Sheep Markets
Generally Take
Few Days Off
Several Texas sheep auctions were closed for the holidays, providing little market
information. Feeder lambs in
Fredericksburg were $3-5 lower
while Newell, S.D. was $2-4
higher. Slaughter lambs and
slaughter ewes were steady.
Lamb carcasses in the central part of the country were
steady to $1 lower with weights
over 85 pounds $5 lower. Weights
40-45 pounds brought $202-207,
average $206.02, 45-60 pounds
$197-207, averages $202.65204.88, 60-85 pounds $193203, averages $199.53-200.54,
and over 85 pounds $194.
Carcass cutout value lost
$3.73 for the week with Monday’s average $229.99. The eightrib rack was $512.83, trimmed
loins $444.07 and legs $219.04.
There were fewer than 1000
slaughter ewes exported to
Mexico through Texas ports
last week. The year to date volume is down 59 percent at
37,384 head.
Sheep and lamb slaughter
during the first half of the year
was down 5.8 percent at
1,344,000 head. The average
weight was up about four pounds,
consequently lamb and mutton
production is off only 1.8 percent at 95.3 million pounds.
No meat import data was
available this week. For the year
to date through May 15, lamb and
mutton imports were up three percent at 22,860 metric tons, or
around 50.3 million pounds.
In Fredericksburg 50-70
pound feeder lambs brought
$112-120 and 70-90 pounds
$112-115. Hamilton called 40-60
pound lambs $105-111, 60-80
pounds $101-110, 80-100 pounds
$100-109, and over 100 pounds
$90-113. Newell, S.D. feeder
lambs weighing 70-80 pounds
were $122-124.25 and 80-100
pounds $112.25-115.
Feeder lambs weighing 6075 pounds moved direct in
West Texas last week at $112115, 80-90 pounds $110-112.
Wyoming committed 65-70
pound ewe lambs for September
delivery at $115, and Nevada
lambs of 85-90 pounds were sold
for September and October delivery at $118. In Washington 108
pound lambs from the Spokane
pool brought $100.27.
Fredericksburg slaughter
lambs 85-120 pounds made $95105 and 50-75 pounds $105-126.
In St. Paul, Minn., newcrop lambs
weighing 115-140 pounds
brought $102-104, shorn lambs of
120-140 pounds $95-100.
Slaughter ewes in Fredericksburg were $37-47.50, and
St. Paul ewes made $30-40.

July 4th Holiday For Eating
Goat Meat, Not Marketing It
By Joe McClure
My nephew has developed
into an excellent goat barbecuer. His Fourth of July fare
was another display of delicious eating, and his 10-hour
cooking time produced some
of the finest and most tender
goat meat around.
I’m sure there were a lot
more goats consumed around
the country during the holiday
period, when people were
more interested in eating than
marketing the animals.
Most Texas markets were
closed for the holiday, and
market information is limited.
In Hamilton goats were called
steady a day after the holiday
and Fredericksburg was $3-5
higher the next day.
Slaughter under federal inspection the week ending June 19
included 11,684 head of goats.
No information on imported
meat was available from USDA.
They are probably also on a
holiday schedule.
On Monday, Hamilton
called 20-40 pound meat type
kids $106-116, 40-70 pounds
$108-115 and over 70 pounds
$100-104. Nannies were $4275 and billies $65-95.
In Fredericksburg on Tuesday, 25-45 pound kids brought
$95-112, 45-60 pounds $108-117
and 60-80 pounds $110-119.50.
Muttons 80-120 pounds made
$95-106, nannies 75-130 pounds
$55-70, a few lightweights $80,
and billies 100-225 pounds
$80-93, a few lights $96-114.
Panhandle for October delivery 240 No. 1 English and exotic cross steers to weigh 800
pounds at $105; in Oklahoma for
current delivery 210 No. 1½ crossbred steers weighing 700 at
$110.25 and 220 similar heifers
weighing 650 at $105.50.
USDA reports 4120 head of
feeder cattle selling direct off
Oklahoma range, all f.o.b. basis, including 90 medium and
large No. 1 heifers to weigh
550 pounds at $114 for November delivery; for October 160
similar steer calves to weigh 625
at $115 and 166 heifer mates to
weigh 600 at $109; for August
1000 steers to weigh 825 at $108
and 65 heifers to weigh 750 at
$109; for current delivery 200
steer calves weighing 525 at
$125.50, 360 steers weighing
825 at $111, and 200 heifers
Direct feeder cattle trade in
Colorado as reported by USDA
totaled 1170 head, all current,
at delivered prices, including
200 medium and large No. 1
steers weighing 550 pounds at
$125.50, 75 similar steers weighing 715 at $116, and 215 steers
weighing 750-775 at $112-114,
plus 200 heifers weighing 525

STARK CONTRASTS have always been a hallmark of Western landscapes, and have captivated newcomers since
the first incursions by iron-armored Spaniards. This Utah
vista near Zion National Park, with its pastoral foreground
and rugged background, could almost be two pictures.
Plains Feedlots And Packers
Out Of Sync By $8-9 On Price
Perhaps no one told the
packers that the much-ballyhooed “inconclusive” BSE
tests are now conclusive —
conclusively negative.
They used the uncertainty to
justify a $5-6 bid reduction last
week, but it didn’t buy them
any cattle at that price. This
week, with the dust cleared,
they’re still bandying the same
$84 bids around in the face of
$92-93 asking prices. As of presstime Wednesday, they weren’t
getting any better results.
The Texas Cattle Feeders
Association counted 82,051 head
on Panhandle area showlists. That
figure is up 19,508 head with the
virtually total carryover from last
week, but the cattle are still
green and the upstream pipelines are emptying. Captives
were up 3309 head at 43,890.
Elsewhere, a few pens of
cattle were reported selling direct
in Iowa at $140 in the beef, and
Midwest terminals paid mostly
$83 to $86, some to $87.
Where there was any trade
early this week, stocker and
feeder cattle prices ranged
steady to higher and in some
places much higher.
Jefferson, Mo. sold 1800
head and called 400-650 pound
steers $2-4 higher, similar heifers
steady to $3 higher; other
weights were mostly steady.
Florida’s usual four-auction
summary was reduced to two,
and prices were termed steady
on a totaled of 2595 head.
In Texas, Three Rivers was
steady on 669 head and Amarillo mostly steady on 627.
Crockett sold 1371 head but
quoted no trend for lack of a
report last week. With 1795
head on offer, Hallettsville
found steers and heifers $3-6
higher, instances $8 higher.
Oklahoma City was steady
on a thoroughly uncharacteristic 740 head. Best steer calves
brought $133-135, 500-525
pounds $129-132, and 635
pounds $120.50; medium and
large 1-2 875 pounds $107; medium and large No. 2 calves,
480 pounds $128.50, 600700 pounds $113-115, and
705 pound yearlings $120.

