Herd health is all about prevention. If you can nutritionally prevent illness and disease - it just makes life easier than pumping CTC into the animal all year to treat medical problems.

SQM eliminates these issues and provides the balanced nutritional program I’m looking for to optimize my operation.

RANGEMATE SUPREME MINERAL

Based on my experiences with SQM’, I would tell my customers, “You can use SQM now or I can visit you with a syringe later.” We’re seeing excellent health and performance results with SQM.

Spotlight

on the cover

Wayne Baize

grew up near Abilene, Texas, around working ranches, so he has firsthand knowledge of his favorite subjects to paint – the contemporary cowboy and his livestock. At an early age Wayne learned the value of a good horse and helped break horses as a youth. Later he and his brother, Arlon, raised registered Quarter horses.

Wayne and his wife, Ellen, live in far West Texas on a small ranch out of Fort Davis, where they raised four children and run a small herd of registered Hereford cattle.

In 1995, Wayne was invited to become a member of the Cowboy Artists of America. Being a member of the CA is the fulfillment of a dream, but also a challenge to be always improving in his art. Wayne has served as a director in the organization and as vice-president and president. He has won a silver medal in drawing and the TCA Award, Best Portrayal of a Cowboy Subject, at the CA Annual Show. He has won numerous other awards and his art has been featured in major magazines such as Western Horseman, The Cattleman, Quarter Horse Journal, The Hereford Journal, and Texas Monthly.

Welcome

to the 2016 nile! from NILE President JASON EUELL

W

elcome to the 49th annual Northern International Livestock Exposition! On behalf of the board of directors, thank you for helping to make the NILE one of America’s premier stock shows and rodeos.

Since its inception, the NILE has been a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion of livestock, agricultural education and respect for western culture. We are once again excited to host outstanding exhibitors and contestants from across the United States and Canada. Exhibitors, spectators, contestants and fans alike will be impressed by the quality of the lineup of events at this year’s show.

The NILE continues to expand its dates to accommodate the growth of exhibitors and added events.

This year the week starts out with our NILE Ranch Rodeo Finals Saturday night at the Metra. On Sunday, the tradeshow and livestock shows begin.

Be sure to check these out. We are thrilled with the number of breeds that see the value in exhibiting and showcasing their genetics at the NILE. Sunday also marks a new event this year, the Battle on the Yellowstone Timed Events Challenge.

Youth and agricultural education are primary focuses. Monday begins our fourth grade ag education programs. Also FFA and 4-H members from around the region arrive for the Livestock Evaluation and Sales & Service contests. It has been almost 30 years since I participated in these

contests as part of the Huntley Project FFA, and it is still one of my favorite parts of the week. Other youth programs include Junior Fed shows, the Club Calf Show, Merit Heifer Show and more.

The expansion of our dates this year have allowed our horse shows more opportunities to utilize the Metra. Mid-week horse events include the NILE AQHA Ranchers Heritage Challenge / NRCHA combined show, the Gold Buckle Horse Futurities and multiple high-quality horse events and sales.

The NILE means PRCA Rodeo. This is one of the earliest opportunities in the season for professional cowboys and cowgirls to qualify for the 2017 National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. Plan on seeing past NFR champions as well as top upand-comers during three nightly performances concluding Saturday. Top NFR stock, announcers, clowns and contestants continue to make this a highlight of the week.

Staff, NILE members and volunteers put in countless hours to make this event successful year after year. We are grateful for all the hard work and devotion from these individuals. The generosity of our sponsors is also greatly appreciated.

Please support those businesses who support the NILE, and let them know that their advertising dollars are being well spent.

We welcome you to come and be part of the tradition and heritage that is the NILE.

Jennifer C. Boka, NILE General Manager

Welcome to the 49th

Annual Northern International Livestock Stock Show and Rodeo. In 49 years Billings has been a railroad town, known as the magic city, seen growth, change and advancements. One thing that has been consistent is the NILE, dedicated to the respect for the culture and the western way of life while supporting the future of agriculture through today’s youth.

Each October MetraPark is abuzz with over 1,800 exhibitors and it is time once again to welcome each of you to town.

We look forward to our exhibitors arriving with stellar quality livestock indicative of the hard work and high caliber of all your programs. The entire NILE team anxiously awaits the arrival of each and every one of you!

Once you arrive this year, you will be treated to much of the historic greatness of years past with a few slight changes to the schedule. What show doesn’t start with a bang and end the same way?!

For that very reason, we are featuring the outstanding ranch cowboys in our NILE Farstad Oil Ranch Rodeo as the feature event on Saturday night, Oct. 15. Sunday morning the Shorthorn cattle show lead the way for the week of 14 different breed shows starting off bright and early at 8 a.m. in the Expo. Our Junior Fed contestants show off their hard work and dedication in the Montana Pavilion. The MetraArena will be activity filled each and every day of this year’s stock show and Sunday morning at 9 brings the timed event cowboys to town for the Battle on the Yellowstone featuring 30+ of the best timed event contestants the state has to offer. Each contestant will team rope, both heading and healing, tie down rope and steer wrestle their way to the Sunday evening finals beginning at 6 p.m. This event is free of charge and an exceptional way to preview what’s to come in the PRCA rodeo later in the week.

As kids are the mainstay of NILE, we have made a change to the NILE Livestock Judging contest, moving the entire contest into the Metra Arena Monday. This will give these outstanding future “agvocates” the opportunity to judge livestock under the lights of the big arena. Continuing daily in the Expo center are the many breeds shows, including the Simmental Show and Lowline shows both returning to the NILE after their noted absence for quite some time. Wednesday offers something for cattle enthusiasts of all types with the Cattlemen’s Cut Judging contest, allowing John Q. Public to judge right alongside the pros for a chance to win!

Tuesday features our youth once again with the tradition of the NILE Junior Fed Sale. If you’re not a NILE exhibitor but want to help our NILE kids, come on out and purchase one of these outstanding animals and help a kiddo save for college in the process.

Take a deep look into the schedule and you will see that each day is jammed packed throughout the week with horse events. Tuesday is just another example of the finest horse flesh in Montana with the Running of the Rims Barrel Race.

