yes, yes we do. That being said, why can’t we have it all? Why can’t have cattle with power, foot size, correctness, MUSCLE, and phenotypically correct proportions, cattle that feed, that have nice udders, with longevity and productivity bred into their pedigree? Why can’t we have bulls that will produce offspring with that eye catching correctness and balance on the end of a lead rope, and still sire cattle that will hang a carcass, that grade, and make cows that produce nice calves year, after year, after year? Our answer is you can, we aren’t just show cattle. Griswold Cattle sees all ends of the industry, and simply put, we think you as consumer deserves more,

Combining the Blackbird and Missie cow families that produced three consecutive National Junior Angus Show Champion or Reserve Females, these two bulls stack the most elite show heifer genetics ever produced at PVF.

“Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep going. Tough situations build strong people in the end.” Roy T. Bennett
Start each day believing in your dreams. THE SHOW CIRCUIT
HAVE you HERD
Members Of An Essential Industry I searched (and searched) for the right way to start this article, and the thought that kept coming back to me was to say, “thank you.” In a time of uncertainty and social distancing, what I want to say to YOU, the readers of this magazine, is THANK YOU. Thank you for continuing to devote your time and abilities to an industry we always knew was essential, but is now in the spotlight of consumers as essential. Thank you for contributing superior genetics to our industry. Thank you for continuing to provide a safe, wholesome product for consumers during this global pandemic. As livestock producers, grain farmers and consumers analyze their budgets, one area to not take a short cut is through your insurance. Although the initial idea of minimizing coverage in hopes of reducing premiums can be tempting, it can be harmful (financially and emotionally) in the case of an accident. Will those funds be there in you have equipment break down during planting season? Will the funds be there if your bull becomes injured and you need to purchase a replacement? Will the producer who sold you the initial bull have any replacements available? Insurance is here to protect you and your livelihood.
As a millennial rancher myself, I understand how re-assessing our budget is crucial during this time. That being said, underwriting companies are analyzing their coverages in place to best serve their customers. I strongly suggest contacting your Agent today for more information, and to review your options. Rather than lowering or discontinuing your current coverage, insurance carriers are rolling out plans such as auto relief plans, payment flexibility and more. Although livestock shows have been postponed or cancelled, and the life as we knew it has been put on hold, we are still members of an essential industry. It is our duty to move forward. As members of the beef industry, we need to remember we are resilient, we are sustainable, and we are essential. So, thank you for not giving up when the markets are going in the wrong direction. Thank you for caring for your livestock during whatever Mother Nature throws your way. Thank you for being an advocate for our industry.

FACTS ABOUT GROUND BEEF Ground Beef must be from cattle
Ground beef has no added water
Ground Beef is skeletal muscle.
Ground beef has no added phosphates, binders or extenders
Any other animal would be considered misbranded and illegal.
Only muscles that move bones. No guts, skin or anything but muscle. Heart is allowed, but its really just another muscle.
Ground Beef is at least 70% lean Many different levels of lean are available, but no more than 30% fat is allowed.
Ground Beef is the most popular beef cut With so many great ways to cook and enjoy it, no wonder people buy ground beef more than any other beef cut.
Ground Beef is not leftovers or scraps Some cuts make great steaks and roasts, while others don't. Some cuts may be the wrong size or too tough to be good steaks and roasts, so butchers grind them to get maximum use out of every beef animal.
Beef itself contains water, but processors are not allowed to add water to ground beef.
It may not be labeled as ground beef if it contains any non-meat protein ingredients.
Not all ground beef is the same
Processors mix lean cuts with fattier cuts to produce different ground beef blends with different amounts of fat. Fattier blends make great burgers, but leaner may be better for casseroles.
Ground round, chuck, & sirloin are also ground beef, with more rules Ground round must be made from 50% round cuts and meet all other ground beef requirements, same for chuck, sirloin, etc..
Always cook ground beef to 160°F Use a meat thermometer to make sure that ground beef is cooked thoroughly.

For burgers, shape beef into 6 round patties, cook to an internal temperature of 160 degrees. Place cheese on top last minute. To assemble, spoon caramelized onions on bottom of each roll. Place burger on top of onions and top with bun. Serve with the cherr y cola BBQ sauce!