Choice gleanings from 45plus years of Unregistered
Bull.
A couple of weeks ago this
column took issue with the
USDA’s proposal that “pencil”
shrink be prohibited in country trading.
The editorial did not excite
any thunderous storm of reaction among our readers. However, a few articulate souls expressed themselves as either
strongly opposed to such unnecessary government interference in private business, or
as highly amused that such a
farfetched idea should even be
considered by the USDA.
Typical of the strong-opposing statements was a letter
from Bob Carlock of Phoenix:
“Like you, I thought this
was carrying government controls a little bit too far...”
“It has always amazed me
how some father image thinks
he has to protect the seller from
an unscrupulous buyer. Every
country buyer has had many
sad experiences of weighing very
full cattle at daylight when they
were supposed to have been in
a dry trap all night.”
“Anyway, both sides should
be able to protect themselves
without the help of the
USDA...”
Several other livestock buyers who’ve dealt with the same
growers year after year on the
basis of trust, albeit with an
ever-watchful eye toward the
true market for the stock they
were trading on, expressed
indignance that the USDA
should take the position that
livestock buyers in general are
skinflints bent on stealing
people’s property.
They pointed out that there
are already numerous statutes
against fraud and theft, which,
if enforced, should be ample
to protect either party to a livestock trade. And of course, the
obvious fact occurred to all: if
every livestock trade requires
that a government agent look
over the shoulder of each party
to the trade, and if the government agent is empowered to
tell both parties how the trade
shall be made, then this country would be a police state
rather than a democracy.
Some readers think the
USDA’s proposal, since its
wording compared country
trading with terminal market
trading, was inspired by strong
desire in certain quarters to
force more livestock through
central markets instead of letting growers and buyers trade
wherever they please.
Whatever the background of
the nonsensical “pencil
shrink” proposal, livestock
buyers needn’t think they are
alone in being suspected of
larcenous tendencies.
In opposing suspension of
federal lamb grading, L.
Blaine Liljenquist, vice-president of the Western States
Meat Packers Association,
said the end of federal grading would hurt small packers,
help big packers, and hurt
growers.
“Furthermore, the consuming public will consider the
abolishment of grading a fraud
engineered for the purpose of
fooling consumers,” he said in
a statement before a Congressional subcommittee. “A storm
of protest is bound to arise
when the public realizes what
is happening.”
This statement, with its use
of the word “fraud,” reported
California Livestock News,
made sheep industry leaders
mad.
They resented the implication that there was a remote
possibility or the slightest suspicion that lamb producers
might have any ulterior motive
in opposing federal lamb grading.
The harsh fact is, the lamb
industry is having a hard
enough time without its being
further hurt by quarrels and
accusations of fraud between
big and little packers, chain
stores, buyers and growers.
The whole livestock industry has its hands full trying to
produce and market its products efficiently enough to
make a reasonable profit. If it
has to spend time, money and
energy in wading through
swarms of USDA guardians or
Philadelphia lawyers cluttering up every trading site, then
it will be in a bad shape for
sure.
All in all, livestock marketing in the United States appears to be highly advanced.
As said before, if a man gets
hung or stung in a trade, he
already has means of redress.
For example, not too long
ago a San Angelo trader protested against the way the
other party in a livestock deal
had treated him. In lodging his
protest, he did not go to Washington. He accosted the other
party in a hotel lobby and told
him what had to be done to
straighten up the trade.
“Now, if you don’t want to
make the deal fair and square,”
the trader said, “you’ve got
your choice of two alternatives. Either we’ll go to the
courthouse or we’ll go to fist
city.”
The trade was completed
without passage of a single
new law or even an appeal to
the Packers & Stockyards Division. —(S.F. 06/09/59)
Texas VS Infections
Now Include Cattle
AUSTIN — This year’s outbreak of vesicular stomatitis
now has been confirmed, not
only in horses in Texas and New
Mexico, but also in two head of
cattle in Starr County, about 225
miles south of San Antonio.
The Texas Animal Health
Commission, the state’s livestock and poultry health regulatory agency, received notification of the positive laboratory results last week.
“The two infected cattle are
on separate quarantined premises in Starr County and are
the first confirmed cases in
cattle in the U.S. since the l997
VS outbreak involving New
Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and
Utah,” says Dr. Max Coats,
deputy director for the TAHC’s
Animal Health Programs. A l998
outbreak involved only horses.
“On one of the premises in
Starr County, one cow among
a handful of cattle tested positive for VS, and no other susceptible animals are on the

the owner has an infected cow
and horse, and there are about
30 other head of cattle and several horses that, at this point,
have no clinical signs of VS
and have tested negative for
the disease,” Coats adds.
As of June 30, VS infection
in 2004 has been detected on
a total of 15 premises in Texas
and New Mexico. Disease investigations continue. With the exception of two sites in Starr
County, all cases involve horses.

Across the hotel’s parking
lot, a Fort Worth steak house
runs an all-day, full-house operation. Tantalizing odors of
meat grilling and garlic searing in fat hang in the air. Each
trip upstairs takes a white-
knuckle hold on the banister to
keep from tearing across the lot
to stand in line for a rare steak.
The first news rack carrying
the Star Telegram on the way
up here from Mertzon proclaimed Fort Worth was now
larger than Boston or Washington DC. Broke my heart to
think of size being important
to this once cowtown.
Coming in on I-30, facing
outbound traffic three abreast
and five miles long, confirmed
the boast. All the advantages
of growth crawled along, allowing the stalled commuters
an opportunity to use the limitless hours on their cell
phones and stare at the motorist behind them.