Wednesday features the working cow horse elite in the NILE Ranching Heritage Challenge. Thursday we take great pride in the NILE Gold Buckle Futurities as we shine the spotlight on the outstanding horses that have been involved in the NILE Gold Buckle sales of years past. If an entire week of horse events has you longing to add to your cavvy, be sure to put the NILE horse sales on your calendar. The lineup featured in this very magazine is nothing short of spectacular. Plan on purchasing your next great addition right here at NILE from one of this years over 200 consignments.

Pro rodeo action returns with a slight change to the schedule.

For many of you die-hard rodeo fans, rodeo slack is a can’t miss.

This year it will be Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. where we will run all of the timed events including the barrel racers who are not able to make it into one of the nightly rodeo performances.

If you enjoy the thrill of the rodeo performance, be sure to be at one of the nightly rodeos beginning Thursday night at 7 and wrapping up Saturday night at 7. Returning to the rodeo this year will be both the action packed wild pony riding and the high school showcase. Be sure to check the nightly schedule to make sure you get to both of these as they are a definite event highlight. While marking your must-see list, don’t forget to add Supreme Row where we award the bronze boot to the best of the best from our breeding cattle shows.

Wow, that was a lot to be said in a short amount of space but now you know, we truly are excited to have everyone here. We have planned something for each of you with an ag interest and look forward to greeting you all at MetraPark the week of October 15-22.

the 2016 NILE show opens, two men are remembered for the footprints they left in the show-ring, the echoes of their colorful and

Industry giant Pat Goggins and former U.S. Senator Conrad Burns, both of Billings, passed away in the last year. The NILE recognizes their contributions in creating, growing and maintaining the exposition that has become a trademark of Montana agriculture.

Goggins and Burns both came from hardscrabble backgrounds and rose to success in their respective areas. Both were witness to the blueprints of the largest ag event in the northwest cattle industry,

Goggins as a mastermind and the first NILE president; Burns as the assistant then general manager of the organization. Both were lifelong supporters and advocates of the exhibition.

“They both thought the NILE was important not only to Billings, but to this whole northern country,” says Bob Cook, manager of Public Auction Yards in Billings, son-in-law of Goggins and former NILE director and president. “They were friends; they had a clear understanding of each other and definitely could banter with each other.

Neither was afraid to tell the other what was on their mind.”

“They were both very strong individuals, and both left a great impact on the state of Montana,” says Cook.

They were just two of many who created the NILE, yet perhaps two who left some of the deepest impressions in the arena dust.

Each left different legacies – one of building a business empire, one of public service. One championed commerce, one championed commerce policy. Each was a unique, memorable individual whose work and contributions impacted those who followed behind them.

People were proud to know them and work for them.

Pat Goggins:

The visionary patriarch

T

he year was 1967, and the purebred beef industry was booming. A talented auctioneer, newspaperman, Angus breeder and promoter of livestock – and life in general – had an inspiration

Most agree it was a collaboration of several businessmen of the Billings Chamber of Commerce livestock committee – tasked with promoting the cattle industry and developing commerce for area ag. But few would argue that Pat Goggins was the vigorous champion, the steady backer, and in most ways, the patriarch of the Northern International Livestock Exposition.

Their plan was to create a livestock exhibition similar to the National Western Stock Show in Denver, and bring people to visit the home state of some of the most solid and sought-after genetics in the livestock industry. Why not redirect the excitement – and the commerce – 550 miles north?

“Pat had a vision, back then, to make a show and pattern it after Denver,” says Bob Cook, manager of Public

Auction Yards in Billings, and son-in-law of Goggins. “In many ways, he spearheaded the drive to get it going, and remained involved for many, many years.”

Cook, who also has been involved with the NILE himself for many years, sitting on the board of directors and serving as president, said, “Pat had the vision but he certainly wasn’t the only one,” Ray Frank, now of Missoula, owned Western Ranch Supply in Billings for most of his career, and was on the original NILE board of directors and later president. “[Pat] probably donated more time and effort into it than anybody because of his involvement with the stockyards, and knowing the kind of things that were happening at the Denver Stock Show,” says Frank.

“As an auctioneer, I could see that people were interested in this part of the world and in the genetics we had to offer. I suggested that we put on a national ‘all performance’ show open to all breeds.”

In his authorized biography, “As I Saw It,” by Linda Grosskopf, editor of the Western Livestock Reporter, Goggins is quoted: “As an auctioneer, I could see that people were interested in this part of the world and in the genetics we had to offer. I suggested that we put on a national ‘all performance’ show open to all breeds.”

Goggins also suggested a revolutionary, and controversial, idea – provide livestock performance data to show judges to consider along with their evaluation of the live animal.

“Quite a few people … thought we were shooting at the show ring, but we weren’t,” Goggins said. “My thought was to combine the two to get the best and to have input from both sides – show ring as well as performance data.”

The various purebred cattle associations had representatives on NILE’s board of directors, and committed to running their respective breed shows at the upcoming exhibition. Word “leaked out” that governors of many surrounding states, as well as possibly president Lyndon Johnson and Canadian prime minister Lester Pearson, planned to attend.

The plaques that Pat Goggins, on the right, is holding are worth $1,000 a piece. They go to charter members of the NILE, who have contributed $1,000 to underwrite the shows. Several were presented at the NILE kickoff dinner.

At left is Leland Roen, North Dakota State Senator from Bowman and the banquet speaker.

Center is William Mackay, Montana State Senator from Roscoe and President of the Montana Stockgrowers Association.”

Montana’s Governor Tim Babcock referred to it as “the most important project Billings has ever undertaken.”

According to Grosskopf ’s research, the Dec. 6, 1967, front page of the Billings Gazette read: “NILE is on its way! The Northern International Livestock Exposition, which for the past year or so has been a titillating prospect, is now due to become a reality! The show will be held in October 1968, and the fairgrounds will be the site of all livestock functions.”

The ball was rolling, along with fundraising.

Goggins was elected president, a full slate of officers and board members were initiated, a fundraising manager was hired, and a variety of fundraising and promotional events were held. A kick-off dinner took place in February 1968, where Goggins was one of several charter members to receive a plaque for his $1,000 underwriting support.

The “200 Club” was formed during this era. According to Ralph Stenehjem, the first secretary-treasurer for the NILE and the ag rep for Midland National Bank at the time, the idea is credited to Oscar Cooke, creator of Oscar’s Dreamland Museum. In an article about the history of the NILE published circa 1982 in the newspaper The Exposition, Stenehjem noted Cooke came forward with the plan to recruit 200 people to pay $200 a piece, or more, to build the NILE organization. He solicited the first 13 members – and the 200 Club was born.

