In This Issue.... It’s the Pittsby Lee Pitts

Four Letter Wordsit’s been my experience that people who make their living battling mother

nature on a daily basis tend to use more four letter words than your average priest, funeral director or kindergarten teacher. roustabouts, loggers, truckers and welders use cursing to relieve the tension caused by sudden surprises. The exception to this rule are old time cowboys who don’t cuss much. (i’m talking real cowboys, not the genus and species of the drugstore variety.) Of course, there are exceptions to every rule and once i did meet an old nevada cowpoke who could cuss in paragraphs.

Proper and polite cowboys tend to develop their own private cuss words that allow them to vent their anger while not scorching the grass around them. if they catch their finger in a dally, or get assigned tractor duty, they express their aggravation by saying things like darn, sugar and fudge! i know one old timer who can make the word “pumpernickel” sound as vile as any word uttered by a mule-skinner.

i admit that i have to work hard at not cussing. it’s a terrible habit, and it’s my worst fault, but i spent too many years working in the oilfields, and taking too much inorganic chemistry in college, not to cuss. either one of which would make a Methodist minister cuss like a sailor. i also spent too many years in the front cab of my father’s Peterbuilt. don’t get me wrong, my long-haul-truck-driving father never cussed in front of me, but it didn’t take me long to acquire a teamster’s vocabulary at the truck stops we patronized. These days i have, for the most part, cleaned up my potty mouth and i try to limit my occasional cuss word to men and cows. i never cuss in front of women, kids and horses, all of whom are sensitive about such things.

My role model for cleansing my vocabulary is a grand old lady i’ve known for years. i was immediately attracted to Mary because, like me, she never trusted anyone who wore gloves, put their cigarette in a plastic holder to smoke it, or any snob who paid more than $10 for his last haircut. Mary was as down to earth as crabgrass and after her husband died she lived simply off the income of 50 cows. not well, mind you, but she lived. like a lot of ranchers Mary could have sold her picturesque place in the foothills to a developer for many millions and lived out her remaining days going on cruises with what she called “rOMeO’s”. (rich old mean eating out.)

Mary’s cowherd reflected her own personality: they were the gentlest bovines who ever chewed cud. Mary had invited a few of us over to help preg check those cows and this year when we arrived we saw a new twist: on a card table beside the chute were laid out fifty ear tags. it seems Mary had read about the premium that age and sourced calves are bringing at auction, only instead of angus source ear tags or from some other breed or id company, Mary had written in beautiful calligraphy the names of her cows on pale blue ear tags. Mary’s cows would never wear a bar code, but they did sport some interesting names. There was abstract who had strange markings, edsel who was definitely out of style, and frisbee who was hard to catch.

it’s safe to say that no one in attendance that day had ever heard Mary cuss. But when the old rope on the squeeze chute broke when a big old brute pulled back on it, he fell backwards right on Mary’s table and her pretty ear tags, vaccine guns, medicine and some delicious brownies were thrown high and wide. Mary took one look at the destruction and said “s-H-i-,” and the world stopped for a brief moment as everyone held their collective breath... “n-O-l-a,” Mary concluded. instead of a four letter word Mary uttered one of her private cuss words, the name of a shoe polish we used before we all started wearing nikes and reeboks.

embarrassed, Mary said, “for a moment there i almost said (insert four letter word here).”

PresiDent’s messAge

treAsurer’s rePort By Lisa Wamsley

The aPa ended the fiscal year down for the third consecutive year. Because of this we have proposed a revised budget that includes an increase in membership dues to reconcile this deficit. if we raise dues we won’t have to cut our advertising budget. Please remember to register your calves and to transfer paperwork to new buyers so that they can receive the Journal and become members. The scholarship committee still has donated semen for sale. if you are interested please email [email protected] for more information.

The Midwest has been very humid this early summer, but i guess the county fair season

wouldn’t be the same with out it!Our Juniors had a very successful Junior show in

June in seymour, Wisconsin. Congratulations to all those winners & exhibitors and of course the parents & grandparents that make it happen year after year.

