ESSAGE

Dear Fellow Members, Thankfully the Stockman’s Directory issue deadline allowed me to wait to write this until most everyone has had a little rain and the Mid Year Meeting was concluded. The world is a much brighter place than it was two weeks ago, at least for most of us. On the good news side, we had a tremendous Mid Year Convention, the first ever that included the New Mexico Cattle Growers, the New Mexico Wool Growers, the New Mexico CowBelles and the New Mexico Farm & Livestock Bureau. There were well over 500 people in attendance from the U.S. and Mexico. We had speakers from Washington, D.C. to Utah. While everyone who attended was special; among the most gratifying were the number candidates, elected officials and members of state government who made time in their schedules to be with us. We had the Lt. Governor, three members of the Martinez cabinet, one candidate for the U.S. Senate, as well as two candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives and staff representation from two sitting members of Congress who are currently running for federal office. In addition to that we had a bi-partisan group of more than 15 candidates for the New Mexico Legislature. You aren’t going to find this many decision makers in one room any place beside the Roundhouse during the Legislature. These folks know the importance of agriculture to the state and the nation. We need to be sure that we keep them and everyone else running for office informed about our family businesses and rural New Mexico. In November New Mexico will not only participate in the presidential election, but we will be electing a senator, three congressmen and every member of the New Mexico Legislature. This is the second time in my lifetime that we have had such a great opportunity to take leadership and elect leadership who will do what the country and the state need as well as what we need. Four years ago we elected a president, a new senator and three new members of Congress and a new Legislature. We have seen change, both good and bad. Now we have the opportunity to make that monumental difference again. The General Election is still months away, but that time will fly. Now is the time to get to know who is running for office in both parties. Let them get to know you and your family. We cannot wait until after the election to try and make an impression. If you need assistance in scheduling a meeting with a candidate, please let the office know and they will make every effort to assist. Unfortunately for the past two months we have had to sit by and watch our precious land go up in flames as a result of misguided federal policies developed in Washington, D.C. or in courtrooms by people who have little to no understanding of the world we live in and have cared for over the generations. While the fires have everyone stirred up right now, the real problem is the mismanagement of forests that, for decades has created the perfect storm for the horrific fires we are now experiencing. Today’s real losers are the peoples who lost their homes and businesses. While my family was fortunate during this fire our friends and neighbors weren’t so lucky. Watching the financial and emotional toll that the catastrophe is taking and will continue to take for years to come is heart-wrenching. There is not enough insurance in the world to replace what has been lost. On the other hand, the way our communities have pulled together to help our friends in need is truly amazing. It certainly restores faith in a cynical world. This is two years in a row that our summer meeting has faced the consequences of fire. We are a little hesitant in selecting a location for next year. With that off my chest, we now look forward to a round of great county fairs and the New Mexico State Fair in the months to come. The State Fair has shortened to 12 days, September 12 to 23, which should provide the opportunity for there to be livestock in the barns every day. Hopefully this will return the Fair to its roots, allowing the country to come to town and help let city folks know where their food, fiber and open space come from. Thanks to everyone who came to Mid Year, and special thanks to that long list of folks who sponsored the event so that it was affordable for our members. Be sure to do business with those who support you and let’s all pray for more rain! Until next month,

Instead of me writing about the fires, I thought it would be best to listen to those closest to the ground, including a retired Deputy Chief of the Forest who is speaking out. “We are not going to wish our way out of this problem. “When we have 2,500 trees per acre where historical balance demonstrates we need 150 or less, we have to get to that historical balance with firm resolve or we are going to see fires burn it all to zero!

death!” – Congressman Steve Pearce “There is a whole new dynamic that is not going to go away with the practices now being applied in our Forests. The enabling legislation for our forest system was not adorned with the side shows that we now endure. The political debacle has paralyzed the agency, and its original mission of caring for the land and serving the people no longer exists. The actions that have put us all in physical peril have also divided our communities and those families that must live in those natural surroundings. I totally agree with your Congressman (Pearce) concerning the Forest Service and lack of management.”– Bill Rice, Deputy Chief of the Forest Service, ret. “Dr. Wally Covington of Northern Arizona University has studied the condition

of the southwestern forests for over three decades. He and countless common sense people have been sounding the alarm over the increased tree densities and risk of disease, insect infestations and catastrophic wildfire. These warnings have been thwarted by green special interests through appeals and litigation. It is time that we demand that the Federal Government remove the legal barriers hampering proper forest management.” – Howard Hutchinson, Coalition of Arizona/New Mexico Counties “Anybody that has ever been in the Gila Wilderness, knows, this disastrous fire was totally predictable. The same can be said for the fire in Ruidoso, Arizona, and Colorado and all areas managed by the continued on page 18

Regional Forest office in Albuquerque. We are reaping the destruction from the many years of preservation management. We simply cannot expect the regional office to fix the problems they created. Accountability means firing all the people responsible in the regional office. We need new people who truly understand multiple use as related to forest health.” – Hugh B. McKeen, Chairman, Catron County Commission “I’ve been here 65 years. I’ve never seen any (fire) like this one. They could have put that fire out. The fire started on the May 9. Just before daylight, I could see the flames up there, just one tree burning. The forest supervisor, the fire control officer, and the dispatcher, all of them were notified. I told them, ‘It’s on fire. And there’s a snag burning and if the wind picks up like it did a week ago, it’s gonna go over the top of the mountain in nothing flat.’” – Terrell Shelly, Rancher “Then comes the two fires that started the whole Gila mess. One rancher turned the Baldy fire in on May 9 2012. The USFS had 15 days to stop this fire. Of course the USFS will say things like, ‘it was too dangerous to get fire fighters on the ground and fire retardent does not work when we do not have people on the ground.’ Frank, in my life I have seen them bomb the hell out of fires with planes. The truth is if you put a fire out none of the rest of the fire fighters make money. Guess what else we just found out. When we asked the USFS if they would bring equipment to help clean out the White Water Creek channel and others in the Glenwood, Alma, Pleasanton area, they said they could not. No equipment available and no money. When we ask for financial aid they said no. They are the ones responsible! For 30 years the USFS and Gang Green have been causing this. The citizens and Catron County are the ones reaching in their pockets and putting their equipment into the channel and doing the work.” – Bucky & Garnelle Allred, Business Owners (Glenwood) “The bottom line is failed policy through fraudulent science, flawed research of wildlife species such as the Mexican Spotted Owl, the tunnel vision focus held by environmentalist groups that recklessly use the Endangered Species Act, among other litigation, to forward an agenda that has complete disregard for

rural New Mexicans, and biased courts that rule in favor of these groups is what set the conditions for the forest management crisis of the Gila. The land is degenerating as a result because there are simply too many trees per acre in the Gila.” – Tyrell MaresForestry Student/ Soldier (Silver City, NM/ Fort Carson, CO) “All these fires here are due to many years of mismanagement. A lot of logging needs to be done to thin out the forest to give the forest a chance to regenerate and the ridiculous livestock grazing restrictions needs to be removed. I am not saying clear cut every tree or graze down the grass completely, I’m just saying the forest needs to be cleaned up.” – Amanda Farris-

Ranch Hand (Reserve) “The Forest Service should be held criminally liable for ALL of this. They close roads, they refuse to allow logging, they refuse wood cutting of any kind. They are so damn smug and self righteous and the entire den of snakes has so many hidden agendas that unless you are a member of the hidden environmental class, you have no voice in the Forest Service and then when a simple lightning strike starts a fire they won’t even look at a weather forecast to see that the wind will blow and that the fire should be put out quickly. But no, these elite eggheads know so much more than anyone else they refuse to act.” – Brad Kimmick- Mine Supervisor (Silver City) “I keep hearing how mad people are at the USFS for mismanagement of the Gila,

but the Federal Courts and the Environmental Groups need to be brought out now as the main culprits of these disastrous fires and flooding that occur after the flames go out. They kill more endangered species then they have ever saved!” – Wade Dixon- NM DOT Supervisor (Reserve) “If things continue the way they are we won’t need the Forest Service because there will not be anything to manage!” – James Koons, President/Owner of All Glass MD (Silver City) “As a land owner near the Gila forest area, I feel the fault lies with both the environmentalists and the USFS. First with the environmentalists, for taking grazing out of the forest and causing very over grown vegetation. And second the USFS continued on page 22

for thinking the Baldy Fire would burn without any problems because of being in an old burn. And due to the White Water Baldy Fire the air quality has been very poor and has caused those with respiratory problems to have to leave their home and land they love.” – Ann Clark- Nurse/ Volunteer Firefighter (Buckhorn) Any observer of these fires couldn’t help but notice they both started in Wilderness Areas. Looks like our elected officials are starting to take note too. “If you had asked me 10 years ago what I thought of the White Mountain Wilderness I would have told you I was in favor of it. The White Mountain Wilderness terrain is beautiful and unique, which should absolutely be protected. However, after years of drought, massive bug tree kill, and blown down trees, this area has become excessively under managed and highly prone to fire damage. Even though the Forest Service has proposed thinning and restoration projects in these forests, lawsuits and appeals by the Wild Earth Guardians, Center for Biological Diversity and others have totally hampered the ability of the Forest Service to manage it. The

22

JULY 2012

restrictions on roads and motorized vehicles, chainsaws, and grazing by livestock have also hurt the ability to manage this area. In my opinion, forests in the Southwest, especially those near an urban interface, should never be designated as wilderness areas. As long as the wilderness designation stands, we will not be able to control the area appropriately. This leaves us incredibly vulnerable to disastrous fire damage. We need to consider removing the wilderness designation from the White Mountain Wilderness.” – Mark Doth, Lincoln County Commissioner Until next time, be a nuisance to the devil and don’t forget to check that cinch.

The tour (qualifies for 5 SRM CEU credits) will leave at 7:30 a.m. from the Black Ranger District parking lot (1804 North Date Street) and head first to Winston to see a custom-made log cabin built from timber harvested off the Black Range before moving on to a grassland research site, a ponderosa pine restoration site with thinning and burning treatments, and a long-term riparian grazing research site. Local Black Range permittees will be on hand to discuss challenges and opportunities with grazing on federal lands. Lunch will be provided for this bring-your-own-transport tour, and there will be an open cookout/social the evening prior. The $40 fee (students $20) supports the section’s NMSU range scholarships and youth programs (including support for the N.M. Ranch Camp).

New Mexico’s Old Times and Old Timers

A Brief History of Education in New Mexico memorial from the New Mexico Territorial Legislature to the United States Congress in 1853 read, “that in no part of the United States are the means of education so deficient as in New Mexico.” And twenty years later, with more than 40,000 illiterate citizens, it appeared that not much had been done to correct the situation. Much of the problem had to do with who would control the educational process. Jean Baptiste Lamy, who became Archbishop of Santa Fe in 1852, encouraged development of a network of parochial schools, all staffed by members of the Catholic clergy. Where public schools existed — and they were few and far between — Lamy encouraged priests to serve as schoolteachers. The result was that virtually all education in New Mexico was conducted in Spanish and was Roman Catholic in orientation. As far as the church was concerned, this arrangement

A

was worth fighting for. When the Territorial Assembly was presented with a school bill during its 187576 legislative session, it was strongly supported by Territorial Secretary W. G. Ritch. Ritch was a strong Protestant and very distrustful of the Catholic Church hierarchy which held great sway over the populace. The bill provided that no public funds could be used in parochial schools and that priests would not be allowed to teach in public schools. Church leaders took the threat so seriously that Archbishop Lamy summoned Ritch for a conference to see if a compromise could be worked out. That effort failed. Then Jesuit Father Donato Gasparri of Las Vegas, the editor of a church periodical called Revista Catholica, took up the cause. The purpose of his publication, established in 1875, was “maintaining and encouraging the faith and piety of the Mex-

ican [emphasis added] population, safeguarding them from dangers of Protestantism.” Gasparri wrote of the public education bill, “[it is a] cancer which corrodes and consumes the societies of the United States.” Supporters of the bill noted that Father Gasparri’s printing press also published most text books used in New Mexico schools. Father Gasparri had enough influence that when the bill was debated in the legislature, he was seated beside the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The result was that the bill died. Ritch was outraged. He called Gasparri “that carpetbagger from Naples.” Ritch wrote scathing letters to the Santa Fe New Mexican; letters so scurrilous (according to the newspaper) that they refused to print them. Never a shrinking violet, Ritch adopted the practice of posting his news

items on bulletin boards in Santa Fe saloons by about 5:00 in the afternoon so that those who frequented such places could have the benefit of his opinions. The education bill was not immediately revived, but in the 1878 legislative session, Father Gasparri led an effort to incorporate New Mexico Jesuits under territorial laws. The stated purpose was to create a college. But it was payback time. Gasparri successfully guided the bill through passage in both houses of the territorial legislature and it was sent to Governor Samuel B. Axtell. Axtell, according to one source, hated Gasparri more than Ritch did. He promptly vetoed the bill. Gasparri then flexed his political muscle and the legislature overrode the veto and the so-call Jesuit Act was signed into law. But that was not the end of it. Gasparri’s influence did not extend beyond New Mexico’s boundaries while Ritch and Axtell were both well connected in Washington, D. C. They convinced the territorial delegate to Congress, Vicente Romero, that the law should be annulled, and at his behest, Congress did so. Father Gerald McKevitt, a Jesuit histo-

rian, quoted historian Dianna Everett regarding the issue of priests staffing public schools: “[It] left behind a legacy of bitterness that seriously retarded the growth of the public school system in New Mexico for many years.” Even though enabling legislation establishing the University of New Mexico passed in 1889, it was not until the following year that a meaningful public education bill was enacted. Even then the Church remained firmly opposed to it in spite of the fact that by then more than half of New Mexico’s population of about 110,000 were illiterate. Archbishop J. B. Salpointe, Lamy’s successor, wrote that nonsectarian education “[is] in reality sectarian, non-religious, godless or agnostic.” The United States Congress passed the Ferguson Act in 1898 and that firmly established a public school system in New Mexico Territory. At that late date, fifty-two years after United States Occupation of New Mexico, the issue of public education had much more to do with meeting the minimum standards for statehood than it did with the welfare of territorial youth. It is noteworthy, too, that the debate over public funding of Catholic schools was not resolved until the Dixon Case was

settled in 1950. It at last removed Catholic priests and nuns from New Mexico’s public school classrooms.

