FROM THE EDITOR

job is working with the engine of the livestock industry - the people. From doing an annual Skype interview with Mark Hoge’s WIU Livestock Merchandising class to learning the nuts and bolts of someone’s operation we are running a feature article on or designing an ad, we take something away from every relationship. Ultimately strengthening The Showtimes as we incorporate their personal stories into the pages and coverage.

When this magazine is shipped to the printer, we will be gearing up for a cram-packed Summer. It will be a busy Juinor National season leading right into the biggest Showtimes issue of the year - The State Fair Edition!

Whether you are working with your livestock, contests for Junior Nationals or going after your life goals - remember to crank it up to 10. Go big and never do yourself the disservice of allowing slack.

See You This Summer!

Laurie Reid, Owner

e were raised with the belief that you do nothing half-way. If you are going to put forth the effort to be

involved in something, you give it all you’ve got. That principle has been a driving force behind The Showtimes. We always strive to go bigger and better eith each new day, project and issue.

By going for gold, we have been blessed with the opportunity to be a part of livestock shows and events acrossed not only the United States, but the world. Working with shows from Massachusetts to California and Canada to Down Under in Australia!

In addition to working with shows, it has been an absolute blast joining forces with Cover-All Signs & Banners to design and print backdrops and cutouts. Be sure to check out some of the work we have done on pages ?????.

Without question, the highlight of our

IN EVERYTHING YOU DO, GO FOR GOLD.

CRANK ITUP TO 10

The TURBO Livestock Fan pushes air 5,560 feet

per minute at an incredible 1,740 RPM’s

and an industry leading 8,453 CFM’s.

READ BELOW HOW.

• Sullivan’s TURBO America’s #1 Livestock Fan

• Nothing matches the Turbo for Air POWER! The Turbo pushes air 5,560 feet per minute at an incredible 1,740 RPMs and an industry leading 8,453 CFM’s. This is 22% faster and harder than the other livestock fans. Keeping your livestock cool depends on providing a push of high velocity air power to your animal.

• The Dominant Motor Performance ... We have over-engineered the Turbo motor for added performance. The premium Nidec-Em-erson 1/2 HP sealed ball bearing motor features a very important component, a 10% larger internal stator and rotor ‘stack’ for more horse power than standard 1/2 HP motors. This extra ‘stack’ powers

it to run faster than any other livestock fan that we know of. As an added benefit, the Turbo motor runs 11% cooler than competitors 1/2 HP motors, this allows cooler air output from the Turbo.

• The Problem-Free Guard... Built for Longevity! Constructed of extra-thick 7 gauge and 11 gauge steel wire that is formed into a continuous one-piece spiral formation for reinforced strength that is not provided in other fans.

THE MAINE-ANJOU BREED The Maine-Anjou breed originated in the northwestern part of France in the beginning of the 19th century. The breed was first known as the Durham-Mancelle breed but later changed to Maine-Anjou taking the name from the Maine and Anjou river valleys. The first Maine-Anjou imported into North America came to Canada in 1969. These cattle were then introduced to the United States through Artificial Insemination. The Maine-Anjou society, Inc. was incorporated in Nebraska in 1969. In 1976 the name was changed to the American Maine-Anjou Association. The AMAA headquarters has been located in Platte City, Missouri since 2001. The breed excels in performance, disposition and carcass traits.

THE CHIANINA BREEDThe American Chianina Association was officially organized in June 1972 in Kansas City, MO. The original ACA office was located in Blue Springs, MO, until November 1982, when a permanent ACA National Headquarters was built in Platte City, MO. The primary purpose of the ACA is to register and transfer seedstock and maintain records of pedigrees in the breed’s herdbook. The National staff promotes the breed at various livestock events around the country, as well as publishes a breed magazine and other promotional publications as a service to the association’s membership.

2016 NJAS There’s no better place to celebrate Independence Day than at the 2016 National Junior Angus Show (NJAS) at the Nebraska State Fairgrounds at Fonner Park in Grand Island, Neb.

From July 3-9, National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) members and their families will travel from coast-to-coast to take part in the year’s most competitive junior livestock event. In addition to the elite cattle show, Angus youth will participate in life-skills contests, cooking events and much more. The tentative schedule of events is available online.

“Nebraska is going to be another stand-out year for our National Junior Angus Show,” says Jaclyn Clark, American Angus Association director of events and education. “The facilities are outstanding, and host states Nebraska and South Dakota are preparing for an impressive event that our

junior members and families are sure to enjoy.”

Themed “Stampede the Sandhills,” the 2016 NJAS expects to draw more than 1,000 head of registered-Angus cattle to compete. Classes include owned heifers, bred-and-owned heifers, cow-calf pairs, steers and bred-and-owned bulls. States will join together to compete for the Best Five Head, while individual members will vie for Junior Premier Breeder and the Silver Pitcher Award.

Cattle competing in the 2016 NJAS will begin checking in at 5 p.m. Sunday, July 3, and must be signed in by 9 a.m. Monday, July 4.

The 49th Annual NJAS Showmanship Contest will also take place, where two junior Angus members from each state compete for the “Top Showman” title. To qualify, juniors must first be selected during state competition.

THEY WANT IT ALLThere’s no doubt about it, Herefords are accountable, predictable, profitable and sustainable. The American Hereford Association’s (AHA) new ad campaign was launched focusing on the industry drivers – commercial cow-calf, feedlot and consumer- sharing a message of Hereford relevance to each segment’s personal business model (include ad campaign). With over 3,800 adult members and over 2,900 junior members the American Hereford Association (AHA) and National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) are two of the largest, strongest and most active cattle programs in the country, there’s no doubt that the Hereford breed is the beef breed supreme. Fiscal year 2015 was a year of continued progress and growth for the Hereford brand. Record sale prices for bulls and females, and increases in registrations (6%), transfers (10%) and membership (7%) prove the continued demand for Hereford genetics. The stakes have never been higher to create value and efficiency throughout the production system. This past year was full of Hereford activity. AHA kicked off the fiscal year with the Hereford Genetic Summit Sept. 4-5 in Springfield, Mo. The Summit focused on genetics and how the beef industry will be challenged to produce the product that the consumer demands to keep the industry sustainable and to feed a growing population. The message was clear: as an organization, have to be focused on helping breeders make genetic progress by concentrating on these four key strategies: • Keep putting pressure on calving ease. • Work hard on adding end-product merit. • Keep working to identify efficient, low-cost cattle. • Keep doing all of these things, while not losing focus on what has kept the Hereford breed in the game.There is no doubt today’s commercial cattleman wants it all, and the Hereford breed is poised to be the brand that provides it all.

