Hampshire Breeders and Members,

I enjoy scavenging for old agricultural books at antique stores wherever I go. Recently, I picked up a first edition of Sheep Production, printed in 1927, the

author being Levi Jackson Horlacher. This exhaustive resource discusses many aspects of sheep production and evaluates several breeds, including Hampshires. The native home to our breed is Hampshire county England, where in the early 1800’s several breeds were crossed to form this composite breed. Hampshire sheep were

exhibited the first time at the Show of the Royal Agricultural Society of Oxford in 1840 under the name of West Country Downs. Breeding and crossing continued, when in 1861 the Royal Agricultural Society of England recognized the Hampshire as a distinctive breed. The author later states that they were first imported into America in

1855, when five ewes and a ram were brought to New York. This chapter concludes discussing breed societies, both English and American, which were formed in 1889. At the time of print, the author stated that at the 1926 meeting of the AHSA a committee was appointed to determine the correct type of Hampshire, particularly with reference to the wool covering over the face.

Now jump ahead 93 years, and we have several committees that have been busy preparing for the 2019 season. The show and sale committee, chaired

by Debbie Deal, brought before the board a new AHSA internet sale that will be held just prior to NAILE for bred/exposed ewes, ewe lambs and rams. The sale was ap-

proved by the board and will make at total of three internet sales, of which any AHSA member in good standing can participate. The committee also suggested keeping the Sedalia youth show another year, hoping that there would be more participation in its second year.

Ted VanHorn, chair of the promotions committee, brought

forth several items that needed to be addressed, including those that

have been normal items of promotion, but has suggested some new banners to help advertise our breed. Be on the look out for these at regional and national shows and sales. The committee also addressed apparel as

well as some new items that we will look into to help advertise our breed. These items will be for sale at a nominal cost.

The junior committee is working with a great junior board

to develop new programs for this group. Katelyn Parsons, chair, led a

conference call with the junior board and senior committee members

in January. Here the group suggested different items that would help

motivate junior participation. Several items were discussed, including an essay, video and cooking contest. Logistics of the cooking contest were discussed and it was suggested that maybe a recipe contest might be

considered instead. This committee will continue to work with the juniors

to facilitate new programs to educate and drive enthusiasm for our youth.

Finally, Tom Bobendrier, gave comments as chair of the

futurity committee. Parameters and rules are to remain the same and a

showmanship class was discussed. The committee’s recommendation and the boards overall opinion was that there would be no showmanship op-

tion at this time and it may be reevaluated at the end of the year. We did

discuss the need to continue to educate both breeders and young people

as to the purpose of this program. The Hampshire office has targeted this issue with a one-page handout that does an excellent job at describing this program. It was handed out last fall at NAILE, is available on the

association website, some version will be sent out over facebook (several

different times over the course of several months), as well as several other ways to disseminate to our membership.

I appreciate all the hard work that the committees have put in thus far,

if you have suggestions, please let Jeff or one of us on the Board know.

We are happy to hear from our constituency and always looking for ways to improve our association. I also wanted to say a public goodbye to the

board members who termed out last year. Thank you to Lisa Hanson and

Featuring Wheaton Hampshires

Intr oduce yourself & your family

Wheaton Hampshires started 100 years ago as a 4-H project with the Wheaton Brothers – Verness (Lee’s father) and E lwood. Today, Wheaton Hampshires is a combined effort from 3 generations - Lee and Denise along with their two children Megan Ritter and Brant, and their spouses Matt and Samantha. Rounding out the family are five amazing grandchildren Megan and Matt have three children, Jackson (10), Cole (8), and Brynn (3), and Brant and Samantha have a son Parker (3) and daughter Sawyer (7 months). Our farm is in Eaton County, MI and has been in our family since the 1870’s. Lee and Denise along with farm manager David Scales live at the home farm while Megan, Matt and their family reside in Fortville, IN. Brants family lives about 40 miles from the farm in Caledonia, MI.

G ive us a brief description of your Hampshire F lock

We presently run 75 purebred Hampshire ewes along with 100+ crossbred recipient ewes utilized in our embryo transfer program. With over ½ of our lambs coming from our embryo transfer program, we constantly turn over the flock to maintain numbers, selling about 1/3 of our ewe base each year.

