65th Arizona National ApproachesAs fall approaches the Arizona National Livestock Show Executive Committee, Show Committee, staff and volunteers prepare for the 65th annual Arizona National Livestock Show.
There are a lot of exciting things happening with Arizona National this year which you will have an opportunity to read more about inside the newsletter. The Arizona National Livestock Show is a huge advocate in helping college students through scholarship and work opportunities so this year we have partnered with the University of Arizona and Arizona State University to offer an internship program. Following in this area we have awarded $40,000 dollars in scholarships for the 2012-13 academic school year to sixteen outstanding students, the University of Arizona, College of Agriculture Livestock Judging Team and the State 4-H Livestock Judging Team to attend the National Judging Contest. These scholarships would not be possible without the support of our members and the Arizona Horse Lovers Foundation.
The annual Membership Dinner will be held November 6th at the Valley Riding & Polo Club in Scottsdale. The event will kick off at 6:00 pm with cocktails and dinner at 7:00 pm. This is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with ANLS members, and meet scholarship recipients. Enjoy a delicious dinner sponsored by Bruce Brown Catering, entertainment from Gail Starr, and door prizes. Proceeds from this dinner benefit the Arizona National Scholarship Fund. We hope you save the date and more information will be mailed to Arizona National members in October. If you have not had an opportunity to renew your membership or you are interested in joining Arizona National please don’t hesitate to give us a call at the office. We don’t want you to miss out on any special member notices.
This year Arizona National will be sharing news more frequently through electronic notices and facebook. If you have not updated your membership information to provide us with a current email address please make sure you notify the office and also like us on facebook. We will begin sending electronic news updates in October in addition to the quarterly newsletter we will continue to print and mail to ANLS members.
In addition to the Membership Dinner in November we will be partnering with Cabela’s for a pre-show Dutch Oven Cook Off. You may read more about that exciting event inside the newsletter.
The 65th Annual Show will be an action packed event this year. The Show dates are December 27 through 31, 2012. The Show dedication will be held December 27th and we are pleased to dedicate the Show this year to John & Bobbie Kerr. The 24th Annual Cowboy Classics Western Art & Gear Show will open with a special reception immediately following the Show Dedication. This year’s featured artist is Skeeter Hughes of Dewey, Arizona.
The Junior Market Shows will be consolidated into two days and culminate with the Junior Market Auction on December 30th. This year the Junior Market Auction will begin at 3:00 pm. A Junior Market Auction BBQ will not be held this year but there is still a chance to enjoy lunch from one of our fabulous food concessions or in the Arizona National Club prior to the auction. This is a great time of year to start thinking about supporting the Junior Market Auction as a buyer and supporting the youth. If you or your company are interested in serving as a buyer and would like more information, please do not hesitate to contact the ANLS office.
The Arizona National continues to play a part in preserving our western heritage through the show with events such as the Ranch Rodeo, Cowboy Classics Western Art & Gear Show, Ranch Memorabilia and western displays, Chuck Wagon Cook Off, and the Dutch Oven Cook Off. These are just some of the events amongst the livestock shows and sales you won’t want to miss. The 65th annual show will end the year with the Supreme Bull & Female Selection on December 31st. We hope you will make plans to join us for all the upcoming Arizona National events. For a complete schedule of events visit www.anls.org.

Dear Members,
We are almost through the heat of the summer and the coordination for the 65th Annual Arizona National Livestock Show is in high gear! The steer nomination deadline has just passed and exhibitors are beginning to request DNA kits and getting their entries prepared for the Show.
We are pleased to announce that Arizona National will coordinate a Dutch Oven Contest November 17th at Cabela’s in Glendale. This will give teams an opportunity to compete in another contest and gear up for the contest held at ANLS December 30th.
Another new program this year is the partnership between the College of Agriculture at the University of Arizona and Arizona State University Morrison School of Agribusiness for an internship program during the Show.
We welcome Gerald Lewis as a new co-superintendent for the Open Cattle Department. We greatly appreciate all the hard work and time Carl Whitney provided to the Show the past several years.
There are a lot of exciting events being planned for the Show this year along with some schedule changes. The dates of the Show are December 27-31, 2012 with the Show dedication being held December 27. The Junior Dance will continue but it has been moved to December 29th and the Junior Market Auction will be held Sunday, December 30th at 3:00 pm.

