Michael& kAREN searle EDITORS
!We are so excited to introduce a new magazine for youth exhibitors! It’s free! It’s electronic! It will soon become your number one resource for all things show ring! Inside you’ll find upcoming project animal sales, results from fairs and jackpot shows, junior livestock association updates, dates and locations for future quality assurance classes, entry deadlines for fairs and events, photos and much MUCH more! People have asked us how this came about. It’s simple. We wanted to connect youth exhibitors with breeders selling project animals. That one idea turned into this publication. Realizing there was a need for a source of information for exhibitors, The SaleRing was born. Although produced by the people at the Maricopa County Fair, the magazine will be filled with information for exhibitors across the Southwest including California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico & Utah. We welcome input from all exhibitors and participants in county fairs and livestock shows (parents, club leaders, fair staff, everyone!).
We hope to add a classified section in the future - a place to sell things you don’t need any more and a place to find things you do. If you have ideas of what you would like to see in the magazine, let us know! Send us your photos of you and your project animals, other fun show photos or article ideas. Even better, write the article and send it in to our staff. You won’t want to miss any issues of the ultimate online resource for youth livestock exhibitors in the Southwest! To make sure you get all the future editions of The SaleRing, be sure to officially sign up. All you need to do is click on the link below, fill in your email address and you’re good to go! The SaleRing will be published bi-monthly (every other month) - so be sure your email address is in our system. We hope you enjoy The SaleRing as much as we have enjoyed putting it together for you. Remember; send us an email with your suggestions, photos and articles. You may see yourself in the next edition! Sign up now! www.esalering.com www.esalering.com

Receiving SHOW PIGS !Getting young show pigs over the ! ! stress caused during the buying/ ! ! receiving process can be a challenge. There is not one universal protocol or method that works for every pig, or every farm. This article will attempt to address some of the common problems involved in the show pig buying/receiving process and methods to address potential problems. SOURCE OF PROBLEMS Young show pigs are obtained in different ways. Some pigs are purchased from breeders right off the farm and never co-mingled with other pigs. However, some customers purchase several pigs from several different pig sales or breeders, and place them all in the same pen upon arriving home. These scenarios pose very different problems and possible solutions.
OCTOBER 2014
Other pigs that encounter immune system activation may have been raised at home and placed on medicated pig starters using carbadox, CSP, ASP, CTC and Denagard®, or other medications that controlled pathogens. Then, when these pigs are placed on a show pig feed containing a different antibiotic, it is possible for the pigs to show symptoms of d i se a se , i.e., c o ughi ng, s c o u r i n g , a nd/o r anorexia (off feed). In reality, it has nothing to do with the nutritional content of the feed, but everything to do with the medication. BASIC RECEIVING SUGGESTIONS Again, not all pigs are going to encounter and then express the results of stress and disease. So the following suggestions are guidelines only, and not hard and fast methods that work every time.
9
should be vaccinated for a minimum of mycoplasmal pneumonia, erysipelas, and atrophic rhinitis. Another disease causing problems at an alarming rate is Circo virus. These immunizations usually require an initial vaccination with a second “booster” injection approximately two weeks later. At the time of purchase, the buyer should ask the breeder if the pigs have been vaccinated, how many times, and against what diseases. If the breeder has not vaccinated the pigs, then the purchaser should do so. The purchaser should also medicate the pigs during this process, because it could take a few weeks for full protection from vaccination to be effective. This medication should be delivered in the form of drinking water and medicated feed for pigs that are consuming feed and water normally. The use of electrolytes during this time is also advisable. 2 WATER MEDICATION: Actually, this is not as easy as it may seem. There are different methods to water medicate from proportioners to barrel waterers. If the owner has sufficient facilities and equipment to proportion the water-soluble medication, that is the preferred method. However, a plastic 55-gallon barrel with a nipple attached is also a viable method. Medications of choice will be determined by the pathogen encountered. We suggest that the owner or feeder consult with his or her veterinarian on the course of treatment, and the medication administered. Water medication is the preferred method of medication delivery, as a sick pig may not consume enough feed to attain therapeutic levels of medication, but the same pig is more likely to drink a sufficient amount of water. In some cases, pigs will be sick enough that they will not eat or drink and will need to be treated with injectable medication as recommended by a veterinarian. 3 MEDICATED FEED: There are many choices of medication in feed. The medication used again will depend upon the pathogens that are encountered. A g a i n , v e t e r i n a r y c o ns ul t a t i o n i s s u g g e s t e d. However, feeds that contain tylosin, carbadox, lincomycin, or double medicated such as CTC & tiamulin (Denagard®), or a triple combination such OCTOBER 2014
