Competitorial Horses, Pickups and Wives

H

ave you ever noticed that every roper in the world thinks his horse is the best horse in the arena? Regardless of how big a “dink” he might be, most everyone I know tends to hold their mount in higher esteem then it seems reality should dictate. I have noticed this to be the case about pickups as well. Regardless of the make or model…whatever you’re driving is “the best.”

Of course it should be noted that “the best” can change as quickly as it takes to make a trade to another.

Whenever I find myself an audience to this kind of conversation, it always reminds me of something an old horse trader used to tell me, “Horses are worth about twenty-eight cents a pound, anything you get for em’ over that is about love.” He would always follow up that bit of logic by explaining that determining the value of a horse was not unlike determining the value of a wife, “Love, or the perception of it, can add a lot of value.”

So I got to thinking about these three things, horses, pickups and wives… not because I have so much extra time to spend pondering stupid crap like this… but because I thought the similarities and differences between them was fascinating. Let’s face it, all three are big ticket items, and though they say a house is the biggest purchase most people make… I know where some of you live, and well, how much you have invested in the other three... so I know that’s not always the case.

Okay, now for the disclaimer. I know that a wife is neither chattel nor an “item,” so save yourself the effort of writing or emailing me with your observation as to how ignorant I am… I know I’m ignorant… and please, stop taking yourself so serious. That said, I’ll still be expecting your letters and emails.

Of course in evaluating the “cost of ownership,” per se, you have to start with considering the initial investment. This is a pretty straightforward concept when it comes to pickups. You start with the “sticker price” and then, based on your expertise in dealing with those pearly smiling, pit vipers that lurk just inside the front door of the dealership, it’s usually all over in an hour or two. It should be noted that when you’re driving off, you inevitably feel like your negotiating skills are much better than in fact they actually are… as you always get the lesser side of the deal.

Horses are a little different. Yes, just like buying a new pickup there is the initial “sticker price,” but from there it becomes a contest of love. That is, it boils down to a process of how deeply the owner can convince you to fall in love with your new potential “hay gobbler” as compared to how much you can make the owner fall out of love with him. There are a lot of factors in play, but that’s pretty much the bottom line to it.

Wives are altogether another story. The process carries with it the most potential downside as they all seem to be genetically predisposed to be well-versed in disguising the initial investment. Add to that their gender specific advantages and… well… it’s pretty easy to perceive a high love potential with little or no perceived downside. Basically it’s a crapshoot.

After the initial investment, maintenance costs can be compared. With pickups, some are worse than others as we’ve all had a lemon or two. Of course, in staying consistent, rarely does anyone ever “own” a lemon. Even a lemon is great when you own it. It’s only after it’s been replaced by the “best pickup ever” that they’re sometimes identified as a “pile of junk.”

USTRC Red Rock Classic in the Incentive Average.

New Mexico was on top of their game in the #12 Gold Plus. Jerome Sangster from Yatahey, New Mexico and Bahe Henio from Pinehill, New Mexico placed first in the main Average. They were 29.33 seconds on four and won $2,052, trophy Gist buckles and $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. Second place was Randall Billy and Henio, and third place went to the Incentive champion team of Rick Powell from Gallup, New Mexico

and Carleton Charley from Church Rock, New Mexico. Jerry Elkins and Tata Savedra, also from New Mexico, placed first in the century bonus.

Reidhead struck again in the #11 Division, this time roping with Brain Nastacio. The pair won the Average with a time of 31.75 seconds on four and took home trophy Cowboy Gold saddles, $5,536, and $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. Second place was Randy Mike and Scooter Garcia and third place went

Horses are a little different. The truth is, some simply carry a much higher maintenance investment than others. Maybe it’s that they have to be kept “ridden down” to keep them from buckin’ you off. Some have ridiculous high maintenance diet requirements, and of course some are simply medically high maintenance to keep in service. Of course others are just plain old lemons. The difference I see with comparing them to pickups is that high maintenance issues regarding horses are rarely discussed… either while owned or after they’ve been pawned off. I think it’s universally considered bad horse trading etiquette to sell a horse and then whine about how high maintenance he was. And in the case where you simply couldn’t get him to work for you… well, that’s almost never disclosed for fear that he’ll work really well for the next owner… and you never want to open the door for your horsemanship skills to be called into question.

Wives… hmmm… well, some are definitely more high maintenance than others. What’s most interesting is that it’s easy for men to quickly identify “other” men with high maintenance wives. Of course some are universally identifiable. When we see you following your “toenail-artworked,” small-dog-carrying wife through the grandstands, while toting her chartreuse, 20-gallon, stuffed-to-the-hilt, day-bag, in search of the perfect seat…which you will undoubtedly clean up for her before she actually sits down…well…we know.

While discussing maintenance costs, you can’t ignore the add-ons or upgrades. With horses this is not much of an issue, unless you plan on sending him off to some guru horse trainer that’s going to turn him into a “Heading Horse of the Year” candidate. Pickups however are another story. There seems to be no limit to how much money a man can pour into one, doctoring it up to make it his own personal treasure. I will say that I definitely see a correlation between the upgrades in performance, and one’s overall “redneck coefficient”… admittedly, I like some of that myself.

to David McCallister and Dominic Silva.

Bob Felkins from Gilbert, Arizona and Brandon Perkins from Pinedale, Arizona won the Incentive Average.

The father/son team of Paul and Pace Blanchard teamed up to win the Average of the #10 Division. They were 36.74 seconds on four steers and earned $6,380, trophy Cowboy Gold saddles and $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. Second place was Lee Cook and Rodney Wilcox with a time of 39.21 seconds on four steers. The third place finishers were Ronnie Baca and John Hawkins.

And wives… well… some of them get “doctored up” too. I’ll make no comment with regards to the value of such upgrades.

Lastly you have to consider the “trade-in” or “salvage” value. (Yeah, I know… it’s a slippery slope now). This is where there are the most similarities. Making a trade-in or defining some salvage value in order to make an upgrade is almost always a losing proposition. Depending on the circumstances, you might be able to minimize your loss with a horse trade, or even come out ahead, but it’s not likely.

Pickups… forget about it… you’re gonna get dinged. Remember those negotiating skills you were so proud of when you made the purchase? The true light of its effectiveness comes shining through come trade-in time… and it’s bright.

Wives are the worst altogether when it comes to making a change. Basically half the stuff you have is hers and it’s the good half. My advice: DON’T DO IT! Keep toting that chartreuse bag and finding her a good place to sit. To be honest, I’ve seen a lot of so-called “upgrades” that weren’t upgrades at all…just an expensive downgrade.

In conclusion I’d like to add that I was feeling quite satisfied thinking about how cutting edge this month’s column was going to be; comparing pickups, horses and wives… “Who would ever do that?” Stepping out of the shower at about 5:00 this morning, and grinning to myself, my wife met me with, “happy anniversary”… which I promptly followed up with the absolute wrong response… “What?” … it’s going to be an expensive day, and I’ll be happy to tote whatever needs toting

USTRC Adds Facebook To Communications Initiative

T

he United States Team Roping Championships, the national governing body for the sport of team roping, has added another tool to its communications arsenal with the addition of a Facebook page.