Despite drought and escalating costs in the beef industry, Hereford breed demand continues to grow, as production sale and reports of private-treaty sales continue to out-pace the previous year’s reports. A total of 195 Hereford production sales were reported by the AHA field representatives this fiscal year. Bull sales averaged $6,882, up nearly $1,800 per head (35% increase) and females, $5,358, up more than $700 per head (16% increase). During the last fiscal year the AHA registered 75,988 Herefords along with 44,424 transfers and a total of 104,216 cows on inventory. During the 2015 Fiscal Year, Certified Hereford Beef ® (CHB®) experienced another year of growth despite the challenging U.S. economy. The company posted a record year in volume with 641 million lb. sold, 3.4 million head certified, 5.4 million head harvested and a 70% certification rate. To learn more about CHB’s time-honored tradition visit herefordbeef.org

This year the NJHA and the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) are excited to be heading to the Upper Midwest to spend a week at “A Hereford Scene in 2016” in Madison, Wis., July 9-15. The JNHE attendees will be exhibiting at one of the country’s newest and top facilities and home of the World Dairy Expo. Known to many as the ultimate family vacation, this show provides an opportunity for competition between junior members and their cattle; this summer’s event is sure to top everyone’s summer plans. The entry deadline for this year’s JNHE is June 1st and you may enter online at jrhereford.org.A HEREFORD SCENE IN 2016

HERDSMAN OF THE YEAR At the 2015 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) Jason May of Randolph, Minn., was named the 2015 NJHA Hereford Herdsman of the Year. Jason’s passion, work ethic and drive are what earned him the respect of his peers. “He’s always looking ahead to what needs to be done, instead of always having to be told what to do. He has a desire to succeed and is constantly working hard until he gets there and then setting another one.

He’s a nonstop goer. He’s a great kid and doesn’t know a stranger. He wants to give back to the younger kids in agriculture as much as anybody his age,” says John McCurry, McCurry Angus, Jason’s boss during his time at Hutchinson Community College. Jason now works for Fawcett’s Elm Creek Ranch in Ree Heights, S.D., an establishment where he spent many hours working during his time at South Dakota State University.

JUNIOR NATIONAL SHOWShow Me Your Charolais on Route 66! This year’s AIJCA Junior National Show & Leadership Conference celebrates 40 years of the AIJCA Junior National Show. The first Junior National Show was held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1976. Over the past 40 years the Junior National has been held in 18 states from Maryland to California and Minnesota to Texas. The Charolais Junior National Show is organized with a host state/affiliate each year, and our Association would not be where it is today if it weren’t for generations of Charolais breeders supporting our junior members and activities. We invite all past, present and future Charolais enthusiasts to join us in Springfield, Missouri as we celebrate this AIJCA Anniversary!

THE KENTUCKY CATTLE DRIVE

CAVE DRAWINGSThe Limousin association believes the Limousin breed originated anywhere from 16,000 to 13,000 years ago, from cave drawings in the French Lascaux Cave.

DOCILITY EPDIn 1998, the North American Limousin Foundation created the docility EPD. This EPD rates the docility of the cattle allowing breeders to select for the calmer animals and cull those who continue with difficult disposition.

IMPORTEDThe first Limousin imported to Canada was Prince Pompadour in 1968. The first U.S. import, Kansas Colonel, was born and raised in Canada and was imported in 1971 by Bob Haag of Topeka, Kansas for a group of Kansas Limousin breeders.

SWISS BELLSAll High Individuals Overall at the National Classic receive Swiss Bells, as a form of tradition from when Simmental cattle (originally from Switzerland) used to wear Swiss Bells around their necks so the herdsmen could find them roaming in the Swiss Alps.

WORLD NUMBERSThere are estimated between 40 and 60 million Simmental cattle in the world, second only to Brahman worldwide.

FIRST ASSOCIATIONThe first recorded Simmental Association was in 1890 in Switzerland, known as the “Red and White Spotted Simmental Cattle Association”.

THE SHORTHORN BREED History was made July 22, 1968 in Louisville, Ky., during the first National Shorthorn Youth Conference when Mark Tracy of Boulder, Colorado was elected as the first president of the newly formed American Junior Shorthorn Association (AJSA). The National Shorthorn Youth Conferences have continued since, being held every summer in states all across the US. The first National Junior Shorthorn Show was held in Springfield, Illinois in 1973. The two events merged into one week full of activities held simultaneously since 1981. Since these modest beginnings, the AJSA now boasts over 4000 junior members from all across the US participating in one of the top Junior beef programs available. Youth have opportunities available to them through this association that led to unprecedented careers not only in the agricultural industry, but the skills and lessons learned from a Shorthorn project can be easily adapted to careers in any industry.

A LOOK BACK

REMEMBERINGGORDON FERGUSON.

MAY 2, 1940 – MARCH 15, 2016

I’d like to go back to Chicago in November one more time. To the International Livestock Show that boyhood dream of mine.

To see the flags a waving on a cold Thanksgiving Day. To see the pens of big fat steers quietly munching on good Wisconsin hay.

To walk one more time through the yards main gate built of stone and rock, on a cold snowy night see the trucks lined up at the unloading dock and the trains loaded with cattle coming in from everywhere. While in the barn stood rows of bulls with thick and bloomy hair.

Stardust hotel, showing the Supreme Champion Heifer at Las Vegas in 1969.

Or walk to the Sirloin Room, with the throne in the center where the very best steaks were all laid, while out in the hall at 5 o’clock the wonderful bagpipes played.

But as much as I miss the building, yards, the hustle bustle atmosphere, it’s the people I miss most of all, the stories one would hear.

The boys from Oklahoma with Herefords red and white, or the Tolands with the Angus with the hides as black as night.

To see old Snow a washing the Tiemans Shorthorns one more time, and talking to old Snapper who was standing next in line.

To hear Ed Fowler talking in the tavern of the Inn of times gone by, just yesterday, and of the next bull to win. Or run across Halstead for a meal into Johnny Otts where Harl Jackson set and told the stories over a beer. And to know that in this building, on these streets my dad had been here. - “Ferg”

1965 Grand Champion Angus Bull at Phoenix.

SPECIAL FEATURE

ur cattle production started from land acquired from many of Randy Owen’s relatives and friends of his family. The name of our production, Tennessee River Music Inc., was named after the first number one single, written for the group Alabama. The Tennessee River was an integral part of Randy’s childhood activities, especially trips with his father buying and selling cattle in Chattanooga, TN and Scottsboro, AL, at First Monday.

Randy and his father talked and dreamed of a seedstock cattle operation like Tennessee River Music Inc. on the trips they took, when they were buying and selling commercial cattle. Randy’s grandfathers Joseph Ernest Owen and Henry Baughton Teague Sr. inspired Randy as a child to be very interested in livestock. Lots of the acreage, now part of the ranch, was sharecropped and rented by Randy’s family for row crops; where he plowed and worked the fields. Randy was involved in 4H and FFA as a young man. He grew up in the community of Adamsburg (DeKalb County) working with his sisters, and parents on a small family farm, where the ranch is today.

