Most Lamb
Prices Hold
Steady-Firm
Scattered showers have
occurred throughout much of
Texas the last several days,
ranging from heavy to light and
wide to narrow, but all was appreciated.
Feeder lamb numbers have
been short everywhere with
most either shipped or committed, and most markets will be
closed next week for the Fourth
of July holiday.
Fat and feeder lambs were
generally steady to firm where
tested.
Slaughter ewes were a
couple of dollars higher, but no
livestock of any kind has been
shipped across the Mexican
border since early last week.
Livestock exported to Mexico
must now be inspected on the
Mexico side of the border, but
pens for inspection have not
been built yet.
Central area dressed lamb
prices were rather uneven,
mostly $1-3 lower on middle
and lightweights and around
$1 higher on weights over 85
pounds. Most sales were $197207 on Friday with 60-85 pound
averages $200.26-202.96, 45-60
pounds $202.99-204.37, lights
$207 and heavies $199.92.
The carcass cutout on Monday was down $5.07 at $233.72.
There were 1062 metric tons,
or around 2.3 million pounds
of lamb and mutton imported
the week ending May 15, the
equivalent of 82 percent of
domestic production that week.
Shipments included 1024 mt of
lamb and 38 of mutton.
Lamb slaughter for export in
New Zealand during the four
weeks of May was the lowest
on record for the period at 1.3
million head.
San Angelo feeder lambs
weighing 40-60 pounds brought
$118-123, a package $128, 6070 pounds $109-116 and 70-80
pounds $105-110. Goldthwaite
quoted 45-70 pound lambs $96106 and 70-80 pounds $99-105.
Hamilton lambs weighing 4060 pounds were $108-117, 6080 pounds $106-114 and 80-100
pounds $104-118. Midwest
feeder lambs of 60-80 pounds
made $100-110 and 80-100
pounds $90-100. Faith, S.D.

$124.50-126.50, 90-105 pounds

$117.50-128, 80-100 pounds
$111.75-118.50, and 100-115
pounds $103.50-108.
Feeder lambs weighing 50
pounds moved direct in West
Texas last week at $120, 60-75
pounds $112-115 and 80-90
pounds $110-112. North Dakota moved 90 pound feeders
at $113.50. Wyoming committed 80-85 pound lambs for September delivery at $106-110,
and Oregon called 95-100
pound lambs $96. Utah committed 90-105 pound lambs at
$105-108.50 for September-October and the Manti-LaSalle
pool delivers 95-100 pound
lambs in October at $112.30.
Fat lambs weighing 90-120
pounds in San Angelo brought
$96-105, 70-90 pounds $105112, 60-70 pounds $108-115,
and 40-60 pounds $118-123.
Goldthwaite called 85-120
pound lambs $90-100 and 4575 pounds $95-115. Sioux Falls

$104-105.50.

SAN ANGELO, TEXAS
THURSDAY, JULY 1, 2004
MAD COWS were all the talk again this week, but with an abundance of good groceries,
unseasonably cool weather and more rain, these West Central Texas cattle weren’t
even moderately peeved. Several days of stormy weather deposited moisture over a
large share of the state, though some areas caught too much and others received theirs
in the form of hailstones.

Plains Fed Cattle In Limbo
Awaiting Final BSE Test Data
Not one but two “inconclusive” BSE tests kept the fed
cattle market in a holding pattern at midweek as buyers and
sellers both awaited definitive
results. The futures board
charted like a rollercoaster.
At presstime, packers were
using the confusion to bid
mostly $83-84 following last
week’s predominantly $90 market, though there were reports
of an $86 offer at one yard. For
their part, feedlots were asking
$90-92.
The Texas Cattle Feeders
Association counted 62,543
head on members’ showlists,
down 2911 head from last week.
Area captives were down 1349
head at 40,581.
Direct trade was quiet elsewhere as well. Midwest terminals paid anywhere from $83.25
to $87, bulk $85-86.
Stocker and feeder cattle
sold steady to higher across the
country this week, though
rainy weather left some Texas
markets out of the action.
Joplin, Mo., sold 3600 head
at fully steady rates and a
roundup of four Florida auctions found steady going on
2378 head between them.
In Texas, Crockett and
Hallettsville went unreported.
Rain-reduced receipts of 674
head at Three Rivers were
quoted steady, and about 1000
head at Graham were steady on
weights over 600 pounds, $2-3
higher on lighter kinds. Ama-
rillo called 1953 head steady on
heifers and steady to $1 higher
on steers.
Oklahoma City, with 9179
head on offer, was steady to $2
higher on feeder weight steers,
steady on similar heifers, and
steady to $5 higher on calves.
Best steer calves included a few
weighing 350-400 pounds at
$144-157; 400-450 pounds $135155.50; 450-500 pounds $137-139;
500-600 pounds $120-139; 600-700
pounds $116.25-126.50; yearlings,
600-700 pounds $119.50-126; 700750 pounds $115.25-120; 750-800
pounds $112.25-119; 800-900
pounds $108.50-115; and 900-925
pounds $107.25-111.50.

Combs Takes Issue With Mexico
Over Livestock Import Ruling
AUSTIN — Texas Agriculture Commissioner Susan
Combs last week contacted
U.S. and Mexican officials urging them to delay an order immediately requiring that all livestock entering Mexico must be
inspected on the Mexican side
of the border.
“Because there are inadequate inspection facilities in
Mexico, the Mexican government has essentially closed the
border to the movement of all
livestock,” Combs said. “This
is a deliberate affront to free
and fair trade.”
The commissioner added
that this not only impacts livestock sales, but also recreational activities such as trail
rides.
On Friday, June 18, U.S.
Department of Agriculture officials met with their Mexican
counterparts and requested a
60-day delay in implementing
the order, which became effective June 17. The Mexican government denied the request.
“The 60-day delay would
have at least allowed both governments to resolve some major problems as a result of this
order,” Combs said. “For instance, there are virtually no
livestock holding facilities in
Mexico, and what they do have
are inadequate to handle all
livestock. You can’t hold sheep
and hogs in pens designed for
cattle and horses.
“In addition, some of the
facilities are several miles beyond the border. Are the Mexican customs officials at the
border going to allow livestock
to enter the country without
the proper health and inspection certificates?”
Combs also is concerned
because the newly implemented policy does not have
any procedures for animals
that do not pass inspection.
The Texas Department of
Agriculture operates five export pens along the Mexican
border to facilitate the movement of livestock into Mexico.
The pens are located in Browns-
ville, Del Rio, Eagle Pass, El
Paso and Laredo. The department also has export facilities
located at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston.
Before the June 17 order,
Mexican veterinarians would
inspect all livestock going into
Mexico at TDA’s facilities and
issue the proper health and inspection certificates.
In fiscal years 2002 and
2003, a total of more than 1.5
million head of livestock
moved through TDA’s export
pens to Mexico.
Mexico is the leading country for Texas livestock exports.
In 2003, exports of livestock
and livestock products totaled
almost $44 million.
“Closing the border to livestock exports would severely
impact the economies of both
countries,” Combs said. “This
ridiculous order has far-reaching consequences that will impact producers and the agricultural industry on both sides of
the border.”

a real blast and invite some

Charles has a unique occupation as the owner of a farm
that produces sod grass for
residential and commercial
landscaping. With several hundred acres located right on the

beautiful, slow-moving Colorado river, Charles conceived
the idea of floating a barge
down the river and setting off
an elaborate fireworks display
for his guests seated on the
banks of the river.
The grass farm with its
many acres of closely clipped,
green, Zoyzia and St. Augustine grass was also made to order for kids to run across and
follow the progress of the
barge and fireworks with
safety.
The problem was that a fireworks ordinance prevented
purchase of product locally, so
Davis set out to find a roadside vendor. The first place he
came to seemed to have an
ample supply. A large fellow
with long hair, a beard, and
numerous tattoos showing
through a sleeveless motorcycle jacket crawled out from
under a psychedelic van
and squinted up at Davis with
a semi-toothed grin, and cheerful, “Hey, man!”
Davis asked about Roman
candles, seven boxes. “Oh, wow,
man! I got ‘em,” came the reply.
Starbursts, bomb blasts,
and elaborate aerial displays
were inquired about and several cases purchased.
“Cool, man, wow!” exclaimed
the aging hippy, “Hey, man,
wha’cha’ gonna do with all this
dyno-mite?”
Charles quietly explained
that he planned a party with a
fireworks display on a barge
that would free-float down the
river.
“Oh, wow, man, outta sight!”
said Mr. Cool. “Hey, man, are
you rich or somethin’?” he inquired. “This costs a lotta
bread.”
Davis explained that he was
not rich, but he just wanted to
show some young people how
the Fourth of July should be
celebrated.
As Davis finished loading
his pickup with merchandise,
the last question came, “Hey,
man, what do you do for a living to be able to spend this
kind of bread on a party?”
“I grow grass,” explained
Charles.
The old hippy cried out,
“Heavy, man, heavy.”

