revolves around his family. He married his wife Lacey in 2004 and now enjoys life with her and their two sons, Grady and Hudson (5). Raising and showing cattle is undoubtedly a family affair. Both of his sons already show a great passion for the livestock industry. For Brett, to have Grady find success with his Bred & Owned Maine Female this summer was the most special accomplishment of all. “It means everything. There are two reasons I get out of bed every morning. Number one is to be successful as a dad. Number two is to be successful with my job. Having those both happen at once means everything. Showing is a tool to raise our kids. To have success and the families I am involved with have success is very special.” •

rett Carter is no stranger to the Maine-Anjou breed. After starting off with club calves as a young child, his family transitioned to Purebred Maines in the mid 90s. His involvement in the breed has made him a recognizable face at most Maine shows and as the breeder of many high quality MaineAnjou cattle. This summer, he was not only involved with one, but multiple Overall National Champions at the 2016 Maine Junior National in Grand Island, Nebraska: Grand Champion Maine-Anjou Futurity Female, the Grand Champion MaineAnjou Female and the 4th Overall MaineTainer. To make the summer even sweeter, Brett’s son, Grady (8), exhibited the Grand Champion Bred & Owned Maine-Anjou Female.

hirteen years ago, I started my show career with a steer named Bronco who won our county fair. Reaching that goal early on in my show career, lead to setting higher expectations for myself. During my final year in the ring, my heifer, Maeve, and I claimed the silver medal “Showing for the Gold” in Grand Island, Nebraska, for Reserve Overall National Chianina Heifer. This day was certainly the highlight of my show career, but it would not have been possible without all the days leading up to it.
WRAPPING UP HER JUNIOR SHOW CAREER WITH A WIN! BY JESSICA HARSH
Wrapping up my last year as a junior exhibitor, and as a recent graduate from Purdue University, I will be moving to Florida to earn my master’s degree at the University of Florida in Agricultural Communication. Thanks to the cattle industry, it has opened my eyes to the relationship the general public has with agriculture. I want to encourage a better understanding of production agriculture to consumer’s in my graduate work. But, this opportunity would not have been possible without the connections and support I had walking in the ring at Grand Island. I am grateful for everyone who helped or has helped over the years. As I have said many times before, thank you is never enough. Thank you to Scott Campbell; Jeff; Dillon Brock; Caden Curoe; Ethan Hanold; Bill Weiderman; Chandler Akins; and, the ones who started it all, my family, Dave, Michele, and Curtis for making my show career chapter such a memorable one as it comes to an end. •

My involvement in the cattle industry has opened more doors than I can even count. From internships to expanding my network of people across the country in the cattle industry, it has all been a part of accomplishing my goal of showing a national champion.

My interest in cattle began after I saw my cousin showing at the Ohio State Fair. I thought working with the hair looked fun, and to this day working hair is still my favorite activity in the barn. After showing steers for a few years, a family friend encouraged us to travel to Springfield, Illinois, for my first Chianina junior national in 2010. A year later, I ran for the junior Chianina board serving four years and carried out the role of vice chairman the last year.

ENDLESS HOURS, EARLY MORNINGS AND LATE NIGHTS LEAD TO A BIG WIN. BY CHESNEY EFFLING, SD

Since I was a little girl, I’ve loved the Hereford breed. My dad worked for the Hereford Association until I was four. I loved reading the Hereford World! As well, as seeing the notorious red and white faced “moos” every time we drove by them on the
When it came time to pick out heifers
One thing about this heifer that I’ll never forget is when were getting ready to leave for Denver and Dad clipped her. I came back from basketball practice late one night and Mom told me to go check on Dad out in the barn. I got out there and he was sitting in the clipping room. I asked him how it went and his response was this: “Chez, I blew on that heifer for two hours, I kid you not, but she looks like a water moccasin.” I had no clue what that meant so I just laughed

Sitting down to write this, I didn’t really know where to start, so naturally, I ran around the house looking for every Showtimes issue I could find, to get some inspiration from other exhibitors and champions. The ones that really stuck out for me were written by Calli Ann West, Maddie Caldwell, Mellissa Grimmel, and Leslie Rogers. At first, I couldn’t really figure out why, out of the numerous articles I read, these stuck out. Then as a read them for a second time, I realized that I related to these articles and their stories were similar to my own. So, ladies, thanks for the help!
the next year, we knew we were going to buy one from our good friends at Fawcett’s Elm Creek Ranch. They were having their first online sale and had some really good full sibs to one of our heifers from last year. Since there were so many good ones on that sale, naturally, we all had different opinions on which one was the best. Cagney and I saw them the night of the sale and had our favorite picked out while Mom and Dad had already seen them so they were at another place looking at calves. We had a lot of phone conversations and arguments that night, but it was Mom who finally put the last bid in on lot 3 and bought her. Thanks for that by the way. She arrived at our house at the end of November and I decided to take her to a show before Denver to get her broke a little bit. Danny Fawcett came with me, since my dad had to work a sale that day. Candi was named Supreme Champion Heifer at the Jordan Mack Memorial Show that day, and to be honest, I was more excited about the Showtimes banner I won than the win itself.

highway. By the time I was seven, it was clear to my parents that I wanted to show Herefords and that’s where my passion lied. In 2009, my dad took Cagney and I to the South Dakota Excellence Sale where we continued the tradition of our first calf being a Hereford steer. I picked one out from our neighbors, Schuette Land and Cattle and fell in love instantly. The next year, along with a Hereford steer, my dad bought me a Hereford heifer from Rausch Herefords of Hoven, South Dakota. I named her Sweet Red Wine (I know, classy for an eight year old). I showed her and did well for my first year. However, this heifer’s best days were yet to come as a donor cow. The next few years I had more Hereford steers and begged dad to take me to Hereford Junior Nationals every year. His argument was that it was always too far away. I just went with it because I wasn’t going to argue with him. In 2013, Sweet Red Wine raised the Reserve Champion Polled Heifer at the JNHE. The next year, she raised the Champion Horned Heifer at the JNHE. By this point I was a teenager and was fed up with missing heifers I raised win the only show I’d ever wanted to go to. Naturally, I put my dad in his place and told him we were going to Grand Island the next year, with or without him. We got a couple heifers and went to Junior Nationals. We did well enough that Kenidey and I wanted to go back, and we were lucky enough to raise the Reserve Champion Horned Heifer, also out of Sweet Red Wine.

other seven head. We’ve rinsed twice a day, put hours upon hours working with them and it was Junior Nationals time. Two weeks before Herefords, Mom, Dad, and Cagney left for Missouri for Charolais Junior Nationals while Kenidey, and I stayed
home to work on the Herefords. I knew it was getting to be crunch time so we worked hair a little more, took them out on the lawn a little longer, and rinsed a little extra that week. A short week after Mom, Dad and Cagney returned from Charolais Junior Nationals, we all headed out again. Mom, Dad, Kenidey, and I left for Madison while Cagney left for Des Moines for Simmental Junior Nationals. Kenidey and I did our contests, and participated in showmanship. I had the honor of being named Reserve Champion Intermediate Showman while Kenidey was 6th overall Peewee Showman. After the Showmanship Contest, Mom, Dad, and Kenidey left to go to Des Moines to watch Cagney show. I’m not going to lie, I was freaking out a little bit. Dad had been really particular about how everything had been done all week, so I didn’t want to mess anything up. Thankfully, nothing went wrong and Cagney was chosen 3rd overall Percent Simmental heifer. Mom, Dad, and Kenidey didn’t make it back to Madison until 1:30am the morning of the show. However, they didn’t tell me they were coming back so I got a slightly rude awakening way earlier in the morning than I would’ve liked. Show day was finally here and I was pumped! Slight problem though, I wouldn’t get to show until the very end of the day. This gave every possible worst-case-senario problem set into my head. By the time it was time for me to show, my heart was pounding and I was trying to hide the fact that I was nervous. Before I went in the ring, Dad gave me a hug and told me good luck and then it was go time. I won my class, and then got

ready to go in for division. I knew it was going to be a good division but I never expected it to be as good as it was. Any one of the class winners could’ve won the division and I was really nervous. Finally, he got done talking and came right to me where I was chosen as the Champion Division 5 Horned Heifer. This only added another round of nerves.