DATES TO REMEMBER

Greetings CowBelles, his month I want to share with you some of the details of my time in Hawaii for the Region VI Meeting. While not what I was expecting it was a wonderful experience and I am glad to have been there. We had a number of speakers who told us about ranching in Hawaii and saw lots of pictures which demonstrated how they do things,

T

but a chance to see it first-hand never materialized. I am sure that family ranching takes place in the state of Hawaii, but what we saw were big, corporate, tourist based ranches. That being said, I learned a lot that I either did not know or had never thought about.

I learned that Hawaii is currently facing the same predicament that many of us are facing, a drought. Feeding is out of the question due to the cost of shipping in the feed and they don’t have the same ability to send cattle to other pasture or to market because they are on an island. When we talk about shipping cattle we mean loading them on a truck. They literally mean “shipping”. Ranchers in Hawaii use three ways to ship their cattle to the mainland: by ship, referred to as a “floating feed yard,” by “cowtainers” loaded on cargo ships, or on a 747 airplane. The only drawback with air shipment is that they are currently limited to one load a week, thus

limiting the number of cattle that can be shipped by air. While all three ways interested me, perhaps the most unusual was the “cowtainer”. These are typical 40-foot ocean-going containers that have been converted to double-decker livestock containers that can hold up to 30,000 pounds. Stock tenders care for and feed the calves on the ship and water comes from the ship’s water supply. These cowtainers are owned by the Hawaiian cattle industry, not the shipping industry. Since these containers are only 52 inches tall Hawaiian ranchers don’t want big calves, a very different mindset from most mainland ranchers. During my time in Hawaii I realized that all ranchers face difficulties, but they all love what they do and find ways to cope with them. By far the most bizarre thing I came

across during my time in Hawaii was reading the paper at the airport the morning I left. The headline was about “mystery deer” and caught my attention. As I read I learned that when the deer showed up for the first time on the Big Island of Hawaii residents wondered how they got there. The island is about 30 miles southeast of Maui, where deer are plentiful. Yes, deer can swim but not very far. Hawaiian wildlife authorities think someone dropped a few from a helicopter on the northern tip of the island. Tracks along the southern coast indicate deer were “pushed” into the ocean from a boat and forced to swim ashore. Whether they arrived by air or sea, wildlife management want to eradicate continued on page 30

them to avoid the destruction seen on other islands where they ate through vineyards, avocado farms and forests where endangered species live. The deer population in Hawaii has no natural predators – except for humans. People had reported seeing the deer on the Big Island for a while, but it wasn’t until a motion-sensor camera captured a photo of one that their presence was confirmed. In Maui, deer have caused $1 million in damage during the past two years for farmers, ranchers, and resorts. They have spent half that amount during the same time trying to eradicate the animals. It seems to me that everyone in agriculture fights the same battles, they just have different twists. We’re all in this together and need to support each other. So when you are spending time with friends and family this summer enjoying a good burger or a juicy steak remember those who work hard to make that possible, and pray for rain. Beverly Butler, NMCB President

Powderhorn members met on Wednesday, June 6 at the Fort Sumner Church of Christ for a meeting and preparation for the Barbecue during Old Fort Days. Beverly Overton, Karen Cortese and Dorie Tucker were the committee in charge of this event. We worked at the Church of Christ because we were unable to get into the cafeteria until after one o’clock. President Joan Key called the meeting to order at 11:30 a.m. Old Business brought a report that 150 honor students and parents enjoyed beef burgers on the 21st of May. This annual event is sponsored by the Woman’s Club and Rotary and Powderhorn furnishes the beef each year. The CowBelle Mid-Year meeting will be on Monday, June 25 at the Inn of the Mountain Gods. There will be a registration fee of $10 and $25 for the Ladies Luncheon which needs to be sent to Lynn Greene by June 19. This is a joint event this year with the Cattle Growers’, Farm Bureau and CowBelles all meeting at the same time. Joan Key and Karen Kelling plan to attend and will take the Man of the Year Plaque. Other members are encouraged to go. The July meeting will be a Family Fun event at the home of Karen Kelling on July 14, a Saturday. Members need to RSVP the number planning to attend. Joan Key will

coordinate by phone and email in order to facilitate a varied meal. The group will hear Wesley Grau after lunch. Plans are in the works to have a permanent banner made to use to advertise the barbecue. This was Beverly Overton’s suggestion and it was voted to allow it. Powderhorn welcomed a new member, Aspen Achen. A delicious luncheon was provided to the workers by Sondra Jack and Dorothy Vaughan, after which we moved to the cafeteria to continue preparations. The barbecue, held on Saturday was a big success, feeding about 411 adults and 65 children. This is our one money making event held each year and allows us to fund our beef promotion and education projects and scholarships. Our thanks and appreciation go to all those who worked and helped us with a successful meal. Dorothy Vaughan Otero CowBelles held their June 9 meeting at Sunset Run Restaurant. There were 17 members and one guest, Kelly Knight of the local extension office. Before the meeting ended, Kelly Knight joined Otero CowBelles. We are so lucky that we are getting new, younger ladies joining our organization. The publicity in the newspaper concerning “Kids, Kows and More” was great and the new brand station was particularly good. About 617 children attended the event. President Rupe was directed to proceed with the BEEF raffle at the fair in partnership with Lowe’s Grocery store. Estelle Bond gave a glowing report on her trip to Region VI in Hawaii. Pres. Rupe told us that the Otero CowBelles now have their own page on Facebook, check it out. Kelly Knight gave a presentation about the many different areas where the extension service provides assistance, i.e. 4-H, Master Gardeners, Extension Clubs, (Diabetic diet) Cooking Classes, and other resources. Otero CowBelles are getting the BEEF message out in every venue possible. June 9 they entered a float in the Weed, NM Reunion/Centennial Parade. Minor mishaps made necessary changes in the configuration of the float, but being resourceful and persistent, we carried on. Even with a very strong wind, the ladies, dressed in vintage costumes, held onto their hats and waved to the crowd of over 300 people. Riding on the float were Yvonne Oliver, Tena Beanblossom, Linda and Spud Mitchum, Diana Martwick with her husband Wolf and son Eric, and Barbara Wagner. Jim Wagner provided the continued on page 31

Submitted by Barbara Wagner, Sec. The Chuckwagon CowBelles met at the Shaffer Hotel in Mountainair, New Mexico on June 12, 2012 with 20 members and one handsome young Gavin present. Toni Barrow called the meeting to order at 10:30 a.m. The Invocation, Pledge of Allegiance and CowBelle Creed were recited. Babbi Baker read the minutes from the May meeting. Cindy Robison moved to accept the minutes as read. Marilyn Mignery seconded the motion. Motion passed. Vera Gibson gave the Treasurer’s Report. The current balance is $ 2,970.55 with $160.54 in the Horses for Heroes account. Toni Barrow mentioned the insert ad in the Albuquerque Journal that several agricultural groups have joined together to finance. Marilyn Mignery moved to donate $50 to the insert cost. Elaine Aschbacher seconded the motion. Motion passed. Elaine Aschbacher made a trip to Roy, New Mexico for the 101st anniversary of the Baptist Church there. Bay Baker is home from school and said that she loves Sterling College. She’s been busy working on Web designs and staying in shape for Cross Country this fall. Nancy Brinkley has been enjoying the blooms of spring. She gathered lambs’ quarters and sautéed them with garlic, olive oil and salt. They were DELICIOUS! Toni Barrow just celebrated her 43rd wedding anniversary. She said she’s been taking a liquid called “Mangosteen” that has given her a great deal of relief from the pain in her hands. The website is www.genesispure.com. (Denise said that GNC stores may have it.) Carolyn Chance ventured to San Antonio, Texas for her granddaughter’s graduation from college. Melody Connell has been working and praying for rain. She brought her adorable grandson, Gavin, to the meeting. It’s always so promising to be around our young, polite “cowfolk.” What a blessing! Patsy Fitzgerald is busy feeding and getting ready for a family reunion. Vera Gibson has been staying very busy. Her brother is planning to be married soon and is a bit nervous about all the arrangements. Needless to say, Tripp is going to look stunning in his first-ever ringbearer’s tuxedo! Lynn Greene went to the Mitchell Ranch for the Gate-to-Plate

event. She then dashed off to Cleveland, Ohio with Fita Witte for a food show. She reported that the ANCW booth was large and impressive. Right now Phyllis Hawley is thankful for the fact that she doesn’t have any trees on her place. She’s praying for the folks who are being devastated by the wildfires in the Gila and in Ruidoso. Jo Ann Hill is staying busy with her kids musical adventures. One is playing piano and singing and the other two are playing guitar. Denise Immerwahr has been moving her mom to Arizona. We are continuing in prayer for Weldon McKinley. Marilyn Mignery worked at the All Indian

Livestock Days booth. She said the seminars were very informative. She re-planted her petunias after a hail storm inundated the first bunch. Cindy Robison attended her niece’s wedding in Farmington. She enjoyed herself a great deal. She was also saddened though to lose a long-time friend. Toni said that Ruth and Mike Romero will be taking their grandsons on a cruise this summer.

3-PHASE POWER ANYWHERE!

APPLICATIONS

Phase-A-Matic, Inc. Phase Converters are used when three-phase lines are not available or are cost prohibitive. The phase converter will run virtually any 3phase machine at any single-phase location. Advances in converter technology have resulted in low price, high performance and reliability closely resembling three-phase line power. This enables us to provide the required power for CNC and other voltage-sensitive equipment.

Phase-A-Matic, Inc. Rotary Phase Converters run all common three-phase machine shop equipment, providing the power necessary to run all load types – including CNC/PLC, transmitters, lasers, welders, battery chargers, heating elements, etc. Whatever the load type – motor, resistive, induction, or transformer load – our Rotary Converter will power it. Phase-A-Matic, Inc. has been providing phase conversion for the home shop machinist, the industrial machinist, the farmer in agricultural use, for food processing equipment, the woodworking industry, the metalworking industry, medical equipment, elevators, etc. The Rotary Converter is designed to operate as modules with the ability to be connected in parallel to produce any required output, no matter how large. With fuel prices skyrocketing, diesel generators are now being replaced with Phase-A-Matic, Inc. Rotary Phase Converters. Bring your request to us and we will supply the right conversion for your application.

