On top of that, this bull has the genuine makeup to construct some of the best females introduced to the club calf industry in a long time. His dam, WAG Hairietta, has absolutely been the most prolific Who Made Who female of all time. Breathe Easy is sired by the great Cowan’s Ali, which should ensure this high quality genetics to be carried on throughout Breathe Easy’s progeny.

Grand Champion Steer, 2011 KentuCKy Beef exposired by eye Candy • Congratulations martin family!

What more can be said about this great sire? He continues to impress with his consistent ability to throw champion after champion. Eye Candy is certainly making his name known in the club calf industry. In just a short time, his calves have been selling high and win-ning across the country. His calves are yak haired, super sound and soft bellied with the show ring eye appeal. Eye Candy has had great success on Maine, Chi and Char and Hereford cows. Especially on the Hoo Doo cows. His daughters are becoming one of the hottest commodities for club calf mommas. Eye Candy is the MUST USE sire of 2011. He just doesn’t miss!

From the Rodeo Arena...

...to the Show Ring


Capped, a new twist on our Faces + Places feature on page 122.

We all agreed to dedicate this issue toward junior nationals! Junior nationals are all about exhibitors - the foundation of The Show-times. We hope to reach as many exhibitors of every age with this issue. We are positive that there is something for everyone!

Not only have we added a new is-sue this year, we've also been busy working on a brand new website! Be sure to check it out by going to theshowtimesmagazine.com!

We look forward to seeing many of our friends this summer in Kansas City for the Maine-Anjou / Chianina / Charolais junior nation-als! Good luck at all of the shows!

Sincerely,

Laurie ReidOwner

I hope you enjoy reading our first ever May/June Junior National Edition. What was a 30 page newsletter last year has transformed

into a 162 page magazine! It also happens to be our largest maga-zine ever printed! We've packed this issue with more informa-tion than ever before with more show results, more junior national previews, and some cool new features!

First, we would like to congratu-late Amanda, Kirbe and Sydney Schnoor on becoming our new Hall of Fame Members! Be sure to read our Hall of Fame feature starting on page 56. Since many of the junior nationals are held in Kansas City this summer we thought we would bring back our Travel Stop feature for this issue. Grinders is a very unique Travel Stop that has been featured on TV. Our new features include From our Readers on page 12 and Back to Class on page 60! Both are great additions that we think you will like! We've also included

A Magazine that is More than Just Ads

NATIONAL WESTERN STOCK SHOW’S FUTURE:ALL OPTIONS ARE STILL OPEN!Paul Andrews, President and CEO of National Western Stock Show made the following statement regarding the 106-year old Denver tradition and any rumors about future plans.

“ NWSS has been researching options for relocation or rebuild-ing on our current site for more than five years. The process continues and an announcement will be made when we have something to report. Nothing has been finalized at this time. As has been common in past years, many rumors will surface from various factions throughout the state. We will stay focused on working with the city of Denver and finding the right solution for the long term success of the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo”.

The Maine-Anjou breed originated in the northwestern part of France. This area is excellent for beef productionas it has both grassland and tillable land.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the cattle in this region were large, well muscled animals with lightred coats spotted with white. These cattle were known as the Mancelle breed. In addition to their size andmuscling, the Mancelle has a reputa-tion for their easy fattening. Laclere-Thouin, an agriculturist, wrotein 1843 that on the community pastures of the Auge Valley, the Mancelle “were the last to be put onto thegrass, but were the first to be picked out to go to the markets in the capital city”.

In 1839 the Count de Falloux, a land-owner, imported Durham cattle from England and crossed them withthe Mancelle. The cross was extremely successful, and by 1850 Durham-Man-celle animals were winningchampionships at the French agri-cultural fairs. In 1908, the Society of Durham-Mancelle Breeders was formed at Chateau-Gontier in the May-enne district. In 1909, the name was changed to the Society of Maine-Anjou

Cattle Breeders, taking the name from the Maine and Anjou River valleys.

The Society has worked steadily for the improvement of the breed. Breeders of the cattle were mostly small farmers whose goal was to maximize income from their small area of land. For thisreason, the Maine-Anjou evolved as a dual-purpose breed, with the cows used for milk production and the bull calves fed for market. It is still common on many farms to find Maine-Anjou being milked. In many herds, half the cows are milked and the other half raise two calves each.

The Maine-Anjou is one of the larger breeds developed in France, with ma-ture bulls weighing from 2,200to 3,100 pounds on average. Mature cows will range from 1,500 to 1,900 pounds. The coloring is very darkred with white markings on the head, belly, rear legs and tail. White on other parts of the body is also common.The first Maine-Anjou imported into North America came to Canada in 1969. These cattle were then intro-duced to the United States through artificial insemination.

The Maine-Anjou Society, Inc. was incorporated in Nebraska in 1969, and

included both American andCanadian members. In 1971, the name was changed to the International Maine-Anjou Association and head-quarters were set up in the Livestock Exchange Building in Kansas City, Missouri. In 1976, the name waschanged to the American Maine-Anjou Association. In 2001, the American Maine-Anjou Associationpurchased a building in Platte City, Missouri as headquarters.

Modern day Maine-Anjou are more solid in color pattern than their ances-tors with a large percentage ofregistered American Maine-Anjou cattle being black in color. The Maine-Anjou breed excels in performance/feed efficiency, disposition and superb carcass traits. Dominance of feeding trials coupled with favorablereturns on dollars invested have made Maine-Anjou cattle a feedlot man-ager’s dream.M

The Charolais Heritage ...a Brief HistoryNo other breed has impacted the North American beef industry so significantly as Charolais. These white cattle have changed beef production concepts as much or more than the original British breeds did for the gaunt Longhorn in the American Southwest more than a century ago.

