Drought now affects 125,072,489 people, compared with 127,566,043 the previous week. For all 50 U.S. states and Puerto Rico, 41.97% of the area is in mod erate drought or worse, com pared with 43.16% the pre vious week. Drought now affects 127,345,077 people, compared with 130,756,526 the previous week.

“Summers are quite busy here and in the fall, we’ll be having more livestock projects,” he added. SAREC’s mission is to serve the citizens of Wyo ming, the region and nation by facilitating innovative dis covery, dissemination and dialogue of integrated agricul tural systems that are ecologically sound, economically viable and socially acceptable, reads the UW webpage. “A part of the land grant mission is to not only con duct the research, but make it applicable and extend the information out to the public,” said Paisley. “A big part of our land grant mission is to be visible to the community and hopefully build the relationship with local producers – if they have any questions, hopefully they can come to us so we can research some of the issues they have.”

Supplementing Wilke says many pro ducers have moved to later spring calving in April or May, but May calving cows are currently under a lot of pressure and demand to lac tate and cycle. “If a cow is on poor qual ity pasture, she could be in a declining plane of nutri tion which could cause her to stop cycling and have a pretty bad impact on open rates this fall,” Wilke says. As producers begin to run out of quality pasture, they need to come up with alternative ways to feed their herd. They can utilize Con servation Reserve Program

The week of Aug. 14-20 is a very important one for Wyoming. We have the primary election on Aug. 16, followed by the Wyoming State Fair and Rodeo (WSF) the rest of the week. While the upcoming primary elec tion may resemble a general election in some races, it goes to show just how important it is. As more people in Washington D.C. try to push America into socialism, our rural way of life, especially in the West, is atWe’rerisk. taught being able to vote is a right, I think it is also a privilege we shouldn’t take for granted. The people of Ukraine realize the importance of voting and are fighting for their lives to keep this right. We’re lucky to have never had a major war with another country on American soil, and I hope we never do. Remem ber, not voting will make America weak. If you haven’t already voted, you need to vote. Another privilege we have is being able to go to the WSF in Douglas Aug. 15-20. After a year’s planning, the staff, WSF General Manager Courtny Conkle and the WSF Board have a great fair and rodeo planned. The Youth Horse Show is on Monday, Aug. 15, fol lowed by the reining, working cow horse, roping and sort ing events in the Stotz Arena and barrel racing, pole bend ing and goat tying in the Yellow Arena on Tuesday, Aug. 16. Wednesday, Aug. 17 starts with Single Steer Roping early and the beef, goat and sheep show rings start to get busy. The Wyoming Junior Angus Association will host a Junior Angus Show at 9 a.m. The Wyoming Agriculture Hall of Fame Picnic starts at 5 p.m. at Riverside Park. This year, the Roundup will be honoring Pat and Sharon O’Toole from Savery and the late Scott Keith from Casper and Gillette. The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association rodeo will start at 7 p.m. On Thursday, Aug. 18, the show rings will be busy with sheep, goats, pigs, the Hereford cattle show, the Angus cat tle show and the Supreme Champion Beef and Bull and Female Selection. The Wyoming Pioneer Association will hold their meeting at 10 a.m., followed by their lunch. Friday, Aug. 19 will be another busy day at the show rings with FFA Beef Showmanship, the calf show and the Commercial Heifer Show. Saturday, Aug. 20 is a full day in the show rings, with cattle, goats and sheep. The 4-H and FFA youth will be busy all day.These youth shows may not mean as much to some fair participants who don’t realize the importance of 4-H and FFA youth and their programs. Many of these youth are business people with their own herds of cattle, sheep, pigs and other animals. They have their futures mapped out and, with their work ethic, will achieve much in life. This is the real fun part of the fair, watching these youth grow up with the support of their families and neighbors. Take the time to be a part of the fair, there is something for everybody. Save some time to visit the Roundup Tent across from the Beef Show Ring, visit the 23 booths and grab a free cold bottle of water. See you there.

From DennisPublishertheSun GUEST OPINIONSAn Important Week USDA Rural Development Helps Small-town Wyoming Thrive By Glenn Pauley Glenn Pauley