Nation’s Feeder Cattle Higher;
Summer Beef Demand Looks Good
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. —(USDA)
— Yearling feeder cattle sold
steady to $2 higher across the
country last week, and stocker
cattle and calves made a quick
rebound from last week’s minor setback as prices ranged
$1-5 higher. The bulk of the
lightweight cattle were sold in
the southeastern markets.
Cash fed cattle prices also
made a nice recovery early in
the week to get back to $90 live
and $140 dressed.
The onset of summer normally brings lackluster cattle
markets, but the demand for all
classes of cattle continued to
grow last week and temperatures were unseasonably cool
and comfortable throughout
the majority of the nation.

Severe Panhandle Storm Causes
Significant Damage To Crops
AMARILLO — How much
damage can one storm deliver
during a single night?
Plenty, as preliminary damage reports from a severe Panhandle storm showed last
week. With urban statistics ramping up the cost of damage to structures and vehicles, estimates are
mounting into the millions of dollars. In rural areas, farmers walk
through their fields, checking
for damaged crops.
Agriculture and natural resources agents and crop specialists with Texas Cooperative
Extension were soon out helping agricultural producers assess the aftermath.
“The worst hit will go to
wheat awaiting harvest,” said
Dr. Robert Bowling, Extension
integrated pest management
agent in Moore and Sherman
counties. “Corn is still young
enough to recover from substantial defoliation without se-
rious reductions in yields. Sorghum is a later crop, so its
fledgling status could show
more damage than corn.”
Bowling and Tim Trimble,
Moore County Extension
agent, were out early Tuesday to
talk to farmers and check area
fields. Danny Nusser, Extension
agent in Randall County, also
reported the storm could have
been much worse in his area.
“About five percent of the
fields had 50 percent or more
defoliation,” Bowling said.
“However, corn up to the 12 to
14-leaf stage can withstand a
great deal of leaf damage without serious yield reductions.”
Seeing some stalk damage
from hail north of Dumas, Bowling said some fields were really dinged. But hail and wind
damage may not be the only
concerns for farmers.
“Hail-damaged plants provide entrance sites for stalk rot

and corn smut among other
pathogens, and could further
weaken plants and may cause
corn to fall prior to harvest,”
he said.
Defoliation or shredding
from large hail and high winds
will affect the leaf canopy and
foster weed growth. The
leaves shade the plant base
and prevent sunlight from
reaching any weed seeds waiting to germinate.
In the northwestern Panhandle, three storms in two
weeks have damaged crops.
Willie and Mildred Wieck, operators of Wieck Farms in
Moore County, report some
injury in their crops.
“We’ve been hit by three
storms this month alone. At
least one has touched every
field we have, but it is too early
to know the real extent of the
damage,” Mildred said.
Bowling said the worst
thing to do right now is to judge
total damage. Results seen immediately following a storm
may appear much worse than
the actual damage. Allowing
plants to recover a few days
after a storm can provide a better indication of actual losses.
“Even insurance adjusters
like to wait five to 10 days to
make final assessments to allow plants to recover from immediate effects of severe
weather,” Bowling said.
Young cotton in some of
the fields may have been
thinned by hail, Wieck said.
Corn plants are showing some
stripped leaves.
The moisture from most
storms is usually a good thing,
area farmers say. The Wiecks
rushed portable pumps to low
spots in their fields to capture
pooled water for irrigating dryland sunflowers. Harvesting
has resumed in their wheat
fields. The Wiecks realize
yields will be affected, but by
how much?
“Right now we can only
guess,” Mildred said.
Erica Cox, research assistant with the Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station at the North
Plains Research Field north of
Dumas, said crops in experimental fields received minimal
strikes. Her husband, a certified crop advisor in the area,
said some corn fields north of
Cactus would be a total loss.
In Randall County, the destruction varied, with structures and vehicles bearing most
of the brunt of Monday’s turbulence. Most wind and hail damage to crops is west of Amarillo
and just outside the Canyon
city limits, Nusser said.
“Hail stripped corn leaves
in some spots with plants laid
down by the wind. In most
cases, yields will not be affected since plants are in the
early stages of development,”
Nusser said.
Some of the flooding will
cause problems in young cot-
ton and sorghum, but how
much just isn’t known. Randall
County’s dryland producers
may benefit most from the
moisture brought by the storm.
Native pastures will improve
tremendously. But there’s a
downside — most of the western and southwestern portions
of the county got little to no
rain.
“Much of the damage fell
to homes, barns and vehicles
in Amarillo, Canyon and the
Ceta Canyon and Wayside areas,” Nusser said.
City dwellers say this is one
for the record book. In the
country, some farmers might be
wondering if the next black
cloud will bring something better, or worse.
Monday’s storm brought
baseball to grapefruit-size hail,
lightning strikes and tornadoes along with downpours.
The storm followed two Interstates: I-40 to the west toward
Bushland and Wildorado, then
south on I-27 from Amarillo to
Canyon before losing steam.

N.M. Governor Pledges Support
For Ag At Cattle Growers’ Meet
By David Bowser
ANGEL FIRE, N.M. —
Holding a paper cup of coffee,
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said he expects Japan
and South Korea to open their
borders to U.S. beef early this
fall.
Having returned the night
before from Asia, Richardson
told the New Mexico Cattle
Growers Association at their
summer conference recently
that he had met with Japanese
and South Korean trade officials.
“I took advantage of these
meetings in Korea and Japan
to broach the subject of BSE,”
Richardson said. “We’ve been
on this intensively, more than
any other governor in the
country. I told these leaders in
Korea and Japan that I understand their caution. I also hammered the point diplomatically
that our livestock and our beef
are safe. New Mexico is totally
safe.”