The Charolais breed has changed the nation’s thinking regarding efficient beef production standards. Cha-rolais cattle have demonstrated a definite superiority in growth ability, efficient feedlot gains and carcass cut-out values. Today, Charolais top all breeds in nearly every category of performance in the records of beef performance testing organizations.

The first Charolais came into the United States from Mexico in 1934. From that beginning, the breed grew rapidly. In the late 1940s and early 1950s the breeders established the American Charbray Breeders As-sociation and the American Charolais Breeders Association, both of which limited pedigrees to a blend of Charolais and Brahman breeding. Producers who were utilizing other beef breed cows to produce Charo-lais by compounding Charolais blood through successive generations, formed the International Charolais Association. In 1957, the American and International Associations merged into today’s American-Inter-national Charolais Association (AICA). In 1964, the Pan-American Charolais Association, whose registra-tions were based on performance rather than genetic content, merged into the AICA. And three years later, the American Charbray Breeders Association merged with the AICA, bringing all Charolais-based breeds in the United States under the fold of a single breed registry.

SHOW SCHEDULE

This schedule is tentative and subjuct to change.


The Shorthorn breed originated on the Northeastern coast of England in the counties of Northcumberland, Durham, York and Lincoln . The first real de-velopment of the breed occurred in the valley of the Tees River about 1600. The large framed cattle that inhabited this fertile valley became known as Teeswater cattle.

The breed later spread to Scotland and then to America in 1783. When first brought to Virginia , the breed had attained the name Durham . It was the first improved breed to be imported into the new world and the qualities the animal possessed made it in great de-mand and its influence spread rapidly across America .

Shorthorns were popular with America ’s early settlers. They valued this breed for meat and milk and found Short-horns a willing power for the wagon and plow. The breed followed pioneer wagons across the Great Plains and into the far West. By 1854, Midwestern farmers had begun direct importations from Scotland , concentrating their efforts on Shorthorns strictly for beef production.

Even in its early history, the breed was recognized because of its ability to adapt. It could be easily bred with the

Spanish breed, Longhorns, brought in earlier by conquistadors. These early animals fit neatly in the time period to meet demand and needs during the early development of the beef cattle industry.

Although Shorthorns came first, in the 1870’s breeders discovered ‘natural hornless’ cattle occurring from time-to-time in horned herds. Thus, Polled Shorthorns were discovered and were the first major beef breed to be de-veloped in the United States , having gained its origin in 1881 in Minnesota . Polled Shorthorns possess the same qualities for adaptability, mothering ability, reproductive performance, good disposition, feed conversion, longevity and popularity as their horned counter-parts.

In 1822, the first herd book record was established by Shorthorn breed-ers called the Coates Herd Book. In 1846 The American Shorthorn Herd Book was the first to be published in this country for any breed, with the formation of the American Shorthorn Association (ASA) following 26 years later in 1872. Breeders from nine states formulated the organization, wishing to provide a service for its members and a way to record ancestry through the registration of Shorthorns. The ASA

is one of the oldest American breed organizations in existence today.

Today the ASA has an Appendix Registry (AR) program, which includes ShorthornPlus and Durham Red reg-istered cattle, which has been ongoing since 1973 with the intent to promote and verify Shorthorn influence in com-mercial production. This program has strengthened the Shorthorn influence by increasing numbers and providing additional germ plasm through the use of related and non-related breeds. The ASA is the only British breed with an ongoing Appendix program document-ing the influence of related and non-related breeds in the breed registry.

The ASA records approximately 18,000 animals each year. More than 30,000 head are maintained in the associa-tion’s whole herd registry. The current membership is in excess of 3,000 adult members, with more than 4,500 juniors on the membership roll.

He works on a variety of different cows, preferably Maine based but he also works well on Angus and Simmy percentage cattle.

Whizard Semen $20/unitOwned by Griswold Cattle, J Land Cattle Co., Gray Show Cattle, and Guyer Cattle Co.

Whizard is extra big bodied, sound and big topped. He is moder-ate and heavy structured. Lastly and perhaps most importantly is the cow power that lies on the bottom side. He hails from the same dam as GCC Cerveza, one of the greatest known Whiskey son’s to date. With his baldy face, his head turning style, and the greatness of pedigree on top and bottom, Whizard is a must use sire for the coming year.

If you’re needing a shot of maternal in your cow base, use the magic of the Whizard to add some pizzazz. He should also work well when mated to club calf composite genetics needing extra body, volume and hair. His calves are just arriving at GCC and look way good! BW 82 lbs.

PrintingThe ShowtimesDesigning, Printing, and Delivering a Magazine.BY BRIAN J. REID, OWNER / EDITOR, THE SHOWTIMES MAGAZINE

Behind the Scenes

The Showtimes Magazine is viewed nation wide by readers in over 40 states and even Canada. Each issue is filled with show results, articles, special features, and ads. Before each issue reaches your mailbox, it takes months of work and preparation from designing, printing, to delivery. Below are the steps it takes to bring you one issue of The Showtimes. We’ve included photos of our January 2011 Stock Show Edition while it was being printed earlier this year.

