DO YOU WANT TO BE IN THE SHOWTIMES MAGAZINE?
hy do we do this to ourselves? The early mornings? The late nights? The stress? I often joke that while we are here working long hours striving to win the next show, breed the next champion or print the best magazine, that someone, somewhere is living on a beach selling hot dogs. During a family, or Showtimes meeting rather, tonight, this was the topic of conversation. From the time I was seven-years-old it seems as if life has not slowed down. Whether it was putting cattle in the barn all summer, traveling across the state to livestock judging competitions every weekend during the spring or traveling to shows and working hard with both school and work it was and still is a rarity to have a day off. Why do we do it? In the grander scheme of things, does every calf we have ever worked on play a roll in our life today? Did one win from 10 years ago boost us into becoming the person we wanted to be? If you win the state fair or a junior national this summer, will you be set for life? No. So, again, why do we do it? It’s simple. That question is answered in every feature article in this issue. It is answered with every sire advertised. It
is answered with every picture printed. While every single calf or win or show by itself does not mean beans today; as a whole they have shaped us. We are all defined by our time spent in the barn and pursuing our passions. Without time and experiences such as working as a family to win the state fair steer show or being on the AJMAA Board or Directors, I would not have the connections or knowledge needed to produce The Showtimes. For someone else, the life skills taught and networks formed through this industry may lead to the success of their farm or ranch, or line them up for a strong future no matter what field they are drawn towards. The option of a lifestyle on a beach is available to all of us. But why would we give up the greatest life and blessing we could ever be given? So while you are reading this issue of The Showtimes, in addition to taking note of today’s leading sires, the dates and info of upcoming shows, sales and products, recognize how great this industry and the people and opportunities within it are. • #ThisIsWhyWeShow

Folks, they’ve done it now - they turned me loose to write about some of my favorite places to dine! I’m going to start in the South and head North from there. I’m going to share a place in the Houston area that I don’t get to frequent as often as I’d like to; but it is sure worthy of mention in my opinion. That would be “Hickory Hollow Restaurants and Catering.” The chicken fried steak is always a favorite of mine, but the BBQ comes in a close second and is never a bad choice. The fried mashed potato balls are a unique choice to kind of change things up and make the meal a little more special for me. This little diner offers such a variety of items on the menu that it makes it one of the neatest places to take a group of stock show enthusiast and find something to satisfy even the pickiest eater in the group! Heading north from Houston, my next stop is a favorite spot in Oklahoma City, “Ann’s Chicken Fry House.” This place has been around since 1971 and has stood the test of time. It sets the bar when it comes to chicken fried steak and the usual diner menu. This place is well known for its chicken fried steak, burgers and fries and not mention the atmosphere and service is unsurpassed in the metro area - making it a given to get away from the stock and just go eat some good grub for a change. The prices and menu options are very accommodating for a group of hungry stock kids at this place also. Heading North just a hop skip and jump I find myself at the Blackout Jackpot in Loveland, Colorado; and that means that my wife is going to dine at the “Bent Fork the
Grill” in Loveland. I would highly recommend ordering something for the kiddos to eat at the motel and take the little honey out for a special dining experience. The Rocky Mountain Salmon at this place will melt in your mouth like nothing else and leave you wanting to come back for more. I do have to admit I wasn’t a big fan of salmon until I tried it here and it is the best I have ever had the pleasure of eating. This place is a little hard to find but I feel it is well worth all the effort it takes to find it! Heading East from Colorado I find myself in Des Moines, Iowa. I was fortunate to stumble across a place that must have the best BBQ brisket that I have ever had the pleasure of dining on and that would be “The Flying Mango.” This place was so good we had to make a second trip there to try the Cajun side of the menu; and we were not disappointed in the least with our selections off that side of the menu. The brisket at this place would have to rate a 12 on a scale of 10! It was so tender and juicy to the point of unbelievable. I have never had brisket of this quality anywhere else - moving it to the top of the list for me. Our second trip to the Flying Mango was just as good as the first. The Pan Seared Catfish and the Cajun Shrimp were totally awesome! Not to mention the smoked mashed potatoes were just the icing on the cake for this place. I must say I was not expecting to find this type of establishment in the middle of Des Moines, but it has moved to top of my list for must eat places there! The service at this place was very fast and quite hospitable to say the least. I’m thinking I’ve shared enough for this time, so everyone have safe travels and try to make some good memories as we go down the road to the next stock show. Don’t forget to use the Showtimes App when you’re needing to find a place to dine in your area. •

MAKING HER OWN MARK IN THE INDUSTRY AND LANDING A SPOT IN THE HALL OF FAME.
What is something about you that most people would not know? This was difficult for me to answer! One thing I think most people would not know about me is that I won high individual in swine at my final collegiate livestock judging competition at the NAILE in Louisville for TAMU when I so wanted to win BEEF! What is your best memory of growing up on the ranch? There are many fond childhood Barber Ranch memories but my best one growing up there would have to be all the unrealized (at the time) moments when we spent endless summer days and - some chilly winter ones - gathering and working cattle on an always trusty horse in some of the most picturesque and beautiful pastures along the Canadian River banks that were full of wonderful arrowheads waiting to be discovered. Looking back I realize how blessed we were to be able to work alongside our folks on a great stead under beautiful skies and undisturbed nature. What is one piece of advice you would give to someone else passionate about the livestock industry, both girls and boys? Live like there’s no tomorrow and don’t put off doing what you can do today. I operate like I have so many goals to accomplish and not enough time to do it all which makes me more efficient and able to look back with no regrets. Do it with such conviction and passion that people will want
to join you. Above all, protect and preserve your integrity – it is your reputation, your livelihood, your future. And it is totally under your control. What kind of mark do you hope to leave on the industry? I hope to leave a purposeful mark that speaks for itself in that it exemplifies my passion for Hereford cattle, the youth who will continue to carry the momentum and honors the progress of all those who have made it possible for us to be successful in this industry. Above all, to take what we have found and make it better. What do you consider to be your greatest accomplishment? To date, I would consider my greatest accomplishment as serving our Hereford membership as President while being able to enjoy working with various industry entities from production to marketing to animal health while having the freedom to grow, learn and help our youth realize their accomplishments. Being in a position to give back to an organization that my family and I have spent a lifetime making a living at and enjoying is the greatest accomplishment I can think of.