“We wouldn’t have survived without Oscar Cooke’s idea for the 200 Club,” Stenehjem said. Goggins held the honor of being the “No. 1” member in the club. “The level of participation by Pat and others involved may have changed over the years, but they always called it the 200 Club,” says Cook.

In June of 1968 two significant events developed in Goggins’

business sphere – he purchased the former Billings Public Stockyards Company, renamed it Public Auction Yards with the not-so-subliminal acronym, PAYS, and launched a second newspaper – tailored to the local livestock and farming industry, named The Farm Livestock Weekly.

That fall the inaugural NILE show opened Oct. 30 and ran for four days through Nov. 2. The lineup of activities included purebred cattle shows and sales, a live carcass show, market lamb and sheep breeding classes, barrow show and swine breeding classes, and a horse show and sale. In addition to purebred events, one of the biggest components of the NILE the first several years were the commercial cattle shows, according to Cook. “Ranchers would bring pens of 5 or 20 feeder calves then sell them,” he says.

Most of the NILE livestock shows were held at the Midland Empire Fair Grounds, site of today’s MetraPark.

However, action was hopping across

town at PAYS as well. Many of the purebred auctions were held at the stockyards, and an advertisement in the Oct. 27, 1968 Billings Gazette headlined: “We’re Shootin’ for 10,000 Head This Week At PAYS,” and listed a feeder calf sale along with other specialty auctions in conjunction with the NILE. In 1969 the NILE held its second show, with Goggins continuing as president. In December he stepped down but continued to serve on the board of directors for almost 15 years. In the fall of 1969, the Yellowstone Building burned down.

The show continued without a main building for several years, until the METRA was completed in 1975.

“Having the METRA really opened up the door for growth,” says Cook.

By the mid-1980s there were fullfledged breed shows, junior shows, a PRCA rodeo and, eventually, horse shows. “It got to be a pretty big deal,” says Frank. “I think it turned out to be a lot bigger and more successful than any of us [on the founding committee] could have planned.”

– his family, Goggins “had a passion for the NILE and always did,” according to Cook, even when the show weathered tough times in the 1980s and fought demise. In 2000 the NILE board of directors presented Goggins with one of its first Trail Blazer awards for 30 years or more of service.

The Angus female sale has been going on for over 40 years. According to Cook, the Vermillion Ranch and Russ Pepper of Birdtail Ranch Angus in Simms, Mont., are the only two consignors that have been at every single NILE Angus sale since its inception.

The list of accomplishments, accolades, and tributes to Goggins is lengthy. He passed away on Dec. 31, 2015, leaving a deep imprint on business, government, the livestock industry, and many people.

Through the continual growth of his livestock dynasty, including ranches, purebred breeding operations, cattle feeding enterprises, two newspapers, real estate, and perhaps to Goggins, most important of all

Those involved with and positively impacted by the NILE can be thankful that on that list of successful ventures of Pat Goggins is a “show that would provide glamour and excitement to the livestock industry.”

ifelong cattleman with a passion for agriculture.

Superb communicator and cultivator of ideas.

Honored veteran. Steadfast statesman. True family man.

The Honorable Retired U.S. Senator Conrad Burns was all of this and more.

Burns grew up in northwest Missouri, where his parents, Russell and Mary Frances, grew crops and raised registered Angus cattle on 160 acres Burns often referred to as “two rocks and a dirt.” He studied animal science and journalism at the University of Missouri for two years. However, the call of service was stronger and he joined the U.S. Marine Corps which he served from 1955-1957.

During his college years, on his way hitchhiking to a summer job in Idaho, Burns fell in love with Montana. Before a job as fieldman with the American Polled Hereford Association brought him back to Montana in 1962, he spent time in the military and with TWA and Ozark Airlines in Kansas. Burns based in Billings and traveled the northwestern corner of

Her version? “I turned him down, because I was sick with laryngitis,” Phyllis said. “He kept calling, and I kept saying ‘No, why would I want to date that old man?’ until eventually I gave in.” They married in 1967. “Conrad stayed married to me all those years because I kept laughing at his jokes,” says Phyllis.

Burns was ready to stick a little closer to home, and in 1968, he accepted the position of assistant general manager of the newly formed Northern International Livestock Exposition, under Reno Banks. Burns was

He also recruited Lila Vescovi, daughter of a Hereford breeder from Roundup, to serve as the official show “hostess,” welcoming attendees astride a stately horse and wearing a sash and hat.

needed a nap, the desk in the NILE office sufficed as a crib. “I ran into someone the other day who said, ‘I still remember when you used to put your daughter in the desk drawer at the NILE!’” laughed Phyllis.

The 1969 NILE had a style show for the women, and Phyllis, Babe Goggins and Jean Walton, wife of Allen Walton (who later became general manager), were on the organizational committee.

That year the NILE also showcased another inaugural event for Billings. Phyllis recalls, “Conrad surveyed the exhibition hall and decided it would work great to bring the rodeo inside!” They covered the floor with a foot of dirt, and Billings’ first indoor rodeo transpired.

A few months later work crews welding on the Yellowstone Building accidentally ignited it, burning it to the ground. Discussion ensued as to 28

where to hold the show. Legend is true that Burns, along with Dave Drum of Polson, was responsible for the sketch on the back of a paper napkin outlining the design for a new building. The idea was to create a meeting place that would serve as Montana’s entertainment, trade and recreation area – the METRA. Thus the state’s largest indoor seating complex was constructed, completed in 1975.

Burns’ natural talents led to a job as auctioneer and broadcaster for Billings Livestock Commission, where he produced radio market reports and worked as the farm and ranch news director of KULR8 television. However, as Burns himself bluntly summed up in an interview with Vic Miller for the Greater Montana Foundation Legacy Broadcasters Initiative: “I got fired.”

The reason is one any good cattleman can relate to. The “smell of money” at A publication of

times lingered when he would show up to film the KULR8 noon market report after loading cattle at the stockyards all morning.