DESIGN Each magazine starts as a blank document on our com-puter. We talk about what features and theme the upcoming issue will have. Some ideas are worked on for many months before an issue is even started. For example, we are already busy working on our January / February 2012 issue.Before any ads are designed, we add page numbers, designs ele-ments, subscription forms, and work on the general layout of that issue. Then we start working on designing ads, inserting show results, and writing articles for that issue. As the deadline approaches we must work longer hours in order to finish each issue. Our deadline is extremely important because each issue has to be

finished on time and sent to the printer. Due to dated material and upcoming shows/sales, each is-sue cannot be delivered late. We conclude the design process by checking page numbers, designing our contents page, completing our index of advertisers, and proofing.

PRINTING Once the magazine is complete, it is sent to our printer (Publication Printers Corp.) in Denver, Colorado. The printer takes our file and prepares the magazine to print on their presses. After more proofing, adjusting colors, and making final correc-tions, the magazine is printed. After the magazine is printed, it is UV coated, perfect bound, and boxed for delivery. Subscriptions

are bagged and address labels are added.

DELIVERY The final step is de-livering The Showtimes to you, the reader. Subscriptions are mailed out and boxes are delivered na-tion wide. We would like to thank many of our friends including Matt Miller, Bob May, Joe Sul-livan, Kenny Thies, the Schnoor family, the Humphrey family, Jon Gevelinger, Brad Henderson, Kassi and Chance Bauman, Kirby Eaves, Travis Otterstad, Ryan Jones, Krisha Custis, Twisted Stitch, Matt Lautner, Chris Wilson, Bo Sanders and many others who have helped distribute our maga-zine to shows and sales nation wide! ▪

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” Genesis 2:7

It’s calving season at our place. There is nothing like the birth of a calf. It still gives me chills when they take their first breath. I’ll never forget the

first time my kids were there. They watched as I straightened the legs and inched the calf out of his momma. “What’s that?” they asked when the calf ’s motionless head emerged. I smiled because the miracle was close. Suddenly, what was a slimy black mass took a breath and they stepped back in amazement. “God was right here!” my little McKenna said with eyes the size of frying pans. From the mouths of babes. There is wonder and awe in that new little life. It makes all the work, and cost, to keep this place going, worth every penny. It’s like the whole world is born anew when that little one takes their first breath. And there’s nothing, absolutely nothing, more crushing to me than when they don’t take that breath, and you deliver a lifeless calf. Think about it for a minute. I don’t care how much evolu-tionary theory (which I bought hook line and sinker until I finally started thinking through the FACT that it’s impossible) you may have swallowed – life is a mind boggling, awesome miracle! And there’s only one expla-nation……God our Creator. My wife rented a movie about the CSU profes-

sor Temple Grandon (I hope I spelled her name right). I was fascinated each time she would watch a fat calf die in a locker plant. She would scream out, “Where did it go? It was there and then it was gone!” What happened? The breath of life, the spirit, left the body, and as she said in the movie, “…then it was just beef ”. Following in the footsteps of the kosher laws pro-scribed in the Torah (the first 5 books of the Bible), Professor Grandon sought to find the most painless way to take the breath of life from cattle and convert them into the product we produce. I know it’s tough to think about the purpose of those bouncing baby bull calves outside our win-dow right now. If there’s any “animal rights” folks reading this- email me and we’ll sit down and I’ll walk you through the cruelty of keeping an ani-mal beyond their useful life. I will tell you this, from the bottom of my soul, life is precious and fragile, and it has meaning! Your life, every breath that God has given you is precious. And that breath of life, that wondrous gift from God, will someday leave these bodies and return to the One that gave it. Our spirits are eternal, and we will all live forever, either in the presence of our Maker or in eternal separation from Him depending on where we stand with His Son, Jesus Christ- Who died so that we may live and live a truly meaningful and abundant life. What are you doing with the limited and precious gift of life God has given you? Are you making a difference in

this world for Him? Seek Him, seek the Truth, and seek His purpose for your life….then give Him the reins and let go. It is the most awesome ride you can ever imagine. ▪

Schnoor SistersAmanda, Kirbe & Sydney Schnoor of Chowchilla, California are our new Hall of Fame Members

Hall of Fame

The Schnoor Sisters Story began with the help and support of their parents but mostly because of a

shy 9 year old who saw a future in the black cattle that stood in a dirt pen. Since then Amanda has come a long ways, from show to show, traveling the country and competing on many different levels in the livestock industry. Now 25 and a teacher at Modesto Junior College, she looks back at all the things and one being involved in the National Junior Angus Association and serving as the Foundation Director, in which

she took great pride in being apart of such an amazing and impacting organization. Amanda attended Modesto Junior College where she was on the judging team and furthered her education at Oregon State University where she ended her judging career as well as her education. She graduated and went onto University of Missouri when an opportunity became available to teach at one of her alma maters MJC and she took full advantage. Now living in Modesto, many things keep her occupied. From her classroom to her team to the livestock units at the school farm. She enjoys every minute of it. Still

traveling from show to show with little sister Sydney, she was bred to be a part of this industry forever and she plans to do so.

While Kirbe was skeptical on the whole showing thing, she grew a strong appreciation and love for all that it had to offer. Some would say she didn’t have a choice, but following in the footsteps of her big sister was her best bet. The moment she would enter the ring at every show, she knew this is exactly what she wanted to be do-ing. Not only following Amanda’s footsteps of showing cattle, she also was on the National Junior

Angus Association Board of Directors where she served as Chairman. Both will say it was one of their best decisions and greatest life experiences and they wouldn’t trade it for the world. While Kirbe hasn’t had much time for shows since retiring off the board and no longer competing in the ring, she remains very active back home. Attending California State University, Fresno studying Mass Communications and Journal-ism where she will be graduating in the fall with an emphasis in broadcast journalism, Kirbe has taken all life has had to offer. Getting involved in on-campus clubs and being a member of the sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma. While having a few internships with California’s Water Coali-tion and Sebastion Channel 2 sports radio and television, her future goals include attending law school and furthering her career in journalism. While her future endeavors have kept her from the industry recently she still sees the livestock industry as a huge part of her life and is thankful that little sister Sydney is still showing.