For businesses, Rural Develop ment does not make direct loans. Instead, we can issue 80 percent loan guarantees to commercial banks. Business borrowers must have ade quate repayment ability, equity and collateral. Various grant programs are also available for rural small businesses.Affordable housing is a major issue throughout Wyoming. Rural Development’s Single Family Hous ing Program direct loan interest rate, when modified by payment assis tance, can be as low as one percent. Direct loan terms can be for as long as 33 years to 38 years, and can cover most homes on a permitted and per manent foundation including manu factured homes and tiny houses. Borrowers must have decent credit and a stable income. This is a great program providing a path to home ownership for low- and very-low fam ilies, or individuals including teach ers, police officers, municipal work ers and nurses who form the founda tion of our communities. The bottom line is, Rural Devel opment wants to see small-town Wyo ming thrive. Just like other types of financial assistance, a considerable amount of information must be sub mitted for the application. The Rural Development application process provides access to experts in project development and financial planning. This enables the borrower to estab lish short-term and long-term strate gies to address even the most daunting community challenges. The process is free and Rural Development employ ees assisting with loan applications typically have an in-depth under standing of other funding sources at the local, state and federal level. For project recommendations, contact USDA Rural Development at 307-233-6700. There may be a Rural Development program with grant dol lars available, but do not overlook the loans which are a proven, cost-effec tive method for advancing rural pros perity. USDA Rural Development pro gram information can be found at rd.usda.gov/wyGlennPauley is the Wyoming state director for USDA Rural Development.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development has many programs supporting rural Wyoming prosperity. These programs include: single-family and multi-family hous ing; infrastructure; community facil ities including hospitals, senior cen ters and fire stations; business diversi fication; business planning; renewable energy; high speed internet and much more. Currently, Rural Development oversees nearly 70 programs provid ing resources and funding for projects in ruralRuralareas.Development programs range in population eligibility. The programs cannot be used in Cheyenne or Casper, but we are able to support projects in most rural towns through out the state. You may have heard about the recent work in helping to bring hospitals to Saratoga, Pinedale and RuralRiverton.Development provides finan cial assistance through both grants and loans; however, we are primarily a lender. When I first started my position as the Wyoming state director, I was disappointed to learn more grant dol lars were not available. However, since then, I have developed a greater appre ciation for how loans can be advan tageous for rural families, businesses and communities, as well as taxpayers. There are several Rural Develop ment programs available to agricul tural producers. The Value-Added Pro ducer Grant program supports agricul tural producers entering into activities to generate new products, create and expand marketing opportunities and increase producer income. For exam ple, grant dollars may be spent for pro cessing costs, marketing and adver tising and some inventory and salary expenses.TheRural Energy for America Pro gram provides guaranteed loan financing and grant funding to agricultural produc ers and rural small businesses for renew able energy systems or to make energy efficiency improvements. There are also programs available for farm labor hous ing and meat processing. USDA Rural Development has a very thorough underwriting pro cess. This ensures borrowers have the capacity to repay loans and projects are modest in size, scope and design. Wyoming Rural Development has very low loan default rates in all pro grams. The focus on “modest” maxi mizes the efficient use of project dol lars and directs spending to support ing true Largerneeds.community projects are often funded through a combination of grants and loans. This is particu larly true for those addressing human health and safety issues such as Rural Development’s Water and Environ mentalThePrograms.proportion of grant versus loan funding is determined by what the community can afford. Economi cally-challenged communities receive a higher proportion of grant dollars, while loan amounts may be set to be within the community’s ability to pay. The combination of grants and loans allows communities to take on larger projects than otherwise would be pos sible without federal funding.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is invest ing up to $12 million in partnerships expanding access to conservation technical assistance for livestock producers and increasing the use of conservation practices on grazing lands. USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is accepting proposals through its Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative (GLCI) until Sept. 22. “Privately owned grazing lands cover nearly 30 percent of the national landscape, which means we have a tremen dous opportunity to address climate change and conserve natural resources through voluntary, private lands conser vation,” said NRCS Chief Terry Cosby. “NRCS enlists a wide variety of conservation practices to help livestock producers. These partnerships will also help us expand the footprint of conservation on grazing lands and could help better reach historically underserved producers.”

Project proposals for GLCI Cooperative Agreements will identify and address barriers to accessing grazing assistance for producers. These partnerships are encour aged to include outreach and support for reaching histori cally underserved producers. Projects must address one or more of the following pri orities: local natural resource concerns; use climate-smart agriculture and forestry practices and principles; encourage existing and new partnerships through emphasizing equity in advancing the resource needs of underserved commu nities; and identify and implement strategies to quantify, monitor, report on and verify conservation benefits associ ated with grazing management systems.

NASS will mail the questionnaires in August to all producers selected for the survey. To ensure all survey participants have an opportunity to respond, NASS inter viewers will contact producers who do not respond by mail or online to conduct a telephone interview. As with all NASS surveys, the results of this sur vey will be available in aggregate form only, ensuring no individual operation or producer can be identified.

Inflation data reported Data released Aug. 10 showed inflation in July was about unchanged from the previous month, but still 8.5 percent higher than a year ago. Equity markets jumped on the headline number because equities remain singularly focused on what the Federal Reserve will do. If inflation starts to slow down, then odds of big rate increases also decline. However, inflation in July was unchanged mostly because of lower fuel prices. Gasoline was down 7.7 percent and field oil was down 11 percent. The decline in fuel costs helped off set increases in food, medical services, electricity and new cars. By far the biggest increases were in food and food infla tion at grocery stores led the pack. Food at home inflation in July was 1.3 percent higher than the previous month and 13 percent higher than the previ ous year. Price inflation for food consumed away from home increased at a slower pace, up 0.7 percent from the previous month and 7.6 percent higher than a year ago.

WGFD establishes walk-in area Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD), in coop eration with several private landowners, has established a new walk-in hunting and fishing area, Sweetwater Number Three, along the Green River. The Sweetwater Number Three walk-in area will allow access throughout the calendar year for fishing and hunting in compliance with WGFD regulations for dates and methods. In order to keep these areas open, hunters and anglers should respect the landowner, follow the walk-in area rules and avoid trespass on adjoining private lands. Hunters or anglers are not required to seek permission from the landowner directly as long as they are hunting or fishing for approved species during the accessGreenperiod.River Game Warden Justin Dodd said, “While this walk-in area may be limiting camping opportunities people have enjoyed in the past, it is a way to work with the private landown ers and protect access for hunting and fishing around the Green River for years to come.” information can be found at wgfd.wyo.gov