ROTARY CONVERTER RELIABILITY – MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) Failure rate (MTBF) is so low it’s almost impossible to determine. We find that within the first 12 months approximately 1 in 150 might have a problem, and usually within a few weeks or months. After the first 12 months, it might be one or less in 10,000 over a 35-year period. We continue to hear of our Rotary Converters that have been in service for 25 or 30 years or more, and which are still working flawlessly. It could go on to do another 25 or 30 years. The reason for the reliability is fairly obvious. Phase-A-Matic, Inc. Rotary Converters do not have start capacitors or contactors or mechanical connections of any kind as most other converters do, which contributes to and is usually the most common cause of failure. All connections are soldered, which is not feasible with other designs. Even though some other manufacturers claim to use Baldor motors, they still have start capacitors and switch gear, which we have eliminated by working with Baldor for approximately 2 years to develop the way these are engineered. It pays to buy Phase-A-Matic, Inc. for long life and high reliability. There is very little to go wrong with the Rotary Converter. 33

Hard To Define, Easy To Taste Pleasing consumers key to premium beef, audit says

by LAURA NELSON, CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF LLC. ating satisfaction rules when it comes to making beef lovers happy. That was clear in early results from the 2011 National Beef Quality Audit (NBQA), but defining that satisfaction seemed harder to pinpoint. “If producers get the right signal, and they are pretty good managers, they can

E

hit the target,” said Keith Belk, Colorado State University meat scientist. “But they have to have the right signal.” One constant beacon comes from the Q-word in that audit, which has run every five years since 1991: people at every link in the beef chain want quality. A call for more Prime and premium Choice beef rang out, with the target-consumer consensus suggesting 5 percent and 31 percent, respectively. Actual production levels for all beef in those categories during 2011 was 2 percent and 20 percent, 14 points short of expectations.

Science has proven marbling at those levels brings increased eating satisfaction, so it’s no surprise that the NBQA showed consumers want more of that beef. The audit format asks customers who buy feeder calves, fed cattle, beef carcasses, subprimals and variety meats to define seven quality attributes. Those included food safety, eating satisfaction, cattle genetics, visual characteristics, how and where cattle were raised, lean, fat, weight and size. Once ranked, the survey burrowed deeper into the meaning and value of each. On the production end, feeders, packers and allied industry ranked “tenderness” as the top definition for eating satisfaction, followed by “good beef flavor.” Respondents in the foodservice and retail industries had it just the other way around. “We need to continue striving toward improving eating satisfaction, and there will be an emphasis on flavor there,” Belk said. “Flavor has pulled to the top; once you have satisfactory tenderness, then flavor is all of a sudden elevated in its relative importance.” In foodservice, 63 percent of respondents favored flavor as their definition, while 52 percent said tenderness and 29 percent called it customer satisfaction. “This was the first year that we saw flavor mentioned more importantly than tenderness,” said Deb VanOverbeke, Oklahoma State University animal scientist. “Flavor really was emphasized by the end users, but it is still defined differently among those who are buying live cattle.” All NBQA respondents were purchasers of live animals or beef product, and VanOverbeke said that divide reflects their views on the resale value of each quality term. In this era of branded beef programs that reward higher quality and consumerbased targets, performance further down the chain has become more valuable. “They are looking at where to filter the product in once it is in their system,” she said, “trying to determine how to best spend and best capture each dollar.” The terms by which eating satisfaction was defined may have differed among the segments, but their pursuit of that dollar never wavered. A new aspect of the study brought to light beef buyers’ willingness to pay for the traits they found most important. While only 2 percent of those who purchase live cattle said that eating satisfaction was a requirement they must have in continued on page 37

Sierra Club Anti-Trapping Policy US SPORTSMENS ALLIANCE n a May 19th written statement from the Sierra Club’s Board of Directors, the group has officially gone on record as opposing nearly any and all forms of trapping — period. The official statement concealed on the group’s website notes that: “The Sierra Club considers body-gripping, restraining and killing traps and snares to be ecologically indiscriminate and unnecessarily inhumane and therefore opposes their use.� Sierra Club, thought by many sportsmen to be no friend to hunting — and now an official and publically recognized antitrapping group — says it supports “humane� methods of solving human and wildlife conflicts. No guidelines on their definition of “humane� were revealed. Oddly enough, the final sentence in the official statement notes that the Sierra Club recognizes the rights of indigenous people under federal law and treaties in the taking of wildlife. So is this, however, a nod in favor of trapping? Trapping is a widely accepted and vital method of reducing raccoons, beavers, muskrats and other species that prey on

I

nesting songbirds, gobble up young waterfowl, destroy countless dollars of timber and crops each year in America, and wreak havoc on everything from highways to lakes. “For a group that’s concerned about the environment, the Sierra Club’s call to end trapping could lead to one of the most damaging conservation disasters in Amer-

ican history,� said Bud Pidgeon, president and CEO of the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance. “Trapping is accepted by and a necessary tool of wildlife professionals from coast to coast. But, this policy from the Sierra Club comes as no surprise to the vast majority of sportsmen and women.� www.sierraclub.org/policy/conservation/TrappingWildlife.pdf

JBS to sue Greenpeace over deforestation report Greenpeace accuses JBS of violating agreement concerning cattle purchases from Amazon suppliers. / JBS denies all charges and says it will seek damages for lost sales / Brazilian senator says farmers and ranchers working to protect rainforest.

by ROD SMITH /FEEDSTUFFS.COM BS S.A. has reported that it plans to begin legal proceedings against Greenpeace after the activist environmental group issued a report accusing the company of engaging in the deforestation of the Amazon biome, or rainforest. JBS said the report could adversely affect its sales but didn’t indicate what damages it might seek. The company denied all of the accusations. Greenpeace, in a report issued on June 6, charged that JBS, the largest beef processor in Brazil and the largest meat packer in the world, has violated a 2009 agreement by buying cattle from regions of the Amazon where cattle producers are grazing herds on deforested land and/or using workers who are in debt-slavery conditions. Greenpeace said it drew its conclusions from its own field investigators and from reports by Ibama, Brazil’s environmental protection agency. However, JBS countered that a number of the ranchers cited by Greenpeace as damaging the Amazon biome were not blacklisted by Ibama at the time JBS purchased cattle from them and that other ranchers cited by Greenpeace are not blacklisted by Ibama or are not suppliers to JBS. The Greenpeace information “is false, incorrect, misleading and induces the public to draw erroneous conclusions,” JBS said. Because of this, JBS said it would use “all available legal channels to repair the damage (Greenpeace) caused to the company’s image through disclosure of incorrect information.” JBS and three additional Brazilian meat packers signed a Greenpeace-brokered agreement three years ago that they would not source cattle from deforested land or from land reserved for indigenous people (Feedstuffs, Aug. 24, 2009). Major retailers, including Carrefour S.A. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc., were also parties to the agreement. Similar agreements have been negotiated in recent years with major soybean buyers and traders, including Archer Daniels Midland Inc., Cargill Inc. and Louis Dreyfus Commodities, not to buy soybeans that are grown on deforested Amazon land. Brazilian Sen. Katia Abreu, a leading member of the agricultural caucus and president of the Brazilian National Agriculture & Livestock Federation, said the country’s farmers and ranchers are cooperating in efforts to decrease rainforest destruction. She noted that in the most recent year where data is available (August 2010-July 2011), deforestation not only continued to ■ slow but hit its lowest-ever annual level.

order to buy, nearly half of them said they’d pay a premium of 11.4 percent to guarantee that quality. That premium level ranked No. 1 in the amount packers and feeders said they would pay above base price to guarantee any quality attribute. VanOverbeke said readiness to pay that premium on the live-animal side may correlate to another term the NBQA worked to define: cattle genetics. Packers, feeders, retailers and foodservice professionals defined “cattle genetics� for quality as a predominantly black hide. Four out of five listed “genetic potential for marbling� as their second-ranked term. Those definitions likely pertained to feeders who are supplying branded beef programs, she explained: “If they know what those genetics are going to get them, they might pay a premium for those cattle because of how they typically perform.� More than 20 percent of respondents closest to end users said “eating satisfaction� was an absolute requirement for purchasing. That quality had the highest share (47 percent) of respondents willing to pay extra as well – about 11 percent more – to guarantee it. Belk said taking a whole-industry perspective from the survey illuminates a clear path the success: “If you align a supply chain that addresses a specific consumer target and has specific process control all the way up and down the chain to address that target, then the whole system is more profitable.� VanOverbeke agreed the bottom line comes down to tying all those surveyed industry segments together: “If you know who your customer is and you know what they are looking for, you are more likely to target some premiums that you might be able to earn by doing a few things differ■ently.�

OUR FUTURE IS SO BRIGHT, WE’R R E G O I N G T O N E E D SUN G LA SSE S!

T

he brightest spot in America’s economic future is right here in our corner of the world. Yes, we need a rain and yes our industry is in the process of adapting to a changing world. But the simple fact is: the world’s population is growing and becoming more affluent. The first things people do with their newly-made money is to eat better and dress well. Get ready for bigger and better days ahead for American animal agriculture. There’s a huge market out there for our products and America’s ranchers and farmers are positioned to expand and prosper in the years to come. Our best days are ahead!

Let’s, ea acch of us, do our part to take ba acck our country and our economy in November.

Thank You ! Roswell Wool would like to say Thank You to all our loyal customers. Everything we are, we owe to YOU!

My Cowboy Heroes by JIM OLSON

“LeeBobbi Anderson: Jeen Horseman of the Old School� OLSON iving historian, author and superb horseman, Lee Anderson, is a student – shall we say master – of Lee Anderson – Master the old Vaquero of the Bridle Horse “Bridle Horse� methods. He jokingly admits, “I am probably the only Swedish vaquero you’ll ever meet.� Born in Iowa, Lee has had a life-long affection for horses. He has ridden and trained in just about every genre of horsemanship, from Western to English and from the show ring to the pasture. He can drive two, four, six and even an eight-up team hitched to a wagon! He has trained and shown in reining, pleasure and trail and also worked with dressage, hackney, jumpers . . . and of course, the western cow-horse. His passion however, is the “Bridle Horse.� For those who aren’t quite sure what a “Bridle Horse� is – it refers to a horse

L

trained in the old Vaquero methods – methods not seen much in this country for 100-plus years. A layman will recognize a bridle horse as one which eventually ends up in the use of a spade bit. Many people are taken back by the spade and automatically assume it is a harsh bit based upon its appearance. Not true. In the wrong hands, any bit is harsh. Lee quotes, “All souls criticize that which they do not understand.� A horse trained in this method responds to a feather’s touch of the reins. In the hands of a true bridle horseman, a well-trained bridle horse is pure poetry in motion. For example, it has been recorded that the old Vaqueros were big sportsman and loved to show off at festive occasions. One such game played went something like this: A hair was plucked from the horse’s tail and the “breakaway� in the reins was replaced with said tail hair. This meant if you pulled any harder than necessary to break the hair, your reins broke. The horse was then blindfolded and put through a series of intricate moves, showing its pure trust in the rider. For the finale, horse and rider ran full-tilt, straight

at a solid wall. The team stopping closest to the wall, without hitting the wall or breaking the “breakaway hair� was the winner and the Vaquero considered a top horseman. (Before criticizing a contest such as this, keep in mind it was a different time, place and culture.) When asked why old methods such as these are fading, Lee responds, “In today’s day and age, not many are willing to spend half a lifetime learning the proper methods of horsemanship so they can spend four or five years training a horse this way.� Lee is passionate about it however and says, “It’s like driving a high performance sports car. Whatever you want is there . . . and at a touch. To a learned master such as Lee, he realizes every piece of the horseman’s and horse’s gear work intricately together to achieve an eventual result with the slightest of effort. He says, “The spade is a bit of signals. When properly used, a horse receives signals long before he ever feels the bit and responds before the bit is ever actually used.� Each piece of the tack and gear are a part of that signal system, not to mention the rider himself. Lee can pull the bridle off his horse and perform intricate maneuvers using nothing more than body language. Anderson uses a piece of string as a “breakaway� in his reins every day. Much like the old Vaqueros and their horsehair, if he uses more than just a slight tap of pressure on the reins, they break! After many years of being fascinated with horses, Lee chose to concentrate on this old style of horsemanship because he felt it most in tune with the horse. After a lifetime of studying what makes a horse tick, Anderson has even written a book on the subject. Developing the Art of Equine Communications is all about how to communicate with your horse, from a horse’s understanding and point of view. In Lee’s opinion, the bridle horse style of horsemanship comes closest to that. He studied horses and how they react to continued on page 141