PROFESSOR to PRODUCER
The Big Three Since the early 2000’s I have often stated there are two developments that have facilitated feeding cattle within the corn belt (at least for the states east of Nebraska). One is the concept of monoslope cattle housing (MS) and the other is the utilization of distillers grains with solubles (DGS). I am now including in my statement a third strategy – the use of cover crops. Monoslope construction has revolutionized cattle feeding in the Midwest states, especially states like Illinois, Indiana and Ohio where high rainfall and mud can make finishing cattle and housing beef cows difficult. Monoslope construction is so unique in the way it alters windspeed within the building, creating warmer air on the taller side during winter months when wind is predominately from the north/northwest and cooler air on the shorter side as wind speed increases as it goes through the building in the summer when wind is mainly out of the south/ southwest. Confinement buildings in the Midwest area a God-send for decreasing mud, increasing cattle gains and improving feed efficiency. Producers have three flooring options within a monoslope: built up bedding pack, concrete floor and slatted floors. For finishing yearling cattle, I prefer a rubber topped, slatted floor/deep pit system . Yearlings weighing around 800+ pounds entering a monoslope with rubber topped slats gaining in excess of 3.0 pounds per day and finishing around 1,400 pounds can thrive for about 200 days without feet and leg problems. If a calf feeding system is preferred, I recommend using a bedded pack/slatted floor combination. Trying to finish 500- pound calves on a slatted floor system (even rubber topped slats) is just too many days on slatted floors (3.0 lb./ day gain = 300 days on feed) resulting in varying degrees of feet and leg problems

as cattle approach 1,400 pounds. Utilizing a monoslope combination system, two bedded pack pens can house incoming 500- pound calves for 120 days that can then be co-mingled into one slatted floor pen for 200 days, finishing around 1,400 pounds with minimal feet and leg problems. In my opinion, this is a great system for both improved cattle health, reduced labor and optimized human comfort. A monoslope building, also, works well as a cow-calf facility. Either a built-up bedding system or a concrete floor can be successful for housing beef cows during the last 30 days of gestation through a timed artificial insemination breeding period. During this 90 – 120 day period a confined monoslope facility provides excellent shelter, feeding and housing for both cows and calves. My preference is to utilize a concrete floor system with creep areas or housing pens for calves. I have designed several systems that work well. The only problem with a monoslope facility for beef cows is its high cost. It is difficult to justify the cost purely based on the cow-calf unit for 90 – 120 days of use. However, a monoslope facility can be justified if it is used for housing other cattle during the other 240 days of the year. As example, housing cows from December 1 through March 31, then finishing yearling steers from April 1 through November 1, with 30 days for building clean out is a doable system. The second development that has facilitated cattle feeding in the Midwest is the utilization of DGS. Distillers grains have been around for decades. Prior to the 2000’s DGS usage was primarily in the form of Brewers Grains, a by-product of the spirits and beer brewing industries. When ethanol production ramped up in the 2000’s, DGS became widely available in the form of dried DGS (≤ 12% moisture), modified
wet DGS (40-65% moisture) and wet DGS (> 65% moisture). Seldom have I been able to make dried DGS economically pencil into finishing diets but I am a real fan of modified wet DGS and sometimes of wet DGS. The widespread availability of modified wet DGS, either high fat or reduced fat, has revolutionized cattle feeding in the corn belt allowing midwestern states to compete with high plains cattle feeding. Distillers grains fed at 30-45% of the diet dry matter reduces rumen acidosis allowing cattle to be fed to higher weights for longer feeding periods, reduces diet cost of gain, is an economic source of protein and energy, is high in digestible fiber and reduces dietary starch content making it easy to start calves on feed. Distillers grains has been a real “game-changer.” The third development that has facilitated both cattle finishing and beef cow-calf programs is the use of cover crops. Cover crops, especially cereal rye, have been around since I was a boy in the 1960’s but only in the last few years has a renewed interest in cover crops really gained traction. A recent article written by Jared Wareham titled “Will Crop Residue Utilization Affect Herd Expansion” that I read in a 1-9-20 Drovers Email News-letter got me to thinking. There is enough cover crop planting to support increased cow numbers but cover crop use as a feedstuff for beef to stimulate an increase in cow herd numbers will not occur through grazing programs. Yes, some producers will utilize cover crop grazing but not enough to increase cow herd numbers. Why not? Remember when Earl Butz was Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and told American farmers to “plow fence row to fence row.” Well, they took his advice. Today we do not have enough infrastructure (fences and water) to increase cow herd numbers by grazing cover crops; and we never will. It costs over $8,000 per mile to put up permanent

