SPECTACULAR DORSET EVENTS

CALIFORNIA DORSET BREEDERS
WELCOMES 2009 NATIONAL DORSET AMERICAN JUNIOR SHOW IN OHIO
The 16th Annual All-American Junior Show was held at
SALE
the Darke County Fairgrounds in Greenville, OH from July 3rd-5th
and WOW!! Is the only way to describe the event. 2009 was the
largest show to date with 345 exhibitors entering 1916 head!
There were 23 states represented with 13 breeds of sheep participating in the show.
The Dorset shows, both Polled and Horned, had record
numbers and excellent quality! The Polled Dorset Show had 246
head entered and the Horned Show had 66 head. Both of these
numbers are higher than the National Junior Shows in Louisville
last year. This summer venue allows many families to take off for a
long weekend and enjoy not only a sheep show but recreational
time as well because the All American features so many outside of
the show ring activities.
The Dorset exhibitors also enjoyed a BBQ lunch on
Saturday hosted by the National Junior

judged the Dorset
Wether Sires and
Dams and selected
the fall ewe lamb from
Univ. of Cal-Davis as
Champion and the
yearling from Griffith
Dorsets, Pavillion, WY
as Reserve Champion.
Ewephoric Dorsets
generously donated
awards to the best
headed dorsets. The Polled Dorset Best Headed Ewe was a
beautiful headed yearling ewe from Mona Lisa Pettersson,
Bothell, WA. The best Horned Dorset Ewe was another good
headed yearling ewe from Monte Forster, Tangent, OR.
On Thursday evening, the CDC held it’s Annual
Membership Meeting along with a social hour co-sponsored by
the California Dorset Breeders Association. A good time was had
by all and a lot on money was raised for the California Dorset
group as they had many items for auction from baked goods to
California wine. They also had gift “buckets” for each consignor
and special Dorset guests, filled with items from California.
Thank-you to all the breeders from the West Coast for all of their
hospitality!
WI and the best headed Horned Dorset went to longtime horned
breeders HU-Ranch-Fine Family, Roseburg,OR on their fall ram
lamb.
New J.R. Henderson Supreme Dorset Plaques were
ordered as the original trophies, honoring the longtime CDC
Dorset Secretary from 1923-1974, were retired after 20 years.
The two new plaques were awarded to the two Polled Dorset
Breeding Sheep from Riverwood Farms and Twin Oaks Dorsets.
The California Dorset Association started a new plaque in honor
of California Dorset Breeder Ken Ghiselin that goes to the
California Best Dorset Consignment. That honor went to Johnnie

won the Harlan Wagner Memorial Award for the best Dorset flock
as well as best Polled Dorset Consignor. Cassell Horned Dorsets
won the Best Horned Dorset Consignment and the Overall Best
Dorset Consignment Award.

prices as the Polled Dorset Breeding Sheep averaged $900.27,
the Horned Breeding Sheep averaged $765.79 and the Dorset
Friday was the day of the ram shows. The Polled
Champion Rams went to a couple of Ohio breeders. Twin Oaks
Dorsets, Belle Center, OH had Champion on thier January ram
lamb and McCarthy Dorsets, Sycamore, OH had Reserve
Champion on their Early Fall Ram Lamb entry. On the horned
side of things, Champion Ram was the Yearling Ram entry from
Cassell Horned Dorsets and Reserve Champion went to the Early

pair of yearling rams from Griffith Dorsets. The best headed

LETTER FROM CDC PRESIDENT
mike galleher
Greetings from Ohio
As I sit down to write this message on the last day of August, it is Morrow County fair time. We
are not showing this year for the first time in many years due to circumstances that did not allow enough
time for getting the sheep ready. Although I will miss not showing, it is not quite the same with my daughters grown up and out of 4-H and no grandchildren yet to take their place.
After the fair comes the beginning of the school year around here. Just as students prepare for the first day of school, we are
getting ready for the fall lambing season. Setting up the lambing pens, vaccinating the ewes for overeating, and bringing the first ewes
to lamb off pasture are a few of the preparations being made before the first lambs come.
Just as students anxiously await starting their new courses or meeting their new teachers, I am anxiously awaiting the arrival
of the offspring of our new stud rams. Did we choose rams that will improve our flock? Was the nutrition of the ewes adequate for
them to produce large and healthy lambs? Did we put the right ewes in with the right rams?
These questions will be answered as the lambs are born and as they grow. As most of you know improvements to your
flocks take time and effort. As we attempt to make changes to better our sheep, sometimes we think that we are going in the right
direction, but we actually may be taking a step backward in our breeding program.
Our association continues to face many challenges. As the board of directors attempts to make changes to improve the
group and the breed, some may work out and others may not. Sometimes we move too fast for some and too slow for others.
At the board of directors meeting held during the National Show and Sale at Reno in May, we discussed the results of the
survey sent out earlier in this year. As we went over the responses, we were disappointed at the low percentage of the breeders that
responded. The board felt the need for more of you to take part in this process. If you have not filled out a survey yet, we are giving
you until Louisville to respond. Make your opinions known.
I would to say a big thank you to Frank Tiffany for serving on the board the past three years. He has been a valuable part of
the board and will continue to be the webmaster for our website. The board looks forward to working with Hoop Peterson again as he
begins his second time on the board.
Good luck with fall lamb crop and I hope to see many of you at NAILE in November.
Mike Galleher, CDC President