What is the makeup and history of Barber Ranch? Barber Ranch is an honoree of the Texas Family Land Heritage Program for 100+ years of continuous land ownership and agriculture production by the same family. The ranch has been family owned for 113 years. My parents, Dale and Mary, have devoted their entire lives to raising top notch Hereford genetics in the panhandle of Texas, and are two of the most respected and recognized people in the cattle industry. They have four children who are all involved in the ranch today: Justin Barber lives on the ranch and is involved with all facets of ranch activities. Justin’s wife Jenna is a veterinarian for Swann Animal Clinic in Amarillo and they have twin 2 year old girls: Henley and Beckett. Brett Barber and wife Reagan, also live and work on the ranch and have five children: Rylee, Bryden, Tanner, Tyler and Aidyn. Terri Barber is a southwest territory manager for Elanco Animal Health and currently resides in New Mexico. Jason, Jaci and Bode Barber live in Fort Worth where Jason manages the Purebred Division of Superior Livestock and is also a partner/co-founder of SmartAuctions.
What is your personal involvement in the operation? My personal involvement in Barber Ranch focuses primarily on marketing and promotion with a shared interest in day to day operations when my schedule allows. With my involvement in the animal health industry I enjoy being able to network and learn through the dynamic opportunities afforded through an outside the box view of agriculture and the beef business. Helping my family actively market and promote our genetics to best suit the needs of our customers is what I find most fulfilling to me. Whether it’s helping a progressive commercial cattle operation find their next great herd sires or assisting a junior member in leadership opportunities or committing the time and resources to serve on Boards – these all encompass my current involvement with our operation. What do you feel has made Barber Ranch successful? Success is measured in a multitude of ways I believe. Certainly persistence and tenacity to always improve and continue to make breed-leading and industry strides has been our navigation tool. Being passionate, patient and diligent in everything we do continues to make us better. Above all, acting with integrity to earn our breed and
industry’s trust and the privilege to be in – and stay in – this business is a major key to our success. I believe each of us has the inherent responsibility of carrying our principles forward to successive generations while taking what we find here and making it better and better.
What qualities do you think make cattle producers different than everyday Americans? Cattle producers live and operate on a level high above most everyday Americans because they understand and do what it takes to provide for everyone regardless of their status. They have an inherent ability to withstand the ups and downs of market cycles, Mother Nature and the economy in general. They can perform at the highest level when everything around them seems in disarray. And they get up each day knowing this and persisting as it’s their life passion and goal.
63 THE SHOWTIMES
Who has most inspired or encouraged you as a cattle producer over the years? Most definitely my parents have inspired and encouraged me as well as some of our closest and most loyal cattle partners some of whom are located coast to coast. Also, some of the breed’s most well-known and respected cattlemen and women were also on my most-admired list including the late Wayne Haygood and Weldon Edwards, John Dudley and Minnie Lou Bradley of Bradley’s B3R Ranch, the American Angus Association’s first female president and another Texas Panhandle native who my Mom also had the privilege of interning under as a teenager. The Hereford employees from my youth were very uplifting and supportive as well. Among this list would be the great, late B.C. “Bud” Snidow, Jim Boyd, Jack Chastain and of course my youth leaders on a state and national level including Diane Johnson at Texas Hereford and Bonnie Coley-Malir at AHA. Our competitors would also be on this distinguished list as they have constantly kept us on top of our game.
MARCH/APRIL 2017
What experiences in your life shaped you into the cattle producer that you are today? I’ve been very fortunate to have enjoyed a career path that has always centered around beef cattle and agriculture in general. My roots are steeped in Hereford genes from the start having grown up on our ranch in the Texas Panhandle in a renowned area made famous by such ranching legends including the XIT, the LIT, Charles Goodnight among many others. Just being able to survive and thrive in a rather raw climate that this extreme part of the state provides certainly thickens one’s skin and shapes your core values of living. Being actively involved in 4-H and livestock and meats judging competitions from an early age helped develop my evaluation skills that have created numerous judging opportunities well past college. Growing up with parents who had a natural eye for great cattle certainly didn’t hurt either. Having the privilege of judging the North American International Livestock Exposition alongside my mother a few years ago would have to rank as one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve enjoyed. After two summer internships with the American Hereford Association and the International Brangus Breeders Association my goal was to stay involved in the beef industry providing exceptional customer service to members and their families. As such I served as the director for youth, shows and promotion for IBBA for seven and a half years before having the opportunity to experience the government side of the industry. For the following six years I served under then Agriculture Commissioner Susan Combs as the director for livestock marketing for the state of Texas, an opportunity that allowed me to travel the world extensively promoting Texas livestock and genetics. What was extra special was the fact that both Susan and I were first females in these roles.
When she was elected to Comptroller of Public Accounts for the state on her next mission, another door opened for me to join Elanco Animal Health – first as a branded beef consultant which led to roles within our food industry and consumer affairs group before joining the field sales staff a few years later.

What is your history with the AHA and the Hereford breed? I have been a member of the AHA and Junior Hereford Association since I was old enough to join. Growing up with Hereford cattle my entire life afforded me leadership and showing opportunities on a state and national level that I thoroughly enjoyed partaking of. Attending national conferences, annual meetings and participating in all levels of leadership activities and scholarship opportunities have been my focus growing up in the breed. Since running for the AHA Board in 2013 as well as serving as a Vice President for the Texas Hereford Association and past member of the Texas Hereford Auxiliary I been heavily involved in the decision making process that continues to govern our Associations and staffs. Any and all opportunities to promote and support the Hereford breed have been my top priority throughout my career and in my travels both domestically and abroad. I very much enjoy working with our youth and helping create as many opportunities as possible to keep them involved and interested in our breed’s future. Barber Ranch is honored to have had the opportunity to help our youth organization reach their “Growing a Lasting Legacy” through donating this year’s HYFA Foundation Female that recently sold in Denver. We are also donating her full sister to be sold this Sunday in the Cowtown Invitational Sale held during our annual Texas Hereford events in Fort Worth. This will be the first animal donated for proceeds to benefit the newly created Texas Youth Foundation to help award leadership opportunities and scholarships for our youth in Texas. Why did you want to lead the AHA? I wanted to lead the AHA because I felt it was an incredible opportunity as a breeder and lifetime member to have the support of my state and southwest region to nominate me for the Board and also to have the time and experience needed to take on this leadership role. I wanted to be involved on an integral level that would allow me to best serve our membership while learning the intricate details of what is involved in the day to day operation and strategic planning for our futures. This was a dream I have had since I was a young member wanting to be more involved and more knowledgeable about our breed and association. What do you think makes a good leader? First and foremost to being a good leader is being a good listener. If you cannot understand or know what direction an organization needs to go you cannot be effective at leading them. Staying on top of current industry and global news along with anticipating our next steps and strategic goals is critical to being able to make informed, guided decisions. Having the trust and confidence of your members and colleagues is vital to operating as an effective team. Honesty, integrity and optimal ethical behavior are
fundamental to leadership. With over ten committees on our AHA board, delegating is very important along with good communication. An effective team starts at the top and surrounding yourself with capable, creative people is something Jack Ward, AHA CEO, has certainly done. We are very blessed to have what I would deem as the industry’s very best creative minds working on our behalf. What does your role as president of the AHA entail? As president my role is to act as Chairman of the Board and preside at all meetings of the membership, the Board of Directors and the executive committee. As such I serve as the ex-officio member of every other standing or temporary committee and select our various committee appointments. Working with AHA staff, we set our spring and summer meetings as well as help plan our annual membership meeting. We are currently updating our strategic plan so working with various individuals on this important task allows me to interact with various industry segments and influencers in and out of our breed. As one of the only women to serve on the AHA board and the first female president, do you approach issues or problems differently? I don’t know that I approach issues or problems differently since I really have nothing to compare that to being the first female president; however, I do think a female’s perspective can be a great attribute to a board room and one that I hope is both appreciated and respected. My goal is to effectively and cooperatively find solutions to any issues or problems that arise with empathy and compassion. What changes and/or advances do you hope to see the AHA make during the next year of your term? We are being very progressive in our genetic testing and genomic enhancements. I am confident we will continue focusing on programs that will help our members produce genetics that will benefit from economically relevant traits highly sought in all industry segments. Our priority in identifying genetics that can build profitability will remain center plate as well as providing our staff and allied leaders the resources to maintain efficiency of member services. Marketing value based programs will also be a key component to ensuring Herefords are committed to industry demands whereby growing our CHB brand. It will be a great asset to have more feeders and packers aligned with our CHB goals and we have a phenomenal staff in place to achieve this. Equally important is continuing our support of NJHA, HYFA and NHW affiliates and their unparalleled growth in ensuring the next generation stays committed and successful.
Where do you see the Hereford breed going in future years? With a staff second to none and progressive breeders raising the bar, I see the Hereford breed poised to continue our progress and growth in all areas including membership, registrations and transfers as well as market share in the beef industry through more aggressive Certified Hereford Beef marketing opportunities for our customers. In order to maintain our breed integrity, producers need to be mindful of their mating decisions and utilize all tools at hand including structural and breeding soundness evaluations. We can manage what we measure so the more valuable our tools are the more valuable our breed will be. It is with great gratitude and respect that I thank those who have served on this AHA Board and staff for allowing me, my family and all of us in this rewarding business today to enjoy our livelihoods. I look forward to contributing to future growth, profitability and success for all entities involved! •