“Social media has clearly become an important tool for growing businesses who want to reach their customer,” said USTRC President Kirk Bray. “Facebook will complement the USTRC web site, the monthly enewsletter, blog and YouTube channel, as well as the USTRC smart phone application by tying all of those things together into one convenient location for the members.”

Bray also said the USTRC Facebook page will likely seem a bit different from the ordinary.

“Visitors to our Facebook page will see some fairly dynamic pages that are customized to provide direct links to the information they need on a more timely basis,” he said. “With the integration of Facebook into so many areas of communication, the USTRC member will be notified of event changes, upcoming events, and news faster and more accurately than ever before.”

The USTRC page is listed as USTRC and as a sports league on the social media site. To locate the page, type USTRC in the search field.

For more information or to link to the USTRC Facebook page, go to www.ustrc.com or call 254.968.0002.

World Series of Team Roping Heartland Finale

A

t a glance, the bottom line for the 2011 Heartland Finale would read “Heartland Payoff Drops $100,000.” That is technically correct, but actually not very accurate. The truth is that this roping was poised to increase by over $200,000 and pass the million-dollar mark, and ended up $120,000 behind last year. The EHV panic pretty well took care of that. The panic and early week tornadoes, created a secondary drawout panic here at our office. It took every bit of experience that we had to hang on to the bulk of the roping. We added the bonus rotations to pump the payoffs back up, allowed late entries, and a few other tricks to end up roughly $120,000 behind the 2010 level. So even though the comparison to last year was not what everyone expected, we felt fortunate. The negative perspective could not hide the reality of divisions paying $192,000, $188,000, $175,000, and $160,000 respectively. Total payoff was $715,000 with $70,000 in prizes, and by the way, the Cactus Saddles were outstanding, nicest we have ever seen. For the second time in two years this is the highest paying team roping in the United States for the first six months of the year!

Before we get to the highlights of the roping, let me express our thanks to all of the competitors who endured and trusted our EHV information. We appreciated it so much that we are allowing every single contestant from Heartland to be qualified for Vegas in the division that they entered. I know this will cause some to say this indicates that our entries in Vegas are down, which is certainly not the case. The truth is that Vegas Legacy deadline is now and there were a high percentage of Vegas Legacies already entered attending Heartland, and a high number of ropers who had already qualified. With the five qualifiers that were cancelled the week prior to Heartland, and the three qualifiers that were disasters during Heartland, our qualification offer will merely be an offset.

However, this was our simple way of showing appreciation to those without whom the 2011 Heartlands would have been lost.

On a high note, the new air conditioner at the Lazy E worked well, with a few jackets seen around the arena on Thursday morning.

Cattle were not those originally contracted but EHV influenced this decision also. Originally we contracted three loads of fresh cattle that would arrive at Guthrie with one small roping and a second large roping under their belt.

The EHV scare cancelled the second (seasoning) roping. With only one small roping on the “fresh” 300, we did not feel comfortable presenting the fresh cattle at $2000 per team. Our fall back herd took some continual sorting, but they were well above average and our complaints and rerun requests centered mainly on the “strong” steers within the bunch.

The “Cactus Saddlery #13 Finale” went off without a hitch. The catch ratio was high with nearly half the teams making it to the short round. Nevertheless, the overall times were the same as our national average for #13 qualifiers. The big story here was Jacob Griffin. The young man from Louisiana has been in the hunt all spring at our qualifiers without much success. In the #13 the first and second high calls both missed and Spencer Griffin and Hank Brown set young Jacob up to look like a big leaguer. He absolutely attacked both of his short round steers to win first and second, $35,000 and two new

saddles. Honorable mention to Kent Shankles who double dipped and bagged $13,000.

The Fastback Ropes #12 Finale was memorable. Tyler Riggan and Jahew Thorp were the high call and drew a steer that set up in the short round. They qualified the steer in the field, and were deserving of a rerun.

However, their qualified run, if accepted, was good for $11,000 and sixth place. The problem was that young Tyler wanted to go for the rerun, and Jahew didn’t think it was smart to risk $11,000 already in the bag. The decision had to be made quickly and Tyler prevailed, they were straight up on the rerun, and won first for $38,000. Comment from Denny, “I started putting on ropings in 1983 and this is the first rerun situation that I ever recall on a high call.” Side note – Raymond Kerr was high call in the #13 and his heeler missed, was second high call in the #12 and his partner missed. The same thing happened to Mike Carrell in the #11 and #10.

The Fastback Ropes #11 Finale had some nice looping in it, but the short round fell apart a bit with over half the checks won with a 10 second or higher average. Steve Blain and Dwight Cessna did nothing fancy, just rock solid roping. Kudos to Kenny Lemond the only double dipper in the group.

The Bloomer Trailer #10 Finale had an interesting twist. Stacy Kropik andABecky Cannizzaro moved from 7th call to win the roping on a 7 second run. Becky caught her hand in the braided part of her tied on rope and broke her thumb on the short round steer.

Certainly the move from 7th to first was aided with two or three well placed misses inside the top five calls. The 10 and 11 second averages pretty well controlled this roping.

Side note -Randy Bloomer made the short round on a borrowed horse with another sponsor Dennis Schwalbe. They received a turn out when Randy discovered that his borrowed ride had gone home. #13 Finale Average 1. Spencer Griffith / Jacob Griffith, 32.66, $40,000; 2.

s it has been for the past twenty-six years, Memorial Weekend was Jr. Roping Roundup time at the Hardy Murphy Coliseum & Fairgrounds in Ardmore, OK. Young ropers, ranging in age from six to nineteen, came from around the U.S. to compete in what has become the place to “check out your roping skills against the nation’s top junior ropers”. The four day gettogether was blessed with beautiful weather, as 567 entries brought their friends and family to this southern Oklahoma town to rope for a share of over $57,000 in prize money plus Championship Saddles and CRX’Dother awards. The negative situation created by the EHV-1 news, caused a good number of competitors choose not to travel during this time period and resulted in less entries than would have normally been at the Roundup.

This year the Roping Roundup partnered up with Western Wishes, an award-winning program dedicated to highlighting and inspiring children and young adults, usually from a Western background, who have suffered adversity. Since 1994 Western Wishes has “rewarded the fighting spirit of these courageous kids and offers them a chance to reach for the stars and have their dreams come true.”

The Burk Family was extremely honored to have 3-year-old Kaleb Dorr, as their special guest at the Roping Roundup. He was such a wonderful blessing to everyone who got to visit with this unique little cowboy. Since Kaleb has a desire to “be a calf roper”, Blair Burk saddled up “Grumpy”, his veteran NFR calf roping horse, which is the horse that gained fame a few years back when Brent Lewis roped a calf with no bridle at the Dodge National Finals in Pocatello. Kaleb rode Grumpy around in the arena, with Blair leading him, and even backed in the roping box and scored a calf! It is so great to have the opportunity to support Western Wishes in their mission of “leaving a legacy of goodwill, the cowboy way”. Anyone interested in learning more about this great charity go to www.westernwishes.org.