Sydney a high school Freshman, is so glad to have had older sisters that have opened up the doors to allow her to be involved and show. Much like the other two, she has lots of goals for her future. She has taken full advantage of what high school has to offer, being a class officer and a part of several clubs as well as playing volleyball and basketball and finding time to play travel ball while making sure she still has time to attend shows. Keeping Dad and Mom busy at home, they still have a few more years of the show world and they are glad they have gotten to be a part of it for so long. Syd-ney loves getting to know everyone and looks forward to meeting new people when she travels to shows. All three have said none of this would have been possible without all the help from people they have met in the industry, friends and family. While there are so many to thank they show great amounts of gratitude towards those individuals who have been a part of their suc-cess within the show ring as well as The Nation-al Junior Angus Association who has truly been such an impacting organization in their lives. ▪

Judi Riordan-LolliBehind Every Showman is a Show Mom

BY JUDI RIORDAN-LOLLI

I come in from helping my son, Joseph with chores and my cell phone is beeping. I check my messages and one is from my friend Lisa Reid. She says, “Hi Judi. Just calling ‘cause I haven’t talked to you. I have a question for

you, too. Call me when you have time. Thanks.” I call my friend; we visit for a while, and then she asked me: “Why do the boys show cattle and what do you think about them showing?” My first thought was: Because they enjoy show-ing cattle. But that is only part of the answer……

I am Judi Riordan-Lolli from Macon, Missouri and my oldest son loves to show cattle. I have been involved with cattle since I was a little girl. My father, John Riordan, was herdsman and man-ager for operations in the both the Angus and the Brangus breed. My brothers and I worked at the cow/ calf operations calving, AI-ing, and with the show cattle. My “Pop”, as we called him, showed many national champions in the both the Angus and Brangus breeds. My brothers and I loved showing and being on the show road with the cattle and meeting new people who became good friends. Showing cattle reinforced what my parents always taught us: respect for others, responsibility, and how to communicate with people.

When I married Frankie Lolli and moved to

Macon, Missouri, where his family owns and oper-ates a livestock market, I thought my show days were gone. I thought I would only get to be around the show barn when I was working in Kansas City at the American Royal. Then along came our two sons, Joseph and Jordan. When Joseph was 11years old, my days of brushing cattle started all over again. Joseph joined 4-H and needed a project. I asked Joseph what he would like to show and he said a

steer. I talked with my Pop and he said “call Bobby May and see what he has

for sale.” So I called Bobby and we talked about steers for Joseph. The American Royal was coming up and Bobby said to have Jo-seph come hang out with Brock.

So Joseph helped out and Bobby made him feel like he was part of

their team and Joseph was hooked! We got our first calf in 2004 and when he walked

off the trailer Joseph said, I am naming him “Max-Million”. He was a great calf and Joseph had a great year showing! As soon as we got home from the last show, Joseph was ready to get his next steer.

A couple of years later, both boys were showing and their Papa was always there to assist in feeding and getting the calves rinsed daily. The boys always had to be at the barn to feed, rinse, and turn out. If they had a lot of homework or football practice, they would call Papa and tell him they would not be over to rinse and feed but they would want to turn out.


As time has gone by, the boys have showed cattle and played sports. Two years ago, Jordan decided he would just help Joseph and not show. Last year Joseph chose to not play football and just show his calves and take care of his cow herd. Joseph also works at the livestock market. Joseph is now 18 years old and graduates from high school this year. Jordan is now 15 years old and a freshman in high school. Although my boys have never won a major steer show or a junior heifer show, they always enjoy

going to the cattle shows. I guess the reason I let my boys show are the same reasons I showed with my Pop. They have learned respect, responsibility, how to communicate with people and we have family time. Being in the barn with Pop, my sons, and my husband …… it doesn’t get any better than that! I believe that one day my sons will look back and say, “when we were showing cattle, it was hard work but worth it because we had great family time.” ▪

Winning this show was the best feeling I’ve had during the time I have been showing cattle. It was like I was going to blow up because I was so excited, their were so many great calves being shown. That day I woke up I had a funny feeling and that feeling ended up being something very great. I am from a family of seven and a ranch of about 350 head of cattle along with horses, dogs and my sisters pigs. I have been showing since I was 8 and have enjoyed every bit of it. I also like to rodeo, play basketball, foot-ball, and hang out with friends. I am appreciative of all the support this weekend, I couldn’t have asked for more, and the people that have helped me along the way. Having faith and hope will lead to great things. Thanks to my family for helping me get the win this weekend.

Bronze Market SteerKyra Stierwalt, Leedey, OK

I am a 17 year old junior at Luther high school. I along with my parents Lindell and Shawna Stults live on a family owned cow calf operation, in Luther, Oklahoma. I currently serve as the secretary of the Luther FFA chapter, where I am active in livestock showing and public speaking. I am also a member of the national honors society and enjoy playing golf. Upon gradua-tion I plan to attend oklahoma State University in the fall of 2012. One of my life long goals has been to win the grand champion steer at OYE, making it even more special is knowing that my family and I alone worked extremely hard to make this dream a reality.

