2010 Joes Boot Shop Calf Roping Make No Mistake!

Ryan Jarrett left no room for error. And when Stran Smith made one, Jarrett was there to collect. Story and pictures courtesy of Scott Stinnett, Clovis Livestock Market News

arrett, a native of Summerville, Gergia, was rock solid from start to finish in winning the 6th annual Joe’s Boot Shop Ariat Open calf roping here April 25. 2010 at the Curry County Events Center. Jarrett’s time of 37.88 on four returned him $5,355 and ironically, a signature “Stran Smith Ultimate” roping saddle from Cactus Saddlery, valued at $5,000. Jarrett’s victory brought an end to yet another record-setting weekend in what has become one of the largest calf roping’s in

the U.S. The JBS saw 886 ropers compete for in excess of $250,000 in cash and prizes over four days. The Ariat Open victory came on a day in which Jarrett also won the JBS Ariat eight-man professional match roping, averaging 9.57 on five runs. With his winnings in the match, and in the rounds and the average of the Open, Jarrett picked up more than $13,000 in cash – plus the saddle. Smith, who was the fastest on three head and was the last roper to compete in the championship round of the Ariat Open, finished as the reserve champion of the JBS for the second-straight year. Smith roped four in 39.88 and collected $4,284 in the average. But for one mistake on his final run, he might have won the Cactus saddle that bears his name. Smith, the 2008 world champion from Childress, TX, was 27.92 on his first three calves, leaving him last to rope in the 12man short round. And as the four ropers who preceded him made their final runs, each raised the bar. Chase Williams, a Tarleton State University standout who came back in the fifth position, drew a runner, but managed to make up time on the ground and moved to the lead. Hunter Herrin, the 2007 JBS champion from Apache, OK, made his bid for the title with the best run of the short round – an 8.69. Tyson Durfey, the Colbert, WA native who led the event after two rounds, came back in the No. 3 position needing an 11.52 to take the lead. He roped his calf deep around the midsection, but managed to flank and tie him in 11.19, moving to first. Then came Jarrett, who was back in the No. 2 spot needed an 11.81 to move past Durfey. Jarrett also drew a hard runner, but reached, roped and still managed to keep

the calf upright and he went down the rope. When he reached the calf, the bovine made a big jump and Jarrett gathered him in midair without hesitation and tied him in 9.38. Jarrett’s run left Smith needing a 9.95 to win the event as he rode into the box for the final run of the weekend. Smith was off the barrier on his final run and took an extra swing to rope the hardrunning calf about halfway down the pen. He was still in excellent shape until he got the to calf and was slightly off balance as he flanked. He landed on one knee and though he recovered quickly, the calf strained during the tie. It was enough to push his time to 11.96 and dropped him behind Jarrett in the average. Herrin suffered a similar fate as he and Jarrett advanced to the finals of the eightman Ariat Pro Match, held in conjunction with the Arait Open. The event featured three preliminary rounds in which the top ropers with the longest times were eliminated. Smith and Jerome Schneeberger went out in Round 1, while Monty Lewis and Blair Burk saw barrier violations take them out in Round 2. Josh Peek missed in Round 3, while J.D. Kibbe’s 10.34 – which included having to get the calf up before the flank – was too long. Jarrett, at 8.88 and Herrin, with a 8.59, moved on. In the two-head final round, Jarrett set the pace with an 8.03 on his first, while Herrin was quick as well in 8.59. Herrin came back with an 8.65 on his final calf, but a barrier added 10 seconds. Jarrett took his time with an 11.75 on the final run and collected top money of $3,500. Herrin receive $1,500 for second. On nine runs on his long final day – five in the match and four in the Open – Jarrett averaged a near-flawless 9.53 seconds per run. continued on page 2

Competitorial H

aving established a long-standing history of stamping out ignorance, I’m no stranger to shaking my head in disbelief as to how stupid the human species has become. I’ve come to the conclusion that there are a whole bunch of people out there that don’t have the common sense or reasoning ability of a fourth grader… and I can prove it. I can hardly read the news without becoming so frustrated with the nonsensical logic of society, that I start mumbling in disgust before putting it down altogether. Such was the case a day or two ago as I was reading about all the hoopla surrounding the recent immigration bill, signed into Arizona law by Governor Brewer. Since then, the Mayor of Albuquerque, R.J. Berry, led the charge (courageously) for a similar law to be enacted within the city limits of Albuquerque. The news has been filled with all sorts of depictions of throngs of people who have allowed themselves to be worked into a frenzy of opposition in both Arizona and now in Albuquerque. I discount a portion of it as purely politics, with

political opponents to those making these decisions using it as a tool to push the argument into one about race…It’s a despicable ploy. But what really sets me off is that some people actually believe that it’s not a good idea…..Really? How can it NOT be a good idea? Such were my mumblings when my two fourth graders sought out the opportunity to find out what it was that I thought was so “STUPID.” Rather than explain it to them flat out, I decided to find out how their intelligence matched up to all these idiots…. And so, I put forth a scenario that they could understand, and let them decide how best to solve the underlying problem. It went like this….. “Suppose we are roping steer contractors (God help us), and we have a big pasture where we keep our steers. Now let’s say we have an adjoining pasture where we keep steers that have broken horns or have been hurt, etc. So one morning we get up and go to gather a couple of truckloads of steers we need to take to a roping that morning. When we get to it, we find the fence

between the two pastures is down and the steers are all mixed together, and aside from a few that are obvious, for all practical purposes the two sets of steers are indistinguishable from one another. Short of running them through a chute and “checkin’em out” one at a time…. something that’s neither in the best interest of the steers nor very efficient for us…there’s no way of telling which ones belong where. So what do we do?” The very first words in response were…. “Load‘em all, take them to the roping and check them out one at a time when you’re putting on the horn wraps. Peel off the ones that don’t belong and send them back where they need to be.” Really?..... That’s the solution a pair of fourth graders came up with? …Really? I explained to them that this is exactly what is going on in Arizona and in Albuquerque, and that people are going nuts about it. It was when they both looked at me with perplexed stares and slight head-shaking as to how so many adults could be so stupid, that I realized this was a significant moment in their

lives….the birth of a pair of cynics…I’m so proud. The bottom line is that if I’m a roping cattle contractor, the last thing I want to do is spend my time harassing a mixed up set of steers to find out if some of them are in the wrong pasture. It doesn’t do them or me any good. But when their already in the chute, you can bet I’m going to use the opportunity to find out if they belong on the other side of the fence…..Even a fourth grader can figure that out. Like they say…”Life is hard, but it’s a lot harder when you’re stupid.”

