Prebiotics, Probiotcs & B12 all in one ... this super charge formula is the first of it’s kind. Sullivan’s
Show Road Appetite Express + Prebiotics, Probiotics & B12 all in one ... this super charged formula is the first of it’s kind. This remarkable formula will keep your animal on the right track through stressful transportation and showing. Appetite Express + helps bring an aggressive appetite and energy boost to the animal. Administer 10 to 15cc per day orally one to two days prior to travel to maximize the beneficial microbial flora within the animal. Continue to administer orally at the show to keep your animals gut in good health. This super charged formula of Prebiotics, Probiotics and B12 will restore the balance to your animal in any stressful situation.
• Prebiotics are non-digestible dietary fibers that deliver nutrition to microorganisms. • Probiotics contain live naturally occurring beneficial microorganisms that replenish the good bacteria colonies in the rumen of an animal. • B12 boosts energy levels, which helps fight fatigue and sluggishness. Vitamin A has multiple functions: it is important for growth, development and maintenance of the immune system.

NEW Products ™
Sullivan’s
The brush for thinner haired cattle.
Patent Pending
Introducing Sullivan’s SENSATION CURVE, this NEW twist to our popular SMART SENSATION delivers even more stimulation to the skin and adds body to the hair coat, making it a hair growth must have. With the SENSATION CURVE’S 302 precisely placed ball point teeth, no hair will be left clinging to the hide. Best for dull, lifeless hair that still needs volume due to lack of base coat. Not only does the SENSATION CURVE contain 134% more teeth than the SMART SENSATION, but the teeth are also narrower and more flexible to allow hair and skin to be stimulated with an even gentler massage. The SENSATION CURVE’s design also has a more rounded curvature to the brush, which encourages more fluid rhythm to the hair working process while the Sullivan’s NEW texturized grip enhances the users comfort. Like the SMART SENSATION, the SENSATION CURVE is healthy for hide and hair. By providing a gentle massage to the hide it stimulates blood flow that releases natural oils from the skin to coat the hair and promote healthy hair growth. This brush will be the perfect addition to your daily hair growing tools. Available June 15th.
delivering even more stimulation to the hide.

The Show Circuit is proud to introduce you to a very special young showman from Arkansas in recognition of June being National Scoliosis
Awareness Month. Thank you to her mother, Tracy, for contacting us and to Erin for sharing her story. If you are a teenager, please get screened – the sooner the better.

Erin Easterling was standing on a pedestal while a seamstress was pinning her ball gown for alterations prior to an upcoming Fair Queen pageant. “The dress had to be taken in, and after pinning, the waist line wasn’t even,” Easterling explained. “My seamstress thought the dress was assembled wrong, or that I was standing with my weight shifted to one hip, but after unzipping the dress it was apparent that it was my hips that were uneven, not the gown.” Easterling’s mother, Tracy, said that her daughter had recently gone through a growth spurt. “We had purchased new basketball shoes in September, and by December, we were up a whole size. We thought she might have one leg a little longer than the other due to this growth spurt, and decided to take her in to be seen by her physician. After a physical examination and x-ray, her physician stated he thought the problem was more severe – he saw the curvature of her spine, which he diagnosed as idiopathic scoliosis and referred us to a pediatric orthopedist.” Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine that affects 2 to 3 percent of the population, or an estimated 7 million people in the United States. Most are diagnosed with scoliosis between the ages of 10 and 15, but the condition also affects