Kayla Brown, daughter of Jar-rod and Kimberly Brown, is a junior at Merritt High School, near Elk City, OK. She is active in FFA, softball, and basket-ball. Kayla has been showing livestock for seven years. She just recently (3 years) starting showing sheep. She is presently the secretary of the Merritt FFA Chapter. Her advisor is Brandon Womack. Kayla plans on using her award money to purchase more show animals and for college tuition.

Hello everyone! My name is Mercedes Hardin from Hennessey, Oklahoma and I was the 2011 Oklahoma Youth Expo Grand Champion Market Goat. I'm 18 years old and I am a senior at Hennessey High School. I have been involved with the show industry since the time I was born. My parents say that the first stock show I ever attended was when I was just a few months old. Al-though I don't remember much about that particular show, looking at the pictures of it now I realize that it was just the start of many. I showed sheep from the time I was nine until I turned fifteen, then I made the switch to goats. Now, I just finished up my career at this OYE. I am extremely fortunate for all the success I have had during my journey in the show ring. I will graduate this May from Hennessey High School has an Honors Graduate. After that I plan on attending Redlands Community College majoring in Agricul-tural Business. After that I plan to attend Oklahoma State University to attain a degree in Agricultural Leadership.Good Luck and Happy Showing - Mercedes Hardin :)

Hi, I’m Lexie Schaefer! I am the daugh-ter of Doug and Karen Schaefer of Garden City, Texas. I am a 15 year old freshman at Garden City High School. I have a sister Halie (21), and two brothers, Levi (19) and Ian (17). Aside from showing pigs, I play bas-ketball and participate in UIL academics. As a fam-ily, we have been raising pigs for nine years, and I have been showing for seven. Most of our fam-ily time is spent on our animals, and I am very thankful that we have had the chance to be involved in showing livestock. Winning grand champion at any show, especially a show as prestigious as the Houston Livestock Show, is a great honor and achievement that my family dreamed of, but never thought we would actually make happen. Winning means a great deal to my family and me, because of the hard work and determination that it took to come this far. Going from having a handful of sows and starting at the bottom of the show chain to raising and exhibiting the grand champion of Houston gives us a great sense of accomplishment. It has taught me that persis-tence and determination can get you whatever you work for. Showing pigs is definitely a family endeavor, and the win would not have meant near as much if my family wouldn’t have been there to celebrate it with me. I never could have done this without my family and friends, and I would like to thank them for all of their help, love and support.

Hedeman FamilyFrom the Rodeo Arena to the Show Ring

BY TRACY HEDEMAN, TX

TRACY’S LIVESTOCK SHOWING BACKGROUNDI grew up on a Horned Hereford Ranch in Haslet, Texas where my dad (Jack Stepp) was the Ranch manager for 2 years where he ran about 500 cows at the ranch. We moved to Justin when I was 15 years old and my dad started to work for Bingham Limousin Ranch, it was a much smaller ranch but we had lots of show cattle. I helped my dad with the show cattle and traveled with him to all the stock shows and showed all the cattle for the ranch. When that ranch sold out we went to work for M&L Limousin ranch and I was in college at Oklahoma State but I still went to stock shows and showed the cattle. I had the op-portunity to get involved with the Jr. Limousin Assocition and show at state and national shows. I was

Article

very lucky to get to show lots of good heifers over the years at these ranches. My dad and I made a pretty good team. My dad and

mom still help me with the cows we raise today.

It has been fun for our boys to show Limousin cattle and see friends I grew up showing with still involved with show-ing. I have made a lot of friends over the years going to stock shows then and now.

When Tuff and I met we were in college and he was rodeoing in college and professionally and I was at stock shows show-ing cattle.

TUFF’S RODEOBACKGROUNDTuff’s rodeo career began junior rodeo competition entering various New Mexico Junior Rodeo Association competi-

tions, taking him onto high school competitions and then to National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association rodeos, competing for Sul Ross


University rodeo team in Alpine, TX. He qualified for his first NFR in 1984 in bull riding, the first of 12 qualifications and the last year the rodeo was held in Oklahoma City. In 1986, he won his first PRCA World title and also made Tracy his wife in on May 25. Then in 1989, he garnered his sec-ond bull riding title, the same year that his good friend and traveling partner Lane Frost lost his life.

Tuff’s third PRCA world title for bull riding came in 1991. Tuff’s career earnings surpassed $1 million in 1993. He continued to compete in the PRCA while also becoming a founding member of the Professional Bull Riders, holding the title of president. In 1995, he brought home the world

PBR title while having a close encounter with the famed Boda-cious. In 1997, Tuff was inducted into the PRCA ProRodeo Hall of Fame. In 2003, the Championship Bull Riding organization came to life. Currently, Tuff if the president of the Championship Bull Riding and produces numerous bull riding events throughout the country.

LANE AND TREVOR SHOWINGLane is 19 years old, he started showing in 4-H when he was 9 and continued through high school showing in FFA. Lane’s first heifer was an Angus heifer he won the county show with her and she won many division and reserve Divisions. That heifer had a bull calf her first calf and he is what we use to breed our cows that are

not registered Limousin. He also showed steers. Then he started showing Limousin heifers. He has cows (ex show heifers) that he breeds now to try to raise some show heifers and steers.