is a major concern of his.
“I just returned from Asia
on a trade and economic development trip,” Richardson
said. “We were very successful and signed a number of
agreements that will bring jobs,
mainly technology jobs, to the
state that deals with some of
the technology housed in our
research facilities. Developing
these technologies in the commercial market is going to mean
more high-wage jobs in New
Mexico.”
He said New Mexico is doing well.
“Two states in the Union today have budget surpluses,”
Richardson said happily.
“We’re one of them. Wyoming
is the other one, but Wyoming
doesn’t count because they
don’t have any people.”
With a grin, he said he told
that to Dave Freudenthal, the
governor of Wyoming, also a
Democrat, and admitted that
Freudenthal wasn’t amused.
“Three states in the Union
have positive job growth,”
Richardson said. “New Mexico is one of them with 26,000.
Despite the trends in the national economy, we are creating jobs and mainly agricultural jobs. What is particularly

positive about our outlook is
that we have an almost AAA
bond rating, which is about the
highest you can get.
He said New Mexico has the
third largest fiscal reserves in
the nation, about 8.5 percent
of the state’s budget.
“The state is in good financial condition,” Richardson
said. “That doesn’t mean that
there aren’t problems. That
doesn’t mean we don’t need
higher wage jobs. That doesn’t
mean that we don’t continue
our commitment to build our
agriculture industry, build our
cheese plants, build our cattle
industry, try to find a way that
state government doesn’t
over-regulate you.”
Despite significant setbacks in the cattle industry, he
was pleased to hear that agriculture and the farm economy
in general are doing well.
“That’s great news for all of
us,” Richardson said. “Thanks
to strong trade, record cattle
prices and increased production of milk, New Mexico is in
solid shape.
International trade, he said,
is part of that.
“I want to especially mention an agreement that many
of us worked together on,”
Richardson said, “the North
American Free Trade Agreement. We are experiencing, particularly New Mexico and the
U.S., tremendous growth,
about $18.5 billion. It is benefiting the livestock industry.”
Still, he said there is a need
to protect the industry in this
day of terrorists.
“Obviously, in New Mexico, we have had a system to
protect agriculture bio-secu-
rity, even before the discovery
in the Pacific Northwest of
BSE,” Richardson said.
“We’ve strengthened that security since I took office.”
He said his director of
homeland security has worked
closely with the Department of
Agriculture, livestock organizations and public safety and
health officials on an emergency response plan for the
agriculture component of biosecurity.
“The bottom line is we’re
coordinating,” Richardson
said. “The state government
works with both federal agencies and livestock industry representatives to ensure that the
New Mexico livestock industry is protected and assure our
citizens that we’re protecting
our food supply. I know we’ve
made a lot of progress in working with our neighbors from
Mexico. I know members of the
New Mexico Livestock Board
have met with Chihuahua
Cattle Growers and used their
computerized systems for
tracking live cattle. Producers
in New Mexico are going to be
an important component of our
new tracking system.”
Richardson said the new
national animal identification
plan is an important issue for
the health of the livestock industry. Nobody questions the
need to monitor animal disease
and to establish a national
emergency management response.
“I strongly believe that we
must enhance consumer confidence in agriculture products
produced across the country,”
Richardson said, “particularly

to support you in trying to get
federal funding in what will
surely be a federal mandate.”
He said he’s already fought
for adequate federal support
for homeland security and
spending on public schools.
“It’s important to hold the
federal government accountable for an animal identification
program,” Richardson said.
There is one issue, however, that has divided the state,
he said.
“That is the issue of oil and
gas development in New
Mexico,” Richardson said. “I’m
a strong proponent of oil and
gas development. I was Secretary of Energy. Our state is
blessed with many oil and natural gas resources that contribute to our coffers.”
Richardson recently appointed a water expert as director of oil conservation.
“He’s a career bureaucrat,
not a political appointee,”
Richardson said. “He knows
the issues of water.”
Richardson said he is encouraging oil and gas drilling
and exploration that is more
sensitive to landowners, such
as ranchers.
The governor said he’s
taken a stand, however,
against oil and gas drilling on
the Otero Mesa in southeastern New Mexico until there is
serious scientific review of that
area. Much of the land there is
under the auspices of the U.S.
Bureau of Land Management.
“It’s important that we look
at that possibility of not just
protecting the wildlife and the
agriculture in that area, but
also assure ranchers and farmers that their ability to deal with
their land and their objectives
are
protected,
too,”
Richardson said. “All I’m saying to the federal government
is let’s study this issue, let’s
have a dialogue before indiscriminately deciding to drill.”
About a third of New
Mexico is under federal control.
“We have many other
places in New Mexico where
we are drilling,” Richardson
noted.
He said he is supporting a
move to drill in the Carson National Forest and everywhere
else in the state.
“But when we do it on Otero
Mesa,” Richardson said, “be
careful. Let us do it in a collaborative way and not say this
is our policy and we’re going
to move forward without regard to the farmers, ranchers
and conservationists in the
area.”
Richardson said he wants
to protect the ground water on
the Otero Mesa.
“I believe what we’re saying is let’s be cautious and let
us be careful,” Richardson
said. “We also want to be sure
that we continue our efforts to
have a water policy in New
Mexico that protects the rural
part of the state.”
The state’s water engineer
has conducted hearings
around the state concerning
the precious resource.
“He’s had more than 100
hearings,” Richardson said.
“We want to be sure that the
water policy of the state protects the farmers and ranchers.
We want to be sure that we
have conservation policies, but
also a policy to deal with new
technology and policies that
say to the agriculture industry,
you’re critically important.”
Richardson expects to talk
about interstate water transfers during the Western Governors Conference he’s hosting in Santa Fe this month.
“We’re going to talk about
that,” Richardson said. “I think
it’s reached the stage where we
need to be a little bolder.”
He asked for support from
the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association.
Richardson said he also
wants to talk to Texas about
the Rio Grande Compact. Under the compact, the amount
of water released from the Rio
Grande in New Mexico to flow
down along the southern

“In the last year and a half,
I’ve been trying to get the Texans to talk to me about some
of the compacts and how we
can renew them and how we
can find ways to make it more
equitable for us,” Richardson
said. “I’m not quite there yet.
The first step is to get a meeting with the Governor of Texas.
We’re close, but our staffs have
been working in some ways
that we can look at some of
these compacts again.”
A border conference is
scheduled in August in Santa
Fe.
“All the border governors
are coming,” Richardson said.
“That’s when I hope we can

should have taken them out

Richardson said they didn’t
think long-term.
“It’s left us a little bit behind,” he said.
Several members of the
NMCGA expressed their gratitude to the governor for his
stand on taxes, particularly
property taxes and agricultural
lands.
“I appreciate that,”
Richardson said. “When I ran
for office, I came to one of your
conventions, I think it was in

support, but I said I’m going

“From there I went to work
for the U.S. Department of Agriculture for about a year,”
Ziche says. “Then I was director of Valles Calderas for the
past two and a half years.”
He describes Valles Calderas as an experiment in federal
land management.
“I tried to get that organization started up and going in the
right direction,” Ziche says.
The Valles Calderas, under
the control of the Forest Service, is the old Baca Ranch,
which the government purchased and is now running by
committee as a model ranching
operation that allows hiking
and recreation.
There are a lot of issues in
this U.S. Forest Region, which
includes Arizona and New
Mexico, Ziche says. Partly because of the change in the
White House and partly because of the extended drouth
in the Southwest, those problems came to the attention of
officials in the nation’s capital.
“The message was getting
up to Washington that there
were some real problems in this
region,” Ziche says. “Washington advised the regional
office that they needed to do
something about that.”
Consequently, Ziche says
the Forest Service is trying to
rebuild relationships, and in
some cases build relationships,
with the livestock industry and
the grazing permittees. He
says they are trying to improve
the situation at the local level
instead of trying to work out
the problems in Washington.
“As many people know,”
Ziche says, “solutions in
Washington, D.C., often have
unintended consequences
that don’t always work out.
Having been there seven
years, I can attest to that in a
number of cases.”
The regional Forest Service
office in Albuquerque decided
to set up what they’re calling a
range working group.
“Pete Clark, who was the
Forest Service supervisor up
on the Rio Grande National
Forest on the Colorado border,
was asked to start the process,” Ziche says.
He was to do this by building better relationships with
livestock operators holding
grazing permits on the national
forests in New Mexico and Arizona.
“It just so happened I was
in the market for a job when all
this blew up,” Ziche says, “so
Pete asked me if I’d be interested in pursuing this on a
longer term basis.”
In April, the regional forester hired Ziche for a year to
work on the project.
“If I can get anything done
and improve the situation,
great,” Ziche says. “If not, I’ll
probably be looking for a job
in about nine months.”
The regional office convened a meeting with leaders
in the livestock industry in