LOCATED IN FORT PAYNE, ALABAMA, TENNESSEE RIVER MUSIC IS A REGISTERED HEREFORD AND ANGUS OPERATION.

The first Hereford cattle were purchased in 1981. Tennessee River Music Inc. and Randa have shown many champions including many show heifers and show bulls of the year, for the Southeast Region. Randa showed the TRM-bred heifer, TRM RRO Phillie 0002, the National Champion Polled Female at the 2001 Junior National Hereford Expo in Billings, MT. In 2008, Randa showed the National Champion Horned Female, Purple Clover, at the Junior National Hereford Expo in Kansas City, MO. The first Angus cattle were purchased in the late ’80’s. The early years of the Angus operation were private treaty bull sales, and the heifers were retained in the herd. Now TRM has 3 annual sales. The Dixieland Delight, Red, White and Black Angus and Hereford Production Sale is held the first Saturday in May. Close Enough to Perfect Online Sale is held in September, and the High Cotton Angus and Hereford Bull sale is held the first Saturday in December.

Randy and Kelly are excited to be passing the cattle operation down to their youngest daughter, Randa, to continue Randy’s dreams of a first-rate, classy, seedstock operation. Randy and Kelly hope to continue hosting these production sales for a long time, but the future of the operation is secure and will continue with Randa’s youthful excitement.

John and Randa both grew up showing cattle. John showed Angus, and Randa showed Herefords. Their love of cattle led them both to Auburn University to study Animal Science. They both graduated with their MS and Graduate degrees from Auburn University, got married, and returned to Randa’s family farm to

continue her family’s legacy of raising Hereford and Angus cattle. John and Randa now have a 2 and 1/2 year old daughter, Harper Rose, who is in love with the cattle, and loves to help out in any way on the farm. The youth who are involved in agriculture today are so vitally important to the entire future of agriculture for all of us, so we are always willing to help out any youth activities involving and benefiting youth in agriculture. •

MEET THE EXHIBITOR

“THE PURPOSE OF LIFE IS TO FIND YOUR GIFT, THE MEANING OF LIFE IS TO GIVE IT AWAY.”

Our farm started when my grandpa bought his first set of commercial cattle in the early 70s and soon after purchased a couple registered Angus. Little did my grandpa know the type of foundation he set for his children and grandchildren. My mom grew up showing cattle in 4-H and also showed horses at the national level. She is currently a

home health nurse and the most caring person I know. My dad grew up in the city and worked at a locally owned hog operation in town. He now owns the hog farm and runs a nursery to finish operation. With this type of background, it was a given that my brothers and I would be involved in the livestock industry one way or another.

When my brothers began to show cattle and hogs in 4-H they were competing against a family that we soon

ITOR realized were the hardest

working, most dedicated people we would ever come across. They brought almost every animal to the county fair and had no fewer than ten head per species. This, nothing short of amazing, group of people are the Michel’s. Matt, Mike, and Gretchen took us under their wing and throughout the years have taught us a lot about the livestock industry. The connections we have made through them have been some of the most rewarding and long lasting relationships we could ask for. We wouldn’t be where we are today without them and couldn’t thank them enough for their knowledge passed down and the many unforgettable memories made.

I watched my brothers show for a few short years until it was finally my first year in 4-H. Being the youngest, I felt like I had a lot to live up to. My first couple of years showing, I was terrified to say the least. Not only was I a less than average showman, but also year after year, my brothers gave me the worst heifer in the barn. I realized there was a reason behind their logic. I simply wasn’t putting in as much time as they were. Giving me the worst heifer of the group was probably the best thing my brothers could have done. It pushed

me to prove myself, to be consistent and to exceed the expectation. I started to put in more time breaking, rinsing, and brushing my heifers. The more time spent, the more I began to fall in love with this game and the more my success in the show ring reflected that. One thing my brothers taught me to live by is to always have the mindset that your competitor is one step ahead of you. So, find what drives you and stick with it. Be consistent, believe in yourself, and you will see results.

After countless hours spent in the barn and in the show ring, the next thing I knew it was my last year showing Angus as a junior. I wasn’t ready for the journey to end but shaking the judge’s hand at the National Western Stock Show was more than a perfect ending to our Cinderella story and among many others an experience that we will cherish forever. So many people made that handshake possible and there are far too many people to thank for their continued help and support. But, I’d especially like to thank my brothers for teaching me everything I know about cattle and for molding me into the person I am today; my parents and grandparents for setting a foundation and being our number one

fans even when we stood last in class; and my fellow showman for pushing me to improve everyday.

This is nowhere near the end for my brothers and I, we plan to stay involved just as much or more by handing down our knowledge to juniors and producing good quality cattle to help enhance this industry to it’s fullest potential. Currently, we have a 35 head, cow/calf operation that consists of commercial and registered Angus cattle. We calve the majority of our cows in the spring and a few throughout the fall. Coming from a small background, our goal is to maximize our heard by producing phenotypically correct and functionally sound cattle. Raising the promotion bull, “Next Up,” is just one way to prove our goal has been reached. We couldn’t be more humbled by the amount of interest and support everyone has displayed, thus far. Our excitement for his future and the future of our heard is beyond explanation. Please feel free to stay in touch via Facebook with Meadow Lake Angus and be looking for upcoming information about our sale coming up this fall. •

DETERMINATIONPRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESS:

INSPIRED BY LODESTAR GUIDANCE, POWERED BY WEAVER LEATHER LIVESTOCK

Determination is working intently to accomplish your goals regardless of opposition. People with determination have willpower and are intentional about reaching their goals, so it is an important trait to incorporate into your stock show life. Acquiring this trait will help you work through the challenges you might face when working with your animal or other obstacles you might encounter during your show career.

Success isn’t something you’re given. Showmen who have achieved success knew what they wanted, stayed on track and continually practiced to make show day look effortless. They were determined that the obstacles they faced would not defeat their dreams. These same people found ways to purposefully manage their time and surrounded themselves with other determined individuals. Their outcome was positive because they chose to stay focused and push themselves to overcome the adversity.

WHAT IS DETERMINATION?

®

WATCH: www.thewinnersbrand.com/aboutus/whatiswinning

LEARN: www.lodestar-guidance.com

SHARE: #morethanthebanner and #determination

DO’S & DON’TS OF DETERMINATIONBE INTENTIONAL: Map out your starting and ending points by writing down the steps that you need to do to stay on track. If you know someone who’s had success, ask them to share advice on creating a plan.

MAKE IT A HABIT: Discipline yourself to make practicing part of your routine. Do you need to improve on clipping? Fitting? Setting your calf? Practice these tasks until they become natural to you.