“They had just gotten a new manager who came out of Los Angeles,” Burns described the situation, “and he didn’t like cowboys or people that chewed tobacco – or worked in the stockyards. I get up there to do the noonday broadcast, and – if you work in the stockyards, you don’t have to get down and roll in it to smell like it – he said, ‘You’re not going to go in there smelling like that!’

“I told him, ‘Well, I know they can see us and hear us, but I didn’t know they could smell us.’”

According to Phyllis, Burns promptly removed the most offensive culprit – which happened to be his pants – and

The closed window led to the open door that eventually grew to become the Northern Broadcasting System. Burns collaborated with a man named Dale Fairlee and they started an agricultural news program transmitted to radio stations by telephone. “It was very expensive to use telephone at the time,” says Phyllis. “But Conrad worked hard to add stations and grew the network greatly.”

The Northern Ag Network became a dominant force in Montana ag reporting, and the gregarious Burns was often asked to serve as a speaker at ag events across the region. “He would charge $1 per head per person in attendance as his speaking fee,” recalls Phyllis. “He figured it was good advertising for the network.”

Although at the time Burns did not have political ambitions, his reputation grew along with the network, and he unknowingly developed what would become a strong voting base of supporters.

Dave Wilson of Fisher Radio once wrote: “To see Conrad address a group of farmers and ranchers is akin to watching the Pied Piper. He jokes, he reports, he investigates, he relates. People will follow him anywhere.”

It was Burns’ love of the fair, livestock shows, and primarily the youth who participated that involuntarily launched his career in politics. In an interview for his appointment to the National Farm Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2011,

Burns told the story of how he entered his first election: “I went to a fair board meeting, and I didn’t like the way they were treating the kids. You know – fairs are for kids.

They were trying to push the [kids’ livestock pens] out the backside of the fairgrounds, and make more room for the carnival and horseracing.

“And this one county commissioner stood up and said, ‘Well, times change, faces change, some things gotta go and some things gotta stay.’ And I said, ‘By gosh, that’s probably a pretty good idea – and it’s gonna be you.’

“And so I ran against him and beat him.

And that’s where I started in politics.”

After two years as Yellowstone County Commissioner, Burns was recruited by the state Republican committee to run

as a candidate against the Democratic incumbent U.S. Senator. Burns was the dark horse. “We had people everywhere tell us, ‘I didn’t think you could win but I voted for you anyway,’” recalls Burns. But win he did; three times.

Burns served 18 years in Washington, D.C., passing legislation and bringing home funding that helped Montana prosper and the telecommunications industry move forward nationwide.

“I had one [constituent] tell me, ‘You’re supposed to be representing agriculture, not that technology stuff,’” recollected Burns on video. “I told him – ‘Look what technology is doing [with video cattle auctions and the internet].

If we don’t have technology, we don’t have agriculture.’

“Broadcasters are so important in our society,” he concluded. “They not

Despite Senator Conrad Burns’ many accolades, to those witness to the impact he left on the Northern International Livestock Exposition, one of his strongest legacies was championing good livestock and hard-working kids.

Full Circle Jason Euell of Billings is the current NILE president, and will see the organization through its 50th anniversary in 2017.

“NILE is an advocate of the ag industry, and perhaps, more importantly, is a huge supporter of the youth who will be our future agriculture leaders.”

–JASON EUELL, NILE PRESIDENT

NILE president’s roots in ag keep bringing him back to the NILE

By Tamara Choat

A

history of accomplishment and a drive to succeed are trademarks of Jason Euell’s life.

However, some fast feet – or cowboy boots, if you will – were also vital to the current NILE president’s initial involvement with the organization. As a sophomore from Huntley Project High School, Euell competed in the NILE Calf Scramble, which awarded a steer calf to those swift enough to catch and halter one of the calves released into the ring during the nightly rodeo. He also routinely competed at the NILE livestock judging as a member and president of Huntley Project FFA. Raised on an irrigated farm near Ballantine, Euell’s ancestors homesteaded outside of Jordan, and his family has lived and worked in Montana for generations. As Euell, who today lives in Billings, headed down the path that led him to become a successful banker, community leader, volunteer, and family man, he continued to stay true to his roots.

He secured a degree in business finance from Montana State University, where he was also a member of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity. His professional career in banking included working for Norwest Bank (now merged with Wells Fargo) in Billings, Gillette, Wyoming, Havre, Lewistown, and Dillon before returning to Billings. In 2014 he joined US Bank, where he is now a commercial relationship manager and vice president. His accolades include sales and service awards with Norwest/Wells Fargo, and attending the Norwest College of Commercial Credit and the Wells Fargo College of Management.

Euell says banking has been a great inroad to opportunity for community service in the areas he’s lived.

“Banking has historically been an industry that is very supportive of the communities we serve,” says Euell. “I have had the opportunity to serve on the boards for many area non-profits and work with local government groups in many of the towns where I have lived and worked.”

Euell’s wife, Shauna, grew up on a family farm near Scottsbluff, Neb., which her family still operates. Their children, Hailey, 12, and Colter, 8, attend Billings Catholic schools and keep their parents busy attending basketball, soccer, golf, and football games.

His service work includes finance committee volunteer for the Miles City Bucking Horse Sale, rodeo chairman for the Dillon Jaycee Rodeo, board member and president of the Billings Downtown Exchange Club, and board member and president of the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation. Euell was also a member of the Leadership Billings program and is in the 2017 class of the Leadership Montana program.

WE UNDERSTAND CONFIDENT DECISIONS ONLY COME FROM TIME IN THE SADDLE

Euell has been a volunteer for the NILE for more than 10 years, starting by joining the PRCA rodeo committee, which he still works with today, then serving on the board of directors.

In 2016 he also joined the board of the NILE Foundation, which primarily focuses on funding youth and ag programs and scholarships.

“I enjoy the NILE because of its mission of supporting Montana and our Western heritage,” he says. “NILE is an advocate of the ag industry, and perhaps, more importantly, is a huge supporter of the youth who will be our future agriculture leaders.”

Euell says his fondest memory of the organization is from 2010. In June, a tornado tore through the MetraPark and the committee was uncertain if it would be feasible to hold the NILE that year. But thanks to the dedication of the community, the show did go on.

“Although it was challenging, we were able to put on the fall show in 2010 and I have a great fondness for those who helped to ensure the future of the NILE during that period of hardship,” he says.