As the curtain goes down on another Barry Burk Jr. Calf Roping Roundup, a big thank goes out to all the faithful sponsors who make it possible to have this event for the young ropers. Proudly we call Wrangler our title sponsor, followed closely by the Choctaw Nation, Cinderella Roping Horses, Joplin Regional Stockyards, Ardmore Tourism Authority, Sid Miller Calf Roping

This is two years in a row for Cooper Lee to be named the 12 & Under Breakaway Champion. This year he improved on his 2010 total time of 14.37 with a speedy 13.92. The young roper from Arkansas also had the fastest time of the event with a 2.50 in the 3rd round, receiving a Trophy Rope Can for that accomplishment. His two go round wins, added to his average win, let him pocket over $1,100 plus a Championship Trophy Saddle.

King Pickett and Trent Turner kept gathering go round checks, but it was Washington, TX cowboy, Raeben Meyer, who came out on top in the 12 & Under Tiedown.

For his work on a set of feisty calves, Raeben took home nearly $650 and a Championship Trophy Saddle. Iowa, LA calf roper, Zack Jongbloed, stopped the clock with an impressive 11.60 for the fast time of the roping and was presented the Fastest Time Trophy Rope Can.

Ty Harris just turned 13 years old on the day of this roping! But the San Angelo, TX roper proved he was ready to step up, as he won two go rounds and took home the Championship Trophy Saddle and $1,340.

Collinsville, OK roper, Shay Walters, turned in a speedy 2.33 in the 3rd round to win the Fastest Time Trophy Rope Can.

EVH1 – Played Havoc on Events!

T

here is little doubt rodeo competitors, ropers, barrel races and pretty much the entire equine industry met event cancelations during the early summer EVH1 scare. Many events were cancelled and many thoughts have been shared on the topic. Some say it was blown out of proportion, while others believe it the quick response from state veterinarian groups, event goers and producers keep the spread of the disease minimal. In either case, the cancelling of events played havoc on the equine industry. Money lost for producers is only the beginning and the trickle down effect can surely be felt even at feed stores who may not sell that extra bale of hay those traveling through. Perhaps the only ones benefitting are local vets who have been scrambling to the calls of many who may have shown signs of the virus or the onslaught of calls from those who now have to get a clean bill of health for their horses in order to continue to head to event today.

With the scare of EVH1 in the past, no doubt producers are scrambling to try to reschedule their events and maybe re0coop some of their lost revenue. For that reason there are many rodeos, ropings and barrel races that are rescheduled and filling up every weekend throughout the already full summer of events.

Although many of the events have already been rescheduled and hosted in June, here is a list of many of the rescheduled events for the future months as well as events that are cancelled due to conflicting dates: You can also find this listing of events on All-Around website at www.wspubs.com.

Cuttin’ Bulls

Story and Photos Compliments of Jim Olson

“Y

OWWEE!! Holy cow, I think I just cut my finger off!” Said I, looking at the end of it, hanging by a partial fingernail.

Autumn, 1988: I was a young cowboy, hungry and looking for work. The opportunity presented itself when an opening came about at a feedyard owned by Oppliger Land and Cattle Co. This was a large operation along the Texas/New Mexico border, with holdings in Nebraska as well. As a matter of fact, it was once credited with being the largest privately owned farm/ranch/feedlot combo in the states of Nebraska and New Mexico. He owned a bunch of land in Texas also, but ask any Texan who is biggest there and they will all tell you they are the biggest operator in Texas. Anyway, it was my first experience with large-scale agriculture, and the first time I heard words like “economies of scale.”

Being the new guy, only eighteen, I had to prove myself. The cow boss and the rest of the crew didn’t want to cover for some “kid.” I figured I was up for the challenge… it wasn’t my first go-round.

When you initially hire out with a large outfit like that, you are generally given jobs, which no one else wants. Once they found out I could cut bulls, I was nominated for the project.

Now at first glance, this sounds like a good job. I was pretty excited. I’d spent a lot of time branding cattle before and cutting bulls was one of the better jobs.

Boy, did I have a lot to learn.

First off, like I mentioned, efficiency was the motto here. Bulls were not cut during branding and the initial processing of cattle as they arrived at the feedlot. That would slow down the crew too much. If you are not cutting bulls, a good crew can run cattle through the hydraulic squeeze chute at the rate of several head per minute.

Generally, there were five men processing the newbies arriving from the country.

Now cutting bulls on the other hand only took a two-man crew and the process was much slower; maybe a couple head per minute or so. When you pencil it out, if there are a lot of bulls to cut, you are better off to re-run the cattle through at a different time using only two men rather than slow down five. Using this model, three men could be doing something else for that extra couple of hours.

Being the fall of the year, my employer was buying cattle to turn out on wheat pastures for the winter month’s… lots of cattle. He must have found a good deal on bulls that year, because the feedlot seemed

like it was full of them. Ears and tails stuck out of all fences it seemed. The bulls I was to cut ranged from 250 to 500 pounds, but mostly in the 400-pound range.

Like I said, I thought I’d hit the jackpot when they told me I would be cutting bulls for the next 30 days or so. I soon found out why others thought this a less than desirable job.

A typical day went like this: Arrive for work about 5:30 a.m. so you could feed, saddle your horse and be ready for work, which started at 6 a.m. sharp. Usually, the guys would sit around drinking coffee in the cowboy shack for 10 or 15 minutes, after saddling, while their horses finished breakfast. This was a good time to go over the day’s plans. Even though it was fall, it still got a little warm in the afternoon; so all bull cutting needed doing during morning hours.

At 6 a.m., you had better be in the saddle, or you were considered tardy, and given a rash of hooraying by your fellow cowboys.

For me, the day began by heading down to whatever pen of bulls was designated for cutting that day, along with my new partner, Pancho. Pancho was from Chihuahua, Mexico, as I recall and he helped me tremendously with my Border Spanish, but that’s another story. He was assigned to the castrating crew with me because he was considered low on the totem pole also.

Pancho and I would bring up the cattle, usually about 225 head in a pen, to the processing barn. Once penned in the crowding alley, Pancho kept the lead-up full of cattle while I ran the chute and changed the bull’s way of thinking, “from fighting, to feeding.”

After about an hour, I figured out why nobody else wanted this job. As a bull came into the chute, you were standing at the hydraulic controls. Once the victim was properly squeezed, you leaned over, opened the bottom kick panel on the chute and put a short rope around the nearside rear leg.

You then pulled the leg towards the back of the chute and tied the rope off, thus allowing access to your work area and also it kept the critter from kicking your head off as you started surgery. Then you either squatted down or sat on a small stool to perform the operation.