Carbon County resi dent, pioneer rancher, cat tleman and outfitter Charles “Chuck” A. Sanger, 84, passed away on Aug. 4. Chuck was born Oct. 7, 1937, in Rawlins, to Charles J. Sanger and Millicent Enberg Sanger. He was a lifelong Upper North Platte Valley resident, as well as a fifth-generation cat tle rancher. His great greatgrandfather Elijah Moore homesteaded a portion of the Sanger Ranch in the 1860s after which other gen erations continued as cattle men and Chuck’soutfitters.first transpor tation around Sanger Ranch was a Shetland pony named Snowball, but he quickly transitioned to a horse. He never missed an opportu nity to move cattle and by age eight, he was riding in the Medicine Bow National Forest with the ranch crew to work cattle and pack salt. As an adolescent, Chuck spent much of his time with his grandparents Katheryn and Al Enberg who were pioneer ranchers in Carbon County. In the summer, he helped trail cattle 60 miles from Jack Creek Ranch to the summer range at the Sulphur Ranch on Muddy Creek.His time there was spent moving cattle and gathering horses. Some of the horses were broke and trained for saddle horses on the ranch. All the cattle work and sort ing were done on horse back and the remainder of his summer was spent in the hayfields of both the Jack Creek and Sanger Ranch. Chuck attended school in Saratoga, where he grad uated from high school in 1955. He earned his bach elor’s degree in agriculture from the University of Wyo ming where he was a mem ber of Sigma Nu and Alpha Zeta fraternities. During col lege, his summers and many weekends were spent work ing on the family ranches. After college, he dedi cated his life’s work to full time management of the family ranches. Chuck was an early adaptor of holistic management practices using rotational grazing and bal ancing ranching with wild life habitat. In the Upper North Platte River flowing through the Sanger Ranch and in French Creek, he cre ated a trout habitat which continues to benefit those fisheries today. In 1966, Chuck met Bar bara “Bobbie” Mitchell at a snowmobile demonstration on Snowy Range. Chuck married Bobbie on Dec. 1, 1967, in Encampment, and in the ensuing four years they had a son Ladd and daughterChuckShawndra.was always intrigued with aviation and learned to fly in 1969. The airplanes were a valu able tool for locating cat tle, monitoring the irriga tion water and traveling between ranches. Chuck infused his passion for avia tion with his son Ladd, who he taught to fly, and they spent many hours together flying the skies above the Platte Valley. In 1979, Chuck was named Wyoming Flying Farmer of the Year at the group’s 32nd annual conven tion at the A Bar A Ranch. He also presided over the meeting as president of the WFFR.Chuck was a past Master of Saratoga Masonic Lodge Number 14, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons and upon his death was the lon gest surviving member.

After a lifetime of achievements as a cattleman and cowboy, in 2016, Chuck was inducted into the Wyo ming Cowboy Hall of Fame. The outdoor life was Chuck’s passion. While he was always doing ranch work, he found time for some hunting and fishing. October was his favorite time of year. After complet ing the hay season and mov ing the cattle to the winter range, he turned his atten tion to hunting and guiding hunters.Even after retiring from full-time ranching, Chuck relished spending time at the Muddy Creek Ranch, guid ing hunters and enjoying the solitude the ranch offered. For many years, Chuck continued the Sanger fam ily’s 130-year tradition of ranching during which time the properties ranked among the top working, as well as superb hunting and fishing spreads in the country. Today, Chuck’s sister Kathryn con tinues the Sanger family’s long ranching legacy. In recent years, Chuck and Bobbie enjoyed spend ing time with their grand children, teaching them to fish, taking rides, telling sto ries about times gone by and enjoying the outdoor life style he Chuckcherished.waspreceded in death by his parents Charles J.

co-director of the three-year, U.S. Department of Agri culture-funded Beginning Farmers and Ranchers proj ect. “Kendra brings a vari ety of valuable skills and resources to the position.” Originally from Wis consin, Faucett attended Ripon College, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in exercise science.

(CRP) land, provide protein supplements, sell the cattle, etc., says “WhileWilke.CRP pasture is being released, it’s pretty poor quality, so producers may be looking at supplementing cat tle on pasture,” she says. Wilke says there is research indicating a highlevel supplement can provide some forage replacement ben efits, but the expense of sup plementing may not always be worth the “Supplementinginvestment.is an expensive way to manage drought, so I want producers to understand just providing protein and energy supple ment can certainly improve body condition score, but as far as forage replacement goes, it’s a much lower rate than they may be expecting to get if that’s all they do with the supplement,” Wilke says. Wilke says another way to replace nutrients lost in low quality forage is to mix poor quality roughage, such as residues, with wet distill ers’ grains and feed the mix ture while cattle are out on pasture.“There’s been quite a bit of research done on this,” she says. “There’re two things at stake here – pre serving those pastures for future use and trying to keep these cows in decent enough condition to breed.”

Benefits of feeding on pasture Wilke says a young calf around 60 days of age can be difficult to keep in a confine ment pen, depending on how a producer is set up and if they typically do a lot of con finement feeding or not. “The calf may be able to crawl through the fences, crawl through the bunk or may not be able to reach the bunk or water well,” she says. Wilke suggests putting feed into bunks in the pasture where cattle can access both sides of the bunk to ensure calves are able to reach the bunk. Providing this addi tional food source leads to less of a demand for grazing pasture and provides added nutrients.Shealso says producers can move some of the cat tle to a residue field, such as a field where producers just took wheat off, and put up a hot fence around the area to keep the cattle contained. “If producers feed on the ground, then the calf can also reach the feed, and that rumen development is really impor tant right now,” she says. “Keeping calves on pas ture as long as possible buys a little time before the pro ducer has to sell or wean,” says Wilke. “When a pro ducer takes pairs to the sale barn, they’re banking on somebody else not being in a drought and being able to take the pair, or the cow will go to weigh-up and the calf will be sold separately, and a lot of people aren’t set up to deal with a 60-day-old calf.” Wilke says keeping the calf at least up to 90 days gives the producer a bet ter advantage, and it also may give the calf a bit of an opportunity to continue to eat whatever forage is around. “I know quality really isn’t there, but calves are pretty selective, so maybe the baby is getting a little more out of the pasture than the cows,” she says. Drought management plan Wilke advises produc ers “do the numbers” when it comes to managing their herd during a drought. “This is an expensive drought we are in,” she says. “There’re expensive resi dues, expensive hays, expen sive alfalfa, pretty expensive distillers’ and commodities are high.”Shesays it’s important producers evaluate what return they will get when they sell the calf based off the feed they put in. “If producers can’t make it pencil out, as much as no one wants to sell the genet ics they’ve worked on in a cowherd, producers can’t put so much feed into them that they can’t get it back out either, so do the math,” she says.Wilke reminds producers calves eat up to two percent of their body weight in for age out on pasture even when they are nursing on the cow. “So, if early weaning is something a producer can do, consider taking the calf out of there – it is going to save some on the pasture as well,” she says. “There are no easy decisions, but a lot to think about.” Kaitlyn Root is an editor for the Wyoming Livestock Roundup.