Laurie, Lisa and I have many great memories of showing livestock. Loren and Maureen were “Sullivans� to us when we were showing. Instead of ordering our show supplies online, we would buy our supplies from them at the shows. We would always visit with them before, during and after the shows in Riverton, Billings, Kersey, the Colorado State Fair and numerous other jackpots. Our favorite part of hosting the Blackout Jackpot each year has been to have them both involved with our show, since they mean so much to us. Loren helps work the ring and Maureen hands out prizes to each exhibitor. Congratulations on being inducted into The Showtimes Hall of Fame! Thanks for all you do! We love you both! - The Reid Family

NEW HALL OF FAME MEMBERS HAVE SUPPORTED YOUTH, SHOWN LIVESTOCK AND GIVEN BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITY! BY: PATRICIA ALTENBURG, CO 68
Loren and Maureen graduated high school together. Mom pursued a degree as a RN. Dad started vet school at Iowa State and then enlisted in the Army during WW II and spent his service time in Germany as a MP. Following the war he married mom and they just celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary February 2. They started a purebred Hereford herd and proudly sold bulls. In fact, they raised an Iowa State Fair Champion Steer! Mom and Dad were both accomplished horsemen and began competing at a national level showing horses as well as cattle. They were both very involved with raising horses and cattle up until the past ten years. Mom quit showing to support her kids in their show dreams. During her career she was a RN, Director of Nurses and a Hospital Administrator. Dad has judged horses nationally and shown horses and cattle throughout the US including Chicago, Cow Palace, Houston, Kansas City and Denver. At the NWSS he has shown cattle (hill and yards) and horses. He has also judged horses at the National Western Stock Show. After dad finished judging, he and mom would sit and discuss the day and mom would let him know when he made a mistake and what she saw that he missed.
Their true love is supporting kids. They have driven all over the US to cheer on not only their own kids, but grand kids and great grand kids. They even cheer on their many “grand kids” that they have watched grow up from the inside of their Choice of Champions trailer. When mom retired from the Hospital industry, they became Sullivan Supply dealers. They truly loved this time - always around kids showing livestock. Both of their true loves - animals and kids. I truly believe they would do anything to help a kid showing livestock. Over the years they have had great success with cattle and horses in the show ring. Dad has also won the Houston Stock Show herdsman award twice. They have received numerous awards and accolades from the show. horse and cattle industry throughout their lifetime. Mom received several awards during her RN career. Dad’s love of horses to ride and compete on - cutters, Mom’s love - trotters and pacers. Her dad raced them and she was very involved. She can ride Western or English, and is really good. Mom will celebrate her 94th birthday March 5th, and dad his 94th August 15th. •

TEXAS TECH THE MOST DOMINANT LIVESTOCK JUDGING TEAM FROM THE PAST TEN YEARS SHARE THEIR STORY. BY: TEXAS TECH
Every year, collegiate judging teams from across the United States vie for national championships. There are no big crowds cheering. No bands playing at halftime. No television exposure or big-money contracts. Yet in the arena of collegiate judging, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Team members won’t turn pro after their collegiate days are over, at least not in the way most think. They’ll put to use what they learn through classes and competitions in their professional lives, but there are no endorsement deals or big contracts
to sign. And if rankings existed, Texas Tech’s meat and livestock judging teams would likely be in the top three most seasons, start to finish. Maybe it’s because they’ve won a combined 12 National Championships in the past ten years. In fact, Texas Tech is the only school to win meat and livestock national championships in the same year four times (2008-09, 2011, 2015). Tech is mostly closely matched by Iowa State (1927, 195556), Oklahoma State (1948, 1954,

Every fall a new group of livestock judging enthusiasts step onto Texas Tech’s campus in Lubbock with the aspiration of being on the next national champion livestock judging team. What each team member soon realizes is that they are now a part of a family who supports and motivates each other through every accomplishment, as well as the hardships.
“The success we’ve had together is due to the students being unselfish and not focusing on winning but what we can do to be the best every day,” explained Mark Miller, one of the meat judging team’s coaches and the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo Distinguished Chair in Meat Science.”
“I would say the key to our success over the past decade would have to be the fact that we always promote the team first, rather than individual accomplishments,” said Associate Professor Ryan Rathmann. “Our students learn selflessness, risk management, and confident public speaking – all of which translate to future success in their personal lives as well as the competitive business world.” The family atmosphere that teammates show one another is consistent into other competitive teams within the Department of Animal and Food Sciences. Throughout every competitive season, the livestock, meat, horse and wool teams take pride in each other’s successes and provide constant encouragement as each team pursues a national
BUILDING A WINNER The livestock team’s success was almost instantaneous when Ryan Rathmann took over as coach ten years ago in 2007 and led them to the national championship that year, though it was a struggle. Rathmann said the livestock judging team competed at 11 events in 2007 and lost every one of them until they reached the national championship. “It was a challenge that year working with students who didn’t have a taste of what it felt like to win,” Rathmann said. “They didn’t know how much fire they needed to work with to see their goal come to fruition.” “But the whole time they were getting better and better and better. By the end, they were totally bought in and they actually dominated the national championship contest,” he explained.
The livestock judging program, which had last won a national championship in 1985, won three straight national titles from 2007 to 2009, and the 2008 team which was coached by Rathmann and Jon DeClerck holds the record for the all-time highest team score. Texas Tech’s most recent National Championship came just this past November in Louisville under the guidance of DeClerck and Rathmann. The key, Rathmann said, to building a good team every year is recruiting students who are intelligent, rational thinkers and are able to articulate detailed points. Not only are students who possess these traits successful in judging but also in the classroom. Jon DeClerck, who recently returned to Texas Tech after coaching at Iowa State University, is now training the team and completing his doctoral degree. “We’re dedicated to recruiting great students and staying committed to the amount of work it takes to realize success,” DeClerck said. “Competition fuels work ethic and people work harder because they want to be the best.” •