“Serving The Stockmen's Paradise Since 1900”
MEMBER F.D.I.C.
First mistake in our trip was
my fault. I suggested we eat
downtown after the rush
ended, forgetting that downtown is the center of the tourist trade. Downtown was more
crowded than Boston and DC
together. More people were
waiting in line to eat at the
“Hot Spot Diner” than live in
Mertzon.
Once seated, we found that
the tables in the “Hot Spot”
fitted so close that chopsticks
would have worked better than
a knife and fork. Fellow sitting
to my right must have played
the bird man in a circus sideshow the way he kept flopping
his arms bent at the elbow, taking wide swings at mashed potatoes and roast beef.
Visitors are safe in downtown Fort Worth. Bicycle policemen keep order unknown
in other cities. Take a mighty
fast panhandler or pickpocket
to outsmart a bicycle patrolman. In contrast to motorcycles or patrol cars, a bicycle
cop bears the stealth of Spiderman.
Main attraction in the downtown bookstore was Mr.
Clinton’s new book. It’s hard
to lean long enough against a
shelf to scan a 957-page book
and avoid the 30 some-odd
buck tab. A blurb in the summer book tips said one thousand copies sold in three-quarters of an hour the first day.
From the way a writer up in
North Texas raved about the
book in the New York Times, it
sounded like school was going
to start early by popular demand to give students a chance
to read such a fantastic tome.
Was easy to spot the book’s
high point the way the spine
in the sample copy broke open
to the President’s dalliance in
office. The publisher bet $10
million on the book. Probably
allocated nine million-nine
hundred thousand of the advance to the Lewinsky story.
In the old days, downtown
Fort Worth
didn’t need
books or bicycle policemen. It
needed policemen
with a sense
of humor to
herd wild bellowing cowboys and
flamboyant range bosses out of
the streets and alleys. Took a
mighty rowdy hombre to disturb the peace of the stockyards or the downtown hotels.
One prominent San Angelo
family’s cowboy uncle kept
riding the caboose to Fort
Worth long after he quit work.
Under the spells of indisposition from beverage alcohol, he
might keep going St. Louis or
Kansas City. On one jag, he
made the Chicago yards.
His brother always hired the
same Pinkerton agent to go
find Old Uncle. Wasn’t hard to
guess his hiding place — a
stockyard. Hard part was finding which stockyard, especially the time the detective
HANCOCK — DRIFTWOOD — LEO
H
found him perched on a corral
fence looking at a pen of steers
in San Francisco.
Spotting the old courthouse,
once one of the markers to go
to the Fort Worth yards, I
thought if old Uncle was
around today, and there still
was a car like a caboose, he’d
pass on through Fort Worth,
seeing the stock and the yards
are gone.
Were a cowboy to run off
nowadays immersed in the
nether world of age, or under
a fog of alcohol, the only likely
spot to look in Fort Worth is
the petting pen out at the zoo.
Hard to imagine the genuine
article relating to dogie pinto
goats or a pot-bellied dairy
calf, much less understand a
sign urging visitors to wash
their hands after petting the
animals. (The sign should read
the reverse. Be a better idea for
the visitors to wash away the
popsicle sugar and popcorn
butter before petting the goats
and the calf.)
Adjacent the cultural district, there’s some flavor left in
show barns, the rodeo grounds, a
cowgirl museum, and a huge
collection of western art at the
Amon Carter Museum. But I
don’t think that was what was
drawing ol’ Unc to hit the rails.
In fact, I know it wasn’t. The
draw was the eternal wildness
racing through his blood of
hooves and horns, making him
want to relive the past even if
it meant hearing the cattle
bawling in pens far away from
home.

ANNUAL DEEP CREEK TRUE F-1 SALE
In Conjunction With Our Regular Sale
Thursday, July 15 @ Noon • San Saba
Stand up, America, raise
your right hand and repeat after me: “I do solemnly swear
that I will not buy a Mercedes
Benz, BMW, Toyota or
Nissan. If Japan won’t buy our
beef, I promise to park their
share of our car market. I’ll try
to become less dependent on
OPEC oil so we don’t further
enrich terrorist-producing
countries.
“I declare my independence
from the British royal family
and wish they’d keep their
dirty laundry and their sarcastic, pompous television stars to
themselves. We’ve already got
enough of our own.
“I promise not to buy a pair
of shoes made by a prisoner in
a Chinese sweatshop. I believe
that America has sold her
“sole” along with our shoe
market. Russia can keep their
caviar, and Colombia can keep
their cocaine. I demand that
Wal-Mart quit hiding under a
patriotic cloak of red, white
and blue when their stores are
crammed full of products
made elsewhere. I believe governments, including our own,
that are in bed with big business are raping us all and that
multinational conglomerates
should pay their fair share of
taxes. With Liberty and Justice
for All.”
Next holiday season I’m not
going to give a doll to a child
that was made in a country
where they don’t know the
meaning of Christmas or child
labor laws. If the toy companies want to sell it here ... let
them make it here.
I want my food produced by
U.S farmers and ranchers and
want it labeled as such. I will
boycott any restaurant that
sells a “good old American
burger” between two buns
made with wheat from Argentina, garnished with Mexican
tomatoes and filled with meat
from Australia. Chile can keep
their lemons, Germany their
industrial goods and France
their champagne, wine and
cheese. Ours is better, anyway.
And I hope those Saudi sheiks
choke on all their oil money.
On this point I’m sure we are
united, one nation indivisible.
If our “friends” want to engage us in a global food fight,
I demand the rules be the same
for all combatants. I won’t
erect barriers to trade or charge
high tariffs if the rest of the
world will do the same. I say
bye-bye to the dumping of
subsidized foreign goods and
suggest we all buy American.
It’s time to put the trade deficit back into the empty pockets of American workers and
small business owners.
I will not talk to anyone who
can barely speak English when
they answer a customer service
telephone in India. I will make
a point of asking where they
live, and if they are working
for an American company
looking for cheaper labor in
some foreign land, I vow to
“downsize” my purchases of
that company’s products in the
future.
I swear by my life and my
love of it that I will see America first before I spend my
money in some country that
hates us or killed our servicemen by the tens of thousands.
If I travel to Moscow for a vacation, it will be to the one in
Idaho. I will not have a foreign
counterfeit watch tell me what
time it is, or have a defective
Taiwanese microwave radiate
my foreign fish. Even if it was
caught in American waters.
The Great Danes can keep
their hams and their dogs. I
want my mutts “Made In
America.”
If I buy a suit, I don’t want
to have to hire an interpreter
to read the label. I don’t understand why boxer shorts
must have a label as to country of origin but not something
I put in my mouth to eat. I will
NOT vote for a politician who
is in the tailored pocket of textile importing multinationals.
I vow to do my part in “outsourcing” the next politician
who trades away our future
during global trade negotiations.
I vow to do all these things
realizing it could do more for
the poor working stiff in this
country than paying off a Congressmen.
The World Trade Organization, European Union and the
United Nations can go to Haiti
for all care. I pledge my allegiance to the American worker
and “to the republic for which
he stands.”