fence. Hauling water to cows is a real pain-inthe-neck, especially in the winter. Constructing temporary fence with “hot” wire gets old real quick, especially when deer tear it down. Could the use of cover crops increase cow herd numbers? Yes, they could. Technology now allows us to bale high moisture hay and preserve it in plastic. A practice called baleage. Some cover crops such as cereal rye work well into a corn-soybean rotation – planting rye in the fall following corn harvest, harvesting rye in the late spring (early May) as baleage before planting soybeans and feeding the baleage to beef cows housed in dry- lot – maybe a monoslope. Harvesting cereal rye as haylage and storing it in ag-bags fits well into a finishing program, also. The very best receiving diet I have ever formulated is 15% ryelage, 42.5% soyhull pellets and 42.5% corn gluten pellets. This high digestible fiber diet is high in protein, low in starch and highly acceptable to young calves. Low starch content suggests this diet will not throw calves off feed even if someone feeds them too much, too fast. Yes, the big three game changers for the beef industry in the Midwest are monoslopes, DGS and cover crops. If you are not using one or more of these concepts, think about how they could positively affect your operation, especially if you have a son or daughter who wants to come home after college to the farm.

BRODY LEO My name is Brody Leo, I’m 13 years old and live in Snelling, CA. I have been showing steers since I was 8 years old. The last couple of years, I started showing Hereford heifers. My brother Tristan who is 9 just started showing steers this year. My family and I operate Leo Bros. Cattle Company where we raise club calves and run commercial cattle and yearlings. We also operate a diversified farming operation of almonds and hay. My dad, Matt is a partner in a commodity trading firm and is very involved in the almond Industry. My mom, Amanda is a partner in a produce and seed company. Our family is very involved in California’s ag industry and my dad has had the opportunity to judge many cattle shows across the United States. Last fall, I had the opportunity to go with him to Waco, Texas where he judged a steer show. We also toured Texas A&M University which was very fun. One of my favorite memories so far was winning the California State Fair 2 years ago with my steer Mr. Incredible! Unfortunately, this year our state fair has been canceled BUT WE WILL BE BACK next year! My favorite steer I ever showed was a steer named Batman. I was only 8 years old, but dad
and I practiced and practiced showing and grooming him. We took him to three shows that spring and he won all three of them! From then on, I was hooked and I’ve been very fortunate to have a lot of good steers make it to the back drop. It takes an army to get these steers ready and we have had so many friends and a great crew that has helped get them to look the part. With that said Faris Simon has helped me every inch of the way and his sister Layne has helped me hone in my showmanship skill’s. Faris has selected and helped me prepare my steers and more importantly been there with a pat on the back and words of encouragement win lose or draw he is family and I’m very grateful for all he has done. The cool thing is 20 years ago my dad helped him with his steers. It’s been a very fun ride! J Newton is also someone I look up to and he has also had a huge impact on my show career. Jose Tellez has been on the ranch since I was born. He keeps things going and helps me out a lot. On show day for good luck I always use a purple scotch comb and always put a pack of gum in my
show harness too! Dad and I always go up to the ring and see how the cattle are being lined up we make a game plan. When I’m not showing, I’m busy with school, 4-H and doing chores. My favorite movie is Star Wars and I really like the Lord of the Rings books. However, my favorite food is BBQ Ribs! I enjoy going to shows and seeing my friends and working with my calves, BUT I don’t like washing them! Showing cattle is important to me and my family and so is the ranching way of life. I’m thankful for the opportunity to show cattle and the lessons and experiences I’ve learned. I can’t wait for shows to start back up out west here again, but in the mean time I’ll keep practicing! My college plans are to hopefully attend Harvard University and become a lawyer someday. For right now I will enjoy school, get good grades and hopefully it all works out! Thank you to the Show Circuit Magazine for allowing me the opportunity to share my story and thanks to all my family and friends that have been there to support me!