Meanwhile, Pancho would give a preventative shot of penicillin to the animal, in the muscle, on the other side of the chute. Then he would go back to run more cattle up.

Once the bull was a steer, you pulled the slip knot on the rope, got it from around the

back leg, put the kick panel back into place and freed the steer from the contraption, while opening the back gate at the same time. Pancho always had another victim waiting for its turn.

Pretty simple ‘eh? That’s what I thought until my legs felt like spaghetti and my back began to ache. Within an hour, I was very tired of standing, leaning over, squatting, standing, sitting, and then standing again… on each and every head that came through. As I mentioned before, we averaged about two head per minute.

One pen of cattle took around two hours, counting bringing them to and from their pen. We took a small break between pens. The cow boss expected us to do at least two pens each day before lunch, at 11 a.m.

After lunch, the next couple of hours were spent riding through the new steers, looking for bleeders. Most of the time, a bull that has been changed into a steer will be in a little shock, going to lie down and rest once back home. This helps stop the bleeding. There are times, however, when certain animals just keep bleeding for various reasons. These cattle need to be doctored within a couple hours, or you risk death.

If we came across a bleeder, the procedure was to take him to the nearest hospital pen where there was a chute and give him a dose of Vitamin K in the jugular vein. This and a squirt of blood stop powder on the afflicted area would stop the bleeding every time. I am proud to say that in the over 10,000 head of bulls I cut that fall, only one was lost to bleeding. That has a lot to do with technique during surgery… although some old timers claim, “it’s the signs.”

Now I am not saying I don’t believe in “the Zodiac signs.” For sure there were times of the month that cattle bled worse than others, but I do know when you have 10,000 plus head to do in under 30 days, you can’t wait on the signs to be just right.

You need to use good technique.

After bleeders were checked the next job was to go through the cattle, which had been cut day’s prior, to look for infections.

As you can imagine, a feedlot is not the cleanest place in the world for a freshly steered animal to lie down. And in spite of giving a shot of penicillin during the operation, some became infected later.

If we found any infected cattle, we took them to a hospital pen and doctored them. After that, any cattle in the hospital pen, which had been cured and looked good again, were returned to their respective pens.

Once said cowboying jobs were taken care of, if there was any time left in the day, we had to clean out drinkers. Now cleaning out drinkers is a nasty job. In a feedlot, about 200 to 250 head of snotty nosed, cud chewing cattle all use the same 15-foot by 2-foot cement water trough located on either side of the pens.

Beings how Pancho and I were low men in seniority, we often cleaned out nasty water troughs with a wire brush in the last hour or so before going home.

So that was my schedule during the first month of employment at Oppliger’s feed yard: cut bulls all morning, ride for bleeders, then infections in the afternoon and, time permitting, clean water troughs before going home at night. That’s how we did it back then, it may have changed by now.

Not a very glamorous life, being a feedlot cowboy, but it provided a meager

living. As a side benefit, my legs increased in size dramatically as I did about 1,000 squats per day at the chute!

Cowboys, being as they are, always had a lot of practical joking going on… just to live’n things up a bit. Saddle pads were hidden at night, horse were moved to far-off pens during lunch, dried cow patties were put between slices of bread and then placed in lunch boxes, on and on. Being the new kid on the outfit, a lot of pranks was pulled on yours truly, but I took it all in stride.

There was one feller, named Alan, who took particular joy in rattling my chain.

Normally if I couldn’t find my lunch box at mid-day, my pickup after work, or my horse in the morning, he had something to do with it. Also, his pet name for me was “Wuss.” Never used my real name, not even sure he knew what it was. To make things worse, he always said “Wuss” in a way that made me mad.

I figured that once I had proved a hand, though, the razzing would slow down; it didn’t… not from Alan anyway.

One day as he came through the processing barn, I was on the other side of the lead-up, trying to get a sulking bull to stand. I was using one of those big yellow hot shots… you know, the ones that look like a big cane and you charge them by plugging them into an electric socket at night. Yeah, the really big one’s that are frowned upon now-a-days!

It just so happen that it was a pretty warm day, and as he paraded through the barn, Alan had his shirt unbuttoned about half way down the front, exposing a chest, glistening with sweat beads.

Well, ‘Ol Alan jumps up on the catwalk the other side of the lead-up and says to me, “Hey Jim” (it was the first time he had ever used my proper name), “you know what?”

“What?” I replied, about half happy he had called me by name.

“I heard you are nothing more than a little Wuss!” He laughed at his supposed cleverness.

So I retorted right back, “Hey Alan, you know what?”

“What?” He sneered. I leaned in like I was going to tell him something important; he leaned in likewise.

“I heard you are afraid of electricity!”

And as I said it, with a slight flick of the wrist, I touched the end of that super snapper to the middle of his wet, exposed chest and laid down the buzzer!

Oh, boy, did he have a look of horror on his face! He tried to back away from the excruciating pain on his chest; and as he did, his feet tangled up. He fell backwards, off the catwalk, hitting his head on a bucket and almost bit his tongue off in the process!

I thought I’d killed him!

He recovered fairly quickly however, and came up seeing red. I was thankful for two things right about then: 1) there was a leadup full of cattle between him and I; and 2) I was much younger and faster than him.

I took out off the barn like my hind-end was on fire and jumped upon an alley full of bulls, running across their backs like Jesus on water.

After clearing two more alleys, I looked back and saw that Alan was going to have trouble following me. He was too old and out of shape to have a chance. Also, just then, one of the other cowboys, who was laughing his butt off, roped Alan around the upper body, trying to talk some sense into him.

As it worked out, Alan finally calmed down and quit all talk about killing me. I was finally able to return to the processing

ll-Around barn. He had one heck of a welt on his chest, a swollen tongue and a big knot on the back of his head. That got him a lot of razzing from the other cowboys. And me, well, I was now one of the gang. I had proven my self-worth. No more disrespect from the guys, I could hold my own in their eyes.

Alan and I became good friends after that… well maybe a few days later… after all; it took a few days for the welt and swelling to go away!

Eventually I got off the bull crew, joining the others as hired men a-horseback.

No more menial groundwork for me.

The next time a pen of bulls came into the yard, another newbie was nominated for the position. I did, however, get the honor of showing the new guy how to perform his bull cutting duties. The cow boss said I was one of the best “castrators” he had ever seen.

While showing the new guy “up close and personal,” I figured he could just hold the leg rope as he watched. I should have known better.

Let me tell you folks, when a 400-pound bull is protecting his manhood, always tie the leg rope to something solid.

That bull went to kicking when he felt my razor sharp knife. My new protégé let go of the rope so it wouldn’t burn his hands, and THAT is how I almost cut the end of my finger off!

It dangled precariously for a few days, but eventually it stuck and healed. To this day, however, when I am at aA branding, I’d just a soon let someone else cut bulls.

