Kirsch ..........................................21 The 2007 Central States Corriente Association 14th Annual Show and Roping The CSCA opened its annual show in Hutchinson, Kansas, with check-in on Wednesday, May 23, 2007; a warm, humid day that turned into rain and hail downpours that flooded many streets and whole parts of the city. Tornado warnings were out for Hutchinson and many surrounding areas. The crew stayed extra late for those stranded and finding their way to the fairgrounds through alternative routes. All ended well and neither hail nor flood nor tornadoes would keep the CSCA show from going on. Not even a reduction from 455 entries in 2006 to 302 in 2007 could keep us down. Jeff Lane Passes ................................................................30 On Thursday we began the conformation classes with judging by Tommy Jordan, Alabama, for females and Calvin Schwartz, Nebraska, for males. The storms had blown all the Midwest humidity away and the day was beautiful. Help from the Pratt Community College Rodeo team kept all the animals moving smoothly back and forth from pens to the arenas for judging. Judging was followed by the annual reception and Cow Paddy Bingo to support the CSCA scholarship fund. Great support brought in $1050 for the scholarships for next year. It was also announced that Katrina Van Diest and Shiyrah Ramsey were awarded 2007 scholarships for $500 each. Judy Kuhlman Peterson won the wagering contest portion, picking the spot for the cow paddy from Jerry Taylor’s prize-winning cow.

A special thanks to Mary Van Diest, Show Secretary; Kermit Keplar, Barn Manager; Sharon Williams, Secretary-Treasurer; Brian Van Diest, Roping Chairman; Rettalou Massey, Hotel & Banquet Chairman; and Dennis Peterson for all their extra hard work this year. All of CSCA stepped up to the plate and we are proud of you. Friday was performance competition. Brad Lund, an AQHA Professional Horseman, gave an educational program to begin the day. He discussed and demonstrated how he trains new cattle for roping. Then he and his team of ropers gave an outstanding day of roping for all to view and the judges to use for evaluating the animals. The Pratt Community College Rodeo team provided bulldoggers. On Friday evening the group gathered at the water park at the Grand Prairie Hotel for a wonderfully wet time. From the spas to the two water slides, everyone enjoyed the wrap-up to a long day of events. 14 Departments On Saturday three roping events were held. We had a members, youth and women, and breeders roping. We were all glad to have Katrina Van Diest back with us from an overnight stay in the hospital in Wichita after a fall with her horses. We also had a wonderful time with the youth roping event. We had a group of 8 and under and a group of 8 to 12. Both had to head and heel the dummy animal. All entrants received a gold coin from a benefactor and ropes from Classic Rope Company. A buckle was awarded to the top Header and Heeler in the 8-12 age group. The buckles were presented at the awards dinner. The Corriente Corresponder • Fall 2007 Criollo Research at NMSU On The Cover Page 28 The 2007 Show and Roping season has been a huge success.

The retreat involved participation by Board of Advisors members Ginny Cates and Mel Gnatkowski and an opening session with the Presidents of the Plains Area Corriente Ass’n, Pacific Northwest Corriente Ass’n, Southwest Corriente Ass’n and the Texas Corriente Cattle Ass’n (unfortunately, other Board of Advisors members and the other two Regional Presidents were unable to be in attendance). I am hopeful that the deliberations held this past week will lead to some identifiable improvements in a variety of areas that will be of direct benefit to the individual NACA member. Those members that attended the educational program at the 2007 NACA Annual Meeting in Glen Rose, Texas will recall that the USTRC representatives encouraged U.S. origin Corriente breeders to have a demonstration for proving that these cattle have the same or better roping performance capability than cattle currently used in USTRC ropings. This past Friday, former NACA President Jeff Poole and Jean Poythress, representing a newly formed entity, American Roping Cattle, LLC, gave the retreat attendees an insight of a steer consignment contract that is to serve as the basic legal document for their effort to meet this opportunity. In essence, 300 fresh steers meeting a set of other criteria, will be needed in mid-January, 2008 for preparation to be performance tested (at least one truck load) in five ropings – Katy, Texas (February 14-17, 2008), Athens, Texas (February 29 - March 2, 2008), San Antonio, Texas (April 17-20, 2008), Stephenville, Texas (May 16-19, 2008) and San Angelo, Texas, (June 5-8, 2008). NACA encourages members to give serious consideration to lending cattle to be used in this important performance demonstration. In this report I intend to only highlight several other matters that are underway to assist members. For example, as mentioned in my last President’s Report, the Board has been actively involved in attempting to insure that Corriente member’s interests are being taken into consideration in the ongoing discussions relating to changes to regulatory requirements for TB testing of “rodeo event cattle”. I am pleased to report that through the direct participation of Idaho breeder Ted Hoffman, DVM, at the U.S. Animal Health Association’s (USAHA) Tuberculosis Committee meeting held in late October 2007, a Resolution was adopted that does not disadvantage U.S. origin Corriente cattle owners (see page 33 for content of the adopted USAHA Resolution). The Board has also approved the expenditure of travel and lodging funds that will be necessary to continue to ensure that Dr. Hoffman can sustain the necessary involvement with this USAHA Committee throughout the upcoming USDA/ APHIS 2008 rulemaking addressing tuberculosis issues. 6 The Corriente Corresponder • Winter 2007 KINNAN GOLEMON Another relatively immediate action item is the upgrading of the NACA Web site. Finalization of the details of the upgrade that is to be implemented will be a major topic at the NACA Board’s January 11-12, 2008, meeting that will be held in Kansas City. If you have suggestions relative to websites that you find informative, easy to navigate, very accessible to those limited by dialup services, etc., please forward this information to NACA Staff. In addition, it would be beneficial for the Board and NACA Staff to be informed should you have significant website design experience. In response to expressions of concern via a variety of our members, there will soon be very significant changes in the NACA’s approach to education, advertising, marketing, etc. The Board’s intent is to expand the advertising effort in such a manner that it reaches a much broader audience. The details of this increased and expanded effort about our education, advertising and marketing effort will also be a focal point for part of our upcoming Kansas City Board Meeting. I am also pleased to report that this past weekend’s Retreat has resulted in both a contemplated change in the Mission Statement, movement of several of our “goals” into the “policy” area, and identification of a set of goals that will focus the devotion of our limited resources toward the common challenge “NACA will be recognized as the preferred source for Corriente Cattle by 2012.” Needless to say, this is an ambitious undertaking, but without such a focus, our members will continue to face ever greater challenges in their efforts to meet their individual objectives. In conclusion, I call your attention to the fact that applications for NACA Board candidates must be filed by January 20, 2008 (see page 37 for details). I appreciate the opportunity to serve as NACA’s President. I also am very grateful for the many kind and supportive comments that I’ve received from individual members at the various Regional shows. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy and profitable New Year. I can be reached by e-mail: [email protected].

Carol was diagnosed with cancer in July and had to undergo chemo-therapy. We regret to report that she passed away December 6. Carol was a highly productive worker. She was NACA's registrar for over seven years, starting in mid-2000. She issued over 40,000 Corriente registration certificates during that time, more than any previous registrar for NACA. Carol had an easygoing, pleasant personality and a great sense of humor. Carol’s maiden name was “Smart,” Justice was her married name. As she put it, “I used to be Smart...but then I got married.” Then there was the time I had to leave the office because my cows got out. Carol covered my phone calls for me. If anyone asked when I would return, she told them, “When the cows come home.” Carol was preceded in death by her husband, Olen Justice, her parents and all her siblings (two brothers and a sister). She leaves two sons, Chris Justice of Denver, Colorado; and Charley Justice of Raymore, Missouri. Also a daughter-in-law, Carrie, and two grand-children, Connor and Alana, the family of Charley Justice.