Hampshire sheep have a long-standing history with our family and farm. Hampshires have been on the farm continuously since 1957 and prior to that Verness and Elwood raised Hampshires and Oxfords dating back to 1919. Although all of our sheep today are club lamb type, prior to 2009 we also raised frame sheep for many years.

W hy did you choose t o include registered Hampshries in your sheep operation?

Choosing Hampshires was not really a choice, Verness had an established flock of Oxfords and Southdowns, and when we decided to raise Hampshires again they became Lee’s 4-H project. This expansion happened when Graydon Blank, the Michigan State University sheep extension specialist bought three ewes for us in the prestigious Lakefield Farms dispersal sale in the fall of 1957 - two of the ewes cost $35 and the third $40. As they say, the rest is history and Hampshires have become a focal point of our families lives from that day forward.

W hat advice do you have for people starting out in t he sheep business? This is certainly true of many families engaged in any form of livestock enterprise - If it isn’t the focus of the families efforts you won’t make it very far. Make it a family project and purchase the best females you can afford, they are the cornerstone of every decision you will make. With the availability of AI, embryo transfer and now sexed semen, it is possible to gain a foothold in the industry fairly rapidly.

Having an eye for structure and soundless is important, but just as important is a solid, honest evaluation of your own sheep. Appreciate the progress you make, but never be satisfied. There is an old saying that once a man reaches his goal he is going backwards, but there is no danger of this for the livestock breeder, for even the wisest of us, who ever they may be cannot in the course of 100 lifetimes accumulate enough knowledge to create the “perfect one.”

W hat are one or t wo items t hat you have found t o be critical for t he success of your sheep operation?

A relentless focus on the female side of our flock and becoming comfortable with change. We try to keep things in constant motion, turning the flock over quickly, rarely using a ram for more than 2 years, and never settling for one that just “did a nice job”. We have remained focused on the things that matter most to us, and even when the trends shift we’ve tried not to over-correct and chase the trend.

HAMPSHIRE HEARTBEAT.indd 6

2/28/19 9:25 PM

W ho are some people t hat you credit for your success wit h Hampshires?

Some of the most influential people were certainly my parents (Verness and Crystal), but beyond them it was the great folks and families that we competed against every summer on the show circuit. We would show at as many as 14 county fairs, as well as, the Michigan State Fair. I’m not sure how many times we’ve shown against the Wetzel Sisters (now Judy Moore and Linda Harwood) or the Chapman Family here in Michigan. Later Dick Stuart came along and was a great competitor and friend. I’ve often thought how fortunate I was to grow up at a time of such innocence when your parents would drop you and the sheep off at a fair, usually on a Sunday, and reappear on show day and then move you and the sheep to another fair for the following weeks show. All while also tending to a small dairy herd, making hay, and baling straw.

It wasn’t just the freedom to be on your own, a thing that was important, but the learning that went on with that responsibility was vital for my growth as a person and evaluator of livestock. Of course there was a fair amount of goofing off and hilarity that went along with the hard work of feeding, washing and fitting as many as 40-50 head of sheep for each fair. Fred Buckham of Kalamazoo, MI and the entire Buckham Family were also so critical in encouraging our sheep operation and have become dear friends over the years. Jeff Gordeneer grew up in a house on our farm and started working for us as a ten year old – now with his family he is not only a great friend, but a partner in the industry. Charles and Nancy have remained close friends for years, the relationship and partnership formed years ago were the driving force behind our success in the frame business.

What is your favorite sports team?

We all bleed green and white, MSU Spartans through and through. 3 generations have graduated from Michigan State (Verness, Lee, Megan, and Brant) and the grandkids have green and white aspirations.

What is your favorite food?

When it comes to food - it’s all good, some is just better than others.

What is the favorite place you have visited?

Our family has been fortunate to travel quite a lot and we still take a family vacation with all the kids and grandkids, once if not twice a year. In the past few years some of the more memorable trips have been to Italy (Tuscany), Arizona and the Grand Canyon, Cabo Mexico, Disney World, and Northern, MI. For us it’s just about getting away and enjoying some time together.

Dr. Mike and Dixie Harms, Kelly Harms (daughter) & John Niedermeyer (her husband), Erin Harms (granddaughter) & KC Johnson (her husband), and Scott (son), Katie (his wife), Luke and Ellie Harms (grandchildren).