certain situations for over half a century. He noticed that most times, communications with a horse are approached from a human point of view, yet a horse can only understand things from a horse’s viewpoint. Lee has made it his life’s work to understand more from the horse’s view. Lee has been known to spend hours sitting in a pasture full of horses just watching them. He studies their moves with each other in natural surroundings – how they interact together. Most people know, by nature, a horse is a “prey” animal, but few think of that when dealing with a horse. Man is, by nature, a predator and horses are easily scared of them. Lee is probably one of the best modern-day trainers who understands the philosophy of a horse, from the horse’s perspective. He felt compelled to write Developing the Art of Equine Communications to clear up some of the myths and misinformation out there. As a historian, Lee does a presentation called “Four Hundred Years of Southwest Cowboys.” He does this in any one of three different outfits: A 1750 Spanish Colonial Caballero, an 1850 Mexican Vaquero or an 1890 American Cowboy. For each look, he has all of the period correct clothing and gear for rider and horse. The outfit may change depending upon what the situation calls for, but the historical presentation is tailored to fit what the client asks for. Lee goes over the evolution of the cowboy from its origins, beginning with the Spanish Hacendado (rancher) of the mid-1500s up through today. The first brand laws were recorded in New Spain (now Mexico) in 1529 and Lee is well versed in the history of the Vaquero – Cowboy from then through today. Lee says, “We must include the Spanish

origins in the history of the cowboy because the Vaquero was rounding up, roping, and branding cattle more than 300 years before the first American cowboy ever threw a leg over a horse. By 1800 a highly sophisticated Vaquero culture had reached its peak in what is now the state of California. To this day, no mounted herdsman on earth has ever achieved the elegance, the presence, the beautiful equipment, the exquisite horsemanship or the sheer artistry of the everyday working Californio.” He has spent much time and research in getting his outfits correct for each time period as well. Everything Lee puts on he and his horse is either an authentic antique piece or a reproduction from the period, made by Lee himself. He says, “The Vaquero was a flashy dresser. He was extremely proud of his status amongst his peers. Then, due to the influence of the emerging American Cowboy culture the Mexican Vaquero lost quite a bit of the elegance and finesse of the Spanish Colonial Vaquero but he never fully accepted all of the trappings and methods of the American cowboy culture . . . these things are covered at length in a presentation. The heyday of the American Cowboy only covered about 20 years . . . The modern image of the cowboy is loosely based on the drovers that made the three month long (cattle) drives. The cowboy most people are familiar with today is purely a Hollywood creation. However, my preference just happens to be the real cowboys and I am well aware of the difference between

‘reel cowboys’ and ‘real cowboys.’” Besides having a life-long passion for understanding what makes a horse tick, and the history of the cowboy, Anderson is a study of human nature as well. He is extremely good-natured and has a wry sense of humor. Lee claims, “I intend to live to be 125 and not die from natural causes, but at the hands of a thirty-yearold, jealous spouse!” You gotta love a man past seventy with an attitude like that! ■

Industry Groups Intervene in Trapping Lawsuit o protect the businesses and livelihoods of their memberships, groups representing hunters, fisherman, agriculture, trappers, and rural communities and economies have intervened in a lawsuit filed by the WildEarth Guardians against the New Mexico Department of Game & Fish. The New Mexico Trappers’ Association, New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association, New Mexico Wool Growers, Inc., New Mexico Federal Lands Council, New Mexico Council of Outfitters & Guides, New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau, Coalition of Arizona/New Mexico Counties for Stable Economic Growth and United Sportsmen for Fish & Wildlife, Inc., joined the lawsuit which would prohibit trapping in the southwestern New Mexico, in the Mexican Grey Wolf Recovery Area. The New Mexico Houndsmen as well as the Northern and the Southern New Mexico Chapters of the Safari Club assisted with funding. The Safari Club International also filed an Ami-

T

cus Brief in support of the state. “The big difference between our memberships and the WildEarth Guardians is that our members have everything to lose in this situation, and environmentalists have nothing at stake. If residents of southwestern New Mexico lose the ability to trap, they lose their ability to make a living ranching, hunting, trapping or outfitting – not to mention generations of tradition,� said New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association President Rex Wilson, Carrizozo. “No environmentalists’ family businesses or lifelong investments are at risk in this situation.� The WildEarth Guardians’ lawsuit claims that by allowing trapping of viable furbearer populations in the wolf recovery area, the NMDGF is allowing harm to the non-essential, experimental Mexican Grey Wolf, despite the fact that trapping the species is not allowed, Wilson explained. The federal reintroduction program for the Mexican Grey Wolf began in 1994. “To date, millions of our tax dollars have been spent to reintroduce this predator, which is still struggling in the wild almost 20 years later,� said David Reese, United Sportsmen for Fish & Wildlife President, Belen. “The WildEarth Guardians

are trying to use trapping as an excuse for the failure of the reintroduction program, which has been a monumental waste of time and resources since the beginning.� Rural southwestern New Mexico’s economy is based on ranching, hunting, guiding and outfitting, all of which would be threatened if the lawsuit was successful. “Ranchers must have the ability to protect their livestock to stay in business,� said Bebo Lee, New Mexico Federal Lands Council President, Alamogordo. “Dealing with wolves on their operations has been hard enough on these ranchers – it’s too much to ask that they sacrifice even more of their herds to other predators.� Hunting and trapping have a long history in New Mexico, as a family tradition, as a tool for wildlife management and in many cases, a successful livelihood. Despite the impacts of the wolf reintroduction program to the deer and elk herds in the Gila National Forest, guiding and outfitting is a big business, with a big impact on rural counties. “The survival of our members’ businesses, and their ability to feed their families, depend on healthy wildlife populations, and that means balanced continued on page 147

management which includes predator control,� said Marc Kincaid, New Mexico Wool Growers, Inc. President, Hope. “Aside from the potential financial impacts to our members and the small-town businesses they help support, it’s just irresponsible to put wildlife management in the hands of environmentalists and animal rights groups in Santa Fe whose only concerns are filing lawsuits and limiting land use.� “This lawsuit has the potential to alter science based game management everywhere. The suit is designed to take game management out of the hands of states and move it to the courts. WildEarth now chastises the New Mexico Game Department for using sportsmen’s dollars, not tax dol-

lars, to defend New Mexicans and New Mexico’s wildlife against a frivolous lawsuit. In court documents they seek to deny participation of an international conservation group, the Safari Club International in the litigation process. It seems to be alright for the ‘guardians’ to squander millions of sportsmen’s and taxpayer dollars to advance their spiritual beliefs through court actions but, the very people that have paid the bills for wildlife recovery and management over the last century, can’t play in their ‘sand box’; how ludicrous is that?� asked Tom McDowell President NMTA, Corrales. “Western states are dealing with the devastating impacts of forests being managed by the courts and anti-consumptive use groups. New Mexico and Arizona saw the largest fires in history in 2011 and we just set two more records in

the past few weeks. If WildEarth were to prevail with its current action, New Mexicans can say goodbye to their wildlife, ■too.�

When Pigs Fly For Real . . .

by Caren Cowan, Exec. Director, New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Assn.

ne of former Governor Gary Johnson’s (now Libertarian presidential candidate) favorite sayings when faced with pressure to be less than fiscal was “when pigs fly.” If he happens to get elected he is going to have to come up with a new one. Pot-bellied pigs must be granted passage on airplanes if they are used for “emotional support” by their owners, states the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) draft manual on equity for the disabled in air travel, according to a web report by cnsnews.com. The DOT published its “Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Air Travel: Draft Technical Assistance Manual” in the Federal Register on July 5, providing guidance that allows swine on airplanes if they are determined to be service animals. The

O

manual is designed to “help carriers and indirect carriers and their employees/contractors that provide services or facilities to passengers with disabilities, assist those passengers in accordance with” the Air Carrier Access Act. The manual is open for public comments until October 3. Under the “Service Animal” section, the department lays out a scenario for airline carriers entitled “Example 1.” The manual states: “A passenger arrives at the gate accompanied by a pot-bellied pig. She claims that the pot-bellied pig is her service animal. What should you do?” “Generally, you must permit a passenger with a disability to be accompanied by a service animal,” reads the manual. “However, if you have a reasonable basis for questioning whether the animal is a service animal, you may ask for some veri-

fication.” The manual instructs airline carriers and their employees to begin by asking questions about the animal, such as, “What tasks or functions does your animal perform for you?” or “What has its training been?” “If you are not satisfied with the credibility of the answers to these questions or if the service animal is an emotional support or psychiatric service animal, you may request further verification,” the guidebook states. “You should also call a CRO [Complaints Resolution Official] if there is any further doubt as to whether the pot-bellied pig is the passenger’s service animal.” If the answers are satisfactory, pot-belcontinued on page 151

lied pigs, which can weigh as much as 300 pounds, must be accepted aboard the plane. “Finally, if you determine that the potbellied pig is a service animal, you must permit the service animal to accompany the passenger to her seat provided the animal does not obstruct the aisle or present any safety issues and the animal is behaving appropriately in a public setting,” the manual states. In its definition of service animal, the DOT includes creatures that provide “emotional support.” The manual defines a service animal as an “animal individually trained to perform functions to assist a person with a disability; Animal that has been shown to have the innate ability to assist a person with a disability…or Emotional support or psychiatric service animal.” “Be aware,” it says, “that people who have disabilities that are not apparent may travel with emotional support, psychiatric service, or other service animals.” Though pot-bellied pigs are permissible, the DOT forbids some animals from aircraft. “As a U.S. carrier, you are not

YAVAPAI BOTTLE GAS

required to carry certain unusual service animals in the aircraft cabin such as ferrets, rodents, spiders, snakes and other reptiles,” it states. However, miniature horses and monkeys, which the manual describes as “commonly used service animals,” are also permitted.

“Pot-bellied pigs must be granted passage on airplanes if they are used for “emotional support” by their owners ...” On a case-by-case basis, the DOT says, animals can be turned away if they are “too large or heavy to be accommodated in the aircraft cabin; would pose a direct threat to the health and safety of others; would cause a significant disruption in cabin service; or would be prohibited from entering a foreign country at the aircraft’s destination.”

The cover of the May issue of the Stockman depicted what was to come with this year’s fire season. We were wrong. What has come was much worse than could have been imagined. All you have had to do is turn on the television or radio for the last two months to hear about the catastrophic wildfires that are devastating the land that we love and that our livestock and wildlife depend upon, and for well over 500 westerners, their homes. There have been several human lives lost in these fires as well. The nation owes a debt of gratitude to the brave men and women who have risked their lives to fight these fires – almost with one hand tied behind their backs. It was all too easy to see the pain of those poor incident commanders who had to stand before the media being peppered with questions as to when the fire was going to be stopped. They were exhausted, frustrated and perhaps even fearful because those were questions that no one could answer. Two of the worst fires here in New Mexico so far started on Wilderness, so federal agencies, under their current “no manage-

ment” policies; just let them burn… until it was too late to do anything to stop them. It is no stretch of the imagination that hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent in the last two and a half months on fire suppression. It will cost five or ten times that to rehabilitate the destruction of the lands burned. Then the rains come and wash everything away, destroying the lifelines of water that keep us all alive. This lunacy has got to stop. It hasn’t been a matter of “if” these fires will start, it is WHEN. In his message, Rex talked about the tremendous turn out of elected officials and candidates that came to the Mid Year Meeting at the Inn of the Mountain Gods. We need the people we elect this November who will insure that the bureaucracy understands that while fire might be a “tool” to manage land, calling it a tool infers that someone is in control of the tool. Letting a fire burn, no matter where it is, in the hot, dry, windy days of early summer is not using a tool. We must use every opportunity to educate anyone who will listen that without

real management that includes road building, timber harvest and grazing, the “playgrounds” some envision of the West will be nothing more than charcoal and dust. Many species won’t be endangered. They will be extinct. There are those that say that some of the fire is good because it is burning out overgrown vegetation that has long needed removal to have a healthy forest, and they are right. But instead of just doing that good, these fires are burning at temperatures “…so hot in some areas that it incinerated almost all of the trees on the landscape, replacing what was once ponderosa pine habitat with a barren, blackened moonscape, said Craig Allen, a research ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey (quote from Aspen Times, June 26, 2012). In a June 5, 2012, Albuquerque Journal story, forest fire/climate expert Tony Westerling of the University of California made the oxymoronic statement “… that a century of human forest management has played a role in the recent fires with grazing and fire suppression leading to woods choked with increasingly vulnerable fuel.” Allen echoed the sentiment in the Aspen Times story. Is it only me that finds “overgrazing”

and “choked woods” to be diametrically opposed? I know, they mean that grazing has removed grass leading to more forbs – they are still wrong. Frank Lowenstein, climate adaptation strategy leader for The Nature Conservancy, was right when he endorsed the idea of creating lower-density forests, where trees don’t have to compete as much for water and light. With lower-density forests, “you won’t see everything incinerated” by fires, he said. (Aspen Times) You will also see grass and a better environment for wildlife and livestock alike. What most “environmentalists” are desperately trying to do is blame climate change (global warming) for these terrible fires and blame grazing for climate change. If I were responsible for the havoc litigation and less than informed policy decisions, I would be looking for someone to blame, too. The company you keep…