Trevor also started showing when he was 9 in 4-H and now he is 9th grade and shows through FFA. He has shown steers and Limou-sin heifers. Between Lane and Trevor they have had the Grand Champion heifer at our County show since they started showing. In 2009 Lane showed a heifer named “Ubetcha” that he bought his Sr. year to show. Lane showed “Ubetcha” as a calf his senior year and she was Division champion or reserve at all the stock shows and was Grand Champion at Star of Texas in Austin. Lane bought this heifer from Davis Limousin Ranch. Trevor in 2010 showed “Ubetcha” he started out at the County show with Grand Champi-on overall heifer, then, went to the Fort Worth Stock Show and had Grand Champion Limousin heifer, then at the San Antonio Livestock


show he won Grand Champion Limousin and the $10,000 scholar-ship. Trevor showed “Ubetcha” at the Houston Livestock show and Star of Texas in Austin and was Grand Champion at both shows. This is the first time in the Limousin breed history that the same heifer has won all four major shows in Texas. We were all very excited to have had the op-portunity to have a heifer like this to show and add to our breeding program. The boys have built up a pretty good set of cows over the last few years.

This year Trevor bought a heifer named “Ryder Girl” from Clint Petzold and Buckhorn Creek Limousin Ranch. He won Reserve Champion at Fort Worth and she was Grand Champion at Star of Texas in Austin. We have been blessed to have had two heifers to show that have been of this quality the last few years. The boys and I have to thank Sam Scott who I grew up showing cattle with he has always helped me pick out heifers and steers out for the boys to show and clips and fits them for us.


LANE & TREVORLane and Trevor both rope calves and team rope. They have been involved with junior rodeos and high school rodeo since they were old enough to ride. They both rode calves and steers when they were younger and decided to stick to roping, maybe they had seen too much when their dad rode bulls. They have won numer-ous buckles and over 50 saddles between the two of them and one trailer at Jr. Rodeos and Texas high school and Jr. High rodeos. Lane goes to Weatherford College on a rodeo scholarship and will attend Tarleton State next fall. Trevor is a freshman in high school and is a member of Texas High School rodeo where he ropes calves, team ropes and also is cutting, and will go to Texas State finals this sum-mer.

Lane played basketball in high school and his team made it to State playoffs two years while he was in high school, he also played golf and still enjoys playing basketball on intramural teams at college.

Trevor plays basketball, baseball and golf in high school.

This article was written aftersubscriber Al Summers, CO recognized the Hedeman heiferin our Fort Worth results. He suggested that the Hedeman family would make a great article. We wouldlike to thank the Hedeman family forsharing their story in The ShowtimesMagazine! - The Reid Family


ith no guaranteed salaries or injured reserve provisions in the sport of rodeo, these professional athletes are often left with no place to turn when faced with injuries and the accompanying financial hardship.

Recognizing that serious injuries can be traumatic enough with-out the additional burden of financial worries, the Justin Boot Company formed a partnership with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) in 1989 to establish the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund (JCCF).

The JCCF’s premise is to lend a helping hand to professional rodeo athletes and their families in the event of catastrophic injuries.

Tax deductible contributions to the Fund may be made by downloading the donation form from justincowboycrisisfund.org or by mailing a check or money order to the address below:

Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund attn: Cindy Schonholtz 101 Pro Rodeo Drive

Colorado Springs, CO 80919 888/662-JCCF (5223)

The Pro Rodeo League of Women Style Show and Luncheon is the larg-est fundraiser annually for the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund. Chaired by Tra-cy Hedeman, the luncheon has raised $1,150,260 since inception. The event continues to grow under Tracy's guid-ance and with the assistance of the host venue, the South Point Hotel and Casino. The 2010 event raised the most funding to date with an impres-sive $89, 990 in 4 hours!

The Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund is a 501-C-3 non-profit organization headquartered in Colorado Springs with the mission to offer "a hand up" to injured rodeo athletes and their families.

Just Ask Dave...

Bathing Kit It’s Gone

by: Dave Guyer, IllinoisIts now coming into summer, you are about out of school, & its time to start working on the calves harder. Spend your time on them wisely. When you rinse be sure to cool the body temp down by getting their neck, head, & chest wet and to run cool water over them long after you got them “wet”. Then work the hair a forward motion to train and don’t get in a hurry to try to get the hair to go up. After blowing your animal out work the hair by putting some oils or show sheen back into the hair & work again. Leave your calf standing for longer periods of time through out the day to build up stamina so when you get to the show they are use to stand-ing. At the end of the day and it has cooled down turn your calf out for exercise and some hay. Be sure you don’t turn out wet or with any oils in the hair as it will collect dirt and heat. Just a few helpful tips in your daily routine of properly taking care of your calf.

Thanks!

NATURAL STRIDE - Without question in the show ring todaysoundness is a necessity and with the advancements in genetics andperformance we have stressed the structure of livestock to the limits.As we continue to push the show animal of today to its highestpotential we will also see more and more movement problems.Whether it’s swelling, flexibility, joint pain or just wear and tear,Natural Stride is your answer. This revolutionary, one-of-a-kind,ALL NATURAL formula has led to dramatic results in todays showanimal. Natural Stride benefits the joint in 4 ways ...

• First, it helps modulate or “calm down” the body’s immuneresponse to joint stress - enhancing joint recovery and minimiz-ing damage from pain and activity.

• Second, cetyl myristoleate may act as an anti-inflammatory,helping to reduce the symptoms of “inflammatory arthritis”and other conditions in which inflammation can lead to slowrecovery, damaged tissues, increased pain and restricted motion.

• Third, cetyl myristoleate can stimulate joint lubrication to helprelieve stiffness, which may improve mobility and enhance thenatural range of motion.

• Finally, cetyl myristoleate has had an analgesic or “pain-killing”effect that may help to reduce joint pain, hence increasing youranimal’s comfort.