G ive us a brief description of your Hampshire F lock

My brothers Jed and Dan Harms started in Hampshires in the 1960s. In the 1970s, we purchased some Hamps from Don Bischof of Wilsonville, Oregon and some more breeding stock from Charlie and Wanda Daugherty and Hamp City, both from Molalla, Oregon. Early on we used Hubbard and Hogg breeding, along with rams from Heggemeiers, Schlichter, and more recently Char-Land Farms. This year we used a ram from Burns-Hales Livestock, and are very excited with the lambs we got. Due to some changes in the family farm, we’ve cut back the flock to about 20 ewes. I’m very pleased to see all my grandchildren taking an interest in the Hampshires.

W hy did you choose t o include registered Hampshries in your sheep operation? My father and grandfather raised five breeds of purebred sheep from 1930-1960s: Cotswolds, Lincolns, Shropshires, Southdowns, and Oxfords. As the wool market declined, we switched to Hampshires to sell at purebred sales, as commercial sires, and as market animals. We really appreciate the frame and muscling of the Hampshires, and appreciate the capaciousness and good mothering of our Hamps. It’s also really important for breeders to register their animals and adhere to a breed standard when they select stock for their flocks.

W hat advice do you have for people starting out in t he sheep business? Sheep farming is a very rewarding family endeavor, but it does take a big commitment. Be prepared to keep good records and put in some long hours during lambing season. Find an established breeder in your area who can mentor you and teach you good shepherding practices. Establish a good working relationship with a veterinarian with sheep experience. Be sure to pick the type of sheep operation that fits your lifestyle and your farm.

W hat are one or t wo items t hat you have found t o be critical for t he success of your sheep operation? We were able to develop great relationships with fellow breeders in our area who were able to help us select good breeding stock and learn more about feeding, fitting, and showing.

W ho are some people t hat you credit for your success wit h Hampshires?

My father, W.C. “Hap” Harms for his work ethics, knowledge of farming, and his dedication to this family. Don Bischof for his help with selection and feeding. Don Schlichter for the ram “Totally Awesome.” Lisa Hanson of Char-Land Farms for several excellent rams. Billy Wade for his feeding and fitting expertise.

What is your favorite sports team?

Oregon State Beavers, Seattle Seahawks, Portland Trail Blazers, and Seattle Mariners.

What is your favorite food?

German food, never met a brat, sausage or sauerkraut I didn’t love.

What is the top item on your bucket list? Watching my grandkids succeed in their lives.

What is the favorite place you have visited? Rock Island Fish Camp in Little Fort, British Columbia

UPDATE FROM THE AHSA OFFICE

I write these notes as I look out at the latest snow that we received. I know this has been a challenging winter for most of you. I know personally it has been a long one for our area. Hopefully, by the time you read this you have received some spring like days.It has been a very busy few months in our office as we are now serving 34 associations with the newest one being the American Tarentaise Association. We have also received interest from a couple other associations. By serving these associations we are able to spend more of our resources promoting Hampshires. Speaking of promoting Hampshires, your AHSA board has worked hard to continue to develop new ways to continue to give back to our membership. We have several promotional items to give to current and new members. We are sending welcome packets to both new members and new buyers of Hampshires to help get them off to a successful start with their Hampshire enterprise. The AHSA will again help sponsor the MJPS and AAJS as well as host a junior show at the Midwest Stud Ram Sale on Tuesday evening June 26th. Make plans to bring one or two ewe lambs or yearling ewes to the show and receive buyersâ€™ credits, awards and cash. There will also be three divisions of showmanship. We want to grow this into a yearly event to support our Hampshire youth. We also want to encourage our juniors to support our breeders by purchasing futurity nominated ewe lambs. When you purchase these ewe lambs, then show them and turn in futurity forms, you are eligible to win additional prize money from the AHSA. As the AHSA office has grown and developed new programs we have encountered some growing pains. You will find in this issue both an application for a summer intern as well as an application for a director of member services. This is the third year for the summer intern and it has been a very successful program. The director of member services is a new position that is being created to assist the executive secretary with a wide range of tasks. By filling these positions, we will be better equipped to serve our membership in the years ahead. If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions do not hesitate to contact Jeff at the AHSA office at 785-456-8500 or asregistry@gmail.com

Longtime Hampshire Secretary Passes Away James Clifford Cretcher, 92, of Columbia died Monday, Jan. 7, 2019.