infants and adults. It is a condition that affects people of all races, classes and both genders. Girls are eight times more likely than boys to have a curve that will progress to a magnitude that requires treatment Scoliosis is common in children with a variety of congenital and neuromuscular diseases, but it is most prevalent in seemingly healthy children, with no known cause (idiopathic). Scoliosis, when left untreated, can get worse and may cause chronic back pain, impact heart and lung function and take a toll on self-esteem. Screening for the condition is non-invasive and takes about 30 seconds. Erin’s school does routine scoliosis screenings in 6th and 8th grades, but she didn’t show curvature until the end of her 8th grade year. “We have pictures of Erin swimming at the beach in the summer before 8th grade and her spine is completely straight” said Tracy. Most curvatures are minor and require only that patients are monitored by their doctors. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, one-quarter of children with spinal curves require medical attention. In 2004, 1.26 million patients diagnosed with scoliosis utilized health care resources. The estimated total hospital charges, excluding professional fees and non-covered charges, for all patients released from the hospital with an idiopathic scoliosis diagnosis was $2.7 billion The Easterlings consulted a pediatric orthopedic surgeon at Children’s Hospital in Little Rock and got a second opinion at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas. Erin’s curve was significant enough that she rated on the low end of the surgical spectrum but it was already apparent cosmetically – and both surgeons said the only way to correct and keep the curve from increasing was to undergo surgery. Erin decided to have her surgery performed by Dr. Karl Rathjen at the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital in June of 2014. This facility treats pediatric orthopedic patients solely - nothing else, is funded by the Scottish Rite Temple (part of the Masonic Lodge). They are ranked No. 1 nationally for pediatric orthopedics and are a world leader in the treatment of scoliosis. “I really liked my surgeon’s personality,” Erin explained, “He was confident from the moment I met him – and I wanted to go to the best place possible for my treatment. He made me feel at ease.” During her surgery, Rathjen cut a 12” incision down her spine, and implanted two titanium rods on either side and affixed them with screws. He then torqued her spine into alignment and five vertebrae were cemented into place using cadaver bone. Her spinal cord was assessed during the entire surgery and stretched as much as he could safely correct her curve. “Before surgery, my curve was 46 degrees. It was a single curve in the lower middle of my back. After the surgery, my curve was almost 20 degrees, and I was taller.” Erin’s biggest concerns were her ability to continue to grow and getting back to her active lifestyle. She would be a freshman in high school in August, and would be a member of both the basketball and varsity golf teams. “I had also already purchased calves to show at our fair, and I’ve never missed showing at our county fair since I started with pigs at age 5,” she says. “I had a lot of people concerned about me leading a 1,000-plus pound steer into the ring just a couple months after surgery on my spine – but I was determined to do the work needed to be back in the ring and ready to show. I’ve shown cattle since I was 7, and didn’t plan to miss a year in the ring. Dr. Rathjen also told me to not worry about growing, because my growth plates were still wide open and most of your height comes from your legs.” Erin spent four days in Scottish Rite recovering from surgery. “She told the doctors she would be walking the day after her surgery. The night of surgery she walked five steps to a chair and she never stopped from that moment on” said Tracy “Her doctor said since she was an athlete, and had grit – he expected her to recover quickly.” By Day Two, she was walking laps around the floor and no matter how high they set the bar, she would go above it – getting discouraged when her pain wasn’t subsiding regardless of how hard she worked. “She thought if she was to walk five laps to loosen her back – she would do 10. If they wanted her to walk three times a day, she would walk six.”
94 May 2015 • theshowcircuit.com
said Tracy, “Dr. Rathjen finally had to have a sit down with her. He said ‘Erin, you can’t bake a cake at 700 degrees for 15 minutes – healing takes time; you can’t rush it no matter how much you want it to be quicker.’” Erin was released from the hospital on Sunday and made the six and a half hour drive home to Northwest Arkansas. Three short weeks after her surgery, Erin was back in Dallas where she was cleared to return to golf and basketball practice for her high school team. Her surgeon also cleared her for swimming and participating in any activity she desired, including showing cattle. “My Dad (Stacy) and my little brother, Kross (age 12), really helped with my calves all summer when I was unable to work them. They fed, washed, and led them for me while I was recovering. I had some really calm calves, and I knew if they could get the calves ready I could have myself ready when the time came.” “Showmanship is Erin’s favorite part of cattle showing. Even when she was little she was (and still is) all business in the ring, and although it’s always nice to come away with placement for your calf – showmanship is the only thing she knows she has control over.” said Tracy “Erin has won overall showmanship at our county fair the four years (three being back to back) and was determined to not let this be a setback to something she takes great pride in.” Erin’s willpower paid off as she won overall showman again in 2014. “My little brother won overall junior showman, and I won senior,” she says. “At our fair, the senior and junior showmanship winners go head to head against each other. This was my first time winning as a senior – and then when my brother won junior it was the two of us in the ring competing for overall showman. We are both very competitive, so the tension was pretty extreme. He wants to beat me, but I’m not going to give him any slack – my goal is to win overall as many times as I can before graduating in 2018. Then, I’ll be happy for him to follow in my footsteps.” Fewer than half of the states in our nation currently legislate screening for scoliosis at schools, so it is imperative that parents, teachers, coaches, healthcare professionals and children are aware of the early signs of scoliosis. Additionally, advances in science and technology mean both the diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis are improving every year. With early detection and proper treatment, people diagnosed with scoliosis can lead healthy, active lives. “I just want people to know that a diagnosis of scoliosis doesn’t mean you can’t live an active life – even if you have to have surgery. I honestly have no problems or pain in my back, at all. I’m still on my basketball team and golf team. I also played on the high school softball team this year,” she says. “I am still showing cattle, snow skiing – even been surfing since the surgery. I’m proud of my scar and want to share my experience so other people learn about scoliosis. The important thing is to spread awareness and get screened – as it shows up in more teenage girls than any other demographic, and early detection is important for getting the best treatment.”