HIDE AND HAIR is the revolutionary new hair growth product fromNatural Solutions For Livestock. Not only has it been shown to grow hair butit encourages skin health which is essential for optimum hair growth. HIDEAND HAIR contains kelp and seaweed which has been shown to lower bodytemperature. Cattle will potentially take the higher or hotter temperature betterwhen going to a show. This new product comes in granulated form, is extremelypalatable, and best of all it contains no melatonin. HIDE AND HAIR is the first ofits kind designed to be administered 60-90 days before show.A bucket of HIDE AND HAIR will last 45 days per head. Hair runs in 45 day cycles soyou could start seeing results in as little as 45 days. This is a great tool to help with your suc-cess, but always remember daily hair care and management play an important roll as well. HIDEAND HAIR has no melatonin so you can not use it too long. With melatonin, there is a point where haircomes to a peak, then hair goes down hill and is hard to recover. With HIDE AND HAIR you are able toplan multiple peaks with a more consistent hair growth over a longer period of time without the valley. It isalso great for skin and hair health, so you can administer it for a longer period of time and not be a negative.

GLUCoat is a unique product that can be used to replace any oil or fat that you mightbe using. When a calf is behind in weight, not eating good, not fat enough, etc. thefirst thing a person does or thinks of is to “ADD FAT ” Studies show that feed intakeand feed efficiency go down when a feed reaches 6% or more in fat content. So put-ting fat or oils into a show feed will normally sail over that 6% mark. In return, youare defeating the purpose of adding fat and may have a negative effect on weight gain,feed intake, and feed efficiency. When too much oil or fat is used, it will coat therumen and the feed particles in the rumen which will slow down the digestion of thenutrients. GLUCoat is different ...

• GLUCoat is not a fat product.• GLUCoat is a sugar product. The unique blend of sugars keeps the rumen work-

ing longer and faster than just a single source of glucose such as cane molasses. Byspeeding up rumen activity comes increased feed intake and palatability. It has beenshown to dramatically enhance fat cover, increase feed efficiency and average dailygain.

• GLUCoat also has the Cellarator technology as it contains the active ingredientCell-rate, which aids in the process of cellular replication, supports the animal’simmune system, lowers stress levels, and aids in muscle and fat development.

• GLUCoat has a refined flavored fish oil that contains the highest levels of Omega3 Fatty Acids for joint health and naturally occurring Vitamin E which is great for skinand hair.

• GLUCoat can also increase glucose levels which is stored in the body as fat, giv-ing livestock that bloomier, fuller, softer look that is demanded in the show ring today.

• GLUCoat is molasses based and sweet to the taste, cattle love it!GLUCoat is the most widely used feed additive on the market today. It’s thenext level or generation to a fat source or supplement. You will never usea fat product again! Whether it’s market steers or breeding cattleyour calf will feel better, act better and their eating habits willchange. GLUCoat WILL KEEP YOU READY FOR THERING!!

Macy Griswold4.0 Student, FFA Member, ShowmanBY MACY GRISWOLD, PERKINS, OKLAHOMA

Meet the Exhibitor

Hi, my name is Macy Griswold, I am cur-rently a sophomore at Perkins-Tryon High School in Per-

kins, Oklahoma, and the daughter of Garfield and Angie Griswold. My family has always said that education is very important, and it is something that I have always held with high regard. I am at the top of my class with a 4.0 GPA.

I am very active in the FFA, currently holding the position of co-reporter. Livestock judg-ing is another activity I take part in. Judging is something my dad was involved with, and ever since I was nine I have strived to increase my abil-ity to one day beat my dad’s records. Showmanship contests are another one of my favorite things to participate in; they are something I look forward to every year. I am also a member of the National Honor Society. I’m pas-sionate about cheerleading as well; I have been on the squad for two years going on three.

Ever since I can remember I have

grown up around the cattle indus-try. It is something that my family has done for many generations before me. When I was younger I couldn’t wait to be old enough to tag along to the far away shows that everyone was always talking about. It was when I got my first

steer, Bugzy, that I realized that I truly had a passion for showing. I strive to reach the best of my abili-ties every day. My family is very supportive in anything I want to attempt.

Showing steers and heifers is a lifestyle that my whole family is

a part of and we cherish the mo-ments at shows when we come together to do what we love. I am the oldest grandchild on both sides of my family in which leaves a lot of responsibility. My fam-ily strongly believes in helping each other and sharing the credit

of success. I am happy to help my younger siblings; brother Colton 12, and sister Chloe 9; and cousins that are just begin-ning their showing careers. Whether we are practicing our showmanship skills, washing, feeding, or just hanging out at the barn you can always count on it being a time filled with smiles and laughter.

Since I am the oldest, I was the first person my family got to teach. Holding that spot is something that has made me who I am today. My uncle,

John, has always told me that when I first started showing he was worried that I would never catch on, but I think it is safe to say that I have stepped forward and moved on in my family’s footsteps. He is someone that, even from a very early age, I have looked up to. He will always be the one to say, “Oh


she can miss that much school for Denver, it’s about time for her to get an actual education.” My dad is another very important figure in my life. I remember being ten and eleven riding on the four-wheeler with him and my siblings at our ranch in Dupree, South Da-kota, spending Sunday afternoons checking cows with the whole family. These are the times that I wouldn’t trade for the world and the stories that one day I will be sharing with my kids.