Our Open district show is the next thing on the agenda for august in conjunction with the Wisconsin state fair. Then on to World Beef expo in september followed by the mighty trip to Maine for nationals. a big thank you to our Midwest Members that helped promote our breed at farm Technology days in July in Marathon County Wisconsin.

You can’t help but to smile thinking about all the time to be spent with friends and cattle! see you down the road!

The northeast breeders are looking forward to hosting the national Pinzgauer show sept 30 –

Oct 2. We hope to have a lot of exhibitors and members attending. if you are not able to attend, for the first time the national show will be webcast! You can watch it in real time at home. Please visit the Pinzgauer website for

information on how to view. We will be having a silent auction, so please bring an item for the auction. any monies left after show expenses will be given to the scholarship fund. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. see you in fryeburg!

as you all have probably heard the Central parts of Texas and some of Oklahoma are

experiencing a severe drought that started last fall. Many breeders in our region have had to sell a portion of their herd or sell off their entire herd. This is a serious problem. There is no grass, very limited hay available,

and ponds that are drying up. soon there is going to be a lot of water wells that can’t reach the dropping levels of underground water. There is no change in site for the near future. i speak for all of our breeders to ask for any help available to get through this tough time. any hay available that could be hauled in, or pastures with grass that could be borrowed would be greatly appreciated. Please contact me (Ken Paul) by email at [email protected], or phone 281-543-2411, with any help you could supply for sWPa breeders. Breeders needing help, please contact me so that i can put you in touch with any help that comes available. Thank you.

in memory of

The sWPa board and members would like to express their sorrow to donna laney and family for their loss of Howard. Howard was a great Pinzgauer breeder whose knowledge and friendship will be missed by all who had the benefit of meeting him. Howard was always there to help with donations towards the needs of the breed, especially for the juniors. Because of Howard’s attitude towards this, the sWPa is donating $250 to the Pinzgauer scholarship fund in Howard laney’s name. if any other regions or breeders would like to add to this donation in Howard’s name please contact me (Ken Paul) by email at [email protected], or phone 281-543-2411.

laney, Howard l. 71 March 18, 1940 aug. 03, 2011 Howard leroy laney, beloved husband, father and grandfather, passed away aug. 3, 2011, after a brief battle with lung cancer. Howard is survived by his wife of 51 years, donna; daughters, Jill Jarrett (robert) and Jennifer laney; son, scot laney (irene); grandchildren, Hanna and ryan laney; sister, Marilyn Bomer (lyle) of Bowling green, Ohio; and numerous nieces and nephews. Howard was born March 18, 1940, in Cygnet, Ohio, to Howard and Wilma laney. in 1959, he married his high school sweetheart donna Wheeler. He began his working career at Brush Beryllium in lucky, Ohio, where he was part of the four-man team that designed the heat shield employed on the Project Mercury space capsule currently on display at the smithsonian air and space Museum. Howard subsequently joined the industrial rubber industry, working as a chemist at Johnson rubber in north Baltimore, Ohio, and then at geneva rubber Company in geneva, Ohio. He was a founding member and elected the first chairman of the northeast Ohio rubber group. in 1967 the family moved to the Beaverton area when Howard was recruited to serve as Technical director at griffith rubber Mills in Portland. eventually he became President and then owner of the now 100-year-old Oregon company. He transformed griffith rubber Mills from a regional rubber products manufacturer to the global exporter of u.s. made products that it is today. He was proud of the fact that