KANSAS TEAM SHARES THEIR STORY. BY: RHETT NEWBY, ERIN FALKENSTIEN, DALTON FLATT AND ANDREW ANDERSON
RHETT NEWBY Growing up I remember riding in the pasture and feeding cattle with my grandparents and I loved being around livestock. When I was 7 I started showing at the first chance I got. That’s when I first started judging livestock, I went to many aggie days before earning my chance to judge at the state level for the first time. When I first went to state that’s when I knew that I wanted to Win state and go to a compete at a National contest. This past year we pushed ourselves harder than ever and being able to just earn a trip to Denver was amazing, but we wanted more than that. To Place 3rd at Denver was one of the best feelings I have ever had. Just in this past year we have accomplished many things and we hope to accomplish more as we prepare and compete at Scotland.
ERIN FALKENSTIEN Erin is currently a senior at Labette County High School. She is an eleven year 4-H member and active in FFA and the music department. In 4-H Erin has developed major project areas in market and breeding goats, sheep, and horses. Erin shows at the local county fair as well as on the state and national level. She has shown at the Ak-sarben Livestock Exposition as well as the Arizona National. Most rewarding in her experience has been exhibiting the Grand Champion Market Goat at the Kansas State Fair followed by the Reserve Grand Champion at the Kansas Junior Livestock show with a goat she had raised. When not working with her goats Erin loves her horses. She has qualified and exhibited at the Kansas State Fair in a variety
of events ranging from performance to speed events. This past year she was the Senior Reining Champion and Reserve Champion Pole Bender. In FFA Erin has been active in the areas of speech, job interview, ag sales, livestock judging, horse judging, and marketing plan. She has done a little study in entomology and ag mechanics as well. Erin truly enjoys job interview and has found it to be rewarding in many areas including giving reasons in both horse and livestock judging. She has held the offices of local chapter treasurer and vice president and currently serves as the SE Kansas District Vice President.
Erin plans to continue her education at the University of Arkansas majoring in Kinesiology. Her future goals are to combine her love for horses with her desire to help others by using equine to perform therapy. DALTON FLATT Dalton Flatt is a junior at Cherryvale High School in Cherryvale, Kansas. Dalton. Dalton has been deeply involved in 4H for 10 years and FFA for 3. He enjoys livestock judging and enjoying cattle. He has been very successful in both the show ring and the judging arena. Dalton Shows at He’s won many shows across the state of Kansas and Oklahoma. He has had many top five showmanship finishes at the Kansas State Fair, and has obtained many showmanship titles at many jackpots and regional shows. In 2016, Dalton attended the 2016 Maine and Chianina Junior Nationals in Grande Island, Nebraska, here he was apart of the third overall senior
He has been literally raised in a barn, from the moment he could walk he was with the pigs. He currently helps operate his family’s show pig farm that has been in existence since the 1950’s. He has been able to make more valued decisions for the farm and hopes that he can one day take over the operation from his dad and uncle. According to Andrew, placing anywhere in the top end at the National Western is a great accomplishment but finishing third, he couldn’t have felt any more blessed. He said, “the coaches put in a lot of time and effort to get us to this point with late night practices and words of encouragement, and we couldn’t have done it without their dedication. Being able to go to Scotland and judge the Royal Highland Show is a once in a lifetime opportunity and it’s an honor to have this chance.”

“Winning at a major like Denver was pretty cool! We’ve worked lots of years learning what to look for and how to deliver a lot of sets of reasons. Being able to compete at the national level and then hear your team has won the sheep division and placed third and fourth in goats and swine was very rewarding. Then to be named third over-all team and learn that we were invited to go to Scotland was very exciting.”
ANDREW ANDERSON Andrew Anderson is a Junior at Caney Valley High School in Caney, Kansas. Besides livestock judging and showing pigs and cattle in 4-H and FFA, he enjoys basketball and baseball, is a member of the National Honor Society and is President of the Caney FFA Chapter. Growing up with a dad who coached livestock judging teams and has always worked in the livestock industry, Andrew was at his first county fair before he was a week old, showing his first pig at two years of age, and tagging along with the collegiate judging teams.
MARCH/APRIL 2017
Erin is the principle owner of Falkenstien Family Show Goats - a business dedicated to raising nationally competitive boar goat wethers. They have been blessed to market goats online into nine different states in the past year. They are using cutting edge techniques such as AI and embryo transfer to continue to develop the highest level of genetics.
fitting team with team members, Jake Nikkel and Madison Loschke. He also placed 9th overall in the intermediate judging contest. In FFA, Dalton does not only compete in Livestock Judging, he is apart of the Cherryvale FFA’s Ag Communications team. When Dalton was younger he stood by and soaked up knowledge from his father, Colby Flatt. Colby has taught Dalton the majority of what he knows about the cattle industry. Dalton has lived on a cattle ranch for most of his life. Dalton is now a primary owner of Flatt Show Cattle, where they raise steers and heifers in which they sell on a private treaty basis. “Obtaining 3rd overall and being 11th overall individual at the National Western Roundup, held in conjunction with NWSS is something every livestock judger wishes to obtain. Competing at Denver was a very humbling experience. It was very exciting to find out the the Wildcat Livestock Judging team was third overall which in turn, was accompanied by an invitation to compete internationally in Scotland over the summer.”

We have been searching for a new Maine-Anjou herd sire for several years. When I spotted BOE Epic in the yards in Denver I knew he was the one! He is basically a total outcross to our cow herd as well as an outcross to most of the popular pedigrees in the Maine breed today. However, his phenotype is what separates him from the rest of the field. Incredible structure, bold center rib, massive hipped, and an awesome look. He's not all fluff and stuff, in Denver at 10 months of age, scanned a 17.8 in REA and weighed 1,221 lbs. You don't find a 75% Maine-Anjou sire like this everyday! He was the top selling bull in the Denver Maine Bull Sale and he was a steal in our mind. We have had an overwhelming number of cattlemen placing semen orders. The semen cost is $100 per unit with a 10 unit minimum and we will fill semen orders on a first come, first serve basis.