The match featured four ropers and 16 calves in the arena at once. Each roper was required to rope and tie four calves, then remount and ride back to the start line. Calves that did not remain tied resulted in a 20second penalty. Klay Kirkes of Carlsbad and Dillon Lewis of Clovis also competed. Terry tied the first calf, while Eshleman was next. Kirkes, who lost a boot on his first one (and finished the match without it), managed to get his second calf tied before the other three. But Eshleman was right behind and he was first to tie the third. Terry, who was right behind with his third calf, suffered a setback when his tie didn’t hold. Terry strung his fourth calf first, while Eshleman was right behind. But Terry’s calf strained and he had to realign his string, giving Eshleman time to complete his fourth tie, remount, riding back across the line first. In addition to their winnings, each of the four received a unique leather jacket.

USTRC Blackhawk Championships April 29 - May 2 Salina, Utah Story courtesy of SuperLooper Magazine

he Blackhawk Championships took place in Salina, Utah at the Blackhawk Arena on April 29-May 2, 2010. Ropers from nine different states and from as far away as Hawaii competed at the annual event. One roper from about four hours away in Malad City, Idaho made the trip down and it was well worth the drive. Kevin Degn (pronounced Dane) heeled his way into greatness at the event and left with a goal accomplished. He and his partner Lance Elison have been roping together for a long time, but have never been able to win a saddle together. “Lance and I have been roping together about 12 years or so. He started heading, and so that left me to do the heeling,” said Degn. “We rope a lot and have always wanted to win a saddle together.” “We started roping at the same time and have struggled along, learning as we go,” said Elison. “It has been a lot of fun and we enjoy the competition.” The pair teamed up in the #10 Division and they caught four steers in 40.75 seconds. The time landed them third in the main Average. They roped well, but still felt empty because the saddle had eluded them. The team did take home $1,594 and a Regional Finals Shoot-Out worth $2,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. They entered up in the #9 Division hoping this would be the roping. They caught four steers in 37.57 seconds and when all the dust had settled, that was good enough for first place. The team earned $3,244 and a National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. Most importantly, however, they earned a USTRC trophy Cowboy Gold saddle. They had finally done it together. “This was the first saddle for Lance and me to ever win together,” said Degn. “It had been a long time coming and it finally worked for us. It was really exciting and it was certainly a goal accomplished.” “We are finally making some progress and it was really exciting to finally win a saddle together after all the hard work,” said Elison. “I think we are finally getting it all figured out and now who knows where we will go from here. We really had a good weekend and those don’t come around all

that often, so it was nice we could both have a good weekend at the same time.” Deng was not done. He came back in the #8 Division, where he teamed up with Tim Ekstrom. The caught three steers in 29.27 seconds and took first place in the Average. They earned $2,634, trophy Gist buckles and a National Finals Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. “Tim is a neighbor of mine and he used to heel, but we started roping together, so he went to the head side,” said Degn. “Our styles really compliment each other and we click together. It was great to win with him and I was really excited.” Blackhawk Championships Results Total Payout = $44,530 Open Average 5-Steer 1. Garrett L.

Speed Williams Team Roping

hat’s new for Speed Williams in 2010? He has been busy building a video library for his new website “speedroping.com” which offers subscribers a vast video collection of his career and practice sessions tailored with voice over to make them incredible training tools. Speed, an 8 time World Champion, is always looking for ways to share his expertise and insight on the subject of team roping. He has decided to take his knowledge and merge it with technology to create a website that allows his fans and peers the opportunity to learn with online video. Speed realized that a clinic is limited to time and space and he couldn’t possibly put on all of the clinics he was asked to do. So the idea of a “video training library” came about and the birth of speedroping.com came in early February 2010. Speed’s vision is to have the library house 100’s of videos on every topic for every need in team roping and help any roper at any time in any city, state or country. He said “I have always used video as training tool for myself and a large part of my success is from this process“. The library is growing at an incredible rate as Speed is always adding new video content as well as archiving his past personal library. The site requires a membership which is free to anyone and comes with the benefit to view introductory videos. If you like what you see and think a subscription may improve your roping, there are two payment models to choose from, yearly or monthly. Subscribers have access to the library 24 hours a day 7 days a week and can view videos as many times as they want! There are 10 main categories and over 85 sub categories to make it easy to find just what you need. Some of the categories include: Dummies ~ Angle. Delivery. Drills. Dummy Speed Heading ~ Box. Rating. Roping Horns. Scoring. Heeling ~ Box. Corner. Dally. Delivery.

Position. Target, Scoring. Horses ~ Kids. Practice. Preparation. Personal ~ Family. My Runs Practice ~ Challenges. Cowing. Ground Drills. Horse Drills. Rating Preparation ~ Practice Methods A

Some of Speed’s practice sessions include footage of him and his famous partners, such as Clay Cooper and Rich Skelton and special friends such as Michael Jones and Brad Culpepper just to name a few! He also has started working with his wife, Jennifer Williams, her heel horse and their children using their progress for training on the site as well. Speed’s library as to date holds over 100+ videos and boasts some impressive titles such as: Why Use the Hot Heels Fastback Ropes SSG Gloves Corpus Christi Rodeo U.S. Roping Austin Rodeo George Strait 2010 Practice For George Strait San Angelo Rodeo Facing Your Horse Speed and Clay Practicing Heeling and Throwing Fast Working a Heel Horse The site is already a great success and Speed has more plans for it in the near future to include a special section for Team Roping Classifieds. There will also be an online store with all your merchandise needs from speedroping.com such as Caps, T-shirts, Patches and Stickers. He also has plans to add an elite subscription level for even more benefits. All this is just around the corner! If you want to get that extra edge in the roping pen, it would be worth your while to stop by and check out Speed’s site. The testimonials are pouring in with great reviews! Stop by speedroping.com today! You’ll be glad you did!