April to lay out on the table
the way they were administering the range program, Ziche
says. He says the regional forester listened.
The deputy forester was
tasked with overseeing the
program.
“My job,” Ziche says,
“what we’re trying to do, what
we’re attempting to do, is visit
each of the 11 units in the region, both here and in Arizona,
and try to get a perspective as
to where the major crises are
occurring. There are crises. We
need to sit down and figure out
how to address those.”
He says the program is solution-oriented.
“We can’t dwell on the
past,” Ziche says. “We’ve got
to move forward.”
He says the purpose of his
presence at the New Mexico
Cattle Growers Association’s
recent summer conference here
is to begin the process of moving forward.
A key person in the program, Ziche says, is Floyd
Reed.
Reed, a retired range conservation officer in the Forest
Service, has been hired on a
contractual basis. Reed spent
33 years as a range conservation officer for the Forest Service in Colorado, Nebraska and
Wyoming.
“He’s had a very successful career in developing systems that work both for permittees and the agency,” Ziche
says. “That’s the kind of thing
we’re looking for.”
Ziche says the Forest Service wants to come up with
solutions that work for everybody. He says he’s sitting
down with the Forest Service
staff and trying to figure out
where they’re having problems.
“They can tell us where the
The
permittees aren’t satisfied with
their operations,” Ziche says,
“and they’re coming forth with
that.”
Ziche says that after he
completes that initial survey,
he plans to sit down with the
permittees and the Forest Service personnel and see if something can be worked out.
“We don’t want this to be
one-sided,” Ziche says.
Reed and Ziche are expected to bridge the gap between the Forest Service and
the permittees.
Ziche says the Forest Service wants to protect the forests, and that in his view,
ranchers want protection of
their grazing allotments. He
says he thinks the two objectives can be compatible.
“You can’t graze cattle
where there’s no forest,” Ziche
points out.
He knows it won’t be easy.
“We’re working with a declining forage base,” he admits.
Ziche says there is a lot of
competition for the forage out
there, and that needs to be
turned around so the forage is
available in the long term.
Among the problems are
the encroachment of trees
onto grasslands, and elk and
wildlife.
“Our land base has been
declining faster than ever,”
says Virgil Trujillo, a Northern
New Mexico rancher.

vice in the past has cut back
cattle numbers because a growing elk population has grazed
much of the forage, but cutting
the livestock numbers does no
good because the elk are still
there and still grazing.
Trujillo says he’s concerned about what happens on
the ground and the resources
available to the program.
“I can recognize drouth,”
Trujillo says. “I can adjust for
that, but there are other competing factors.”
Trujillo says part of the tree
encroachment is the result of
the Forest Service’s fire suppression policies.
“We’ve got to reclaim that
rather than reduce ourselves,”
he insists.
Trujillo says the forests are
supposed to be managed for
multiple use, and he questions
whether multi-use resources
couldn’t be used to make the
forests and the grazing allotments healthier, something
with which Ziche says he
agrees.
“The first thing we’ve got
to do is set some objectives,”
Ziche says. “What is it that
we’re after?”
Ziche says it’s also going
to take work by the permittees.
He says he’s seen allotments
where the permittees have gotten out and done some of the
work themselves. There have
been other places where volunteers have helped.

“A partnership is critical,”
Ziche says. “The agency can’t
do it by themselves.”
Ziche says he realizes that
a lot of permittees feel they’ve
given more work than their
share, but it’s going to take effort on everyone’s part to come
up with workable solutions.
He sees the program as a
two-step process.
“The first step is we’ve got
to talk to each other,” Ziche
says. “That’s why I’m here.”
Based on the communication and the building of a good
relationship, the second step
is solving the issues at hand.
“Relationships are great,”
Ziche says, “but if you’re not
doing anything on the ground,
then it’s all for nothing.”
Caren Cowan, executive
vice president of the New
Mexico Cattle Growers, says
Ziche has a positive history
with the organization.
Ziche isn’t that familiar with
Arizona, so for the past six
weeks he’s been in that state.
“I’ve spent a lot more time
in Arizona than I have here,”
he says.
Now, he’s expecting to
spend more time in New
Mexico.
Ziche says he is not a decision-maker, but he thinks he
July 1, 2004

eekly

has the support of the decision-makers. He says the regional office in Albuquerque is
taking the situation seriously.
“This is a critical issue,”
Ziche stresses. “We need to
build those relationships
back.”
And that, he says, depends
upon communications between permittees and the
agency.
Faced with a number of
complaints at the NMCGA, Ziche
says he hopes he can help find
solutions to the problems.
P

Those problems range from
the specific, such as wanting
game fences to keep elk out of
pastures, to attitudes and a
lack of cooperation by Forest
Service employees.
Some solutions may require
money. Others may simply require adjustment.
Being able to sit and listen
may be the most important aspect of the program.
“Working together, we can
rebuild a relationship that will
benefit everyone long-term,”
Ziche insists.

“A perfect legislative groundwater program would prevent
cases that call for application
of judicial groundwater doctrines from reaching the
courts,” Johnson remarked.
“But perfection is elusive.
When a Texas groundwater
case involving an issue not
addressed by the legislature
comes to the Supreme Court of
Texas, it seems that the court
should undertake to fill the
gap, unless there are sound
reasons not to do so in the case
presented.”
If the Texas Supreme Court
did decide to reconsider its
position on the right to capture, there are three possible
alternatives, Johnson said.
They are the “reasonable use”
doctrine, the “correlative
rights” rule and the Restatement (Second) of Torts 858.
The reasonable use doctrine provides judicial solutions for landowners whose
reasonable use of groundwater is harmed by unreasonable
use on the part of others. This
doctrine, Johnson noted, essentially says that water used
on any land other than the tract
where the well is situated is
categorically classified as unreasonable, no matter how
beneficial it may be.

apply the “correlative rights”
rule for water law in their state.
The correlative rights rule
entitles each landowner to a
“fair and just” proportion of
the supply of groundwater.
However, Johnson pointed
out, this right extends only to
the quantity of water that is
necessary for use on one’s
land. The surplus is available
for appropriation by others.
Appropriated surplus water
may be used off-tract, he
noted, but rights of appropriators are subordinate to correlative rights for on-tract users.
“One of the negative features of this doctrine is the difficulty in ascertaining ‘fair and
just,’” Johnson commented.
“Litigation is usually necessary to make this determination,
and each subsequent case may
modify the previous definition.”
The number of acres owned
could be used as a criterion for
defining “fair and just,” but
that method, Johnson pointed
out, fails to take into consideration other relevant factors
such as the suitability of the
land for various uses of water.
“For example, in areas
where irrigation is a major use
of water, irrigable acreage of a
tract may be a better criterion
than total acreage,” he noted.
“What would be the fair share
of an industrial plant on a small
tract in an irrigated area?”
Another factor is variations
in the nature of the aquifer.
California courts consider such
factors, but a recent Supreme
Court decision, he noted, demonstrated that flexibility has its
limits.
“This was a complex lawsuit requiring adjudication of
groundwater rights of over
1000 parties,” Johnson explained. “Most of the parties
Be Well Mounted
1-877-944-5500

of Civil Appeals applied the
reasonable use doctrine. In this
case the Houston and Texas
Central Railroad dug a well on
its property to supply water for
use in its locomotives and machine shops. The railroad’s
well dried up the well of a neighboring landowner, so the landowner sued the railroad for
damages.
“The rule they applied did
not call for a balancing of the
interests,” Johnson said. “The
court simply looked at the railroad use. They were however,
using the water off-site, and
according to the reasonable
use doctrine any use of water
on land other than at the wellhead is categorically wrong.
That’s the reason the railroad
lost.”
The case was appealed all
the way to the Texas Supreme
Court, which applied the right
to capture rule and made it the
law of the land.
“Suppose, though, that instead of the railroad using the
water, a catfish farmer next
door used the water, and he
pumped huge volumes of water and that caused Mr. East’s
well to dry up. The Supreme
Court of Alabama had that very
case. That court considered
only whether catfish farming,
viewed independently, is a reasonable use of water. The court
did not consider the impact of
that use on nearby small irrigators. The court expressly rejected the balancing approach
applied in nuisance cases.”
It is for these reasons,
Johnson told listeners, that the
Supreme Court of Texas should
not adopt the reasonable use
doctrine.
A year before the Texas
high court decided the East
case, the Supreme Court of
California made the decision to