as CTC, penicillin, and sulfathiazole, or sulfamethazine are effective in some common situations. A feed containing one of these regimens of antibiotics should be fed for the initial 14 days. Tylosin phosphate (Tylan®) is common in show pig feeds. However tylosin, while effective against Illeitis, is not absorbed from the small intestine and is not effective against respiratory diseases. It is suggested where feeders have a history of battling respiratory pathogens or intestinal diseases that are not sensitive to feed grade tylosin, that a feed medication be administered that is effective against the particular disease in question. 4 ISOLATION: One effective method of reducing exposure and spread of disease through pigs is isolation of incoming pigs. If a customer has the facilities, he might consider keeping incoming pigs separated from the rest of the pigs for 14 to 21 days after arrival. Usually, in commercial practice a longer period is required, but from a practical standpoint, 14 to 21 days will incubate most pathogens and allow symptoms to appear. If symptoms appear, the pigs should be isolated for an additional 30 days until the disease has been treated and the pigs have recovered. This should reduce the number of pigs affected and the need for additional pigs to be treated in most cases. The isolation facilities should ideally be located downwind from the current pen where “old” or current pigs are being housed. This will limit the spread of disease from the new pigs to the current pen through aerosol transmission. The facilities should also be located at least 100 yards from the current pen. Furthermore, boots, shoes and clothes should be changed when going between the isolation and current pens. The feeder should work with the current pens first before beginning work in the isolation pens. The feeder should make every effort to limit the transmission of disease from the isolation pen to the current pen. After the isolation period is over, the pigs can be comingled. The feeder should keep a vigilant eye on the pigs for the next 14 to 21 days. The differences in immune status of pig sources will be gradually
Receiving SHOW PIGS homogenized as the pigs become exposed to the diseases that each source carries. During this time, water and feed should be medicated as described above. The intention is to limit the sick days, and possible loss of pigs due to disease and stress. The exhibitor will encounter fewer problems during the feeding period by starting with healthy pigs.

School: Buckeye Union High School - Buckeye, Arizona How long have you been showing pigs? 10 Years Clubs/Activities/FFA/4-H:
HOSA, NHS, Blue and Gold Club, The Nest Spirit Club, Green Team, Buckeye FFA, Ace In The Hole Show Team, Volleyball, IB Program
What is your favorite thing about showing pigs?
The bond I have with my pigs. After a competitive drive I love taking my pig out to the washrack and just hangin’ out for a little bit, win or lose its nice to just relax for a sec and know that you did the best you could! No one can replace that feeling of accomplishment when all of the work at home comes into play.
Who has been your biggest mentor?
Kaitlin Hill. I always wanted to show like her!
If you could show at any show in the country where would it be and why? OYE (Oklahoma Youth Expo) it’s the biggest show in the country. I’d love to see if I could hang with the big dogs!!
What is your favorite breed and why?
At first when I was younger it was Durocs because I swore by them to be the best showmanship hogs after winning novice showmanship. As I got older and had more encounters with floppy eared hogs, the more I leaned toward the up eared breeds specifically crossbreds. I’ve personally had great success with them and they’ve had some spunky personalities. To this day, I still remember all of those rascals!
Do you like driving market hogs or showmanship better? I prefer showmanship because I can walk up into that ring with the confidence of knowing how capable I am of driving my hog. At that moment, it becomes a team sport.
What is your favorite moment so far in showing pigs? My favorite moment was winning Reserve Grand Champion market hog and showman. To understand why, you would have had to been in my backyard with me everyday I walked that gilt. It was so rewarding to see her transform from a Kenyan track star to a Bob Marley persona. Don’t judge me, but I could not wait to get home from school to see her!
What is your biggest goal you want to achieve in showing pigs? 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? After HS I plant to attend a University to pursue a degree in athletic training, (keyword PLAN) and possibly go on a mission.
If you could change one thing about showing pigs/livestock what would it be?
DON’T take guardless clippers to the body, just don’t do it! Clipping is an acquired skill of much training and precision. Also, DON’T give up on your animal, they have feelings too. I’ve had my fair share of whacko’s and if the effort is put in they settle down and it is mind blowing!!