trying to make sure we didn’t hang out with people who would get us into trouble. The social networking site Facebook brings a whole new meaning to that statement. In attempt to work on that education I mentioned, the New Mexico Cattle Growers’ staff has worked diligently over the last many months to develop more than 5,000 “friends” on Facebook. When you max out at 5,000, anyone who wants to be your “friend” must become a “subscriber” where they can see what you post, but cannot communicate – at least that’s what I think it means. NMCGA has over 1,060 subscribers creating a reach of over 6,000 people, most of whom have the ability to share information with all their other “friends.” Facebook also lets you see who your “friends” have for “friends” and will usually show you several when a post is made. NMCGA has used Facebook to keep attention on the fire situation in the West, and if you visit the page you will see many, many images of the fires that we have shared from someone else or posted ourselves. NMCGA has added comments to the photos, added information on federal legislation regarding forest management and fire, and put up anything else that seemed to add to the story. Lively debates can occur on the site and there is often good information exchanged. I cannot say that I know each of NMCGA’s friends or subscribers but I have made some real friends via Facebook and we ARE getting our message out. Another feature of the site is the ability to “unfriend” people. That needs to be used judiciously and most people have been offed as friends due to the foul language or photographs they have posted that are simply inappropriate, at least the way I was raised. The temptation to unfriend those who disagree with me is also great. That feeling when, after we posted material on the federal catastrophic fire legislation, merely asking our friends to encourage their congressional representative to sponsor the bill, one “friend” took issue. He not only stated that NMCGA was supporting the legislation only so that its members could overgraze, but that the Association is “a majority of ignorant, greedy, racists bigots!” And, oh by the way, we are all Republicans, too. I didn’t need to get too upset because in only a few minutes several folks took him

on. The other part that became interesting is to see who this guy’s (he is no gentleman) other friends are. They are in high places. Might not hurt to check and see who your Facebook friends are. That would have been a different life

Not a statement I made, but one of a college roommate and life-long friend as we reminisced following the celebration of life of my college beau who left us way too soon. Reed White was a barrel of laughs and the life of every party. He had a passion for living and never missed an opportunity to have a good time or to lend a helping hand to someone in need. It really didn’t matter if you needed the shirt off his back, for him to drive you to a rodeo hundreds of miles away or for him to sit by your, or even your brother’s, hospital bed during healing. He was just as liberal in using friends’ couches and eating all the ice cream in your freezer. I was horrified to learn one morning on a visit home, when Reed slept on the couch, that Uncle Bill and Aunt Cordy had had quite a discussion as they came into Grandmother’s house late the night before

on whether or not this was “a new one or the last one.” Reed was never Grandmother’s favorite… he didn’t tuck his shirt in to come to the kitchen table or feel the need to put shoes on for meals. That was when I decided that I could bring Jesus home and he wouldn’t have suited because he had long hair and wore sandals. Reed did meet my first criteria for a mate in that he was an extraordinary dancer AND loved to dance. He never met a kid or a dog that he didn’t like. One dog was never enough, there needed to be two. Alas, being the designated driver for the life of the party worn thin and it became clear that Reed was not marriage material (I am not claiming that this is one of my attributes either) and it was time to move on. But after some awkward encounter as other people came into our lives, Reed and I stayed good friends. He was always the guy who could tell you where everyone we ever knew together was – and probably had seen them recently. We didn’t see each other often, but I always knew he was there if I needed him. I miss him, as does anyone whose life ■ he ever touched.

History holds sustainability lesson by NEVIL C. SPEER, PHD, MBA / FEEDSTUFFS FOODLINK turned to my family and said, “That’s precisely the point!” By chance I had stumbled across the perfect contrast for our time. But I’m getting ahead of myself – let me back up a few days. It all began with an email I received as part of a list-serve subscription. The message originated from a university professor looking for feedback regarding efforts to develop a new program of study for students interested in agriculture – all part of a larger initiative around the concept of sustainability. The overarching objective of the new program is an endeavor to “. . . promote agriculture at a human-scale, that is, agriculture that provides meaningful work for people, is localized enough for those involved to understand and witness the feedback loops and that is resilient (in face of looming uncertainty ecologically and economically).” Specifically, the project would require new curriculum. And so the email was requesting input regarding what types of courses and/or material should be included to support such a mission. However, from my perspective, that’s the wrong place to begin. It’s always interesting to me how the concept of sustainability can be invoked without any real tough questions as to the premise or context in which it’s being used. The term has gotten overworked and inherently evokes the concept of political correctness. So whatever agenda you might have, now you can just hitch your wagon to the term “sustainability” and it’s fairly easy to find some traction. What about the premise? That’s especially important when “sustainability” gets leveraged as an indictment against agriculture. Case-in-point, the professor’s email also included a question about what to call the new degree. The initial proposal was “Agricultural Arts” with the explanation that such a title would “. . . emphasize the artistic, humane and small-scale practice of agriculture.” That premise is full of preconceived notions about agriculture. It’s pretty clear such a degree program would emphasize ideology versus exploration, critical thinking and problem solving. That type of ideology is reflective of a presumptuous and

narrow view of both agriculture and sustainability. (That’s especially troubling when it’s espoused by individuals at institutions of higher education.) Plus, it overlooks the complexities involved in studying the issues and advancing solutions. That very point was noted from the International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability: “Vital work needs to be done to establish more precisely what ‘sustainable food’ represents, and to identify best practice standards across a wide range of activities throughout the [food supply chain].” In other words, as I’ve written previously, sustainability invokes more questions than answers. With all that in mind, let’s circle back around to my initial story. Several days after the email, while on vacation, my family and I visited the New Mexico History Museum. On the bottom floor, on the wall directly across from the landing of the stairs there was the following quotation: “The first winter of 1933 was definitely the hardest one . . . Our diet was red beans and corn bread for lunch and supper and watery gravy and biscuits for breakfast.” Think about it – not even 80 years ago, U.S. citizens were facing regular challenges in terms of obtaining balanced diets – not to mention struggling with culinary monotony. We’ve come a long ways in such a short period of time. The contrast between then and now is striking. We’re blessed by incredible abundance and variety. Without that particular luxury, I doubt we’d spend much time worrying about, or devote much effort to, the “artistic practice of agriculture.” That said, perhaps we should spend more time remembering about whence we came – after all, those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Dr. Nevil C. Speer is with Western Kentucky University and serves on the board of the National Institute for Animal Agriculture, a national organization devoted to engaging livestock producers and livestock health professionals in developing solutions for issues in the livestock industry.

he Environmental Protection Agency official who recently resigned for saying the government should “crucify� bad actors in the energy industry will now be working for the Sierra Club to help its campaign against coal. The organization announced that it was hiring Al Armendariz, who resigned on April 30 as EPA regional administrator for Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and New Mexico after an uproar over his comment that EPA’s “general philosophy� with its enforcement policy should be to “crucify� oil and natural-gas companies. “This is an exciting day for clean energy and public health supporters in Texas,� said Bruce Nilles, senior campaign director for the Sierra Club’s “Beyond Coal� campaign, in a statement on recently. “Al has worked closely with the Sierra Club for many years, as an environmental scientist and professor. He understands the critical importance of developing clean energy to create jobs, protect people and protect air and water.� The hire will likely inflame an already heated debate among congressional Republicans, the Obama administration, and influential environmental groups like the Sierra Club. House Energy and Commerce Committee Republicans have recently lashed out at the Sierra Club — the country’s largest environmental group — for its intensified campaign seeking to wean the country off not only coal and oil, but natural gas, too. National Journal reported earlier this month that on the same day Armendariz initially agreed to testify in front of a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee regarding his comments, he was at the Sierra Club’s Washington offices later that day. Armendariz abruptly canceled his plans to testify less than 24 hours before the hearing and did not provide the committee with a reason why, but he was still in town to meet with the environmental group. Senate Environment and Public Works ranking member James Inhofe, R-Okla., whose staff uncovered the 2010 video where Armendariz made the “crucify� comments, speculated at that time that Armendariz’s visit to the Sierra Club was for a job interview.

“Rather than testifying in the House and being accountable for carrying out the Obama-EPA’s ‘crucify them’ agenda, it appears Mr. Armendariz may have had a job interview with the Sierra Club,” Inhofe said at the time. “With such an impressive job-killing resume, it would be no surprise if the Sierra Club is recruiting him for their ‘Beyond Gas’ campaign designed to ‘prevent any new gas plants from being built’ and to end natural gas production in this country.” It appears as though Inhofe was right. Armendariz’s lawyer, Danny Onorato, did not respond to requests for comment at the time about why Armendariz was at the Sierra Club. Armendariz will be helping the Sierra Club with its “Beyond Coal” campaign, which was launched in 2002 in reaction to trends in the power market to build more than 150 new coal-fired power plants. The campaign’s goal has been retirement of one-third of the nation’s more 500-plus coal plants by 2020. National Journal reported in May that the Sierra Club was doubling down on its efforts to combat new natural-gas production with a “Beyond Gas” campaign modeled after the ■ “Beyond Coal” campaign.

Deadline Passes for Appealing Ninth Circuit Wolf Ruling, Litigation Ends he Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in March affirmed the constitutionality of Congress’ removal of wolves from the federal endangered species list. The deadline to appeal that decision passed quietly this week with no action from plaintiff animal rights and anti-hunting groups. Attorneys representing the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation say the noaction means the case will not advance to the U.S. Supreme Court, and that the litigation has ended in favor of science-based, state-regulated management and control of wolves. “A lawsuit that began in 2011 in Judge Donald Molloy’s courtroom in Missoula, Mont., following the Congressional delisting, is finally over — and conservation has prevailed,” said David Allen, RMEF president and CEO. “No appeals paperwork had been filed by end of the day on June 12, so the Ninth Circuit’s decision is absolutely final.”

Minimize stresses of weaning lambs by preparing for the transition in advance eaning lambs to dry feed can be a stressful transition for young lambs. Supplying adequate levels of lamb-specific milk replacer and mapping a weaning strategy prior to the switch can help to ensure that the changeover goes smoothly for young lambs while ewes transition to the parlor. Begin planning for weaning well in advance of when milk replacer is removed from the lamb’s diet by granting grain access to young sheep. Dairy sheep producers can add forages and grains by three weeks of age when the natural conversion to solid feeds begins.[1] At that time, the developing rumen can start to break down small amounts of grains, so starter feed mix should be offered. Starter feeds are typically protein-based palatable grain mixtures that are offered free choice to young livestock while they are still on milk. If the lambs remain with the ewes for part of the day, the starter feed should be fed in a specific feeder with openings too small for adult sheep but large enough to fit growing lambs. Lambs that are separated from adult ewes to be fed milk replacer can receive the grain in feeders or troughs. Dave Thomas, Ph.D., of the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Wisconsin, says that, since the young lambs are not fully functioning ruminants, the dry diets need to be low in fiber, high in energy and protein and processed into a pellet or meal. Mike Neary, extension sheep specialist at Purdue University, says that a starter feed should contain at least 14 percent crude protein (with 18-25 percent crude protein levels being ideal) that includes high energy content, balanced minerals and elevated palatability.[2] A viable starter feed option listed by Purdue University includes: 80 percent grain sorghum, 10 percent oats and 10 percent oilseed meal with alfalfa hay available at all times. Still, it is important to remember that rations should be formulated based on individual needs of a lamb crop and available feedstuffs. For instance, Thomas recommends a 22 percent crude protein diet that is high in corn grains and also includes: soybean meal, liquid molasses, feed grade limestone, ammonium chloride and a salt vitamin mineral mix formulated

for sheep.[3] Whatever ration is selected, dairy sheep producers are encouraged to monitor Vitamin E levels in the diet to promote efficient growth. Further, urea should not be used as a protein source in pre- and early postweaning diets of young lambs as the ingredient cannot be broken down in the developing rumen. Urea can typically be added to the ration when the lamb reaches 65 pounds.[4] By monitoring consumed starter feed levels, producers can determine a weaning timeline. The transition should occur based upon individual lamb growth and consumption rates rather than group age. Neary adds that lambs are typically able to break down solid feeds in their rumens once they consume starter feed levels that equal 1 percent of their body weights. For example, if a lamb weighs 20 pounds, he or she should consume at least 0.2 pounds of starter feed before being weaned. Along with starter feed, lambs should have access to free choice water. “Prior to weaning, the majority of liquid in a lamb’s diet comes from lamb-specific milk replacers,� says Dr. Tom Earleywine, director of nutritional services for Land O’Lakes Animal Milk Products. “Supplying clean, fresh water to the lambs in addition to Ultra FreshŽ Lamb Milk Replacer will help young lambs become accustomed to water before the milk replacer is removed from the diet and can help prevent dehydration during this transition period.� Earleywine adds that ration and pen changes should be avoided two weeks prior and two weeks after weaning as consistency and cleanliness can prevent added stress. For the same reason, potentially taxing procedures, including vaccination, castration, worming and tagging, should be completed at least two weeks prior to the weaning day. Through both periods, it’s encouraged to keep groups of lambs together. Lamb groups should not be broken as hierarchy and group bonds have already been formed. By keeping stress levels low and supplying starter feeds and adequate levels of lamb-specific milk replacer, artificiallyreared lambs can be weaned from milk replacer as early as 30 days of age. At this point, lambs should have consumed approximately 20 pounds of milk replacer powder and weigh at least 25 pounds. “It all comes back to management,�

Kroger urges suppliers to accelerate transition from gestation stalls by RITA JANE GABBETT / WWW.MEATINGPLACE.COM upermarket chain giant Kroger Co. has urged its pork suppliers to speed up their transition away from using gestation stalls, but also reminded its customers that the transition may take many years. “Over the past few months, the company has reviewed the opinions of animal welfare experts and other experts regarding the use of gestation crates for pregnant sows and has concluded that there are many ways to humanely house sows,” the company said in a news release. “Kroger believes that a gestation crate-free environment is more humane and that the pork industry should work toward gestation crate-free housing for pregnant sows. The company is encouraging its suppliers to accelerate this already-occurring transition in the Kroger supply-chain. Kroger also wants customers to know that this is a transition that may take many years.” Kroger’s statement follows those by several foodservice and retail companies in recent months urging a transition away from gestation stalls including McDonald’s, Burger King, Denny’s, Safeway, Tim Horton’s and Wendy’s.

that gestations stalls are an acceptable animal husbandry practice. “We fully support continuing to explore new and better ways to protect pregnant sows,” said NPB president Everett Forkner in a statement last week. “Farmers are

adopting improvements all the time as they study their farms and their animals. Going backward, though, will just put a huge financial burden on smaller pig farmers while doing nothing to improve the health and well-being of our pigs.” ■

HSUS cheers

“Kroger’s has taken a very important step for animal welfare in declaring that the pork industry must find an exit strategy for its use of gestation crates,” said Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States. HSUS has been actively leaning on food service and retail companies that purchase pork to urge their suppliers to change their sow housing infrastructure. Pork industry concerned

While Kroger did not put a specific timeline on its request and acknowledged the transition could take many years, McDonald’s set a 10-year timeline for sourcing all of its pork from farms that do not use individual stalls to house pregnant pigs. This evoked reactions from the National Pork Producers Council and the National Pork Board over the feasibility and economic viability of changing sow housing infrastructure over a specific time period. The groups also repeated their conviction based on peer-reviewed research

Europe’s green energy suicide s austerity bites into European living standards, sparking revolt at the polls, “growth” has become the politician’s mantra. But to be competitive, European countries require a secure, plentiful and competitively priced energy supply. Unless Europe radically rethinks its obsession with carbon dioxide emissions and the anti-fossil fuel energy policies that flow from it, growth is likely to remain elusive. Lawmakers across the continent would do well to take to heart the conclusion of the European Commission Energy Department’s Energy Roadmap for 2050, which stated frankly that “there is a tradeoff between climate change policies and competitiveness.” ■ European Union law mandates that the 27 member countries on average cut their carbon dioxide emissions 20% by 2020, compared to 1990 levels. ■ The goal after that is to cut emissions by between 80% and 95% by 2050. ■ In May 2010, a study by the European Commission’s energy department estimated the 20% cut would cost 48 billion euros ($66.3 billion) a year. Individual nations’ energy policies are pushing for further cuts in emissions, wreaking havoc on the economies that once dominated the continent. ■ In the U.K., a generous system of subsidies for renewable energy was found to have cost 10,000 jobs between 2009 and 2010 alone, and is estimated to raise the energy cost of vital industries (steel making, ceramics, paper, etc.) by 141% by 2020. ■ Spain’s experience with subsidizing renewables has been painful, with a 2009 study at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos finding that the subsidies had led to a loss of 110,500 jobs. ■ Italy’s subsidy system, which sets the price floor for wind energy at three times the market level, was found to sacrifice 6.9 industry jobs for every green job it created, according to a study at Italy’s Instituto Bruno Leoni. ■ Germany’s Renewable Energy Feedin Act of 2000 requires electric utilities to buy renewables from all producers at fixed, exorbitant rates and feed it into the power grid for 20 years, raising rates and undermining industrial competitiveness. ■ Even France, which has remained relatively immune to energy problems because of its enormous nuclear energy capacity, is beginning to move away from that clean energy source.

BLM Solicits Proposals for Private Land Wild Horse Ecosanctuaries s part of an ongoing effort to improve its Wild Horse and Burro Program, the Bureau of Land Management announced on July 29 that it is soliciting proposals for private land ecosanctuaries for wild horses. The ecosanctuaries, to be publicly accessible with a potential for ecotourism, would help the BLM feed and care for excess wild horses that have been removed from Western public rangelands. Each proposed ecosanctuary must be able to support at least 100 wild horses. The official notice of solicitation can be found at www.grants.gov. To submit an application, an applicant must register on www.grants.gov and must first obtain a Data Universal Number System (DUNS) number. This can be obtained by going to http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform/index.jsp. After receiving a DUNS number, the applicant may proceed to the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) page and register. The CCR registration Website is located at www.bpn.gov/ccr/default.aspx. Completing this registration process can take up to two weeks, so applicants should work on their proposals while they are waiting for their registration confirmation. The BLM is preparing to publish a proposed wild horse and burro management strategy that emphasizes population control techniques; promotes public-private ecosanctuaries to hold excess wild horses and encourage ecotourism; seeks to boost adoptions by making more trained wild horses available to the public; and establishes a comprehensive animal welfare program that is built on sound science and research. The BLM developed the proposed strategy after actively soliciting input from both the public and the agency’s Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board on how to best ensure the health of America’s wild horses and burros, both on and off the ■range.

Results Provide Opportunity for the Supply Chain to Support Retailers with Information

esults of a recent survey of grocery and restaurant executives signals an opportunity for the supply chain to provide retailers better support and alignment to address challenging issues in animal agriculture. Conducted by the Center for Food Integrity (CFI), the survey asked questions of QSR and procurement managers from 10 leading food industry retailers, including Walmart, McDonalds, Burger King, Marsh Supermarkets, Bob Evans, Giant Eagle, Wakefern Food Corp., Sodexo, Inc., Brinker International and Harris Teeter. Using quantitative and qualitative methods, conducted both by phone and online, the survey was intended to provide feedback and stimulate discussion in an effort to improve supply chain alignment on critical issues facing animal agriculture. Specifically regarding meat, milk and eggs, each respondent was asked for their thoughts regarding practices “on farm� and “during processing� that result in safe food; humane treatment of animals; sustainable protection of natural resources and; the nutrition of products. Further, the survey asked about their thoughts on the safety of food derived from animals treated with antibiotics; animals treated with hormones and; foods using biotechnology in their production. Responses to each of those questions showed significant need for additional, factbased information about these issues, created to support retailers and restaurateurs. “I see it in our stores. People are examining labels. I find myself doing it, too. Consumers want to know what’s in their food,� said one survey respondent, noting that animal agriculture can provide that support. “We need to help them with positive information on why they can trust what they’re buying from us.� “This research illustrates a significant opportunity for those in animal agriculture to provide greater coordination and communication to help improve supply chain alignment and serve as a resource for retailers on challenging issues,� says Charlie Arnot, CEO of the Center for Food Integrity. “Retailers can then serve as a direct point-of-contact, providing consumers the information they need to make ■informed choices.�

Perceptions, Science and Business he ancient Greeks used to debate what people know and HOW they know it. Deeply held convictions have wrestled with science-based knowledge ever since. And eventually, economics entered in, usually linked to science, if only the qualitative data on what people do with their perceptions. You may know something because it is stated by a source you consider reliable, even infallible. You could know it because you’re confident of your interpretation of the data about it. Or you might feel the truth of something “in your soul,� as if your own perceptions are infallible; then you look for bits of science to support your beliefs. That range is found everywhere from the ranch to the food consumer. Fans of certain “food philosophy� writers elevate authors to authorities because persuasive prose rings true for them. With enough disposable income, they may even pay more for food that fits their gastronomical belief system. Consumers write the checks that pay our way in the beef industry, but you have to wonder how they know how beef cattle should be raised. Perceptions can be spot-on, but they can also be arbitrary and out of touch. Consumers several generations removed from the farm may think the scale required to make a living in agriculture is just wrong. Hundreds of cattle in a herd rather than six or eight? Trying to make a profit? That can’t be good. Some beef producers choose to cater to the various niche markets these ideas spawn, as an example of business meeting perception-based opportunity. There’s often less risk in catering to science-based opportunities. Stories about the beef and producers are increasingly important in marketing. But just telling banquet guests a story about the beef won’t improve its flavor unless that beef

T

was selected based on meat science to please consumers. Many consumers “know” all fat is bad, even though science has discovered there is good fat (beef marbling) and bad fat (generally external and trimmed off the beef). On the producer side, some focus on genetics that deliver the good fat, but others see it as a fad or the cattle feeder’s concern. Because of one brand’s success, some consumers form a positive impression of all beef linked to a breed. Yet science says that ability to please consumers has more to do with the specifications than the breed, or rather that breed can provide all the attributes and tools required to hit those specs. Science may trump perception, but business must consider both, along with practicality in labor costs. Investing too much in a fad can be a mistake if perceptions shift, but always going with science can take you down a different road to ruin. Your well-informed perceptions must guide your decisions. If science can add 30 pounds of beef at the expense of consumer satisfaction, it is worth it? The industry may never know what it lost. Is it worth it to follow the recipe for crossbreeding to capture the scientifically proven (infallible?) 4 percent advantage in commodity beef production? Or can you make up for it with the simplicity, greater predictability and genetic focus found in one breed? Ultimately, in the long run, the con■ sumer will decide.

USDA Poultry Plan Violates Federal Law, Union Contend Plan to largely outsource inspections will endanger public, AFGE writes in official comments

he U.S. Agriculture Department’s proposal to largely outsource poultry inspections functions and drastically speed up the visual inspection process violates federal law and must not be allowed to proceed, the nation’s largest federal employee union said in official comments on the proposal. The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents thousands of federal meat and poultry inspectors, submitted comments to USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service on May 25. More than 2,000 comments were submitted before the comment period ended May 29. The USDA’s budget-cutting proposal would allow poultry companies to inspect their own chickens and turkeys, leaving a single federal inspector responsible for examining up to 175 birds per second as

T

they speed down the line. “It exceeds the bounds of logic and common sense to reasonably contend that one person can carefully examine more than 80,000 chickens per workday when the carcasses are whizzing past the inspector at a rate of 3 chickens per second,� AFGE Assistant General Counsel Matthew Milledge wrote in the union’s official comments. Contrary to the agency’s assertion that these changes would improve food safety, Milledge wrote that the proposal “will ensure that increased numbers of adulterated poultry enter the marketplace thereby endangering the health and safety of the American consumer.� The proposal violates the 1957 federal law that established the current poultry inspections process, which requires federal inspectors to perform a “careful examination� of the carcass of every bird processed to determine its fitness for purchase, Milledge wrote. Not only will federal inspectors be physically incapable of examining every carcass, the proposal eliminates the current

requirement that federal inspectors examine the internal organs, or viscera, of each bird. Many of these parts are sold for human consumption, including chicken livers and giblets. “Under this new system, poultry parts will be sold to the public that have never been inspected by a federal inspector in violation of federal law,� Milledge wrote. AFGE and other concerned consumer groups have denounced the proposed regulations and organized petition drives and other protests.