number of factors are taken into
account, including economic and
social factors.”
Liability, he said, is imposed
for withdrawal of groundwater
that exceeds one’s “reasonable
share” of the annual supply or
total store of groundwater. He
also noted that in this doctrine,
“reasonable shares” are determined on a case-by-case basis. Rigid acreage formulas are
not endorsed.
The restatement doctrine
also takes into account “direct
and substantial” impact that
unreasonably harms those
who hold rights in streams or
lakes.
“This provision literally
protects only owners of water
rights in the stream,” Johnson
told listeners. “Environmental
and other interests could be
incidental beneficiaries.”
Johnson pointed out that although all three doctrines affect the way groundwater resources are utilized, they are
not groundwater management
law. They are property and tort
law doctrines.
Johnson talked specifically
about the implications such
judicial doctrines might have
on some of the more significant
groundwater problems.
The Restatement doctrine,
he said, deals adequately with
well interference conflicts but
it does nothing to prevent their
occurrence.
“The Texas legislature can
and already has done something for this problem. There
is an existing statute that requires districts to deny permits
for new wells that might interfere unreasonably with other
wells. For wells outside districts,
like in the case of Sipriano v.
Spring Waters of America Inc.,
similar permits from a state
agency could be required.”
Quantification of groundwater rights is necessary for
effective marketing of groundwater. California’s correlative
rights doctrine has attempted
to do this, but Johnson noted
that it’s been difficult to actually apply.
“Quantification has been
achieved, however, in the
Edwards Aquifer by issuing
permits for specific amounts of
water, based on historic use,
and by capping total aquifer
pumping.”
The judicial doctrines all fail
to address the critical problem
of overuse of aquifers.
“The Texas legislature could
extend the useful life of aquifers by limiting total pumping,”
Johnson said. “These caps, however, “will not work unless they
are tightly designed to accomplish the goals of the water
management of the aquifer.”
There is also the matter of
unprotected interests. These
judicial doctrines protect only
those with water rights, principally landowners. They do not
take into account other interests such as environmental,
recreational and community
interests. Those interests,
Johnson said, must look to the
legislature for protection.
With regard to groundwater and surface water conflicts,
the Restatement provision imposing liability for pumping
that has a harmful “direct and
substantial” impact on holders
of water rights in streams and
lakes is helpful, but according
to Johnson it does not go
nearly far enough.
“It does not prevent harmful non-tortious pumping that
interferes with stream flow,” he
reiterated. “When there are a
multitude of pumpers, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to identify anyone
whose pumping has a ‘direct
and substantial’ effect on a
surface water course.
“The Texas legislature, however, could and has handled
this, by requiring districts to
withhold permits to pump if
additional pumping would
harm surface water rights and
interests.”
Johnson concluded that the
judicial doctrines are not all
that important with regard to
the rule of capture.
“Substituting one for another might help Texas address
some groundwater problems,
but it would hardly help meet
the most serious groundwater
problems confronting Texas. It
would seem that the main contribution could be made by the
legislature, the agencies and
the districts.”
What, then, should the Supreme Court of Texas do about
the rule of capture?
“It should not replace the
rule of capture with either the
traditional reasonable use doctrine or the California correlative rights doctrine. Instead, I
would hope they would apply
the Restatement of Torts 858.
This would not interfere with

legislative groundwater management. Conflicts would be
resolved in favor of the statutes.
The role of the Supreme Court of
Texas would thus be limited to filling gaps in the statutes.”
The legislature also could
enact a statute declaring that
the rule of capture for groundwater be replaced by one of the
judicial alternatives, preferably
the Restatement of Torts.
In lieu of that, the legislature might instead prefer to incorporate a regulatory statute
which also uses certain policies of judicial doctrines. The
Oklahoma legislature, he noted,
P
age 15

has done this by incorporating some aspects of both the
reasonable use and the correlative rights doctrine.
The Texas legislature could
also decide to do nothing about
the rule of capture, Johnson
noted.
“It might decide to continue
on its present course of directly
addressing groundwater problems. It may be that some
people who are unhappy with
particular situations are looking for
something or someone to blame,
and they’ve picked up on the rule
of capture. That may be the wrong
target,” he concluded.

trial court applied the settlement to all parties, including
those who had not agreed to
it, on the ground that it was
equitable to do so. The Supreme Court reversed, holding
that parties who had not agreed
to the settlement could not be
bound by it, even if it was equitable.
“This result,” he stressed,
“makes adjudication of complex multi-party correlative
rights suits very difficult to resolve.”
Another difficulty with the
correlative rights doctrine is
that landowners may decide to
exercise their rights at any time.
That potentially forces the
scaling down of existing adjudicated shares.
“The destabilizing impact of
unexercised correlative rights
is the same problem Texas had
with unexercised riparian rights
prior to implementation of the
Water Adjudication Act of
1967,” Johnson noted.
The third possible judicial
doctrine for groundwater is the
Restatement of Torts doctrine,
which basically says that the
legislature, not the court,
would decide whether to extend prior appropriation to
groundwater.
“For groundwater, the Restatement adopts some aspects of both the reasonable
use and correlative rights doctrines, but discards others,”
Johnson said.
“For example, the traditional
preference for on-tract uses is
discarded. Reasonableness of
use by litigants is determined
by comparing the reasonableness of their uses. There is a
balancing process, and a large

weather, the feral hog crop also
proliferated.

and generally raising havoc
with farm and ranch activities.
While these increasing numbers
are causing major problems, as the
use of wildlife resources becomes
an increasingly important incomeproducing activity for ranchers,
some are incorporating feral hog
hunting as a major part of feebased wildlife resources use.
Grass leases for livestock
production historically dominated the use of range resources. Now, fee-based wildlife resource use dominates the
use of range resources, especially in South Texas, where
feral hog numbers are increasing at an dramatic rate.
Grass leases to produce

Proliferation Of Feral Hogs
Leads To Control Initiative
By Jose G. Peña
Extension Economist
The U.S. feral hog population
has increased dramatically during
the past 10 years. Feral hogs are
found in around 19 states now.
stocking rates, compared to
hunting leases which are bringing $6 to more than $20 an acre,
depending on the environment, services provided and
what game is included.
Wildlife biologist Rick Taylor
notes that feral hogs are unprotected, exotic, non-game
animals and may be taken by
any means or methods at any
time of the year. This means a
significantly increased potential for the use of fee-based
range resources for feral hog
hunting, especially during the
off-season. Though there are
no seasons or bag limits on
hogs, a hunting license and
landowner permission are required to hunt them. Many
ranchers are offering special
feral hog hunts during the offseason for $150-$300 per day.
Background
The first true pigs were
brought to the United States
by early Spanish explorers
more than 300 years ago. As
colonization increased, hog
numbers subsequently increased. The major contributor
to the feral hog population is
attributed to the now-obsolete
practice of “free roam farming.”
Hog farmers would brand/mark
their hogs and release them
into the open woods to roam
free, breed and grow. The hogs
were separated by their brand/
mark and/or breed at harvest.
Many were never recovered
and were left to roam free as
feral hogs.
In the 1930s European wild
hogs, “Russian boars,” were
first introduced into Texas by
ranchers and sportsmen for
sport hunting. Most of these
eventually escaped from game
ranches and began free ranging and breeding with feral
hogs. There are few if any true
European hogs roaming wild in
Texas as a result of crossbreeding.
One of the many reasons
that feral hogs proliferated is
that they are omnivorous.
They eat both plant and animal matter and are opportunistic feeders. They survive and
prosper by eating anything,
including grasses, forbs, roots
and
tubers,
browse,
mast(acorns), fruits, bulbs,
mushrooms, animal matter and
many other foods.
The recent increase in
population and distribution is
due in part to intentional releases, improved habitat (especially water development), increased wildlife management,
and improved animal husbandry such as disease eradication, limited natural predators and high reproductive
potential. There appear to be
few inhibiting factors to curtail this population growth and
distribution, though extreme
arid conditions, especially in
West Texas, may impede it.
Population Problems/Control
Increasing feral hog numbers, however, are causing major problems and may be detrimental to livestock and other
wildlife. It is difficult to obtain
an accurate inventory because
they are nocturnal, inhabit
dense vegetation and are difficult to count since they do not
have night light eye shine,
which is typical of deer and
other wildlife species.
In addition to causing major physical damage to crops
and ranch facilities, feral hogs
are considered a disease amplifier species, i.e., they cough
and sneeze more germs than
other species. Feral hogs carry
diseases including brucellosis,
pseudorabies, tuberculosis
and others. Some diseases
cause reproduction problems
in domestic pigs. They are a
major potential vector for foot
and mouth disease because,
while they are carriers, the disease does not have a significant effect on them.
Population control is considered essential to feral hog
management. Dr. Susan Cooper says hunting, even under