“I would like to thank John,Crystal, and Lacy Hunt for helping me out as a 4-H member with lambs and livestock judging. Jacque Accomazo for selling me the eventual Grand Champion barrow at Parker SAILA that earned me my first buckle and got me hooked. My mom for always getting those entries in and Shannon for the hotels, trailers, supplies, taxi service, pig loading skills, networking, and love for the game! Vicki for always being a constant supporter. My sibs and my friends ( Kacey, Clayton, Chanse, Cannon, Kevin, Josh, Autumn, Carter, Chandler, and Payson) that akways kept the competition HOT! All the judges and people along the way that have made this lifestyle possible!”

School: Atascadero High School - Atascadero, California How long have you been showing pigs?
I have been showing since I was nine years old.
Clubs/Activities/FFA/4-H:
National Honors Society, Cheer, Basketball, Creston 4-H, Atascadero FFA
What is your favorite thing about showing pigs?
The opportunities I have had throughout the livestock industry is my favorite part about my raising pigs. Getting the opportunity to travel across the state and country, the opportunity to meet so many amazing people and the opportunities to make memories that will last a lifetime have become my favorite thing about the junior livestock industry.
Who has been your biggest mentor? Ever since I bought my first pig from James and Kara Backman, I have always looked up to them and considered them mentors. But it wasn't until the past few years that I have had the opportunity to become extremely close with them and call them a second family. Both of them are so extremely knowledgable but they are also extremely selfless. I am blessed for the time, help, and effort they both have put into me and my family and it makes me want to do the same in the future for others.
If you could show at any show in the country where would it be and why?
If I got the chance to go to OYE that would definitely be one I would love to show at, only because I'm not able to show their, since I live in California, but also because the quality is outstanding.
Do you like driving market hogs or showmanship better? Driving market hogs gives me such a rush, a feeling of nervousness and excitement all in one. Making it to the final drive, and hoping and wishing you will get the handshake is a feeling that will never let me down.
What is your favorite moment so far in showing pigs? This past summer I was able to attend the World Pork Expo in Iowa and the trip was incredible. It was a huge eye opener for me as to what the pork industry means to the world but also how big and amazing junior livestock shows are. Coming from California and attending a show in Iowa is a long haul and not many make it but at the end of the week I was extremely proud to represent where I come from.
What is your biggest goal you want to achieve in showing pigs? While in the ring my biggest goal that I would like to accomplish before I am done showing would be to win the California State Fair market hog show. My long term goal in the industry would be to impact younger generations in agriculture just as people have done for me.
What do you want to do after your graduate high school/college? In the fall I have plans to attend Oklahoma State University and major in Ag Communications.
What advice would you offer someone just starting to show?
Hard work comes before anything and success will come to those who work for it. I advise people to ask as many questions as possible to learn, as well as try and be open to the many amazing opportunities the ag industry presents our youth.
“Although I appreciate everything the Backman's have done for me there are many other people who deserve recognition. To my mom, for the continued support and the fact she is always there for the reality check, and to my brother, the one always right by my side through all of our livestock endeavors - I wouldn't be able to do it without you two. But I also can't and won't ever be able to thank my ag teacher, Mr. Dadson, enough. He has helped and pushed me all throughout high school and I appreciate everything he has done.”

School: Pershing County High School - Lovelock, Nevada How long have you been showing pigs? 7 Years Clubs/Activities/FFA/4-H:
Varsity Volleyball and Basketball, National Honor Society, Yearbook and President of the Pershing County 4-H Chapter
What is your favorite thing about showing pigs?
I love working with a new pig each year and learning discovering the unique personality that each pig has! The challenge that comes with training a show animal never ceases to bring out my competitive nature and I wouldn’t change it for the world!
Who has been your biggest mentor?
Earl Malay has taught me a lot about show pigs! Everything from how to properly feed a pig, showmanship strategies, and even how to deliver a litter of piglets!
If you could show at any show in the country where would it be and why?
The World Pork Expo and Junior Event. It would be an amazing experience to show with the best of the best!
What is your favorite breed and why?
I have enjoyed a large amount of success showing Yorkshire-Hampshire crossbreds. And, I will say those two particular breeds are my favorite as well. I am always amazed by the structure and market quality a Hampshire brings to the table but a Yorkshire sow’s maternal instincts and breeding qualities are also admirable.