REAL ESTATE GUIDE

The unemployment crisis for younger workers recent Government Accountability Office (GAO) report recommends that Congress take action to alleviate the pain of the recession that is felt by America’s oldest workers. Within the recommendation, the GAO offers several policies to accomplish this objective, including subsidies to employers who hire older workers, training programs for older workers and compensation for older workers who accept lower-paying jobs. This excessive concern offers relief to a portion of the population that has felt the least pain in the recent downturn. If assistance must be offered to a specific classification of workers, it is the youngest who are most in need. ■Since 2000 the labor force participation rates of workers age 55 and over have been rising steadily, whereas the labor force participation rates of workers 16 to 24 years old and workers 25 to 54 years old have been declining. ■The biggest decline in labor force participation rates can be observed for workers aged 16 to 24. ■Over the past 10 years employment has increased among Americans age 55 and over by 8.9 million. ■At the same time, it has declined by 3.1 million in the 25 to 54 age group, and by 313,000 among those aged 20 to 24. ■The labor force participation rate of seniors has increased by 5.7 percentage points from 2002 to 2011, yet declined in other age groups. Furthermore, the long-term prospects of younger workers are far bleaker than those of their older counterparts. ■A new paper in American Economic Journal: Applied Economics found that graduating in a recession leads to earnings losses that last for 10 years after graduation. ■Researchers also found that earnings losses are greater for new entrants to the labor force than for existing workers, who might see smaller raises, but who have jobs.

EPA’s Pretense of Science: Regulating Phantom Risk he U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would have Americans believe that hundreds of thousands will die unless its new and unparalleled regulatory agenda is enacted. Targeting emissions of fine particulate matter (PM), regulators argue that they seek to reduce premature deaths across the United States and improve health outcomes overall, says Kathleen Hartnett White, director of the Armstrong Center for Energy & the Environment at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. However, as is so often the case with the EPA’s regulatory agenda, the justifications for its policy recommendations are misleading and hyperbolic. The following represents the EPA’s depiction of its PM-limiting regulations and subsequent projected benefits: ■EPA studies estimate the Clean Air Act (which regulates fine PM along with several other emissions) will save 230,000 lives in 2020. ■The EPA monetizes the value of those saved lives at nearly $2 trillion but

T

estimates the direct compliance costs at a comparatively paltry $65 billion. ■Thus, the EPA implies that the public pays only $1 dollar for every $30 dollars in health benefits as a result of additional reduction of PM. ■Over 90 percent of the $2 trillion derives from alleged prevention of “premature mortality.� However, the studies informing these conclusions and justifying the regulation are inconclusive, fail to consider scientific objections and overgeneralize. ■PM causes premature deaths: No direct evidence of this causation has been found, as EPA studies merely assumed causation from a discovered correlation, and even these studies failed to control for crucial confounding variables. ■There is no PM emissions threshold below which the air is healthy: Because PM also results from natural processes (i.e. volcanoes, erosion, brush fires), attempting to reduce emissions below natural levels will be ineffective and

unlikely to save lives. ■“Lives saved� have extraordinary value: EPA studies value a “saved life� at $8.9 million, yet because the regulations specifically extend the lives of the elderly, standard public health protocol suggests that the true valuation should be closer to one-sixth of this figure. EPA cost-benefit analysis assigned a 100 percent probability to the truth of each of its assumptions. Properly discounted for a generous 50 percent probability (and including the proper valuation of a “life saved�), regulatory health benefits fall to $19 billion, compared with $65 billion in regulatory costs.

â– In addition, recessions lead workers (especially younger workers) to accept employment in small firms that pay lower salaries. Finally, younger workers tend to have larger debts and fewer assets than older workers. Young homeowners tend to buy their houses during the buildup to the housing bubble, subsequently witnessing a bottoming out of their home value.

What end of Bush Tax Cuts means for you he so-called Bush tax cuts are scheduled to expire at the end of this year. While these cuts have been characterized by the Obama administration as being largely beneficial to the wealthy, this is a mischaracterization. Rather, the package of tax cuts contains tax-alleviating assistance for broad portions of the population. Thus, letting them expire would have numerous negative consequences, says Yahoo! Finance. First, there would be higher income taxes for all (not just the wealthy). ■The existing 10% bracket will go away and the lowest “new� bracket will be 15%. ■The existing 25% bracket will be replaced by the new 28% bracket. ■The existing 28% bracket will be replaced by the new 31% bracket. ■The existing 33% bracket will be replaced by the 36% bracket. ■The existing 35% bracket will be replaced by the 39.6% bracket. Second, there would be higher capital gains and dividends taxes for everyone. ■Currently, the maximum federal rate on long-term capital gains and dividends is only 15%. ■Starting next year, the maximum rate on long-term gains is scheduled to increase to 20% and the maximum rate on dividends will skyrocket to 39.6%. ■Furthermore, the unbeatable zero percent rate that currently applies to longterm gains and dividends collected by people in lowest two rate brackets of 10% and 15% would increase to 10% on gains and 15% and 28% on dividends. Third, the expiration of the cuts would increase the marriage penalty, which can cause a married couple to pay more in taxes than when they were single. ■Right now, the bottom two tax brackets for married joint-filing couples are exactly twice as wide as for singles. ■Starting next year, the joint-filer tax brackets will contract, causing higher tax bills for many. ■Currently, the standard deduction for married joint-filing couples is double the amount for singles. ■Starting next year, the joint-filer standard deduction will fall back to about 167% of the amount for singles. The expiration of the cuts will also see the return of the phase-out rules for itemized deductions and personal exemptions.

The cost of ever-increasing federal regulations he federal government’s reach extends well beyond the taxes Washington collects, and its deficit spending and borrowing. The laws that it promulgates, especially those that affect our everyday lives, act as a means of control that greatly expand its role in society, says Clyde Wayne Crews, vice president for policy and director of technology studies at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Federal regulations cost hundreds of billions — perhaps trillions — of dollars every year over and above the costs of the official federal outlays that dominate the policy debate. ■ Estimated regulatory costs, while “off budget,” are estimated to be $1.75 trillion and are equivalent to over 48% of the level of federal spending itself. ■ Regulatory compliance costs dwarf corporate income taxes ($198 billion), exceed individual income taxes ($956 billion) and even surpass pretax corporate profits ($1.3 trillion). The issuance of such regulations and the rapid expansion of government in the private market has been a signature style of the Obama administration since 2009. During his tenure, the president has unleashed federal agencies to regulate at will and to grant the government dominance over broad swathes of economic activity. ■ The 2011 Federal Register finished at 81,247 pages, just shy of 2010’s all-time record-high 81,405 pages. ■ Agencies issued 3,807 final rules in 2011, a 6.5% increase over 3,573 in 2010. ■ Of the 4,128 regulations in the works at year-end 2011, 212 were “economically significant,” meaning they generally wield at least $100 million in economic impact. ■ The total number of economically significant rules finalized in 2011 was 79, down slightly from 2010 but up 92.7% over five years, and 108% over 10 years. ■ These costly regulations do not only hit companies that can afford them — 822 of those 4,128 regulations in the works would affect small businesses. Large sections of the Federal Register are filled with individual pieces of massive legislation, such as the health care reform and the finance regulatory bill. However, the next year will have its own behemoth pieces: the Environmental Protection Agency’s Mercury and Air Toxics Standards Rule and the Department of Transportation’s Fuel Economy Standards.

How much does the federal government owe? he growing government debts of countries across the globe continue to dominate headlines. The United States’ publicly held debt is expected to exceed 70 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) this year. However, the public debt is only one part of the federal government’s total liabilities. For example, in addition to the public debt, federal civilian and military employees have accrued significant pension and other retirement benefits based on their employment in previous years. These obligations are already on the books and will be paid out in the future, say Liqun Liu, a research scientist at the Private Enterprise Research Center at Texas A&M University, and Andrew J. Rettenmaier and Thomas R. Saving, senior fellows with the National Center for Policy Analysis. ■ 2011, the federal government said it owed $10.2 trillion in public debt, accrued federal employee pension and other retirement benefits of $5.8 trillion, and other federal liabilities of $1.5 trillion, for a total of $17.5 trillion. ■ However, Social Security and Medicare benefits payable to current retirees are not included as liabilities on federal balance sheets, though these two programs currently account for over one-

T

third of federal spending – approximately $12.8 trillion. ■ The public debt plus benefits payable to federal workers and the accrued Social Security and Medicare benefits payable to retirees total $30.3 trillion. The $30.3 trillion, however, only accounts for accrued benefits and does not include the obligations that are expected to arise in coming years; including these obligations results in a much higher number. Indeed, in 2011, a conservative estimate of these amounts totaled $84 trillion – more than four times what the federal government admits it owes ($17.5 trillion). We could try to meet these obligations by raising taxes. But how much of the economy can the government claim in taxes each year without adversely affecting GDP growth? ■ The funding shortfall is 5.7 percent of the present value of all future GDP. ■ This implies that in the long run the federal government will need to increase taxes from its previous 50-year average of 18 percent of GDP to 24 percent of GDP or a tax increase of 30 percent. The growth of the economy will slow as a result, making it more difficult to meet the federal government’s unfunded obligations.

The history of Farm Bill spending he farm bill comes up for renewal every five years, and its specific provisions determine whether major farm programs administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will continue. Recently, the Senate passed a bill with provisions that will be included in the next farm bill. The bill must now go through the House, says Veronique de Rugy, a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center. Looking to the recent history of farm bills in the United States, the immediate question becomes why they are necessary at all. In the end, recent farm bills have amounted simply to an enormous amount of spending on an area that requires little support. ■ The USDA distributes farm support through major programs, such as commodity payments, crop insurance, marketing support, farm conservation and agricultural research. ■ According to the White House bud-

get, the historical trend of federal spending (adjusted for inflation) on farm programs averaged roughly $28 billion per year for the 1996 farm bill and $27 billion per year for the 2002 farm bill. ■ The five-year cost of farm programs in the 1996 farm bill was $141 billion, while the 2002 farm bill was $125 billion. The most recent farm bill enacted in 2008, according to the Congressional Research Service (CRS), should have been significantly smaller than its predecessors. However, projections underestimated its true cost and the 2008 farm bill became yet another opportunity for rent-seeking special interests to receive unneeded financial support. ■ When the 2008 farm bill was enacted, the five-year cost (FY2008-2012) of major farm support programs was projected at $83 billion, an average of $16 billion per year. ■ CRS then updated estimates in 2010 to show a higher fiveyear cost of $87 billion, an average of $17 billion per year. ■ The White House budget, however, shows that spending for farm subsidies during this most recent period is closer to $104 billion, an average of $21 billion per year. Furthermore, the availability of these funds creates more opportunities for special interest groups and lobbying. In 2010, 10 percent of farms received 74 percent of all subsidies. Moreover, with farm household incomes 25 percent higher than the average U.S. household income, farm subsidies amount to corporate welfare for the relatively well off.

hat started as an attempt to get access across Bureau of Land Management (“BLM�) land in western Colorado for one patented mining claim owner has turned into a full scale war by the federal government to make an example out of a private landowner to “deter [actions regarding access to private property] in the future.� Private landowner Andrew VanDenBerg is at the center of the controversy, including now being vilified by a press release issued by the Colorado U.S. Attorney’s Office (part of the U.S. Justice Department). Access to private property is guaranteed across federal lands by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (“ANILCA�). Although the private landowner is required to file an application explaining the location of such access, that application cannot be denied under ANILCA. According to the Senate Committee reports regarding ANILCA, Congress intended to eliminate the federal government’s discretion in allowing adequate and feasible access to inholdings by “direct[ing] the Secretary to grant the owner of an inholding such rights as are necessary to assure adequate access to the inholding, and is intended to assure a permanent right of access to the concerned land across, through, or over these Federal lands by such State or private owners or occupiers and their successors in interest.� The problem with the application system however is that the BLM routinely, and many times, intentionally and unreasonably delays processing such applications, thereby denying access to the private property during the processing. It is more common than not to have an application for access delayed years, all the while denying access to private property. How can a private landowner enjoy and use his property if he cannot get to it? So starts the story for Mr. VanDenBerg. He cannot access his private property and

the federal government refuses to process his application for reasonable access. But that is not all of the story. In complete frustration at the bureaucratic delays and denials, Mr. VanDenBerg decided to use an existing road to get to his property. This road, noted as an existing road on the 2005 San Juan National Forest map and known as County Road 33A, has been in existence since 1886. The road was clearly visible on the ground as well as noted on the federal government’s maps. Mr. VanDenBerg cut dead fall timber from the roadway and moved it out of the way. Although he followed the tracks of the road and he did not get out of the roadway that has existed for over 125 years, the BLM charged him with civil trespass charges in federal district court. Not wanting to expend the money on a huge and expensive trial, Mr. VanDenBerg decided to settle with the BLM. The settlement agreement states that Mr. VanDenBerg does not admit to ANY of the claims or assertions put forward by the government and that he is simply reimbursing the federal government for the reclamation of the dead trees he cut. Although he did not want to settle with the federal government, he recognized that the federal government is represented by the largest law firm in the world, the U.S. Justice Department, and that he would be buried in litigation costs. He thought a settlement agreement would end the matter and that the BLM would process his application so that he could have the access to his private property that he was promised by Congress. But before the ink on the agreement was barely dry, the U.S. Attorneys Office issued a “press release” that incorrectly labels Mr. VanDenBerg as a “trespasser” and claiming his attempt to access his own private property is “unauthorized.” The release also states that Mr. VanDenBerg’s actions occurred in a “wilderness.” All of those statements had been disputed by Mr. VanDenBerg. Even the settlement agreement itself noted that these statements are only allegations by the United States, yet their press release states them as fact. When asked about the false and misleading statements in the press release (in addition to noting that Mr. VanDenBerg denied all of the allegations in the settlement agreement), the U.S. Attorney noted in an e-mail to Mr. VanDenBerg’s attorney, “While I realize that you and your client were disappointed in the press release, . . .