modernizations the previous administration made through its ‘phase one’ NEPA rule. “In particular, the phase one rules expanded definition of effects to include ‘indirect’ and ‘cumulative effects’ of projects will greatly delay and even kill energy projects we sorely need right now,” Moore Capito said. “With the damag ing phase one rule already in place, the Biden administra tion is now working on even more onerous revisions to NEPA, implementing regula tions in a planned phase two proposal to be unveiled later this “Ifyear.”these revisions are not stopped, they will enshrine lengthier, more burdensome and even insurmountable hur dles for any infrastructure, mining, industrial or energy projects to get off the ground,” she added.“Ifthere isn’t overwhelm ing, bipartisan support for this resolution of disapproval that simply stops the per mitting process from getting worse, then I don’t know how anyone could believe Sen ate Democrats will join us to pass meaningful legislation to make the process better,” she concluded.Therecent resolution passed by the Senate was highly supported by several agriculture industry organi zations, including the Pub lic Lands Council (PLC) and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA). “For years, the NEPA pro cess was inefficient and unrea sonably costly. Bureaucratic delays held up critical trans portation projects, water infra structure and basic steward ship activities. With phase one, the administration has turned back the clock to a pro cess they themselves recog nized as broken,” said NCBA Executive Director of Natural Resources and PLC Execu tive Director Kaitlynn Glover. “Ranchers and the lands they manage need clear, predict van and his colleagues for lis tening to ranchers and rural communities.” Next steps Passage of the resolution in the House is not clear, but PLC and its partners continue to highlight the intractabil ity of the NEPA rule, Glover noted.“We are hopeful the House recognize the need for a process allowing ranch ers to do their important daily work which has often been delayed by inefficient NEPA,” she said. “PLC and our partners will be working with leaders in the House to highlight the need to provide predictability for ranchers; from the range improvements providing wild life habitat to the roads ranch ers need to transport livestock, the NEPA process must not be the bottleneck to creating more stability in the American economy,” she added. Sen. Sullivan acknowl edged his appreciation for colleagues in an Aug. 4 press release. “I want to thank all of my colleagues who supported my resolution to rescind these jobkilling regulations – standing with the hard-working men and women who build Amer ica,” he said. “We all know the Biden NEPA regulations are nothing more than a delay bomb for building infrastruc ture in this country. Today’s vote is a win for the men and women who build things in America.”“It’sa win for those who support building infrastructure for America in a timely fash ion.

Summer is in full swing here in the Northern Great Plains. Recently, much of Wyoming has experienced maximum temperatures well into the 90s. While it is tempting to hunker down by the air conditioner or head for higher elevations until things cool down, these are the most critical times of the summer to ensure livestock are being properly managed to prevent heat stress and maintain productivity. Heat stress onset Heat stress occurs in livestock when heat inputs from the environment and from normal metabolic pro cesses in the body exceed the capacity of the animal’s abil ity to dissipate the heat. On a cloudless day, radiation from the sun warms the air temper ature and objects in the envi ronment (i.e., ground surface, sheds, concrete pads), and this radiation also warms the animalAdditionalitself. factors includ ing hide color and breed composition can influence the tolerance or susceptibility of an individual to heat stress. Any time the air temperature exceeds 80 degrees Fahren heit, it is wise to monitor live stock for signs of heat stress.

heatMeasuringstressseverity

An animal’s nervous sys tem picks up signals that the body’s core temperature is increasing and initiates behavioral and physiological cooling mechanisms. Rumi nant livestock shift grazing to cooler periods of the day and spend less time lying down in direct contact with the warm ground.Cattle begin sweating to release heat through the evaporation of moisture and will pant if sweating alone is not sufficient to provide cool ing. Sheep and goats primar ily utilize panting, but will also sweat from some por tions of the body, including the ears and lower legs. A lack of breeze and high relative humidity (both rare here in Wyoming) make heat stress worse by limiting evap orative cooling. Under mildly warm conditions, these cop ing measures are sufficient to reduce the core body temper ature and restore balance in the system.Whenextremely hot con ditions are sustained for sev eral days, animals may grad ually lose their ability to selfregulate body temperature which can lead to hyperther mia or death without imme diate intervention. Heat stress symptoms Animals experiencing heat stress reduce their feed intake to limit the heat gen erated by digestion of feeds. This is even more evident in ruminant livestock since they rely on microbial fer mentation of forages, which releases additional thermal energy. The consequence of limited intake is decreased rates of growth, and in severe cases, loss of condition. Heat stress is also highly disruptive of reproductive processes and damages via bility of sperm, oocyte and expression of estrus. Breed ing season heat waves nega tively impact conception and pregnancy rates. Effects of sustained heat stress in already-pregnant females may be transposed to their offspring, resulting in decreased muscle mass, impaired metabolic function and ultimately reduced mar ket value. Prevention Management steps to pre vent heat stress are simple. First, ensure animals have access to cool, clean water at all times. This rule applies no matter the weather con ditions, but producers should be mindful daily water intake will increase during hot spells. Always ensure water ing systems have the capac ity to keep up with livestock demand, or else plan to pro vide supplemental water. Second, when possible, provide access to shade. Sim ply removing animals from direct exposure to solar radia tion has been shown to allevi ate the most severe effects of heat stress. Trees make excel lent natural shades, and tran spiration from the leaves can actually cool the microcli mate beneath their canopies. Ensure sheds and other man ufactured structures are well ventilated.Third, avoid handling livestock during the hot test hours of the day. Morn ing work should be finished around 10 a.m. and evening work should not begin until after 4 p.m., as a general rule. When animal work or trans port during this time can not be avoided, use extreme caution to minimize han dling stress when loading and unloading, and have water ready and available at the destination site. Managing heat stress Hot temperatures are hard on humans and live stock alike. Keeping a close eye on animals as summer conditions peak, ensuring access to water and shade and limiting handling to cooler hours of the day will minimize the impact of heat stress on growth and per formance. Managing for heat stress allows ranchers to continue making prog ress toward their production goals.While summer humidity conditions in Wyoming do not often reach extreme con ditions causing emergency heat exposure situations, it is worth noting heat stress can occur in any animal experi encing conditions for which they are not acclimatized. For example, a week of unusually warm temper atures following an April blizzard may induce mild heat stress. Likewise, bring ing cattle down from the mountain as lingering sum mer conditions warm up the lower elevations may induce heat stress. As always, mon itor animals for unusual behaviors during times of shifting weather patterns.