With 105 head checked in and bedded down we all gathered for the Welcome Wagon BBQ. Thanks to Curt Artery and Zane Morris for the meat donation, and a great cook, we had a wonderfully prepared meal. The Calcutta on the roping classes was auctioned off before starting the Breeder’s Roping, Roger Schalla and Dave Slover took home the saddle honors. Roger Schalla really knows how to start things off on the right foot, attending their first PACA show, winning a breeders saddle and then Grand Champion Bull on Friday. Friday, September 28 turned out to be a beautiful day, especially with 24 breeders present for cattle judging. Thanks to the team effort of the PACA members and the Elks club, the show ran very smooth and classes kept rolling. Brian Van Diest judged the conformation and roping of bulls and steers along with the getof-sire class. Jay Matthews was the judge for conformation and roping of heifers along with the youth judging class. Friday afternoon we also held our Youth Dummy Roping, a big thank you to Ster and Jodi Thrush for sponsoring and coordinating this for the PACA. After the completion of the roping classes the annual PACA membership meeting was held, with a good turn out, electing new board members Ron Long and Brandon Volk with re-election of Dennis Boote. After the meeting open roping was held. Saturday morning kicked off with Cowboy Church, put on by Mark and Shelly Cain. God bless you! The women of the group started the roping day, Erin Morris won the J’Lynn (Matthews) Slover memorial saddle. Erin had been waiting for just the right year to win this awesome award, and this year she ended up with a nice baby blue ostrich seat saddle! Two membership draw-pots were held throughout remainder of the day. Then Saturday evening we all joined together to celebrate the winnings over the past two days at the banquet, held at the Tower West Lodge. Lots of awards were handed out and the fundraiser auction was once again a hit. Man those caps and sweatshirts keep growing in value, not to mention the $250 purse. This years award winningdonation heifer was donated by M & S Management, Mark and Shelly Cain (she won the yearling heifer class). The winning bid went to Dave and Tara Kalasinsky, Smith Canyon Ranch. Sunday morning we all loaded up our cattle and headed back home, for some it was going to be a long haul. None of us could have done it ourselves, it took teamwork, and a lot of effort from all attending. Thanks to everyone for coming and making the 2007 PACA Regional Show another success.

Winter 2007 • The Corriente Corresponder 15 2007 Eastern Corriente Association 3rd Annual Show By Peggy Mathews We began unloading cattle sometime around noon and were done checking them in, tagging and bedding them down by 8:30 on November 7. It seemed that the timing of the exhibitors could not have been better. It was a great feeling to have Tommy Jordan be one of the exhibitors that showed up to unload cattle, in spite of his recent stay in the hospital. The attendance at the show increased this year to 31 exhibitors, with around 50 in attendance and quite a few little Corriente enthusiasts. Once again we had new faces at our event and always welcome more. There were 189 individual animals contributing to the 375 entries. We woke up to a light frost in Meridian on the 8th for the start of the show. The show began with conformation of the males being judged by Marvin Knutson and the females being judged by Craig Nichols. With the classes being pretty substantial in size, they had a job on their hands. Friday began the performance portion of the show with Marvin and Craig both having a hand in the judging for the day. Once again the classes were large and they gave the ropers a run for their money. The two days of judging seemed to come off without a hitch, due to the assistance that the show manager, Gene Matthews and show secretary, Peggy Matthews received from all of the mem- Blue Hills Ranch Fowler, Colorado (719) 738-6278 Corriente Cattle For Sale Bulls, Cows, Heifers & Steers Roger and Pat Schalla 16 The Corriente Corresponder • Winter 2007 bers. A special thanks goes out to Dr. David Newell for all of his assistance in the setup of the facility that lent to the ease of moving the cattle and the workers that he gathered up to assist the members. Friday finished up with the Breeders Roping. First place was awarded with a Breast Collar and went to Randy McGee and Valley B Corrientes represented by Squirt Cook. Second place went to LF Ranch represented by Wes Goodrich and Zane Pritchard represented by Anthony Pritchard. Third place went to Gracie Newell represented by Daniel Newell and Wau-Ban-See Ranch represented by Zach Dobbins. Saturday began with the members roping, a #10 Jackpot with 89 teams and a #12 Jackpot with 76 teams. Dana Hebert did a great job of running the ropings for us. Noon found us in the middle of the arena with the activity that usually brings out a lot of fun and laughter – The Dummy Roping. The Under 5 winner was Zane Pritchard. The 6 to 7 year old age group was won by Noah Hebert and the 10 and over winner was Caleb Hebert. Saturday concluded with the Awards Banquet. A confirmation to the quality of the cattle entered into this years show is the fact that over 90 percent of the exhibitors went home with ribbons. Thanks to all the exhibitors for attending, we hope to see you back next year. A special thanks goes out to all of the sponsors of the classes and those who generously donated to the silent auction.