Putting Financial News – Good or Bad – In Context By Wealth Management Solutions, Inc. Courtesy of Matthew E. O’Donnell Vice President Morgan Stanley Focus on What Matters A landmark study by the New York Federal Reserve on the effect of economic news on the markets may add additional perspective. “How Economic News Moves Markets”1 suggests that only a handful of economic announcements – nonfarm payroll numbers, GDP advance release and a private sector manufacturing – affect prices in significant and systematic fashion, while most other releases tend to generate erratic or insignificant price responses.
I
nvestors’ reaction to economic news can be baffling. For example, positive economic announcements, such as an uptick in gross domestic product (GDP), stronger-than-expected earnings by bellwether companies or a drop in unemployment are sometimes followed by a market sell-off. If the market’s negative response to seemingly good news has left you wondering if you are missing something, you are not alone. Are Markets Rational? The evolving field of behavioral finance may provide some explanation for seemingly irrational investor responses to good or bad economic news. The discipline seeks to combine behavioral and cognitive psychological theory with conventional economics and finance to understand why people make irrational financial decisions.
98 May 2015 • theshowcircuit.com
Practitioners have identified a set of behavioral biases that may explain apparently unreasonable market movements. These include, but are not limited to: • Fear of Regret and Loss Aversion – The threat of potential disappointment or short-term loss are powerful forces that often inspire second-guessing of portfolio strategies, frequently causing investors to sell winning positions too soon or to hold losing positions too long. • Overconfidence – Self-confidence might make people happier, but it doesn’t make them better investors. Overconfident investors tend to overestimate their knowledge, underestimate risks and exaggerate their ability to control events. • Anchoring – This behavior involves basing decisions – anchoring them – on events or estimates even though they may not reflect relevant long-term trends or statistical probabilities.
Generally, it’s advisable to avoid trading on news alone, as it is impossible to consistently gauge investor reaction. Also, markets tend to trade on future expectations over the long-term, so keep that in mind as you confront the aftermath of news-related trading volatility.