During a Kansas State University (KSU) Beef Cat tle Institute Cattle Chat pod cast on Aug. 5, KSU Clin ical Veterinary Toxicolo gist Steve Ensley discusses drought related plant issues as parts of the U.S. experi ence dry conditions. Common plant issues Hydrogen cyanide, some times called prussic acid, is a toxin commonly forming in Johnsongrass which can be a problem for producers across the country.“Cyanide and nitrate are toxins producers have a lot of concerns about and see issues with depending on the weather and environment,” shares Ensley. “Prussic acid is a cyanide toxicosis which is very acute – animals begin to show signs within 30 minutes of consuming plants with high levels of Animalscyanide.”typically have a hard time breathing, expe rience spasms, foam at the mouth and die quickly. “The good thing about cyanide and nitrate is it’s very quick,” he notes. “It can be very acute and if producers can get livestock away from the feed source, death loss can be minimal.”Commonly seen in the fall after the first frost, nitrates and cyanide are a concern when plants are stressed. “A majority of the calls I get are around frost time with producers asking when is it okay to feed,” says Ensley. He shares, a rule of thumb with forage testing high for prussic acid is, if a producer green chops and feeds it immediately, livestock will be alright.“The issue usually hap pens when producers green chop and leave forage in the wagon to feed the next day –during this time is when their will be a maximum produc tion of cyanide – and that’s when producers can kill the most animals,” he explains. “It’s fairly potent and acute, and treatment options are very limited.” Grazing considerations Livestock are at higher risk of being impacted by cya nide during drought. “Any time a plant is stressed and cyanide or nitrate is there, it’s always going to cause more of a problem,” he notes. “The biggest problem with cyanide is when there is regrowth after grazing – those sucker feeders, or small plants that come up and grow in the field after grazing, usually have the most concentrate of prussicInitialacid.”grazing is typically okay, but when there is a foot tall regrowth – this is when the cyanide concentrates in the plant can really be an issue. If grass is showing signs of yel low ends, this is an indicator of stress.Ensley encourages pro ducers to be aware of the cur rent conditions in their pas tures before they let cattle out to graze.“It’s never a good idea to put cattle out and see what happens,” he mentions. Haying stressed grasses Producers have the option to bale stressed forages into hay, Ensley says. “When producers bale forage with a high concen trate of cyanide and mechan ically crimp it, this will help get rid of a lot of the cyanide in there,” he explains. “Bal ing forage with high levels of nitrates will help some, but the best way is to silage it.” Ensiling forages can decrease nitrate levels by onethird, he “Harvestingmentions.can decrease it some, but ensiling will be the best way,” Ensley shares. “If producers want to make hay, they can go ahead, but they will want to make sure to do some testing before they feed it to livestock.”

In many cases, the only way a producer might know these toxins are there is when cattle start to die. Ensley encourages producers to take a venous blood sample when cattle are starting to show symptoms.“Ifan animal’s blood is chocolate brown, it indicates high levels of nitrate, and if it’s cherry red, this means high levels of cyanide,” he explains. “Being able to look at a venous blood sample is pretty diagnostic – it’s one of the few things done in the field immediately to tell what is going on.”

The main treatment is to get livestock away from the infected feed “Unfortunately,source. the U.S. Food and Drug Administra tion is really limited on anti dotes for animals in the last 10 to 15 years,” he mentions. “The same antidotes available 40 years ago are not available now – veterinarians are lim ited on what they can legally use to treat these illnesses.” To listen to the full pod cast, visit Brittanyksubci.orgGunnis the edi tor of the Wyoming Livestock Roundup.

Most new or beginning producers are likely aware that raising any crop is a challenge in Wyoming for a variety of reasons: weather extremes, natural disasters, water shortages and many other factors.Cash‑crop operations, livestock operators raising feed, or those involved in both generally find that it pays to have multiple options available. The current high cost and volatile market environment demands that managers produce a viable crop that can generate revenue, even if that means switching to plan B. Alternative forage crops offer options to producers from several perspectives, including risk management. Such production options are critical for profitability in the current economy. Fertilizer, herbicides, fuel and other input costs have increased substantially, while prices for all types of hay and forage are also high. In some cases , such as a year with limited irrigation water, it may make better financial sense to plant an alternative crop and save on inputs. Forage crops provide a forage resource with lower seed costs and fewer input requirements, including reduced requirements for fertilizer and herbicides. These crops can provide a backup crop if a primary crop fails. For example, if a silage corn crop is wiped out by hail, a summer annual forage crop could provide a silage option even in an abbreviated growing season. Alternative crops can also be used in a double crop system. For example, in this type of system, oats could be planted for silage and then followed with a summer annual forage crop. These crops can also be utilized as cover crops. Growing research shows that long‑term soil health and fertility is positively affected by using cover crops in place of fallow over the fall and winter. Many forage crops can be easily adapted to a wide range of crop systems, allowing the grower to take full advantage of the entire growing season.

SUMMER ANNUALS This class of crops includes sorghums, sudan grass, sorghum/ sudan grass hybrids, pearl millets, proso millets, and teff. These forages offer several advantages compared to corn and alfalfa; the primary benefit is their low cost and potential to produce large amounts of usable forage for silage, hay or grazing.Summer annuals typically have shorter primaryawaterissummeradvantageandespeciallyforarerequirementssystem.incropfollowinggreatercorn.timelinesmaturitythanThismayofferflexibilityaprimaryfailureoradoublecropFertilizergenerallylowthesecrops,milletsteff.Anotherimportantofannualstheyrequirelesstoproducecropthanmanycrops.