In 1949, he married Joy Carpenter, and she preceded him in death on Oct. 27, 2014. The Cretcher family moved from Oregon to Missouri in 1975, when Jim became Executive Secretary of the American Hampshire Sheep Association. He was a member of Bethel Church for several years.

GOAL SETTING & BREAKING Dr. Alison Crane Alison grew up in Warrior, AL. She received her B.S. in Animal Science in 2012 from Berry College in Rome, GA. Following graduation, Alison began her M.S. in ruminant nutrition at the NDSU Hettinger Research Extension Center in Hettinger, ND, which was completed in 2014, and received her Ph.D. in reproductive physiology in March 2017 under the directions of Drs. Christopher Schauer, Reid Redden, and Kendall Swanson. Alison’s research program focused on most aspects of sheep production and extension including nutrition, reproductive physiology, as well as wool and carcass character. Dr. Crane is the new Extension Sheep & Meat Goat Specialist at Kansas State University and will have a regular column in the Hampshire Heartbeat with timely advice for Hampshire breeders and the sheep industry.

I have always been a very driven and goal-oriented person. I knew from a young age that I had three main passions: 1) I wanted to work with animals, 2) I wanted to help people, and 3) I wanted to travel and learn about the world. I learned the habits that made pursuing such goals possible. I I attended graduate programs that allowed me to learn about and work with sheep and sheep producers on a daily basis. I pursued my Ph.D., made the goal of becoming a sheep extension specialist. I wrote grants to travel and have attended sheep conferences internationally and across the United States. Then, a year and a half ago, I became a sheep extension specialist. That was really the last box to tick of my long-term goals. I began to ask myself the questions: What’s next? And What do I want to do now?

When we begin to do this and have not determined the ‘new’ vision or long-term goal setting for our personal or professional lives or businesses, we lose direction, let other people’s opinions hold too much stock in our decisions, and lose focus on what really matters to our overall goals. I write this to encourage you to continue learning and education yourself by attending seminars and clinics, but to also push yourself and your business to set goals, document your business model, and actually write down what you want your business to stand for. What is your vision? You might ask how do you begin to do this? I included some of the first steps to documenting these things below. I guarantee you that taking these few steps will lead to more questions, but they will also allow you to better understand your business’ vision for the future and better guide your daily decisions. 1. Write your top five core values. a. What defines your business? b. What are your passions? 2. Write the core focus of your business. a. From #1, what a is the overall theme? b. Your niche? Your purpose/passion/cause? 3. Write your 10-year target. a. Don’t be too conservative; ten years is a long time! 4. Write your target market(s). 5. Define your 3 year picture next. a. What date is that? b. What do you think your cost of production is? Or do you know it? c. Revenue? Other measures (equity, net profit, etc.)? 6. What do you want all of those things to be on your farm in three years? a. What are your goals to accomplish on-farm in three years? 7. Do the same for one year goals. 8. Do the same again for 90 days from now. a. How long will these take approximately? b. What issues might you have accomplishing these?

These points give you a solid start for goal setting both personally and professionally. I do this personally in a journal/planner; it’s also how I prioritize my ‘to-do list’. The main thing to remember is that there are no goals too lofty and that no one is responsible for your goals other than you. You are in control of your business, your goals, and most of all, your life. “Don’t let someone who gave up on their dreams talk you out of yours.” HAMPSHIRE HEARTBEAT.indd 22

By-Products of Sheep

What is a by-product? Do sheep have by-products? Where do by-products come from? There are by-products that sheep produce that can be used in everyday life, and some of them we donâ€™t even know that they came from sheep. First, we should answer the question of what is a by-product. A by-product is something that can be made or produced from the original product. Sheep have by-products that come from all different parts of their body. Some common by-products people often think of when they think of sheep include: meat, wool, hide, casings for sausage, animal feeds, like dog food, leather, and lanolin. While all of these products come from the sheep, they come from different parts of the sheep. For example, the casings come from the intestines, but the material for dog food comes from the fatty acids of the carcass. Other by-products that come from the intestines are strings that can be used for instruments like guitars and violins. The fats and fatty acids from sheep provide a variety of by-products that can be included in a lot of everyday items. They are commonly used in wax products like candles and crayons. They can also be found in a product called glycol which is used in brake fluid, and glycerol is what makes the asphalt on roads stick together. The most shocking thing about fats and fatty acids is that they can be found in common makeup items, tanning lotion, and hand creams.