Do you like driving market hogs or showmanship better? Showmanship has always been my favorite part of shows. Showmanship drives give me the opportunity to display all of the hard work I have put in with my swine and allows the audience to see how beautiful it can be when a swine and showman are truly in sync and working together.
What is your favorite moment so far in showing pigs? I am lucky to say I have been successful when it comes to 4-H shows. I have raised two Grand Champion Market Swine, two Reserve Grand Champion Market Swine, and three Grand Champion Showmanship Swine. However, my favorite memory is winning Grand Champion Showman at our state show.
What is your biggest goal you want to achieve in showing pigs? Every year my goal stays the same: raise and train the best market and showmanship animal that I can. For me, raising and showing swine is all about generating the best product I can and taking pride in what I do.
What do you want to do after your graduate high school/college? After high school I plan to attend a 4 year university and major in veterinary science and pursue my dream of becoming a vet and opening my own clinic. I hope I can settle down in a rural area and help the 4-H and FFA programs as I have been given help throughout my years.
What advice would you offer someone just starting to show?
Take pride in your project and don’t get frustrated! Pigs can be extremely stubborn but if you are persistent and consistent, eventually they will start to show how you would hope!
“A big thank you to Earl and Bailie Malay! They have both taught me so much and I know I wouldn’t have experienced any of the success I have without them! I would also like to thank the older showmen in my local club who set the bar for me when I was a younger showman, and made me strive to train and show a pig like them.”

How many pigs do you show a year? It depends on if we go out of state to show as well as in state. Utah doesn't have very many open shows, so if we state in state, about 10.
Who is your favorite musician? Sam Hunt
Favorite Food? Prime Rib
Do you like driving market hogs or showmanship better? SHOWMANSHIP!!! Market is one man's opinion, but showmanship is how good I can do and how prepared I make myself!
What is your favorite moment so far in showing pigs? This year when I was Grand Champion and my little sister went Reserve Grand Champion at the biggest show in Utah.
What is your biggest goal you want to achieve in showing pigs? To never get beat in Showmanship!
What do you want to do after your graduate high school/college? I want to go on a LDS mission, go to college, college rodeo and then I want to pro rodeo and make it to the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas in the team roping and calf roping!
If you could change one thing about showing pigs/livestock what would it be? I would open more shows up in Utah so there's more opportunity.
If you could change one thing about showing pigs/livestock what would it be?
As much work as you put into your project is as much success as you'll receive. Work hard and great will be your reward!
“I would like to thank my parents and family and my Aunt Karen Wilson for helping me achieve my dreams and be successful. They're always at every show and every rodeo and help me get down the road.”

RUSSELL PEDREtt
2014 ARIZONA STATE FAIR MARKET & BREEDING HOG JUDGE
SelectinG A CHAMPION !!
Russell Pedrett is evaluating the Market Hogs and Breeding Gilts at the 2014 Arizona State Fair.
How did you get involved in the show pig industry? My parents signed me up for 4-H when I was nine years old. My mom grew up on a dairy, and my dad grew up around race horses and shorthorn cattle. They figured that a swine project would be a good place for me to start. I never quit! How are you currently involved in the show pig industry? Currently I am the farm manager at Ottenwalter Show Pigs in Colusa, CA. We have approximately 200 sow and sell show pigs year-round. We sell about 1500 show pigs per year across the United States, and we also exhibit at several of the NSR events. I also serve as a board member for the California Pork Producers and I judge a few shows. OCTOBER 2014
Can you describe your ideal barrow? I have always maintained a strong focus on soundness and a correct skeletal build. In today's show pig world, there's no shortage of muscle and power. Of course, those things are important and will always be. But I will always focus on selecting those individuals that are sound, good structured, and have enough muscle and power. What do you look for in an ideal breeding gilt? Again, structural integrity is very important to me. A good show gilt should look just like what she is intended to be -- a female that can function in today's industry. She must be sound, square built, and functional. After that, the stouter and prettier she is, the better she will do. But function always comes first. Where do you see the show pig industry in five years? That's a challenging question, but I'm sure it will be very different. I think the industry has changed a lot in the past five years. I think the big shows such
as the World Pork Expo and the National Junior Summer Spectacular will only continue to grow. I think some small shows will disappear entirely. However, I believe purebreds will always have a place. What do you think is the biggest issue we need to fix in show pigs today? I have seen a lot of pigs the last couple of years that aren't built right out of their rear third. Pigs that are outside of their skeleton, straight in their hock, short striding, coarse jointed, the list goes on. Way too many pigs "blow" their hocks, which isn't good for anyone. I think as a whole we can make our show pigs longer striding, cleaner jointed, and squarer in their hock placement and it will help this issue. We also have way too many pigs that develop swollen lymph glands. I think we need to select against these individuals as we keep the next generation of breeding stock. What type of showman will win the showmanship drive under you? I'm not picky. I like a showman that can demonstrate their ability to keep driving their pig in front of me and maintain control the entire time they are in the ring. An aggressive showman will probably do better with me than a passive one.