too high. He got done on mic and everything from then on felt like it was in slow motion. He took one last look and made his way over to me. My heart was pounding when he gave me that championship slap and tears instantly rushed to my eyes. He shook my hand and gave me a side-hug and I made my way over to my spot. I was a bawling mess and all I could think was, “I wish my big sister was with me to share this moment.” Reserve was picked and we made our way out of the ring. I remember Heidi Anderson giving me the first hug because she was in the ring capturing the whole thing. After that, there were so many hugs, congratulations, and tears for me to remember all of them. When my mom came and gave me a hug and I saw she had her phone in her hand, trying to FaceTime Cagney again. Three calls later, she finally answered and I said, “Cagney why aren’t you here? We finally got our first Junior National win!”
This win truly meant the world to my family and me. It just proves that the endless hours, early mornings, and late nights were worth it. It shows that every time we had to turn down going to the lake, pool, or movie wasn’t for nothing. It means that every helping and guiding hand along the way, was in preparation for this and every other win. I want to say a sincere thank you to everyone who has helped us along the way, there’s too many to name but this win wasn’t just for my family and me, it was for you guys too. Lastly, I want to say thank you to my family. This truly wouldn’t have been possible without them. They allow me to follow my dreams and are completely supportive of everything I do. It’s truly a family thing for us and I have the greatest one by my side. • •

The next day, we got up and did everything as normal as possible. My stomach didn’t feel good and I tried to convince everyone and myself that I ate something bad and it wasn’t the nerves getting to me. The day drug on it seemed, but finally it was time to start dressing her. She’d already been fed and everything, all that was left to do was fit her. Oddly enough, the nerves only lessened from that point on. I knew that everything was as it should be. I had on my favorite jeans and belt, my ring that I always wore, and my #showfornathan bracelet on, I had everything I deemed “lucky” on and I was ready to go. We got her all done and I told the guys that it was time to go. We made the long walk to the collesium, and before I knew it, everyone was telling me good luck and giving me hugs while the last division was in the ring. Since Cagney couldn’t be here, we had her on FaceTime on my mom’s phone. Cagney and I have a tradition where we always do a fist bump before we go in the ring. It was a little tricky to do that via FaceTime but we did and then she made me give all the guys fist bumps too because that’s what she did. After that, I remember going into the ring and I showed Candi to the best of my ability and I knew that’s all I could do at that point. It didn’t feel like we were in there that long, but I honestly don’t know. My adrenaline levels were

Torie Schwartz, on the other hand, is still going strong. Whether it’s officiating a judging contest, competing in the ring, judging a show or tearing down the stalls, you can always spot Torie — dressed to the nines — helping out at a stock show. “I get up, I dress up, and I work hard - just like my mom taught me.” Schwartz said. “There’s a misconception in our industry that if you put a certain amount of effort into how you present yourself, you’re perceived as having your priorities or focus on your looks rather than your work.” It’s that kind of flair and fierce competitiveness that has made Schwartz a standout in the industry. “Torie’s the best dressed in the barn, “said Morgan Meisenheimer, a livestock photographer. “She’s

Walking into the barn at a stock show, you can feel the breeze from the turbo fans, hear the blowers going and smell the bark. And after the barn’s usual morning activity of feeding, working hair and making sure your stocks’ fill is just right, you can find exhibitors and fitters socializing, walking the aisles and checking out the competition — or even taking a cat nap.

confident, but you also can’t help but notice how much she wants to help. She looks great, works hard, and is incredibly friendly. She’s always going to look you in the eye and ask how you are doing, sincere as can be.” One Of The Guys Schwartz’s road to confidence has been a long one, but it all began in the barn. She grew up in Indiana, where her and her mother were surrounded by stockmen — her father and four older brothers. Together, they taught her to hang tough and hold her own. “My brothers were hard on me,” remembers Schwartz. “My Papa Joe would always tell me, ‘you better cowboy up, kid.’ The men in my life pushed me to work hard. Looking back now, it made me tough and because of them, I realized my worth.” Her family established JM Pullets in 2001 — a commercial poultry operation that houses young hens. The poultry facility allowed the Metzger/Schwartz family to continue pursuing their true passion: show cattle. With about 70 cows, the family’s cattle operation, JM Cattle Company run about 70 head, consisting of purebred Shorthorns and club calf genetics. “There was a lot to do and we did it all ourselves. We really had no choice,” Schwartz said. “Work ethic and respect were the two most important characteristics
my parents instilled in all of us, and we acquired these qualities working together as a family.” Road To Success Schwartz was an active member in her FFA Chapter, 4-H group, a director of the Indiana Junior Beef Cattle Association, Vice President of the American Junior Shorthorn Association, and held the 2007-2008 National Shorthorn Lassie Queen title. She continued to follow her passion for the livestock industry in college as a member of the 2008-2009 Black Hawk East livestock judging team and again on the Western Illinois University (WIU) livestock 2010 judging team. While at WIU, Schwartz earned her Bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Business Management with a specialty in sales and marketing. She graduated to work at The Buckle as an Assistant Manager, then went on and joined the National Swine Registry where she eventually became Director of Junior Activities for the National Junior Swine Association, and then began a new career with Cargill Animal Nutrition. Today Schwartz is a manager at Osborn Barr (O+B), an agricultural advertising agency in Kansas City, KS. “I have been blessed to have had so many opportunities in different aspects of the livestock industry, and I owe a lot of this to the junior livestock organizations I was involved with, extracurricular activities I participated in, as well as the educational institutions I attended.”
One of those institutions was WIU, where Mark Hoge is the livestock judging coach. “She had a great presence in the room, but was maybe a little timid,” he said. “But she was obviously from a strong livestock background, was interested in whatever we needed to do to get better, and had mad skills.” Hoge watched as Schwartz stepped up, treating prestigious competitions and menial tasks with equal amounts dedication, determination, and style. “She always looks sharp, but she’s always doing something,” he said. “She will be working, rinsing, blowing, cleaning, picking up manure. She’ll look fancy, but she’ll always be lending a hand.”
“I want to set a good example for young showmen, especially young women in the industry,” Schwartz said. “I think a lot of women are afraid to be who they really are. I encourage young people to be proud of their accomplishments, but also to use those accomplishments as a learning tool for others. Above all, girls, work hard and embrace your beauty. There is no one definition of a ‘cattlewoman,’ so be different. Be you.” •

Paving The Way Although Torie is passionate about her current profession at O+B, she still has big plans for her future in the livestock business. She continues to judge livestock shows, assist in her family’s operation, volunteer at junior events and mentor youth.

JULY/AUG 2016
“There is only one thing that will hold you back in life from being an immediate success, whether that’s in a judging contest or anything in life: self-confidence. We can talk about teaching livestock and teaching science, but I hope the best thing I ever did for Torie was help her develop that selfconfidence to be comfortable in your own skin, to know what you want and to go after it.”

f you are in the livestock show business, chances are you make a lot of sacrifices to be in it. It is also true that with the sacrifice comes some perks that most folks do not have. There are activities done and memories made that most folks could only dream of. One of the blessings of the road is time spent with your family.

SPENDING TIME TOGETHER AS A FAMILY. BY PASTOR RANDY DAVIS, LIMA, OH
HOW WE MET RANDY We met Randy Davis when we visited Lima, Ohio for Maine Junior Nationals back in 2012. He is the Winegardner family's pastor. They had asked him to give a sermon during the show. We were greatly impressed with Randy. Since then, we have listened to his sermons in our office from time to time. When Brad Winegardner came out to Colorado to judge our show we visited about having Randy write a message for our upcoming issues. We hope you enjoy his message!
It is said that, “The family that prays together, stays together.” Here’s another true saying, “The family that eats together and communicates, raises well-adjusted children.” When the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center studied five hundred teenagers, here’s what they discovered: Children whose parents ate dinner with them five times a week or more were the least likely to be on drugs, to be depressed, or to be in trouble with the law. They were also more likely to do well in school, and be surrounded by a supportive circle of friends. Even when families met at a fast food restaurant they got the same results. By contrast the more poorly adjusted teens ate with their parents only three times a week or less. I read this in my devotional “The Word For You Today.” It really challenged me to ask the question, how’s my “Family Time?” How many times a week am I eating with my family? If we honestly reflect on our lives and make necessary adjustments things can get so much better with only a slight schedule change. If coming home at a decent hour to eat with your family meant more