“We received enormous support from staff, volunteers, members, area businesses, county commissioners, and the ag industry as a whole – I was extremely 2016

proud of our community during this time.”

In 2017 the NILE will celebrate its 50th anniversary as a healthy and vibrant organization. However, Euell notes that has not always been the case. Just like ag commodity markets, the financial stability of the NILE has fluctuated over time.

“One of my goals as NILE president is to continue to ensure the future of the organization by further strengthening its financial position. I also want to make sure we take the time to say thank you and recognize

all the individuals and groups that have supported NILE over these 50 years and made it the great organization it is today.”

The exponential impact of the NILE on the community and region, especially for youth and families, is what reverberates most with Euell and drives his service.

“Montana is where I choose to live and raise my family; I work every day to provide for them and to make their home and community a better place to live.”

Roots & Boots Billings Mayor Tom Hanel supports NILE, agriculture By kayla sargent

“Whenever I get the opportunity to speak in public, I always remind people that farming and ranching is the backbone of Montana” –TOM HANEL, BILLINGS MAYOR

A

heritage rooted in agriculture often lasts through generations.

Billings, Montana Mayor Tom Hanel’s heritage is rooted on the family ranch near Miles City, Montana. Those roots get the opportunity to surface with his role as the mayor of Billings but especially in his substantial support for the NILE. “Whenever I get the opportunity to speak in public, I always remind people that farming and ranching is the backbone of Montana,” Hanel said.

“It makes me proud because that’s where my heritage comes from.”

In Hanel’s two terms serving the city of Billings, he has promoted agriculture whenever the opportunity arose. One of his most successful methods of advocating for the industry within Billings is by supporting the NILE organization.

“The NILE is an extraordinary, fine organization with great leadership and an emphasis on educating youth and the public about the livestock industry as well as the importance of people working together,” Hanel said.

The excitement he and his wife, Robin, share for the organization is evident in their enthusiastic support and publicity of the event around the city, their financial contributions,

TRI-STATE LIVESTOCK NEWS

their attendance at events or even working in person with the NILE staff. Hanel’s support of the program has not gone unnoticed.

“We can always count on him being that ‘agvocate’ in everything that we do, whether its a rodeo event or a county commissioners meeting or even working with the ag committee that runs and organizes the fairgrounds here,” said Jennifer Boka, NILE general manager. “He’s just very pro-ag, and that means pro-NILE.” There are countless reasons that Hanel is such a strong advocate for the NILE. From a city standpoint, one of the more obvious reasons is the economic impact it has on Billings.

“When there’s a NILE event in town, a lot of people come in from rural areas. These people need to shop and stock up on supplies and usually stay in hotels for a few nights,” Hanel said. “It generates a lot of money.”

There are several NILE events throughout the year leading up to the Stock Show in October. Each event brings a crowd to town and many of them last more than one day.

“The NILE does over 6.2 million dollars in economic impact through all of our events per year to the county,” Boka said. “We bring countless visitors to the county and they spend

an exponential amount of dollars in town. People come to town for a NILE event and they generally spend two to three nights there,” Boka said.

While the economic impact is definitely substantial and reason enough for Hanel to support the NILE, there are other important factors that he considers in his support for the organization.

“Sure, the revenue is important, but that’s not the first thought that I have when I think about how the NILE affects the city,” Mayor Hanel said. “It is the benefits it has on the cattle industry and our youth. That’s the most integral component - the support of our youth.”

The NILE offers many programs targeted specifically at helping youth in agriculture succeed. They have the chance to earn scholarships and become involved in their community while learning how to effectively promote agriculture. The NILE opens a line of communication between rural communities and the city and people of Billings.

As the NILE approaches its 50th year, it continues to grow and prosper. Even though Hanel only has a year and half left of his final term serving Billings, he says he will definitely remain a major supporter of the NILE. “With more free time, the opportunity may arise to become more involved and I would enjoy continuing to support the NILE,” Hanel said.

“The NILE events at the Metra, for example, attract local people that aren’t otherwise connected to agriculture.

It’s an opportunity to educate them and a chance for them to connect with a whole new atmosphere of people that they don’t normally get to,” Hanel said. “The awareness program and the education is outstanding.”

Seeing the many positive aspects the NILE has on the city of Billings and the agriculture industry, Hanel and Yellowstone County Commissioners, John Ostlund, Jim Reno and Bill Kennedy, have gone out of their way to find ways to support the organization and associated events.

“Mayor Hanel and the county commissioners, who are just as strong of supporters, have been instrumental in providing us with a large grant from the county that helps promote and fund our educational projects,” Boka said.

This group has always helped get NILE sanctioned events on the calendar for the city of Billings and promotes them largely.

“In past years, the county commissioners and Mayor Hanel have been strong proponents of the NILE parade and we hope to bring that back for our 50th anniversary in 2017,” Boka said.

A bronc, a smart horse and cholla

By Jan Swan Wood

Years ago when I was working on a ranch in New Mexico, I had an experience that I wouldn’t have believed if I hadn’t seen it for myself.

When I went to work on the outfit, I was told I could have one personal horse. I had a string of horses assigned to me when I signed on, so I wasn’t really in need of my personal horse, but I had a big gelding that I knew I had better keep riding or he’d get to where I couldn’t. I called this horse Luke and he was a four year old and stood well over 16 hands. He was a well bred horse and good looking but had had a bad start before I got him and was a dirty, treacherous son of a gun.

SADDLE WOES: The Off-Side Cinch Strap

He could really buck, but worse than that, he was a dangerous on the ground. He’d strike you without much provocation and could kick a person no matter where you were standing if within six feet. I only curried him where I needed to put the saddle and had “stolen” rides on him for about four months when I headed south.

His arrival on the ranch was heralded by virtually every horse in the 85 head cavvy having to take a run at him. His upholstery got a little marred, but he was quick and fast and figured out how to stay alive. I didn’t feel very sorry for his friendless state and thought he might decide he liked me if he didn’t have any horse friends.

Volunteer of the Year

JeanNe Downey Every Expo is like a family reunion

By Nicole Michaels

T

ireless, cheerful, and always willing to lend a hand—that’s how some characterize NILE Volunteer of the Year Jeanne Downey.

The Broadview, Montana resident exemplifies what the Northern International Livestock Exposition is looking for in its application at thenile.org.