My Cowboy Heroes

Rob Krentz Story and Photos Compliments of Jim Olson

on called Rob up one day and said, “Hey Rob, I’ve got this prolapsed cow over at the Double Adobe Ranch locked up in the corral and I was wondering if you could give me a hand?” “Sure,” says Rob, “just come on over and get me on your way.” So the two men headed over to the Double Adobe Ranch which is about an hour away from Don’s main ranch at Apache. They didn’t take a horse with them because Don had trapped the cow in the water lot earlier. Upon their arrival they found a mean old hussy who was none too happy about her current uncomfortable condition or the arrival of the two “would be” cowboy doctors. “You run her up the alley and I will catch her with the head gate,” Don instructed. After giving Rob quite a run around in the alley, he finally got her headed up the lead-up. She was really moving fast as she hit the front. As a matter of fact, she hit the front with such a force that the old bolts holding the head gate in place just popped like buttons on a shirt! The old gal then proceeded to run around the water lot with the head gate on her head and Don still holding on to the lever. Don didn’t want to let her go for fear she would escape, or worse yet, chase him around while wearing the head gate. After a minute or so of dragging Don around, the cow smartened up and backed out of the contraption till she was free of it. She then chased Don around the lot until at

last she cleared the top rail of the fence like a hurdler at a track meet. Laughing at the sight of all this, Rob says, “Wel, now what are we going to do boss?” It would take about two hours to go back to the main ranch and get a horse, so Don rummaged around behind the seat until he came up with an old catch rope. “We’ll rope her using this old truck,” declared Don. “You drive!” Rob says “Your ranch…your cow…your truck…you drive…I’ll rope.” So off they went across the mesquite flat dodging bushes and arroyos chasing after the prolapsed cow. The rope was tied to the gooseneck ball in the back and Rob had fashioned a hand hold onto the headache rack for balance and support. After chasing the cow far enough that she finally began to wear out a little bit, Don was able to line out on her in a fairly level area. As Don pulled up beside the cow, Rob swung a time or two and then landed a loop that should have made a professional roper proud. Rob threw the trip and Don turned the pickup off to the left just as if he was in Cheyenne at the Frontier days! The truck didn’t quite work like a good quarter horse would have, so the cow

was difficult to throw down. Don figured that after a while, the old cow would just choke down enough that they could tie her up and doctor her. The ole gal was too smart for that though and she always kept just enough slack in the rope to keep her breath. As Don and Rob tried many different methods of getting the cow down, about all that was accomplished was she was mad. Very mad. So mad as a matter of fact that she spent all of her time trying to chase the two cowboy doctors. Around the truck, in the cab, on the back, it didn’t matter; she was after her antagonists with a vengeance. Finally the two men came up with a plan; they had rummaged around behind the seat and came up with another catch rope. This one they tied off to the base of a larger mesquite bush. Don says, “Let her chase you by here and I’ll heel her.” Rob says, “You’re skinny and fleet of foot…you chase…I’ll rope.” So as Don let the cow chase him around like a champion bull fighter, he finally got her to go by the spot where Rob waited. With a heel shot that was sent by the Gods, Rob snagged a hind leg. Don jumped in the truck and took out the slack; the cow was tied down. Then, and only then, was she given slack. Well they got her stuffins put back where they belonged and sewed her up, then they cautiously let her go. Both men were wore out from the ordeal. As they headed back towards Apache Don told Rob, “I sure do thank you for helping me out

pard. That would have been quite a job for one man.” Robs reply? “Well that’s what friends are for.” This is a true account as told by a neighbor when asked, “Just what kind of friend was Rob Krentz?” The immigration vs. secure border issue has gotten more press lately than a political love scandal. It seems everybody has an opinion on the subject and most are quite vocal. But you know what they say about opinions . . . While this subject is not new by any stretch of the imagination, if you could point to one thing that has brought it to the forefront of political issues lately, it would have to be the murder of a southern Arizona rancher on his own property. On March 28, 2010 Rob Krentz became the poster child for the secure border issue. Unfortunately, it cost him his life. At the time of this writing Rob is without a doubt the most widely known rancher in America, maybe the world. Just ask anyone, anywhere, to name an American rancher today and they will more than likely say Rob Krentz, or at least, “You know…that guy who got killed down along the border.” As I read with interest all of the stories concerning the border and immigration, I started to wonder “just who was Rob Krentz?” I mean the person Rob Krentz, not the image or martyr that he has become for the secure border issue. I know several of the Krentz Ranch neighbors, and when one of them approached me about doing a story on the subject, I readily agreed on the condition that it was with the Krentz family blessing and that it would be a story on the man himself, not the political issues. I am honored that they agreed, because now I feel as if I know who Rob Krentz really was. I only wish that I could have met him prior to March 28.

It’s kind of like asking Lorraine (which once was a little country people how much money they have in the between Germany and France and now is bank. Only the IRS and a rancher’s banker part of France) around the turn of the last are privy to that information in the eyes of century. They were butchers by trade and most ranchers, including the Krentzes. first went to St. Louis. Family lore says that

The family were pioneers. They were the kind of people that settled and developed this country and made it safe for others to follow. They are the kind of family that should be considered the backbone of America. Surviving bad droughts, cyclical markets, government regulations, and a myriad of other issues made them into the strong ranching family that we have today. The Krentz Ranch has been there since before Arizona was a state. It has been there since long before there was ever a United States Forest Service dictating rules to them. This is the background and legacy that Rob was born into, a salt of the earth kind of old time ranching family. When asked about some of Rob’s other qualities, over and over again I am told about his willingness to help out. Rob’s wife, Sue, says, “Most of the time when Rob left the house he would say, ‘I am going to help (fill in the blank).’” Rob’s neighbors all have great stories to tell about Rob going out of his way to help them out of a jam. Not only would he help a neighbor, but Rob was kind to strangers as well, including the illegal immigrants that inundated his property. Rob was known to help out a thirsty, starving or wounded immigrant on more than one occasion. That may have been what got him killed. Rob’s last radio transmission to his brother Phil was something like: “going to help an illegal in distress.” Rob and his dog, Blue, were found shot several hours later. Rob’s friends and family could not stress strongly enough that he loved to help people. “A friend in need is a friend in deed” was a motto of Rob’s. Not only did he help out friends and strangers in and around the ranching country of southeastern Arizona, but Rob was very involved in many other projects as well. Rob was very active in the cattle growers’ associations at the local and state

levels. He worked with the Malpai Borderlands group trying to preserve ranching and wildlife habitat for future generations. He testified numerous times to congressional leaders about the issues facing the international border and always seemed to find the time to continue helping out where he could. The Krentz family were well known as good stewards of the lands that they control. They were honored for practices such as their long gravity flow water pipeline that served cattle and wildlife across their large ranch. Rob and his family took such good care of their land that they were used as examples of range stewardship on numerous occasions, and to top it off, the Krentz ranch was inducted into the Arizona Farming and Ranching Hall of Fame in its inaugural year, 2008. Rob was a favorite around brandings on the nearby ranches. He was nicknamed “Crunch” and everybody laughs as they recall the “Krentz Crunch” that Rob used on waspy calves. Rob was a large man physically and after watching younger or smaller cowhands get mucked out by an unruly yearling, Rob would come running and put the Krentz Crunch on the offending animal. The move has been described as a cross between tackle football and wrestling. Rob loved to hunt, fish, and do just about anything outdoors. He was a good roper, rancher, horseman, cowman, husband and father. Everybody I talked to had nothing but praise for Rob. He was easy to get along with. He was always positive. He was a genuine kind of person. Those are just some of the comments. Rob loved life and would constantly tell his family, “We are so very blessed. We are blessed to live in this beautiful place that we live in. We are blessed to get to live the lifestyle that we want to and do what we want to every day.” As one of Rob’s friends put it “Rob was one of the good guys, he was a good ole boy.”