he never moved any u.s. manufacturing jobs to a foreign country. upon retirement in 1990, Howard and donna moved to the Molalla area and established Cygnet farms, a cattle breeding and equestrian operation. Howard’s herd of Pinzgauer cattle has won numerous national grand champion awards. Cygnet farms beef is featured at many of Portland’s best restaurants and specialty retailers. Howard was very active on the board of the american Pinzgauer association and served as its president in the late 1990’s. He was also very active in the northwest Pinzgauer association. He was a great spokesman and supporter of the breed and will be truly missed by Pinzgauer breeders throughout the world. He was a longtime member of Murray Hills Christian Church and a passionate supporter of youth in the agricultural industry. There will be a public memorial service at 11 a.m. saturday, aug. 20, 2011, at the farm. in lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to the Murray Hills Christian Church Building fund, P.O. Box 7096, Beaverton, Or 97007, or the Oregon state university College of agricultural sciences (animal sciences department) at http://agsci.oregonstate.edu/giving. Howard will be sorely missed by his family and large circle of friends. He was particularly proud of his grandchildren, Hanna and ryan. He will be forever remembered as a deeply loved husband, father, grandfather and friend.

The Junior GazetteHello everyone

We had a hot couple of days at the valley Beef show this year. However we had a great turnout for both days. Congratulations to Jerry desmidt for grand Champion female and to diana Beckius for reserve grand Champion female.

a big thank you to Jake and Jerry for the supper they held at Woodhaven farm. The food was spectacular and it turned out to be a nice evening. after supper the juniors had a meeting and rachel erickson, a former junior, gave us a speech on proper showmanship. rachel also was a former Midwest Pinzgauer Queen so she gave us some advice about the essays we send in for the royalty contest. Thank you rachel, we all appreciated the advice and tips. during the meeting we announced the new royalty. Your 2011 Midwest Pinzgauer royalty is gloria Kesler as queen and your two princesses are stephanie Page and Brooke Calaway. Congratulations to everyone and thank you to everyone who sent essays in. The new officers are stephanie Page as president, gloria Kesler as vice president, lauryn Hacker as secretary, and amanda Becker as treasurer.

sunday was the Midwest Junior Pinzgauer show. We had some new juniors this year along with some future juniors. We added a new class this year called the Pee Wee class. This class is for younger kids who are not quite old enough to actually be a junior. We had two girls in this class, emma leis and Kylee Beckius they shared a first place. it was great to see the young kids get out in the ring. also this year at seymour we added a bull calf class to the junior show. gloria Kesler grand Champion bull calf and lauryn Hacker took reserve grand Champion bull calf. We would like to congratulate amanda

Becker with grand Champion female in the junior show and congratulations to samantha Kerian for reserve grand Champion female. also we would like to thank all the juniors for participating in showmanship. Congratulations to gloria Kesler for placing first in senior showmanship and Brooke Calaway for placing first in junior showmanship. i would also like to thank all the kids and adults we had at the show that helped out. Hopefully they will continue to showing after the experience they had at valley Beef.

Todd andershak and his daughter ashley brought a Pinzgauer cow/calf pair to the Wisconsin Cattlemen’s tent at the farm Technology days, July 12th-14th. The cow/calf pair drew in a lot of attention through out the three days. Our royalty was present all three days to answer questions and talk to people about Pinzgauers.

The last two years a number of Midwest Juniors attended the elroy fair in Wisconsin. samantha Kerian and stephanie Page showed their heifers in the open show. stephanie Page won grand Champion female over all breeds. Pearl franke showed her steer in the light weight division. The judge at the show made it fun and at the same time gave us information about show animals.

Q1. i have a 1400 pound cow with a lame front foot. The foot is swollen at the top of the claws. What do you think is wrong and how can i treat it?

a. This is probably foot rot which starts between the toes and can spread to the joint above the claws. if it is swollen and tender to the touch she may also have a fever as well and the best treatment i have found is Oxytetracycline which penetrates the joint and the bone. i would give her 50-60 ml of la-200 in the muscle of the neck divided into 3 different places. This will last for 3 days and she should be much improved. if not repeat the dose one more time and if she is not better after that and the swelling persists then the affected claw will have to be surgically removed. i have done a number of these over the years and they have been out on the range and calved for a number of years following surgery.

Q2. We recently purchased a heifer for show and she has developed a walnut wart on her lower leg. The show is in five weeks.

a. i would take a pair of pliers and crush the wart and twist it off as close to the body as possible as this causes some bleeding but also releases some of the wart virus into the blood stream stimulating immunity. a needle nose plier at the base may also make a cleaner removal and will work well. if you want to put something on it after removal then apply some 7% iodine to the lesion and bandage for a short time.