heavy pressure, will not control the population. Feral hogs
have become well adapted to
our range habitat, so population management requires a
multifaceted approach. Trapping is a common method currently utilized by sportsmen
and landowners to control
population. Live trapping enables the individual to harvest
the animal, fatten it up, or sell
it. It also allows numerous individuals to be caught at once
without an active participant.
Concerns about unprecedented feral hog population
growth and the potential damage to the agricultural industry, such as the introduction of
foot and mouth disease, accidentally or as an act of bio-terrorism, have triggered a federal
initiative to reduce the feral hog
population. This initiative is
endorsed by the Farm Bureau
and many other organizations.
Programs under research
and development include the
development of feeds which
include hog contraceptives
that are non-toxic to deer, use
of GPS collars to improve tracking and population control, research on disease transfer
rates to help identify quarantine zones, and many other programs with an objective of controlling feral hog population
growth.

USDA Reports Two “Inconclusive”
BSE Screenings In Four Days
WASHINGTON — Fewer
than 9000 head into its
stepped-up “mad cow” surveillance program, USDA has already announced two “inconclusive” tests on so-far unidentified cattle.
The first reactor was reported last Friday, and a second was announced on Tuesday, only four days later. In
announcing the developments,
USDA was quick to point out
that the sensitive screening
tests were expected to produce
false positives and have produced
many where they have been
used in Europe and Japan.
Samples from the suspect
animals were to be tested using more reliable methods at
USDA’s National Veterinary
Services Laboratory at Ames,
Iowa. Results of the confirmatory testing were still unavailable as of presstime.
Some cattle industry representatives were critical of
USDA’s decision to announce
“inconclusives” because of
their potential to inflict unwarranted damage on the market.
The vast majority of cattle that
react to the screening test are
found to be BSE-free in subsequent tests, but the damage to
the market will have been done
by then, the critics contended.
Cattle futures trading plummeted Monday in the first day
of trading following the Friday
announcement but recovered
significantly on Tuesday prior
Steve Kay’s Cattle Buyers’
Weekly reported early this
week that both suspect animals were dairy cattle, the first
to revelation of the second “16-17 months old” and the
suspect positive. Trading was second eight years old. CBW

The Beef Promotion Operating Committee recently recommended a $52.5 million beef
checkoff budget for fiscal year
2005, an increase of about 3.9 percent from the $50.5 million initial budget for fiscal 2004.
The increase reflects both
an increase in projected revenue and savings from some
current projects that were completed under budget. The
Cattlemen’s Beef Board, which
administers the national checkoff program, projects revenue
of $47.3 million for fiscal 2005.
The breakdown of the budget recommendation, which
must be approved by the full
Beef Board and USDA before
any funds are expended, includes the following budget
elements: promotion, $26.8 million; research, $6.95 million;

In a move to aid livestock
producers hurt by drouth,
USDA has announced that
Conservation Reserve Program acres can be used for
emergency grazing.
Beef producers in affected
areas must contact their local
Farm Service Agency office to
determine eligibility. Among
the list of requirements, producers must accept a 10 percent reduction in the annual
rental payment for acres actually grazed this year.
To receive the designation,
counties must have suffered a
40 percent or greater loss of
normal precipitation or be at a
D3 or D4 level of drouth as rated
by the U.S Drought Monitor,
which can be viewed at www.
drought.unl.edu/dm/monitor.
The emergency grazing period will end September 30. CRP
participants who do not own or
lease livestock may rent or lease
their grazing privileges. Haying or
any harvesting other than grazing is not permitted.

Just like the cotton picker,
the drive-through car wash and
self-serve gas pumps, the
round baler has put legions of
young men out of work.
Maybe that’s not quite fair.
The kids are now competing
for fast food jobs because the
farmer and his wife can “do it
all” with machinery. I am not
bemoaning this labor-saving
technology. I never did like
stacking baled hay...I still
don’t. I’m just illustrating the
fallout of progress.
Handling 1200-pound round
bales and giant square bales
requires the proper equipment.
And because some farmers
live on that ragged edge between “the old days” and “the
new ways,” they are forced to
improvise. In an effort to cut
costs, Arnie decided to buy
one big square bale from his
neighbor. It saved him money
and would last several weeks.
He only had a few sheep, a
couple of show steers and a
horse to feed.
Arnie actually built a small

ATTENTION DIESEL OWNER
“Transform Your Already Powerful Truck
into a Monster Workhorse... in Minutes”
Is your Power Stroke, Cummins or
Duramax diesel just not pulling like it
should? Are you looking to beat rising
fuel costs?
Here’s exciting news. Upgrade your
diesel equipped truck today with the NEW
Dr Performance Power Module, and
you’ll instantly get all that promised
performance and fuel economy that you
“should’ve gotten” when you bought that
truck in the first place.
Experience to Believe. Just imagine the
feeling of your truck suddenly being able
to pull your fully loaded goose-neck
trailer like it was empty…all the while
accelerating like a corvette with the
smoothest most powerful throttle response
you have ever experienced… and now,
imagine getting up to 100 more miles
from your next tank of fuel… plus that
incredible performance gain.
Fuel Savings. Made for working class
folks who rely on their diesel trucks to get
the job done, your Dr Performance Power
Module will not only safely increase your
truck’s towing torque and passing power,
it will also save you money by paying for
it self with impressive fuel savings. Truck
owners testify of mileage increases of 3-5
miles per gallon, resulting in substantial
savings at the pump.
Power to Tow. Equipped with a Dr
Performance Power Module, your truck
will be safely transformed from an already
powerful truck into a monster workhorse.
You will get up to an incredible 40%
increase in raw torque and usable
horsepower which means frequent down
shifting is eliminated and your speed on
steep grades will increase 25-35 mph.
You’ll never be the last one up the hill.
Power to Go. We are talking genuine
performance and the smoothest throttle
response you have ever experienced in
your diesel truck. The second you press
down on the throttle you definitely feel
the difference. Your truck now accelerates
to highway speeds in less than half the
time and you are no longer waiting for a
mile of clear highway to pass on two
lanes. There is nothing like the feeling of
sheer power pushing you back into your
seat when you hit the throttle. You’ll see
clearer highway ahead instead of your
buddy’s taillights.
Not a Chip. What’s most important is
that you get this increased performance
without having to reprogram your factory
computer or over-fuel your engine.
Developed by Dr. B. Sadler, a pioneer in
diesel performance, your Dr Performance
Power Module is designed to improve
your engines performance by using
combustion efficiency performance
technology. Instead of adding excessive
fuel to the combustion chamber the way a
primitive chip does, the power module
precisely manages fuel delivery and boost
to increase your air/fuel ratios.
Better Combustion. Improving the
atomization and dispersion of injected
fuel into your combustion chamber causes
your air-fuel mixture to maximize thus
causing your existing fuel to burn more
completely. You get greater volumes of
energy during combustion which means
more power, better fuel efficiency and
longer engine life.
Peace of Mind. This process stops overfueling and heat from damaging your
engine. You save hundreds of dollars over
a chip because you don’t need to purchase
expensive gauges and larger exhaust or air
intake systems. Plus, your Dr
Performance Power Module is engineered
to work well within your drive-train
factory limitations.
Truck Owners Love It. “The biggest
thing I notice in my 2003 F250 6.0L
Power Stroke is that my mileage
increased from 15 to 19 miles per
gallon... that alone will pay for the
product... the really cool thing is the
smooth power and acceleration… my
truck feels like a Porsche, It’s awesome “
Ed Meyers, Meyers Ind., Midvale, Id
Simple to Install. Even if you’ve never
lifted the hood on your truck, with simple
“do-it-yourself” installation, in just
minutes you’ll have your truck upgraded
to a serious pulling machine.
Bottom Line. Does all this sound too
good to be true? Don’t just take our word
for how your NEW Dr Performance Power
Module saves you money with better fuel
economy, how it gives you the increased
pulling power you need to get the job
done faster or how you get all the
performance you thought you originally
paid for… try it for yourself.