“It gets me out and about and around people,” says Downey, 53. “I just love the people who run the NILE and I love the volunteers.”

It’s just about Downey’s favorite time of year and something she enjoys with mentor and cousin Dorothy Frey, a former award recipient herself.

The two can be found bunking together and talking into the wee hours of the night about their day helping exhibitors settle in at the trade show. They also collaborate on the Montana Agri-Trade Exposition (MATE) held over winter.

Downey feels others in her core group of 30 were more deserving of the 2015 title, but she was delighted by the personalized attention that was paid to her award.

Instead of a bouquet of flowers, she received a bouquet of quilter’s fabric scraps known as “fat quarters.”

Downey is a quilter by trade, working out of an old log cabin in Broadview. She gets orders for her work from all over the country and what she does is skilled and specialized. Other crafters send Downey their roughed out quilts, and then Downey free-hands stitching over the top using a hand-held machine she equates to a giant

pencil. She puts together a finished quit, completing the batting and backing and binding.

The hours she puts in at her trade gives her a kinship with the vendors she supports come NILE time.

“I understand how hard they work,” Downey says, especially of the vendors who make their own items.

Known as the Trading Post, the trade show features authentic western art, jewelry, saddles, tack and western wear as well as livestock equipment, feed and supplements, and cattle genetics companies. It’s also the place to get NILE merchandise. More than 100 vendors are scheduled to man their booths in the Exhibit Hall and Cattle Barn. For a complete list, go to the NILE web page.

A typical day starts at 7 a.m. and Downey can be found bringing in donuts. She isn’t likely to make it back to her motel until 9 p.m., and even then, she wants to rehash the day with Frey – what went well, what could have gone better, who she got to visit with or maybe meeting somebody new.

Every year feels like a family reunion.

Downey grew up farming and ranching around Broadview and enjoys supporting agriculture. She’s only 18 miles from the farm of her childhood and lives on an old homestead now. “I live where my mother was raised,” she says.

She and her husband keep a handful of cows and a few horses. “My quilting and other projects keep me very busy.”

Even though volunteering is demanding, Downey wouldn’t think of skipping it. It’s become a reunion of sorts for her and Frey. “We’re just a real cohesive group,” Downey says.

“We all work well together and everybody is fun to be around and has a good sense of humor.”

Frey says Downey embodies a willingness to serve. “She never hesitates to help somebody, never says no, just goes ahead and does it, whatever it is.”

Her organizational and leadership skills are first-rate, Frey says. “She does anything and everything. She remembers everybody’s names, the booth plan. She’s just got the knack for it and if we ever run into a problem, she’ll get it all straightened out.”

KEEP YOUR HORSE IN THE PICTURE.

Although not well-known, Leptospira interrogans serovar Pomona can cause devastating problems. L. pomona can colonize in the kidneys, be shed in the urine and the horse can become septicemic, which can potentially lead to abortion, uveitis and acute renal failure. LEPTO EQ INNOVATORÂŽ is the first Leptospira vaccine developed specifically for horses to help prevent leptospirosis caused

by L. pomona. It also helps prevent infections of the blood, which could, but has not been demonstrated to, help reduce the potential risk of equine recurrent uveitis, abortion or acute renal failure caused by L. pomona.* An efficacy trial demonstrated LEPTO EQ INNOVATOR safely helps prevent L. pomona infections and urinary shedding.1 A safety trial showed it was 99.8% reaction-free.2,3 To learn more, visit LEPTOEQINNOVATOR.com. *Currently, there are no vaccines available with USDA-licensed label claims against equine abortions, uveitis or acute renal failure due to L. pomona.

Battle on the

yellowstone

Cowboys battle in multi-event challenge

By Savanna Simmons

Battle on the Yellowstone Rimrock Auto Arena, MetraPark Billings, Montana

S unday

Oct. 16 9 a.m. First and Second Rounds 5:30 p.m. Calcutta 6 p.m. Finals

R

ope, wrestle, ride. The NILE is featuring a new event, Battle on the Yellowstone, in which participants must head, heel, steerwrestle, and calf-rope in three rounds of competition.

The event will take place in the Rimrock Auto Arena at MetraPark in Billings, Montana, Oct. 16. The event will accept entries up until the event, with four spots being held for high school and four for college competitors. The cost is $750 per entry.

Matt Wznick hosted the challenge last year in Sidney, Montana, in which 11 cowboys participated, but he is glad NILE decided to adopt it into their event. He has also already received more interest and entries.

“This event is pretty neat to watch because, for example, last year there were 11 guys and three straight rounds in four events,” Wznick said.

“It came down to the final round, and the guys in the lead kept getting no-times. It just completely changed the outcome. We had guys come in and place in the top four that may have had no times from first round,

48

TRI-STATE LIVESTOCK NEWS

but kept pecking away at them.”

Wznick said an event similar to this used to be hosted in Broadus, Montana, and a much larger one is still hosted in Guthrie, Oklahoma.

The challenge pays out to the fastest time in each round and at least four spots in the average, Wznick said. Competitors’ average times are determined by their cumulative times in all three rounds. A notime in any event is 60 seconds, and there is a 60-second time limit on all events in each round.

“We’re expecting to have $5,000 added. We’re also going to have a high school incentive; at least four, maybe five to six high school kids are entered. What I’ll do is have an incentive for highest placing high school kid. I just want to get more multi-event high school kids involved. It helps grow the sport across the state,” Wznick said.

Wznick said all participants will have a chance to win, even against seasoned competitors.

“It’s about just getting a time. Last year, we had one high-school kid, and we actually have quite a bit of

upper-level talent coming, like Beau Franzen who has been to the Timed Event Challenge in Guthrie, as well as NFR,” Wznick said. “Well, this one high-school kid kept getting times.

He got second amongst a pretty tough field. Anything can happen.”

Polly Kovash Brokerage

Wznick has hopes to make this an annual event that continually grows.

“A big reason to get it a part of the NILE is the better venue and bigger attraction,” he said. “We want to turn it into an annual event. Last year was the first year we did it in Sidney, Montana, at fairgrounds and we want to keep growing it. The people we have working on it feel it has a lot of potential to turn into big event.”

The stock is provided by Copper Spring Ranch in Bozeman, Montana.

“They have some of the nicest timedevent cattle in the state,” Wznick said.

