THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE BELTED GALLOWAY SOCIETY, INC.

US Beltie News Oregon –The Beaver State

www.beltie.org

President Jon Bednarski

Oregon is one

state that seems

to have captured

the scenic beau-

ty market! The

state’s treasures are the Pacific Ocean, its ma-

jestic mountains, forests, valleys, craters, vol-

canoes, high desert and the list goes on. Ore-

gon has 15 member farms and 187 registered

cattle. Our farm visit was to Sweet Home

Farms, located in the foothills of the beautiful

Cascade Mountains, in Sweet Home, Oregon.

Carla Green and Michael Polen own this ex-

tremely diverse farm. A visit to their website,

www.sweethomefarms.com, will certainly

show you what I mean.

After commuting on the weekends for sever-

al years, Carla and Michael left their health

care industry jobs in Portland, Oregon during 2009 to pursue

farming full time. The 64-acre farm they own has had only

two previous owners over its 160-year history. They also

keep animals on their son's 19-acre farm and graze an addi-

tional 250 acres that they lease. They direct market their beef,

pork, lamb, goat, and chicken through five farmer's markets

and their CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). Unlike

many of today's seasonal CSA farms that sell shares of fruits

and vegetables, Sweet Home Farms CSA is strictly meat sales

and is available year round. A typical 20 pounds monthly

share might include 10 pounds of beef, 5 pounds of pork or

lamb, and 5 pounds of chicken.

Their farm had close to 70 Angus cattle in 2006 and they

brought in their first 10 Belted Galloways the

following year. They are now phasing out

their Angus herd due to the all-around success

they have experienced with their Belties.

While I was at the farm, I asked Michael

Polen about how closely his name is to the

famous author Michael Pollan’s, who wrote

Omnivore's Dilemma. He said that Pollan's

writings have had an influence on how he

markets his products and the farm to consum-

ers. He has also implemented closely the

farming techniques used by Joel Salatin of

Polyface Farms for raising the many different

species of animals on his farm.

I was very impressed by the management

intensive grazing (MIG) system that Sweet

Home Farms has incorporated. With the mul-

tiple animal species they own, and their rota-

tional grazing order of cattle first, then sheep, followed by

chickens, the Polens are able to

help reduce parasites and flies on

the farm. Their website covers the

whole system in more detail.

I have to say that Carla and Mi-

chael have put together a com-

plete package from pasture to

plate that includes diversity of

species, grazing practices, and

marketing of their final product.

Juniors Exhibiting Belted Galloway cattle in Flyover States

Area Five Juniors. Juniors were out in full force promoting Belted Galloway cattle at the Indiana State Fair and the Illinois State Fair during

August. GLBGA supported the junior members as they exhibited the breed in state junior shows and gained more exposure for the breed. Dur-ing the annual Championship Parade at the Illinois State Fair, 1000 spectators viewed the Land of Lincoln AOB Champions shown by Ryan

Fogle and Krystina Short!

The National Booth Display

Wisconsin State Fair. The National Belted Galloway

Booth was on display along with cattle at the Wisconsin State

Fair during August. Kathy Stern (WI) provided Arbor Winds

cattle for the display. Kathi Jurkowski (IL) and Vic Eggleston

manned the booth and greeted fair-goers. The booth is availa-

ble to any member who wishes to promote Belted Galloway

cattle at any venue. Contact Vic’s office for details!

2014 Calendar Contest

Jon Bednarski, Advertising &

Promotion Committee

We are pleased to an-

nounce that the 2014 cal-

endars are at the printer.

It is always difficult deci-

sion for the committee to

select the final 13 photos

needed. Sometimes the final decision on a photograph is

because of picture quality or how it will look in print,

which makes the selection process more challenging.

The winner of the cover photo (above) and the $200

CLRC credit is Persistence Run Farm in Maryland. The

second place winner is Triple O Farm from Texas. They

will receive a $100 credit for CLRC services. All 13

winners will be sent 3 complimentary calendars each to

share with family and friends.

The other monthly member farm winners are: Double

B Ranch (WI), Magnolia Trace Farms (MS), Otokahe

Farm (NH), Westwoods Ranch (KS), Dream Catcher

Ranch (TX), Red Barn Farms (IN), Casa Cattle Co.

(ME), Hilltop Farms (IL), Wilder Farms (WA), Sunny-

brook Farm (IL), Klover Rose Farm (IL).

The calendars will be for sale on our website at $8

each which includes postage. If you buy them up at a

show or sale this fall, they are $6 each or four for $20.

Credit cards will be accepted on the website.

Remember, these calendars have breeding dates posted

and profits will go to the Belted Galloway Junior Associ-

ation. Buy a bunch to support our youth. They make

great gifts for holidays, birthdays and farm visitors!

The Belted Galloway Journal

We are sharing a preview of the cover

of The 2013 Belted Galloway Jour-

nal!

The Journal will spotlight member

farms in different regions of the Unit-

ed States plus announce the Chatfield

Memorial Scholarship winners and

more!

Thanks for the support of our many

advertisers! Without your support we

could not make the Journal happen.

Look for it in your mailboxes in late

September – early October!

The Annual General Meeting and Banquet will be held at the hotel on Tuesday, November 19, 2013 from 7-10 p.m. A cash bar will open at 7 p.m. and the buffet will begin at 7:30 p.m. The cost for the dinner buffet is $35 for adults and $15 for kids under 12.

