Babydolls in the showring Goulets specialize in niche sheep industry BY JENNIFER COYNE STAFF WRITER
FOLEY — The Goulet family can best be described as passionate, driven and curious individuals. So, it comes as no surprise when the youngest son, Michael, found an interest in raising and showing Babydoll Southdown sheep at local and state livestock competitions. With two years under their belt, the Goulets – Raymond and Connie and their children, Aaron, Samantha, Nathan and Michael – are raising a small Áock of Babydoll sheep on their diversiÀed farm, CR Farm, near Foley. The Áock consists of one mature ram, nine ewes and several young lambs. The project Àrst began in 2015, after Michael noticed the pint-sized animals at the Minnesota State Fair. “We used to show market lambs, but it had been a while,” said Michael, 17. “The sheep project is a lot less stressful than others, so when I saw the Babydolls, I knew I wanted to

get back into the business.” This particular breed is universally known for their small stature. To be considered a purebred Babydoll, mature animals must measure between
22 and 24 inches in height from the front leg to the top of the shoulder; and weigh no more than 80 pounds. Babydolls are also easily recognized by their Àne wool
and smile-like shape of their mouth. “They’re primarily a wool breed with Àner wool than the [commercial] Southdowns,” Michael said. “For us, we’re
raising them to show at the county and state fairs. Babydolls are a good small, hobby animal.” Michael has participated in livestock shows since he was
old enough to safely handle an animal. Last year, he received second place for his Babydoll yearling ram at the Minnesota State Fair FFA show. “We’re a competitive family and enjoy that part of showing,” Raymond said. “It’s also fun to meet people with the same interests as you.” Raymond grew up in the local 4-H and FFA organizations and encouraged his children to explore the same opportunities. For the past 25 years, Raymond’s children have participated in the youth organizations, showing an array of animals – from chickens to hogs and cattle, and now Babydoll sheep. Not only has this time allowed for the family to reap the beneÀts of hard work, yet humbly cope with a loss in the competition, showing animals has given the Goulet children life-long skills. “Because of FFA, young people get to experience what it takes to raise and care for an animal. It teaches them responsibility,” Raymond said. “They also learn about parliamentary procedure and how the government works.” Aaron agreed. “We’ve also gained lifelong friendships because of it,” he said. Those friendships helped Michael become established in

Exotic sale gathers unique animals from across region
Rubes Sponsored by Fluegge’s Ag
PIERZ — It was standing room only at the Rich Livestock Sales Barn March 23 in Pierz, and on the auction block was any animal or bird out of the ordinary. The semi-annual Exotic Animal Sale drew hundreds of people from across the region to consign or buy animals. The two-day sale included hoofed animals on Friday and birds, waterfowl and rabbits on Saturday. “We had animals from the Àve-state area,” said sales manager Vern Pautsch. “We even had people come down from Canada.” Pautsch has been managing the sale since 1992. He holds two auctions a year, one in March and the second in October. “The prices at the fall sale aren’t as good as the spring sale since a lot of people don’t want to overwinter their animals,”
Pautsch said. This year’s spring sale had about 100 head of cattle consigned including Brahmas, Texas Longhorns, Scottish Highlands, Dutchbelted, British Whites, Herefords and lowline Angus. About 400 sheep and goats went through the auction ring along with 300-400 rabbits. And about 1,000 chickens, pheasants, ducks and other birds and waterfowl were sold. “In past years, I’ve had buffalo, kangaroos, zebras and camels on auction,” Pautsch said. This year, Pautsch said he had alligators and tortoises to sell. The alligators went for $100-200 depending on the size. The smaller tortoises brought more money of up to $900. “Some people come to the sale and say, ‘Hey, we don’t have one of those PHOTO BY ANDREA BORGERDING yet,’” Pautsch said.

Sales manager Vern Pautsch Pautsch said managing (right) stands ready to guide the cow out of the auction ring. About 100 head of cattle were consigned for the semi-annual sale.

going to be Àghting to get it included in Congress’s rewrite of the Farm Bill.” As Smith continues to debate and write the Farm Bill over the coming months, she plans to triple support for the REAP program and allow energy storage projects to qualify for its grant. She would authorize algae and animal waste to be eligible materials for BCAP, reauthorize the Feedstock Flexibility Program and the Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels and increase support for other programs as well. “The challenge of getting a Farm Bill through are real, and Colin Petersen and Sen. Klobuchar and I are working very hard to get it done,” Smith said. “I’m worried that there will be some belief that we could just do an extension and not do the whole bill. Operations like this and all over Minnesota really need the certainty of knowing that we’ve got a strong Farm Bill that has good, basic farm programs, good conservation programs and good rural development.”

PRINCETON — U.S. Sen. Tina Smith made her way to a local dairy farm March 26. Smith, a member of the senate agriculture committee, toured Haubenschild Farm Inc. in Princeton, where she learned about the farm’s bio-digester, which uses farm byproducts to produce electricity for the farm and area homes. The tour was one leg in Smith’s weeklong tour in Minnesota as she prepares to help write the next federal Farm Bill in Congress. Dennis and Marsha Haubenschild, along with their adult sons, Tom and Bryan, operate a 1,400-Holstein dairy with help from 28 full-timeequivalent employees. “The Haubenschilds are running a top-notch dairy operation and also showing how to be as efÀcient as possible,” Smith said. “That is good for the farm, good for the bottom line, and it is also good for the environment.” Smith hopes to have a strong energy section in the next Farm Bill so the agricultural industry can build or expand through cost-saving energy projects. Smith’s Agricultural Energy Programs Reauthorization Act aims to strengthen energy programs like Rural Energy for America Program, and the Biomass Crop Assistance Program. “Family farms like Haubenschild supply Minnesota with great local products, and they do it in a way that strengthens their own communities,” Smith said. “Haubenschild deploys a technology that cuts costs, encourages homegrown energy and has allowed them to expand their operations. I want to see more of this happening around the state — especially with the ag community still struggling to power through low commodity prices. My legislation expands what works for our farm communities, and I’m

As for pork, China and Hong Kong buy about a billion dollars worth of pork and there are reports of China planning 25 percent tariffs on U.S. pork imports. Because pork prices in China have dropped after hog prices lost as much as 30 percent in the past three months, a ban or high tariffs on U.S. pork would potentially have minimal impact on Chinese supplies. China also has an oversupply of other ag products. The United States trade representative’s chief ag negotiator Gregg Doud said China has stockpiles of almost half of the world’s residual supply of wheat, 40 percent of the world’s residual supply of corn, more than 60 percent of rice, nearly half of the world’s cotton and more than 20

At coffee shops and local farmer gathering spots, it’s impossible to avoid questions and speculation about trade and potential retaliation by the Chinese in response to the presidents’ plan to impose tariffs on Chinese products entering the United States. In retaliation for the $60 billion in tariffs against Chinese goods entering the United States, China says it plans to impose reciprocal tariffs on $3 billion worth of U.S. imports, with agriculture goods at the top of the list. The state-run Chinese media has already indicated that American soy exports could be targeted with other reports listing U.S. pork and sorghum as potential targets. China is the second largest export market for American farmers and ranchers and retaliatory tariffs would have an immediate and long-lasting impact on farmers, particularly Midwest farmers growing soybeans or raising hogs. Nearly $14 billion in annual soy exports could face an immediate tax and according to American Soybean Association President, John Heisdorffer, “If demand drops and prices collapse, soybean farmers will go out of business. Not in Àve or 10 years, but this year and next.” Heisdorffer said the combination of a bumper Brazilian crop, prospects of record United States soybean acreage, and relative export weakness set the stage for a bearish beginning to spring.