Ambassador on the RoadDear ANLS Supporters,
Arizona National Livestock Show is a few months away and my excitement for the show continues to mount. Let me take a few minutes to introduce myself and express how my excitement grows with each day.
I grew up in the beautiful small town of Cottonwood, Arizona. My grandpa farmed hay and raised livestock in the Verde Valley. He passed his love of agriculture to my mother as she raised and showed livestock growing up, and this passion was passed down to me. Growing up I could always be found making the best mud pie, playing with lambs or riding my horse April. I loved every second of my childhood! In addition to spending many hours outside, my involvement in the Cottonwood 4-H organization and the Arizona FFA Association have help shaped me into the person I am today. These amazing organizations and raising my own show animals taught me many life lessons such as responsibility, leadership, a strong work ethic, and an appreciation for agriculture. These life
lessons have helped me through the last three years of my college career in addition to filling out the veterinary school application. This time next year it is my hope that I will be leaving the great state of Arizona to veterinarian program.
I am truly grateful and excited to serve as the ANLS Ambassador. The show has been a tradition from me since I was ten years old; it was like Christmas all over again. Throughout my year of service I have the opportunity to travel around the state representing ANLS and the agriculture industry. I am thankful for the scholarships I have received from the show. As the show draws nearer it will become harder for me to contain my excitement for “second Christmas.” I look forward to traveling around to county fairs to share my love for ANLS. I hope to see you at the show! Sincerely,Cheyenne Robinson

Dear Arizona National,
Words can not express my heart felt thanks and how I am so deeply touched to have been recognized as the 2012 Show Dedicatee. To this day I am still in ah over the award I was presented and think about it everyday.
I would like to thank the Arizona National Livestock Show, ANLS Board of Directors, Show Committee, Executive Committee, Grant, Rochell, Dee, Nicki and the Arizona State Cowbelles for all of their support and kindness.
As some may know my husband Bob and I were in a sever accident on May 28. After a lengthy stay in the hospital we are in a recovery facility working on mending. I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful cards, visits, thoughts and prayers.
Sincere ThanksJody Yeager

Retired rancher, Robert G. “Bob” Boice, 84 died at his home in Globe on June 21, 2012. Bob, born Jan 24, 1928, was the second son of Frank Seymour Boice and Mary Grantham Boice. He was raised on the Boice family’s Empire Ranch near Sonoita; AZ. Bob showed his leadership abilities at Tucson High School as a class representative all four years. In college, he was house manager of Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity. Bob married his high school sweetheart and lifetime partner, Miriam Hamilton of Tucson shortly after they both graduated from the University of Arizona where Bob earned a degree in Animal Husbandry. They made their first home at the Empire Ranch.
In 1955 they moved to the Slash S Ranch, south of Globe, AZ which the Boice Family owned and operated until 1978. In 1958 they built their home in Globe, raising their family and becoming very active members of the community.
Bob was highly regarded for his volunteerism, dedication, and accomplishments. He was selected Globe “Man of the Year” in 1971 after starting the first 4-H steer club in Globe, “The Gila Mon-Steers
4-H Club”. He was the first Gila Co. Fair & Racing Commission Chairman and a driving force in developing the Gila County Fairgrounds. Bob continued to be active in 4-H the remainder of his life. The Gila Co. Fairgrounds Exhibition Hall was dedicated in his honor in 1995. As President of the Gila County Cattle Growers’ Association, Bob was instrumental in building Burch Sale Yard and conducting the first Association yearling sale which continues today. As a tribute, the 2012 auction was dedicated to Bob and Miriam. He was a member of the National Cattlemen’s Association, a member of the Arizona Cattle Growers’ Association, the Gila County Cattle Growers’ Association, Globe Chamber of Commerce, Gila County Fair Livestock Committee and a strong supporter of the Gila County Historical Museum.
Bob’s contributions to Arizona Ranching were acknowledged in 1998 when he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the U of A College of Agriculture. Working as a team, he and Miriam were awarded “2000 Cattleman of the Year” by the Globe-Miami Chamber of Commerce. They were once again recognized with an award of “Rancher of the Year” in 2009. He served as Chairman of Gila County’s Screw Worm and Brucellosis Eradication Programs. Both were a great success and made significant improvements to Arizona’s ranching industry.
Since 1960 Bob has supported the Arizona National Livestock Show. He served as Superintendent of the Junior Division for several years. The Arizona National Livestock Show was dedicated to Bob and Miriam in 2005, honoring their many years of service. He also served on the Board of Directors of the Arizona Livestock Production Credit Association, as Chairman of the Arizona Society of Range Management and as a member of the U of A Alumni Board of Directors. One of Bob’s proudest moments was when the Boice family received the 2011 Heritage Award from the U of A College of Agriculture recognizing three generations of Boice U of A Alumni.
In 1986 Bob was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid leukemia. Over the course of many years of treatment at the U of A Medical Center, he was declared cancer free and remained in remission for the rest of his life. He and Miriam then started many years of cruising, climaxing with a cruise to Alaska with all their children and grandchildren to celebrate their 50th Anniversary.