well-adjusted kids, isn’t it worth it? You can always go back to work afterwards and the benefits are real.
How about you? Are you in need of some adjustments in your schedule? Are you giving your family your best time or your leftovers? We can all get better. Our kid’s futures depend on it. Proverbs 22:6 says to Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart
#1 Our kids want us to get this right. They are our biggest cheerleaders. That’s why in elementary school we used terms like “My daddy can beat up your daddy.” Kids want to be proud of their parents. They will push you to help you get better. #2 Kids are resilient. They bounce back quickly when we make changes to get better and do the right things. It’s never too late for adjustments. Make some today. #3 You can do this. Make time for your family! With man it is impossible but with God, all things are possible. Matthew 19:26 Do it today for tomorrow may never come. May God bless and keep you as you travel and help you to make the most of it all. Now I am going fishing with my son and enjoy some family time with him today at the Winegardner Show Cattle family pond. •
271 THE SHOWTIMES
The most important thing you are giving your kids in the show business is time with you. Our kids like stuff, but they love time with us. Are you making the most of that time? Are you really showing up when it is time to eat or is your mind wondering a million other places? One thing my wife has challenged me with was saying I was home, but I wasn’t there. It really hurt at first because I knew she was right. In ministry as a pastor, my life can be very hectic and demands a lot of time. But I too have to turn it off and come home and be a husband and dad. My family deserves my very best. And it takes discipline and a lot of energy. So I have to set boundaries to be the best me I can possibly be.
So as you go through the motions of your training, showing and travelling make sure you are enjoying the best part of being together as a family. What a waste to work so hard and sacrifice so much and miss the best part of this whole thing called life and livestock shows. If you are one of the readers who realizes you may have missed some of this in your family, I want to let you know a couple of things about changes being made.
JULY/AUG 2016
One of the perks of what you get to do is travel. Being on the road and at shows creates some interesting eating environments. Think about one of the most unique meals you ever ate on the road. What’s your favorite restaurant at your state show? How many times have you eaten off of a tack box? But if you are doing it with your family you are making a difference. Let’s face it, when you eat a burger or a steak sandwich next to your prize steer, it is pretty tacky. Jus saying! And the smells of the barn really help all food taste better. I bet I just made some of you have some funny memories of life on the road and eating with your family.
from it. The Message translation says to “Point your kids in the right direction, when they are old they won’t be lost.” Either way you look at it we need to train up our kids and point them in the right direction by how we live. We cannot tell them the right things to do, we must model it for them.

A
BY LUCKY STRIKE SHOW CATTLE, OK
s the owner and operator of Lucky Strike Show Cattle, Jerrod Arthur strives to add value to his product for all customers. In 2011, Jerrod started hosting Lucky Strike Cattle Camp. The camp is a two-day camp held in June at the Lucky Strike facilities in Stillwater, OK. The camp is free to all those 4-H and FFA exhibitors who purchase their cattle from Lucky Strike. The camp is an opportunity for one on one instruction and a chance for
JULY/AUG 2016 285 THE SHOWTIMES
showmen to learn more about many areas of the cattle industry. Campers have a full schedule that includes a showmanship clinic and practice, washing, drying and hair working demo, feeding, daily care and stall set up, leg fitting demo and breaking down and washing out instruction. In between the demos, campers have to take a written general cattle knowledge quiz, cattle ID quiz and a breed ID quiz. Thanks to the help of great sponsors, Jerrod provides breakfast, lunch and dinner to the campers and their parents. Each camper is provided a camp t-shirt and at the end of the camp, campers are provided a variety of
give-away prizes including show supplies, hats, jackets and equipment. The goal of the camp is to help exhibitors learn more about the cattle industry, how to best care for their animals and hone in their showmanship skills. Each year there have been 15-20 campers participate in the camp, and this year there were 24 campers ranging in age from 8 to 17 years old. Some campers are first time showmen and some have shown for several years. The camp also provides the opportunity for more experienced exhibitors to mentor the newer showmen. •

BY MATT POPELKA, TX
2. I am mortified of... our nation without God and Guns. 3. If you had to have another profession, it would be... rattlesnake rancher or squatch hunter. 4. If I could stay one age for my entire life it would be... 31 years old. I would be old enough to know better, but still to young to care. 5. If I could describe myself in three words they would be... Magik, passionate, servant. 6. One person I aspire to be the most like is... Jesus.
7. If I could have dinner with anyone it would be... Bill Snyder and Sugar (my wife).
13. My number one goal in life is to... be the best husband and dad I can be.
8. The best memory I have is... my daughter at the Houston rodeo with a CPR shorthorn.
14. My favorite show is... cowtown.
9. One talent I wish I had is... to play the guitar better. 10. My greatest accomplishment is... over coming addictions and walking closer to him. 11. One food I will not eat even if I was stranded on a seserted island is... Romanian sausage... if it looks and smells like a turd... 12. In my opinion, the best thing ever invented was... football.
15. If I could have one super power it would be... making folks laugh! - God bless kids and cows.

BEHIND THE COMPANY
THE HISTORY OF WILLOUGHBY SALES AND CALDWELL-WILLOUGHBY CATTLE SALES. BY KATIE BARNETT, WILLOUGHBY SALES
Sales, The Pig Planet Auctions and theHorseAuction.com.
hat started as an idea to bridge the gap between livestock producers and showmen soon became a reality for owner Dan Willoughby. Dan, wife Carol, and son Justin, reside in Sheridan, Indiana where they run the successful Willoughby Sales. Dan was born in rural Indiana where his family raised production and 4-H calves, along with his grandfather’s standard bred horses. Late nights and early mornings lead to a passion in the livestock industry. Because of the mentorship of his high school ag teacher, Alan Myers, Dan put his passion, competitive drive and eagerness into his current career. Willoughby Sales is now the launching platform for Willoughby Sales, Caldwell Willoughby
In 1995, Dan and Carol decided to make their long-time passion a hobby. Dan attended Auctioneers’ school in Lubbock, Texas. After hosting private treaty sales for a few years, the first Premier 10 and Midwest Elite Show and Sale was held in 1997. Now, in it’s current season, is the nation’s largest sheep prospect weekend. In 2005, after a long weekend in Oklahoma, Willoughby Sales was born. Many hours of ideas and concepts and many miles later, Mike Crowder, Matthew Hayes and Dan had signed to be early movers of the online auction industry. “We are truly grateful to those who took a leap of faith in this platform as this facet of our organization has grown exponentially over the past years,” stated Dan. With exponential growth in the sheep industry, Dan and longtime friend Todd Caldwell joined forces in 2011 to create Caldwell Willoughby Online Cattle Sales. Neither
of these men imagined the skyrocketing growth that was about to take place when this adventure started. In April of 2011, Todd and Dan make the trip to South Dakota where Todd’s salesmanship and business connections helped to solidify the interest in the online sale platform for the cattle industry.
In 2013 Dan and Carol started the first futurity show. At the time, breeders nominated lambs to be eligible to show. In 2016, any animal that was sold in an online sale was eligible to participate. Show equipment was given out as premiums, and monetary prizes to the grand champion and reserve grand champions. Today, Willoughby Sales is on pace to do approximately 2,000 sales in 2016. They reach four species: sheep, goats, pigs and cattle. For any further questions, or to book your next sale, the office at 317-340-6392, or email us at Becky@wlivestock.com. •

What moves people has become a complex concept as the generations continue to revolve. With the changing times came changes in media marketing. Willoughby Sales is marketed on all social media sites; Facebook, Twitter and Wlivestock.com, and has the capabilities of live streaming shows and sales. “We are set apart because of our live presence,” said Dan, “the cost factor and convenience is a main reason for us to do business online.”
JULY/AUG 2016
Today, Willoughby Sales and Caldwell-Willoughby Cattle Sales, alongside other species components, is a livestock marketing and promotion company. The area of expertise is the promotion and marketing of specialty livestock animals, both breeding and show quality of cattle, sheep, hogs and goats. “The market has continued to adapt and change,” says Willoughby, “people have grown very comfortable with the format and seem to enjoy shopping from the comfort of their own home. When this all began we simply wanted to continue being engaged in the show animal industry. At the time, I am not sure we could have imagined how much the company would help shape and impact the livestock and show animal industry.” Through Willoughby’s 26+ years of experience he has developed a “sixth sense” for promotion and what “moves” people.