Daniels was hosting his annual Christmas For Kids benefit show at the historic Ryman Auditorium when Opry member Martina McBride delivered the surprise Opry invitation. After McBride walked on stage with what appeared to be a Christmas gift for Daniels, she opened the small box she was holding to reveal a Christmas card reading: “Peace, joy, love, and wishes fulfilled. These are the timeless treasures of Christmas. Thank you, Charlie, for all you’ve done to make Christmas wishes come true for thousands of children through the years. Now it’s time to make a wish come true for you, too. You’re officially invited to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Merry Christmas!” Daniels backed away, overcome with emotion while the crowd exploded with applause. “I can not even begin to tell you folks…this is very emotional for me,” said Daniels. “I never ever in my wildest dreams when I came to Nashville with my precious wife and son dreamed that this would happen. To think that now my name will be added along with all these great country artists. Thank you.” Following the Opry invitation, the Ryman’s stage curtains were pulled to reveal the Opry’s classic barn backdrop, and an Opry microphone stand was added center stage. Daniels performed the rest of the benefit show in front of the famous backdrop. Daniels will be officially inducted into the Opry during an Opry at the Ryman performance later this winter. 20 The Corriente Corresponder • Winter 2007 “Charlie Daniels’songs and musicianship are nothing less than legendary,” said Pete Fisher, Opry vice president and general manager. “He’s known worldwide as one of country music’s true icons, and all of us with the Opry are excited to welcome him into our family of new stars, superstars and legends.” Daniels has been a music icon for more than 40 years. Born in Wilmington, N.C., he was raised on a musical diet that included Pentecostal gospel, local bluegrass bands, rhythm & blues, and country music from the radio, including Nashville’s 650 WSM. During his career, Daniels has been awarded a Grammy, three CMA awards, the ACM Pioneer Award, and the TNN/Music City News Living Legend award for his musical contributions. His signature song, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” topped both country and pop charts, bringing him international acclaim. The artist’s current Blue Hat/Koch Records CD release, Deuces, is his first duet album and features guest artists Brad Paisley; The Del McCoury Band; Gretchen Wilson; Earl, Gary & Randy Scruggs; Bonnie Bramlett; Travis Tritt; Dolly Parton; Brooks & Dunn; Marty Stuart; Darius Rucker; Brenda Lee; Vince Gill; and Montgomery Gentry. Charlie Daniels is an NACA Life Member and continues to raise Corriente cattle at his Twin Pines ranch near Lebanon, Tennessee. NACA past president Thurman Mullins manages the ranch which also produces American Paint Horses. Winter 2007 • The Corriente Corresponder 21 Corrientes of the North By Rhonda Sedgwick Stearns Children learning American history are taught to sing, “In fourteen hundred and ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” Team ropers should teach their kids to sing, “In fourteen hundred and ninety-three – ropin’ stock came – the Corri-en-tee.” Truly, that’s when the first hardy, adaptable Spanish cattle began to graze the fresh grass of the New World! They were driven off ships in the West Indes, Central and South America, and Florida, where they immediately began adapting and conforming to their new environs. They scattered, seeking greener pastures, eventually spreading across the southern U.S. and up the coast of California. Even after other European cattle were introduced on these continents, pockets of the original Spanish cattle survived, mostly untainted. Across the America’s, these cattle are variously called Criollo, Corriente or Chinampo – all terms loosely translated to mean “cattle of the country” or “common cattle.” The world is discovering the hardiness and other positive characteristics of these somewhat amazing and efficient cattle, spawning cattle associations or registries in Florida, the Southwestern U.S., Spain and South America. The North American Corriente Association (NACA) is one of these. Members of the Board of Directors and Advisory Board of NACA today represent a wide geographic area, including Texas, 22 The Corriente Corresponder • Winter 2007 Oregon, Missouri, Nevada, Wyoming, New Mexico, South Dakota, Montana and the province of Alberta in Canada. NACA members reside in more than 40 states, plus Canada, Mexico and Australia, and it is “one of the fastest-growing breed associations anywhere.” Active Member #4779 of the NACA is C3 Corrientes, Cliff and Rennee Standard, 301 Fallon County Road 604, Baker, MT 59313. They’ve transplanted happily on the Northern plains, having trekked there from the Roswell area of southeastern New Mexico about five years ago. Cliff was reared in the ranching business, and wanted to continue that lifestyle. He came to realize that, no matter the economy, people always seem to have plenty of money to spend on their hobbies, so he figured roping cattle would enjoy a steady market. That led him to the Corriente – small, trim cattle with sufficient bone and strength for easy action and endurance. It takes a lot of acres to run a cow where Cliff and Rennee came from, so, like the early trail herds, they looked north in search of more efficient range. While surfing the internet, they found a place they liked near Beach, North Dakota. “We leased it for a while,” Rennee recalls, “and Cliff worked for Mitchell