PHOTO DAY
is PAY DAY Want to know how to get the best calf photos for your fall sale? We asked several leading photographers for their best tips. By Martha Hollida Garrett
T
here’s a new payday in the cattle marketing business! Online cattle sales and video marketing continue to grow in popularity for both the buyer and seller and this shift in marketing has moved a program’s most important day of the year from the sale ring to the picture pen. Gone are the days of getting to a sale the day before, looking through the cattle and arriving the morning of the sale to look through the cattle again. Now a photo in print or in an email blast peaks a potential buyer’s interest. That interest then takes the buyer to a website with photos and videos of the sale lots. The quality of those visuals is most likely the determining factor of whether that potential buyer logs on and purchases on sale day. In addition, many sales now show the cattle to the audience in the stands and online by video. There is far more involved than point and shoot – if you want buyers clicking to bid on sale day We have selected five cattle photographers, whose work appears regularly in Show Circuit, to discuss the how’s and why’s of good images. Our sources for this article include Heidi Anderson, Kyla Copeland, Brad Hook, Linde Sutherly and Pearl Walthall.
have done when the photographer arrives. We also asked them to use the scenario of taking pictures for a breeder who had never had photos taken at their operation. 1. How far in advance do you recommend a breeder book their photography session(s) with you? All agreed the sooner the better and pointed out that fall is extremely busy. Also many of them plan their travel systematically, so you want to be on their calendar as they hit the road. “I suggest 5 to 6 months in advance for the fall and a month in advance the rest of the year,” said Sutherly. “I usually like a month’s notice and you have to be flexible with weather conditions and considerate of the customer’s plans for hiring help,” described Walthall. Copeland encouraged customers to also think about how their photo would be used, as she explained photos for a print catalog need to be taken a minimum of 45 to 60 days in front of the actual sale date, while online sales can even be taken 10 to 14 days in advance.
In general, these photographers agreed on many points we asked them to discuss, so not all answers are printed. They each did stress it’s a team effort between photographer, owner/breeder, the crew in the back and the crew in the photo pen to achieve that eye-catching photo.
2. How many head can a breeder expect to get photographed in a day? The general consensus was that you could plan/budget for 20 to 25 head per day. This particular topic has many factors involved ranging from pen, lighting, wind, help, time of year and how the cattle work on a particular day.
We asked them to discuss a variety of factors involved in capturing photos/videos that generate interest and the things that a breeder should
“Everyone has different needs and every photo shoot is different. Some customers have one head, while some have 100 head. Time per head is the

>>sC FeAtURe you may keep starting over to get the animal into the right pose. This can either get the animal excited or especially if it’s a hot day cause them to be too tired to stand correctly and will not pull its head up,” said Walthall. 7. What type of fencing for pen? High tensile fencing was offered as the preferred choice of half of our panel.
J. bRADleY HOOK makes his home in Iowa. He began taking his own cattle photos in 1990 and in 2010, he officially began his photography business and started shooting cattle for others.
“For me woven wire panels are the least distracting, while hot wire is an option, but only if the cattle are used to it. Panels and corral gates are acceptable as long as they are secure enough to hold the animal,” said Sutherly. “I like white or electric fencing for the background on loose cattle. I absolutely do not like red or brown fencing. When you look at the photo you want the viewer’s eyes to go right to the animal, not the background, “ said Walthall. Hook said he preferred wire cattle panels. 8. How should the pen be set up in relation to the sun? The sun always needs to be at the photographer’s back, so that should be considered in making the pen work for both morning and afternoon, according to our panel.
“If you have your pen set up longer one way than the Photo by Brad Hook other, then make sure the long way runs east to west, so that it will work the majority of “The bigger the better, the day as the sun shifts, explained I prefer 100 x 100 foot pen if at all Copeland. possible. I want the cattle to get out and naturally move around the pen “I tell my customers to put their with ease,” said Copeland. back to the sun in the potential pen Walthall described her perfect pen area and wave their arms. What they see in terms of shadows and as 40 x 60 foot for stills and 40 x 100 detail is what I’m going to see as the foot for videoing. photographer, as well as the potential customer,” described Hook. “You want the pen to be conducive to the animal walking into the 9. What do you consider ideal right stance. If it’s too big, you may backgrounds for shooting? As little spend your time chasing instead of as possible or nothing in the backphotographing and if it’s too small,