You have got to be kidding me, it’s State Fair time again! It seems like it was just yesterday that I was hunting and pecking on this keyboard doing the State Fair article for 2015. In a sense, I guess that’s a good thing. We’ve survived another year. The Junior Nationals are behind us and the State Fairs are upon us - ready or not, here they come. I for one am ready. That means one thing… it is time to start planning on where to eat!!!! I’m throwing you a little curve this time. I’m sharing one of my favorite places to eat when I layover in Rolla, Missouri. I normally don’t like to eat a chain restaurant all you can eat buffet, but this place is the exception. I’m talking about the “Sirloin Stockade” in Rolla. This place is a surefire, hasn’t missed yet, place to dine. I have been in this place with 15 minutes left until closing and they are still putting out fresh food and salads on the salad bar. The first time I ate here I made the mistake of ordering a steak along with the buffet. Long story short, I couldn’t eat it due to the fact that the buffet was so good. Plus, there is ample parking for pickups and trailers! Heading North from Rolla I’d like to share a can’t miss place in Des Moines, Iowa with you. That would be “The Monterrey Mexican Restaurant.” I’m pretty picky about Mexican food (some people say I’m not picky about any food), but this place has never let me down. I try to order something different off the menu every time I go there. From the fajitas and enchiladas to the tacos, this place is plain awesome. The prices and portions are very stock show friendly for a group of kids, the parking
is great and the service is even better. I warned you that I was throwing you a little curve this time. Heading West on Interstate 80 the next stop is in Grand Island, Nebraska. My last little stay here turned up a delicious discovery and that would be ‘Pam’s Pub & Grub.” What a relief to find a place that has a fried chicken buffet on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Along with all the trimmings it also has a great salad bar to top it off with. I was so impressed I had to make a couple more visits just to order off the menu. I can safely say the burgers and the chicken fried steak were well worth the effort. This place has ample seating and parking to go along with generous portions and affordable prices on the menu. Folks we’re still headed west. This brings us to a place that CJ Altenburg (Transwest) chose to share with me along with reinforcements from Laurie Reid. That would be ”The Mill Stop Café” in Pueblo, Colorado. Both parties agreed this was the got to go to place. With a very diverse menu from the beef stuffed sopapillas, the El Burrito, and the chicken tacos, to the homemade salsas and the guacamole, this place has something for everybody. If you can find your way there when they are open with the Monday through Friday schedule, it does limit some patrons from partaking near the little jewel. Until next time, safe travels and don’t be stingy! Feel free to share some of your favorite eateries. Don’t forget to look us up on the Showtimes App for places we have shared in the past. •

Madi Shults pulls off a rare repeat as High Individual Overall at the 2016 Colorado 4-H Livestock Judging State Contest.
LIVESTOCK JUDGING
for her state title, three new silver buckles, three handsome plaques, and her third scholarship from the CSU Animal Science Department. Madi followed her older sister, Maclaine, down the judging road in 2007. She didn’t have much of a choice, really. She liked traveling and she seemed to like judging a little, so she kept at it for the next 9 years.
Last season, Madi won six county invitational livestock judging contests, the state contest and was a member of the 2015 CO 4-H State Champion Team as well. She finished 3rd overall at the Aksarben Invitational in Omaha and finished 23rd overall at the National 4-H Contest in Louisville, KY this last November. Madi will continue on the junior college level on scholarship at South Plains College in Levelland, TX. So, time will tell what the future holds for this talented young woman. She has been an outstanding Colorado 4-H/FFA member and will be missed. •

Madi finished in the top three in every category. She placed third overall in Beef. She was the “first loser” in Sheep/Goats and Placings. But, she won the Swine division, Reasons and most importantly, Madi finished as the High Individual Overall for the second season in a row. Colorado 4-H allows individuals to continue judging even if they were past members of a state champion team that competed at the National 4-H contest. In most states, if you enter the National Contest in Louisville, your judging career is over until college no matter if your 14 or 19. In order to keep the talented judges motivated to continue, Colorado 4-H has opted to allow 4-H judges affected by “winning circumstances” to remain in the game as individual competitors. She was awarded a banner from Showtimes Magazine
JULY/AUG 2016
adi Shults recently concluded her Colorado 4-H Livestock Judging career at the State Contest which was held on June 22, 2016 at Colorado State hosted by Clay Carlson, Head Coach of the CSU Livestock Judging Team. Clay and his team put together a well thought out, challenging, straightforward contest.
She’s made the Colorado 4-H Livestock Judging All State team since 2010. In 2012 she won the Jr. Division Cattle Judging Title at the NCBA Convention in Nashville, TN. She was also a member of the 2013 Reserve Champion Colorado FFA Livestock Judging team which was chosen to advance to the National FFA Contest where she finished as a Gold Individual, 13th overall in the nation as a freshman. 2014 was tough as it was the first season not having her sister as a teammate who went on to judge for Redlands Community College. But, Madi collected a buckle or two that year and got ready for 2015.

JULY/AUG 2016 387 THE SHOWTIMES
edication, perseverance and a little luck was involved with the Weld County Judging Team’s recent success at the Colorado State 4-H Conference. With guidance from coaches: Steve and Christie Gabel, Kayla Frink, Emma Vickland and Kyndal Reitzenstein, the team was able to win every division in the contest which propelled them to a 54-point advantage for high team overall. Team members and individual success included: Jenna Frink, 2nd high individual and oral reasons, Austin Reitzenstein, 3rd high individual and oral reasons, Ashlyn Ochsner, 7th high individual, Bo Naibauer and Jake Patton. The team has been practicing since March to achieve this long-term goal and are very fortunate for the success they have had thus far. This Weld County Judging Team is the last team that coaches Steve and Christie Gabel will have the opportunity to coach. The team is excited to make one last run at the North American International Livestock Exposition contest in Louisville, Kentucky in November. •

grew up on a diversified livestock enterprise in Woodstock, OH consisting of Show Cattle, Standardbred Racehorses and Quarter Horses.
JULY/AUG 2016
However, my initial venture into showing livestock was much different than what you may have expected. When I was old enough to start 4-H, I told my parents that I wanted to show a turkey (hold back the chuckles). Fortunately, they didn’t let that happen. Although, what happened that next fall, changed my life forever.

I remember it like it was yesterday; we finished dinner and my dad asked me to go feed his mares that were in the barn. At 10 years old you can imagine that I would have been much more enthusiastic about going to watch cartoons or making a mess of something. As I reluctantly drug my feet to the barn, I had a feeling that something was a little odd because I saw the mares still standing outside and there was some new feed in the barn. When I looked over the horse stall railing, I saw a roan Shorthorn steer calf lying in the sawdust. I couldn’t help but smile. Unknowingly to me, my dad was about ten feet behind me grinning from ear to ear. For the next three years, I showed steers at the county fair. It didn’t matter what they looked like, as long as they were shorthorns. In the fall of 2006, I did a little searching on the Internet and found a catalog for the Ohio shorthorn sale. I begged and begged my parents to take me. After some negotiating, they finally agreed. Dad and I took our 97 Ford pickup and two-horse bumper pull trailer to Eaton, OH for the sale. We really didn’t know what to look for, but we marked a couple down and found a stool along the wall up next to the sale block to sit on. Dad bid on a few heifers, but most of them were out of our price range. As the last lot came in the ring I nudged him and told him there weren’t any heifers left to sell and he calmly stated, “I know” and smiled. We bought the last heifer in the sale and, of course, she was the cheapest and the only one that wasn’t halter broke. That’s how I started my cow herd. From there, I continued to go to Shorthorn sales and became active in our state Shorthorn association. I also

Lastly, I have so many people to thank for helping me get to where I am today. First and foremost, being God and my family. There is no way any of this would be possible without their support. Don’t be scared to go out and chase your dreams, but remember to take care of the people that helped you along the way. I am the oldest of six kids so as many of you can imagine, it’s no easy task getting everyone to ball games, practices, and 4-H meetings, while operating a business, and taking care of the farm. Mom and Dad, you’re Rockstars and I love you. “You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.” – Walt Disney. If there is anything I can do for you, feel free to contact me. I would encourage any high school aged or junior college student to schedule a visit here at The Ohio State University and see what we have to offer. I can assure you, great things are coming. I would also like to extend a special thank you to The Showtimes team for asking me to put together this article; they are great people with vision and wicked talent. •

As an alumnus of Black Hawk East College and Western Illinois University, I owe a great deal of my success to the people who mentored, coached, and educated me while I was apart of these programs. My goal is to instill some of the same values I learned into my teaching and coaching responsibilities at The Ohio State University. What excites me the most about this position is that it has given me the opportunity to get back to my roots and the scenery I love. Most importantly, this position allows me to give back to the youth that will someday be leaders in our organizations and throughout our industry. I want to provide young people with opportunities to further themselves in whatever their passion may be. I am incredibly excited about the opportunity I have to make an impact on the students at The Ohio State University, and the program as a whole. After judging in my last contest in Junior college, Dan Hoge told the team, “This is not the end, your roles have simply changed”. I didn’t sink in at first, but as this opportunity began to develop, I knew exactly what he meant.
The Ohio State University has a long-standing tradition in the Livestock Judging circle. The first team was started in 1903 with Charles Plumb and they have had a team every year there was a contest. Since their start in 1903, they have won the national contest 9 times. Some the most nationally renowned judges have coached teams and taught coursework at the University such as Herman Purdy and D.j. Kays.

participated in Jr. nationals and the state fair throughout the rest of my junior career. For my family, a lot has changed since 2006. Over the last 10 years we have diversified our breeding program. Currently, we run a 30 head, multi breed, cow herd consisting of Shorthorn, Simmental, Angus, and crossbreds. We also work with local producers to lease around 25 recip cows for our embryo transplant needs.

PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESS:
ATTITUDE
®
LODESTAR GUIDANCE BY WEAVER LEATHER LIVESTOCK
WHAT IS ATTITUDE? Attitude is the power to stay positive despite the circumstances, so the way you approach your next big show can have a powerful effect on the results you will see. Remain positive, optimistic and hopeful, and your attitude will be contagious to those around you. Having a negative attitude will make your show day more difficult, a lot less fulfilling, and people may choose to avoid you.
412
Things don’t always go as planned with your livestock projects and you may not always win. How you react and handle these tough situations shows a lot about your character and the effect you have on others. After all, you learn just as much from losing as you do from winning. MAKE A CHOICE: You can choose to be
positive or choose to be negative. When you accept responsibility for your attitude, you can see every experience as an opportunity to learn and grow.
BE IN CONTROL: Do you know someone who
always has a poor attitude, blames others or plays the victim? Do you enjoy being around that person? You control the effect others have on you.
CONTRIBUTE TO OTHERS: Next time you
see someone upset after a class, try to encourage and compliment that person. You will make the day a little brighter for both of you.
LEARN: www.lodestar-guidance.com SHARE: #morethanthebanner and #attitude OTL062016AR-1
DON’T BLAME OTHERS: When things don’t go your way in the ring, it’s easy to blame others or make excuses. Doing this causes you lose control of the situation and the ability to choose a positive attitude. DON’T LET EXHAUSTION BRING YOU DOWN: You work long and hard getting your animals ready for show day, and it can be exhausting. Allow yourself time to rest and relax so your positive attitude isn’t wiped out.
DON’T REPEAT YOUR MISTAKES: Practice makes permanent. When you practice choosing a good attitude, controlling your environment and encouraging others, you’ll find being positive is much easier.

2016 OLYMPIC GAMES. BY LARRY WILSON, IL
The important thing is not to Win; but to take part! That quote is from Pierre de Coubertin, the “father of the modern Olympic Games”, and founder of the International Olympic Committee. As we move full throttle into show season with junior nationals along with county and state fairs, that quote resonates! The IMPORTANT thing is not to Win; but to take part.
419 THE SHOWTIMES
While I am not an athlete, I will be “taking part”…in The Road To Rio and the 2016 Olympic Games! I’ve had the opportunity to volunteer with the US Olympic Committee and Team Processing since Chicago first announced its bid to host the Games in 2016. In 2011, my first experience was team processing for the PanAm Games, held in Guadalajara, Mexico. Since that time I have volunteered with the London Games; the Sochi Games; and the Pan American Games

The mission of Olympic Spirit is “to build a peaceful and better world in the Olympic Spirit which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play. The Olympic Spirit strives to inspire and motivate the youth of the world to be the best they can be through educational and entertaining interactive challenges. The Olympic Spirit seeks to instill and develop the values and ideals of Olympism in those who visit and to promote tolerance and understanding in these increasingly troubled times in which we live; to make our world a more peaceful place.

last summer in Toronto. Team processing is just one of the steps the US Athletes take in getting to the Games. During team processing, Athletes receive their credentials for competing; have their official photographs taken; do media interviews; and receive clothing and gear such as podium wear; and casual wear, all the way down to the shoes and socks; including watches, rings and sun glasses. My role over the past two events has been at the “point of
sale”; where the athletes check out and confirm receipt of their gear. Working with the athletes is a great experience, as you can imagine. However hearing their stories is where the rewards are found. Like the Paralympian in route to Sochi. Sitting in the hotel lobby after team processing. He’d lost the lower portion of his body in a semi/dock accident. His face lit up as he described how limiting his “old” body had been and the freedom and abilities his “new’

Aja Evans US Bobsled Sochi.
I recall, working team processing in Munich, Germany with athletes in route to Sochi. I was assisting a young lady who was wearing a HUGE ring on a gold chain around her neck. Her name was Katie; her sport was Skeleton. One could not miss the ring, and I commented and complemented her on it. (It was her dad’s ring from the National League Pennant, 1972.) She responded by saying: “and that’s a pretty cool ring you have on, is that a Cow engraved on it, (referring to a silver friendship ring a friend had given me a few years ago.) That led to our discussion of farms, cows, 4-H/FFA and show rings. Fast forward a month later. I am reading the Guidepost Magazine (February 2014); and come across the story of Katie Uhlaender; her discovery of the Skeleton sport; her challenges, her support from her family, and dad, (Ted Uhlaender, major league baseball player for the Twins, Indians and Reds); her second place finish at the World Cup championship; and the news that followed her podium appearance… her father had passed two hours earlier. She still competes
along with spending time on her dad’s farm and wears his ring as a constant reminder of his encouragement; his tenacity; and his spiritual support of her goals. As I share this story my mind comes back to upcoming livestock shows across the country, and how the Olympians I have met during team processing remind me of the exhibitors I have worked with over the years. We all have our own stories to tell; those who inspire us; encourage us and are with us, if only in spirit. If we take the “Olympic Spirit” and make use of that Olympic Spirit; “mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play” and “to inspire and motivate the youth of the world to be the best they can be through educational and entertaining interactive challenges.”; think what an opportunity we can create! As de Coubertin put it…”the important thing is not to Win; but to take part!” I’ll be there “taking part”; at the US Olympic Committee Team Processing and, at the Illinois State Fair; Jr and Open Beef Shows and the Jr and Open Beef Shows, Du Quoin State Fair! •

THE SHOWTIMES WELCOMES KENDALL BREMER TO OUR HALL OF FAME!
KENDALL BREMER HALL OF FAME
remer Show Cattle got its official start in 2003, after Kendall Graduated from Iowa State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Agricultural Business. Even though Bremer Show Cattle took off in 2003, Kendall’s start in the show cattle world began at birth. His family has been raising elite Maine-Anjou seed-stock since the 70’s. He got his first taste of “Major” success in 1992, showing K & A Chelsea, a black Maine-Anjou female with white legs, to the Grand Champion spot at the North American. Ever since his first big taste of success, he has been hooked on Freedom Hall and the feeling of Victory when showing cattle at the most elite and competitive show in the Country. Since that start, Bremer Show Cattle has had a hand in over 100 Grand or Reserve Grands at the 3 Major Shows: i.e. the American Royal in Kansas City, the NAILE in Louisville, and the National Western in Denver. Right out of college, he started working for K and A, in addition to buying and reselling a few other females. This was to make a little extra money and the business took off from there. At that time, they were selling around 30 females a year with the majority being Maine-Anjou and Maintainer cattle. Several years ago Kendall realized that if they were going to stay successful, two major things were going to need to happen: 1) They would scour the country side for elite females that could be brought home to
satisfy the clienteles’ demand for success and 2) diversification would be key to growing the program. Everybody likes to win, but not everybody can. This is true especially if all the cattle sold are showing in the same division. The Bremer program has now been selling over 100 head a year with over 10 breeds being represented. The cow herd has become diversified as well. They run 120 cows, with more than half being recipient cows that are utilized in an extensive embryo program. He believes that sexed and sexing of semen