NCBA Rep Insists Government
Should Control Beef Trading
By David Bowser
CASPER, Wyo. — The legislative affairs director for the
National Cattlemen’s Beef Association says the livestock organization supports the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s
decision not to allow a small
Kansas packer to test for mad
cow disease.
Speaking at the Wyoming
Stock Grower’s Association
summer meeting here, NCBA’s
Jay Truitt said Creekstone
Farms should not be allowed
to voluntarily test for bovine
spongiform encephalopathy,
or BSE.
“NCBA supports USDA’s
decision,” Truitt said. “Absolutely.”
On April 8, USDA ruled that

gress. He’s the principal committee staff person for NCBA’s
tax and credit committee and
is director of the Family Business Estate Tax Coalition.
Truitt contended that Creekstone Farms wants to set itself
apart and make its products
unique at the expense of the
rest of the industry.
The USDA, however, is responsible for assuring food
safety.
“That’s their responsibility,”
he said. “That’s not something
we leave up to any packer,
anywhere.”
Truitt said NCBA doesn’t
want packers to determine
whether or not food is safe. He
said there are some 2048 different processors in the United
States.
That would lead to different
standards all over the board, he
insisted.
That is NCBA’s first consideration, Truitt added.
“The second part of it, and I
think this is just as important,
is whether or not we’re going
to allow the private sector to
establish some new standard
that this is better, safer or any-

questions. Truitt questioned
whether private sector beef can
restrain itself.
“This is no indictment against
Creekstone,” Truitt said, “but
do we question that any private
entity that is able to identify
that they have a potential problem would truly be willing to
release that information in a
way that was neutral and unbiased.”
The USDA, however, does
release such information.
“It’s important for you to
kind of think about that,” Truitt
said. “If you had a BSE cow
on your place and you knew
it, what would you do?
“It falls back on the responsibility of having a third party
that will make an honest and
truthful answer as quickly as it
possibly can, and I don’t think
that’s something that should be
done in the private sector.”
Truitt said Creekstone was
negotiating sales of their beef
with someone in Japan, but he
contended that international
sales must be between countries. Trying to negotiate a side
deal puts the rest of the cattle
industry at an economic disadvantage, he charged.
“That’s just wrong,” Truitt
said.
He also questions who will
eventually end up paying for
such testing, which is expected
to run about $18 per test.
“When was the last time you
knew a packer that has $18 that
they gave up?” Truitt asked.
He claimed producers will
end up paying for such tests.
“It’s not coming out of
Creekstone’s pocket at the end
of the day,” Truitt said. “I don’t
mean that in any way shape or
form as any disrespect for
Creekstone. I want them to be
successful.”

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.

thing else that none of the rest
of the industry is operating to
if that’s not really true,” Truitt
said. “Testing that product
doesn’t make it safer for the
consumer.”
He said he doesn’t think
there is a risk to consumers
from BSE today.
“We’ve had a triple firewall
in place in the United States for
years,” Truitt said. “It’s been
over a decade now that some
of those firewalls have been in
place.”
Truitt contended the BSE
prevention system that has developed over the past decade
is working.
“If we’re not preventing it
then, why would we as an industry allow anybody that’s in
our industry to take it and describe it as safe?” Truitt asked.
“We think it’s fine for you to
say it tastes better. That’s your
reputation that’s on the line. If
you can prove that it’s moist
and tender, go ahead and make
those kinds of claims.”
He indicated, however, that
to say one brand of beef is safe
is to imply that other U.S. beef
is not.
“The goal and responsibility of the federal government,”
Truitt said, “has been, should
be, must always be that they
establish that safety criteria.
They’ve got to provide for safe
beef.”
He said it’s USDA’s responsibility to ensure that producers are doing what they say
they are doing. It’s not enough
for producers or packers to say
their beef is safe. They have a
vested interest in selling their
product.
“There has to be some third
party in there,” Truitt insisted.
He said a disinterested party
must be involved in beef safety

For their part, Creekstone
said their support is growing.
Stewart said he believes his
customers are correct in asking for Creekstone to test its
cattle. He said they have built a
laboratory inside their plant and
have the equipment and trained
staff to perform the tests.
Creekstone has also sent
employees to France to study
the testing program there.
Stewart said they plan to use
the same rapid-result BSE test,
BioRad, which the French and
Japanese use to test all of their
cattle.
Firemen are an unusual
breed. They spend hours and
hours of boredom interspersed
with moments of sheer terror.
Those moments come mostly
on the freeway dodging traffic on the way to the fire.
Well, some years ago our
Wharton, Texas volunteers decided they also needed a
firehouse dog, a real honestto-goodness spotted Dalmatian. They shopped around and
finally settled on a dog that
was so spotted, it looked like
it had swallowed a bucket of
tar and broke out in gumdrops.
The department had a contest to name the mascot. The
winning name was Heidi, short
for “fire hydrant.”
Since it was a female dog,
some thought “Hose” would
be more appropriate, but
“Heidi” stuck. As a puppy, she
discharged her duties as expected. Right on the firehouse
Creekstone has had to layoff about 50 employees because
of the embargoes, Stewart
noted.
Truitt said NCBA isn’t trying to eliminate Creekstone.
“I’d be happy if Creekstone
sells the first 2000 loads of
beef into Japan,” he said. “It’s
a high-value business.”
He reiterated, however, that
USDA and other U.S. agencies
are responsible for trade.
Since the imposition of
embargoes on U.S. beef, he
claimed, USDA has worked out
many of the issues involved.
floor. Just practicing to put out
those “smaller fires.”
After her training period,
Heidi became the model dog,
riding in the seat up front to
every fire. Gentle and affectionate to everyone, it came as
quite a shock when a complaint was entered by a citizen
and the new city manager
called the fire chief to investigate. Heidi was alleged to have
bitten some people in the
neighborhood.
“Nonsense,” replied the
chief, who offered to bring
Heidi in the flesh to the city
council meeting to show how
well-mannered she was.
The city manager agreed,
and the council meeting drew
a full house of firemen, who
by now had developed a lowgrade negative attitude about
the manager. Perhaps sensing
this as soon as the new official
entered the room, gentle Heidi
dashed across the room snarling and snapping, singled out
and bit the city manager.
Ordered to “heel” by her
trainer, she did so, but on the
way back, she paused long
enough to also bite the fire
chief.
After this disgraceful conduct, one would think that
Heidi would have been banished from the firehouse for-
Direct Movement Of Fed Cattle
Almost Non-Existent Last Week
OKLAHOMA CITY —
(USDA)— Direct trading of
slaughter cattle in the Midwest
was light through Friday
morning and non-existent in
the South Plains. A few
dressed sales in the Midwest
were $2 lower.
Feedlots continued to offer
cattle at steady money in the
face of significantly lower
bids. Packers cut back kills in
hopes of driving beef prices
higher, but by Friday morning
cutouts were about 50 cents
lower for the week.
The Choice-Select price
spread also has narrowed and
now shows only about a $1.30
difference.
Boxed beef values on Friday
continued to slip and averaged
$140.29 down 40 cents from
the previous Friday.
Sales of slaughter cattle on
a national basis for negotiated
cash trades totaled a minimum
of 45,200 head through Friday
morning. The previous week’s
full count was fairly large at
316,150 head.