He is hoping Battle on Yellowstone draws a crowd.

the

“If you like timed events, it’s good watching,” Wznick said. “It’s not as exciting as PBR Bull Riding, but you have to be multi-talented at four events. I enjoy it.”

ontana fine artist Tracy Linder hopes her work will sculpt a better conversation about pressures on the nation’s food supply and agricultural practices.

Linder, who grew up on a farm near Billings and now makes her home in the dryland country of Molt, is one of the artists who will exhibit at the NILE’s first art show. Some of the work exhibited will be for sale and a percentage of the sales will benefit NILE scholarships.

“All of my work emphasizes our connection to the land and the A publication of

TRI-STATE LIVESTOCK NEWS

sanctity of our food sources,” says Linder, a sculptor who works in bronze and lesserknown mediums.

Well-spoken with a solid resume and her MFA from Boulder, CO, Linder, 51, works out of a converted 100-year-old farm house on a homestead property and stays involved in ag by helping her neighbors with a cow herd and crops.

She’s a strong supporter of the NILE and what it brings to the area.

NILE Foundation president Butch Bratsky says the art show is a fresh idea that came about at the perfect time.

“We’ve had several people who have donated collections of art and we wanted to find a better way to turn that into a real art show,” Bratsky says. “We just needed the right venue for it.”

The NILE Art Show is hosted by the NILE Foundation with proceeds benefitting NILE youth programs. The NILE Foundation’s mission is to raise money for funding scholarships presented through the NILE each year. To date the NILE has given out over $700,000 in cash and live animal scholarships since inception of the program.

Bratsky says the show will be held with refreshments in a well-appointed lounge and that sales from the western themed pieces should give the NILE Foundation a nice boost. “Our primary goal is to increase the number of dollars that go into our scholarships,” he says.

The primary fundraiser for the NILE Foundation remains Stetson and Stilettos, held in May, a black tie gala that brings supporters of the NILE scholarships—including Linder—together.

The NILE

merit heifer PROGRAM

A

unique, “live animal� scholarship, the merit heifer program provides approximately 25 youth each year the opportunity to show and care for a donated heifer. The heifers are generously provided by ranches across the region.

Each program participant owns his or her calf jointly with NILE until the completion of the program, at which time NILE officials will sign off and the participant will take full ownership of the heifer and her offspring. During the program duration, participants are responsible for raising the heifer, arranging for her to be bred, completing the record keeping procedure 2016

Stock Show & Rodeo

and bringing the animal back one year later as a bred replacement heifer for exhibit at the NILE Stock Show in October. The program is completed after the heifer is determined bred, all record keeping has been completed and the heifer has been shown at the NILE. Over 275 4-H and FFA members from across the western United States have had the opportunity to participate in this program since its inception in 2002.

The growing success of the merit heifer program hinges on the generosity and support of the ranches that donate a heifer. Since the program started, a multitude of ranches representing registered, purebred, and commercial breeders have donated a heifer.

Thanks to an artificial disc, she’s back in the saddle.

Lorie never let anything slow her down, until years of debilitating back pain left her unable to spend time where she loved it most: in the saddle. That changed when she met the collaborative team of spine experts at St. Vincent Healthcare. Artificial disc replacement surgery put an end to the pain and soon she was moving in ways she never thought she would again. Now she’s ready to ride to wherever life takes her.

F

or the 12th year in a row the NILE is going to raffle off a real, live, horse! Just like the lottery it only takes one ticket to win.

Which means someone could win a horse for five dollars—the cost of one ticket. Of course, more tickets increase the odds of winning, people can purchase six tickets for twenty-five dollars. The 2016 Raffle Filly is donated by Borderview Ranch, LaVonne Westland and Allen Munger.

Both long-time supporters of NILE—entering horses in the sales, futurities, and ranching heritage challenges every year. The bay filly was born in the pasture outside of Brockway, Montana. Raised on the range she’s sure-footed and knows how to handle herself in open country. She’s bred to go any direction ranch work, to arena competitions—she’s suited for any of it. As a two-year-old she is still learning but in her summer school, Travis Young from 76

A publication of

Big Sky Performance Horses has her started just right for anyone that wins her. It almost sounds too good to be true: win a horse for $5, she’s well bred and broke to ride. But wait, it gets better! She also comes with a year’s worth of feed! Equis Feed from CHS Nutrition sponsors the raffle filly. No excuses not to buy a ticket! In fact, if you can’t take a horse because you live in a high rise apartment or for whatever reason, there’s a solution. On each raffle ticket there is two check boxes. One says keep filly, one says sell filly. The drawing is during the NILE Gold Buckle Select Performance Horse Sale Saturday, October 22. If the ticket is marked sell filly she’s sold right then and there during the sale and the winner of the ticket gets to keep the proceeds from selling her. It only takes one ticket to win one of the best raffles in the region!

Sale terms and conditions Sale Management acts as mediator only. Although NILE does a pre-sale screening with a veterinarian, NILE makes no guarantee, either written or verbal. All horses (with no stated guarantees) sell “as is” with any and all responsibilities and guarantees strictly between the buyer and the seller.

Each horse on which there are two or more bids will be sold to highest bidder.

Auctioneer settles disputes and his decision is final.

Announcements from the block take precedence over printed and other announcements. Every effort has been made to assure catalog correctness, but NILE assumes no liability for errors or omissions or for statements, verbal or written, regarding horse(s) sold. Catalog comments are provided by seller.

Payment terms of the sale are cashier’s check, certified check, traveler’s check, personal check, or credit card with picture ID, and/or any bank letter of guarantee, in U.S. funds only, payable within half hour after sale. A 3 percent fee will be assessed for all credit card purchases. There is a $30 charge per returned check. Any collection costs (and attorney’s fees) shall be paid by the buyer. Upon payment, cashier will issue a delivery order which must be in buyer’s possession to leave grounds. Buyer pays brand inspection fee. Certificate of Registration and transfer will be mailed to the buyer.

All horses will be sold in accordance with Montana auction laws.

Title passes to the purchaser at the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, at which time the purchaser assumes the responsibility for risk of injury and liability of horse.