is the future of raising elite show cattle. Currently about half of the matings are for show steers and the other half are for seed stock. The impact from the majority of cattle being produced for the targeted sex will have a huge economic impact on the whole industry. “My favorite part about this whole business is watching the youth of the country grow up and get ready for the real world showing cattle” Kendall says, “No other activity will teach a youngster life lessons like showing a calf. “ Selling 100 head of show heifers a year is going to slow down in the future as Kendall transitions into the family life. By the time this article is printed, a wedding will have taken place, and Kendall will have married Jessica Street. Bremer Show Cattle will gain some long term members, and Kendall can’t wait to watch the children grow up showing livestock. Kendall would like to add another 80 cows to the program in the future and looks to start a bred heifer sale with RJ Cattle Company from South Dakota. Look for the sale to be in Dunlap, Iowa around the first of December. He will have at least 2 online sales this fall and one next spring with a few of the show heifers being offered on a first come basis. When asked what his favorite win is he couldn’t come up with one. “There are several big wins and they all hold a special place in my heart. The biggest win is no question Supreme Female in the Junior Show at the North American last fall. Now we just need to do it with one we raise.” Kendall attributes his success to the guidance and work ethic of his father. “Dad is a major part of this and he makes everything go. It doesn’t matter if we are talking about breeding decisions or jumping in the pickup to go look at one that’s going to cost too much, we do it all together. The business I grew up in was a family business and this will continue be just that.”
He would like to thank all of his many customers that put their faith in him for calf selection and guidance over the years. “I’m pretty lucky to have had the customer base we do. No question, I get to work with the best kids and families in the business. Thanks will never be enough for all they do for me. When you sign up at Bremer Show Cattle you buy more than a calf, you join a family!” •

he Handshake is the moment we all live for. I think we can all agree that when that judge comes to shake your hand and tells you that you won the show it truly is one of the best feelings in the world. Well I certainly think so anyway, which is why showing cattle has become such an enormous pert of my life. From the first time I lead a feeder calf in the ring at the Plymouth County Fair when I was four years old, I was hooked. Ever since my life has truly revolved around it, from early mornings at the show to late nights in the barn if it involves show cattle, count me in. My hobbies outside of show cattle include photography, helping with our sale, and spending time with family and friends.

I fell in love with show cattle at an early age. I started showing feeder calves when I was about four years old and have since competed at local, state, and national levels. Even though I have had a lot of success in the show ring it will never compare to the friends and memories I have made in the livestock industry. The things I have learned from the livestock industry will definitely last a lifetime. When I started showing I would never have imagined I would accomplish some of the things I have. Showing has also changed me as a person. When I first started showing I was a very shy little girl who wouldn’t talk to most people. The livestock industry has taught me how to go up to almost anyone and have a conversation with them. The livestock industry has also taught me other things like hard work, dedication, and the pride in a job well done, because when that judge shakes your hand you know that it was all worth it and you can’t wait to start over for the next show or the next year of shows. Showing cattle is an enormous magnificent part of my life and it always will be. The friends I have made will last a lifetime and I don’t know what I would do with out them. From being in the ring to standing on the sidelines taking pictures there truly is nothing better than life at a stock show. •

CLASS BREAKS
FROM THE BEGINNING
Colorado became a state in 1876 and before the Colorado flag flew high, the State Fair was already earning its place in history. In 1869, approximately 2,000 people converged on what is now Pueblo for a horse exhibition; and from that meager beginning was born the Colorado State Fair. The Fair continues to call Pueblo home, and in fact, has only cancelled once during its entire history. In 1917, during World War I, the Fairgrounds’ horse stables and open space offered an ideal training facility for the Army National Guard. Since then, the Colorado State Fair has developed into the largest summer event in the State and offers families a fun, educational summer vacation!

MAKING COLORADO
TIM SCHULTZ
RUSTLER, RANCHER AND COMMUNITY LEADER.

JULY/AUG 2016
BY MARISA POOLEY
THE SHOWTIMES

Grand Junction native and one of the original founders of the Denver Rustlers—a group which annually invests in the junior livestock sale at the Colorado State Fair—Tim Schultz has supported young farmers and ranchers for more than three decades. Schultz has served as president and executive director of the Boettcher Foundation since 1996, and will retire in July 2017. During his 20 years, Schultz has focused on working with the dynamic thinkers and leaders who propel Colorado forward and helping local citizens make a difference across the state. Prior to that, Schultz served in a variety of public service roles, including commissioner of Rio Blanco county, executive director of the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, chairman of the Colorado Wildlife Commission and commissioner of agriculture. As a state employee, Schultz recognized the need to bring rural
and urban communities together to innovatively solve the state’s issues. He designed a program of community development for Colorado’s small towns, and led statewide initiatives to encourage the local food movement, including initiating some of the state’s first farmers’ markets. Schultz’s vision helped rural farmers from Palisade, Rocky Ford and other areas to sell their products along the Front Range. Throughout his career, Schultz aimed to support young farmers and ranchers, becoming a founding member of the Denver Rustlers. Schultz and his fellow founders, Larry A. Mizel and Dick Robinson, saw that a lack of funding, combined with the economic downturn might shut down the Junior Livestock Sale at the Colorado State fair. As a result, they rallied friends and colleagues to attend the state fair and invest in the hard working 4-H and FFA exhibitors.
For 32 years, the Denver Rustlers have worked hard to ensure that youth participants in 4-H and FFA would still have an avenue to sell the livestock they raised, thereby supporting their futures. Since its inception, Denver Rustlers visits the state fair annually and has raised more than $2.8 million to help Colorado’s young farmers and ranchers earn money for their education. “Being from a rural town and a ranch, I understood how much work these young people put into caring for their animals,” said Schultz. “It has always been important to me to make sure they get a fair price for their livestock.” Schultz has supported dozens of junior livestock exhibitors, including

Matt Peterson from Sanford, who would later become a Boettcher Scholar. As a young exhibitor at the state fair, Matt and his pig were the last to go through the sale ring.
“While I love the junior livestock sale and supporting young presenters, I also love the state fair because it is a celebration of so many great things
Schultz’s appreciation for smallbusiness owners, hard work and giving back to rural communities stemmed from his childhood experiences working in his parents’ bakery on the Western Slope. Later, he attended Colorado Mesa University and Colorado State University and soon after became a rancher and banker in Meeker. Because of his commissioner of agriculture days, Schultz still loves visiting Colorado’s unique rural communities. He is known for being a walking atlas, and for giving the best directions and restaurant advice in every town. Schultz is an avid outdoorsman, and has been organizing elk hunts in the woods for 40 years. He also enjoys traveling with his wife, Debbie, and spending time with his five kids and eight grandkids. •

105 E Riverwalk, Pueblo, CO 81003 719.544.8588 This great restaurant was brought to our attention a few year’s ago by Travis DePorter. Not only does it have great pizza, but you can sit near the riverwalk in Pueblo! Plus, it’s only minutes from the Colorado State Fair grounds! Our Favorite Pepperoni Pizza About the Restaurant In our family, making pizza has been a tradition and we have been passing it on through generations. It started in the kitchen and ended around the dinner table. We began our small family business in 1964 in Brooklyn, New York. Since moving to Colorado in 1992, we continued doing what we love. Angelo’s is a full service pizza parlor. We follow our family’s recipes very carefully, making sure to keep them original and above all, consistent. Every generation of our family has loved the same thing… preparing a meal for anyone willing to sit down and try it. We start with a freshly tossed crust and our special-recipe pizza sauce. We then add 100% real cheese, fresh vegetables, and premium lean meats for a flavor that can’t be beat. To achieve the best flavor possible our pizza’s are baked to perfection in our brick oven!

Years later, Matt was able to thank Tim in person at his interview for the Boettcher Scholarship. He received the full-ride scholarship, which allowed him to use the money from his state fair livestock sale to buy himself a computer for college and a car so he could visit his family on weekends.
In fact, while Schultz was commissioner of agriculture, he earned accolades as both the “celebrity cake decorating champion” and “celebrity homemade ice cream champion.”

“Most people had already done their buying and left. There were fewer than 10 people at that point in the day,” said Matt. “When Tim saw that no one was bidding on my animal— after they lowered the price twice— he turned to the auctioneer and said ‘that looks like a mighty fine pig and a mighty fine boy,’ and then bought my animal.”