USTRC Works to Hear the Roper’s Voice

he United States Team Roping Championships (USTRC) is breaking new ground in the roping industry with its Roper’s Voice Surveys and USTRC web site polls that started in April. “USTRC is the undisputed leader of the team roping industry and in order to remain at the top, we know we need to hear from our member roper,” said USTRC President Kirk Bray. “A total of 85 events are held each year, with more than 20 of those produced by the USTRC staff. Through post-event surveys, USTRC will gain valuable information from ropers regarding their perception of USTRC events and how USTRC can continue to grow and improve.” To date, three surveys have been conducted regarding recent USTRC team roping events among ropers in Texas, New Mexico and California, with early results indicating the USTRC remains in good stead with its member ropers. The majority of ropers indicate they enjoy participating in USTRC events, with many indicating high levels of satisfaction in cattle provided and in the overall quality of the events. Results also indicate that the economy is still having an effect on if and when a roper will compete, however, most are indicating that roping at the USTRC National Finals of Team Roping in October is still a major goal. In addition to the surveys, USTRC is conducting on-line polling of team ropers through its web site, USTRC.com. Polls are designed to gauge the prevailing opinions of ropers regarding specific concerns. Polls will be conducted at least twice per month. “USTRC has instituted a number of changes since January in response to what the member wants and needs to compete,” Bray continued. “USTRC has worked hard to gain the reputation for having the most professionally produced events in the country and is working just as hard to build a reputation in customer service.” The United States Team Roping Championships, headquartered in Stephenville, Texas, is the Official Home of America’s Cowboy Sport, representing more than 35,000 competitive team ropers across the country. USTRC brings the sport of team roping to the national stage by providing competition with integrity and sets the standard as the trusted source of team roping competition rules and classifications. USTRC events paid more than $19 million in 2009 to team ropers from all walks of life.

USTRC Panhandle Classic April 29 - May 2 Amarillo, Texas Story courtesy of SuperLooper Magazine

STRC team roping is about family. It is about fun and getting to spend time with your friends and family doing something that everyone enjoys. The Panhandle Classic at the Amarillo National Center in Amarillo, Texas on April 29-May 2, 2010 was no different. It was a great roping, but more importantly, it was a gathering place for friends and family. In fact, team ropers from 21 different states made the trip to rope for more than $200,000 in cash and prizes. Sixty-eight-year-old Johnnie Dougherty from Texhoma, Oklahoma thoroughly enjoyed the event. He and his family attended and the proud grandfather was excited to rope with his grandsons. Dougherty’s grandsons, Jarrett Dougherty and Shakota Field, both attended the event and were excited to be at one of their first USTRC ropings. “This was just a really great event,” said Dougherty. “The steers were the best set of steers I have roped in years. It was fun and I really enjoyed the weekend.” Dougherty and his partners won $10,374, a pair of trophy Gist buckles and $12,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. “We always go to this roping because it is the closest one to our house,” said Dougherty. “Even though we live in Oklahoma, it is our hometown roping.” Dougherty began in the #10 Division with Pat Swift. The team caught four steers in 35.84 seconds to place second in the Average. The win gave them trophy Gist buckles, and a National Finals Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. “This was the first time I had ever met Pat,” said Dougherty. “I have known his daughter for a while from the local jackpots. We got partnered up through a mutual friend and it worked good for us.” In the #9 Division Dougherty teamed up Roberto Zapata. They caught four steers in 40.63 seconds and finished in third place in the Average. The win earned them a paycheck for $4,034 and they also received a National Finals Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. “Roberto doesn’t travel a lot, but we rope at the local jackpots,” said Dougherty. “We made plans last winter to rope at the Panhandle Classic. I am trying to get him to go a little more, so maybe this will help.” Dougherty finished out the weekend roping with his grandson, Shakota Field. “I entered the #8 Pick/Draw with Shakota because he asked me first, and since you can only enter once I had to go with that,” said Dougherty. “Jarrett was really fortunate and drew a good partner and they had some success.” Dougherty and Field ended up placing tenth in the Average with a time of 37.67 seconds on three steers. They were excited about the opportunity to rope together and excited about the win. “We were really sitting good going into the short round. I think we were about fifth callback,” said Dougherty. “He roped the short go steer really good, but missed his dally and

by the time he got it we ended up fifth. He was really upset, but a call from his friend and mentor Patrick Smith made him feel better.” Jarrett Dougherty teamed up with Nathan McLaughlin and the two finished second in the Average. “I was really excited for both my grandsons,” said Dougherty. “They roped well and I was glad I could be a part of the event with them.” The Panhandle Classic came to a close and friends and family went their separate ways. However, they will meet again at the next one. Team roping really is a family sport and it’s something that every member of the family can be a part of. It doesn’t matter how old you are, there is a place for you. 2010 Panhandle Classic Total Payout = $178,134 Open - 5-Steer Average: 1.