MIKALA REFLECTS ON HER RECENT SUCCESS! am Mikala Grady from Grandview, Texas, and I am 15 years old. I first started showing pigs when I was 9 years old. Then I started showing steers when I was 13. I will never forget these amazing experiences and the people that helped me get here. My family and I failed many times until finally all the stars lined up in March of 2014. I had won the Houston Barrow Show and I couldn’t believe it. Winning Houston
that day let me know that it was possible to win a major if you were willing to work hard enough.Then it wasn’t a year later at Ft Worth that I won the Barrow Show. It was such a accomplishment to do it another time and to do it along the side of my whole family made it that much more special. I also wanted to become a lot more competitive in the steer barn because it was something new and I enjoyed it. I had a lot of support this summer from Bobby and Mandi Maddox, and Nattee Hood. They helped me get better as a showman and also keep the
cattle in good condition. This summer we went to a lot of shows and we were very successful.
It was only about three weeks later that we would load up to Fort Worth. We all prepared ourselves for the worst and hoped for the best going in to it. I didn’t ever dream that I would win the Fort Worth steer show so early on.
There are times when I thought winning a major was near impossible but I encourage everyone to keep pushing through and never stop. If you want it bad enough and work hard enough you can do anything you want in life. When you get there thank everyone who got you there because they will be some of the most influential people in your life. I thank God everday for allowing me to show livestock and at the same time be surrounded by great people. •

Not even a month ago on a Thursday night I was named the Reserve Grand Swine at Denver. Then on Friday I would show my steer. I stood second in class and later In the day I would get my steer ready again for the grand drive. Then the winner of my class would go on to win the show and I was Reserve Grand Steer. Needless to say The National Western treated me very well.
Thanks to my parents for supporting me in all I do and teaching me that with hard work anything is possible. I think that is what these industries have instilled in me more than anything and they have brought great people in to me life. Bobby and Mandi Maddox are a big reason for all my success as well.They have been patient with me and taught me how to do everything I know in the steer barn and I am really grateful for that. Also another thank you to rest of the crew you are also a big part of my success and you all know that. Without these people I wouldn’t be where I am today.
MARCH/APRIL 2017
We went to Dallas, Kansas City, and Louisville. Then we rolled on to Phoenix with my favorite steer Ziggy and two others. I was so nervous going in to the grand drive. I think even after Dr. Shike let the cat out of the bag I was still so nervous. Then Ziggy got the slap. It was a big win for all of us. We had finally gotten a major steer show won. And what would follow in the next two months wasn’t even fathomable.
Rocco was one of a kind and I enjoyed every second I got to be with him. Winning Fort Worth is one of my greatest accomplishment I would say.

BOBBY AND MANDI MADDOX has been replicated ever since. Most recently Bobby and his wife Mandi ran and operate Bonham South Cattle in Hempstead, TX and they have been an overwhelming force to be reckoned with at the Texas Major Steer shows in the past eight years.
155 THE SHOWTIMES
Just as Bobby might have thought it was time to slow down and think about the next chapter in life a great opportunity came along. To work with one family that wanted to really show steers competitively. The Grady’s. Mikala Grady was a very recognizable face in the show pig world, capturing Grand Champion honors at Houston and Fort Worth livestock shows along with countless others, but she had only shown a few steers when they met. It was defiantly not the next chapter Bobby had in mind at all, but it just felt right, and the right fit it was! To say Mikala Grady has come into the show cattle world with guns a blazing, might be an understatement. She started in the spring of 2016 showing at numerous stock shows gathering a lot of hardware thru the summer. The major season started off very well at Dallas, but what the next few months would bring was unthinkable! Mikala won Arizona National, was Reserve Grand Champion Hog and Steer at National Western and Grand Champion Steer at Fort Worth Livestock Exposition. I would say the future for Mikala Grady and the Maddox team is very bright to say the least! Bobby and Mandi both express that Mikala is one of the most hard working dedicated kids they have ever worked with the drive and passion she has is second to none. •
MARCH/APRIL 2017
BY: MANDI MADDOX
When one thinks about legends in the show cattle industry, Bobby Maddox is certainly at the top of the list. Whether you deem him famous or infamous there is no doubt every one in the cattle barns knows who he is and what he has accomplished. Bobby grew up in Cordell, OK raising and showing cattle and went on to attend Redlands College. He knew early on his passion was show cattle and more importantly everyone knew he was truly gifted when it came to selection, feeding and grooming steers and heifers. Over his career he has worked for some of the most renown, successful and famous stock show families in history which include but is not limited to the Priesmeyer’s, Bernsen’s, Ray’s and the Carrabba/ Rash family. Maddox has guided and led an exhibitor to the Grand Champion Steer title at every major show in the United States on multiple occasions. One of Bobby’s more remarkable accomplishments is that in1994 he won a record five major steers shows in a single show season. Maddox has seen overwhelming success in every facet of the show cattle industry from junior and open breeding cattle championships, to raising and selling champions as well. Most people may not know the depths to which Maddox has influenced the livestock show industry but he was the co founder of Magic and Keep Um Sound Show supplements, and he was one of the very first people to hold a show cattle camp for steer and heifer exhibitors. Bobby was the very first person to select and gather a large group of bred females, publicize them and hold a lavish sale event which he named The Girly Show and his model and fashion in which he did it

If my life was made into a movie, I’d want _______________ to play me... Angelina Jolie!
The world would be better with... more beef jerky.
My biggest fear is... heights. My favorite show is... the National Western Stock Show. The most unique experience at a show I have had is... It has been rewarding to watch individuals I have taught excel in the showring. My funniest memory at a Stock Show U clinic is... This is a difficult one as we have had many laughs at our clinics, however the best memories are being able
I would not be who I am today without... my dad (Doug Hahn) pushing me to be the best role model I can be. My greatest accomplishment is... receiving a scholarship for livestock Judging at Black Hawk East Community College and Sullivan Supply Scholarship. If I could relive one day it would be... Shorthorn Junior National 2004 when my brother received Champion Owned Heifer. After the show all the breeders socialized with a BBQ out at tieouts and I had the opportunity to spend time with a lot of shorthorn industry icons that day. (John
Sullivan, Josh Elder, Jeff Sargent) I wish there was a livestock show in... Vegas! I cannot go to a show without... Stock Show U Swag! If I could go anywhere for a month vaction it would be... Thailand! If I didn’t do what I do now I would... Pursue a career as a marketing specialist. If I could meet any one person, it would be... Matthew McConaughey!

My favorite part of the livestock industry is... the people, traveling and life long memories.