and 15 feet of log chain, he secured his load to the back lefthand corner pipe. Behind the
wheel he let the clutch out. The
tires only spun. The truck
never moved. So, he dropped
into four-wheel drive, popped
the clutch and pulled the entire structure down on top of
his pickup!
Blaine, on the other hand,
managed to get two round
bales of meadow hay on the
back of his one-ton flatbed. He
hauled his load home and
backed down the slight incline
to his barn door. Then he
walked around behind, lifted
the tailboard and was immediately run over by the bale,
which rolled out, knocked him
down and flattened him into the
gravel.
He said it actually hurt less
when the second one came.

H.R. 3102 would allow the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
to enter into cooperative agreements with New Mexico State
University, the University of
Arizona and Northern Arizona
University for studies required
by NEPA.
Dr. John Fowler, who has
been involved in checking the
accuracy of the government’s
NEPA reports in the past
through New Mexico State’s
Range Improvement Task
Force, testified in June during
hearings in Washington that
USDA’s Forest Service often
relies on data from the 1960s
to make decisions.
Fowler says NEPA requires
a basic assessment of the environment, and that the system
has lost touch with the basics.
Dr. Joseph Feller of Arizona
State University, a school not
involved in the project, testified before the House Resources Committee that the
NEPA process requires independent oversight. He contended that land grant colleges
are often allied with farmers
and ranchers.
Feller complained that while
the land grant institutions
have the scientific wherewithal
to conduct the research, they
are not set up to handle the
public comment process.
The environmental activist
community is opposed to the
bill, claiming that it would undermine wildlife protection, remove environmental reviews
and eliminate public input.
Undersecretary of Agricul-

ture Mark Rey, who in the past
has assured New Mexico
cattlemen that the Forest Service will listen to their concerns, says he has reservations
about the bill, which was introduced by Rep. Steve Pearce,
R-N.M., last fall.
In addition to moving responsibilities for range analysis from USDA to the universities, the bill also would change
the way the Forest Service
consults with the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service as required by
the Endangered Species Act.
Under the proposed law, the
Fish and Wildlife Service would
have just one employee on a
NEPA review team to meet consultation requirements of the
Endangered Species Act.
Rey says he’s worried that
the bill could remove the Forest Service’s role in rangeland
management, but he says he
will work with Pearce to reconcile any differences. Rey admits
that the NEPA process takes
too much of the agency’s resources and keeps it from
checking rangeland and collecting data.
Pearce says he introduced
the bill in an attempt to relieve
the Forest Service’s backlog of
grazing permit applications in
his home state. He says the
government agency also has
insufficient data for its reviews.
By 2010, the Forest Service
is supposed to complete NEPA
analyses on 4100 grazing allotments.
Forest Service officials say
the environmental impact
analysis process, which includes public comment at six
or seven different intervals,
normally takes two years for
each allotment.
The bill would authorize the
Secretary of Agriculture to
spend $10 million on the program.

Good rains and cooler temperatures have really lifted
spirits across much of West
Texas. Mine got an extra boost
along the Clear Fork of the
Brazos last Wednesday night
at the graduation banquet of
the 12th Battalion of the Rolling Plains Bobwhite Brigade.
A hundred or so parents,
friends, and supporters gathered
on hay bales under the shade of
pecan trees to celebrate the survival of 30 high school cadets. As
they marched into the improvised
amphitheatre, only a stone’s
throw from the river, I read messages in the parents’ eyes.
Some couldn’t believe their

i.e., pinned just beneath the
throat. I assured them that the
significance of the lump of coal
would become obvious later in
the week.
At the Bobwhite Brigade,
the weight of a covey’s ultimate success or failure rides on
the shoulders of two people: a
Covey Leader and an Assistant Covey Leader. The Covey
Leaders are interested adults
who volunteer a week of their
time to help their fledglings
survive “quail week.” The Ascadences and reciting silver sistant Covey Leaders are cabullets (inspirational quota- dets who earned the right to

quail in the headlights look the
first evening of the camp. They
want us to do what? By when?
Impossible! Their ages went from
18 to about 60. I name them here
in ascending order by age.
The youngest was Carrie
Lewis, an 18 year-old college
intern from Houston. Lewis is
already a junior at Cornell, so I
knew she could handle the fast
track that we set at Brigades.
Rachel Canter made the trek
from East Texas; she had
served a tour of duty as a cadet in the 1st Battalion of the
East Texas Bobwhite Brigade
in 1995, and wanted to retrace
her steps through a Covey
Leader’s boots. Jake Webber,
originally from Nebraska, now
works on a quail-influenced
ranch in Fisher County. He
brought little knowledge about
quail, but a great outlook on
kids. Marc Bartoskewitz was
the quail ace; his occupation
is a quail biologist for the King
Ranch. Jean Robson, who lives in
Dallas, works as an administrative
assistant for a cosmetic company,
but had volunteered with other
youth camps before. Finally,
Curtis Burnett of Dumas sells
insurance, but made the long
trek because of his involvement in Quail Unlimited in the
Panhandle.
During the midnight de-briefing on Day 3, I assigned the Covey
Leaders a new task, untried at a
Brigade. I assigned each a song
for their rumination and comment. The songs assigned are
some that I favor as tunes that
make you reflect; they make
you question your priorities,
and your products in life.
The assignments were the
Beatles’ “Long and Winding
Road” for Carrie Lewis; Garth
Brooks’ “The Dance” for Rachel
Canter; Ronnie Milsap’s “What a
Difference You’ve Made in My
Life” for Jake Webber; Harry
Chapin’s “The Cat’s in the Cradle”
for Marc Bartoskewitz; the Hollies’ “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My
Brother” for Jean Robson; and finally Henson Cargile’s “Skip a
Rope” for Curtis Burnett. I asked
each to be prepared to recite a
few lyrics from the song at the
upcoming banquet and tell
what significance the song held
relative to their week at Bobwhite Brigade.
I speak of Day 2 or Day 4, but
in reality, it’s only one long day at
the Brigade. Cadets learn that if
you aim to get ahead in life, there
are times when you have to work
while others sleep. They learn
phrases like the Chinese “gung
ho” (“work together) and the
Latin “carpe diem” (“seize the
day”). And they learn that just
like a covey of quail, there is
strength in the whole, and that individuals are particularly vulnerable to an array of threats.
At the conclusion of Day 4,
I asked the cadets to examine
the lump of coal that still
dangled from their makeshift
nametag. Heat and pressure
had combined to begin a metamorphosis. As adults, we could
see, and appreciate, the difference in their confidence, their