MANAGE YOUR TIME: Stay on track by making a daily, weekly and monthly schedule and allocate all of your activities to a specific time-frame.

DON’T BE DISCOURAGED: Setbacks are normal with factors including animals, weather and travel. Put a positive spin on the situation and understand that there is a better way to reach your goal.

DON’T LACK CONFIDENT ENCOURAGEMENT: Surround yourself with people who believe in and encourage you, or you will find it difficult to keep trying.

DON’T CELEBRATE TOO EARLY: Celebrating too early can break your stride and ruin the outcome. Celebrate after the win has been secured.

Being a determined person helps you grow. Successfully completing a task despite the obstacles means your confidence will increase and you are prepared for the next challenge life will bring, within or outside of the stock show life. That’s why having determination is #morethanthebanner.

Folks, it’s that time again - and it’s a good thing I have Betty Reid to remind me - it’s time to travel and eat again! The summer shows and Jr. Nationals are upon us, I sure hope everyone has their entries in and motels booked! I’ll try to take some of the pressure off by sharing some of my favorite places to dine while on the road. That’s got to be one of the most important agenda items to take into consideration while planning your trip. I’ll start close to home in Stillwater, Oklahoma. I’m not one to promote a lot of Mexican establishments, but there is one out on the west side of Stillwater that’s pretty darn good when it comes to South of the border cuisine. That would be EL Vaquero. This place is just plain hard to beat when it comes to filling the bill for something for everyone in the group. From the tacos and enchiladas to the fajitas, this place is flat out good! The service, the quality and the pricing, plus their ability to accommodate large groups is unsurpassed in the Stillwater area. Heading on North, I’m not even going to write about Kansas City locations. You should have them memorized by now! I’m making my next stops in Des Moines, Iowa. The Reid Family shared this quaint little joint with me called Zombie Burger. I must say I would not have searched this place out on my own, but like I’ve said many times before, I’m open to suggestions. And boy howdy were they dead on with this place! I gotta say I do like the choices here. The burgers, the different sauces for the burgers and just the wide variety that’s on the menu! I was way outside my comfort zone on this suggestion, but I’m glad I took the challenge. I’m not sure you caught my statement about “stops” in Des Moines, but I have two places here. The second one being The Iowa Beef Steakhouse. This place is not for the small of capacity when it comes to the portions, not to mention the unsurpassed quality. From the steaks to the pork chops, this place is THE PLACE to eat the real deal large meal in Des Moines. This place is at the top my go-to eat at place in Des Moines.

The next stop on the summer tour is in Madison, Wisconsin called Dotty Dumpling’s Dowry. Now this is a unique place for me but I’m now the one throwing the challenge out to give it the old college try. Who would’ve thought a little place that started out as a jewelry and clothing store would evolve into one of the best burger joints in Madison! The menu here is very patron friendly even to the point of (heaven forbid) vegan burgers. Boys I’m here to tell you I’m out on the vegan. You can’t make the journey to Wisconsin without partaking of the cheese curds. I do have to admit the curds are an acquired taste, but I have acquired the taste and now find them quite tasty! The prices here are very accommodating for a family or even a group of hungry stock show enthusiasts to enjoy along with the generous portions! Making the loop South I find myself in Springfield, Illinois. Low and behold I’ve just got to have a horseshoe or maybe just a ponyshoe depending on how much room I’ve saved along the way. The horseshoe is a local dish unique to this area. It is a platter covered with toast then your choice of meat - from hamburger patties to sliced turkey - covered with an overly generous amount of french fries. Then top that off with a layer of melted cheese. I’m

thinking they should have named it the Family Feeder! I tried one solo and didn’t even

make a dent in it. The best place I have found for these in Springfield would be at Charlie Parkers Diner. I would strongly suggest taking reinforcements if you plan on partaking of this local dish. The menu choices at Charlie’s

are very diversified catering to more of a pub atmosphere in my opinion. The

quantities and prices are very good.

I’m sure I’m leaving places out that the faithful followers would like to read about so please

feel free to send your suggestions or use the Showtimes APP for more locations to dine at that aren’t mentioned in this writing. Safe travels and happy eating and please try not to lose focus on why we have these projects with our friends, and most importantly with family. A lot of life lessons and memories are made while traveling. Let’s try to make them great memories! ‘Til next time.

UP AND COMING

f you would have told me three years ago that competing in collegiate livestock judging contests every other weekend was my destination of choice, I would have looked at you perplexed and maybe even chuckled

a little to myself. Yet today, while I am beyond humbled to be named the Number One Intercollegiate Junior College Livestock Judging All American, I can’t help but feel even more gracious for the blessings and opportunities I was given throughout my entire journey. To be perfectly honest, judging livestock collegiatley was not something on my radar going into my senior year of high school. Don’t get me wrong, growing up in the livestock industry

“SOMETIMES IT’S THE JOURNEY THAT TEACHESYOU A LOT ABOUT YOUR DESTINATION.”

Page 295: May/June 2016 Junior National Edition

and raising and showing cattle across the nation competitively, definitely instilled a passion in my heart for livestock that was irreplaceable. When my sister was old enough to show, of course my brother and I got drug along for the ride, and I loved the chance to work on show cattle and couldn’t wait to stick one of my own. As my livestock knowledge matured, I did take on livestock judging in high school. Yet, after being fortunate enough to be a member of the California State Champion and Reserve National Champion FFA Judging Team my freshman year of high school, my judging career was sent to the books early. I soon filled the competitive void with basketball and FFA.

FFA is where my journey began to twist, as a passion for leading created a willingness to serve in my heart. The FFA brought on an era of growth, passion, hard work, and leadership within my life. The day I stepped foot in my high school agriculture department, my teachers, Anna Bates and Jodi Evans, changed my life. Not only do they inspire youth to reach higher than they imagined possible, but they are even greater people who never once hesitated to put faith in

me and my abilities. Jodi pushed me to work harder than ever to develop my personal skills. I was blessed to have competed at the state contest for four years under her influence, resulting in a Prepared Public Speaking, a Marketing Plan, and Beef Proficiency State Title, and the opportunity to compete at Nationals four years in a row. Perhaps the most influential experience that cultivated my passion to lead was serving as the Regional FFA President. Yet this would never be possible without the help of another infamous individual, Mr. Greg Beard. Mr. Beard was my regional advisor, but most importantly my friend. He saw potential in me that I never suspected in myself and in turn he pushed me to serve others with that same potential. Beard showed me that the best way to find myself was to lose myself in others. I discovered that the success I achieve in life will always pale in comparison to the opportunity to inspire others to achieve.