GET RID OF THE I CAN’T LIST AND START REWRITING THE I CAN THROUGH CHRIST LIST!
H
ave you ever heard the quote, “Can’t never could do nothing!” Maybe it was an Arkansas thing but I heard it a lot from my dad as I made excuses for why I couldn’t do something on our cattle ranch. Whether it was a chore needing done that I didn’t want to put the effort into, or thought I needed help with; I could come up with some pretty good excuses for why I couldn’t do it and his reply was
BY PASTOR RANDY DAVIS, LIMA, OH
simply, “Can’t never could do nothing!” As I look at my to do list in life I can still come up with excuses of why I can’t do some things. Some things take a lot of effort, others are just plain difficult. Some may be painful to think about and others are just flat out tough to get done. Too many times in the life we set goals and then think of all the reasons they cannot happen. I am tired of the “I can’t list.” I feel God gave me a theme for the year. The scripture He gave me is very familiar to many people.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
“Do what you can, where you are, with what you have!”
I think of the Reid family who makes this Showtimes magazine happen. They just celebrated 10 years of production. I am sure there were a lot of items on their “I can’t list.” But they quit making excuses and made a magazine that now makes a difference in the livestock show world they love. At our church we face a few people with reasons why we cannot make an impact in our community. There are 90,000 people in our county who never go to church. I want to make an impact into that part of our community. We have a goal to influence at least 10% or 9,000 of them. That’s a lot of people for one church to influence. Many folks have come up with some pretty good reasons of why
Get rid of the I can’t list! Start rewriting the “I Can through Christ list.” We can be light in darkness. We can be a good witness to those we influence. We can serve, we can show love, we can care. We can pray for others. We can do our part to show others to Jesus by how we live and conduct our lives. That’s a pretty good start on that “I Can” list. By the way, this I can list does work for chores too! May this be your best spring season ever. God has a plan for your life and it is not a maze to figure out but a path to follow. Ask Him to lead you along life’s pathway and see the difference He can make. I am honored to encourage you on this journey together. Through Christ I can do all things! •

If I could have more time? If I were on a bigger farm? If I had more resources? If I had their reputation? If I could just get a break? If the judges liked me more? If only we had… you fill in the blank of excuses you are making.
So, quit looking at all the reasons of why you can’t do something, and start making a list of; “Through Christ, I can do all things list!” I can’t speak real well. We don’t have the best livestock. We don’t have a lot of money. Through Christ, I can do what I can, with what I have, where I am, to the best of my ability.
MARCH/APRIL 2017
I have decided to start the “I can through Christ movement.” Let’s get rid of the “I can’t list” and start working on the things we can do. Quit making excuses and do what you can. I have heard it said this way:
it can’t happen. I have an even greater reason why it will. My why it should happen is more powerful to me than their why it can’t happen! Did you catch that? Until your why it should happen is more powerful than your why it can’t happen, it won’t happen!

THROUGH TEAMWORK, PASSION FOR THE LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY AND HARD WORK, THE BAYER FAMILY HAS FOUND SUCCESS AT SHOWS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

she arrived!) But with the help of a great crew; Ty, Calli and Tucker worked together as a team to make the show a success; including coming home with the Reserve Champion pen of Red Angus bulls. Scott and Mia have always encouraged their kids to work together as a team. Even when selecting show heifers for Ty and Calli when they were just starting out Scott and Mia stressed that it wasn’t about who placed higher or who won more, it was about working together that mattered most. Win or lose they did it together, as a family, as a team. It all started back in the 1950’s when Scott’s grandfather started Country Lane Farm with a herd of Angus cattle in central Wisconsin. Over the years, Scott’s parents and his siblings continued to build the farm and diversify their operation. Adding a hay and straw trucking

he motto of the Bayer family is simple…. teamwork! Never has the word teamwork been more appropriate to the Bayer’s than the 2017 National Western Stock Show. Ty and Calli Bayer found themselves handling a string of Red Angus females on The Hill, managing a pen of Red Angus bulls in The Yards all while watching over their little brother Tucker and helping him to get ready to show in his first Jr show at the NWSS. Normally their parents Scott and Mia would be right alongside of them helping, but this year was different. Scott had stayed back home on the farm and Mia found herself spending the entire show sick back in the hotel. (The Denver Crud hit her the day

business as well as purchasing a local meat locker that they could use to market halves and quarters of beef. Scott and Mia married in 1991 and at that time they returned to the farm. Scott knew that after college there was no place that he would rather be. His dream was to run a successful purebred cow/calf operation, with his goal of someday producing and selling breeding stock across the country. By the late 90’s Ty and Calli were already very much a part of the team, doing chores, and working show cattle. Showing had always been something that was done to promote the cattle and Ty and Calli were ready to get in the ring and do their part. It was about that time that Scott started to seriously consider adding another breed to the mix. He had always wanted to add some Red Angus to the operation. Scott and Mia wanted Ty and Calli to have something separate from the Angus, something that they could call their own. In 1998 Scott and Mia purchased their first Red Angus female from MeadoWest farms of Menomonie, WI. That is when TC Reds was added to the mix. Many people have asked over the years what the TC stands for and maybe it’s too obvious but the T was for Ty and the C for Calli. When the youngest member of the family was born in 2008 they didn’t know if he would be a boy or girl, but everyone knew the babies name would start with a T or C. It was a boy and they named him Tucker…. the team was now complete! As a family, the Bayer’s are always striving to improve their program. Scott always says, “You need to be the most critical of your own cattle. Always strive to be improving and know that there is always room
to improve your genetics.” Scott also stresses phenotype to his kids. Numbers are important to consider, but it vital to find a balance. “At the end of the day you need to like what you’re looking at, Scott says. There is nothing more rewarding than looking at a pasture full of great looking cows and calves.” The Bayer family has expanded and diversified their herds of blacks and reds by purchasing show heifers, donor quality females and herd bulls to improve their operation from across the country and Canada. As Ty and Calli got older they began to attend more shows. Ty and Calli laugh that there was a time their Dad told them that they weren’t going to haul all over the country going to Jr Nationals every year. Scott has since eaten those words many times and traveling across the country is a way of life for the whole family now. Attending shows is one of the best ways to promote their cattle. Central Wisconsin isn’t exactly beef cattle country. It’s important for them to get their cattle out in front of other producers and breeders. Over the years, the Bayer’s have shown and bred many champions at many levels. In 2009 they showed the Champion Angus female at the National Western Stock Show in both the Jr and Open shows. It was the first win at a national show for the Bayer family and they still remember the moment with great fondness. Since 2009 the Bayer family feels fortunate to won many other national shows; including Champion Red Angus females at Louisville, Denver, and the North American Jr. Red Angus Event, as well as Reserve Champion Red Angus bulls at Denver.