USTRC Member Bill Casner Claims Derby Win

ong-time United States Team Roping Championships member Bill Casner of Flower Mound, Texas, was facing a potentially bleak Kentucky Derby when the four horses he and partner Kenny Troutt of WinStar Farms was reduced to two. With Rule not training at an appropriate level and Endorsement scratched with an injury, the owners agreed with trainer Todd Pletcher, 0-24 for Derby tries, that Super Saver and American Lion would carry the WinStar farms mantle. And so would two-time Derby winning jockey Calvin Borel. Borel worked his magic again for the second year in a row on a sloppy track taking the inside rail on Super Saver who powered ahead of the 20-horse field to take the win over Ice Box to place and Paddy O’Prado to show. Super Saver paid $18 to win. This is the third win in four tries for Borel, last year taking the Derby aboard Mine That Bird, another horse with “cowboy” connections. Super Saver was winning for the third time in seven starts. He had won his only prior start on an off track, last fall against maidens at Belmont Park, and had won his only previous race at Churchill Downs, in the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes. Super Saver had lost his only two starts this year. He was third in the Tampa Bay Derby, then was second three weeks ago in the Arkansas Derby. Super Saver, a colt by Maria’s Mon, also was bred by WinStar. His dam, Supercharger, a daughter of A.P. Indy, is a full sister to Bluegrass Cat, who ran second for Pletcher and WinStar in the 2006 Derby. MONTH-JUNE 2010 BUILT BY-DP IN HOUSE PROOF CRX’D “This is why you do this, why you’re in this business, this game,” Casner said on the winner’s podium after the race. “It’s an out-of-body experience.”

World Series Snapshots Shelley Productions April - This was a good roping, nice cattle and the new WS barrier was used. This roping like the previous month was down about 10% from early in the year and last year. Everyone is aware that running this the day after the Businessman’s is starting to be a problem. Where the Businessman’s use to compliment the WSTR roping, they are clearly competing with each other now, not to mention the quality of cattle are different in the two ropings and not everyone is aware of that. We would have pictures for you from this one and the other Shelley Productions ropings, but dementia!

Bullhead City, Arizona Fuller Productions April - Comments from the AVI crew was that this was the largest event they have had at the facility in the last year. For various reasons AVI has been getting the reputation as a great facility that has trouble drawing teams. That did not happen at this one. This was a good roping with very few complaints. Cattle were light and fresh which suited the majority very well, but some of the #10 ropers felt they were a little much for their division. Still overall comments were very positive.

Eaton, Colorado JX2 April - John Johnson traveled west for his first of the year in Colorado. They say this was a nice one, still just a little early for Colorado, but all ropings were over fifty teams which guaranteed $6,000 to $7,000 to win. John will be back shortly for a couple more ropings.

Mt Vernon, Missouri Mackey Tully April - This was Mackey’s first venture into Missouri. As predicted the ropings were all rather small at just under fifty teams each. Still the word spread pretty quickly about forty team jackpots that all paid over

$5,000 to win. We have a few teams showing up from Missouri at Heartland as a result of this roping.

Jacksonville, Florida JX2 April - Who the hell is World Series? The Florida guys for the most part didn’t have a clue. But there were a few that John talked into coming over and giving it a try. But this was a little like our first venture into Hawaii - two ropings under 10 teams each paying about $2,000 to win, and one whopper that had 13 teams paid $3,000 to win. So the story about that has hit Florida. Had one called in and wanted to know how that contractor could do that? Ha!

Castle Rock, Colorado Zamora Productions April - nice facility, cattle were good, a couple of complaints on the sort. Believe it or not, Colorado in May - several of the roads were snow covered. The majority stayed home and decided to wait until winter officially gives it up.

Robstown, Texas Gutierrez April - It was a good one, everything was on track. Little scheduling snafu - Ruben went right after San Antonio USTRC and same weekend of the Sweetest Loop. The guys that went really liked it, but Ruben says he will like it on a different weekend next year.

Clovis, New Mexico Mathews Cattle Co Nice new facility, set up kind of funny, WW boxes and chutes so you know the deal. Chris Francis worked his tail off trying to get the sort right, but the line between the mediums and fast kept changing. They used a standard barrier, and even though the barrier was really short, some of the headers as usual were afraid of it, therefore if they were late by fear, drew a runner.....same old story.

Wild Thing

he Wild Thing Championship Bull Riding is a truly un-matched event that has continued to offer the Southwest unique status among the world or bull riders and bull riding fans. The event is captivating not only by the countries top bull riders who come to compete against some of the best bucking bulls in the business for piles of cash and of course the chance to claim their share of this events grand history, but it has been voted the #1 open bull riding event in the southwest for the past three years. Hold on tight though fans, because this years promises to be the best yet! Looking back over the history of this event, clear back to the beginning in 1994 when the legendary, Jim Bob Custer rode to the events championship, you can see it has grown and evolved into something that bull riders crave. A wide open bull riding, filled with great stock and most importantly a big pile of cash awaiting those who finish on top! Just ask Ryan McConnel who won last years Wild Thing Bull riding with 90-point ride. McConnel walked away with a beautiful custom Red Bluff buckle and close to $9,000 in cash. Even more impressive was that only five out of the events 91 bull riders made qualified rides and earned part of the money last year, making the payout huge for each of them. The last place check was well over $1,000. Least to say none of them have been as easy to win part of! Simply put – You ride, you earn a check, or so it has been that way for the past several years. There areA not very many Open bull riding events that have an estimated $24,000 payout, with $6,000 in

JUNE 2010

une 2010! Wow the year is half over and I have to say the past few months have been a blur! I don’t ever remember my life being so busy. But, I have to say, even though it seems like I am going with my hair on fire, I am enjoying it. For this month’s installment, I am going to throw a little dirt back at those who have been pitching it around a bit. I just ran across some information about past USTRC events across the country. It is pretty easy to see that the majority of those who attend these events enjoy them, but like always, there are those who like to complain about one thing or another, like cattle too strong, flaggers being too stingy with re-runs, payback too low, format not working, and, of course, classifications. This got me thinking about those I have listened to and seen complaining at events. There are a few things that I would like to say about them. First, it is often only a handful of people who express their dissatisfactions. It often seems like a whole lot more but I realized this is only because those who like to complain tend to express their negative feelings when at events. Seldom does anyone who enjoyed an event corner you up and say, “Man – what a great event, I can’t wait for the next one.” It takes a good producer to see through the smoke screen blown up by those who complain and continue to produce quality events that have proven to be successful. This goes for any type of event – large, small, rodeo affiliated or not. Next, I’d like to examine those who are on the complaint pulpit. First off, doesn’t it always seem to be the same people? I believe if they would spend a little more of their effort towards winning and less towards complaining, maybe they would find more enjoyment in the event. I never have seen anyone who picked up their check or prizes complaining about it. Now complainers, remember this. When attending the next event that might have strong cattle, a longer score or maybe not just the perfect set-up for your style, everyone is competing under the same conditions and have the same chances to win or lose. It’s called competition. I learned a long time ago to give it your all, take your losses and learn from them, suck up the bad calls and take advantage of the good ones. I think this can be applied to any sport, hobby, business, and life in general. Finally, in defense of those who express their dissatisfaction. If there is an overwhelming majority who agree with you, don’t worry, the event won’t last. No ill-produced event will succeed. Also, continue to express your concerns, just back off of the bad language and make your complaints constructive,\ in way that will be better taken by the producer who is trying to do the best job he or she can. Until Next Time – Dirt, Keep it Under Your Feet Ryan Davis