Louisville Shows and The Belted Galloway Premium Sale Updates Michelle Ogle, Show and Sale Committee Chairman It seems like just yesterday that we were in Louisville, KY for the world’s largest show of Belted Galloway cattle in history! At the 2012 show, breeders brought their best animals and attendance was at an all-time high. The 2012

Premium Sale was packed full of great genetics and had record high-selling averages. Sale nominations are coming in and we have a great selection of genetics being offered to-date. Please remember to get your nominations in and have pictures ready for the catalog. The National Belted Galloway Show and The Kathi Jurkowski Junior Show rules and entry forms are now posted online at www.beltie.org Please pay careful attention to details when completing these forms. It makes my role so much easier when all your information is complete! All animals entered compete in the Open Show. If you have junior members who are eligible to show in the Junior Show, please be aware that you are required to complete two entry forms (a junior form and an

open form). Our 2013 show welcomes the return of the Appendix recorded purebred and percentage-bred females showing in Broadbent. We had a large demand for the return of this show so our breeders can show others how great our breed does when used in cross-breeding programs. We look forward to a strong turnout for this portion of the show. It requires some creative budgeting to administrate our National Belted Galloway Show. We certainly appreciate the past donor support of our awards and classes. We are currently requesting support for sponsorship of our awards and individual classes. Sponsors will have the opportunity to place their farm business cards in our hospitality area at Broadbent. They will also be acknowledged in the show catalog and displayed at our booth. Sponsorship levels are as follows: Platinum Sponsor, $200 or more; Gold Sponsor, $150; Silver Sponsor, $100; Bronze Sponsor, $50. Sponsors can specify if they wish their donations’ funds to apply toward the Open or Junior Show. Mail your contributions to: Victor Eggleston DVM, N8603 Zentner Road, New Glarus, WI 53574.

NEGG Summer Meeting

Chris Adams (ME)

The New England Galloway Group met for their summer

meeting at Partridge Meadow Farm in Westmoreland, NH.

Many thanks to our hosts, Richard and Susan Paul, who were

very gracious and made everyone feel welcome. When

Richard and Susan began their farm, they had very little

pasture, but with a lot of hard work the land was cleared and

made into pasture to support their growing Beltie herd. They

also just completed a new barn to house their expanding herd.

It was great to see Richard’s 4-H group working with the

show string he has put together for this year. We wish them

luck during the show season, and we thank Richard and Susan

for Partridge Meadow’s efforts to promote the breed.

The meeting was called to order with 16 farms represented.

After introductions of all members present, which included a

couple of new breeders, a local feed representative talked

about various feeds and minerals available for beef animals.

The NEGG held their business meeting. Various items were

discussed for the upcoming 24th National Sale with the

SEPTEMBER 2013

Washington — The Evergreen State

President Jon Bednarski

After leaving Sweet

Home, Oregon, we pro-

ceeded on a short drive

north to Portland. As we

crossed the magnificent

Columbia River, which is

the border between Oregon

and Washington State, I

could see what a beautiful

drive it would be to our

next farm stop. The state

of Washington has 139

registered cattle at 16 mem-

ber farms.

I was excited to be visiting Ken

and Dee Bajema of Bajema Belties,

as Ken is the current president of

the Western Belted Galloway Asso-

ciation. The Bajemas’ 30-plus

-acre farm is located in

Washougal, Washington overlooking the spectacular

Columbia River Gorge.

Their farm has a lot of history. Ken’s parents pur-

chased the farm in 1952, but his great-grandparents actu-

ally settled the adjacent property in 1884. They planted

their first holly trees in the 50’s. The farm is now called

the Columbia Gorge Holly Farm, and the Bajemas have

many holly varieties in the over 1200 trees they manage.

In 1988, after 27 years of service as a natural resource man-

ager for the US

Bureau of Indian

Affairs, Ken retired

and moved back to

the family farm.

For over 25 years,

Ken and Dee have

been shipping holly

cuttings to florists

both nationally and

internationally for

holiday arrange-

ments and wreaths.

This is a profession

that keeps them busy year round.

They have been Society members now for 20 years, having

bought their first two bred heifers from the John Jeffers herd

in Wyoming. The Bajemas organized the Western Belted Gal-

loway Association in 1995 and Ken is serving his second term

while Dee has also served

a term as president.

Although their Beltie

cattle numbers are down

today, the Bajema herd

name can be seen in many

of the current Western

registered herds. We

missed Dee the day we

stopped, but did enjoy a slice of her fresh blackberry pie be-

fore heading to Montana. Ken and Dee, thanks for all you

have done for the breed!

possibility of having videos of the sale animals attached to the

NEGG website. Email and website information will be added

to lot descriptions when available.

The NEGG Heifer Project applications are online and we

are looking for a heifer for a deserving youth for the coming

year. Anyone willing to sell or donate a heifer should contact

Megan Bickford (603) 859-2611 or [email protected].

The Belted Galloway show held at the Fryeburg Fair in

Fryeburg, ME during October will be named the Eastern

Regional Belted Galloway Show. Richard Paul (NH) and

Ron Howard (ME) will be working on advertising

opportunities for the upcoming show as another way to

promote the Belted Galloway.