A unique experience for both Ty and Calli happened their last year showing junior Angus at the North American in Louisville. 2012 was Ty’s last year of eligibility as a Jr. Angus exhibitor and he won the Jr. Angus show, and then two years later in 2014 Calli was showing in her final Jr. show at Louisville and she also won Champion Angus female. Following the win in Louisville Calli also exhibited that same female at her very last Jr. Angus show in Denver 2015 and ended her Jr. show career with exhibiting the Grand Champion Angus female in the Jr. show. But, ultimately it didn’t matter who was on the end of the halter, what mattered was that it was done as a team. The heifer that won for Calli at Louisville and Denver ended up being the very first heifer that Tucker showed when he competed in a showmanship contest in the Fall of 2014. Just another example of everyone working together as a team. Perhaps some of the most rewarding experiences for the family has come with the success of their customers. They hold four sales per year. The Angus cattle are marketed through both an online show heifer sale at the end of October as well as a Spring production sale where breeding age bulls and females are sold in conjunction with S&R Angus every May. As for TC Reds and the Red Angus side of things they are also marketed with two sales per year. The Red Connection bull sale is held in March with Weber Land and Cattle in Madison, SD and the Ladies in Red Event is held the Saturday after Thanksgiving in Lake Benton, MN with the Weber and Zehnder families. The Ladies in Red female sale has become an event that continues to
The Bayer family admits that there are days when no one feels much like being a part of the “team” but they laugh that every family business has those days. In the end, no one would change where they are now or how they’ve gotten there and their hopes are high to continue to grow and be successful as a family in an industry that they love. •
285 THE SHOWTIMES
When looking ahead to the future the Bayer’s plan to stay together working as a team. They all share the same passion for the cattle/livestock industry. Ty graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in Animal Science in May 2015 and just like his Dad knew he wanted to come home and help manage the farm. Calli graduated from Iowa State in December 2015 with a degree in Ag Communications. Calli lives in Iowa and works as a Retail Sales Rep for The Hershey Company. Calli comes home to help as time allows
or meets ups with everyone at shows. Tucker may be the youngest T of the TC Reds crew but he’s a big part of the team…. keeping everyone on their toes. His time in the show ring is just beginning. It’s hard to know sometimes who is more nervous when he goes in the ring…. Scott and Mia or Ty and Calli. He’s had some great teachers and everyone looks forward to watching his accomplishments. Scott continues to manage Country Lane Farm and TC Reds and is proud of the strides they have made as breeders in the industry. Most days you can find Mia managing the “small meat locker” that Scott’s Dad started many years ago. It has grown into a much larger operation and consumes most of her time, but when she can Mia likes to get home and help wherever she can.

humble the Bayer family every year. Ty says, “There are so many great cattle programs for people to choose from, we are humbled and thankful for the amazing customers and cattlemen who have shown interest in our program. Our customers truly become a part of our team and we are grateful for the trust they show us.” The ultimate goal is to help their customers reach success with their cattle in and out of the show ring. TC Reds has been named Premier Breeder and Premier Exhibitor at both Louisville and Denver and they are thankful to their customers for helping them receive that recognition.

PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESS:
DILIGENCE
®
LODESTAR GUIDANCE BY WEAVER LEATHER LIVESTOCK
WHAT IS DILIGENCE?
MARCH/APRIL 2017
Diligence means always giving your best effort to complete a task. When you practice diligence, you spend your time and effort in a willing, consistent manner to successfully set and accomplish your goals as you see your project through in its entirety. Selecting your animal is just the beginning of a project that will have many ups and downs. First comes halter breaking your calf and learning about the proper nutrition. Then comes the daily care… rinsing or washing, conditioning, blowing, repeat. Let’s not forget about working with your calf every day, teaching it to lead and set its feet properly and more, all while honing your own showmanship skills. It all seems like so much work, right?
THE SHOWTIMES
If you commit to being diligent, you can achieve your goals. Do you want to learn how to clip your calf better? Place first in your breed class at the State Fair? Win champion steer? Simply place higher than 296 you did last year? Whatever your goals may be, every time you learn something and face things head on, you are successful. Check out the following list of do’s and don’ts of diligent people. BE INTENTIONAL: To succeed in your goals, you must think ahead and choose the right actions that will produce the desired results. You must make a deliberate and intelligent choice. What are the steps I need to take to train my calf to lead? How often do I need to do these? TAKE ACTION: With your calf or other livestock projects, being diligent means hard work, long work, determined work and, ultimately, rewarding work. Sure, the daily hair care routine on your calf can seem tedious; however, if you are committed to whatever it takes for as long as it takes to complete the process each day, you can reap the benefits of your hard work. STAY MOTIVATED: Diligence can also be called
“joyful persistence.” It requires your heart to willingly choose to complete the task for its own satisfaction. If you don’t have the heart to put in the hours upon hours of necessary work, it will be hard to find joy in showing your calf.

DAL100716R-1
DON’T LOSE FOCUS: As a young person
growing up in the livestock world, there are lots of distractions that can pull attention away from your project. Sports, homework, school dances, summer activities — the list goes on. It is important to learn how to prioritize and balance all of these things that are important to you so you can still find time to focus on your animals, too.
DON’T PROCRASTINATE: Once school is out for the summer, it’s easy to say, “I can’t wait to sleep in,” or, “I want to catch up on my favorite TV shows.” When you do this, you are losing valuable time with your calf — time that can make or break how well you do at your next show. As the saying goes, why put off until tomorrow what you can do today? DON’T GET COMFORTABLE: The choices
that make life easier and more comfortable tomorrow generally require choosing a bit of discomfort today. When raising livestock, there may be some things you like doing more than others. But when you are diligent and challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone, you open yourself up to new opportunities.

5TH ANNUAL CELEBRITY SHOWDOWN TO BENEFIT MAKE-A-WISH® OHIO, KENTUCKY & INDIANA

About Make-A-Wish® Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana
THE SHOWTIMES
308
Make-A-Wish® Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana grants the wishes of children with lifethreatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. For more information, visit our website at ohio. wish.org or call 1-877-206-9474.
T
The Ohio Cattlemen’s Association (OCA) BEST Program for youth ages 8-21 years hosted the BEST Celebrity Showdown at the Clark County Cattle Battle to benefit Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana®. The event, in its fifth year, was held on Friday, January 27, 2017, at the Champions Center in Springfield, Ohio. The Clark County Cattle Producers, an OCA County Affiliate, assisted in coordinating the event. Youth who raised a minimum of $100 participated in this year’s community
service project, dressed up their cattle and presented them to the celebrity judge, WHIO Television’s Gabrielle Enright, news anchor and reporter. Through donations from family, friends, the community and members of the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association, youth participating in the Celebrity Showdown raised over $5,000. Additionally, a silent auction was held with numerous items selling to generous supporters that raised an additional $6,000 for Make-A-Wish® Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. The goal is to raise $16,000 to help grant the wishes of local children battling life-threatening medical conditions. In the past five years, BEST participants raised more than $70,000 for
Make-A-Wish. Incentive prizes will be awarded to the top fundraisers at the OCA BEST Program Awards Banquet on May 6, 2017. Donations to Make-A-Wish will continue to be accepted after the Celebrity Showdown until the BEST Banquet. The BEST Celebrity Showdown at the Clark County Cattle Battle is a part of the Kids For Wish Kids® program. It gives students the opportunity to help make wishes come true. Students develop fundraising ideas under the supervision of a teacher, principal or club advisor and help share the power of a wish®.