Past Wild Thing Winners

added cash and has created bigger crowds and larger payouts for bull riders anywhere in the Southwest. So if you claim to be a bull rider and you want to fill your sack full of money, the Wild Thing is the place to be. In addition, if you enjoy the awesome action of a great bull riding event, you can find a seat in front of one of the best as this years Wild Thing plays out at the Red Rock state park in Gallup, New Mexico on July 9 and 10. Who knows, maybe this will be you year to line your name up against some of the best bull riders ever who have won this event in the past. The Wild Thing – Biggest Money in the Country – Don’t miss out!

Brazile Reaches $100,000 Milestone in Record Time A win in the third round of the steer roping competition at Guymon (Okla.) Pioneer Days on April 30 put Trevor Brazile over the $100,000 mark for the season, allowing him to break his own all-around record for reaching that milestone at the earliest point in the season. Brazile’s previous record was achieved on May 14, 2006, in Tulsa, Okla. Only bull riders Chance Smart (2008) and

PBR Davis named Sharon Shoulders Award recipient The Professional Bull Riders, Inc. (PBR) is pleased to announce that Tiffany Davis is the 2010 recipient of the Sharon Shoulders Award. She is the wife of Jerome Davis, a founding member of the PBR who was inducted into the Ring of Honor in 1998. Created by the PBR Board of Directors to honor women who have made a difference in the sport of bull riding, the award is named in honor of Sharon Shoulders. Sharon Shoulders was recognized for her support and encouragement of her late husband, Jim Shoulders, the celebrated cowboy and bull rider who was inducted as a member of the first class in the PBR Ring of Honor in 1996. “Tiffany Davis is an inspiration to everyone who has ever had the good fortune to meet her,” said PBR COO Sean Gleason. “She lights up every room she enters and exemplifies the qualities that the Sharon Shoulders Award was established to honor.” Tiffany, then Jerome’s fiancée, was in the stands when he was paralyzed in a fall in 1998. Friends since childhood, they married about seven months after his injury, despite attempts by Jerome to “run her off,” and have not spent a night apart since. The two live in Archdale, N.C. where they breed and raise top-notch bucking bulls. They host a variety of bull riding events at the Davis Rodeo Arena, a 5,000-seat venue they constructed just a short ride from their home, and run the Jerome Davis Bull Riding School. Tiffany will be honored with a reception from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. and will be presented with her award during the Ring of Honor ceremony. The ceremony is from 12-2 p.m. and tickets are still available for $25 for general admission seating and there are a limited number of tickets for $75 which includes a reserved seat and lunch. Tables can be purchased for $750, which includes 10 seats with lunch and recognition in the event

Douglas Duncan (2009) have ever arrived at the $100,000 barrier faster than Brazile. With his combined earnings at Guymon for steer roping and his win in the tie-down roping, Brazile now has $106,405. He holds a $59,337 lead over Josh Peek in the allaround standings in his bid to become the first man to win eight all-around world championships. “It’s been a good year,” Brazile said. “I’ve been blessed my entire career, and I haven’t changed anything as to how I’ve done it. It’s still having a strong work ethic and having the best horses. “I never take my horses for granted, because they are what have gotten me to where I am.” His $6,503 in tie-down roping at Guymon allowed Brazile to move past 2008 World Champion Stran Smith into first place in the world standings, making him the first person to overtake a RodeoHouston champion in season earnings. In addition to leading in tie-down roping and the all-around, Brazile is fourth in the steer roping and seventh in the team roping standings among headers. If he qualifies for the National Finals in all of his events, Brazile will tie Larry Mahan’s record for most years qualifying in three events in the same season with seven.

By merely qualifying for the National Finals in two events, Brazile will move past Roy Cooper into second place on the alltime list of NFR qualifications in all events combined. Brazile has 31 qualifications (13 SR, 11 TD, 7 TR) and trails only Cooper (32) and Tee Woolman (42) in the history of the sport.

For Ring of Honor ticket packages please contact Brenda Pachino at (719) 242-2850 or at brenda@pbrnow.com. The proceeds from the Ring of Honor will be given to Garth Brooks’ Teammates for Kids Foundation as part of the PBR’s commitment to raise $1 million for the charitable organization. Teammates for Kids was cofounded by Garth Brooks 11 years ago with 67 major league baseball players. As of 2010, 2,400 professional athletes from Major League Baseball, NFL, NBA, Major League Soccer, and now the PBR, make donations every year to the foundation. The number one rule at Teammates for Kids is 100 percent of the money goes to the kids. All of the money raised is distributed to select nonprofit organizations that serve and benefit children in the United States and around the world. The PBR Ring of Honor was created in 1996 to recognize those who have had the most profound impact on bull riding, both in and out of the arena. Its 30 members include such luminaries as the Shoulders, PBR founding fathers Ty Murray and Cody Lambert, and three-time PBR World Champion Adriano Moraes. The PBR’s elite Built Ford Tough Series will highlight the Wild, Wild West Festival presented by First Stop on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at the Colorado State Fair Events Center. Tickets are available for as little as $10 and can be purchased online at www.ticketmaster.com or by telephone at (800) 745-3000. Event times are 8 p.m. on Friday, 6 p.m. on Saturday, and 5 p.m. on Sunday. Fans will be able to experience adrenalinefueled action when the Top 40 bull riders in the world take on the toughest animal athletes, pumped by rock and roll and bathed in pyrotechnics. The PBR is having the deepest title race in history with less than 900 points separating the top four riders and eight riders within 1,800 points of each other in the BFTS

standings. A potential 1,100 points are available at the Pueblo Invitational. The Pueblo Invitational will feature three rounds of the best bull riders matched against the top bulls in the PBR. The scores from the three rides will be combined, and the Top 15 riders will advance to the Built Ford Tough Championship Round following intermission on Sunday afternoon, where they will compete with one more bull. The rider with the highest total score after the championship round will be declared the winner. Round 2 of the Pueblo Invitational will be the third ABBI Classic event of the BFTS season. The ABBI, which introduces young bucking bulls at select BFTS and Touring Pro events, is dedicated to unifying, developing and promoting the buck bull industry through pedigree preservation; enhancement and promotion of bucking bull ownership, breeding, and welfare; and development of programs and events showcasing the world’s finest bucking bull stock. The ABBI is the third-largest cattle registry and is set up to record and preserve the pedigrees of the world’s premier bucking bull livestock. Fans will be able to meet and get autographs from 2009 PBR World Champion Kody Lostroh and Flint Rasmussen, the exclusive entertainer of the PBR, and get their pictures with the PBR World Finals Cup on Thursday from 3-5 p.m. at Sam’s Club, 412 Eagleridge Blvd. in Pueblo.

