PROMOting YOUR MARKEt ANimal PROJECt PARt 1 of 2

When you complete your market animal project you will be an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur is someone that makes money on his or her own. The life skills you will learn in this project may help you to become a small business owner in the future. In order to be a successful entrepreneur, you must do the following: decide upon a product; acquire necessary supplies; produce the product; market the product, and sell it for a profit so that you can continue the cycle. If you want to be successful and get the best price for your animal, you must market yourself and your animal. Find a buyer before the fair who is interested in your animal and you. Simply showing up at the fair auction and expecting buyers to want your animal is not realistic. You have spent a lot of time and energy raising and caring for your animal - now you need to spend a lot of time finding the right people to buy your animal! BUYERS LETTER A buyer’s letter is written by a 4-H, FFA or Independent member and then sent out to potential buyers before the Fair. DECEMBER 2014

The letter tells the potential buyer a little about the youth and the animal. It is also an invitation to the fair and livestock auction. This guide will help youth write a successful buyer’s letter. Most fairs requires each youth to write at least three letters to potential buyers. It is your responsibility to help get new and returning buyers to come to the livestock sales. Without new and returning buyers, a time may come when there are more animals than buyers. If this happens, animals will be sold at market price. The prices may drop to a point where exhibitors are losing money by raising their animals. So it is your job to write a letter that will encourage potential buyers to come to the fair auction so there will be more buyers than animals for sale. It is also your job to sell yourself in the letter so the buyer wants to buy your animal. HOW DO I FIND A BUYER? Before you begin writing your letters, it is important to have a plan. Who should I target to receive my buyers’ letters? How many should I send out? The fair requires that I send out three, but is that enough?

Suggestions: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Advertisers listed in the County Fair Book Family Doctor Insurance Agent Banker Grocery Stores (Meat Managers) Restaurants Hair Stylists Mechanics Contractors Engineers Veterinarian Feed Store Equipment Dealers Car Sales Dealers Relatives Neighbors Friends Parents’ employers Your employer (if you are old enough to have a job)

Your goal is to get as many buyers as possible to the fair auction in order to have more buyers than sellers.

This will increase the price you will receive for your animal. You are going to have to work harder this year than in past years to get the buyers to the fair. Therefore, you should set a goal of sending out more than the required 3 letters. You should send out at least 10 - 25 letters. NOTE: This is part 1 of a 2 part series. We will cover the following areas in part 2 in our Feb/ March issue:

BEFORE YOU WRITE YOUR LETTER READ THE RESEARCH! THE BUYER’S LETTER DO’S & DONT’S OF BUYERS LETTERS FOLLOW UP THE THANK YOU SUMMARY Be sure to check out our Feb/March issue for the rest of the article and please feel free to print and share this with your local 4-H Club or FFA Chapter!

TECHNICAL NUTRITIONIST PURINA

Feeding SHOW Lambs: bASic SHOW LAMB NUtRitiON !It’s important to remember that ! ! maintaining rumen health and ! ! function is vitally important in lambs. Feeding grain-based diets without providing sufficient roughage in the lamb’s diet can lead to unintended consequences. Maintaining rumen health in lambs It is of upmost importance that we maintain rumen health and function. Feeding grainb a s e d d i e t s w i t h o u t p r o v i d i n g s u ffi c i e n t roughage in the lamb’s diet can lead to unintended consequences. Simplified, the rumen is where it’s at when we talk show lamb nutrition. If rumen function is impaired, the lamb is usually on a roller coaster ride of feed intake. Growth and subsequent physical performance suffers, and the lamb cannot express its full genetic potential. Feeding show lambs quality forage At minimum, each lamb should receive a double DECEMBER 2014

handful, or about ¼ lbs. Four ounces of a goodq u a l i t y a l f a l f a h a y p e r d a y. A l t h o u g h progressive judges are selecting lambs with more base width, rib shape, and deeper fore rib, we still want lambs that are relatively tubular in t h e i r d e s i g n. T h a t m e a n s a l a m b w i t h a n excessive middle usually will not be placed high in class. Poor-quality forage passes slowly through the digestive tract of the lamb. So, feeding a low- or moderate-quality roughage source tends to put some middle or a “belly” on lambs. The higher quality alfalfa passes through much faster, maintaining the “tubular” appearance of the lamb, yet meeting the lamb’s fiber requirement. Fiber length important for lambs It is also important to feed a quality alfalfa with a minimum 1½ to 2 inches of fiber length. Feeding alfalfa pellets or ground hay does not have the effective neutral detergent fiber (NDF) needed for rumen health.

