Greetings,Okay, here is my wish for the

New Year… I would like one inch of rain, every other week for the next two months, and I want the rain on 45 degree days going no lower than 40 degrees. Then after the rains get straightened up then be nice the rest of the winter. Is anybody with me on this? We sure can’t complain about winter so far,

but we just need to add moisture in a liquid form and allow it to sink and absorb into our dry soil.

Dixie and I would like to thank our family, my Mom and Dad, Heidi, Tucker, Taylor, Bubba, Runt (Maria), and Indie, Mandi, Brian, and Izzy, and my sister Lori and her family. Dixie and I had the misfortune of both having surgery this past month. Just so that everybody is on the correct page, it was not serious. I had to fix problems from a previous surgery, and Dixie had her gallbladder removed. Everything went fine and we are doing great. I went in Tuesday got released Thursday and Dixie went in Thursday and got released Saturday night the same week. We had kind of a rough week. We are doing great now.

Have I got food to write about, though. First off, my Mom made this deadly vegetable beef (steak) soup with a jello fluff to follow. Then, Heidi brought awesome meatballs and bacon wrapped meatloaf pat-ties, this was some great meatloaf along with some ice cream from Casey’s. I think I’m in an ice cream withdrawal. Bubba and Runt (Maria) brought angel food cake, crab dip, homemade caramels and a deadly Greek pork chop with Greek pota-toes. Mandi came down with the fix-ings to make her famous potato soup and also made a chicken and noodle soup that’s unreal. It was enough to feed a small army, but Dixie and I got around it just fine.

Mandi also stayed with Dixie after surgery. Heidi and kids along with Bubba and Runt babysat me at home while I recovered. Special thanks to my son-in-law Brian, he has done my chores at the ranch more than I have. Brian, thanks a bunch. Also a special thanks to my sister Lori, she brought us some brownies and pumpkin bars. They didn’t last too long. I know I am probably forgetting some stuff, but just know that Dixie and I appreci-ate everything. Thank You!! Special thanks to my grandkids for their entertainment, and another special thanks to Pastor Broers for his visit.

Well Santa Claus has been here, the New Year is upon us, National Western Stock Show is fast approach-ing, and Iowa Winter Beef Expo and Nebraska Cattlemen’s Classic is around the corner. Sale season is busting at the seams. It’s time to get those buying clothes on and hit the road. I look forward to seeing all of you down the road.

Let’s all keep our service folks and their families in our thoughts and prayers.

God Bless

How do the VITA HAIR™ Nourishing Vitamins work? Biotin vitamin is the first vitamin thought of when considering HAIR GROWTH. The major benefit of Biotin is its ability to strengthen both the hair follicle and

the hair shaft, where the hair is produced, which prevents hair breakage and dryness. This is a scientifically proven crucial step in the natural hair growing process.One of the chief things that slows hair growth is damaged hair. Biotin enriched hair has increased elasticity of the cortex which prevents breakage. This enableshealthy, FASTER HAIR GROWTH. Biotin also thickens the actual hair cuticle providing a fuller appearance.

Pro-Vitamin B-5 is considered the king of all HAIR CARE vitamins. Pro-Vitamin B-5 stimulates healthy scalp circulation which leads to improved hair health.It coats the hair and seals its surface, lubricating the hair shaft making the hair shine. It possesses superior long term moisturizing properties because of its uniqueability to penetrate and nourish the hair shaft.

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that stimulates circulation to the skin and supports capillary growth. The skin needs to have proper circulation in order to keep thehair follicles alive and thriving. When there are more capillaries, the circulation improves leading to increased nutrient absorption into the hair follicles, whichspeeds hair growth.

VITA HAIR™ is an advanced nutrient package that infuses the hair with proven hair vitamins for ...• Faster Hair Growth • Thicker Hair • Increased Shine • More Body & Volume • Healthier Skin • Improved Nutrient Absorption

Finally, a hair nourishing product for cattle with no added weight or the flat,

waxy build up from human conditioners.

The Best Just Got Better.

Kleen Sheen is the daily hair care formula for show cattle that is naturally healthy for hair. It is a fantastic conditioning sheen for producing healthy looking, well managed hair with that “Ultra” shine. Features the VITA HAIRTM nourishing vitamin package and moisturizers that boost hair strength and create stronger hairfollicle growth. Refer to the bottom to learn how VITA HAIRTM will enrich your haircoat. This light sheen is perfect for daily hair care, clipping and show day grooming.