Any injury or loss of said horse(s) or change in horse’s condition occurring after the fall of the hammer, but before making final settlement or taking final delivery as set forth herein, shall not be grounds for revision of the sale. The purchaser or his agent may take care, custody and/or control of the horse immediately at fall of the hammer, but such taking shall not constitute delivery of the horse. Delivery shall be made only after the purchaser presents himself to NILE cashier and pays purchase price in full. Purchasers who make final settlement shall be tendered delivery in the form of a “release” for the horse, which allows purchaser or his agent to obtain a brand inspection to remove horse from grounds.

All persons who attend the sale do so at their own risk. The sellers, NILE Sale Management, directors, staff, membership, sponsors, and volunteers, as well as MetraPark and Yellowstone County, assume no responsibility, legal or otherwise, for any and all liabilities for loss, damage, theft, death or injury to livestock, persons, or property.

She has a full sister in the yearling sale so you can see what she should grow into. Super super atheletic ability and should have that cutting instinct. Her mother would cut the dog when she was a weanling and I am expecting the same from her.

This filly carries great foundation blood on the bottom and a lot of speed and cutting on the top.

Both parents have super dispositions that they have passsed on and with his frame and pedigree he should be very versatile. After seeing him sail over ditches he might even want to be a jumper.

Gelding / AQHA #5471637

Nice gelding that has been used on the ranch and been around lots of cattle.

He stops good, goes where pointed and has been worked on the flag and live cattle in the cutting pen. Would make a great heel or calf horse. He is easy to be around and has been handled a lot. Not a bronc or a mean horse. Good using gelding coming into the prime of his life.

Very well bred and wants to please. For more information call Scott Hulme at (208) 220-7411.

Gelding / APHA #1062473

This good natured gelding could have a big future as a barrel horse, or heading horse. He is still growing and should mature at 15-2 or 15-3. His sire, Suchanimage, SI 103, is the sire of many money winning barrel horses. Chromeismyimage has had a lot of ranch riding, and has the foundation you need to work him on the barrels this fall and winter. No problems with this nice gelding. He’s been on our ranch all his life, is sound, and should make a good prospect for some lucky barrel racer.

He’s been used in rough country and can handle the terrain. He’s done some pasture roping, and it wouldn’t take much to start him roping in the arena. Anvil has been used quite a bit on yearling heifers so he knows how to get out and move, and will watch a cow and get down and turn when he needs to.

HIS CATTLE ARE STRESSED. HE’S NOT. Thanks to BRD control from ZACTRAN® (gamithromycin).

THE RIGHT ANSWER FOR YOUR OPERATION.

Stress putting your calves – and profits – at risk? Get 10-day BRD control with a single treatment of ZACTRAN.1 In field trials, clinically ill cattle given ZACTRAN showed a significant improvement within 24 hours.2 And most cattle treated with ZACTRAN stayed healthy for the full 10-day

Give subcutaneously at 2 mL/110 lbs.

study.1 That can mean fewer retreatments3 and healthier margins. Talk to your veterinarian about prescription ZACTRAN. It’s exZACTly right to control BRD risk with one treatment.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: For use in cattle only. Do not treat cattle within 35 days of slaughter. Because a discard time in milk has not been established, do not use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older, or in calves to be processed for veal. The effects of ZACTRAN on bovine reproductive performance, pregnancy and lactation have not been determined.

Caution: Federal (USA) law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.

READ ENTIRE BROCHURE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.

INDICATIONS ZACTRAN is indicated for the treatment of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) associated with Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, Histophilus somni and Mycoplasma bovis in beef and non-lactating dairy cattle. ZACTRAN is also indicated for the control of respiratory disease in beef and non-lactating dairy cattle at high risk of developing BRD associated with Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida.

RESIDUE WARNINGS: Do not treat cattle within 35 days of slaughter. Because a discard time in milk has not been established, do not use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older. A withdrawal period has not been established for this product in pre-ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal.

PRECAUTIONS The effects of ZACTRAN on bovine reproductive performance, pregnancy, and lactation have not been determined. Subcutaneous injection of ZACTRAN may cause a transient local tissue reaction in some cattle that may result in trim loss of edible tissues at slaughter.

ADVERSE REACTIONS Transient animal discomfort and mild to moderate injection site swelling may be seen in cattle treated with ZACTRAN. EFFECTIVENESS The effectiveness of ZACTRAN for the treatment of BRD associated with Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida and Histophilus somni was demonstrated in a field study conducted at four geographic locations in the United States. A total of 497 cattle exhibiting clinical signs of BRD were enrolled in the study. Cattle were administered ZACTRAN (6 mg/ kg BW) or an equivalent volume of sterile saline as a subcutaneous injection once on Day 0.

Cattle were observed daily for clinical signs of BRD and were evaluated for clinical success on Day 10. The percentage of successes in cattle treated with ZACTRAN (58%) was statistically significantly higher (p<0.05) than the percentage of successes in the cattle treated with saline (19%).

The effectiveness of ZACTRAN for the treatment of BRD associated with M. bovis was

RUMIOTD1301-A (04/14)

demonstrated independently at two U.S. study sites. A total of 502 cattle exhibiting clinical signs of BRD were enrolled in the studies. Cattle were administered ZACTRAN (6 mg/kg BW) or an equivalent volume of sterile saline as a subcutaneous injection once on Day 0. At each site, the percentage of successes in cattle treated with ZACTRAN on Day 10 was statistically significantly higher than the percentage of successes in the cattle treated with saline (74.4% vs. 24% [p <0.001], and 67.4% vs. 46.2% [p = 0.002]). In addition, in the group of calves treated with gamithromycin that were confirmed positive for M. bovis (pre-treatment nasopharyngeal swabs), there were more calves at each site (45 of 57 calves, and 5 of 6 calves) classified as successes than as failures.

The effectiveness of ZACTRAN for the control of respiratory disease in cattle at high risk of developing BRD associated with Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida was demonstrated in two independent studies conducted in the United States. A total of 467 crossbred beef cattle at high risk of developing BRD were enrolled in the study. ZACTRAN (6 mg/kg BW) or an equivalent volume of sterile saline was administered as a single subcutaneous injection within one day after arrival. Cattle were observed daily for clinical signs of BRD and were evaluated for clinical success on Day 10 post-treatment. In each of the two studies, the percentage of successes in the cattle treated with ZACTRAN (86% and 78%) was statistically significantly higher (p = 0.0019 and p = 0.0016) than the percentage of successes in the cattle treated with saline (36% and 58%).