Four-Time AQHA/PRCA Horse of the Year Walt Dies Of Aneurysm Travis Tryan’s great head horse Precious Speck, best known as “Walt,” died April 24 of an aneurysm while warming up for morning slack at the Clovis (Calif.) Rodeo. He was 20. “They had a special bond, and even in those final moments, Walt seemed to be looking out for Travis,” said Tryan’s wife, Hillary. “Travis could have been badly injured in the fall, but Walt laid him down on the ground. “Walt was gone almost immediately after that,” Travis said. “It all just happened really fast.” Walt, who was buried under an oak tree at PRCA team roper Bert McGill’s Annadale Equine Center in nearby Sanger, Calif., had been voted the AQHA/PRCA Team Roping Heading Horse of the Year in each of the last three years and four times overall (also in

2003). He was also third in the balloting twice. He won the award a year ago despite missing nearly two months of competition while recovering from a life-threatening bout of colic. Surgeons at the Idaho Equine Hospital in Nampa, Idaho, cut out a fatty tumor the size of a grapefruit. “Walt dodged bullets a couple of times,” Hillary Tryan said. “He survived a case of ringbone about 3½ years ago and then the colic last July. He had a fighting spirit and loved what he did. He always wanted to get back in the arena.” Travis Tryan, a Montana native who currently lives in Santo, Texas, surpassed $1 million in career earnings last season, and the great majority of that was won on Walt, who Tryan once called “the greatest horse that has ever lived.” Tryan rode Walt at all nine of his appearances at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. His brother, Clay, rode Walt there once, as did Trevor Brazile. While riding Walt at the 2008 Wrangler NFR, Tryan and his partner Cory Petska tied the then-world record time of 3.5 seconds in the eighth round. Tryan’s backup horse, Gold Digger, 19, had colic surgery in December and isn’t quite ready to return to competition. Duke, a horse he bought from Speed Williams in 2009, died three weeks ago of liver failure.

ll-Around Barnes’ Son Accepts Basketball Scholarship From University Of Hawaii Shooting guard Bo Barnes, the son of seven-time World Champion Team Roping Header Jake Barnes, has signed a letter of intent to play basketball for the University of Hawaii.

Founder of Smith Brothers Rope Store Dies In Brazil Johnny Terrance Smith, founder of the Smith Brothers roping supplies store in Denton, Texas, died April 6 in Goiania, Brazil, from a heart attack. He was 69. In the 1980s, Smith Brothers Arena was host to some of the greatest team roping competitions in the country – the Bob Feist Invitational and the Smith Brothers World Champion Junior Calf Roping. Smith moved to the ranching country of central Brazil in 1990, and lived there for the last 20 years of his life. He requested that he be cremated and his ashes scattered on the Araguaia River in Brazil.

On The Horns Of A Dilemma

uction markets solve a lot of our problems. Not only do they provide the best form of price discovery, they also give us a place to send our waspy critters. Like weary parents who celebrate when their bratty kids are old enough to send to school, (where they become the problems of some poor teacher), we celebrate when we finally get our wild cows corralled and the Gooseneck door is closed. When that trailer door is next opened the crazy cows, belligerent bulls and horny heifers become the problem of the courageous folks at the auction market. In many instances our bad actors do far more damage to the sale barn facilities than they bring in commission. While cattlemen in northern climes may laugh at the lop earred, multicolored, horned cows of the great Southwest, be advised that they are that way for a reason. These cattleMONTH have more enemies than their MAR 10 BUILT BY northern cousins and they use their horns

the process! Years ago I got to a sale the day before and went to hang out at the auction market where we’d be dispersing a big herd the next day. Being aware of my vast judging team experience and my encyclopedic knowledge of cattle the sale manager asked if I’d be willing to help, as he was a little short handed in the labor department. I puffed out my chest, said I’d be glad to share my knowledge and was promptly told to, “Get on a gate, open it when I tell you to and try hard not to mess things up.” The alleys that day were no place for a coward and I was put over the fence several times. The cattle weren’t crazy, just a tad bit independent, I’d say. I have one memorable cow to thank for introducing me to the solar system during those festivities. I am told it’s quite rare for anyone to see as many constellations of stars as I did that day, especially at three o’clock in the afternoon! That cow also taught me a valuable lesson: never get to a sale a day early. If you must, stay away from the auction yard. The next day, after we had sold the cows, we sold the bulls. We ran them in as

as a weapon against pumas and people. Their hides are mobile air conditioners and their ears remind us that in many parts of cow country the best cow is a cross between two distinct species: the Bos Taurus and Bos Indicus. Laugh at their ears if you want ye northern cowpokes but plop down one of your good looking, hornless beasts in Fort Huachuca, Arizona, in the middle of summer and you’ll see what I mean. Having said all that, it doesn’t mean that these cattle can’t be a challenge at the auction market. One of the most important services that sale barns provide is sorting our cattle into uniform lots for the buyers. Many times I have sent a mixed load of stockers to the local auction and when they were sold I hardly recognized them. I quickly learned as a young rancher that one talented person with a sorting stick may bring your biggest premium of all. But theCRX’D VSA IN HOUSE PROOF person doing the sorting might get killed in

groups and on the very first pair the buyer wanted to avail himself of buyer’s choice. This put the auctioneer on the horns of a dilemma. Due to space limitations out back we’d expected to sell the bulls in groups but this guy was the biggest cow buyer and the auctioneer didn’t want to offend him. So he caved in which meant the ring men had to sort the one bull off in the ring and in doing so they put themselves in grave danger. Emphasis on the word “grave.” Then we sold the second bull to the same guy for $25 more! Sometimes it works that way. The audience was like a bullfight crowd, seeming to love every second of the ring men’s dance with death that day. After the sale I asked one of the brave ring men if he wasn’t a little upset at the crowd for being so bloodthirsty. He looked up to the sky where a band of buzzards were making their daily rounds and said, “Those people on the seats came to see a show and they are just like those buzzards in many ways. They don’t care if the ring men or the cattle die, just as long as something does!” www.LeePittsbooks.com