Preventing Bull Accidents

by Temple Grandin, Colorado State University

(NOTE: This is an article is a sample of writing by Temple back in 2006, discussing the handling of dairy bulls. The same applies to beef bulls but to a lesser extent, but that doesn’t mean not to be extremely careful around beef bulls, especially those past eight months of age. See comments about her work in my column, “a Little Bit about a Whole Lot of Things.” Evan Rayl)

The most dangerous dairy bull is a bull that has not been prop-erly socialized to his own kind. When a young bull calf becomes mature at age two, he needs to challenge the top bull in the herd. If the bull calf has been raised alone and has not had the oppor-tunity to interact with other cattle, he thinks he is a person and he wants to exert his dominance over the “herd.” This can result in dangerous attacks on people.

Ed Price at the University of California found that bull calves raised in groups were much less likely to attack people than bull calves raised in individual pens. Bull calves raised on a cow were the least likely to attack. When they are raised with their own kind, they know who they are and they are less likely to think that people are part of the herd.

There is no such thing as a totally safe bull, but the risk of an attack can be reduced with proper management. When dairy calves are six to eight weeks old, they should be put in group pens. If there are no bull calves available for pen mates, a young bull should be raised with steer calves that are older and heavier. Any mature bull that charges a person, should be removed from a commercial dairy because he is too great a safety risk to the dairy personnel. To further reduce the danger, dairies that use bulls should consider raising bull calves on a nurse cow. Raising bull calves on a nurse cow will imprint them more strongly to their own kind and further reduce the tendency to attack.

Never play butting games with calves. It is cute when they are young but very dangerous when they grow up. Never allow a bull calf to push his head up against you. Tell him to get back. If you want to pet the calf, stroke him under the chin, on the rear, or on the withers (shoulder). Stroke him anywhere except the forehead. Pressure on this area will encourage butting.

The major causes of bull attacks are mistaken identity or improper behavior that has been learned. A bull will perform a broadside threat prior to attack. He will stand sideways so the person or other bull can see how big and powerful he is. Sometimes a person can make a bull back off by responding with the human variation of a broadside threat which for people is a frontal stance. Alternatively, the person may just back slowly away from the bull. NEVER RUN away and do not turn your back on him.

In dairies where bulls run loose in the cow pens, manag-ers should be trained to notice aggressive postures. The bull should just move away along with other cows when the milkers approach. A bull that does a broadside threat to milkers should be culled. Even if a bull calf is reared properly with other cattle, an adult bull is usually safer if he spends most of his adult life penned with other animals. Bulls that are penned alone for long periods of time may be more likely to attack people. However, steers and heifers can be safely penned alone.

Understanding cow and bull behavior will help to reduce accidents. There is no way that cattle can be made perfectly safe, but the use of behavioral principles will reduce the risk. Attacks by bulls are the number one cause of fatalities which occur while handling livestock. Dairy bulls are often more dangerous than beef breeds. Castration of bull calves at an early age will greatly reduce aggressive behavior. n

Discover Your PassionMcCullough’s Jr. National Boot Camp

The first semester is almost over and our kids are looking forward, to school being out. If your family is like ours, they are ready for summer to begin. While other children look forward to sleeping in and spending the rest of the day playing video games, kids that show cattle can’t wait to get up, rinse, and feed their cattle. They love spending their time getting ready for the next show. The amount of time that they spend with their own cattle, doing their own work, will be rewarding and will pay off when they hit the ring. It is seen in the harmony they have with the animal that they have been spending countless hours preparing.

Our Pastor at our church awhile back posed the question, if you were to do something, anything willingly, without getting paid to do it, what would it be? Ask the people in your family and see what their answers are? Whatever their answer is, that is what they are passionate about. It is what they enjoy and what they would make time for, if at all possible. God has instilled these interests in us, if we all had the same interests then everybody would do the same thing. God has made us all different and I am glad that He gave me and my family the love for cattle. Whatever you are passionate about, you want to learn more about it and get better at it.

The big question for youth, that they will have to figure out, is what are they truly passionate about. In order for one to find their true passion, you sometimes as parents have to be patient and we have to come out of our comfort zone.

The breed Jr. National events are a great way of broadening a youth’s skills and opening their mind to a whole next level of competitions. Not to mention the connections that are being made and the friendships being formed with people all over the country.