GET READY FOR THE 2016 IOWA STATE FAIR
The Showtimes is excited to return to the Iowa State Fair this summer! We will have Showtimes Day on August 17th where we will have surprise give-aways. Plus we will be covering the 2016 Iowa State Fair with show videos, photos and news updates on theshowtimesmagazine.com and on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vimeo, App and on Snapchat! The State Fair is Iowa’s largest event, annually attracting visitors from all over the Midwest, as well as the rest of the U.S. and many foreign countries. Following the Fair, daily attendance estimates are set aside and an actual count of tickets including daily sales, advance sales, exhibitors, concessionaires, campers, children, credentials, half price, etc. is made to determine the final total attendance. Historically, the Fair ended on the Sunday one week before Labor Day and the earliest Fair dates were August 13-23. In 1994, the Iowa State Fair Board, in an effort to avoid earlier school start dates, moved the dates of the Fair up one week. The Fair now ends on the Sunday two weeks prior to Labor Day. Based on calendar shifts, the earliest Fair dates are August 7-17 and the latest are August 13-23.

Former owner Pigneri, as well as Tursi’s parents, hailed from Terravecchia, Italy before immigrating to the United States. To this day, their Italian heritage shines through in the restaurant’s signature dishes. Tursi’s first experience in the restaurant business came while he was 16 and working at the Crystal Tree restaurant. He purchased Latin King when he was 21 and at age 48 has over 30 years of industry experience under his belt. “I’m full-blooded Italian and my father instilled a good work ethic in me and the pride that goes with having a good family name.” The Latin King continues to honor the Tursi family name and is regarded as the “best Italian restaurant” by local press and dining enthusiasts.

HISTORY
The first official Kansas State Fair was held September 13-20, 1913. Although fair gatherings and events began taking root back in January of 1873 when the prairie town of Hutchinson was barely one year old. On September 23-24 that year, the society hosted a fair which was held in a small wooden livery stable behind the town’s only bank on the nortwest corner of Sherman and Main.
MISSION STATEMENT
“To promote and showcase Kansas agriculture, industry and culture, to create opportunity for commercial activity, and to provide an educational and entertaining experience that is the pride of all Kansans.”
• The Kansas State Fair is the largest single event in the state. The fair annually attracts approximately 350,000 people from all 105 Kansas counties and several other states. • The Fair was greatly influenced by World War II. There were booths at which fairgoers could buy war bonds and stamps. “Scrap Day” was declared during the 1942 Fair - over 32 tons of metal to aid the War effort were collected by offering free adult admission for 100 pounds and a free childs admission for 50 pounds.

A GREAT EVENT
T
DYLAN PREVIEWS THE 2016 KANSAS STATE FAIR! BY DYLAN EVANS, KS
he Kansas State Fair is an action packed event that always occurs on
the second weekend of September. This year it begins Friday, September 9. Each year on Thursday night before the opening day, the Kansas State Fair Foundation Board hosts “Boots and Bling,” a party to kick off the festivities. The annual event began in 2006 and serves as a fundraiser for the beautification and restoration of the Kansas State Fairgrounds. Most recently, a large portion of the funds that were raised contributed to the restoration of the “White House” which is a historical fixture on the fairgrounds open for tours. The event always has a new and exciting theme from a western barn party to this year’s Mexican fiesta. The auction features some great items such as oil paintings, tickets to concerts or sporting events,
fantastic hunting retreats, and one of the most popular items- tickets to the Country Music Awards! Many people look forward to this event, which starts the fair off in style. The 4-H and FFA livestock shows take place in a matter of three days and is a fast and furious eventespecially for those exhibitors with multiple species. Showmanship is held on Friday night, and all of the market shows begin bright and early on Saturday morning. It is not unusual to see exhibitors dashing from one barn to another to make it to all of their classes. Breed champions are selected throughout the day, but the main event does not happen until the evening. The Midwest Ford’s Grand Drive takes

Prior to the selection of the Supreme Bull and Supreme Female in the cattle barn there is a ceremony to recognize the year’s newest Wall of Honor member. Each year the Kansas State Fair Foundation chooses someone who has somehow contributed to the success of the fair, Kansas livestock, or Kansas
In addition to livestock, there are many other 4-H and FFA exhibits to view. Many people walk through the exhibition buildings to see the hard work of the Kansas youth. Of course, it wouldn’t be a State Fair without endless options of fried food, games, and shopping, and the selection does not disappoint. Aside from anything “fried” that you can think of, some of the more popular items include: homemade ice cream, cereal crusted chicken, and stuffed cucumbers. There is a lot of ground to cover if you want to see everything that the fair has to offer, and Kansas September weather can still be quite warm. Many people take time to cool off in the Beer or Wine Gardens. There you can find shade and in the evenings there is live entertainment. The Kansas State Fair also offers a great selection of concerts in the evenings from Kenny Rogers and Carrie Underwood to Foreigner and REO Speedwagon The fair is truly a great event where everyone can find something that interests them whether it’s livestock, food, games, music, old cars, or anything in between. Make plans to head to Hutchinson someday for all of your food, family, and agriculture interests! •

The morning after the conclusion of the market shows, the excitement continues with the breeding animal shows. Again, all species show at the same time; however, each grand drive is held in their own arena immediately after the last breed champion is chosen. As with the market animals, there are set cash prizes for the top 5 breeding animals. After the conclusion of the junior shows, all of the open show cattle move in, and show the following weekend. After the conclusion of the breed champion selections there is a Supreme chosen.

place in the Prairie Pavilion where the Top 5 market animals for each species are chosen while the stands are packed with exhibitors, families, and other spectators. If you want to go, you definitely need to get there early because it is standing room only. During the grand drive ceremony the top showmanship exhibitors are recognized and one lucky exhibitor gets their name pulled out of a hat to win the free use of a trailer for a year. There is not a sale for the market animals, but the top 5 animals do receive cash awards. The Grand and Reserve Grand of each species are taken to a barn on the fairgrounds and are put on display for the duration of the fair.

HISTORY
After four years of territorial fairs, the first Minnesota State Fair was held in 1859 near what became downtown Minneapolis. This was a year after Minnesota was granted statehood. During the fair’s early years, the site of the exposition changed annually with stops in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Rochester, Red Wing, Winona and Owatonna. In the 1870s and early 1880s, civic groups from both St. Paul and Minneapolis worked relentlessly to provide a permanent home for the fair in their respective cities. In 1885, the Minnesota State Fair finally found a permanent home at its present location, mid-way between Minneapolis and St. Paul. Since its inception, the fair has been held every year with only five exceptions: in 1861 and 1862 due to the Civil War and Dakota Indian Conflict, in 1893 because of scheduling conflicts with the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, in 1945 due to war-time fuel shortages, and in 1946 due to a polio epidemic.
• If measured by laying them end to end, 35 miles of foot long hot dogs are sold at the State Fair each year. • During a typical year, 26,000 gallons of milk are served at the All-You-CanDrink Milk booth. • 5 U.S. presidents have visited the State Fair at one time during their life: Coolidge, Eisenhower, Harding, Teddy Roosevelt & Taft.

TITLE HERE
Since the first Fair in 1901, thousands of Missouri families have made the annual “pilgrimage” to Sedalia. Despite numerous differences, the Fair exhibitors of 1901 and today share an important common element. That common denominator is competition – the desire to put your efforts against your neighbor’s best.
LOGO
Since the first State Fair, the reward has been ribbons, premium money and recognition. But the long-term effect of this healthy competition has been a steady improvement in Missouri’s agriculture, agribusiness, domestic arts and, today, even fine arts. From 1901 to today, the Missouri State Fair has been a barometer of the state’s economic health and a documentary of the history of Missouri agriculture. The Missouri State Fair plays an essential role in keeping agriculture one of Missouri’s top industries. Missourians agree that as long as agriculture remains a major industry in the state, the Fair will continue to be the premier showcase for it. The Missouri State Fair is the number one site for major competitions highlighting the best of the best in the great Show-Me State of Missouri.