Q3. We recently had a cow that had a fever and developed a sore mouth so she didn’t want to eat. Our vet treated her with antibiotics and she got better after a period of time. What do you think it was and is it important for the rest of the herd, which by the way did not get sick.

a. it could have been a number of different bacteria or viruses. Bluetongue virus (fig. 1) causes a fever and the oral

mucosa becomes sore and scabs over. also note that the nose was scabbed over and left a reddened membrane once the scab was removed by applying nose tongs. The iBr virus causes a red nose but seldom oral problems but more ocular (eyes) and nasal discharge. Bvd virus causes oral erosions and most die from severe infection. Both these viruses cause abortion also which you usually do not see with Bluetongue virus. Of course foot and Mouth and vesicular stomatis cause oral vesicles and these are reportable diseases. viruses do not respond to antibiotics but the secondary bacteria are what usually causes the fever and do respond to antibiotics. Without doing blood work and pathological testing it is probably impossible to tell what she really had but the good thing is she did get well. The fact that others did not get ill tells me it was probably and isolated case of Bluetongue virus which only appears in a few susceptible animals after introduction into the herd.

Q4. We have had problems with scours in our calves and we live in the northwest where it is usually cold and wet in the spring but it sometimes freezes and snows in January and february. When would you recommend that we should calve to prevent calf diarrhea if it is an annual problem?

a. if you live in Montana, dakota’s or Wyoming where it snows and freezes most winters i would calve in January or february because the calves get less diarrhea due to the fact there is less mud during that time. if it rains a lot in the late winter and spring then i would look to more fall calves when it is drier and usually warmer. if cold wet weather is a problem then holding off calving until late april or early June may be better. during the latter two times the feed supply is usually more plentiful also and the cattle will be spread out. Close contact such as dry lot feeding when it is wet and muddy are very bad times for scours. i would also suggest that you vaccinate

annually with a good scour vaccine containing rota and Corona viruses, Clostridum perfringens and e. coli bacteria.

Q5. We are having problems getting rid of our cattle at competitive prices compared to black colored cattle. do you have any suggestions?

a. i do and most of them are in agreement with the article “What ever Happened?” written by long-time breeder Paul swisher on pages 20-21 of the december 2008 issue of the Pinzgauer Journal. in short they are failure to advertise in more well known cattle producers magazines, not enough publicizing of the great production traits in the feedlot and slaughter houses of our breed of cattle and too much focus instead on the show ring. The breed has some great traits but most of the cattle industry Figure 1

is unaware of any of them because we don’t even publish much information about this in our own Journal. if you sell natural Pinzgauer beef off the farm you can do better and give away a few samples at a farmers market may help stimu;ate some more interest as well.

Q6. Would you comment on which antibiotics you use the most?

a. Probably my favorite antibiotic that has saved more animals than any other including Penicillin, for me, is Oxytetracycline (la-200) which i have used to treat pinkeye, foot rot, bronchopneumonia and shipping fever on lots of sick cattle. The two newest that i like are draxxin to prevent or treat pneumonia and for eye, ear and skin infections i use vetericyn.

Q7. What is your opinion on some of the new methods for pregnancy diagnosis in the cow?

a. Personally i still prefer rectal palpation, but some are more successful with ultrasound and plus they are very accurate in diagnosing the sex of the fetus at 55 days of pregnancy which i certainly cannot do by rectal palpation alone. for those that do not have access to a good veterinary palpator then i would suggest submitting a blood sample of the pregnant animal which is about 97% accurate after 35 days of pregnancy. The same goes for a milk sample from the pregnant cow which may be a little more difficult to accomplish but has about the same degree of accuracy. it offers a simple milk collection (5-10 ml) of raw milk and you can run the sample yourself. The test can be done between days 20-23 after breeding so there is early detection if you can get the milk sample. Test kits are only available from Canada at the present time. it checks for the progesterone levels in the milk. if she is pregnant they will be high and if not pregnant they will be low.