ground was hands down the answer from the experienced photographers. “Clean, clean. No clutter in the background,” stressed Hook, while Sutherly agreed that you want to avoid anything that distracts from looking at the animal. Anderson agreed and went on to say that she tries to avoid horizon and fencing lines a long the topline of the cattle, as it changes how the animal looks to the viewer of the finished photograph. 10. Do you like holding pens next to the photography pen or a lead animal? “I do like having a holding pen at the end of the direction you want the animal being photographed to walk. I like to have a tame animal in that pen or at least have it tied in the direction I need the animal to walk,” said Walthall. “I prefer a lead animal as opposed to a holding pen,” remarked Hook. Yes and no was Copeland’s answer. She went on to explain that yes, because it gives cattle a chance to calm down and become composed after coming out of the fitting chute in the barn. “If something is worked up coming out of the barn, the odds are that it won’t get calmed down. I do like to have a very calm animal tied in the photo pen,” said Copeland. 11. Do you like a slope to the shooting area? A slight slope that can be hit at several points was the more popular answer from our experts. “I do like a slight slope, but nothing too steep. I want the cattle to look comfortable as they move,” said Sutherly. “I like a gentle slope. Ideally you want the front end of an animal running up hill not downhill. The lay of the land can determine the physical stance of the animal. You want their feet and legs to be firmly and
evenly planted. Rough ground and downward slopes can change the structural appearance of an animal,” explained Walthall. Copeland said she actually preferred a level pen, adding “all cattle act differently and having a level pen allows you to utilize more of it and be able to shoot either direction, depending on how cattle want their lead leg to be positioned. Hook prefers a slope as close to the middle of the pen as possible, so that it can slope both directions. He emphasized that cattle should never be photographed going downhill. 12. How far in advance should cattle be clipped prior to being photographed? General rule of thumb was prior to photo day. “I don’t care when you clip, but when I get there it is time to shoot,” said Hook. Copeland tells her customers to clip them advance, so that cattle can be coming to the picture pen at a steady pace, especially if a lot of cattle need to be photographed. “Cattle I call ‘ranchy’ should be clipped a few days of ahead. This gives them a cooling down period before they hit the pen full bore, hunting down the photographer. Some are faster than others and I’m not so fast,” said Walthall. 13. What do you recommend breeders have done with each animal before you arrive or before the animal enters the shooting area? “I like for the cattle to be clipped, clean, blowed out and with a light coat of oil. You have to be careful with the oil in the summer, as it can look give a reflection. What the animal looks like in the pen will be what the photo looks like, “ stressed Hook. Sutherly summarizes that the more detail that is put into the cattle before they enter the photo pen, the better they will look. It was reiterated by the photographers that the cattle should be handled calmly in the chutes, prior to entering the picture pen. 14. How many helpers for the photo pen should a breeder have on photography day? Our experts said two to three for the pen and enough in the back to keep the cattle coming and looking ready for their photo to be taken. ”I like three people in the pen with me—one to push, one to haze and one to get ears, “ said Hook adding that he likes the hazer to be at a 45-degree angle on the point of the shoulder, as this decreases the likelihood of the calf circling back.
KYlA COPelAND started Focus Marketing Group, along with Kent Jaecke in November 2010. Today their company includes nine team members that specialize in cattle photography, videography and advertising. She resides in New Mexico.
Sutherly also likes three as she likes one to get cattle back and forth to the photo pen, one patient, yet outgoing person to get ears and one patient, quiet person to move the cattle around in the pens. Copeland likes to have two and herself in the pen. “Picture pen help is a huge part of how pictures are going to look. I like to have one person help move the cattle around and one to get ears. Too many people can make

>>sC FeAtURe the cattle feel crowded. The help needs to know and recognize how cattle work how they move in the pen and the right time to catch their attention,” she said. 15. How do you like the cattle to be positioned for the actual photo? “I like the animal to be in a natural, relaxed state. I’m not set on perfect, picture pose as you can wear them out trying to get that perfect pose. I like to get a nice, clean pose that shows as much soundness as possible, explained Hook. “I love taking angle photos and being different on pictures, but these pictures just don’t work on some cattle,” Copeland said. “A lot of it is being in the right place at the right time too. A standard profile picture is definitely the norm. Leg set depends on the animal and at what point they are comfortable and looking their best. “A good picture is all about how those cattle shift their weight. They may be set up fundamentally correct, but if their weight isn’t shifted right, it’s not going to work. The help needs to know how much room to give those cattle and read those cattle to get the feel on how much room to give them. Typically, the further back the help is from the calf, the better, explains Copeland. “I like for the animal to stop in a profile position. You always want to be able to see all four legs. The person pushing the animal needs to be a safe distance behind the animal, but be in viewing range of the animal. You don’t want the animal pulling its head around to view the person pushing the animal. This will cause the animal to throw its front legs and shoulders out towards the photographer, if it tries to keep viewing the person behind it. This is where the ear man comes in – he must try to get the animal to focus on him and not the person behind the animal and especially the photographer,” said Walthall. 16. What about noise? Any other distractions to avoid? “Only noise I want is whatever is being used to get ears—all other noise should be avoided,” said Anderson. Walthall stressed that noisy highways, feed trucks going by the photo pen, nearby construction, as well as grandchildren visiting can all be distractions and most likely keep the animal from cooperating. 17. What type of props/sounds do you like in order to get the ears forward and heads up? We received a variety of answers for this all-important part of the photograph. “The sky’s the limit. To me people are the best noisemakers, but I’ve used a pompom on the end of a fishing pole, animal calls, beach balls, hats, dog toys to name a few. But if someone doesn’t know how to use props properly, then it will never work. Again remember each animal is different and what works on one