Who in the industry has made the biggest impact on you in your career? That's a difficult question because there have been so many people that have influenced me and that have reached out and helped me. Some people that have been very influential to me over the years, and whom I look up to are Brian Anderson, Jim McCoy, and James Backman. All three guys are extremely honest and have gone out of their way to be helpful to me when they didn't need to. I think they set a great example to the youth in our industry, and I try to conduct myself like they do. What is one things most people probably don’t know about you? That I grew up in Nevada. Of all places a pig farmer could come from! Russell Pedrett is the herdsman at Ottenwalter Show Pigs in Colusa, California where he manages a sow herd of 200+ females. Ottenwalter Show Pigs sells over 1500 show pigs a year. Russell attended Modesto Junior College where he served as the Swine Herd Manager and judged on the Livestock Judging Team. Russell went on to the University of Nebraska where he was also on the Livestock Judging team.

Arizona Department of Agriculture
My name is Lisa Fleming, I work with the State Veterinarian as an administrative assistant with an emphasis on Swine Enteric Coronavirus Diseases and more specifically Porcine Epidemic Diarrheal Virus. I grew up on a farm and have worked as a licensed veterinary technician for approximately 20 years in three of the four corner states. I am excited to meet with many of you about the current happenings in the swine industry and provide educational training activities, tools and materials to better protect our state and your investments.
!
As of October 15, 2014, the spread of PEDV appears to be slowing across the country. Researchers are currently working on and testing a vaccine and continuing to research the cause or causes. One thing we know for sure is that it is contracted via ingestion and all biosecurity efforts should focus on preventing the spread of this disease. With that in mind, I would strongly suggest that you gain a better understanding of what is currently known about how this disease is spread by reading current USDA and AZDA articles. OCTOBER 2014
As you turn your hog inventory, be sure to clean your premises thoroughly. Ask the breeder prior to your next purchase if they have had any diarrheal outbreaks and what they’ve done to determine the cause. For example, ask if they test or have had a vet check done to rule out PEDV. Lastly, to avoid contamination from introductions keep your new pig(s) separate from your current herd for an observational period (at least 3-4 weeks) before introducing them. For further information about educational training activities, tools and materials, I can be contacted via email at LFleming@azda.gov Remember...

Swine Health Guide
Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) – What Is It? Background:
PEDV is caused by a virus (Coronavirus) that is related to transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) virus. PEDV only infects pigs (NOT humans or other livestock). This is a new virus to the U.S. and was first confirmed in the country on May 17, 2013.
Clinical signs: In previously naïve herds, PEDV is similar to TGE and includes: » Severe diarrhea in pigs of all ages » Vomiting » High mortality - almost 100% in preweaned pigs
Diagnosis: Requires sample submissions to a
diagnostic laboratory (contact your veterinarian).
Transmission: Oral contact with contaminated
feces. The most common sources of infected feces are pigs, trucks, boots, clothing or other fomites.
Incubation period: (time from exposure to clinical signs) Only 12-24 hours.
Shedding: (amount of time animals can infect others)
Up to 3 to 4 weeks.
Immunity/Protection:
Treatment: Supportive care through hydration. Provide clean, dry, draft free environment with access to high quality drinking water (electrolytes may be beneficial). Prevention: Limit cross contamination with any
suspected pigs’s feces. Clearly define and communicate a Line of Separation which marks the separation between your facility, transport vehicles or the outside / inside of your production site. Contact your veterinarian and enhance biosecurity procedures. Biosecurity of transportation vehicles is important; they should be clean, disinfected and dry. Several disinfectants have been demonstrated to effectively inactivate PEDV, such as formalin, sodium carbonate, lipid solvents, and strong iodophors in phosphoric acid. Replacement breeding stock should originate from a negative herd.