And while FFA certainly played a role in my future decision, it was the game of basketball that took my heart. My love for the game kindled in the sixth grade when my sister’s middle school coach invited me into the big

“middle school basketball practice”. Coach Rob Tish later went on to be my coach for two years and he taught me every fundamental piece of the game I needed to know, and most importantly he put faith in me work

harder than anyone else on the court. He taught me enough skills to land a starting spot on the varsity team my freshman year, and from there it was an addiction. My afternoons were filled with practices, while my weekends were

filled with tournaments. Suddenly it wasn’t good enough to just play high school ball, I also had to be on a competitive travel team. I drove 3 hours every other day, sometimes after high school practices, just to practice with girls from all over the state. This hectic schedule often left my emotions in turmoil and my body fatigued. Luckily my high school coach

Dan Monroe showed me his continuous support and instilled the belief that “hard work would beat talent, unless talent

works harder.” Through Dan’s coaching

and encouragement, the hard work, blood and sweat, my senior season had a monumental ending. I landed a spot on the All- State Team and the All-County Team. I was named the League MVP and County player of the year after previously being named the Defensive Player of the Year. And best of all I landed Division One scholarships from schools all across the western US. The decision

for my future was easy. I go to play basketball,

right?

But the decision was not easy, as the

experiences I had endured throughout my whole

life had filled my heart with so much happiness, and now I would have to choose an indefinite path, leaving another passion behind. FFA was an organization that had provided me with life-long friendship, leadership skills, and endless confidence. Basketball was a piece of my life that I had devoted endless effort into and it created a beast of competitiveness with in me. And while it seemed as though these were my only two options, being named 2nd High Individual at the National 4-H contest in Louisville my senior year of high school put livestock judging back on my radar. After months of stress, tears, and endless hours of thought, I took a leap of faith and landed on a destination that seemed to be a last resort for the longest time. I re-ignited my passion for livestock and I was headed to Butler Community College to judge. I decided to breakaway from familiarities; running for California State FFA Office or chasing a Division 1 basketball scholarship, and undertake a new challenge, featuring a skill I had laid to rest several years prior. Frankly, I was terrified that I would struggle and fail, de-valuing all that I had accomplished before.

However, standing here today as a decorated collegiate contestant there is not a single second that I regret my decision. And while people tell me I should have no regrets because of the feats I have accomplished, I tell them I live with no regret because of the many blessings that got me here. My mom gave up her own ambitions to be my first livestock judging coach, and she instilled the belief that not only men, but also women can be strong influences in this industry. My family and father taught me the value of hard work, dedication, and that having the will to win, and doing all the little things right, can carry you to succeed in any facet of life. My college coaches, Marcus Arnold and Taylor Frank, supported me through two years of successes and failures. They showed me it’s not always about a person’s ability to succeed but a person’s ability to succeed humbly. And lastly, perhaps the biggest blessing to my destination is my older sister. While many told me I was following her footsteps, I argued I was shooting to fill up a huge footprint, and if I fell anywhere short, it would still be monumental. Ashley has served as my biggest support system

and teacher throughout my judging career and I couldn’t ask for a more talented individual to look up to. Outsiders argue I wasted my time and effort in high school just to give up amazing athletic and agricultural service opportunities. Yet the way I see it, I got the best of both my passions in one thing; competitive livestock judging. The experiences I “wasted my time” with were just hidden tools that have helped me accomplish my most ambitious goals today.

While my time at Butler has proven to be a blessing in its own and a stepping-stone to my future, I am looking forward to continuing my education and judging career at Oklahoma State University. I plan to graduate with an Animal Science Degree and fulfill my dreams of giving back to the youth of the industry in the same way I have been given to. I have many blessings to be thankful for and I want to be yet another blessing in someone else’s journey. •

MEET THE JUDGES

rowing up in Panhandle, Texas, it was inevitable that I would be involved in the agriculture industry, growing up the son of the town’s Ag teacher. Little did I know, my wins and losses

in FFA and showing livestock would lead me

to aspirations I never knew I had.

At an early age, I developed a strong passion for showing and judging livestock. Whether it was showing pigs, steers

and heifers or judging and working on SAE projects, I was extremely involved. As a result, I established a strong desire of becoming a State FFA officer. Going through the ranks as District President and Area Vice President, I was all but confident in how the outcome of the State nomination would be. However, my dreams didn’t come true. I wasn’t elected as a State FFA Officer, and looking back, I am thankful the Lord had a different plan in mind.

It was at that point I chose to attend Clarendon Junior College because of the strong influence

of a former coach, Jerry Hawkins. Jerry had been a mentor and helped coach and work with me at a very young age. At Clarendon College, under the leadership of Johnny Treichel, I had a very successful judging career. I was rarely out of the top 10 and finished my junior college career as an All-American. I guess you could say the Lord knew what he was doing when he led me down the path of livestock judging.

I decided to continue my education at Texas Tech University pursing

BUTLER LIVESTOCK JUDGING COACH MARCUS ARNOLD SHARES HIS STORY.

Page 299: May/June 2016 Junior National Edition

299

a bachelor’s degree in animal science. Judging for Ryan Rathmann at Tech, I was a member of the 2008 National Champion Livestock Team accumulating multiple top 10 finishes individually. I also was a member of the 2008 National Champion Meat Animal Evaluation team.

Graduation quickly approached and like many impending graduates, I was not sure exactly what the future held. A new opportunity arrived when Shane Bedwell, judging coach from Colorado State University offered me the chance to help coach the livestock judging team while pursuing a master’s degree. Two years later, I had earned a degree in animal nutrition and received valuable coaching experiences with Bedwell.

The thought of moving back to the Texas Panhandle encouraged me to seek the livestock judging coach position at West Texas A&M University and pursue a PhD. My first team at WT was very successful and ranked in the top five in three national contests. This was the first time in recent program history this had happened. During my second year at WT, Chris Mullinix,

expressed his interest in me applying for the Butler coaching job upon his vacancy. Knowing the history and success of the program, it was an easy sell and a perfect fit. I started as an instructor and livestock judging coach the fall of 2013. During my time at Butler, I have coached seven All-American students, four Reserve Champion teams at national contests, 13 top five finishes at national contests, and have never had a team place out of the top 10.

I attribute all of my successes and where I am today to many people. My parents and family have been the biggest support system through everything. I am also grateful to have had strong influences and coaches that have helped mold me along the way. But most importantly, as a strong Christian, I attribute everything to the Lord. My faith and my relationship with the Lord are easily the most important aspects of my life. Throughout this journey, the Lord has had a plan for me every step of the way. Things may not work out the way you want them to, but have faith and the Lord will show you His way. •

DGES Located on the front porch of the Flint Hills, El Dorado,

Kansas is home to Butler Community College. With an enrollment of approximately 8,000 students, Butler has the resources necessary to provide a top-notch education and to deliver unparalleled support to the school’s extracurricular teams. In fact, it’s that combination of classroom learning and hands-on experience that has allowed the Butler Livestock Judging Team to post a cumulative GPA of 3.7 while still fielding one of the most competitive squads on the junior college judging circuit. It is rare to find a program with an unwavering passion for excellence in the classroom and livestock industry that still know how to enjoy life and the college experience. It’s this rare combination that compels students to come to the Butler program.