Q8. What would you recommend the best way to dehorn an older animal that had a poor dehorning job (still has most of the horn or stubs left)?

a. i like to take obstetrical (fetotomy) wire about 3 feet long attached to two fetotomy handles. They are called dehorning saw wire and handles in the nasco catalog and are relatively cheap but very effective and i don’t use pain killers with it. Place the wire under the horn as far down as possible and tie the head to one side and saw from the opposite side (fig. 2). about 25 strokes and you should be through and there is less bleeding than with some of the other methods. Works well for taking off larger horns but you need to stabilize the animal because it hurts but not as bad as the saw. now if you are against any suffering then you should hire a vet to come and deaden the area with 2% lidocaine and be prepared to pay about ten times more because it takes a lot more time and skill to do that. i have found that my animals are usually forgiving and are back at the trough for food shortly thereafter when their headache is over. furthermore they seem to fight giving the pain killer in the first place (ever liked having a dentist do it to you?) and so i just eliminate this step whenever possible.

Q9. i know that rabies is transmitted from animals to humans, are there any other diseases that we should be concerned about that animals may pass to humans?

a. Yes, anthrax is rare but highly fatal and i wrote about it in the dec. 2008 Pz Journal. Others are Brucellosis which causes undulant fever in humans and is present in several states but most states have eradicated it see the dec. 2003 issue of the Journal. Tuberculosis can affect humans via the milk or respiratory discharge and is present in a few states. leptospirosis is a bacteria that is transmitted in contaminated water when infected animal urine comes in contact with breaks in human skin. Cryptosporidiosis is a protozoal disease that causes diarrhea in calves and humans. ringworm is a fungal infection that is usually transmitted by cats to younger people and salmonella and e. coli are bacterial diseases that cause diarrhea and food poisoning in humans.

Q10. i recently dehorned a heifer and opened the sinus, and now it is infected, what can i do?

a. One way to prevent this is by dehorning with a wire as illustrated in question 8. i would occasionally see an animal dehorned and then fed in a feeder with the hay finding it’s way into the sinus and causing infection. The simplest and best way to treat these is put the animal in a chute or tie them up with a rope halter, and or nose tongs, and then take a 50 ml syringe filled with hydrogen peroxide and push it into the sinus. They will fight you but i guarantee if you get it to go into the sinus, once you see it foam out the nostril you have it cured because it has opened up ventral drainage between the frontal sinus and the nasal passage and will drain out. You don’t even need to flush with antibiotics. Just make sure you see it come out the nose and everything will be alright.

Q11. i read your article in the Journal regarding “Calving abnormalities”. does the lupine poisoning only affect “in the womb” calves or can it affect any animal at any age. i ask because i may put my cattle on a pasture that has a lot of lupines in it.

Figure 2

Page 14: Pinzgauer Journal Fall 2011

14 The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2011

a. lupines only affect fetuses between the days 40 and 70 of pregnancy. The calves in the photos were born that way. i wouldn’t worry about lupines if there is a lot of good grass pasture for the cattle. The affected cattle we have seen in eastern Washington were on dry land pasture and the dry grass was not real palable and so they took to eating lupines instead. i have had my Pinzgauer cattle on pasture loaded with very toxic lupines but they ignored them as long as they had good grass to eat. days 40 to 70 of pregnancy here in the northwest is usually in the months of July and august when things dry up. This year it has been wet and green so there probably will not be a problem.

Q12. We have been asked by a breeder to describe traits to look for in selection of good Pinzgauer bulls, cows and calves based on conformation and some other traits. The breeder is looking for an experienced opinion on what they should be looking for, especially when buying calves for their breeding herd. I have some ideas but would like as many breeders as possible to give their comments to me and I will put together an article for the Winter issue of the Journal including your comments. So please jot down your ideas of what you look for in selecting your cattle and I will include them next issue. Thank you for your assistance.