This newly remodeled home includes: Viking appliances Concrete countertops Mesquite and cherry cabinets 2 beehive fireplaces Saltillo tile Saguaro rib ceilings Hand hewn corbels and beams throughout Stained glass windows Jacuzzi bath tub New heat pump and central air conditioning Custom interior doors Hand carved solid teak entranceway 1,200 sq. st. custom built barn loaded with amenities and attached to extended horse facilities 150' x 275' lighted roping arena Steer holding pens and pasture 50' round pen Half-acre automatically watered Bermuda grass horse pasture

Philip I was heading at a rodeo where a rope barrier was being used. I called for the steer and roped it. I did not see my heeler, nor was I watching his horse. Somehow the neck rope barrier wrapped around the heel horse’s front feet. I had turned the steer before seeing that the neck rope was tripping the heel horse. We were not allowed a rerun, because I had roped and turned the steer. The Flagger said I should have pulled up. My argument was that it would have been impossible as I was throwing when my horse was partially still in the box. Should we have been given another run?

Located in one of the most secluded and lush areas in Tucson, this ranch estate has been in the same family for more than 30 years and has just now become available. Professionally landscaped grounds surround the home with mature trees, rose gardens, extensive lighting, automatic irrigation and fruit orchards. Proximity to shopping conveniences but extreme seclusion makes this home a unique opportunity. There are endless horse trails to be explored but one doesn’t have to leave the house to watch the deer, javelina, hawks, owls, quail, fox and bobcats as this ranch provides water and refuge for these and many other native animals.

Dion Thanks for your question. First off I’m assuming, since you did not mention a line judge, they did not have one at this rodeo. This is a perfect example of why a line judge is so important. The line judge should work with the flagger, because the line judge may see something the flagger could not see. When you have a line judge he should be standing on the score line. This is where he could see the head horse, the barrier, and the neck rope on the steer. So, if something malfunctions, he would be able to see it very clearly. By the situation you are describing, it would be very difficult for the header to see what was happening to the heeler. The heeler should have pulled up immediately, and declared himself fouled by the neck rope to the flagger or line judge. I am unclear in your question if this was done or not. This is where the line judge and flagger should have consulted with one another to make the call. So from what you are saying, it is my opinion that the heeler was fouled by the neck rope, and this should have resulted in a rerun.

Goats to the Rescue

emember that old song, “Bill Grogan’s Goat?” After the goat ate three red shirts off the clothesline Bill “gave him a whack” and tied him to the railroad track. When the whistle blew and the train drew nigh the goat “gave three groans of awful pain, coughed up those shirts and flagged the train.” There’s a truism tucked into that song: Goats will eat almost anything. Land management specialists’ research has proven once again that, like grandfather said, sometimes the “old” ways are best. Goats – and sheep – provide effective weed control without any environmentally problematic side effects. The invasive plant, leafy spurge, is a great example. It was first found in Massachusetts in 1827 and by 1979 it had spread to 30 states. It can reduce rangeland cattle carrying capacity by 50 to 75 percent. About half this loss is from decreased grass production. Also, cattle won’t graze in dense leafy spurge stands so those areas are a 100 percent loss to producers. Goats, however, thrive on leafy spurge along with many other noxious weeds. Also, goats (and sheep) can help prevent forest wildfires by grazing the undergrowth before it builds up into fuel for the fires. Plus the trees can utilize the fertilizer from their manure, which supplies nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur. This environmentally friendly weed control knowledge has spawned several businesses, especially in the western United

States. A goat or sheep owner rents out the animals to ranchers or other landowning entities for weed control. The animal owner doesn’t need to own any land because everybody is out “working” all the time. After their work is done the animals can be sold for meat. Also, if the weed killing worker is a sheep it can be sheared and the wool sold before the animal is harvested. Cashmere goats produce a valuable fiber. It’s probably a good idea, though, to remember Bill Grogan’s goat when considering where to place these guys. I, personally, have had several run-ins with goats. Our family photo album has a picture of me, age 2, with the goat my dad gave me. They tell me the goat was sold after he knocked me down five or six times. One of my daughters had a nanny goat. She was a fun animal, but she escaped her pen one day and climbed on top of my car in the driveway, leaving little hoofmarks etched into the hood. I never figured out how she did that. Also, one of my grandchildren’s goats became the title story of my first column collection when it drug me through the barnyard gravel — face first. Still, I’m thinking this might be a good business. Not only would I NOT need to purchase feed for my animals (a huge plus), but they would be paid for enjoying the weeds in my clients’ pastures or woodlands – even city parks. If you see an ad for grazing goats for hire, that’ll be me. I’ll just park my car beyond the fence line for its protection.

Other highlights include: a straightforward analysis of the importance of pre and post deworming fecal egg counts, a weight calculator for proper dosing, a link to the SafeGuard-For-Horses Facebook fan page, a link to the SafeGuardEquine Twitter page, a free sign-up for a rotation

reminder service, a free customizable barn chart and a downloadable coupon for Safe-Guard® equine dewormers. “Equine parasites are the number one health issue facing all horse owners today,” said Stacy Basinger, retail marketing manager for Intervet/ Schering-Plough Animal Health. “In fact, it is estimated that as many as half of all equine deaths are attributable to parasites. The good news is that parasites can be controlled and eliminated - restoring good health to our equine friends. The key to doing this is developing a rotational deworming program that contains the three ‘Rights’ - The right dewormer for the right horse at the right time. Equine parasite drug resistance has become a very hot topic within the industry and there is a lot of misleading information out there. Currently, Safe-Guard® Power Dose™ is the only FDA approved dewormer safe for all horses that kills all stages of encysted small stronglyles. Unlike most other parasites, encysted small stronglyles are sneaky and do not show up on fecal egg counts, so it is crucial to use the proper product like Safe-Guard® Power Dose™ to protect your horses. Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health is committed to providing the most complete and accurate information available and in this spirit, we are pleased to launch the new GetRotationRight.com. A lot of time and effort went into the development of the website to produce one key goal - healthy horses who lead productive and joyous lives.” For more information visit: www.GetRotationRight.com About Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health is a leader in research and dedicated to the development, production and marketing of innovative, high-quality animal-health products for all major farm and companion animal species.