in the oilfield near Baker. Then he found out the Roger Losing place was for sale there, and we bought it.” “We started putting on a summer team roping series at the fairgrounds in Baker this year,” Rennee says. “We have six roping’s, two each month, and it’s very popular. Our last two events will be in September, with the Finals taking place the 16th. We’re giving two trophy saddles, plus breast collars, buckles and other nice prizes for the series winners.” Cliff and Rennee get to ride and rope while breaking the new cattle in to the arena, then they mostly pull back and do the work while everyone else enjoys the roping competition. They’re OK with that, though, because it’s rewarding to use their cattle for the purpose they were bred for. The move from New Mexico to North Dakota and then Montana could’ve created culture shock, but Rennee says the opposite is true. “People here are nice... everybody here has been nice. We’ve moved around a lot, but now we both say ‘this is home.’” It’s also home to a nice herd of some 200 colorful Corriente cattle. Realizing cattle from New Mexico could have serious problems acclimating to Montana’s harsh winters, the Standard family decided to buy their seedstock in South Dakota, which has a similar climate. That has proven to be a wise move, since the C3 herd is booming. Calves start arriving on the C3 outfit in March, and Rennee is proud that they have no calving problems, even with the first-calf heifers. “The calves are sometimes not as coldweather hardy as some breeds, so we just watch them closely when we have severe weather,” she says. Standard’s save about 20 nice replacement heifers annually, and have a nice young bull they’ve raised. Their goal is to develop their own herd, to their specific preferences. Rennee is the computer tech, working the bugs out of the programs that take entries, do the drawing, and figure the payoffs for the six summer events. It’s gone well this year and they plan to continue it each summer, hoping for “a little larger crowd” annually. Cliff is happy with the efficiency of his Corriente mother cows, the way they’ve adapted to a more northern clime, the way they reach maturity at only around 800 pounds, thus not requiring so much feed; and the way they maintain good condition by eating “about anything.” They’re survivors of the centuries, cattle that have evolved to accept all kinds of hardships and prosper in spite of them. The NACA website is a great place to advertise their roping cattle, which are sold as yearlings. “That’s when their horns are out to their ears,” Rennee explains, “which is where the ropers want them.” The NACA website is a great place to advertise their roping cattle, which are sold as yearlings. “That’s when their horns are out to their ears,” Rennee explains, “which is where the ropers want them.” The temperament of the Corriente is workable for the entire family – which includes 15-year-old Kaylee; 5-year-old Sydney; and the only boy, Jacob, who’s one-and-a-half. It won’t be long ‘till Jacob is ridin’ in the box and noddin’ for cattle with his dad...but of course he’ll first have to endure the traditional “riteof-passage” of every team ropers’ kid – putting the cattle in the chute and opening the gate!

The relative risk provided by rodeo/event cattle is much greater than the risk from feeder cattle. Compared to feeder cattle, roping and bull dogging steers may remain in the population much longer, are more likely to be commingled with breeding beef cattle, may have multiple owners in a comparatively short time period and are frequently commingled with event/rodeo cattle of various owners at roping events and rodeos. In addition, current events indicate that there is a need for more tuberculosis surveillance in bucking bulls. This is clearly demonstrated by the number of exposed cattle traces related to the positive bucking bull. Most U.S. breeders of eventing cattle are cattle producers whose ranches are located in bovine TB Accredited Free states. These cattle producers follow management practices identical to those of other purebred and commercial beef producers and their cattle seldom commingle with Mexican origin cattle or dairy cattle. It should be recognized that these cattle pose a low risk of transmitting TB. Testing these cattle provides little if any benefit to the efforts to control and eradicate bovine TB from the U.S. It should also be recognized that a testing requirement for native cattle that have never been exposed to Mexican origin cattle or dairy cattle as a condition for interstate movement for cattle shows and for sale as breeding stock may discourage the development of an alternative, low risk source of eventing cattle. RESOLUTION: United State Animal Health Association (USAHA) urges the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) to implement a regulation requiring that all bucking bulls, roping steers and bulldogging steers be tested negative for tuberculosis within 12 months prior to any interstate movement. Except that the movement of animals out of the birth herd would be exempt from the TB test provided that an accredited veterinarian places a statement on the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection that the birth herd has had no exposure to Mexican cattle or dairy cattle. Furthermore, USAHA urges USDA APHIS to implement a regulation requiring that an official Certificate of Veterinary Inspection accompany the aforementioned cattle that required a test and the test date of the last negative tuberculosis test for each animal is indicated on the Certificate.