You may also notice wool chewing or wool pulling in lambs. The leading cause of this activity in sheep is inadequate fiber length, resulting in insufficient effective NDF. It is important here to note that feeding a roughage source with 1 ½ to 2 inches of fiber length helps address wool biting, chewing or pulling. However, once a lamb begins to pull wool, it usually will not stop. It quickly becomes a habit, and you will need to keep the lambs covered or separated to stop this activity. Water intake in lambs Water is also extremely important. Water is directly related to feed intake. The water source needs to be clean, fresh, abundant, and not too hot or cold at all times to ensure proper feed intake and growth performance. Keeping the lamb hydrated at all times will also help address the occurrence of urinary c a l c u l i. A g o o d s h o w l a m b f e e d w i l l c o n t a i n ammonium chloride for the prevention of this condition. However, if the lamb is not drinking sufficient water, or you do not hydrate the lamb properly at or after a show, the lamb is at elevated risk of developing urinary calculi. Show lamb feeds Show lamb feeds come in various forms and protein content. You might think about feeding a show lamb feed with about 18 percent crude protein, such as HONOR® Show Chow® Showlamb Grower DX, at least for the initial 4 5 to 6 0 days of the feeding period. Show lamb feeds are usually high in crude protein because we are limit-feeding very muscular lambs that have much higher daily nutrient requirements. However, energy is still very important. Energy provides the fuel for growth and every metabolic process. A low-energy feed will usually result in poor growth performance and an unsatisfactory outcome to your show lamb project. Some feeders like to transition to a lower-crudep r o t e i n f e e d (H o n o r S h o w C h o w S h o w l a m b Grower15DX)at some point in the feeding period. This works well as long as the lower-protein feed also has an increase in energy content. Feeding HONOR® Show Chow® Showlamb Grower DX, and DECEMBER 2014

FEEDING SHOW LAMBS HIGH OCTANE® Power Fuel™ supplement to increase the energy density of the diet to increase cover or body condition is also appropriate. There is no one precise feeding regimen for every lamb. Each one is a little different, and the feeding strategy will depend upon what is needed to accomplish in the lamb. Please note that the HONOR®Show Chow® Showlamb Grower 1 5% DX is only available in certain regions of the U.S. High-protein supplements for lambs High-protein supplements such as HIGH OCTANE® Champion Drive™ are sometimes useful in either trimming body condition, or increasing the muscling of the lamb. The amount to be fed will depend upon the product, and again what is needed to be accomplished in the lamb. HIGH OCTANE® Fitter 35 is used to help support muscle, leanness, and help harden muscle when fed at 4 to 1 2 ounces per day along with regular feed. The daily feed amount will again depend upon the lamb, its size, age, and the nutrient content of the feed. However, feeding HONOR® Show Chow® Showlamb Grower DX at 3 to 4 percent of the lamb’s body weight is sufficient. Medicated feed for lambs It is always a good idea to feed a medicated feed to lambs. Coccidiosis is usually the lamb’s biggest immune challenge. All HONOR® Show Chow® Showlamb feeds are medicated with Deccox® to prevent and control coccidiosis. What quality show lamb feeds can, and cannot, accomplish It is important to note what a good show lamb feed w i l l a n d w i l l n o t d o. A q u a l i t y s h o w l a m b f e e d should: • Maintain a consistent feed intake (as long as water and roughage are not an issue) • Result in adequate growth and development of the lamb