Academically, Butler is continuously ranked as one of the premier community colleges in the country. In particular, the Agriculture Department is dedicated to providing education of the highest quality. A recently renovated building and high quality facilities allow learning to occur in the most conducive environment possible. We believe that combining passionate, knowledgeable instructors with practical learning opportunities gives our students a learning experience that is second to none.

In regards to livestock judging, it only takes a brief walk through the halls of the Butler Ag Building to see the countless plaques, banners, and trophies that decorate the walls. These accolades include 57 champion or reserve-champion finishes at national competitions. In addition, Butler has fielded 48 All-Americans— more than double the amount of any other junior college program. That winning tradition is the result of a dedication to hard work and a commitment to excellence. At Butler, late night practices, long van rides, and hours upon hours of reasons practice are commonplace. But we believe that hard work is both a catalyst for success in the livestock judging arena and a major contributor to the formation of high character individuals. Perhaps that is the reason that so many of the livestock industry’s leaders are products of the Butler program. In fact, Butler alumni include not only successful stockmen and women, but they are also well represented in fields such as medicine, law, and academia. And in the end, that remains the ultimate goal that drives the Butler Livestock Judging Program- to generate motivated, capable, driven individuals who maintain character and integrity long after their time on the judging team.

It is often perplexing, yet humbling, to look back and think of how you got to where you are today. That one decision, made differently, would

have such an impact on the very place you are now and the people you had encountered along the way. I am confident it is the opportunities you take, or don’t take, and the role models you look up to who have the greatest impact in your life.

While livestock and agriculture seem to have always been a part of my lifestyle, it was sports that made up my day-to-day, early on. Baseball, basketball, soccer and track along with the unvarying chores comprised most of my down time. My older brother, Garett, was the one I looked up to for everything. He always pushed me to do better than before, and like every older brother, I

think sometimes much, much worse than before. Collectively, it taught me that determination and perseverance drive me to success. Nevertheless, it didn’t take long for my early mornings and weekends to soon be renovated with cattle and hog shows. 4-H quickly began to push sports to the back burner for me.

Yet, it was once I go to high school that my Ag teacher, Brent Hopkins, pushed me the most. He was my FFA teacher, livestock judging coach, and biggest supporter. Livestock judging started for me as a sophomore; through FFA as well as 4-H. I learned setting goals pays off. Through FFA, our team at Roosevelt High School competed at the Western National contest where our team qualified for a trip the next summer to Scotland, Ireland and England. Ultimately, it was the coaches I had in 4-H and my FFA advisor that helped pave my way to college.

It can be as nerve-racking as it is exciting trying to nit-pick the pros and cons of various colleges. After a lot of thought and time, I had finally decided. I packed up and moved from my hometown of Berthoud, CO to El Dorado, KS to attend Butler Community College. While I competed on as competitive of a team as any other school, it’s the memories and people that I was surrounded by that was the real takeaway. There is no worth to put on the instrumental lessons that I learned from my main coach Chris Mullinix, or the 14 other coaches that I called my teammates and many of my best friends.

After the final banquet at Butler, our trailer loaded with all of my belongings, my mom asked, “Are we heading North or South?” Equally as puzzled where to attend senior college after visiting five schools and finding value in each, I had to make up my mind. South to Lubbock,

TX it was. I started school at Texas Tech University that fall and quickly became involved and on an extremely competitive judging team. Dr. Ryan Rathmann taught me, and the rest of us, that judging only lasts a short amount of time. Even though judging may seem like it is the most important thing at the time, faith, family and being a good person mean an entirety more. And they do.

Still passionate about the industry and livestock judging, I am currently the Assistant Livestock Judging Coach at Butler Community College. Just as I did through 4-H, FFA, Butler and TTU I am still learning valuable life lessons from both Marcus Arnold and the 22 students I help coach. Every choice, every opportunity, every person met along the way can influence where life will take you. So choose wisely, seize opportunity and be as personable as you can along the way. •

RECIPE

When I was in high school, I think my mother was worried that I was focusing all of my time on livestock and losing sight on any other possibilities or interests. Growing up in Maryland I always thought that my love for cattle would certainly continue as a hobby but not as my livelihood. One day she confronted me and asked what else I enjoyed doing beside my livestock projects, and to be honest, I drew a blank. I remember panicking at my lack of response. In her effort to guide me to some type of conclusion, she asked if I enjoyed cooking. From that point on I was responsible for cooking dinner once a week…and I loved it! However, when I got married I realized that seven days a week was extremely different from once a week. I asked my

mother to download every recipe she every made onto a thumb drive and it became my cookbook for every meal. I used this religiously until I discovered Pinterest, which gives me the ability to search, categorize, and save recipes that allow me to make dinner in a snap, which is usually the case on any farm. I have become a skilled griller, Crockpot user, and connoisseur of one-pot meals. However, it’s the staple dishes that I remember having at every important family gathering or holiday I am most proud of making. The recipe I have chosen to share is a not your typical Green Bean Casserole, I make it for all of our family get-togethers and there are usually no leftovers!

Green Bean Casserole12 oz creamed, frozen, or canned corn1 lb green beans½ cup chopped onion¾ cup of shredded cheese8 oz softened cream cheese1 can cream of celery or cream of mushroom soupMix together and place in a 9 X 13 pan (I always spray the casserole dish before)

Topping1 pack of Ritz crackers1 stick of butterCrumble 1 pack of Ritz crackers on top, pour 1 stick on melted butter over top the crackersBake @ 375 for 45 minutes

A LIFE SHAPED BY CATTLE, OPPORTUNITIES AND LOVE.BY CORTNEY CATES

My cattle background does not extend generations because I grew up with a mother that loves and showed horses and a father who never owned a pet until he met my mother! I began my 4-H career at the age of six in the Howard County Clover program showing chickens. When I was old enough for regular 4-H I began showing pigs, then sheep, and finally cattle. My parents never pushed me, but let me make my own decisions in what I wanted to exhibit. Showing pigs had been my favorite until I began showing cattle and that was when I realized that I had found my true interest. However, not coming from a cattle background and not having parents with any knowledge of showing cattle was challenging. When I attended my first 4-H Beef Field Day with my Hereford/Simmental cross steer washed and fluffy, I had no idea you clipped them before showing. Fitting was not even on the radar and my steer had one of those nylon halters that stayed on all the time. The term inexperienced was an understatement! As I led Freckles (yes, we named him and he remained a family pet until he passed at the age of 22) off the trailer one of the fathers said, “Someone help these people” and lucky for me a 4-H mom volunteered. She clipped and fit my steer, showed me how to use a neck rope and introduced me to the world of show cattle. From that moment on, I was hooked on showing cattle and that woman, Teresa Stonesifer, has become

318 a lifelong friend. Teresa continued to encourage me to become more involved and suggested the Angus breed because they offered so many different contests on the local, regional and national level. From the moment I attended my first Angus show and exhibited my first Angus heifer I was in love; I loved going to shows and competing in the many different contests.