record billion bushels, up two
percent from USDA’s June 10
forecast of 10.425 billion
bushels and up 5.2 percent
from last year’s crop of 10.114
billion bushels.
After more than six years of
weak markets, price bids for
most major agricultural commodities have been steadily
improving for close to two
years. With this estimate of a
record corn crop, questionable
export demand and just a slight
improvement in domestic demand, primarily as a result of
increased ethanol use, the market outlook for corn appears
weak and will probably require a major weather shock to
stabilize and improve.
USDA’s June 10 supply/demand report pegged the corn
crop at 10.425 billion bushels,
up 3.5 percent from 10.114
billion bushels produced last
year. While that estimate appeared reasonable compared
to the total use estimate of 10.5
billion bushels, increasing the
production estimate by over
212 million bushels while
keeping demand flat will increase ending stocks to what
would appear a manageable
954 million bushels, just

acreage report June 30, it appears that the report was neutral to the market. All cotton
plantings for 2004 are expected to total 13.947 million
acres, up 3.5 percent from last
year but down 455,000 acres
from March’s planting report
of 14.402 million acres. Upland cotton producers planted
13.7 million acres, up three
percent from last year but
down 475,000 acres from
March’s planting intentions

The acreage planted to
American-Pima cotton is estimated at 247,000 acres, up 38
percent from a year ago. According to USDA’s report, upland growers decreased planted
acres from their spring intentions and seeded alternative
crops in 11 of the 17 cotton
producing states. The largest
declines in cotton acreage occurred in Arkansas, Louisiana
and Texas, where each was
down 100,000 acres from
March.

The 13.7 million upland cotton acreage times 92 percent
(the historical planted-to-harvest ratio) for harvest would
leave 12.6 million acres. Using USDA’s June 10 average
yield estimate of 665 pounds
per acre, production would
approximate 17.458 million
bales, down 142,000 bales
from USDA’s June production
estimate of 17.6 million bales.
With carry-in stocks of 3.6
million bales, supplies could
reach 21.1 million bales, down
10.9 percent from last season’s
supplies of 23.69 million
bales. Using USDA’s June 10
demand estimate of 17.3 million bales (5.8 domestic; 11.5
export), production would still
exceed demand by 200,000
bales but with lower supplies
would decrease ending stocks
to what would appear a manageable 3.76 million bales,
down 3.7 percent from
USDA’s June 10 ending stock
estimate of 3.9 million bales.
Dr. Carl G. Anderson, professor and Extension economist for cotton marketing, contends that the sluggish market
for the 2004/05 season is
linked to the strong production
recovery expected in export
nations. Also, the foreign crop
is projected to fall only eight
million bales short of foreign
consumption. That compares
to a shortfall of 16 million for
the 2003/04 crop and 20 million bales for the 2002/03
crop.
The market is focused toward improved cotton quality.
Anderson advises that producers need to strongly consider
keeping the higher quality cottons grouped to bargain for a
premium price. The cash price
should not be tied necessarily
to the Commodity Credit Corporation loan schedule of premiums and discounts. The
CCC loan price most likely
will not reflect the current cash
price for the improved fiber
qualities. The adjusted world
price has already dipped below
the 52-cent loan rate, indicating a large and possibly a
maximum counter-cyclical
payment for the 2004/05 crop.
The 2003/04 crop CCP could
be around three cents per
pound.

“The Travis County land
looked just like this 22 to 23
years ago,” Waldrip told listeners attending a recent field day
here. “We made a ranch out of
it, though, and we’re working
to make a ranch out of this
one.”
Waldrip implemented a
similar kind of plan on the
Upshur lands that he initiated
some 20 years ago on the
Travis County land. Welch
continues with the plan today.
Progress is being made but
they have a long way to go.
“What really needs to be
done and what our hunters
think needs to be done are two
different things,” Waldrip told
field day participants. “We
could really produce more
game and better hunting if they
weren’t objectionable to what
we wanted to do. But, because
our hunting income is so important, we’re working to
marry the two theories.”
County land. The plan is to
selectively clear areas, cutting
lanes and contouring using an
excavator.
The Spades made a deal
with man in the barbecue business. For $50 an hour the
Spade gets the brush cleared
and the contractor gets the
wood. The only problem,
Waldrip said, is that it takes a
year for the wood to cure. Until then it lies in the pasture.
Right now the contractor is
clearing all the fencelines. He
averages about an acre an
hour.
They’ve also done some
aerial spraying, but Welch says
that technique will be used less
in the future.
They’ve employed a rotational grazing system here
similar to one used on the other
divisions. Welch says it will
work well, not only for their
livestock operation, but also
for growing weeds and cover
for quail.

to grow back into what you
once had. Had they not been
able to keep those cows, I’d be
buying heifers now. It would
take three years to get a calf
on the ground, and by then
three of the best marketing
years in the new cycle would
already be gone.
“The other option is to buy
some of these $1000 bred
cows, so the fact that they
worked so hard to preserve the
cow herd is going to make me
look good.”
The family, Welch says, has
been patient through the
drouth.
“The one thing they’ve
asked is to make sure these
lease places make economic
sense. In other words, don’t
give too much just to hang on
to the cows. We have given up
two leases,” Welch continues,
“in part because they didn’t
make economic sense, but also
because we are finally getting
some rain.”
Today Spade Ranches LTD
encompasses some 300,000
acres on which they’re currently running 5400 cows.
When it rains, their country is
capable of carrying 7000

bulls, when stocked at normal
carrying capacity, is 10,000
head. Today that inventory is
about 8000 head.