Other by-products that come from sheep include: shampoo, bone china, tape, shaving cream, baseballs, artistry brushes, and other sporting goods. Bone china comes from the bones of a sheep, while shampoos and conditioners can come from the keratin within the bones and hooves. Keratin is the protein that is in your hair and helps your hair grow. Adhesive tape and piano keys also are products of the hooves and bones of sheep.

HAMPSHIRE HEARTBEAT.indd 28

Artist brushes and baseballs are made from wool. The inside of a baseball used to be stuffed with wool, while the thread used to sew the baseball together was also made of wool. Wool itself is also a product of sheep and can be used for many different items, like clothing and blankets. Other sporting good items, like gloves, tennis balls, and basketballs can all be made from the hide. The hide is normally cheaper than beef hides, and used because they are less expensive. Since the sheep hide can be used for leather, it can be used to make the head of drums or some footwear. As you can see there are a lot of by-products that sheep have to offer, yet people do not know even a few of them. There are so many useful by-products that are not being taken full advantage of, and by knowing more about the by-products you can help spread the knowledge too!

Featuring Rachel Olver

Intr oduce yourself & your family.

My name is Rachel Olver and my parents are Mark and Tammy Olver. I’m from Beach Lake, Pennsylvania. I am 16 years old and in 11th grade at Honesdale High School. I am an eight year member of the Calkins Ag 4-H club, and a two year member of the Honesdale FFA chapter. I serve as an officer and am deeply involved in both programs. My high school has recently added an agriculture program and I am enrolled in many of the ag courses, which I believe will help me with my future career. I have maintained honor roll status each year. This summer I was appointed to Governor Wolfe Youth Council for Hunting and Fishing and Conservation for the state of Pennsylvania. I am a member of the Varsity Cross Country and Track and Field teams.

G ive us a brief description of your Hampshire F lock.

In my flock there are 6 Hampshire ewes, one Hampshire ram, and 15 crossbred ewes. I am anxiously awaiting lambing season in January.

Fav orite show you have attended and why?

My favorite show which I attended was the Northeast Youth Sheep Show at the Eastern States Expo in Springfield, MA. This show was a lot of fun and the best part was that the youth had to get their sheep ready for the show and parents weren’t allowed to help in any aspect. It was enjoyable because there was a sense of comaraderie, as children of all ages helped and supported each other. I made many long lasting friendships at this show, and always look forward to seeing the friends that I made there at other shows.

W hat do you like about Hampshires?

I like the calm, friendly disposition of Hampshires, and the breed characteristics such as shaggy legs.

W hat is your fondest sheep memor y?

It’s hard to pick just one moment, so I’ll share a few. The first memory is attending NAILE, for the first time, in 2017 and winning Junior Champion Slick Shorn Hampshire Ewe. Another favorite moment is when a family friend’s daughter, who is six, showed one of my ewes. I have to admit it was pretty adorable when she beat me and walked around with the medal on her neck. She was on cloud nine and I was very proud of her. Ending the 2018 show season with second and third place in the Futurity Programs was pretty exciting too!

HAMPSHIRE HEARTBEAT.indd 38

2/28/19 9:26 PM

Future plans and goals.

I will continue to show my Hampshires at the local, state, and national levels, and mentor younger kids in the livestock industry. I plan to attend a four year university and get a degree in Enviornmental Science, then become a Pennsylvania Game Warden.

Advice you would like t o share wit h junior Hampshire members? Don’t wait to get involved, I was 15 when I started

showing Hampshires, and I wish I could’ve begun many years earlier. Never be nervous about going to a bigger show, it’s a great way to learn and improve your skills. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, it’s a way to gain more knowledge. Things may not always be easy, but don’t give up; my sheep have taught me hard work is the path to success. Lastly, believe in yourself and have confidence, it shows in the ring! AHSA FINANCIAL STATEMENT JANUARY 1, 2018 – DECEMBER 31, 2018

Pennsylvania Hampshire Sheep Association Officers President/Secretary: Mindy Holtry 717-776-4192 The main focus of the PHSA is to support junior Hampshire exhibitors at the Keystone International.