Talk about return on investment. Loaded For Bear is a slightly shorter legged version of his brother that also has explosive muscle pattern and elite structural soundness.

A new year and once again many new and exciting things happening at Matt Lautner Cattle. Our Denver display was our most rewarding year ever with TH Free & PHA Free sires "Trump Train" and "No Guts, No Glory" creating tremendous excitement and buzz. Monopoly & Clones enjoyed their most dominant year to date with 24 state fair champions sired in the 2016 show season. Blaze Of Glory and Simplify look to be the most popular purebred sires for calf quality and calving ease. Look for Hawkeye & Run For The Roses progeny to be highly sought after at the Matt Lautner Cattle show barn and beyond. We added Huff N Puff and Loaded For Bear from Brad Otto in the fall of 2016, add them to your next order. Sexed Male and Female semen also continues to be a popular and useful resource for many breeders in 2017, stay tuned to the blog as we add more sexed options to our lineup this spring. We logged a combined 80,000 miles traveling across the United States and Canada to gather our new line-up of bulls. These extensive travels allow us the best opportunity to acquire the most elite phenotype animals with some legendary donors backing them up. Our weekly online semen sales on CW Cattle Sales continue to be popular. If you have not given our bulls an opportunity, feel free to call Matt or Michelle or any of our traveling sales persons. We ship semen daily from our home office in Adel, Iowa. Feel Free to call in your order now and schedule a farm visit for later in the spring. 2017 looks to be our most exciting year to date. We thank you for the opportunity to show you our best.

FULFILLS MAKE-A-WISH WITH MATT LAUTNER CATTLE AT NWSS
THE SHOWTIMES
358
Three years ago, if McKenzie Glass could be anywhere in the entire world, she would have been in the barn with her steer, King. “He was so cute, and he absolutely loved to play,” Glass said. She was ready to spend an amazing summer outside of her hometown of Wellersburg, Pennsylvania, working with her show steer and pigs, but her show season and her entire world were interrupted. DIAGNOSED July 22, 2014, is a day that Glass remembers vividly. That night, she went into the emergency room with severe stomach pains. The doctors ran standard scans and found that Glass had a cyst on her left ovary that had ruptured and caused internal bleeding. They quickly sent her to surgery and removed her left ovary and fallopian tube and biopsied the tumor. The doctors found that the mixed germ cell that was released from the ruptured tumor was malignant, and they diagnosed her with stage III ovarian cancer. “All of my family was at the hospital, so I knew that something was wrong,” Glass said. Glass spent three weeks in Baltimore to undergo extensive treatment. During her weeks of chemotherapy, Glass explained that she and her mom, Vicky, became very close. “My mom always tells me to be more positive than negative,” Glass said, “you can do a lot more things with positivity than negativity.” As soon as Glass was released from the hospital, the first thing she wanted to do was see her steer. “When I walked in the barn, King perked his ears up right when he saw me,” Glass said. Glass’ neighbors, Lynn and Chris Korns, had been feeding and boarding King while Glass was in the hospital. Glass will always appreciate the Korns’ help that summer, leading up to their fair in August. MILE HIGH MEMORIES That fall, Glass’ great aunt made the call to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and explained to them her niece’s story. After months of anticipation, the foundation finally decided to grant Glass a wish. “At first, I wanted to go on a cruise,” Glass said. “But my favorite thing is showing, and after I thought about it for a while, I knew that I had to go to the Denver stock show.” On Saturday, January 14, 2017, Glass experienced her very first flight when she, along with her mom, dad, sister and boyfriend, flew from Pennsylvania to Colorado. Upon her arrival, she was introduced to livestock coordinator, Clancy Anderson. “We were contacted about McKenzie’s wish back in December.” Anderson said. “Although there are a lot of moving
parts to how her wish was granted, I made initial contact with breeder, Matt Lautner, to ask if she could join him in the yards that weekend for the herd sire display.” Glass did not let the snowy yards keep her from making mile high memories. During the weekend she was welcomed by Lautner and spent time as a part of his team. “We were honored that she chose to work with our bulls and help us display at Matt Lautner Cattle,” Lautner said. “When you think of all the things that young person could choose to do, it says a lot about her and the show cattle industry that she chose to spend time at the National Western Stock Show.” Glass had a way of making an impact on the people that she interacted with. Lautner said, “she was a passionate young lady, and I hope our paths cross again soon.” Throughout the week, Glass saw a variety of high quality and interesting livestock across the grounds. “I’ve seen animals here that I’ve never seen before,” Glass said. “Like, you haven’t seen a steer until you’ve been to Denver.” Because of permission from the CEO and superintendent of the stock show, Glass was able to help recognize these remarkable livestock when she handed out the banner to the Grand Champion Market Hog showman. The following evening, she tailed steers with Laurie Reid of Showtimes Magazine during the Grand Champion Market Steer selection. Glass said that visiting the champion steers the next day for tea at the Brown Palace Hotel and Spa was the highlight of her week. “I loved being around people that just get it,” Glass said. “I like meeting new people, and it’s so much more fun and way easier to get to meet people from all over that understand what showing is all about.” MOVING FORWARD Glass has been in remission for more than two years. Now a sophomore in high school, Glass is eager to get back in the show ring. She still plans show another steer and market hog, but she has been trying to convince her dad to let her show a lamb this summer. “I’m always looking to expand my horizons, and I’ve never shown a lamb before,” Glass said. In a few years, she would like to attend Penn State University to study animal science and agricultural business. After spending a week with the members of the National Western staff including Anderson, Glass said, “Who know? I might even end up working for the National Western Stock Show some day.” Regardless of her plans, Glass will continue to be an inspiration and a light on the livestock industry. “She is one of the most outgoing 16-year-old girls I’ve ever had the chance to hang out with,” Anderson said. “She’s got an obvious passion for the livestock industry, and a girl like her is meant for big things.”

Maternal Made daughters of Chad Thompson’s
Maternal
There are three types of people...Those who
make it happen, those who watch it happen, and those who wonder what happened. MAKE IT HAPPEN. Maternal Made, built by a
legend who’s legacy lives on in the quality
left behind. 11 head of the first daughters
were just offered at auction in the Combined
Forces Sale by Chad Thompson and averaged over $11,OOO. The first calf reports
from semen use last year are coming in and the calves look awesome.