Bob was extremely proud of his children and felt they were the most important accomplishment of his life. All four graduated from college and have successful lives.In addition to his wife of 62 years, Bob is survived by his children, Mary and husband Bruce Moreton of Darnestown, MD; Grant and wife Kristi Boice of Scottsdale, AZ; Martha Madani of Oro Valley, AZ and Peggy and husband Charles Sands of Lexington, MO and San Manuel, AZ. He is also survived by his 8 grandchildren and 2 great grandsons.
A fourth generation rancher, he loved the outdoors and what it meant to be a rancher. Bob had a passion for gardening, growing award winning orchids and could grow just about anything from a cutting or seed.
Respected by all that knew him for his kindness, generosity, principles, honesty and integrity, Bob loved life and people. Many considered him their friend.
At Bob’s request no services were held. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Arizona National Livestock Show Scholarship Fund, 1826 W. McDowell Rd., Phoenix, AZ 85007 or Gila County 4-H Livestock, PO Box 1337, Globe, AZ 85502
The Arizona National Livestock Show has developed a new partnership this year to offer college students an internship program during the Show. There are often temporary positions available during the Show and this program will now allow the students an opportunity to also gain college credit.
The program allows college students in an agriculture related field to work with the Arizona National during the holiday break for real life, hands on experience in various positions. This also allows the interns an opportunity to become involved in the Show which provides eligibility to apply for scholarships and meet industry representatives and future contacts.
Applicants must be college students majoring in agriculture related degree program and interest in the livestock industry. They must be hard working and excel in time management and organizational skills along with having a professional demeanor.
Arizona National is very pleased with the partnership and look forward to working with the students during the Show.
New ANLS College Internship Program
The Arizona National Livestock Show will be holding a Dutch Oven Cook Off at Cabela’s World Foremost Outfitters, Glendale location on November 17th.
We are looking forward to holding this event with a retailer prior to the Show to kick off all the festivities. This will also allow us an opportunity to promote the Show and sharing this unique style of cooking which is part of preserving our western heritage. If you are interested in gathering a team and pulling out those Dutch oven pots to create a delicious main dish, bread and dessert then be sure to contact us for the contest packet.
The contest will be the same format as the 2nd Annual Dutch Oven Cook Off during the Livestock Show on December 30th.
We hope that you will stop by Cabela’s on November 17th to say hi and see what this event is all about. You may also luck out and be able to enjoy some tasting’s from the cook off. Cabela’s is located at 9380 W. Glendale Ave in Glendale. It is located right off the 101 freeway.

ANLS Members Honored at ACGA Convention
Long time Arizona National members Senator Steve Pierce and Jim Loughead were both honored recently at the 108th annual Arizona Cattle Growers Convention at the Prescott Resort.
At the annual awards luncheon on July 18th the Top Wrangler award went to Jim Loughead. An extremely deserving recipient Loughead has been active in Arizona agriculture his whole life. Most recently he has served on numerous committees for the Arizona Cattlemen’s Association, President-Elect for the Arizona National Livestock Show and the Arizona Natural Resource Conservation Districts State Association. He is dedicated to the profitability and growth of the beef industry and is a truly a dedicated servant to advancing it. When awarded Jim stated, “I enjoy what I’m doing so much, I don’t need an award to do it.”
Finally, the highest award annually bestowed, Cattleman of the Year, was awarded to Senator Steve Pierce. His
family has ranched and raised cattle in Arizona for over 100 years. He has served in leadership roles for the Yavapai County Cattle Growers’, Arizona Beef Council, Arizona Cattle Growers’ and the U.S. Meat Export
Federation. He publicly states, “I have been a rancher for over five decades. I learned a long time ago the value of hard work, to not be afraid to get your hands dirty and how to spot manure!” A true servant to rural Arizona and its cattle community we are fortunate to have rancher Steve Pierce as the current President of the Arizona State Senate.
Fish Receives Distinguised Service AwardDean Fish was recognized by the National Association of County Agricultural Agents with the 2012 Distinguished Service Award at their 97th Annual Convention held in South Carolina in July.