The 4-H program is another excellent program for the youth to explore so many different opportunities to develop and learn more about anything that interests them. Encourage them to explore different avenues. It may even challenge you to learn more about something. Chal-lenge them to do their best and not pass the job off on someone else. Be supportive and help them to find what their passion is. I think the best way of doing this, is to find someone who is in the field of what interests them, and allow the youth to observe what makes that person successful at what they do. Encourage them to ask questions and assist where they can. I recall when I was a kid starting out in cattle, our vet in Canada or our neighbor, would come over to work on our cattle, or clip my calves. I have no doubt in my mind that they thought I was a very inquisitive kid. (LOL more like a pain). I was always right there. They were

Cattle Chat very patient and really taught me a lot. Clinics are another great way of learning and developing skills.

As everyone knows that we travel all over the U.S.A. putting on clinics and are truly blessed to be able to share with others, the skills that God has blessed us with. This is something we don’t take for granted and would like to thank everyone who has worked along side and hosted one of our clinics, and to everyone that has attended. We are very blessed to be able to work and have the support of some great companies who stride to make great products that make everyone’s work easier.

As we had mentioned a couple of months ago, we are hosting at our ranch, for the first time, Mccullough Fitting clinic Jr. national boot camp. We are so excited to help Juniors prepare for their Jr. National breed shows. It will be held June 3-6th 2013 with the arrival day being the 2nd and going home the 6th evening or the 7th morning. We are planning to have a week packed full of learning and breaking down the events so that the youth can get more out of the experience of the Jr. National events. Many of you who have attended our clinics know that we put God first and that it is so im-portant to us that we are going to emphasize that at this Boot Camp. We are very excited to have some great guest speakers coming along as well. We feel that this event will help grow our youth, help them develop or discover their passions and make them take a look at the bigger picture. We all need to put God first and be passionate for Him first, then the rest will fall into place.

There has been a lot of interest in this event but now it is time to get those forms filled out and turned in. You can download them from our website at www.maineaimranch.com and click on the link where this Boot Camp is listed. If you have any questions feel free to call, Chuck McCullough 641-344-5566, Karen McCullough 641-344-5548.

A Little Bit About a Whole Lot of Things

by Evan Rayl

As we have just celebrated this past Christmas with the birth-day of our blessed Savior, we are left with a whole lot to think about as we go forward to the New Year. For those farmers and ranchers holding a large volume of cattle, the picture looks good if we don’t go over the fiscal cliff, but if those same cattlemen who are hoping to leave their holdings to the next generation, uncertainty about the estate laws are leaving them wondering if they will actually be able to pass their land on to the next genera-tion. Usually, cattlemen consider winter to be a good time of the year. It depends on if they don‘t get too much or too little snow, can make it to Denver for the Stock Show, an information meeting or two, the State Beef Expo, or a few winter or spring cattle sales. It appears, this year, there is more uncertainty about the future than usual.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Recently, I was invited to go on a long one day bus trip to Sioux County, in northwest Iowa. This county is about 60 miles north of Sioux City, Iowa. Plus, this county has a vast number of livestock of about every kind except beef cows. One can not believe the amount of livestock in the county. There is a huge number of fat cattle in open lots and in confinements. There are lots of both farrow to finish and finishing hog operations. There are many chicken operations and even an egg breaking plant. There are a number of producers raising meat goats. Then there

is the vast TransOva Genetics operation where a large number of embryo transfers and clones are produced for purebred cattle operations all over the U.S. Every place we went, producers were asked about the manure smell. Everyone said the smell of the manure was the smell of money, including farm wives. Sioux Center is the county seat with 6,500 people, with the county pop-ulation 32,000 plus. The county has seven car dealerships and five hospitals, among other things. There is only one alcohol plant in the county, but four just outside the county. The county runs out of corn about planting time and imports corn until harvest time. They have a swine packing plant and an animal feed equipment manu-facturing plant. I’ve never seen anyplace that begins to compare as far as livestock per square mile is concerned.

He can compress the most words into the smallest ideas of any man I ever met.

Earlier this fall (early October), Kevin Sothman, my Purina Salesman and I attended the National Angus Conference and Tour in Kansas, headquartered out of Wichita. Besides good speakers the first day, we visited ranches in the northeast part of the state, the second day (at one point we were half way back home) and in southwestern Kansas the third day. I was especially interested in a presentation by Dr. Daryl Strohbehn, Iowa State U. and Dr. Bob Weaber, Kansas State U. Their presentation was, “Feed Efficiency and Its Impact on Production Systems.” Most of the stops on the tour were at good performance herds: McCurry Bros., Sankey, Fink, Lyons, Historic Cottonwood Falls, Pratt Feeders, Gardiner, Giles, and Stuckey.