However, cattle were not our livelihood and our budget only went so far, so if I wanted to continue showing cattle I had to learn how to clip and fit. I watched all of the fitters at the shows but I just didn’t have confidence to pick up the clippers and try. I remember leaving the Angus Junior National in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1999 and my mother driving almost all night to Stierwalt’s to attend a fitting clinic when I was 15. When I got home, I practiced on anything that was broke enough to clip. Since our budget was limited, my family focused on raising bred and owned cattle that would be competitive to show on a regional and national level. Raising show cattle, when you have a small herd, requires wise breeding decisions because you don’t have a large number from which to choose. We were fortunate enough to produce some good cattle that did well in the show ring and bull tests. The memory of having Reserve Grand Champion

Bred and Owned Female at the 2002 National Junior Angus Show ranks pretty high for my family and me. I was so fortunate to have two parents that supported me 100 percent and helped in any way they could.

When my junior show career ended, my family and I continued to raise Angus cattle. We began selling more cattle and continued to show in open shows on the local and national level. I also began working for other Angus families clipping and fitting while I attended college.

It’s so funny where God leads you even when you think you have a plan in place. I had turned down a judging scholarship to stay close to home to work on my cattle and focus on a career in education. I graduated college with a degree in secondary education in social studies and quickly found a teaching job at the same high school from which both my mother and I had graduated. I was also showing on the weekends and helping with junior shows in the summer. I began my first year teaching and that fall I met my now husband, Tyler, at a cattle show in Pennsylvania. We dated long distance and 3 years later, we were married. I packed up some of my Angus cattle (we were a package deal) left my family, job, and home in Maryland to relocate to Modoc, Indiana. I began

working in the Shorthorn cattle show barn full time in between traveling back and forth to visit my family and friends. After 5 years of marriage, Tyler and I have expanded our family with the birth of our daughter Piper in July 2014. My parents have also relocated along with the rest of our Angus herd to Indiana.

Today my husband Tyler manages Cates Farms in partnership with his father, Brian, and uncle, Randy. Tyler’s grandfather Rex began the farm, and now in its third generation, it continues to be a family run operation. Cates Farms is a well-known Shorthorn operation that has had a lot of success on a state, regional, and national level by producing over 20 national or reserve champion Shorthorn females and 15 national or reserve national champion Shorthorn bulls. I sometimes refer to Tyler’s passion for cattle as a sickness. To say he eats, sleeps, and breathes the cattle industry would be extremely accurate. However, Tyler’s knowledge, experience and hard work have helped to expand and improve what my family and I started many years ago with our small Angus herd.

Tyler and I, along with my parents Bob Hill and Marlene Dukehart, continue to increase our Sunrise Sunset Farm Angus herd. Last year we added Angus heifer calves to our annual Labor Day weekend Cates Farms Star Search sale and this year we held our first spring online Angus sale.

It truly amazes me the places I have been, the opportunities I have been afforded, and people I have met all because of a love for cattle. I would not trade it for the world! •

n today’s society, many people downplay the notion of working with their family. Contrary to the belief that it is better to cut family ties in business, the agriculture industry has insight to the fact that the harmony of a family working together can produce a successful and strong business unmatched by anything else. As Gregg observes “You can’t hire the invested interest my family has in the beef industry.” Mid Continent Farms is a fifth generation farm family located in Washington, Kansas. The MCF partnership raises and sells show steers and breeding stock across the United States. The entire operation is a family effort composed of Gregg and Debbie Stewart along with their three boys, Garrett, Brigham, and Tucker; Conrad and Deanna Stewart; and brother, Kent Stewart, with his children Derek and Devon. Each member contributes in their own way to help make MCF the operation it is today.

Mid Continent Farms is more than a cattle ranch. Although the family roots in the cattle industry date back to 1916, Mid Continent Farms began when Gregg and Kent were traveling as members of the Colby Community College and Kansas State University livestock judging teams. They networked with cattle producers across the country during judging practice to get their cattle business started. From A.I. work to purchasing cattle, the Stewarts operation was well under way when Gregg and Kent were only seventeen and nineteen years old. Being centrally located, the name “Mid Continent Chianina” was coined by their Colby Community College teammate Dennis Aherin, but was later changed to Mid Continent Farms as the Stewarts expanded their business to include multiple breeds. MCF received business from coast to coast and from Canada to Central America. Now, over half a century later, Mid Continent Farms still offers the quality and service that it was first founded on. For the Stewart family, it is more than just selling cattle; it is supporting their show families with everything from show day

preparation to feed management. It is working together as a team to be the best possible.

If you are ever in Eastern Kansas or run into one of the Stewarts at a livestock event, it is obvious that there is a passion and dedication to what they do - whether it is in the show ring, promoting a bull in the yards at Denver, working at the ranch, or supporting a customer. Michael J. Fox once said, “Family is not an important thing. It’s everything.” Mid Continent Farms and the Stewart Family have based their lives on this statement, combined it with the breeding and promotion of cattle, and, as a result, impacted the livestock industry as a whole with their genetics and expertise.

They have always taken a practical approach to raising show steers. They are a little more main stream than the show industry! They utilize Embryo Transfer to raise most of their show steers but with the flip of a switch, use a different sire with those same donors that produce outstanding females and show heifers. They focus on their main cow herd to continue bettering their genetic base to produce good cattle. This has always been their go to place to find the kind of females that are easily mated to the bulls of today. If you attend a sale there may be a few sires that you haven’t heard of but within a couple years those are the females that raise their cattle. MCF have a lineup of bulls from the past that have made their Angus herd cutting edge and a perfect outcross to most of the Angus cattle out there. Rock Star is a new bull that you might want to check out.

They have been in the hunt or won nearly every major show in America in the last 20 odd years and have a lineup of cattle that will be for sale this fall that proves they are still in the game and strive to produce high quality cattle.

Conrad, Deanna, Gregg, Debbie, Garrett, Brigham, Tucker, Kent, Devon, Derek along with the generations before and the generations to come make The Stewart family and Mid Continent Farms Legendary in the Livestock Industry. We look forward to seeing what is in store. •

THANKYOU!GEARING UP FOR THE 2016 JUNIOR NATIONALS!