abilities, and their attitudes.
Diamonds were emerging.
Some burst fully open by Day
5, and others are still a bit
shrouded. But the germ is
there. Continued grinding and
polishing will reveal a gem.
As we gathered by the river
for the graduation ceremony, cadets, ACLs, and Covey Leaders
stood at ease in formation. I asked
each of the Covey Leaders to come
forward and share what their assigned song had meant to them.
It was a touching moment for me,
and for them as well.
Indeed life is a long and
winding road, and when one
departs from Krooked River
Lodge, no matter which way
you travel, the road back to
civilization is uphill. Sure, we
could have missed the pain
(long hours of sleep deprivation), but we’d have had to miss
the dance (experiencing the
thrill of victory as cadets overcame
obstacles from hitting a clay target to speaking in public). And
indeed, what a difference all of
them have made in my life; the
spring in my step (and hopefully
my prose) is obvious. Oh, Mr.
Chapin, how your tune haunts me
about whether I’ve invested my
time well, and the poor returns
that await me if I have not. But
no, the load doesn’t weigh me
down at all, for all here are my
brothers. And yes, I do listen
to the children as they play.
And no, it’s not very funny
what the children say.
In a 1953 essay entitled “Conservation,” Aldo Leopold reckoned that “our children are our
signature to the roster of history.” There wasn’t an instructor there who made more
money being there than in his
“real job.” And several take
vacation, or hire someone to
cover for them while they invest a hundred hours in the
future of our natural resources.
My sincerest thanks to all
who carried a pen last week.
May your respective marks be
legible. And indelible.

I know God said in the Bible
that he’d never flood the earth

I don’t mean to be blasphemous, but if Noah’s ark were
built today, it would be a different story. Noah would try to
keep it quiet, but Larry King
would catch wind of the big
boat and have Shem, Ham and
Japeth on his CNN show to tell

The National Organization for

brutal conditions and close

stars would assert that all the
animals would be better off

Then they’d kill each other for the

Peruvian Paso breeders as to
the breed of horse selected,
and there’d be a real dogfight
to see which two cats got tickets to board the big ship. The
greenies would forget all about
saving endangered species
and be far more concerned
about saving their own sorry
selves.
The Department of the Interior would be very concerned
about salmon and sucker fish
and demand that more than
two of each be included in the
ship’s manifest. But a farmer
would suggest that since
salmon and suckers could
swim, perhaps they could survive on their own. Fourteen
university professors would
hire on as consultants to explain what God meant by a “cubit.” Once all the animals were
on board, the Defenders of
Wildlife would want to turn the
wolves and bears loose in first
class to roam free.
Since Noah was 600 years
old the last time he built an ark,
he’d grow tired real fast of the
bureaucracy in obtaining building permits. How could he
build an ark if he couldn’t cut
down any trees? Realizing that
it might get a little rank on a
ship after 40 days, the Air Quality Control Board would sue
Noah and his family for a zillion
dollars.
The government couldn’t

Noah, so they’d retire him with
full benefits and put the job up
for bid. A multinational corporation would then build the boat in a
foreign country, replace animal
cages with luxury suites, and make
the trip a tax-deductible cruise for
company executives.
The Nature Conservancy
would realize immediately that
the ark was truly “The Last
Great Place,” and they’d start
raising money to buy it. The
boat would come in over budget and leak like a sieve. Once
afloat, members of Green-peace
would circle it with their rubber rafts in protest. The Ark
Two would sink, all on board

TCU Ranch Management Program
The livestock industry’s projected future of consolidation of assets, narrowing margins, technological advances, and
global competition, has led to an increased need for qualified professionals to lead and successfully manage production
agriculture assets. The Ranch Management Program at Texas Christian University is working daily with successful
ranchers to insure that we are meeting the educational need of the next generation’s managers.
Ranchers and TCU developed the Program to teach students
applied management principles that have been proven in practice to be economically sound and sustainable. Students travel
over 9,000 miles to visit agricultural operations in various
geographical regions. This exposure to ranchers and other
agricultural businesses provides students the opportunity to
see successful agricultural management in practice, as well as,
make lifelong business contacts. The Program’s objective is to
prepare graduates to be total agricultural resource managers.
Students who attend the TCU Ranch Management Program
have various educational options and should expect to place
themselves ahead of their competition.
Students who wish to attend the Ranch Management Program and obtain Certificate of Ranch Management will
attend classes for one academic year (nine months). New
students or transfers intending to earn a Bachelor of Science
in Ranch Management may do so by completing TCU
University Core Requirements, applying to the Ranch
Management Program prior to the junior year of studies, and completing a General Business minor during their junior
year at TCU. The final year of study will be spent in the Ranch Management Program. Students who wish to obtain a
degree from TCU in a discipline other than Ranch Management, such as Business, Economics, Finance, or another
field, can now utilize the Ranch Management Program as a Minor to meet graduation requirements.
Applications for the upcoming class are currently being accepted. Enrollment is limited to 36 students each year.
Financial aid is available. Opportunities in agriculture are waiting for those prepared for the challenges ahead. Join us
in the next step toward your future.

Financial newspapers are
loaded with advice to later generations on retiring. However,
in all the tips, no mention is
made of being such a pain that
the Constitution needs to be
changed to solve the problem.
(Isn’t there a cliché close to…
Oh, I know one: “Don’t make it
a case for the Supreme Court.”)
I have been unable to find a
contact to gain more information on the amendment. The
guys I know with AARP are old
enough for emeritus status.
(Being old enough to retire from
AARP isn’t the same as whistling a little ditty like “I Dream
of Dolly With The Light Brown
Hair” to the tune of a rocking
chair creaking on the front
porch. When you become old
enough to retire from AARP,
“Bud” or “Sis,” you are going
to make the last Confederate
widow sound like she is slated
for a coming-out party at a
debutante ball.)
But it won’t be long until
the power shifts to a bunch of
young bucks in their late sixties and early seventies who will
never appreciate how cantankerous we had to be to change the
Constitution to freeze taxes for
graybeards and grannies.

Slaughter Cattle Price Higher
Last Week Under Good Movement
OKLAHOMA CITY —
(USDA)— Slaughter steers and
heifers sold $2-3 higher in direct trading across the country last week. Packers reluctantly pushed the market higher
as beef prices improved
slightly.
Slaughter rates remained on
the low side, though movement out of feedlots showed
good improvement after the
previous two weeks of fairly
moderate movement.
Southern Plains feeders are
still reporting cattle selling with
only minimal days on feed, but
North Plains lots have reported
larger numbers of market-ready
cattle available.
Boxed beef values on Friday at noon averaged $141.08,
up $.84 from the previous Friday.
Sales of slaughter cattle on a
national basis for negotiated
cash trades totaled 311,450
head through Friday morning.
The previous week’s full count
was 220,900 head.
The High Plains direct trade
had 35-65 percent Choice
steers and heifers weighing
900-1400 pounds at $86.50-91,
weighted average $89.80.
Midwest direct movement saw
35-80 percent Choice steers
and heifers of 900-1400
pounds at $88-90, weighted
average $89.29, dressed 550950 pounds $137.50-142,
weighted average $139.69.
Slaughter cows and bulls
were steady to $3 higher. De-
mand was good from packers
as many barns were running
limited numbers and packers
found it difficult to meet kill requirements.

GREELEY, Colo. — (USDA)

Midwest states sold
120,000 pounds, OB, BI, 1.52.25 inch fine lamb wool $11.10, medium lamb wool 80
cents.
Trading on mohair in Texas
was at a standstill due to lower
bids on most classes. A small
lot of OB adult, 34-36 micron,
brought $1.35.
Australian wool markets
closed the week higher, the
eastern market indicator up 11
at 779A cents per kilo clean. A
total of 82,671 bales were offered with sales at 86 percent.
This week’s offering is 69,000