Challenges to Industry: Infection with PED can create tremendous financial losses to a pork producer. For more information on biosecurity and PED: pork.org or contact a veterinarian.
No cross-protection with between TGE and PEDV even though both are Coronaviruses. Maternal protection through colostrum from previously exposed sows can be quite effective. No protection is long lasting (herds can re-break). Vaccine studies are in progress.
Diseases like to hitch a ride, separate yourself from cross-contamination! The organisms that cause disease in pigs (bacteria, viruses and parasites) can survive in different types of materials. Organic matter (shavings, manure) or water, mud or snow can carry diseases on boots, clothing, tires, undercarriages, trailers, shovels, winter panels, sorting panels and people can infect healthy pigs. Other activities, such as walking into a contaminated barn or packing plant can increase risk for disease spread because boots and trailers can become contaminated with diseases the farms you serve are trying to keep out. Assume every site you touch is a risk. Do not be responsible for transferring this disease. ©2013 National Pork Board, Des Moines, IA USA.

Planning for the 67th Arizona National is moving ahead at a rapid pace with multiple new programs and activities currently being organized. These improvements will allow for strategic growth of the show, innovative opportunities and increased opportunities for youth activities and development. The Show Committee and staff have established a dedicated and unique “program of work” for 2014. Most recently, we added an all new Pedigree Barrow Show and Pedigree Gilt Show sanctioned by the National Swine Registry and Team Purebred. These national events will be recognized as “National Affiliate Shows.” A new “Grand Canyon Classic Gilt Sale” will be introduced as well. The Market Beef show will now offer a division for Market Heifers for the first time and all steers this year will be categorized by three divisions: cattle that are primarily Black and those that are Blue Roan; All Other Colors not primarily black; and a division for British purebreds. The Poultry Show will include a Market Turkey and Broiler (chicken) competition for youth and these champions will be sold in the Junior Auction. In addition, a unique one day Poultry sale will be held for those wanting to invest in superior poultry genetics offered by winning Open exhibitors. Another “first” presents Open Beef exhibitors the opportunity to compete for Supreme Champion Cow-Calf Honors in 2014 and Reserve Supreme Champion recognition will be awarded also. After a successful first run, the all new Master Showmanship competition will include both Senior (17 years and older) and Intermediate (14-16 years) age groups. Youth exhibitors will be pleased to know that a special “Outside the Show Ring” Family Event is scheduled for the evening of December 29th showcasing dance music, group activities and of course, food for all. This has been a popular program in the past and many have already expressed they are excited it will be returning. In addition to these events, we will be offering more clinics with hands-on activities and educational opportunities for those participating in “The Vacation Show” set for December 26-31, 2014. Of course, we will continue to provide the many programs that have been critical to the success of our event and as other developments arise, we will make you aware of those. One of those recent announcements is that the Arizona National Horse Show is scheduled for January 7-11, 2015, and exhibitors should make arrangements to participate in the 51st annual event at Scottsdale. Over the next several weeks, please check in regularly for updates, deadlines and changes through our social media posts and website announcements. As we continue “Growing the Future,” you are encouraged to communicate with my office at any time to offer suggestions, voice concerns or ask any questions that will assist in improving our organization and programs. We also encourage each of you to become a volunteer at the Arizona National. There is room for everyone and many options exist for you to provide expertise and assistance in making a different for our future. As always, it is my pleasure to extend thanks to all our volunteers, staff and leadership for their hard work and dedication. Sincerely,

Porcine Stress Gene: What the Show Pig Industry Needs to Know Dr. Jodi Sterle, Texas A&M University/Texas Cooperative Extension Handling, animal health products, nutrition and genetics all affect the quality of the meat we produce. Packing plants now “rest” the incoming animals for at least two hours prior to harvest. Animal health products are labeled with “withdrawal times,” or the number of days an animal must wait before harvest for the product to safely clear the system. However, a genetic mutation, the stress gene, is still causing meat quality and welfare problems in the show pig industry. A number of traits are associated with this gene, including extreme leanness, increased muscling, excitability, and poor meat quality. The commercial swine industry has taken aggressive steps to eliminate this gene due to the negative effects on meat quality. Unfortunately, a Texas A&M University study found the stress gene in almost half of the class winners and breed champion barrows from the 2000, 2001, and 2002 San Antonio Livestock Exposition and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
What is a stress positive pig?