HISTORY
Before there was a state, there was a fair. The first Nebraska State Fair took place in Nebraska City in 1868, but over the course of the next 41 years the fair would move between the host cities of Nebraska City, Brownville, Lincoln and Omaha. It wasn’t until 1901 that the Nebraska Legislature selected the Lancaster County Fairgrounds (Lincoln) as the permanent site for the annual fair, where it would remain until 2009. The Nebraska State Fair broke ground for the new fairgrounds in July 2009. The 2009 Horse Racing Season marked the end of the Nebraska State Fair’s involvement in Thoroughbred Horseracing. The last State Fair in the host city of Lincoln was held in August and September of 2009. Nebraskans showed up in hoards, to see the State Fair for the last time in Lincoln. Attendance spiked to 367,203. Following the 2009 Fair, staff began the process of sorting through 109 years of “stuff.” They held an auction in the fall of 2009 and shipped the remaining items in over 40 semi loads, 90 miles west, to Grand Island. The Nebraska State Fair has grown a lot since 1868 and to this day continues to showcase the people, talent and products of Nebraska. It also continues to be a time where we can celebrate Nebraska’s Pride. With a history older than the state itself, the Nebraska State Fair combines tradition with innovation to produce not only an educational but entertainmentfilled event for the entire family.

HISTORY The history of the South Dakota State Fair is closely woven into the history of the state of which it is a part. Its origin was an act of the Territorial Legislature approved April 25, 1885, and signed by Governor Pierce at Bismarck, the capitol of Dakota Territory at that time. The legislative act created a Board of Agriculture for the purpose of “forwarding the interests of agriculture, horticulture, manufacturing, and domestic arts.” The principal function of the Board was to organize and maintain an annual exhibition of the products of the territory in agriculture, stock raising, and other lines to be known as the “Annual Territorial Fair.” The site of the Fair was not designated, and there was keen competition among the larger towns of the territory. Sioux Falls, Pierre and Huron each submitted offers of suitable grounds and race track, advertising and considerable sums of money. After careful consideration the Board accepted the offer made by the city of Huron; and the first fair was held September 29 to October 2, 1885. For a new enterprise in a sparsely settled territory it was an amazing success from the standpoint of exhibits, attendance and gate receipts. In 1886 the Fair again was held in Huron with increased attendance, added interest, and keener competition in exhibits and racetrack features. The practice of holding the Fair at the larger towns in the state was continued until 1905 when it seemed advisable to locate the Fair permanently. The schedule for the Fairs from 1885 to 1905 was: 1885 and 1886, Huron; 1887 and 1888, Mitchell; 1889 and 1890, Aberdeen; 1891 and 1892, Sioux Falls; 1893 and 1894, Aberdeen; 1895, Sioux Falls; 1896 to 1904, Yankton; and 1905, Huron where it has remained as a permanent feature. Beginning in 1905 with the acquisition of the first buildings from the Central South Dakota Fair Association, improvements and new buildings were needed to meet the demands of growing interest by South Dakotans’ in their State Fair. The story of each building is history in itself. Few structures remain in 2002 that date to the early 1900’s. Due toheavy snowfall during the winter of 2001, which caused the 4-H Beef Barn’s roof to collapse, the barn was torn down in May, 2001. Tents were used to house the 4-H beef during the 2001 Fair and in July, 2002 a Morton building was constructed to replace the old 4-H Beef Barn.

t is the second Wednesday of August in Wisconsin, the day that all of the junior market beef, swine and sheep exhibitors have been anxiously been waiting. Hoping that all of the hard work on their animals will pay off, and that dreams will come true. Welcome to show day at the Wisconsin State Fair! A day that is rich in tradition, and a day
that is full of nerves, anxiety, tears and smiles. The ultimate goal of the market exhibitors in the beef, swine and sheep barns is to have the honor of selling their animal on the stage of the Governor’s Blue Ribbon Livestock Auction, and to extend their stay at the fair with the honor to participate in the “Camp of Champions”. The Wisconsin State Fair Camp of Champions program was developed for junior exhibitors,
selected as Breed Champions to participate in the Governor’s Blue Ribbon Livestock Auction, to further enhance their livestock project experience. Along with the exhibitors, four previous experienced exhibitors are hired as Ambassadors to mentor and assist the junior exhibitors. The camp shares educational and rewarding opportunities as well as having some time for a little fun during their extended stay at the fair. The exhibitors represent their county,

During their camp experience, the kids learn to work on their skills to interact with the public, have the honor to do radio and television interviews all while promoting the fair and agriculture. The exhibitors also provide volunteer services to the Wisconsin State Fair as guides in the Discovery Barn, assistance in the swine barn, and in the Wisconsin Cattlemen’s and Dairy Promotion concession stands.

HISTORY To know where we’re going, it helps to understand where we’ve been. Take a short trip through our history to learn a little more about our roots in this area. To really appreciate the history of the Wyoming State Fair, one needs to take a trip through the Pioneer museum located on the fairgrounds, dig through the files at the library, and more importantly, visit with the Old Timers. These State Fair pioneers will tell you some of the most wonderful stories surrounding the events and the years at the Fair with a warmth and feeling lost in printed words. A lot has changed since 1905. It’s 4-H or FFA now, with the activities being participated in by boys and girls of all ages—learning to do things better and having had the opportunities to provide a solid foundation on which to base future learning. Competition in 4-H and FFA is always tough, and justly so, as competition provides the youth of Wyoming the incentive to work harder and to learn more. Education is a part of the Wyoming State Fair, “The Show Window of Wyoming”!

CLOSING THOUGHTS
JULY/AUG 2016
s you have flipped through the pages of The Showtimes State Fair Issue I am sure you have noticed all of the reference to family. Family is where The Showtimes has come from. Not just immediate family, but our livestock showing family as well.
THE SHOWTIMES
564
The Showtimes started almost 10 years ago when Brian (20), Laurie (16), and Lisa (15) had a dream about starting a livestock magazine that gave back to the industry they all loved. I tried to convince them that they were too young, and that a corporation had to be formed. I rattled off a list of what needed to be done to start a company. Two months later the first issue went to print and they were off and running. Back to family. There are many responsible for starting the magazine going back to their early years of showing. The knowledge they learned from each of the cattleman they dealt with impacted them far more than they will ever know. I believe that God put each and every one of them in our life for a reason. Mark Dorsey, Rod Kershal, Don MacLennan, Kirk Stierwalt, Kirk Roecker, Adam Pryor, Bob May and Steve Bonham, to name a few. Kent Habager supported them without hesitation. Joe Sullivan made a huge impact and gave them the confidence to pursue their dream. Each of these individuals, as well as many of you, made it possible for them to do what they love. For those of you who don’t know our family, we all work together at almost everything we do. When the kids were showing in the junior shows, they all worked together on all of their livestock. Now as adults, all cattle investments are made as a family. We own an oilfield service company that Jim and I operate with our kids. We make our signs, banners, and awards in house that is managed by Laurie and Jim. Jim is always excited to see where all of the signs and banners go. And especially who won the banner and got to take it home. Brian and Lisa not only layout the magazine, design ads and catalogs, they
THANK YOU!
THIS IS WHY WE SHOW. BY BETTY REID, CO
I am also there to lend an ear when a crop is lost, a barn burns, or maybe
If I haven’t talked to someone in a while, I love to take a minute to catch up. I am always happy to run into all of you at shows. Take a moment to read about all of the Hall of Fame members. Family was and is instrumental in each and every one of their successes. Thank you for letting me be part of The Showtimes. Keep God First, and Family second, and the rest of what we all care about will fall into place. Brian, Laurie, and Lisa have always wanted their magazine to be for the exhibitor by the exhibitor. They welcome stories, pictures and hall of fame nominations. • #ThisIsWhyWeShow.

THE SHOWTIMES
Somewhere along the line I started helping with selling ads. I can’t tell you how blessed I have been to be able to talk to so many people in so many states. For me it is not just about someone putting an ad in the magazine, or making someone a sign or a banner. I totally enjoy talking about the weather, hearing about someone’s new calf crop and how excited they are about their genetics. I love learning about each family’s background and the rich heritage that so many have. I am excited to hear of a success in the show ring, or the excitement of a new baby in the house. It is amazing to watch kids grow up and see all of their success along the way. There are so many talented kids in this industry.
a loss in someone’s family. There are so many in the industry that I truly care about.

This is how this feed supplement works … the superior science of FRESH & FEMININE™ features a combination of strategic vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and a high concentration of by-pass protein sources. This chemistry boosts metabolic fat burning in the body that targets specific areas of the body to reduce fat content, most notably in the neck and brisket area. The animal has a more feminine, attractive physique and even moves better. This helps to offset the results seen from aggressive, high energy show cattle diets. All natural and fertility safe for open heifers, bred heifers, steers and bulls. Simply top dress 6 oz. per head per day of this pelleted supplement on your current ration until desired freshness has been achieved. Congratulations Carlisle Braman
