When newborns pop into this world,Beginning life’s new game,Immediate, without delay,

They’re saddled with a name.

Their parents pondered many hours.Was it chaos or affection?

Was this done in unity?This job called name selection.

Funds were spent on sonograms,If it’s put in ranching terms,Is the child, bull or heifer?The gender, it confirms.

To muddle up the process,Is it a complicated riddle?

To choose two words in several months,You got it, first and middle.

Then pronouncing and the spelling,It is the parent’s choice

If it’s done in error,Displeasure they will voice.

Here’s another spectrum.They’ve cast it all aside.

They slap on a legal name.They let other folks decide.

Deciding what, you may ask?This question will be cleared.

A nickname that will stick to themLike glue, it is adhered.

Their Dad explained it readily.His kids were all renamed.There’s Bubba, Al and Kat.

There’s Punk and Zeke and Jane.

What about your youngest?Then came the Dad’s reply,“He forgets to zip his pants.They call him Dragon Fly.”

Money Talks

BE SURE TO STOCK UP IN YOUR IRA Retirement statistics show that today’s Americans are enjoying longer lives and cite inflation as retirees’ greatest economic worry. For that reason a fixed monthly income stream may no longer be sufficient to fund a satisfactory lifestyle during retirement years. To protect against inflation, the ability to grow assets and retain the purchasing power of money is essential. Based on historical performance, that’s where stocks may offer an advantage. By offering a combination of capital growth and dividend income, stocks offer the ability to potentially offset the eroding effects of inflation. However, there can be no assurance that past performance will guarantee future results.

Few investment vehicles are of a longer-term nature then an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), and no other financial asset has historically offered a higher return over the longer term than common stocks. Ibbotson Associates, an oft-cited research firm, reports that for the 10 year period from 1998 through 2007, small stocks offered an annual total return of 10.6 percent and large stocks offered an annual total return of 7.3 percent compared to 5.9 percent for long-term government bonds, and 3.5 percent for Treasury bills.

If you reinvest dividends within your IRA, returns can be considerably greater. Using Ibbotson’s figures, $1 invested in a large cap broad index of U.S. common stocks on Jan. 1, 1995 through Dec. 31, 2005 with all dividends reinvested would have grown to over $2.00. Remember, dividends and capital gains accumulate in your IRA on a tax-deferred basis. If you sell stock in your IRA for a gain, no tax is due on that gain until you retire and begin distributions, provided the gain is reinvested back into your IRA.

Diversification—widely accepted as the best way to minimize the risk of investing and achieve reasonable returns—is easy to achieve with the vast array of stocks available among hundreds of industries. Moreover, stocks can be easily liquidated to take profits or reduce losses, unlike many other investments that may lock-in investors for a particular period of time.

A diversified high-quality portfolio of stocks can offer the IRA investor both capital appreciation and dividend income. Of course, investment decisions should be made only upon a full consideration of the particular financial situation. Consult with an investment professional about the possibilities of equities within your portfolio.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. There is no assurance this trend will continue. The market value of securities fluctuates and you may incur a profit or loss. This analysis done not include transaction costs and tax considerations.

Coccidiosis iscommonly a disease of youngcattle (i.e. 1 mo. - 12 mo. old) butit can affect older cattle, too.Thisdisease is caused by microscopicparasites (E. zuernii, E. bovisand E. auburnensis).It is oftenassociated with confinement ofanimals and high moisture. Typical signs ofcoccidiosis are diarrhea, loss ofappetite and weight loss. Moresevere cases result in bloodydiarrhea. Death may occurduring the acute period or laterfrom secondary complications.The way we confirm a diagnosisis by findingoocysts onfecal samples. Affecteda n i m a l sshould be

isolated and treated. Thepopulation density of affectedpens should be reduced. Allfeed and water supplies shouldbe high enough off the groundto avoid fecal contamination.Mass medication of feed andwater supplies may be necessaryto prevent new cases andminimize the effects on the restof the cattle. There are coccidiostatsavailable that can be used toprevent and treat coccidiosis.Aproactive role in managementof establishing effective parasitecontrol is best.