may not work on the next one,” said Copeland Hook and Sutherly both said they used animal calls. Anderson likes to start with a low bellow by the ear person and then will resort to noisemakers if needed. Walthall relies on her husband to get ears with a fern he shakes in front of them and also uses animal noisemakers. “On some of the tamer, deadheaded cattle, I like for someone to crawl on the ground towards the animal. I suggest this be a younger person, who can get up and run fast if needed,” she concludes.
18. How much time should a breeder allow for you to get the images to them as a general rule? Again this depends on time of the year, but most suggested a timeframe close to a week, especially in the fall. The customer needs to let the photographer know when the photos are needed and this date should be considered when scheduling the shoot. “In the fall, you shoot all day, drive and edit photos at night, get up and edit and shoot again, so it can take some time,” explains Hook.
HIGH Res/lOW Res These are terms in the advertising world referring to the size and pixilation of photos. Low resolution photos can be used on websites and in social medias, but should never be used in print. Photos on websites or social media cannot be pulled to use in print as they will be grainy and often out of focus. High res images can be used in all advertising avenues and our panel of photographers all said they provided customers with only high res versions.
Copeland adds that editing time is almost equal to the time required to take the photo and that needs to be considered. 19. What other points do you want to make or feel a customer needs to know?” “Patience and preparation – the more everyone has, the smoother things typically lINDe sUtHeRlY go,” said Sutherly. “Be patient,” said Anderson. “Photographs get customers to look at the video, so your photos better look like the same cattle in the videos,” stressed Hook. “There are a lot of talented hard working photographers in the business. Choose one that fits your needs and personality,” said Walthall.

“We have a common goal of getting great pictures and videos to market your cattle, but it’s really a team effort on picture day,” said Copeland.

20. What is the cost? That is something you need to ask your prospective photographer(s). Items that factor into the price included how many head of cattle, how many days(s) of shooting, travel distance, travel accommodations, and if your travel costs can be shared. Most photographers have a standard day rate as the base. Editor’s Note: Thank you to our experts, who shared their knowledge, skills and expertise. We hope this article will assist you when talking with a professional photographer and increase the value of your payday!

ARKANSAS JUNIOR CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION Autism: a mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language and abstract concepts.
My name is James Daniel Brown and I am blessed to be the Area 1 Vice President of the Arkansas Junior Cattleman’s Association. April was National Autism Awareness Month. I started this article with the definition of Autism. I can’t really tell you what all that means, but I can tell what Autism isn’t! I am a 17-year-old junior at the Mountain Home High School in northeast Arkansas. I learned earlier this year that when I started kindergarten I was diagnosed with a disability called Asperser’s, which is a high functioning form of Autism.
JAMES DANIEL BROWN AJCA Area 1 Vice President
My parents didn’t tell me about the disability or why I had to take medication until one morning I refused to take my meds until they told me the reason why. That is the first time in my life that I learned about Autism. I have to be honest I was mad and disappointed at them for not telling me earlier. Then my mom said that the reason they didn’t tell me is because God doesn’t make mistakes and I didn’t need an excuse or a crutch to succeed in life. My parents love and support me and I am fortunate to have two people that love me that much. Then I learned that most of the things that make me different from most other kids are the things that people love the most about me. My dad is very firm it telling me that I don’t have a disability, that I have the ability to see the world differently than most people. I will never forget the conversation about Autism. I have learned a lot about the disability, but what is not taught or discussed is what Autism isn’t. Autism doesn’t make me any different than the other kids my age. I laugh, love, hurt and cry just like all other people. Yes, things come a little slower to me but I still figure it out. I struggle in school, but I excel with my cattle. In junior high, I caught the attention of the Agri teachers. They introduced me to what I hope to do with the rest of my life. Working with and loving cattle!