FEEDING SHOW LAMBS • Result in a good physical appearance of the lamb (skin, hair, and wool) • Result in proper conditioning of the lamb • Result in the lamb expressing its genetic potential • Contain ammonium chloride to address urinary calculi A good show lamb feed will not: • Create more bone • Make the lamb longer • Increase the lamb’s base width • Increase the length of the lamb’s neck • Increase the length of the lamb’s loin • Increase the length of the lamb’s hindsaddle • Strengthen a weak-topped lamb (broken behind the shoulders) In other words, you will need to select a quality lamb with the ge netic potential to respond to go o d nutrition; genetic potential that results in a fairly heavily muscled lamb. After all, we are feeding and showing market lambs. A market animal needs to exhibit muscle. A poorly muscled lamb will normally find its way to the bottom of most classes. If you select a lamb that has inferior muscling, the greatest feed money can buy is not going to result in producing adequate muscle.

DECEMBER 2014

Build a relationship with the breeder of your choice. They will be more than happy to assist you. You can be assured they want their lambs to perform their best for you. Feed more than one lamb It is a good idea to feed more than one lamb. Sheep are herding- or flocking-type creatures, and two lambs do much better than one by itself. Lambs eat and perform much better when a companion or pen mate is present. A consistent exercise program is essential to the success of your show lamb project and to obtain the maximum response between the interaction between nutrition and genetic potential. The extent and duration of the exercise will depend on what is required to accomplish in the lamb. However, exercising the lamb three to four times per week should be sufficient. Good luck with your show lamb project. If you need help, do not be afraid to ask. Breeders and more experienced exhibitors are an excellent source of information and knowledge.

School: East Mountain High School How long have you been showing?

I will be entering my eleventh year of showing. I showed for 2 years as a booster in 4-H when I was 7 and 8. My family has been involved with market lambs for as long as I can remember.

Clubs/Activities/FFA/4-H:

4-H, Track, Cross Country, Basketball, National Honor Society

What is your favorite thing about showing?

My favorite thing about showing would definitely be hauling to all the shows all over the country and having the opportunity to meet so many breeders and people.

Who has been your biggest mentor?

My biggest mentor would have to be my mom she has helped me become the showmen I am today. Not only in the sheep barn but in other activities that we do she supports us in everything that me and my brothers participate in. She has spent so many hours with me in the barn preparing for the shows. She has hauled to every single show and I guarantee she will not miss one!

If you could show at any show in the country where would it be and why?

This November I was able to show at the North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, Kentucky which has always been dream of mine. But if I were asked the question a year ago it would definitely be NAILE just because of the opportunity to show at the largest sheep show in the nation.

Do you like market or showmanship better? I think showmanship is a great opportunity to have. I use it as a practice to get the show ring jitters out and to fix little things to make my lamb look better for the market show. But I have to say I like showing in the market show because that's where all my hard work pays off.

What is your favorite moment so far in showing? I actually have two favorite moments one has been my Grand Champion at the New Mexico State Fair this past year I never thought something like that would happen to me and it made me realize how much fun showing really is and my second favorite moment was since the very first time I went to the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado I had always dreamed of showing on the green carpet in the coliseum and I accomplished that goal in 2013 with my reserve champion speckle.

What is your biggest goal you want to achieve showing? Biggest goal is to inspire others to work hard and help other showman improve or just plain help them! I’ll jump in a pile of soiled shavings if it’ll help someone drive their hog!

What do you want to do after your graduate high school/college? I want to study animal genetics.

If you could change one thing about showing livestock what would it be?

I wouldn't change really change anything about it it's a great opportunity that you can't replace. The friendships that you have are amazing because we all want to win but no matter what the outcome is we are happy for one another. I have learned to work hard and persevere.

“I would like to thank my mom and dad for hauling my to all the shows. A thank you to my grandparents to watching the shows even if that meant they had to haul all the way up there or even watching it on the Internet. Last but not least I would like to give a special thank you to Ty and Nicole Allen and Cooper Newcombe because without them I wouldn't be where I am at today.”