return, or my job to tell them
they can do better to put their
money elsewhere.”
The board meets once a
year. At that time Welch presents his annual plan. Once it’s
approved, Welch has a guide
to follow. It’s not a plan, however, that ties his hands. He’s
free to implement that plan as
he sees fit throughout the year.
All day to day decisions are his
to make. The board isn’t looking over his shoulder at every
turn.
The last decade or so has
been tough on the family and
the ranch’s bottom line, in
large part because of a devastating drouth. Spade managers
have seen their share of
drouths, but until this most recent one, the ranch never borrowed money to operate on.
For the last seven to eight
years, most of their ranch
country was stocked well below carrying capacity.
Renderbrook was drastically
so. In 2002 there were 48 cows
on the entire 200 sections.
Thankfully, some timely rains
have begun to come. By the
fall of 2003 they were back up
to about 1000 animal units,
and 200 more are expected
there in the next few weeks.
“That’s still about a third of
what the ranch is capable of
carrying,” Welch notes, “but
it’s a start back.”
As has always been the case
with Spade country, the land
resource is their number one
priority. Waldrip and then assistant manager Jim McAdams
had to devise a plan to survive
the drouth.
“Jim and Dub scrambled
and worked to keep the cows,”
Welch notes. “They found
some lease country to carry the
cows. They didn’t want to lose
the genetics they’d worked so
hard to build. It had to make
economic sense, though.
By Colleen Schreiber
LUBBOCK — There are
some changes taking place at
Spade Ranches LTD. The next
generation of heirs is now at
the helm. For the most part, 84
year-old Frank Chappell and
Marion Chappell Bassham
have turned the ranch over to
their children.
The other change comes in
the management itself. John
Welch has officially replaced
William J. “Dub” Waldrip as
the new CEO and president of
the Spades.
Unlike Waldrip, who ran the
ranch for 35 years by basically
answering to one heir, Frank
Chappell, Welch must now
manage by committee, a board
made up of the six heirs of the
next generation.
Though Welch fully admits
managing by committee can be
more cumbersome and changes
tend to come slower, it’s a process he respects and one he
intends to abide by. He learned
patience and the art of dealing
with many different viewpoints during his tenure at
Cattle-Fax, the National Cattlemen’s Association and
while working with several
Native American tribes on reservation cattle operations.
“The Spade heirs have always been concerned about
the land, and I think the next
generation is no different,”
Welch says. “They are interested in preserving their equity
while improving the resource.
That tells me that they are less
concerned with pulling money
out of the operation than they
are with passing that resource
on to their own children.
“I think we can not only preserve their equity, but grow it
and still improve the resource,” Welch continues. “I
think they have every right to
expect a return on their equity.
So it’s my job to give them that

“In some of the alliances,
you’re committed to feed an
‘X’ number of head per year,”
he continues. “I can understand the need for commitment
and I’m not opposed to the
concept, but I have to look at
the dollars and cents.
“If I can buy the futures
market substantially below a
projected breakeven, I’m better off to just sell the cattle and
get long the futures market,”
Welch says.
“One of the reasons touted
for being in an alliance is to
reap profits from one’s superior genetics,” he continues.
“Most of the alliances are paying maybe $10 to $30 a head
in premiums. If I can buy a
breakeven that’s $80 a head
cheaper by selling the cattle
and buying the board, I’m better off to do that than count on
any possible premiums.”
This is a long way of saying
that Spade Ranches will pick
and choose when they feed
cattle based on marketing conditions. If Spade decides to sell
feeders, Welch will get a commitment from the buyer to get
the feedlot and carcass performance data so they can continue to monitor individual
breed performance.
“We haven’t fed any in 2004
and it’s been profitable,”
Welch notes. “So we left that
money on the table, but we’ve

bred cows. It was mainly a
marketing decision. I thought
cows were the thing to own at
this point. We bought them last
fall, so they weren’t quite as
high.”
Welch believes there is real
opportunity today in the cow
business because the cow
herd, calf crop and total inventory are back to levels of the
1950s and demand is heading
in a positive direction.
“There’s this thought that
we don’t need as many cows
because we produce more tonnage per cow. I see opportunity, though, because I believe
we’ve topped out on production per cow. Genetics allow
us to raise bigger calves, but
we only raise one calf per cow
and we’re getting all we can
out of that one calf. We fatten
it and slaughter it at about
1400 pounds. We can’t take
that much further. With total
inventory at 1950s levels and
human populations continuing to
rise, I see opportunity for sustained profitability for several
years. Make no mistake, though,
we will overproduce again.”
Another change that Welch
is investigating is a possible
change in the purebred operation. He believes the phenotype of the Spade cattle needs
a little tweaking.
“As an industry, I think
we’ve gone too far on frame
score and milk production,”
Welch comments. “I come
from country that gets very
little rain and needs winter
feed. You either buy more feed
or you sacrifice breed-up, because the cows aren’t getting
the nutrition they need.

“That’s why you raise goats
in the desert and hippos in the
jungle. A hippo is not a bad
thing, but it’s a bad thing in the
desert.”
Through the use of EPDs,
Welch believes he can get the
same kind of performance, the
same kind of grade and gain
in a more moderate-framed
animal.
“That’s my goal.”
Spade has long used a fourbreed rotational crossbreeding
system using the Hereford,
Angus, Simmental and Braunvieh breeds. Welch is doing
some reevaluating of the different breeds to make sure the
performance on the breeds is
what they think it is, and he’s
also doing some comparisons
between the different breeds
on how they breed up, weaning weights, how they feed,
how they sell, etc.
“The industry right now is
really focusing a lot on carcass
performance and carcass quality,” Welch notes. “Because of
that, the industry has shifted
away from crossbreeding to
more single breed selectiontype systems. That’s because
some single breeds grade better than others.
“You may get a premium for
those cattle that grade better,
but there’s no denying that
hybrid vigor gives you a better weaning weight, gives you
better milk production, longevity is better, and that crossbred cow breeds back easier
than a straightbred cow.
“The premium in the packing plant is easy to quantify,”
he continues. “Production
traits are much harder to quantify in dollars and cents, but
I’ve seen studies that have
shown that 75 percent of the
profit or loss in the cow-calf