. These crops also may fit well in a double crop system. Crop systems that include cereals are growing in popularity, as they allow managers to maximize the growing season, trim costs, and provide a level of risk protection because production does not rely on a single crop. Examples include harvesting triticale or early‑planted oats for silage, followed by a forage sorghum for hay or silage in the fall. Cereals may also fit well in reduced‑till and no‑till systems, especially in locations where they require fewer inputs.

CEREAL GRAIN CROPS

OTHER FORAGE CROPS

There are numerous cropping options that can benefit both crop and livestock operations in Wyoming. For more information on forage crops and how they may fit your operation, visit the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Library at farmanswers.org/library. For numerous risk management and budgeting tools that can help you decide how these crops may fit your operation, visit RightRisk.org.

This class of forages includes oats, wheat, triticale and rye. Many producers harvest these crops for forage in the form of hay and silage, as well as for grain. Utilizing cereal crops in a rotation provides several benefits. Cereals allow producers to take advantage of early spring moisture; in particular, triticale and rye often do not require much early irrigation to produce several tons per acre of forage. They also provide flexibility: wheat, rye and triticale can be grazed over the winter and early spring, while oats can provide late summer and fall grazing under the right conditions. Cereal crops have relatively low fertilizer requirements, often making them a lower cost option compared to conventional forages, as is true with summer annuals

Other forage options to consider include winter peas , radishes, turnips and conventional sugar beets. These crops are often complementary in nature and work well when planted with another crop. They can add protein to forages, in the case of peas, and often work well in cover crop mixes . Radishes and conventional sugar beets have grown in popularity, particularly in cover crop mixes, due to their ability to provide soil benefits in the form of increased root matter and natural tillage. These crops may also provide a source of forage for grazing when livestock are a consideration.

FOR MORE INFORMATION

Summer annuals may also present some management challenges, mainly in the form of nitrate and prussic acid issues. These tend to show up if the crop is drought stressed or is overfertilized. Testing feed for these problems and harvesting at the right time (generally before a frost) can reduce the chances that these issues will lead to other difficulties.

“The dairymen even had an employee killed by it because the fellow han dling the controls by the milk parlor couldn’t see the back end,” she continues. “The dairy wanted Bud to show them how to get cows to go into the parlor in a timely manner without having to use the power gate.” “We went there to help them, and were in and out for six weeks,” she adds. “We had some schools in the area, and one of our stu dents was with us. While we were teaching, she stayed at the dairy and helped teach the crew how to handle the cat tle. During the six weeks, the dairy’s milk production went up 14 percent.”

Every now and then, someone comes along with ideas or observations changing the way people do things, and sometimes even changing the face of an industry. Bud Williams was one of those people, and his unique methods of handling cattle are being adopted by a growing number of folks in the cattle industry – both dairy and beef. Bud’s way of doing things is not only easier on the animals and people han dling them, but also saves and makes money for the producer, because reduc ing stress on cattle helps decrease illness and shrink (when selling animals) and increases performance. Family and ranching history Bud has since passed, but his family continues to put on schools and clinics and help teach his meth ods, and their students con tinue to spread his word andBudwisdom.wasborn in 1932 on a farm in southern Oregon, where his family had work horses, dairy and beef cat tle, sheep, hogs, poultry and raised grain and hay. “I met him at a coun try square dance and I mar ried him when I was 14,” his wife Eunice says. “We’d been married for 60 years when he She’sdied.”now 84 years old and lives in Missouri, but is still a part of his continu ing legacy with the fam ily company: Bud Williams Stockmanship.“Thereisno doubt Bud’s methods are better – all the way around – and improve production,” Eunice says. “After we married in 1952, we worked on cattle and sheep ranches in northern California. On our first job at a big ranch in the mountains, Bud was horrified at the way they handled the stock. He told me there was no way he was going to work stock that way.”He started figuring out better ways to do it. Bud’s reputation as a problem solver developed from him being a good neighbor and his ability to bring in “the ones that got away” when folks were gathering cattle. Handling livestock and teaching others The main things enabling Bud to perfect his method of handling livestock were his great powers of observation and pure stubbornness, she says. He was able to rota tionally graze pastures with out fences, taking any type of livestock, including weaned calves, onto unfenced ranges and teaching them to stay as a herd.“After our daughters left home, Bud and I started trav eling more, taking jobs that were difficult and interest ing,” says Eunice. “We had excellent results working beef and dairy cattle, sheep, goats, elk, fallow deer, rein deer, bison and hogs. We gathered reindeer above the Arctic Circle in Alaska and wild cattle in Mexico and the Aleutian Islands, and helped make remarkable increases in production in dairy herds.”

In 1989, after much urg ing from people he had helped through the years, Bud began teaching his stockmanship methods to more“Yearspeople.ago, we went to consult with a dairy milking 1,000 cows which had some problems,” she explains. “They had a hydraulic gate to move cows from the hold ing pen, which held about 120 head and had a wash pen into the milking parlor. The hydraulic gate kept shoving them closer and closer to the entrance into the parlor. If a cow slipped and the hydrau lic gate was still moving, it injured the cow.”

Benefits Reduction in disease was another benefit, according to Eunice.“When we arrived, they had 40 cows in the mastitis pen – where cows are kept when they couldn’t use their milk,” she explains. “When we left six weeks later, there were only seven cows that had developed mastitis.”