For the longest time, steers were what I was passionate about, but in the past couple years my interests have changed to heifers. I started out showing Maine-Anjou heifers, but in recent years I have fallen in love with the Simmental breed. With my first purebred Simmental, Revlon, I was lucky enough to have a great deal of success. She was reserve Simmental at Tulsa State Fair (2009) and champion Simmental at the Oklahoma Youth Expo (2010). She was also the Champion Simmental in the open show at Kansas City (2009) and reserve female at junior nationals (2009). She was the kind of heifer that made us, as exhibitors, dread

her final show. My next favorite heifer was named Glitter. She was named champion Simmental female in the junior show both in 2009 and 2010 at Kansas City. She was also the reserve champion Simmental in the junior show at Louisville (2009) and champion in the open show at Denver (2010). Throughout my show career thus far, I am very grateful for all the success I have had, but winning isn’t everything. All the banners, trophies, plaques and awards are all a great feeling to earn and something I am very thankful to have. There is nothing like being in the grand line up waiting and trying to anticipate which animal the judge is going to use. With all of the adrenaline flowing, every exhibitor hoping it will be them, once that judge comes and shakes your hand there is no better sensa-tion at that moment when you are in the show ring. However, just being able to travel going from show to show across the nation you learn to cherish all the friend-ships, experiences, and life lessons along the way. Having banners and awards at home remind me where I have been and what all I have

accomplished, but the memories that come with each show are what matter the most and will always be something I will never forget and treasure forever. I have a bright future to look forward to with many goals I have set for myself, one being that I will eventually attend law school. Until then, I just take in one day at a time enjoying my family, friends, school, traveling the long truck rides to shows, and taking on whatever challenges lie in my path. Cattle are truly a passion for my family and are what they have lived off of for many generations. For me and my family, cattle are a way of life and I would not change for a minute having it be any other way. ▪

Sire: Heat Wave • Dam: Witch Doctor x Angus (Kathy) BW: 89 lbs. • DOB: March 15, 2010 • THC/PHAF Semen: $25 from owners and major distributors

OWneD WiTH: Fred Campbell Livestock, IN • 574-721-0536 naylor Cattle Company, OK • 806-435-1994

Every year we strive to find a select group of bulls that fit the needs of as many club calf producers as possible. Sometimes a bull comes along and it’s not very often but looks to be an absolute breed changer. Fast Freddy blew us away right from the first time we laid eyes on him and still today continues to impress us! He was an absolute crowd pleaser in Denver 2011 drawing a lot of appreciation for how REAL he is! With a mother backing him that has produced close to $300,000 worth of progeny, this bull is a sure shot to produce consistently. If you are looking for muscle... stoutness... bone... hair...good necked.... SOUND genetics which is what is essential in this game, he puts all those things together in one spectacular package! This Heat wave son is sure to be used on a wide variety of females and we recommend breeding him similar to his sire for the best results. If you want to sell the high dollar prospects it starts at the pasture so be sure to add him to your list of bulls to use. Your competition already has.

owned with: Euchee Creek Cattle Company, 918-225-8739Tabasco has the added power and bone, loads of hair and is unbelievable sound

structured. He is probably one of the best Proud Jazz bulls we have seen in a long time. Whether you want champion steers and show heifers, this bull has what it takes! If using a new bull is in your plans for this breeding season, here is one of

the bulls you definitely need to consider.

KCC saGinaW • 1/2 Blood Simmental ASA# 2504822 • Dob: January 3, 2009 THF/PHaF • bW: 84 lbs. • sire: Duff New Look 101 • Dam: KCC 26J (X339U)

owned with: Pischel Farms Simmentals • Kent SnowdenKCC Saginaw has a flawless pedigree, picture perfect profile, complete soundness and

is a perfect blend of maternal performance. All this combined with his low birth weight EPD of -1.5, makes this bull and obvious choice to use on your first and second calf

heifers. This just might be the bull that will to it all. You need to try him and see for yourself that KCC Saginaw is the right bull to use for 2011 and beyond.

TFR CyRUs 225ET • Polled Hereford Reg. P42891459 • Dob: February 25, 2008 • THF/PHaFbW: 87 lbs. • sire: BR Moler • Dam: CRR D03 Cotton 356

semen: $25 Cyrus is a son of BR Moler, the National Champion Hereford Bull, 2005 NWSS. He is backed by the very

successful show heifer for Luke Schroder, CRR D03 Cotton 356. Cotton has wrote her own chapter in history. As a calf she was named the, Champion Polled Hereford heifer, 2004 National Jr. Hereford Expo, the American Royal and the NAILE. Cyrus has the rare ability to transmit genetic success at a

highly consistent rate in both male and female progeny. More importantly, what excites us the most is the fact that Cyrus is a great bull in his own right. Here’s what breeders are saying, “The Cyrus calves we have on the ground are the most consistent, stoutest Hereford sire group I have ever had.” “This

bull is definitely going to sire show steers and show heifers consistently.”

MaineTainer • Dob: October 6, 2008 • THF/PHaFbW: 81 lbs. • sire: Hoo Too • Dam: DJ Hunksemen: $25The word “breeding tool” is the term used by many across the country to describe this Char cross bull. He is TH and PHA Free and sired by the outcross bull, Who Too and his dam is a Maine female out of DJ Hunk. To top it off, several semen companies and many customers have said he is one of the best smoky bulls they have seen in a long time. We are selling semen across the country on this bull already. He is surely a cow changer. Loads of hair, bone and a great disposition are just a few of the qualities to describe Uncle Kracker. Try him on char cows. He is bred by John Adams.

Calves sired by Cyrus



The proof is in the performance, Chopper did not disappoint in his first calf crop. He produced a $38,500 heifer calf at the Classic Female Sale with an average on 6 head of $13,392 in his first sire group. We continue to get reports from across the nation on Chopper calves. They are big topped, solid made and marketable, with beautiful baldy faces. He and his offspring are a direct testament to the power that Steel Force is able to transmit down through the generations.