BY BRIAN J. REID, CO

There are no other shows quite like Junior Nationals. While they are extremely competitive, I have found that they are more laid back then shows like the American Royal or NAILE. It is always fun to see exhibitors compete not only in the show ring, but in speaking competitions, cook-offs, fitting contests, poster contests and state displays. It is cool to see youth exhibit their cattle as an individual, and compete as a state as well! Junior Nationals are always a big event. This year will be no different!

We always look forward to Junior Nationals every summer. Our first Junior National that we covered as a magazine was Maine Junior Nationals in Lawton, Oklahoma in 2007. Since then, we have covered Junior Nationals of multiple breeds in Kansas City, Murphreesboro, Spencer, Lima, Grand Island,

Springfield and Denver! My favorite part about these events are seeing National Shows come to smaller towns and cities like Spencer, IA and Lima, OH. We always enjoy covering these shows every summer with social media posts and videos!

This summer we will be traveling to Grand Island, NE for Maine and Chi Junior Nationals June 17-24. In addition to our normal coverage of the event, we will also be sharing some exciting new videos! From there, we head to Madison, WI to cover Hereford Junior Nationals! We look forward to seeing everyone at both shows this summer!

Good Luck at Junior Nationals!

FUNfacts

We took a trip to French Lick, Indiana to see the elephants at the Wilstem Ranch where they stay until September when

they go back to Florida. We were able to help wash 4 elephants. We were able to

scrub them down with Murphy Oil soap and then rinse them off. This may have been the best experience of our lives! If

you are ever in Southern Indiana, this is a must do experience!

MESSAGE

Some of my greatest memories with my dad were days we spent working together with the horses and cattle on our farm. My dad was in real estate most of my growing up years and he said it was very stressful at times. Especially in the late seventies and early eighties when interest rates went through

the roof. During those times he seemed to carry a heavy load trying to balance the business of providing for our family and keeping balance in his life.

One day we had an exceptionally good day with the work in the corral doctoring up all the cows and even took a long horse back ride around our 250-acre farm to just wind down from the day. I remember saying to my him, “Dad this is one of the best days ever!” And I remember him saying, “Yeah son, me too!”. It felt so good seeing my dad enjoy his hard work with the cattle.

Many years later my dad explained that our cows were a great passion of his and were a hobby and stress reliever. I can honestly say one of the happiest times I ever saw my dad during those very stressful years was while we were out on the farm taking care of cattle, horses and baling way too many square bales of hay to feed them

WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN LIFE.BY PASTOR RANDY DAVIS, LIMA, OH

HOW WE MET RANDYWe met Randy Davis when we visited Lima, Ohio for Maine Junior Nationals back in 2012. He is the Winegardner family's pastor. They had asked him to give a sermon during the show. We were greatly impressed with Randy. Since then, we have listened to his sermons in our office from time to time. When Brad Winegardner came out to Colorado to judge our show we visited about having Randy write a message for our upcoming issues. We hope you enjoy his message!

and every other animal in Pope County, Arkansas. It was hard work, but a different kind of hard. We did it together and I never felt more important than those days working with my dad doing something we both loved.

You see, though I was only 10-14 years old during that time, I could always see the struggle in my dad’s eyes of worrying over us and providing well for our family. I am sure he did everything he could to try and hide the stress of life, but I loved my dad and I could always tell when he was struggling. Every kid wants their parents to be happy and enjoying life. We can tell when our parents try too hard to please us and sometimes go to great lengths to please us even at their own expense.

My dad wasn’t very good at relaxing or taking time off. We didn’t take very many vacations. Even as I write this I realize that fun to him was working very hard on our farm. Sounds like a contradiction of terms. Hard work = stress relief. I wonder how many of our kids can see the stress in our eyes over the load that we carry to provide for our families and the hobbies of showing animals? Is it stress or stress relief to you? I am pretty sure for many of us in the show world we probably started out just to compete and be involved and show our kids some responsibility. And then a little success happens, the drive to get better comes and then the stress and some, if not all of the fun, leaves the barn or arena.

Has this happened at your house? Dads how are you doing at handling the business of showing animals? Is it personal to you? Is pride getting the best of you? Are you having fun in all the hard work you are doing to give your kids an opportunity that most other kids never

get. Are you finding ways to keep your balance in the midst of all of this? Do you take regular vacations to get away from it all?

I want you to imagine with me a torpedo level. They are about 6 inches long and they are used to tell if something is level or not. Most of us have one laying around the barn or garage. If you can, I want you to grab one and take good long look at it and see how hard it is to hold it with the “Bubble in the Middle” with your hand. Without setting it on something it is not very steady. One of the challenges God has given to me is keeping balance in my life and not allowing everyone and everything to keep pulling me off center.

Believe it or not, one of the things I do to keep my “Bubble in the Middle” is go into the barn every morning to feed and water our horses. Sometimes I even scoop the poop. I guess I learned from my dad that you can find stress relief in working with your hands. Most of my days are spent with people and the tough things they face in their lives. For me to do something outside involving those huge animals called horses that I love so much, is so far out of my norm that it is actually fun to me. Granted, we do not raise horses for a living, so for me to work with them is fun.

My questions are, “What are you doing for fun?” What do you do to make life fun for your family? They see the stress in your life whether you think they do or not. If showing is stress to you, it will be stress to them. I always told my daughter when she was preparing to show her horse, that there were hundreds of kids in Allen County, Ohio that would love to ride a horse today the way you get to. So go out and ride him the

best you can and if you win a ribbon, that is a bonus. I did my best to try and keep it fun. You know what caused the stress to come in her competitions? Getting some ribbons. But it always seemed that when she ran for ribbons we didn’t get very many, but when she rode for the fun of riding she got one in almost every class.

So what really matters in life? Keeping our priorities in line and teaching our children to work hard and take responsibility for themselves. But the best way that we can do it is to lead by example. So, how are you doing at keeping your “Bubble in the Middle”. If you are in the show business, you may need to find something other than farming to keep your “Bubble in the Middle”. You might need a couple of weeks on a beach somewhere away from the stresses of your everyday life. We all need to make sure we are doing things to keep our “Bubble in the Middle” so we can lead by example to our children how to do life and live life to the full.

What does really matter in life?

Philippians 1:9-10: “I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to

understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return.” NLT

Loving each other really matters. Loving our family enough to keep our “Bubble in the Middle” with balance really matters. Growing in our knowledge and love of God and doing life His way, really matters. No matter how off balance you may be, it is amazing how easy we can pull it back to center with just a few decisions and strong disciplines in our life.

My desire is to motivate you to Live your life to the full and not just survive. God has a plan for your life and He is there for you if you will only reach out to Him and make some time for Him in your busy schedule. Don’t ever be too busy for Him! He is better at keeping our lives in balance than we are. My prayer for each reader this month is to remember the good of what we get to do and to keep balance in it all so it remains something that is enjoyable for our entire family.

I too am working to keep my “Bubble in the Middle!” So let’s help each other on this journey of life. •