Ted Van Horn - New District 5 Director My sheep interest started with a 4-H project. When I was seven, I purchased several bred registered Hampshire ewes from Waldo Farms of DeWitt Nebraska. I have had Hampshire ewes ever since. My daughter, Jansyn, and I currently run around 35 Hampshire ewes and 15 Shropshire ewes. We sell a few 4-H lambs to local kids in the area and we try to show at the Kansas and Nebraska State Fairs. I am currently the County Executive Director, (CED), of Pawnee & Edwards County FSA Offices in Kansas. My main goal as a director of the Hampshire Board is to keep promoting the breed any way possible. The Hampshire breed right now is on top and we need to make sure it stays that way. We need to know that everyone has a different idea of the ideal Hampshire and respect others that have a different opinion than ours. We all like to raise what we like and would not be in the business if we were raising animals that we did like to go feed and look at. I would like to try keep the breeds shows in our County, district and State Fairs. This is a way to keep the breeds important. The people that run the shows say black face and white face and weigh them up is easier for them. We need to support and help and give feedback to these shows to keep the breed showâ€™s important. I recently got married to Kris, she currently works at the Farmers State Bank in Jetmore, Kansas and is trying to adjust to lambing season on the farm. We are excited to host the All American Junior show in Kansas in 2019. Winter 2019 â€˘ Page 45 HAMPSHIRE HEARTBEAT.indd 45

Dina King - New District 1 Director

My start in the sheep industry was a Suffolk market lamb that I exhibited at the Sonoma County Fair. At eight years old, wide-eyed and eager, I wanted to learn everything I could about feeding, showing and fitting. Back then, the market lambs were fitted and I watched how our family friend, Alyce, turned Susie the Suffolk from scruffy to sparkling. That one lamb sparked my passion for sheep and I started my small flock of Hampshires with three aged Hogg-Hubbard ewes. The sheep became a family affair with my dad, mom, and sister. We grew our program to 75 Hampshire and Suffolk ewes on our small farm in Santa Rosa, CA. Summer was always my favorite time of year squeezing in as many shows and sales as the calendar would allow. We traveled up and down the west coast and regularly headed east to Colorado and Missouri. As an active member in 4-H I joined several projects, held three officer positions in my club, was a Sonoma County All-Star and a 4-H Sheep State Winner. Aside from my sheep, my favorite project was livestock judging. I was encouraged by my older cousins to join the judging project and learn how to give reasons. My mom reminds me how petrified I was to get in front of the official judge and say my piece. Little did I know this would evolve into a life-long passion. I was fortunate to be a member of back-to-back State Champion Judging Teams in 4-H and FFA and will always be grateful for the support of my coaches and team members for the skills learned and memories made. I attended Santa Rosa Junior College and met my husband on a blind date, thanks to a good friendâ€™s creativity. We attended California Polytechnic State University where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Agribusiness Marketing. We settled back in Sonoma County, got married and had two daughters. When the girls were old enough for 4-H we let them choose their projects and discover what sparked their passion. Courtney chose pigs, Amanda chose sheep and both enjoyed showing Holstein heifers from the King Brothers dairy. King Diamond Ranch has evolved in Petaluma, CA where we raise registered Hampshire sheep, a handful of wether dams and a sow operation focused on Yorkshire, Berkshire and Crossbred hogs. Like when I was young, it is a family adventure where everyone plays a part in the program. My parents taught me the importance of volunteering and giving back. I have been coaching 4-H and FFA livestock judging teams for the past ten years. It is a time commitment during a busy time of year but the returns are worth it. Nothing is more rewarding than watching a shy, indecisive kid blossom into a confident, well-spoken individual. I have been involved in our youth organizations and now am shifting my focus to the American Hampshire Sheep Association. As the District 1 Director my goal is to spark involvement with west coast breeders and encourage youth participation in the organization. I have learned that kids want to get involved but often need more guidance from their leaders and adults. We have a great group of young members and I am excited about our plans for this year.