special thanks goes to

we had for the Dorset
show including the
two ewe lamb donators Twin Oaks Dorsets and Mark Iughhun Family; special monetary donators Thomas Walsh, Titan Fan, Purple Ribbon Farms; all
the class sponsors and
breeders that bought raffle
tickets. Thanks to all of you
the Dorset breed was the
leader in support for their
show and exhibitors!!

at Michigan State University’s
Livestock Pavillon in East
Lansing, Michigan. Make

ANN STAVER
Ann Staver, 82, died Saturday
April 18, 2009 at her home in Palmyra, PA.
Born October 3, 1926 in Vestaburg, PA. a
coal mining village, she was the daughter
of the late John and Sophia Buganich,
Ukranian immigrants, who resided on a
farm in Berks County, PA.
Ann grew up on a dairy farm,
earned a degree in agronomy from Penn
State University and was a pioneer for
women in agriculture. When her children
reached school age, Ann returned to the
classroom as a science teacher at
Swatara Junior High School until her
retirement in 1993. Ann was a faithful
community member of East Hanover
Township, Dauphin County as a PTA,
school bard, and zoning board board
member, a swimming instructor, girl scout
leader and poll volunteer. She was an
active participant in the Pennsylvania agriculture community as a 4-H leader, member of the Lebanon County Farm Women,
Manada Nature Conservancy, and a
founding coordinator of the PA Sheep to
Shawl competition.
Following Ann’s marriage to Ken.
the Stavers started farming and raising a
family on their Dauphin County farm, and
14
combined their talents and energy into a
lifelong dedication to agriculture and the
sheep industry of Pennsylvania. She was
co-owner with Ken, of a purebred flock of
Polled Dorset Sheep, Ovine Alley Dorsets,
for 40 years. Ann served on the Continental Dorset Club Board of directors as the
Eastern Director from 1982-1987. Ann also
served on the search committee for a new