I will prepare and some day my chance will come.

Bud Williams, Independence, Kansas, inventor of the “Bud Box” for low stress cattle handling died from pancreatic cancer on November 25th. Bud was about 80 years old. He, along with Temple Grandin, revolutionized livestock handling by use of simple alleys and pens plus gentle handling. Bud was so good with gentle handling, he could bring wild animals into catches in Africa. He taught classes with 50 students each on how to work cattle with gentle handling. Over a period of years he taught hundreds of stu-dents how to work cattle.

Temple Grandin is 15 years younger, still working at Colorado State U. as an animal science instructor and lecturing all over the World about autism as well as gentle livestock handling. Temple was born with autism and she didn’t learn to speak until she was four. She has a B.S. Degree from Franklin Pierce U., a M.S. from Arizona State U., and a Doctorate degree from U. Of Illinois at Champaign. She is considered one of “the 100 most influential people in the world.” It is said she has designed over half of all the livestock handling facilities in meat packing plants currently in existence. Temple says she is able to do this because “she thinks in pictures.” She was the subject of a very popular movie titled with her name in recent years about her life and work.

If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one? All of above quotes are from our very best President

Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States

The Driftless Region Beef Conference will be held on January 31 & February 1, 2013 at the Grand River Conference Center and Grand Harbor Resort and Waterpark, Dubuque, Iowa. Subjects to be covered: beef cattle feed efficiency, market outlook, alternative feedstuffs and changing co-products, comparison of finishing hous-ing systems, pro’s and con’s of crossbreeding, beef pasture manage-ment, winter cow feeding strategies, replacement female strategies, and marketing holstein steers. Speakers are experts in their subject areas. Sponsor and exhibitor displays and much more will be there as well. Program cost is $80 before January 23rd and $100 after. Lodging is $79 per night. See you there. n

Something to Think AboutBy Toby muller

I got to have one of those “hard to have” conversations with Dawson and Hannah today. You might be thinking, “isn’t 6 and 9 a little young to be talking about the birds and bees?” My answer to this would of course be “no, I’m a reproduction guy; it’s never too early to talk about that stuff.” Unfortunately, my tough talk involved a much more difficult subject. I tried to explain to my kindergartener and third-grader why someone would force themselves into a school and shoot a bunch of kids. As I attempted to inform my kids without scaring them, I said, “It’s not something that’s likely to happen in Adair, Iowa.” That’s when Dawson said, “then why did it happen there?” What a great question.

I would have liked to tell him that things like that don’t hap-pen in the Midwest, but history has proven otherwise. We have had tragedies in Oklahoma City, Omaha and recently Denver. It turns out that there’s sick people everywhere and that prob-ably won’t change anytime soon. As I’m writing this, I’ve al-ready heard anti-gun legislation is in the works. This is where

I get even more confused. As we get a cold reminder of how fragile life is, I look for ways to better protect my family and this does include the use of firearms. When we go out, I exercise my right to carry a concealed weapon. Not sometimes, all the time. And if a band of thugs make their way to my house just a short mile off of I-80 the first thing I’d be looking for would be my so-called evil assault rifle/coyote gun. The reason? It can shoot lots of bullets quickly and accurately, which would give us the best chance of surviving. I know some people would call this a little over the top and would like to tighten gun laws in order to protect the public. I just hope the legislators that try to pass that bill make sure and tell the bad guys not to use them either. The second amendment wasn’t written to protect our right to hunt, it was written so that individuals could protect themselves against enemies-both foreign and domestic. After all, even if the government could take guns away from the sick and deranged, which they can’t, they’d just look on the inter-net to figure out how to build a fertilizer bomb or some other means of mass-destruction. Maybe we should ban the internet? Or fertilizer?

Please continue to keep our recent victims in your prayers.n

Hoover Dam has established a high-quality reputation as the sales leader at ORIgen and the breed’s 10th top sire for registrations in 2012. He uniquely combines calving-ease, muscle, eye-appeal, gentle disposition and carcass quality. A testament to his fertility, Hoover Dam has been producing 1200 units per week at ORIgen.

The breed’s 4th top sire for registrations in 2012, CC&7 is the original and longest-standing Docility breed leader. More than 6,000 progeny through AHIR® showcase his strengths for calving ease, growth, docility, muscle, and superior $Beef. 132 CC&7 sons sold at Hoover Angus have averaged $6284!