Pigs inheriting a copy of the mutant stress gene from both parents are referred to as stress positive (nn-genotype). They exhibit extreme nervousness and excitability (including “tail twitching”) and some animals die when exposed to a stressful situation. High value pork cuts from stress positive animals are often PSE, or pale, soft and exudative. The meat is light pink to grayish white in color, does not hold its shape well and appears watery in the package. Carcasses drip in the cooler and lose moisture, causing the meat to be very dry when cooked. An Iowa State University study revealed that more than 95% of nn-genotype animals produced PSE pork. Additionally, more than 15% of stress positive animals died while being moved from one location to another.
What is a stress carrier?
Pigs that inherit a single copy of the stress gene, one inherited from either the sire or the dam, but not both (Nngenotype); exhibit characteristics that are intermediate between normal and stress positive animals. While death loss is reduced, pork quality is significantly poorer in carrier animals than animals without the stress gene. The main reasons that this gene has been used are increased muscling and extreme leanness. This has resulted in a 2.7% to 4.0% increase in percent lean for stress positive animals compared to normal (NN-genotype) littermates. Stress positive animals tend to consume less feed per day while still converting that feed to lean muscle tissue very efficiently. A relatively simple genetic test is available for identification of stress genotype. Today’s swine industry has the improved genetics, nutrition, and management practices to accomplish acceptable muscling and leanness traits without the stress gene. Due to the disadvantages, including excitability and death, poor meat quality and the reduced ability to produce high quality bacon due to extreme leanness; the negative effects of the stress gene greatly outweigh the gains in leanness and muscling.

WHY SHOWING LIVESTOCK MATTERS By: Darcy Sexson
When fair season is about over. Tie outs have been pitched out, stalls have been torn down and the trailers are headed for home. Market animals have been sold, and breeding stock are ready to be turned out to pasture. Tack boxes are soon to be emptied, trailers will be unhitched and the ribbons & trophies will be displayed. And as the show sticks, halters and grooming products are put away for a few months before the next season, one thing remains.
Youth who matter.
Why Showing Livestock Matters
Why Showing Livestock Matters
I wish I could describe the feeling of entering a show ring. Or the competitiveness that opens up when you grab the halter of a show heifer. The intensity that takes over as the gate to the ring is opened, and you drive your hog in. What the heft of a lamb bracing against your leg feels like. Or the fluidness of a goat who walks with you in the ring as you lightly lead them by their chain.
It's a fair question. Showing livestock doesn't come with a cheap price tag. First you have to purchase the animal and feed it. Then there's the nights in a motel, the meals on the go, and the snacks & beverages that filled the coolers. The diesel bill and how it probably rivals the Sullivan's bill... The entry fees, the registration fees and the health check fees. But can you put a price on the life skills a child gains while showing livestock? The child who forges friendships that span species and states. The way parents can let little kids run around the barn, knowing a community of friends are watching over their well being? The trust that is developed between a youth & their animal.
Why Showing Livestock Matters
Why Showing Livestock Matters
Showing livestock is more than just a great feeling or a number in the budget. Showing livestock is a matter of teaching children life long skills. Multi-tasking. Competitiveness. Responsibility. Hard work. Honest ethics. Flexibility. A willing attitude.
We ask a lot of kids who show animals. Think about how much is asked on just show day alone: We ask them to show up to a ring on time, To multi-task getting an animal ready with preparing themselves and mentally staying in the game. To balance leading or driving an animal with paying attention to the judge and others in the ring. We ask them to win humbly, and lose with grace.
Why Showing Livestock Matters
Why Showing Livestock Matters All of these things that we ask of a kid who shows livestock; eventually we expect from adults. Teaching it now in the show ring prepares youth to practice those skills that will be required and desired when they're grown. That in itself can explain right there why showing livestock matters and why it's worth it. The ability of a child to balance all that is asked in & out of the show ring? You can't put a price on that. And that's why the cost of showing livestock in the long run is worth it....because it creates youth and future adults that matter. And we need people that matter.
Showing livestock..... it matters. It really, truly does. See you next season... Darcy Sexson and her husband Clint own Sexson Charolais in Eastern Oregon. She is graduate of Oregon State University and is the County Executive Director of the Umatilla Farm Service Agency.