ASI Annual Convention Wraps Up The American Sheep Industry Association’s 2019 Annual Convention marched into New Orleans Jan. 23-26 and marched out with new officers and a revamped executive board to lead the industry through the challenges of the new year. Benny Cox of San Angelo, Texas, was elected president to succeed Mike Corn of New Mexico. His personal involvement in sheep - whether it be in production, feeding or trading - has lasted more than 50 years. Cox is a past president of the Texas Sheep and Goat Raisers’ Association and has been a member of ASI’s Lamb Council. He is joined on the officer team by vice president Susan Shultz of DeGraff, Ohio, and secretary/treasurer Brad Boner of Glenrock, Wyo. There were four changes to the ASI Executive Board. Steve Clements of South Dakota was elected to represent region four. Randy Tunby of Montana was elected in region seven, and region eight elected Sarah Smith of Washington. Finally, Bob Harlan of Wyoming stepped into the National Lamb Feeders Association position on the board. The ASI Lamb Council crafted grassroots policy on the industry’s response to current and emerging alternative sources of protein, including laboratory-cultured proteins. Having closely monitored the development of these products and the evolving regulatory framework, members of ASI weighed in supporting the administration’s approach of joint oversight between the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety Inspection Service and the Food and Drug Administration. The policy clearly states that the association opposes any efforts to mislead consumers or disparage traditionally produced natural lamb in product promotion, advertising or labeling. ASI will remain at the forefront of this conversation as the development, regulation and marketing of these products moves forward. America’s sheep producers are proud of the healthy lamb they raise and only aim for a level playing field to ensure consumers have the information needed to make decisions that are in their family’s best interest. ASI was pleased to present former House Agriculture Committee Chairman Mike Conaway (Texas) with the industry’s highest honor - the Joe Skeen Award. In his tenure as chairman, Conaway drafted the most favorable House version of the Farm Bill for the sheep industry in more than three decades. Conaway fought hard for inclusion of the industry’s priorities, not just in the House bill, but all the way through the conference with the Senate to the bill signed by the president. But Conaway wasn’t the only award winner at the 2019 ASI Annual Convention. North Dakota’s Burdell Johnson earned the McClure Silver Ram Award for a lifetime of service to the sheep industry. He has been a regular attendee at the convention for the past two decades and volunteers his time to serve as auctioneer for both the Rams PAC and the ASI Women’s auctions. He was also instrumental in creating the Young Entrepreneur group that included more than 70 attendees at this year’s annual convention. He continues to mentor the group to this day. Montana dominated the Friday awards luncheon, picking up honors in three of the five categories awarded by ASI. Producer John Helle became just the second winner of the Industry Innovation Award for his efforts in leading the family operation to begin manufacturing its own wool clothing line: Duckworth. He was joined onstage by John and Nina Baucus, who were selected for the Distinguished Producer Award. The husband and wife team have both held leadership positions at the state and national levels through the years while continuing to work on their historic ranch near Helena, Mont. Ag broadcaster Russell Nemetz, also of Montana, was named the Shepherd’s Voice Award winner for his efforts to promote the sheep industry through the media. While he wasn’t on hand for the convention, former ASI staffer Paul Rodgers of West Virginia joined the full board of directors meeting via Skype. In addition to recognizing Rodger’s 2018 retirement, ASI officers honored him with the association’s Camptender Award for his efforts on everything from animal health to LRP-Lamb insurance to mandatory price reporting in three-plus decades of service with the association. Look for extensive coverage of the ASI Annual Convention in the March issue of the Sheep Industry News.

KJELDGAARD FARMS “Our passion, sheep with style and size.” WE LIKE OUR GIRLS For nearly 50 years we’ve had the same vision of what we wanted our ewes to look like. athletic, large framed, sound, pretty and functional in the barn. We still have that same vision even when trends and fads have come and gone. From the start our philosophy has been to breed the best females in the breed. This has been and always will be the cornerstone of our breeding program. Behind every great Stud ram in our program, stands an unbelievable female that can stand up to the competition in the show ring, but most importantly EXCELS in the lambing barn.

WE MAKE OUR GIRLS DO THEIR PART, AND THEY DON’T LET US DOWN.