THE FIRST 5 STRAND CALF ROPE WITH A CORE What happens when five strands of low stretch poly fibers are woven around a solid braided core? You get a rope with speed and snap as quick as a viper’s strike, but with more consistency and less stretch than any calf rope on the market today.

With the feel of your favorite polygrass and the strength and stability that only Coretech can give,you won’t break this rope. And like a viper, its the same every time…

Deadly accurate.

about raising lots of money for the American Heart Association. We cannot thank everyone enough for all of the donations, time, and hard work that was put into last year! Our contributions exceeded what we expected for our first year and are sure this year will be even better.

Rope for the Heart is a not-for-profit organization started in memory of Herbie Honne, and all who have passed because of heart complications. It is a wonderful event for friends and family to come together and enjoy the weekend while raising money to fight the number one killer of our families. In the United States, 12 million people suffer from coronary heart disease. Heart attacks happen to 7 million people. 35% of people with high blood pressure are not aware of it. Surprisingly, every 29 seconds, a person suffers from some type of coronary occurrence. 50% of heart attack victims wait for two hours before requesting help. The result, a quarter of million people die annually before they reach a hospital.

The website will be updated shortly (www.ropefortheheart.intuitwebsites.com.) We invite you to send names of family members or friends you have lost to conditions of the heart to wbreno4@juno.com . We will post their name on our In Memory page.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! If anyone is interested in helping with the following please contact us at the above email.

– Someone to manage the website by updating changes and adding names to the In Memory page.

– Someone interested in organizing a raffle to help raise money. Last year we raffled a saddle.

– Someone who can send out dinner and dance tickets as they are purchased & keep a running # for the caterer.

– Individuals who would like to collect or donate silent auction items.

– Anyone interested in being a sponsor to increase our donation to the American Heart Association. Thank you all for your time and help! We are really excited to see the growth this year. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact us anytime.

— See you all soon, Mando Honne & Family, Wesley Reno & Family

Jr. Rodeos in New Mexico

he place many of today’s top rodeo hand started their careers at Jr. rodeos. Some of the best in the world began at gymkhana events, small, backyard rodeos and many of the countries organized youth rodeo programs.

No doubt, these events hold special memories in the minds of many current and past world champions, as well as many others who have traveled the rodeo trail.

The Southwest is packed full of these events. From the Sanctioned, Jr. High School, which is a spin off from the High School Rodeo Association, to the organized Jr. Rodeo events and many other series events and oneday shows, today’s young rodeo talent have plenty of choices. Look in any rodeo publication and you will find pages filled with upcoming events for youth competitors.

With a tough economy, rising fuel prices and the everyday long hours of work for many of the parent of these rodeo kids, it is often a tough decision to pick and choose the events to attend with their kids. Perhaps, it is even a bigger challenge for the people behind the production of these events to attract contestants, as well as pick dates that do not conflict with other rodeo events.

Taking a look at many of today’s successful Jr. rodeos you can see it is an evolving and always changing program for these producers.

Cheaper fees, more prizes and sponsors are always at the top of the planning stages and the hard work of many of these individuals often get overlooked when it is time for the event to begin.

It is the heart of rodeo time and taking a look at many of the events that have been held and those in the rodeo schedule, you can see that there is not a whole lot of room for error.

The Bosque Farms Junior Rodeo Association made a big impact at their series last year with a huge turnout of contestants, a well produced event and a great prize payout at the end of the series. Plans for this year are already underway with a big change in the dates of the event. Instead of beginning in October and running through the dead of winter, as well as the holiday season, the BFJRA is pushing there series back a few months. Their first

weekend of events will begin on September 16-18, their second weekend will be hosted on October 28-30 and wrap things up on their finals weekend on November 18-20. This should keep the contestants out of the coldest part of the winter months.

Another series, the Cibola County Gymkhana Rodeo held in Grants, New Mexico has seen an increase in contestants this year. Their Spring series no doubt opened up the season for many of today’s youth to participate in. With the recent EVH1 scare, the series had to reschedule their May event for the end of June and the dedicated members of this series board has went above and beyond expectations allowing the contestants different options to participate and finish the series during their final weekend. In addition, this event is already planning a fall series that will be hosted one weekend a month for August, September and October.

Other events that have shown continued support for New Mexico rodeo kids includes the Estancia Valley Rodeo Association that hosts a series of events throughout the summer months in Moriarty, New Mexico, the Mountainair Gymkhana Rodeo series which began in March and will run throughout the summer and wrap up in August. Additionally, San Juan County Jr. Rodeo series hosts events throughout the summer in Farmington, NM and the Little Britches Rodeo association has hosted one event in Moriarty already this year and has anther one scheduled for August.

The Smoke’n Spurs rodeo Series in Artesia continues to make big noise with trailers awarded to series winners. Although the EVH1 Virus outbreak also tore into the series final weekend, the rescheduled event wrapped up with two winners walking away with brand new horse trailers and many others packing home saddles, buckles and whole load of great prizes.

The big changes hitting the Jr. Rodeo scene are in the New Mexico Jr. Rodeo Association.

With thoughts about the multiple Jr. events scattered across the state, as well as the hard economic times for New Mexico residents, the NMJRA has revamped their season to help better accommodate rodeo families. To begin,

It’s Rodeo Time!

C

owboy Christmas - 4th of July – Great Hot Summer Rodeos! It is time for rodeo competitors all across the Southwest to load up and hit the pavement! July brings about a whole load of great rodeo events all across the country and nowhere better is the great Southwest. Rodeos of all sorts will be hosted during the long Fourth of July weekend. For cowboys and cowgirls, young, older and everywhere in between, it is a time of year to celebrate – Rodeo style!

To begin, we will dive into the NMRA and a host of events they are sanctioning this year. Of course the big, once a year event, Red Ryder Roundup in Pagosa Springs, CO falls under the NMRA Sanctions. No doubt every competitor who has ever climbed over the bucking chutes, backed into the box or come out racing for their dreams has been or is looking forward to this rodeo. GCPRA cowboys can also enjoy this event as the association is once again co-sanctioning the Red Ryder Roundup helping make it one of the biggest of the year. You can also find PAFRA (Professional Armed Forces Rodeo Association) to join in the Pagosa Springs celebration event.

In addition, the NMRA is also hosting an event in Cuba, New Mexico at the Cuba 4th of July Celebration. This too has become a staple event for competitors who want to make a full rodeo weekend. This rodeo is also co-sanctioned by PAFRA. The AIRCA and all of this associations dedicated members will be heading to Chinle, Arizona for the Black Mesa Rodeo which is hosted by the CNRA (Central Navajo Rodeo Association).

Outside of the amateur associations, there are a host of open rodeos that rodeo hands can take part in. These include two great events in New Mexico that has always been competitor favorites. These are the Mescalero Apache Indian Ceremonial and Rodeo celebration in Mescalero, New Mexico and the 56th Annual Smokey Bear Stampede held in nearby Capitan, New Mexico. Cowboys and cowgirls can take advantage of both these events throughout the long rodeo weekend with only a short drive between the two.