not in the carcass equation.
The carcass traits only account
for about 10 percent. I don’t
think we should pursue that
one thing single-mindedly just
because it’s easier to quantify.”
Another tweak is that the
Spade is now artificially
breeding all their replacement
heifers at their Panhandle
Spade division. In the past, the
first-calf heifers have been
bred to Jersey bulls. Those
calves were early weaned and
sold as roping steers. Early
weaning was one of the management tools Waldrip implemented many years ago. Doing so improved heifer breedback and gave young heifers a
better chance at going into the
cow herd.
Two years ago, Spade management decided to AI their
heifers to lightweight Angus
bulls.
“When I came on board, I
thought it might be better not
to sell them as roping calves,”
Welch says. “I decided to keep
them on the cows until the fall.
I figured we would give up
some breed-back, but I reasoned I could make up for
some of that loss by selling
them for a better price. Roping calves in the past averaged
about $200 a head. I sold these
Angus-sired calves for just
over $500 apiece.
“Surprisingly, the heifers
bred up at 87 percent, which
was close to what they would

do under early weaning conditions.”
This year Welch is conducting an experiment. He’ll early
wean some calves and wean
the others in the fall. He’s
keeping records on AI costs,
costs of any loss in breed-up,
and he’ll compare that to any
increase in revenue he receives
from selling the calves at normal weaning versus those that
are early weaned.
“AI is expensive and it is an
experiment,” Welch says. “I
have to justify things when I
change them, and have to justify it economically.”
Another change Welch has
is a slightly later calving season.
“We may sacrifice a little on
weaning weights, but I think
it’s important that a cow’s
maximum nutritional requirements coincide with maximum
grass production,” he explains.
“So rather than have our cows
calve in December and nurse
a calf in January and February,
we’re calving in February and
they’re nursing that calf after
green-up.”
Finally, Welch intends to
tweak some on the ranch’s
horse program. He has purchased a son of Little Peppy
that he is breeding to the
Spade’s Doc Bar-bred mares.
All in all, the new president
and CEO is optimistic about
the future of Spade Ranches
and the industry in general.
One of the most exciting aspects he sees has to do with all
the new technology that has
come or is about to become
available.
“With all this new technology, I think we’ll begin to see
a real divergence in the marketplace,” Welch remarks.
“There will always be those
generic cattle, cattle that we
don’t know where they came
from, cattle that we don’t
know the health program on,
cattle we don’t know the genetics on. But, for those cattle
that you can provide all that
kind of detailed information, I
think you will see a noticeable
premium in price.
“It does have to make economic sense to be on that cutting edge,” Welch notes. “A lot
of this new technology, however, isn’t so much about expenditure of dollars as it is
about management expertise

extra dollars, and in the long
run it will hopefully provide
more money for our product.”
Some of the specific challenges facing the industry, he
believes, have to do with operating in a global economy.
“U.S. producers are going to
face stiff competition from foreign beef which can be produced much cheaper,” Welch
insists.
The industry, he says, needs
to develop measurements to
determine optimum production levels versus maximum
production levels.
“The industry has always
pursued single traits to the detriment of overall profitability,”
he reiterates. “In the 40s, the
pursuit of ‘baby beef’ led to
short, fat, infertile cows. In the
80s the pursuit of high-growth
cattle led to tall, thin, infertile
cows. We need to remember
that the number of calves produced per cow exposed is the
biggest determiner of profitability.”
Welch is the first to admit
that politics aren’t his cup of
tea. He prefers instead to stay
home and tend to ranch business and let the associations to

which they pay a membership
do their job.
“Thank goodness we have
capable people who enjoy
working in the political arena.
They deserve our support.
“I don’t spend too much
time deciding what’s good and
bad about the current state of
the industry,” he adds. “I’d
rather spend my time deciding
what the reality of the situation
is and how to adapt to it.”
As for the Spade itself,
change is inevitable in any
situation. As the number of
Spade heirs continues to increase, is division of the
Renderbrook holdings inevitable? It’s something that
Waldrip has thought about for
several years, and similar
thoughts now track through
Welch’s mind.
“At what point would further division put us at a disadvantage in terms of economies
of scale?” Welch wonders.
“And as land values appreciate far above productive values, how do you justify continuing in production as opposed to selling the property?”
Those are questions every
large family-owned ranch has
to face at some point. For the
time being, however, it’s not
up for question among the
Spade heirs.
Instead, Welch is focused on
the immediate future of the
ranch, and through his eyes
that future is a bright one. Just
over a year at the helm now,
Welch understands he’s barely
gotten his feet wet. Most every day brings with it a new
challenge, but he looks on
those challenges as new opportunities. And it’s these new
opportunities that will shape
the future of the Spades, hopefully long into the new century.

may be specific industry issues.
The third reason, Magagna
says, is that they felt the litigation would benefit from a
little more horsepower.
“Certainly, the Attorney
General’s office has dedicated
resources to it,” Magagna says,
“but we felt that through the
use of a good private attorney,
we could help strengthen the
case on behalf of the state. We
felt this is important not just
to agriculture. It is important
to a much broader constituency, so we created what we’re
calling the Wolf Challenge Initiative and invited a wide variety of organizations with
whom we may not always
agree on everything but with
whom we share a common
purpose in terms of the need
to get management of the
wolves to the State of Wyoming but on terms that work
for our interest.
“We’ve established a structure
that says any organization that
comes to the table with a commitment to raise $5000 would
be a partner in this. As a partner, they would have a seat on
the steering committee that
will make the decisions. It’s
not Stock Growers or Wool
Growers driving this. We simply initiated it, and we’ll have
people on the steering committee like everyone else.”
Magagna says the steering
committee will guide the process and make the decisions.
“The one preliminary decision that was made,” Magagna
says, “was to intervene in this
litigation, but we kept the door
open, so should we think there
are issues that maybe cannot

tory animal groups that have
come on board with us,” Magagna says. “The Wyoming
Outfitters and Guides Association as well as at least one
county-based outfitter association have all come on board.
In a very short time of about
30 to 40 days, it’s been very
successful in terms of getting
partners in this.”
The Wyoming Stock Growers Association will be participating through their ongoing legal fund, but they will also start a
specific fund drive shortly.
“Our membership can support this with contributions
that are earmarked for the Wolf
Challenge Initiative,” Magagna says.
The immediate purpose of
the lawsuit is to force the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service to
accept the Wyoming management plan.
“We believe that their decision to reject it was arbitrary
and capricious,” Magagna
says. “It wasn’t based on science because their own wolf
experts said it was adequate.”
Magagna contends the
agency’s decision was based
on what Fish and Wildlife Service officials said was litigation risk analysis.
“That means, ‘Gosh, if we
accept this, we’re going to get
sued,’” Magagna says.
The Fish and Wildlife Service also feared that the Wyoming plan was too bold when
it came to protecting the predator status of the wolf in the
state. The federal agency was
afraid that if they accepted the
Wyoming plan, then Idaho and
Montana would come back
and say they wanted to change
their plans to match Wyoming’s.
“We have had some indications from those states that
they kind of regret in some
ways that they didn’t follow
Wyoming’s lead,” Magagna
notes.