DORSET COMMERCIAL CONNECTION
Steps to Insure Lamb Quality
for the Consumer
By Melanie Barkley
PSU Extension Educator
Media coverage of food products finds many consumers
becoming skeptical about the quality of the foods that they are
eating. As a sheep producer, there are a number of steps you
can follow to insure that the consumer will receive a high quality
product and have an enjoyable eating experience. Here are some
considerations to help insure that a consumer enjoys eating lamb:
Identification: In order to keep accurate flock records, it
is important to have all your animals identified. This is very important for tracking any treated animals in your flock as well as keeping track of pedigrees for registered stock.
Injections and Antibiotics: Regardless of the route of
administration for injectable products, scar tissue will form at the
injection site. As a producer, your goal is to minimize the damage
from injections. When given a choice, select a subcutaneous
product (given under the skin) over an intramuscular product
(given in the muscle). Another important point is to always give
injections in the neck. There is a triangle that is formed from the
shoulder blade, the spine at the bottom of the neck and the cartilage at the top of the neck. All injections should be given in this
area, with not more than 6 to 8 cc given in one location. Choose
an appropriate length and gauge of needles used for injections.
For subcutaneous injections, one half inch in length and 18 or 20
gauge is sufficient. One inch needles can be used for intramuscular injections.
Follow dosage instructions carefully when treating any
animal and record withdrawal dates so that no medication
residues remain in the meat. A good rule of thumb is to record the
date, which animals were treated, what they were treated with,
the dosage and the withdrawal date. You may also want to
include product serial numbers in your records to follow up if a
Maintain up to date records of any medication products
given to livestock. Records should include date, product
used, who was treated, dosage and withdrawal date.
product does not work properly. Be sure to use products that are
approved for use in sheep unless under the direct supervision of
your local veterinarian. And, remember that feed additives may
only be fed to the species listed on the product label.
Animal Handling: Animal handling is important to prevent bruising on carcasses and to keep stress levels low for the
animal until they are harvested. Check all handling facilities and
trailers for any areas where an animal could become bruised or
cut.
Biosecurity: In order to provide a high quality product
for consumers, sheep producers should follow some basic biosecurity principles for keeping their flock healthy. Establish a biosecurity plan for your flock that includes a protocol for any visitors
on your farm. In addition, provide an isolation area for any animals returning to your farm, or arriving at your farm for the first
time from another farm.
Always give injections in the neck of an animal and choose
products given subcutaneously to minimize tissue damage.
Flock Management Plan: Develop a health management plan for your flock to keep the animals healthy and prevent
illness. This plan can include anything from routine health treatments to deworming schedules, mortality disposal and marketing.
Don’t forget to include biosecurity as part of the plan.
Housing and Facilities: Providing adequate fencing,
shelter, ventilation, feeder space, and watering systems will help
to keep animals healthy as well as growing rapidly. This area certainly provides economic benefits to producers as well as presents a positive image to the public.
Nutrition: Meeting nutrient requirements for animals will
promote healthy animals. Keep contaminants such as manure,
fuels, pesticides, and pet foods away from feed sources and
feeding areas. Also, secure grain sources to keep out critters:
rodents, raccoons, opossums, and cats. And, don’t forget to clean
the watering systems and feeders on a regular basis.
Record keeping: In addition to breeding and lambing
records, keep detailed records on medication treatments and
deworming. Keeping track of sheep with chronic problems can be
useful when selecting animals to cull from the flock.
All these items work together to insure that consumers
receive high quality lamb and lamb products. They also help to
reduce processing wastes which in turn can boost prices that
packers are willing to pay for lambs. Why not take a look at your
own operation and identify any areas where you could make
changes to improve the quality of lamb coming from your farm or
ranch.

CDC President Mike Galleher presented
the 2008 Polled Dorset Excellence Award
winners, Ken & Kathy Soder-K Bar K Farm
of Petersburg, PA with their perpetual
plaque for their prestigious accomplishment. Ken and Kathy are production
Dorset raisers and have participated in the
Pennsylvania Ram Test for several years
so the CDC felt it was very appropriate to
recognize them at this sale. Pictured to the

award. Congratulations!

2009 DORSET EWE
FUTURITY UPDATE
The Dorset Ewe Futurity Program
has been very active this year with a lot of
nominations and point records forms coming into the CDC office. Without your support this successful futurity program would
not be possible! A total of $5250 has been
raised to pay out to the participants of the
polled and horned ewe lamb divisions. On
the back cover of this newsletter is a list of
all the nominators! We were fortunate to
have five group nominators this year.
10:22 AM
Page 18
YOUTH NEWS
Riverwood Farms Superior Farms, Spilde
Brothers, Olivia Waggoner and the Cassell
Family were group nominators at the 2009
sales.
231 ewe lambs have been nominated this year, 192 polled ewe lambs and
39 horned dorsets. Of those, 84 have
been tattooed by their new junior owners
for participation in the futurity program. To
date the CDC office has received point
record forms from 48 of these junior owners. Don’t forget that you don’t have to
show at a regional junior show to be eligible for premiums but exhibitors are still
rewarded for attending regional shows as
they are awarded double points. These
point record forms need to be received
in the CDC office within 21 days of the
date of the show or they will not count.
They also need to be signed by show
management. Also, the deadline to
send in Regional Point Record forms
into the CDC Office is Nov. 9th. This
allows the office enough time to tabulate
final regional placing before Louisville.
Those regional points will carry over to
your Louisville junior show placing if you
are attending that show to compete for the
separate Louisville premiums.
The yearling ewe division has
had a record number of 9 yearlings nominated. Keep sending those point record
forms in on the yearling ewes. The yearling ewe futurity will also end at the
National Junior Dorset Show in Louisville
like the ewe lamb program.
All the regional polled and horned
ewe lamb winners will be announced and
recognized at the National Junior
Association Meeting on Saturday,
November 14th in Louisville. Immediately
after the junior shows on Sunday,
November 15th, the final national placings
will be announced in the polled ewe lamb,
horned ewe lamb and yearling ewe futurities. Awards will be given out along with
the breeder plaques.
The futurity points are updated on
a regular basis on the CDC website to
keep everyone appraised of point totals.
We do this so you can make sure that the
CDC office has received all your point
record forms. If you have any questions
please feel free to contact Deb Hopkins at
(401)647-4676.