Beef cattle producers usually don’t have any idea how much production they are losing, but dairy produc ers know within 24 hours if something is working or not, because milk production is closelyBeefmeasured.cattle ranchers have been slower to adopt low-stress handling meth ods because of traditional ways they’ve been moving and working cattle. It’s often a situation where all their friends and neighbors help gather and work cattle, and it can easily become a rodeo, she “Atnotes.branding time, espe cially when people are rop ing calves, it often becomes a big party,” says Eunice. “Bud used to compare this

to a grocery store owner inviting all his friends and neighbors and turning them loose to do various jobs; they might forget to stock the shelves and do inventory while they are partying.” One of Bud’s students who puts on stockmanship schools, Whit Hibbard, is part of a family ranching operation in Montana and he tells people after their ranch adopted Bud Williams’ methods, they’ve saved about $38,000 every year when selling 500 yearlings, due to much less shrink on the animals. Key considerations “There are actually very few rules for how to handle cattle efficiently with mini mal stress,” Eunice says. Bud’s method of work ing livestock consists of learning to “read” what the animal is sharing through its body language, and chang ing a person’s position so the animal goes where one wants it to go. It is also important animals do not consider humans as a threat to them. If the goal is to get cattle to move away, the worst place to stand is right behind them.Behind an animal is their blind spot; they want to turn around and keep an eye on the person work ing them. It’s important to put the pressure on from the side at an angle rather than from behind, she notes. “Take an angle to make the cow realize if she doesn’t move up, she will get bumped into, and she’ll hurry to get past you,” Eunice explains. “But don’t give a little shove from behind as she goes past, or her reaction will be to imme diately turn back instead of goingBudforward.”toldpeople to not make the mistake of think ing he “babied” animals. “He put more pressure on cattle than just about any body I’ve ever seen, but he applied it in the right place,” she says. “It makes all the difference. He expected cat tle to move right out, and he didn’t baby them, but if you are in the wrong place, this is counterproductive and the cattle won’t trust the han dler.”“If someone is in the wrong spot, they are tell ing cattle the wrong thing,” she explains. “That’s like wanting someone to turn right, but telling them to go left, and then getting mad at them for going to the left.” “If they are not doing what producers want them to do, producers need to change their message,” she says. “It’s their fault, not the cow’s.” Heather Smith Thomas is a corresponding writer for the Wyoming Livestock Roundup.

Memories of cattle drives, hunting and fish ing trips, ranching and good times with a life-long friend came flashing back as I helped the family write the obituary for Chuck Sanger, who passed away recently.The story of a lifelong Carbon County resi dent, pioneer rancher, cow boy, cattleman and out fitter Charles “Chuck” A. Sanger, 84, appears in this week’s Wyoming Livestock Roundup As has been the case way too many times this spring and summer, I again ask for your indulgence as I reminisce about the good times back when Chuck and I were kids on neigh boring ranches. His family was on Jack Creek and the Perue family on the Pick Ranch, west of Saratoga. One of my fondest memories of our friend ship as “young men of 12 or 13” was helping with the cattle drives in early sum mer. Chuck’s grandparents would put a crew together to trail cattle 60 miles from Jack Creek Ranch to the summer range at Sulphur Ranch on Muddy Creek. It took three or four days to drive the dries, steers, bulls and a few horses to Muddy Creek, but more than a week to push the cows and calves the 60 miles. Of course, the biggest problem was some cows were still calving, while other young calves would always try to turn back.There were always a lot of good drovers on the drive who would put up with us greenhorns, plus the rancher gave us a good saddle horse that knew the territory and had been on the trail before. Al Enberg also fed good grub and was patient.Although some grass and a few good springs existed between the Jack Creek Ranch and Muddy Creek, the drive was mostly over arid ground with bad water. The rancher’s advice was, “If your horse won’t drink out of the water hole, don’t you, plus never force your horse to cross Sage or Muddy creeks. Let him pick the Bothway.”creeks would suck us down to the bottom in a flash and the savvy horse knew it. Other good advice was to look for a skipper or bug in the spring before drink ing out of it. Otherwise, the alkali water gave us what was called “the Rocky Mountain quick step” to the nearest sage brush. Also, don’t believe the old cowboy who tells you slapping the rear end of the dung covered cow and plastering it on your mouth will cure cold sores and chapped lips. However, from then on, it sure keeps you from licking your lips. After arriving at the historic stop of Sulphur Springs, it was an adven ture to sleep in the old sodroof bunkhouse filled with pack rats stealing every thing. The best defense was a flashlight and a .22 pistol to deter them as they scampered across the log rafters.As a youngster, I wanted to be a cowboy like Chuck, but suffered from hay fever so bad –my eyes would swell shut and I would have violent sneezing fits. At the age of 15, I became a printer and reporter, while Chuck kept on cowboying.Althoughwe went dif ferent ways, we both were able to enjoy the great life the Upper North Platte River Valley had to offer – Chuck as a successful rancher and inductee into the Wyoming Cowboy Hall of Fame, and me as an award-winning weekly newspaper publisher and inductee into the Wyoming Press Hall of Fame. Happy trails, good friend, on your next cat tle drive! I look forward to riding with you again someday.

Hay in the west sold steady. Demand was good with contacts stating phones have been busy. Some contacts stated it has been easier this year to find trucks to haul hay. Some areas reported a tick of rain in the last week. Some areas of the state that were normal for moisture are now back into the abnormally dry section of the drought monitor.

Large square bales of alfalfa sold steady to 10.00 higher. Round and large square bales of grass hay sold fully steady. Ground and delivered hay sold steady to 10.00 higher. Ground and delivered cornstalks 15.00 higher. Buyer inquiry was good with all contacts stating the phones have been busy all week. Prospective buyers are shocked at what the FOB price of the hay will cost. Buyers mull the price over for a few days and then have been calling back to buy a load or two. So, in short, hay supplies are very tight as most producers across the state are several tons behind last year’s production. Hay grinders are very busy for this time of year because feedlots and ranchers are having to grind hay as they are weaning or receiving bawling spring calves. These bawlers, in Nebraska are moving roughly two months earlier than normal due to the drought.