I might not be the starting quarterback or quiz bowl champion, but I am a champion in and out of the show ring. I hold a state office with the Arkansas Jr. Cattlemen’s Association. I raise and show cattle with the BEST FAMILIES in the world. When show season starts, we are gone every weekend to spend time with the greatest people I know. The AJCA family has never treated me differently than any other kid on the show circuit. I feel completely at home when I am around other cattlemen. I don’t know where I would be without the help of my parents, AJCA, FFA and Blake and Tracy Morrison. I am one of the luckiest kids in the world. I have friends all across the state of Arkansas and nation that love me for just being me. My cattle love me and I do my best to take care of them. I know they are my future and I am responsible for them. I continue to show, breed and sell the best cattle I possibly can. I thank the Arkansas Cattlemen’s Association for all their support of the Arkansas Junior Cattlemen’s Association. For me Autism isn’t a bad thing it is just a thing. Thank you mom and dad for always loving and being honest with me. I love my life and if what I have is a disability then I wish everyone could have Autism so they could experience what an incredible life that I do!
Kylee Sigmon,
former AJCA treasurer and longtime board member, will attend the University of Arkansas to pursue a degree in agribusiness. Kylee says, “The responsibility I gained while exhibiting and caring for my cattle helped me to mature and grow as an individual. I gained valuable leadership skills such as managing a budget, directing discussions and leading a meeting. My involvement in AJCA has helped shape my career goal, which is to educate others towards making a positive perception of agriculture. Kylee is the daughter of Mike and Lisa Sigmon.
Ryan Grubbs, Will Clark,
current AJCA Treasurer and twoterm Area Vice President, will also begin his studies at the University of Arkansas majoring in agricultural business and agricultural education.

MISSOURI CLUB CALF ASSOCIATION www.missouriclubcalfassoc.com
Our show season is quickly wrapping up and we’ll be working on our Awards Ceremony soon. Keep an eye on the website for standings and updates for the date & time of the 2015 MCCA Awards Ceremony at the Missouri State Fair. The fair’s theme this year is, “Show-Offs Welcome!” It will be a great time to celebrate the accomplishments of our members. I’d like to point out to our older members that the success of this organization depends on you. When you are the older showmen, you have to remember there are showmen who are just starting out and are looking for mentors. They watch everything you do and listen to everything you say. They start mimicking your actions, your mannerisms, your attitudes. I know it’s a lot to expect, but those young showmen need high quality, ethical older showmen to show them, teach them and mentor them. Someone was once there for you. Someone helped you learn right from wrong. Someone taught you the little tricks. Someone gave you encouragement just when you felt like giving up. And now, it’s time for you to be someone to another younger showmen. Also, don’t forget to check the website if you are looking for scholarship opportunities. We awarded 2 - $1,000 scholarships to deserving members last year and look forward to more members applying this year. Good luck at the remaining shows and we’ll see you at the State Fair!