Talk about great annual 4th of July events, the 57th Annual Taylor’s Night rodeo will be held over the weekend in Taylor,

they are making events more inexpensive by lowering the fees and stock chargers in all of the timed events. In addition, they are taking the daily administrative fees down.

As for the formats, the NMJRA is opening up a 6 and under division, offering 5 events for these young competitors and allowing all contestants to only count 5 events towards their season points. These events must be designated at the first rodeo and may not be switched throughout the season, however, contestants may enter as many of the events they want in their age group. Additionally, rough stock will also be included in the allaround points this season. Finally, there must be a total of 3 boys and 3 girls in each age group in order for there to be a boys and girls All-Around saddle awarded at the end of the season. If not, there will be a buckle awarded in its place.

Moving on, there are several new board members on board to help make the association one of the best in the country, including, Danny Orris, Toney Sanchez, Cody McDougal and Ed Galbaldon. These members are dedicated rodeo parents that want to help make the NMJRA a great association.

The NMJRA has events scheduled for July 23-24 and August 20-12 in Bosque Farms, New Mexico. The season finals will be held in Belen, NM on September 3-5. In addition, the NMJRA is hosting sort of lead into the season with a NMJRA Timed Event Jackpot that will be held on Saturday July 9, 2011. Although this event will not count towards season point is will include breakaway roping, step down roping, tie-down roping, parent/child team roping, adult team roping, goat tying and barrel racing in many different age groups.

Additionally, there will be a jackpot team roping held Friday, July 8 leading up to this event. NMJRA president, John English is the contact person for this event and can be contacted at 505-239-7617 For New Mexico Jr. Rodeo contestants there are a whole lot of choices to choose from. These events scattered across the state make it easy for competitors to pick one that is convenient and fun. From gymkhana style events to solid reputable association, there is something for everyone. So Jr. rodeo cowboys and cowgirls, Go make a summer out of it!

Arizona. In addition, the 87th Annual Wild West Days Rodeo will host a full weekend of events in Grants, New Mexico. In addition to a full open rodeo, there will be a team roping event, an NBHS barrel race, an 18 and under Junior rough stock events as well as a 18 and under Junior timed event.

Arizona residents can attend the Round Valley Rodeo held in Springerville / Eager, Arizona for a complete open rodeo event, and New Mexico cowboys can head to the cool pines of Cimarron, New Mexico to take part in the 89th Annual Maverick Club Rodeo for another great event.

To wrap things up, the Estancia Valley Rodeo Association will host an all-kids event at the Heritage Arena in Moriarty, NM. There will be events hosted for every age group of contestants.

For those who just can’t get enough rodeo throughout the weekend, the Lucy 7 Rodeo Co. will host an event on July 5 in Durango, Colorado. This event falls right in the middle of the Wild West Weekly Summer Series that competitors have taken advantage of throughout the summer.

So summer is here and the 4th of July rodeo events are finally upon us! Take advantage of all of these great events and make a great weekend of rodeo out of it!

Roughstock Event Invades Grants

B

ull riders, bronc riders and bareback contestants headed to the great Cibola County arena in Grants, New Mexico on June 11 for a great event hosted by New Mexico’s stock contractor Casper Baca and the Baca Rodeo Company. Some of the top rodeo talent in the Southwest gave the local residents a great show with lots of high flying and top-notch rough stock action.

From New Mexico’s leading bareback rider, Forrie Smith who came from his hometown of Capitan, NM who dominated the bonejarring bareback riding to Jeb Loney who hails out of Tularosa New Mexico and took home the top prize money in the saddle bronc riding, the high marks were plentiful and the action was hot!

Several Arizona talent was among the winners including John Killian who won second place in the bareback riding, as well as Kain Kee who took home second in the saddle bronc riding.

The event also hosted some of the best bull riders in both the Novice and Open bull riding events. Ty Toadlena, a future up and coming superstar out of Farmington, NM took the win the Novice bull riding. The Open bull riding also closed out with a bang as fellow Farmington, New Mexico bull

rider, Guyten Tsosie scored high and pocketed the big first place paycheck.

The Baca Rodeo Company has always been a great stock contracting company and has hosted thousands of events throughout the Southwest. This event chalks up another one. You can catch an event like this coming your way soon as Casper Baca and his crew has a long list of events scheduled throughout the rest of the year.

Don’t miss out!

t looks as though the EVH1 scare last month is in the past. Events have been limited over the past month and events streaming across the wires in late June proved just that.

The Gallup’s Lions Club 63rd Annual Rodeo was a hit this year with close to 530 contestants. Always a favorite event for rodeo contestants, this year’s event was truly exciting and greatly anticipated by many, especially those in the bull riding with $9,000 waiting for the winner of the winner-take-all bonus round. It has been several years since anyone won the bonus round, allowing the money to accumulate to this ultimate payout-prize.

Local favorite and professional bull rider, Spud Jones showed why his abilities have taken him to the top of the game. Jones was one of two bull riders to cover his bonus round bull, outscoring Lane Grangers 84-point score in the round to win the big money. Jones’s 86-points on one of Bucking H Rodeo Company’s top bulls earned him the big payday.

Benny Begay earned the $1,500 bonus round money in the bareback riding and Brandon Biebelle took home the $3,000 bonus round money in the saddle bronc riding of which $1,500 was carried over from last year’s event.

Congratulations to these winners, as well as all of the winners at this great annual event.

The dirt of the event comes from an incident that delayed the rodeo. One of the rodeo officials was taken out of action after being knocked out by a bucking horse. In addition, pick-up man, Marty Carasco loss the tip of his finger

On-Site Printing MONTH-FEB 2011 BUILT BY-DP IN HOUSE PROOF smithrodeophotos@frontiernet.net 1\4 V (4.9 x 6.6)

and mangled several others while roping a bucking. Tough as can be, Carasco finished the event, only then being seen by the local ambulance service. We wish Carasco the best recovery, and know that we will see him soon at future events.

Team roping seems to be hitting stride in the Land of Enchantment as well. Although the USTRC Red Rock Classic witnessed a drop off in team count from previous years, probably the biggest cause was the virus scare last month. However, the much anticipated re-scheduled Rope at the Hard Rock event proved ropers are tired of sitting home, making this a great event. More than $20,000 in cash and over 800 teams made for a great weekend of team roping.

Ropers proved they not only didn’t mind but enjoyed the portable makeshift arena located at the Isleta Lakes area near the casino just south of Albuquerque. Hopefully, this event caused enough stir that maybe one day the casino will invest in a permanent facility for ropers and rodeo contestants to enjoy.

That is pretty much the ‘dirt’ at a few recent events. Really, not much ‘dirt’ at all this month, and a little bit on the lighter side of things to kick off the summer event schedule. From everyone here at The All-Around, we hope everyone, from Jr. rodeo kids to ropers, racers and rodeo contestants has a great summer, filled with great events and competition.