The spring before I moved to College Station, Texas to begin my sophomore year of college, I met someone who changed my life forever. It wasn’t a guy (that didn’t hap pen until after I graduated with my bachelor’s and dropped out of graduate school). It was a girl named Rexanna Powers, someone who’s now one of my greatest friends in the entire world.Rexanna and I met through a friend of a friend. She was graduating the following December with a bachelor’s degree in ag communications and we immediately hit it off. She took me under her wing and showed me the ropes of college.Rexanna also inspired me to go to graduate school, after she got accepted into the grad uate program at Texas Tech University. Although I didn’t go on to achieve my master’s or doctorate, a dream we both wanted to accomplish, she did – and boy, did she do it big. Rexanna is now Dr. Rex anna Powers. She has her bach elor’s in ag communications, a journalism degree from Texas A&M, master’s from Texas Tech and her PhD from Loui siana State University. In other words: She’s an ag communications bad a**. I wish there was another term I could use to describe her, but it hits the mark, 100 percent. So why should you remember her name? Well, because Rexanna is revolution izing labeling laws in the U.S. Let me Rexannaexplain.and I bonded over a mutual nerdiness for ag communications and a love of pretty much anything girly. We would, and still can, talk for hours about agriculture in America and the discon nect consumers have with the industry.We’re passionate about communicating the agricul ture industry, plain and sim ple. The way I pursue this pas sion is by writing this column every week; but the way Rex anna pursues this passion is by conducting research on this disconnect.Rexanna’s research proves the points we in ag have been trying to make for years: Con sumers don’t understand what many of the labels mean on the food they buy. They care about labels, but when they see a “cage free” label on a carton of eggs, they often picture the chickens laying the eggs and roaming around in some lush farm. When in reality, they’re in a laying house in the middle of eastThereTexas.are simply less cages or enclosures with more amenities like nesting boxes and scratch pads to “exhibit natural behaviors” freedom related to animal welfare. So sure, they’re not in tiny cages, but they’re in a cage of some sort,Totechnically.someextent, this dis connect is the consumers’ fault; they should do their research. At the same time, why should someone need to research the labels on their food? To some extent, this is agri culture’s fault; we shouldn’t participate in slightly shady certification programs. At the same time, if agriculturists don’t participate in these pro grams, we aren’t able to sell our products, which would put us out of business and leave consumers with nothing on grocery store shelves. To the full extent, I believe this is the government’s fault for passing laws allowing mis leading labels. And I’m not the only one who believes this. This is such a hot topic in ag. It’s why people go through the trouble of making these laws in the first place. It’s why Rexanna spent years of her life getting a PhD – so she can make the ag industry better and provide research to change these laws. I spent the past weekend celebrating my good friend Rexanna at her bachelorette party. She’s getting married in October to the man of her dreams who supports her cause fully. Per usual, in the middle of all the glitz and glam, we found some time to nerd out. Rexanna told me she’s meeting with the National Egg Board soon to present her research. Now, you may be a cattleman, pig farmer, sod buster, etc., but this meeting should interest you. Rexan na’s research may be focused on labeling within the egg sec tor, but her findings and meth ods could spark one heck of a fire across the entire agricul turalButindustry.don’t take my word for it – take American scientist Dr. Temple Grandin’s. She went out of her way to be an advi sor for Rexanna’s doctoral dis sertation because she believes in Rexanna’s cause. I’m really proud of my friend, and I think she should be on every agriculturists’ and consumers’ radar right now, because she’s about to shake up the grocery store experience.

To: Our adorable son From: Your loving parents Regards: Living arrange Dearestments darling, It dawned on your mother and I you just cel ebrated your 29 th birthday and you’re still living at home. This is a problem. By the time I was 29, I’d sired four kids, been divorced two times and had been in jail and rehab for six weeks. And your mother had put me through medical school by working two full-time jobs and still managed to raise the afore mentioned kids. Please don’t think we are complaining and criti cizing you in any way, but we are feeding and clothing you, we pay the payment on your Lexus which is newer and nicer than what your mother or I drive, and you use our Mastercard for all your incidentals includ ing tattoos and nose rings. Your earrings are far nicer than any your mother owns. The problem is the family business has been a little slow lately, so we can no longer afford to spoil you in the style to which you’ve become accustomed. We know you’ve been through a rough patch after the girl you met on the internet from Sweden (who you never actually met in person) broke off your engagement, but would it be too much to ask of you to at least make your own bed? We feel like we have been more than patient. We never complained about paying all your expenses for those seven years while you got a degree in Greek mythology, but we are con cerned when all you do all day is play video games, stare at your phone while texting God knows who and buy expensive Japa nese swords on eBay with our PayPal account. We know you feel lost and are trying to “find yourself” but might we suggest a good place to start looking would be in the “Help Wanted” ads in the It’snewspaper?time to bounce back and get back in the game, son. There are other women you don’t know on the internet you might like. We are also a little con cerned you’ve been using mascara and lipstick, are wearing plush velour jog ging suits from Nordstrom with tasseled loafers and no socks and when you’re not going to pasta tast ings and wine cruises, you are watching inordinate amounts of HGTV. Honey, please see our side. It’s not like we can send you to your room for not eating your peas and we can’t wash out your mouth with soap for using the F-word in every sen tence, but the really loud rap music you insist on playing is making the dog psychotic and killing the goldfish.Weknow you’ve never had a job before and are counting on inheriting your mother’s and mine fortune, but we’re planning on liv ing until we’re 90 which would make you 70 when you finally get the money. There’s also the possi bility – at the rate you’re burning through our cash –there may not be any left. Or I could die prematurely, your mother could marry a gigolo and your inher itance could be lost on a Vegas craps table. Or your mother could pass away and I could fall in love and remarry a 20 something “nurse after a purse” and your inheri tance could be left to half brothers and sisters you don’t even know. You don’t know how hard it is to say this, but it is with great regret we inform you that you have 30 days to vacate the prem ises. If you are still liv ing here past the deadline, we are going to get tough. Your mother will no lon ger wash your clothes and we will no longer pay your cell phone bill or gas for yourIfcar.you have not shown at least some initiative at the end of one month by at least looking for a job, we will take away your weekly allowance and ground you.