PROFESSORTOPRODUCER
WHAT MAKES A GOOD CREEP FEED? By: Dr. Paul Walker, Professor Emeritus DI Walker Consulting
I
n answering this question, words like palatable, economical, easy to handle, and available may (should) come to mind. I don’t know which feeds are palatable to cattle – I never had a calf whisper in my ear: “I like this feed,” but I can determine which diets and individual feedstuffs are acceptable to cattle by watching how vigorously cattle eat what I feed them. A good creep feed must be highly acceptable to young calves to encourage intake.
A host of factors affect acceptability including taste, lack of dustiness/appropriate moisture content, particle size, freedom from contaminates and chewiness (not too soft/not too hard). Let’s skip taste. I can only determine if the feedstuff is acceptable. For example, taste CDS or liquid molasses. They both are bitter, but to cattle both must taste good as cattle will rapidly consume either foodstuff. A dusty, too dry diet will decrease consumption and higher moisture diets (15% to 19% moisture) will increase acceptability. Appropriate particle size of mixed diets (¼ – ½ inch) will improve acceptability. Avoid making rations with a grinder – mixer that uses a hammer-mill. This equipment produces a ration that is inconsistent in particle size at best and generally too dusty with a particle size that is too fine, allowing ration feedstuffs to
122 May 2015 • theshowcircuit.com
be processed through a double- or triple- stack roller mill or steam flaked. If processing barley with a single-stack roller mill, roll the grain twice. A creep feed should be as economical as possible, as creep feed efficiency (pound of feed: pound of gain) is relatively high (around 11:1). A cheap creep feed is not synonymous with an inexpensive feed. Depending on the required nutrients provided by the creep diet, a higher priced diet may or may not be more economical. For example, non-protein nitrogen (NPN) (urea) should never be used as a protein source in creep diets. Calves cannot consume enough carbohydrate to provide the NPN the necessary carbon to synthesize amino acids (protein). Therefore, NPN provided in urea does not help fulfill the calf ’s protein requirement. While lowpriced, urea is a cheap creep feed ingredient and it may be the most expensive due to reduced calf performance. A creep diet should contain only natural (intact) protein sources. A commercial creep feed that provides added vitamins, minerals and/ or other nutrients, that costs more per pound may be worth the added expense.
separate, resulting in inconsistent feed intakes. If grains cannot be prepared with a roller mill, I recommend feeding whole grain (whole shelled corn, and whole oats, but not whole grain barley). Calves chew their feed more thoroughly than older cattle, so whole grain works well. However, whole grain barley has a harder seed coat and calves will not be able to break the barley kernel apart so it will be largely indigestible even following rumination. Barley should
In my opinion, the single best feedstuff for a creep feed is oat grain, whether it is fed whole, rolled or stream flaked. Oats have a high protein (13% crude protein- CP) to energy (76% TDN) ratio. Oats are highly acceptable to calves and high in fiber. The only problem with oats is that they can be expensive. Local oats in my area are priced from $4 to $6: bushel. Nevertheless, I use oats in the creep feed for the calves at my home, because I like them and cost is not the issue. If minimizing cost is an issue, there are other feedstuffs that can replace oats, but not very many. Shelled corn should seldom be used as a creep feed ingredient because it is too low in CP (9%) to
energy ratio (90% TDN). However, shelled corn is a low cost feedstuff; at $4: bu, it is only 7.14¢: pound. A balanced creep feed should contain 14% to 16% CP and a highly digestible fiber. My favorite creep feed is a 50: 50 mixture by volume of whole oat grain and beet pulp combined with Kent Baby Beef 34 with Bovatec (240g: ton equivalent) protein supplement. This is a great diet for show calves prior to weaning because it is similar to the post weaning show barn diet. My second favorite creep feed diet is a 50: 50 mixture by volume of soybean hull pellets and corn gluten feed pellets. This creep feed provides 15% to 16% CP and adequate energy in the form of highly digestible fiber. This is an inexpensive diet that provides insurance against overeating disorders. There are a host of other creep feed mixtures available that utilize home grown grains and forages and commercial protein supplements, as well as complete commercial creep feed diets. Creep feeding is both an art and a science. From an art perspective, creep feed can be offered as early as 30 days post birth, but calves will not eat much creep feed until 90 days of age. Creep feed must be kept fresh whether fed in a creep feeder or in a feed bunk. “Old” feed should be removed from the feeder. The feeder should never run empty; once fed, creep feed should always be available. When creep feed is selffed, at least 6 inches of bunk space per calf is required. If creep feed is hand fed and all calves are to eat at one time, a minimum of 18 inches of bunk space per calf are required. As always, keep the glass half-full. It is a great time to be in the cattle business.