Until next time – ‘Dirt’ – Keep it under your feet!

PRCA Veterinarian of the Year Award presented by Purina, in nomination process The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association is pleased to announce that nomination information is available for the 2nd Annual PRCA Veterinarian of the Year Award presented by Purina. The recipient will be honored during the 53rd Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, Dec. 1-10 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. The award will go to a veterinarian who exemplifies extraordinary dedication and commitment to the well being of professional rodeo livestock.

“2010 was the first year of this award and we were thrilled with the quality of the nominees and congratulate Dr. William Anderson, the Fort Worth Stock Show Veterinarian for his accomplishments,” said ProRodeo Hall of Famer and Chairman of the PRCA’s Animal Welfare Committee, Doug Corey, DVM. “We are pleased to be able to recognize the hard work of the hundreds of veterinarians who are on-site at PRCA rodeos and who care for livestock in their communities.”

“The PRCA is excited that Purina has agreed to continue support of this award for the second year,” said Cindy Schonholtz, PRCA Director of Industry Outreach.

“Purina’s 115-year passionate commitment to caring for animals makes them the perfect fit for this award.”

The award-winning PRCA Livestock Welfare Department is involved in outreach and education, along with implementing rules for the proper care and treatment of livestock.

“Purina greatly appreciates the individuals who dedicate their lives to the care and well-being of animals,” said Brant Gilbert, Purina Director of Horse Business. “We welcome the opportunity to sponsor this award and acknowledge the PRCA for their ongoing commitment to the care and well-being of all animals involved in professional rodeo.”

Individual PRCA members and PRCA rodeo committees can nominate veterinarians they feel meet the award’s criteria. Deadline for nominations is Sept.

1. Nomination information is available on www.prorodeo.com or by contacting Cindy Schonholtz at 719-440-7255 or animalwelfare@prorodeo.com.

Brazile Ahead of World Record Earnings Pace There’s no stopping the man Two all-around titles and three big weekend checks lifted Trevor Brazile’s season earnings to $118,211, nearly $10,000 ahead of the pace he was on last year when he broke his own single-season earnings record.

Brazile won the tie-down roping in 7.6

seconds and the all-around at the Treaty Day Celebration & PRCA Rodeo in Window Rock, Ariz., as well as the allaround at the Pioneer Days Rodeo in Clovis, N.M. He also earned nearly $2,000 in the steer roping at the Wild, Wild West Rodeo in Silver City, N.M. It all added up to earning $8,092 for the June 2-5 weekend. Brazile leads the world standings in the all-around and steer roping; he is second among team roping headers and fifth in the tie-down roping.

The nearest challenger to Brazile in the all-around is bull riding world standings leader Shane Proctor of Grand Coulee, Wash. He finished second in the saddle bronc riding in Fort Smith, Ark., and Conway, Ark., to qualify for the all-around for the first time, coming in with earnings of $46,123 (not counting Xtreme Bulls money).

The letters will be reviewed by an external selection committee, and the five finalists will be voted on by participating contract personnel members. The winner of the lifetime achievement award will be recognized at the PRCA Convention and Awards banquet in Las Vegas prior to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. The winner will also receive a Montana Silversmiths bronze.

For more information, contact Brandy Sorenson or Amy Rodgers at the PRCA National Headquarters, 719.593.8840.

The Pioneer Days Rodeo in Clovis, New Mexico was really more of a World Champions Day. Apart from 14-time World Champion Brazile’s win in the all-around, there were also wins there by seven-time World Champion Team Roper Jake Barnes (with Anthony Calmelat), 2009 World Champion Saddle Bronc Rider Jesse Kruse and 2004 World Champion TieDown Roper Monty Lewis.

Rodeo Clown Galore The Rodeo Clown Reunion is scheduled for June 22-25 as part of the Rodeo de Santa Fe (N.M.)

PRCA creates Contract Personnel Lifetime Achievement Award The PRCA is making plans to honor a contract personnel member with a new award in 2011.

The Contract Personnel Lifetime Achievement Award will recognize those contract personnel members who have committed their lives to the rodeo industry, and have received little or no recognition for their commitment, work and contributions. Any PRCA member may nominate eligible contract personnel members for the award.

Nominees must have been PRCA members for a minimum of 15 years, and may not have won a yearly contract personnel award (announcer, bullfighter, clown, Coors Man in the Can, secretary, specialty act, stock contractor) within 15 years of the date of nomination.

Nomination letters of 500 words or less can be mailed to PRCA, 101 ProRodeo Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80918 or emailed to bsorenson@prorodeo.com or arodgers@prorodeo.com between now and Aug. 1.

Tragedy struck the Walker family of Ennis, Texas, again June 10, when Mary Walker, the mother of Reagon Walker, the PRCA cowboy who was killed in a road accident last month, was seriously injured in a barrel racing mishap at Crosby, Texas. As she was rounding the last barrel, Walker’s horse slipped and landed on her, breaking her hip in three places. She was taken to Houston, where she underwent surgery June 11. Her husband, 1981 World Champion Steer Wrestler Byron Walker, has joined her there

Executive VP of Sales & Partnership has 20 years of experience The Professional Bull Riders announced that they have hired Terry Bassett as Executive Vice President of Sales & Partnerships. Bassett, who will report directly to CEO Jim Haworth, comes to the PBR after serving as CEO/Partner at Genesis Advantage, LLC in Huntersville, N.C. “We are proud to welcome Terry to the PBR,” said Haworth. “He brings a proven track record of providing entrepreneurial zeal and passion in leading change for revenue-driven initiatives. He possesses strong leadership skills and has produced outstanding results for goal-oriented companies.”

Bassett will be responsible for identifying new business opportunities and developing the PBR’s sales and partnership infrastructure.

“I’m thrilled to be working at the PBR. With so many longstanding, loyal sponsors, it’s clear to me that the PBR’s relationships with its partners are healthy and mutually beneficial,” said Bassett. “I look forward to growing those relationships further.”

PBR, partners collect $20,000 for Red Cross Ford, Stanley Tools, Troy-Bilt, Blue-Emu donate to disaster relief efforts The Professional Bull Riders and Ford Trucks announced that they have combined with Blue-Emu, Stanley Tools,

and Troy-Bilt to collect more than $20,000 for the American Red Cross disaster relief efforts for those affected by the recent devastating storms, floods and tornadoes.

“The PBR is very lucky to have such tremendous partners, who are so willing to participate in such a worthy cause,” said PBR Chief Executive Officer Jim Haworth. “We put out a call to action and received a tremendous response.”

The weekly installment of the “Built Ford Tough Invasion” had PBR riders Luke Snyder and Colby Yates using the Ford F-150 with EcoBoost™ Engine to deliver supplies to Spalding County, located about 50 miles south of Atlanta.