it is routine for this office to issue press releases on these kinds of settlements, especially in cases where the conduct is of the kind that we hope to deter in the future.” The attitude taken by the federal government reminds me of the EPA Administrator who resigned in April of 2012 after his admission that the EPA enforcement is “like how the Romans used to conquer little villages in the Mediterranean. They’d go into a little Turkish town somewhere, they’d find the first five guys they saw, and they would crucify them. And then you know that town was really easy to manage for the next few years.” He then said the same approach could prod companies (and individuals) to obey environmental laws: “You make examples out of people who are not complying with the law.” In specifically reviewing the EPA’s tactic, often the “violations of the environmental laws” were not based upon statute or regulation, but based upon an interpretation by EPA personnel. The same holds true in these access cases. Congress guaranteed the right of access to private property across federal land. However, the intent of Congress is being completely ignored because individual landowners do not have the

time and money to enter into costly legal battles against the massive bureaucracy to enforce their right of access to their private property. Exposing these infringements upon individual rights to the public and to Congress is a way to have these governmental agencies and the individuals within the agencies stop their unlawful coercion, intimidation, and strong arm tactics against individual citizens who have limited resources to defend themselves against these injustices. Mr. VanDenBerg has continually tried to gain access approval to his private property that he has owned since 2007; the BLM refused to grant him adequate access and he still has no access to his private property. Even though the BLM and Mr. VanDenBerg settled their legal dispute with neither party proving their case and Mr. VanDenBerg specifically stating that he did not admit liability for any fact or legal conclusion, the U.S. Attorneys office still issued a press release to make an example out him like the Romans did to conquer Turkish towns. Given the magnitude of the number of private individuals harmed by these illegal types of actions, it is no wonder that the federal government is mistrusted by so many injured individuals. ■

Torres Vega by CURTIS FORT

he next morning we saddled up and rolled a smoke. The temperature was in the teens, and Bill was grinning as he shot the powder, or to say . . . he was giving us directions. He said that he and Tom would hit a trot down the river to drift to the Horse Ranch pasture those bred cows we dropped in the Vigil Vega last fall. Bill told Ronny and I to jump our mounts into the bobtail truck because he had talked to Jim Taylor on the two-way radio and he and Charlie needed to work some cattle. We headed west up Rock Creek to Castle Rock, then south ten miles to Brimmer Camp. We backed up to a hump of dirt to jump our mounts out. Jim Taylor and Charlie Duran were already mounted and when Ronny’s bronc jumped out he broke in two and jerked the reins out of Ronny’s hands. He bucked up against the horse corral, which caused him to throw his head up. In one jump he was headed for other parts. Jim was mounted on a big dun named Navajo. He throat-latched that bronc with a pretty loop, threw the slack to him and when he hit the end of the rope, it jerked Ronny’s mount straight over backwards and he banged his head on the ground. It was good medicine for that bronc. So when he got up he wasn’t near the scorpion he was the minute before . . . and that was his name. As Ronny reset his saddle he was grinning, and as he stepped aboard Scorpion I’m sure he was glad Jim ironed him out. Scorpion seemed to have a better than normal attitude and seemed happy to hit a trot to the top of a high ridge, where Jim pulled up and scattered us on a drive in Bobcat Canyon. We threw 100 or so cows together at the drift fence and as we loose-herded them, Jim and Charlie worked the herd cutting out the weaker cows. We threw the rest on fresh range down the canyon below the drift fence that divided the canyons. The cuts we drifted toward the Rim Rock Trap,

T

and took our time. After we had gone a good ways, Jim asked Charlie if he and Ronny didn’t mind heading on to camp and get some dinner going as it was already nearly noon. They said “Bueno, and we’ll have some coffee boiling and steaks a sizzling when you’ll get there.” It was cold, but we eased those cows along while visiting and pretty soon we turned a corner in the canyon where there was the gate to the Rim Rock Trap. Jim trotted around and opened the gate and I eased them through. Then we dropped them at a windmill pumping warm water. There was a salt and mineral block in a log trough that some artist with an axe had made years before. A rock bluff was on the north side of the mill that faced the south. With the sun hitting there, it was a good place for cattle to get some extra feed and get stronger. Jim and I hit a trot for camp and after a couple of miles we turned a corner and could see the camp, smoke curling out the top from the Home Comfort cook stove. It made the last mile or so that much better, knowing that there was some good chuck being prepared. We could almost smell the coffee. As we trotted into the Brimmer camp, we unsaddled under a shed that had a big pole hay trough. Scorpion and Timber were enjoying the hay and we put our riggings on the top rail under the shed, out of the falling snow. Then we turned our mounts in with theirs. It was a treat to step into the camp house. There were several pegs and a set of deer horns to hang our hats, coats and chaps on. As we sat down at the table, Ronny poured us a cup of cowboy coffee. We rolled a Prince Albert smoke while Charlie was adding a little more canned milk to the gravy. About then Charlie said, “Let’s eat!” Steak, biscuits and gravy . . . I still remember that meal and how it hit the spot. We had more coffee, but snow was still falling and the outfit

wasn’t paying us to visit. So we saddled up, loaded our mounts and headed for headquarters. Ronny’s mount showed a lot more sense than he ever had as we jumped them in that bob-tail truck. By time we got to headquarters and unloaded, it was still lightly snowing. Ron and I flipped a coin and I headed to wrangle the horse pasture while Ron made a circle in a trap to check on some late calves we had just weaned. Tom and Bill had prowled another canyon on their way back and we all got to the horse corrals at same time. After I corralled the horses, we all caught the next day’s mounts gave them hay under the shed, along with our tired mounts. We headed for our camps a little ways from the horse corrals. It was a long, cold day. But thank you Lord, it was a good day, working cattle on a big mountain range, with good men, steak and gravy and good horses. The next morning, we saddled up, and Bill told me to go to Torres Vega and get those bulls that we were short. He knew it wouldn’t be easy and figured they might need a little choking to set their minds in the right way of thinking. So I hit a trot, went up the Vermejo to Torres Vega and glanced over towards the old camp where Gold Creek runs into the Vermejo Creek. There was this big melted spot with the rest of the country still covered in snow. There was no more camp. I guess that fire we built a couple days before lit all that old manure and burned that old camp down, even though every thing had a foot of snow on it. We sure didn’t mean to do that. (Funny thing was . . . three months later, around late April, Ronny and I had spent a long day on horseback. We were pulling our saddles off some tired mounts when the manager drove up and walked in the horse corral. Now, he had a problem with stuttering, and always liked to be the first continued on page 205

would use one around the horns, another through that one and around the tree. I did the other bull the same and left them there. I hit the long trot home. It was the last light of day when I stepped off Friday at the saddle house, rubbed his back, gave him a good bait of grain and walked up to my lodge. A hot bath, elk steak and gravy and eight hours sleep makes you well. Next morning, as we were saddling our mounts and waiting for Bill John to shoot some powder, he bummed a smoke off Ronny. As

one to make the big circle through the high country when the roads were finally opening up. He said, “I m-m-m- made the loop, and I w-w-w- went into Torres Vega. And by d-d-d-dang, lightning must have hit that old c-c-c- camp and b-b-b-burned it to the ground.” Ronny and I both acted quite surprised and we both commented that it was too bad that had happened.) I got to the north end (the Colorado line), went through a gate and made a circle cutting for tracks. I turned back and picked those two bulls up. Back and forth, back and forth . . . as only you that have herded bulls by yourself can relate. As I got ‘em down to the gate, they wouldn’t go through and turned up the creek. They weren’t wild, but just being bulls, had Curtis Fort decided they were not going through the wranglin’ horses gate. I got tired of this and roped one as he Vermejo Park, February 1974. passed a tree, then rode around it fast, snubbed him up and tied him to that tree. Vermejo Mountains I used to unravel old nylon ropes and make in the background. four-plat piggin’ strings, and they were big and stout. I always carried two of them, but when I left that morning I had a thought that I might need couple more. I

he dragged a match across his leggin’s he asked how I made out yesterday. I told Bill what I did and he said that we’d let ‘em soak a day and they’d have a better attitude. The next day Ronny and I jigged back and lead those bulls to the Elk Trap corrals. Tom took the bobtail to get them early the next day while the roads were frozen. We came in the backside of the horse pasture, just before dark and penned the winter mounts for tomorrow’s ■ circle.

NMLB Using Facebook, Email to Spread the Word he New Mexico Livestock Board (NMLB) is using new online information tools to help producers, and anyone else who needs to move livestock into, out of, or around New Mexico to stay current on animal health issues. “We are con-

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the following described estray animals have been taken under the provisions of Chapter 77, Article 13 of New Mexico Statutes Annotated 1978, and sold for the benefit of the owners of said estrays as provided by law.

tinuing our efforts to make the agency more user-friendly, and hope these tools will be convenient for livestock owners,” said Myles Culbertson, Director of the New Mexico Livestock Board (NMLB). New Mexico’s current outbreak of vesicular stomatitis (VS), highlights the need to distribute information as quickly as possible, Culbertson said. “Restrictions on and requirements for moving livestock have been changing quickly as new cases of VS are found in different parts of the state. Using the internet to get information out immediately allows people to act quickly to protect their animals’ health.” Cattle, horses and pigs can be affected by the disease, which causes painful lesions on animals’ mouth, nose and lips. “Livestock owners need to watch their animals closely, and contact their veterinarian immediately if they suspect their livestock may be infected,” said Dave Fly, New Mexico State Veterinarian. “New Mexico’s last significant outbreak of VS was in 2005, so we have a large animal population that is susceptible to the disease.” VS is a contagious disease, spread mainly by biting insects. “One of the best things people can do to protect their livestock is to be diligent with fly spray, espe-

cially in the afternoon and evening when biting insects are more active,” Fly continued. This summer, VS cases have been identified in Otero, Valencia, Socorro and San Miguel Counties, and other areas in the state are likely to experience the disease over the next several months. The NMLB is recommending extreme caution in the movement of livestock into any affected county, unless they are going directly to the auction market. Event organizers are asked to work with a veterinarian to ensure all livestock entering the event are free of the disease. This is a disease that creates very fluid control and management systems, so stay in touch with your veterinarian and watch the NMLB website for up-to-date information, Culbertson said. Vesicular Stomatitis is considered mildly zoonotic and in rare cases can be transmitted to humans, according to Dr. Paul Ettestad, New Mexico Department of Health. In people, it can cause an acute illness that resembles influenza. The incubation period is usually three to four days, but can be as short as 24 hours or as long as six days. The symptoms may include fever, muscle aches, headache and malaise. Vesicles are rare, but can occasionally be found on the mouth, lips or hands. Most people recover without complications in four to seven days. Precautions are recommended when handling suspect livestock, Ettestad continued. Humans can become infected when handling affected animals, contaminated fomites, tissues, blood or virus cultures. To prevent infection, protective clothing and gloves should be used when handling infected animals. To sign up for online updates from the NMLB, people can “like” the agency’s Facebook page, or visit www.nmlbonline.org, and click on the red “Sign up for email notices from the NMLB” button. “We believe these will be excellent tool for notifying the livestock industry on news items, alerts, emergencies, new rules, and other timely notices,” Culbertson explained. “Facebook is becoming a popular way to get information out to the public, but we realize that it’s not the best way to reach everyone,” he continued. “With two options – Facebook and direct emails – we hope to reach a majority of the people we serve. Of course, we are always available to answer people’s questions over the tele■ phone and in person.”