Excitement sons topped the Hoover Angus bull sale last year, averaging $8977! He is a true “spread” bull, whose progeny are easily marketable because they are calving-ease cattle without sacrificing growth and muscle.

The favorite herd sire of many international visitors to Hoover Angus this past summer! Emperor will improve dispositions and udder quality while maintaining frame size and an excellent EPD package. He is an outcross to many of today’s popular Angus genetics.

Poised to be the next great herd sire at Hoover Angus, Counselor’s Ribeye EPD and $Beef topple the top 1% of the breed! Progeny from his first calf crop sell February 5, 2013, and have potential to be the top-selling sire group.

$192,000 sensation used by prominent breeders across the country as a yearling! Tired of looking at 2-dimensional cattle? Bullseye is the answer! He offers substance and muscle that is extremely rare in the breed. Combine that with his favorable 50K and Igenity calving-ease scores, and he becomes very intriguing!

TEMPLE’S TOP ANIMAL

HANDLING TIPSby Temple Grandin,

Colorado State University

Animal behaviorist and Colorado State University professor Temple Grandin has built a career on sensing how livestock react when being handled. Here’s her quick list of do’s and don’ts for you and your crew when you are rounding up the herd:

Do calm down. Temple advocates that her number one rule around live-stock is to remain quiet. She reports that research has shown loud voices and yell-ing scares animals more than clanging gates and chains. Along with that, cattle that become agitated have been shown to have lower weight gains and marbling scores – because they end up putting energy into recovering instead of into performance.

Grandin says, “Animals are sensory thinkers. They have great memories, but they don’t store words. They store sounds and pictures.” Thus, she suggests when handling livestock, crews need to get away from language and make it a quiet and calm experience for the cattle.

Along with this she advocates low stress handling practices like fenceline weaning, which allows cattle to get on feed faster because they’ve experienced minimal stress.

Do make first experiences pleasant. Temple advocates that an important live-stock handling principle is to make ani-mals’ first experiences with a new place, piece of equipment or person a favorable one. “They don’t forget,” she say, and adds, “An initial experience that is averse can create a permanent fear memory in that animal.”

Temple explains that new things are both scary and attractive to an animal. The experience is scary if it is forced or suddenly introduced. But the experience can be made attractive, if the animal is allowed to investigate it on its own.

Therefore, she suggests introducing new steps gradually. For instance a guy on a horse and a guy on the ground are two differ-ent things to an animal. So if cattle are used to seeing a horse and rider, slowly introduce them to a person walking through the herd on the ground, and vice versa. Don’t introduce that person on the ground the very day you try to move the animals.

Likewise, show animals should be habituated to flags, strange people, noise, etc before they go to an event.

Don’t keep animals penned alone. “One of the most danger-ous animals is the lone animal,” says Temple. Being alone is high-ly stressful, so bring some other animals in with it, she suggests.

Don’t select for temperament only. Temple cautions that single trait selection is never a good idea. As an example, she says if

Another great year at the Iowa Cattlemen’s Convention and just great people! I was visiting with my good friend, Mindy Campfield, about the upcoming Iowa Beef Expo when she told me one of the funniest stories about her son, Rowdy, and husband, Rob. Rob and Rowdy were out riding the four-wheeler checking crops and saw some “reindeer” in the corn. So I guess Rowdy proceeded to yell, “Hey

you, reindeer, get out of my dad’s corn!” That being said, when they went to see Santa recently, instead of telling Santa what he wanted for Christmas, Rowdy pointed his finger at Santa and says “Hey! You need to keep your reindeer outta my dad’s corn!” Just made me laugh!

I wanted to start this article with a funny story because in the light of the recent tragedy in Connecticut. I have been very overwhelmed with the need to hold those people most dear to me a little closer. In fact, Taylor informed me that I was “hugging too hard” the first couple nights after we learned of the loss. I don’t know about all of you, but I know I have been trying to slow down and enjoy the little moments and have a little extra patience with the kids. We have had many “talks” about heaven and Taylor piped up and said, “It’s okay Momma I would wait for you with Cali and Helen.” Cali is our cat that passed away this year and Helen was my great aunt. She just seems so completely at ease with the thought of going to heaven if anything bad were to happen. May God bless you and your family in this new year and maybe give your loved ones an extra squeeze!

Please continue to keep our military and all of the families that have lost loved ones in your prayers! Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