Cooper Tires assisted in the efforts, while Stanley Tools donated Stanley Bostitch Cordless Nailers, and Blue-Emu provided travel packs. The episode will air during Sunday’s broadcast at 11 p.m. ET on VERSUS, and there will also be a director’s cut expanded version available at www.InvasionOfTheBulls.com. The PBR is televised in HD each week on VERSUS with select events being available on NBC and CBS. The PBR Built Ford Tough Series is in Duluth, Ga., on Friday and Saturday for the Lucas Oil Invitational presented by Cooper Tires. The event will feature the Top 40 bull riders in the world competing for $131,000 on the fiercest bucking bulls.

During intermission on Saturday, NFL All-Pro wide receiver Chad Ochocinco will attempt to ride Deja Blu in an exhibition ride. If Ochocinco rides the bull for 8 seconds, the PBR and Ford will present him with a brand-new Ford F-150 with EcoBoost™ Engine.

The PBR would like to ask our great fans to take this opportunity to donate as well. If you are interested in providing assistance to those affected by the storms, please visit www.AmericanRedCross.com , telephone (800) RED-CROSS, or text REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

ll-Around

C T A R R PO RE

This years Arizona State Finals on April 13, 2011, was the first ever held in a 5D format as well as in the fine facility known as Mohave Crossing and Event Center in Fort Mohave, Arizona. District AZ01 was the host district for this years finals. At big thank you to all the people who helped put on this great race. State Directors who put on their working gloves were Sharie Brock (AZ01), Jan Finney (AZ02), Janie Henson (AZ04), Michelle Haralson (AZ06) and Lila Pierce (AZ07). Thanks to our arena helpers who we couldn’t do this without you. . . Crystal Poteet (announcer/office); Pete, Ellen and Madison (the famous Hunt family) as the best barrel and gate crew in the West; April Jenson, Katie Finney, Riley Blunk and Ali Laureanti (office gals) and MOM to Crystal and April.

Lynell LaRue (Flash That Bling), Lori Newberry (purses, jewelry, hats and fun stuff), Action Plus Digital Photography, Melanie Edwards (Circle M Custom Hides), Sue O’Brien (L’Bri Facial products), Carrie Jankee (Animal Krackers), Mark Allen Equine Services (dentistry) were the vendors who made the trip and provided shopping for the Arizona State Finals. Thank you vendors!

Because the Arizona NBHA State Finals was restricted solely to current Arizona NBHA members, State Director Jan Finney, also offered an “Open to the World” NBHA 5D race which ran after the Senior class on Saturday and Sunday. So, for those we weren’t members and came with a friend who was, there was still a race and chance for the nonmembers to get a check.

AZ02 dominated the saddle winners but host district AZ01 member, Julie Morrison, took home the 1D prize, 2D Kayla Karstetter, 3D Stacey Anderson, 4D Tracy Ludington and 5D Licia (Paige) Judy all AZ02. Breezey Weber won the Youth Target Saddle with a two run spread of .055 and Melanie Edwards was the Senior Target winner of NBHA Silver Concho with her two run compilation being only .010. The top seven Seniors were all less than one-tenth of a second on their Target times. Congratulations girls, you did awesome!

Be sure to keep your eyes and ears open for upcoming NBHA events in Arizona. All the districts are going strong and adding new members at every race. To find out more information, please visit the NBHA Arizona website at www.nbhaaz02.com. Also, look for entry forms in barrel racing publications and on the Internet.

I also reached for the pepper to season my soup but it tasted like the library paste we used to eat in kindergarten. My wife informed me later that I had in fact seasoned my soup with the goldfish food.

You’d be surprised at how not being able to see your food changes its taste. And so we began the game of me guessing what food I was eating. My wife’s salad tasted like sweet and sour pancakes and the dinner rolls like Fig Newtons®. I got my recommended daily dose of fiber by accidentally eating part of my placemat. (Not that bad, really.) Strangely, few of the foods tasted like any of the four food groups I was used to: fat, grease, starch and sugar.

When my wife served the main course I guessed that it was either corn on the cob, ribs still wrapped in Saran Wrap, Velveeta cheese in a delicate root beer gravy, fish sticks, (which I haven’t eaten since the third grade) or hamburger my wife forgot to defrost.

My wife hinted, “It’s something we eat all the time.”

“Leftovers?” I guessed. Incorrectly as it turns out. I finally got it right when the smoke alarm went off. “Either the house is burning down or you burned the roast again.”

In summary, I don’t think that dining in the dark will catch on in this country and I’d suggest that you NOT try this at home if your marriage is already a little shaky to begin with, or your Doctor has told you to watch what you eat. wwwLeePittsbooks.com

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.

B. J. Pierce - Cowboy Community Asset

O

ur search for a person who can inspire us to greater achievement in our chosen endeavors often ends close by B.J. Pierce or just down the road.

Meet such a person – B. J. Pierce. He won’t tell his age, but some quick calculations say he’s past the 70s. He doesn’t look it, and he surely doesn’t act it.

B.J. began a professional rodeo career in the 1940s. He was a roper, mostly tie-down calf roping. He won almost every major rodeo in the nation, competing in the International Professional Rodeo Association early, winning the calf roping title in 1952, ’53 and ’55.

“That championship was at Omaha,” he says. “I was presented a silver-mounted saddle. It was a big deal. I still ride that saddle.”

He says, “After that I went to the RCA (now PRCA, Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association).”

He and Pat Rawls were married in the 1940s. “I rodeoed to get money for more education,” he says. “The first year I won enough money to pay our way through four years of college.” He ended up with a master’s degree in elementary education while Pat’s degree was in journalism. She wrote articles for Western magazines.

There are many stories about rodeo cowboys in the 1950s who had airplanes and flew from one show to the next.

That was the roughstock riders. A roper needed to haul his good horse, so flying

wasn’t an option.

B.J. says his best rope horse was named Iodine, sired by high-powered stallion Billy Clegg. “I hauled him 18 years, and he knew me as well as I knew him. He knew exactly when I was gonna throw [the rope).] We might be traveling two or three months, but somehow he knew when we were nearly home, and he’d try to help us go faster.”

B.J. shares a bit of the “glamour” of rodeoing in the 1940s and 1950s “Sometimes you’d drive all night. In those days everybody camped outside or in tents or whatever. We just had sleeping bags at first, and bathed in a stream – or a horse tank. No hot water. I built a camper for the back of our pickup, and we had a Coleman stove and an ice box. No air conditioning, so we parked in the shade.”

Patti passed away, and years later B.J. married Sue Pickle. She passed away about two years ago.

For many years after B.J. retired from rodeo he taught 6th grade in Clovis, N.M. His former students still come by and visit with him, a huge testament to his inspirational teaching philosophy.

Although he no longer competes, he’s a longtime member of the Curry County Mounted Patrol, which sponsors the Clovis, N.M. Pioneer Days Rodeo each year in early June. This year he was helping out, as usual.

Fellow Mounted Patrol member Carl Hahn is one of B.J.’s many fans. He says, “B.J. is a valuable asset to the group and to the community.”

Carl can get a big “amen” to that from everyone who knows B.J.