IN L R SA A

School: Grace Fellowship Academy How long have you been showing? 4 Years Clubs/Activities/FFA/4-H:

I have been dancing for 10 years and my favorite is Ballet, I am also in a worship band, piano and Buckeye Livestock 4-H with my lambs and goat and Estrella Mountain 4-H with my Rabbits and Rooster.

What is your favorite thing about showing?

My favorite thing about showing is spending time with my friends and family. I especially love traveling with my cousins & grandma.

Who has been your biggest mentor?

My biggest mentor is my mom because she goes out with me to help me and give me advice. Even though some nights I end up crying, she always helps me be the best I can be.

If you could show at any show in the country where would it be and why? National Western Livestock Show because it is a great show with lots of competition.

What is your favorite breed and why?

My favorite breed of sheep is a hamp because their competitive and have lots of shag and they are also cute.

What is your biggest goal in showing?

I would like to win showmanship at Arizona Nationals.

Do you like showing market or showmanship better? My passion is Showmanship! I like working to get my lambs to show better and making a lamb look good even if it is not the best lamb in the class. Showmanship is all about you!!

What is your favorite moment so far in showing? My favorite moment while showing was when I won with my market lamb this year. It was very surprising because my lamb Tobias had been sick with pneumonia in June. He only weighed 61lbs on June 23. We pushed him really hard and even though we knew he was a awesome lamb with an amazing rack, he still weighed only 127 lbs.

What do you want to do after your graduate high school/college? I want to be a microbiologist

What is your favorite show and why?

I like the Parker SAILA show because they usually have good judges, it is a relaxed small show and they have good prizes.

What advice would you offer someone just starting to show?

Be dedicated and work with your animals regularly. Have a trusted person to give you pointers and advice when you practice.

Favorite Musician? Taylor swift.

Favorite Food? Steak

“I would like to thank John Cox for helping me with feeding and helping me find lambs each year. And I also want to thank Mr. Kevin Bloomquist for providing me with great sheep including both of my 2013 & 2014 AZ state fair grand champion lambs. Dr. Chuck Toben for always helping me when my sheep are sick or injured. Also my grandma and PaPa for always supporting and traveling with my cousins and I.”

Homeschool

How long have you been showing?

I have been showing sheep for 7 years.

Clubs/Activities/FFA/4-H:

Carson Valley Shepherds 4-H, Douglas County 4-H Shooting Sports Club, Douglas County 4-H Teen Leadership, Douglas County Clover S.T.E.M.s Club Teen Leader, Homeschool Honor Society, First LEGO League Robotics Team, Double Bass Player in the Carson Valley Sinfonia, Carson Valley Pops Orchestra, and the Carson City Symphony, and an Actor in the Carson Valley Young Thespians, the Youth Theatre of Carson City, and the Lake Tahoe Young Shakespeare Troupe.

What is your favorite thing about showing?

My favorite thing about the showring is that it is a great place to learn. The showring is where you see whether or not a year’s worth of hard work and decisions will pay off. Did I pick the right lamb? Am I in a good weight group? Did I use the right buck? Good or bad, I always learn. I have learned I like ‘good’ better.

Who has been your biggest mentor?

The person who has been my biggest mentor over the years would have to be my 4-H leader, Nita Vick. For over 25 years, she has shared her wisdom and guidance with other kids like me, helping us to not only become excellent showman but knowledgeable and conscientious herdsmen as well.

If you could show at any show in the country where would it be and why? I would love to show at any of the big state fairs held in the Midwest. I probably couldn’t hang with the big dogs, but I would sure like to chase them around the ring a time or two.

What is your favorite breed/species and why?

Sheep are definitely my favorite species. Each one has a distinct personality, and it’s a challenge to figure out how to show each of them to their best. I don’t have a favorite breed but am partial to Hampshires.

Do you like market or showmanship better?

Many factors go into showing a market animal such as good genetics or the right style of lamb for the judge, to name a few. But with showmanship, whether you win or lose is entirely dependent on you and the hours you spend at home exercising, practicing, fitting, and feeding.

How many sheep do you show a year?

I show between 15 to 25 sheep per year in both market and breeding classes.

What is your biggest goal you want to achieve in showing?

My ultimate goal as a showman is to walk out of my final show when I am 18 years old, turn around and see a barn full of the next generation of kids hard at work on their own lambs, striving for their own Grand Champion moment.

What is your favorite moment so far in showing?

My favorite moment, without a doubt, is when the judge reached out and shook my hand, awarding my lamb Grand Champion. What made that moment so special was that I was showing the grandson of the first replacement ewe our family had ever kept.

Favorite Musician?

How can I pick just one? I really enjoy listening to and playing a wide variety of classical and modern composers, especially JS Bach, John Williams, Berlioz, Two Steps from Hell, Gershwin, and Steven Sondheim.

What is your favorite livestock show and why?

My sheep leader, Nita Vick, always says, “When it’s your show, it’s your show.” Well, my ‘show’ was the 2014 Nevada Junior Livestock Show in Reno, Nevada. Not only did I win Grand Champion with my homegrown market lamb, Butter, but I also won Champion Intermediate Sheep Showman and went on to win Master Intermediate Showman as well. In the breeding show, I exhibited the Grand and Reserve Rams, 1st place Yearling Ewe, and 1st place Young Flock, among others. What really made this show special wasn’t the awards but that all of the sheep I exhibited were homegrown.

What do you want to do after your graduate high school/college? In college, I plan on double majoring in either music or drama and business, though I haven’t entirely ruled out theoretical physics.

If you could change one thing about showing what would it be?

I would love to figure out a way for all of the lambs to be born in the daytime when it’s warm. I hate checking for newborn lambs at 3:00am.

What advice would you offer someone just starting to show?

Practice, Practice, Practice. The more time you spend feeding and walking or just hanging out with your lamb, the more it will trust you and be willing to work with you even when you both are at your most nervous.

“I would like to thank Nita Vick for all her guidance. I would like to thank my parents for driving me everywhere (and for giving great advice) and my older sister, Leah, for starting it all. Thank you to Clint Cummings for advice about feed. Finally, I owe a special thank you to Brett Reid who chose our family to ‘inherit’ his flock of show sheep when he retired. ”

the SHOW HALtER By:Jessica lEWiS

I hung up my youth show halter at my last Maricopa County Fair. Now, I’m off to college, not to end my own show career, but to help lead future exhibitors. My plan is to finish my associates in Agriculture Education at Connors State College, then finish my degree at Oklahoma State University. I plan to join the ranks of Ag teachers back in Arizona.

Since beginning my adventures in Oklahoma at Connors State, I have joined the Cattle Show Team and am looking forward to incredible new experiences at shows across the country. After nine years of showing as a youth at numerous county fairs, state and national level shows and the local SAILA circuit, I have gained enough knowledge to feel confident to compete as an adult in nationally renowned shows standing shoulder to shoulder in fierce competition with master showman from across the nation. So now you know a little about me. But you’re probably wondering how this applies to you. Let me tell you - it’s all about YOU!

DECEMBER 2014

You see, if you’re reading this article you’ve already been bitten by the show ring bug. I’ll bet you have probably fallen in love with the adrenalin rush of the show ring. It’s a place where dreams begin and futures meet the inevitable path. Showing in the ring isn’t the only way to make the fair experience last a life time. The fair experience is made up of the great friends, the endless laughter and memories that will last forever. It’s also about those moments of being a senior showman guiding the inexperienced. So be sure to enjoy your time as a youth exhibitor don’t rush or wish it away. Be a part of it all, join in, and don’t miss a thing. Trust me, you’ll be an adult soon enough. For now, take your time and enjoy the little things, the memories, and the moments that are casually awaiting you at every turn. There’s a reason they call it a ring. A ring has no start or beginning; no finish or end. When I’m done with my education, I’ll be teaching future exhibitors and helping them start towards the dream I have found in the show ring. -Jessica