be specifically brought in under intervention, we can file
our own litigation and request
the court consolidate our issues with the state issues to
broaden the case.”
He says there may be a need
to maintain a coalition like this
on a longer-term basis.
“I, at least, firmly believe
that the end of this litigation is
not the end of wolf litigation,”
Magagna explains. “This is
just one step in a multi-step
process. There will be lawsuits
brought by the other side to
keep the wolf from being delisted.”
Magagna thinks the association will be in it for the long
haul.
“The immediate role and the
commitment of the organizations that come on board is for
involvement in this particular
litigation and any immediately
related effort,” he says. “I’m
really thrilled with the response we’ve had to date.”
About 15 organizations
have joined together on this
initiative.
“All the ag organizations in
the state are on board,”
Magagna says. “We’ve got the
County Commissioners Association and at least three,
maybe four, individual county
commissions that are each
coming in as partners.”
Magagna says one of their
biggest allies is a new sportsmen’s group in Wyoming,
Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife.
Bob Wharf, the executive
director of the sportsmen’s
group, says his organization’s
concern deals primarily with
access to land for hunting, but
as a part of that they will stand
by the livestock industry in its
battle against predators like the
wolf. Wolves, he noted, can
devastate game animals as
well as livestock.

The association’s executive
vice president, however, says
that doesn’t mean the Stock
Growers are in love with Wyoming’s plan.
“Quite frankly, we’re disappointed in it,” Magagna says.
He feels that in some key
ways it doesn’t fully mirror the
legislation the association
worked so hard to get through
last year.
“But it’s the ball that’s in the
game,” Magagna concedes. “If
we want to move toward getting away from federal control
on this issue, we need to play
with that ball at this point in
time. Maybe down the road in
the future, when we’re under
state management, we’ll have
a little more flexibility, and we
can put a new ball in the game
or inflate the ball a little more.”
Since Montana’s plan was
accepted by the Fish and Wildlife Service, that state has been
given a freer hand in managing wolves.
It appears that the federal
government has changed the
ballgame.
Montanans were not supposed to be able to kill wolves
without permits, but now
ranchers are allowed to kill
wolves if there is a problem.
Montana seems to have wider
latitude now.
“There was something in
their environmental impact
statement,” Magagna says,
“that said once the state plan
has been accepted, they could
give them some limited control without waiting for an actual delisting.”
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, Magagna says, has
proposed to do that in Idaho
and Montana.
“They’re working toward
it,” he says. “I think the rule to
do that has not been finalized
yet.”
Magagna considers it a
mixed blessing.
“Ranchers in the state are
going to be able to do some
control on private land,” Magagna says. “On public land,
it’s not going to be much different than Wyoming, as I understand it.”
The Fish and Wildlife Service is going to try to target a
little more assistance to Idaho
and Montana, Magagna says,
but those states are also going
to pick up additional costs.
Magagna believes the states
will shoulder a significantly
greater financial burden without the federal dollars to go
with it.
“It sounds good,” Magagna
says, “and I don’t mean to demean it, but I think it’s kind of
a mixed blessing at this point
in time.”
Magagna says ranchers are
in a difficult position.
“I think we’re caught between a rock and a hard spot
right now,” Magagna says. “If
we change the plan to in my
opinion better mirror the legislation — some would argue
with me that it does mirror it
— then we lose our ability to
sue the Fish and Wildlife Service because the plan that their
biologists reviewed and said
was adequate is this plan. If we
change it significantly, then
we’ve got to start that process
over, and I would predict that
the Fish and Wildlife Service
would make darn sure that the
next group of wolf biologists
at that point wouldn’t endorse
our plan.”
Magagna says that once the
state gains control, minor adjustments can be made through
the rulemaking process.
“As I understand the process,” Magagna says, “the
Game and Fish Commission
will still have to adopt rules
under which to manage the
wolf. The plan does not constitute formal rulemaking. It’s
just a plan.
“When they do those rules,
then I think we all want to be
at the table and do everything
we can without deviating too
far from the plan and upsetting
that apple cart, but move a little
closer in the direction to the
extent we can of reflecting not
only the letter of the law, but
the spirit of the law.
“That’s the scenario that I
would foresee, but we’re walking that tightrope right now.”
Magagna says he doesn’t
think the plan is dramatically
different from the law, but he
says it’s different in a couple
of key aspects.

Growers Association, says he
thinks the rules that apply to
private land should apply to
state land.
“From the federal perspective,” Magagna says, “they’re
private; they’re privately held
by the State of Wyoming.
They’re not public lands. I
haven’t heard that argument
made, though, and I don’t
know what kind of answer
we’d get. That’s something we
need to take up with the state
land office.”
Linda Fleming, a commissioner on the Wyoming Game
and Fish board, says the state’s
plan was approved by the
Game and Fish Commission,
but it was not unanimously
approved.
“It was approved by the Attorney General that it does
meet the statute,” Fleming
says. “I think that was probably an underlying factor in
the voting of some of the members on the commission.”
Fleming, also a Carbon Coun-
July 8, 2004
ty commissioner, says that
while the state’s county commissioners association rarely
agrees on anything, joining the
Wolf Challenge Initiative was
a unanimous vote.
“There is a strong statewide
interest in keeping that predator portion,” Fleming says. As
a Game and Fish commissioner, she doesn’t think the
Wyoming Game and Fish Department can afford not to have
the wolf listed as a predator
because of funding problems.
This is the first time the state
legislature has had to appropriate money to the Game and
Fish Department, primarily
because of the wolf problems.
The wolves now roaming the
state have cut down on the
number of hunting licenses the
department can sell, and that
drop in revenue has impacted
the Game and Fish budget.

Yellowstone. Now there are
between 600 and 700, and they
are multiplying while the litigation is continuing.
The wolves are now coming
into populated areas in Wyoming and have reportedly
moved south of Interstate 80
in Colorado.
Magagna says this fall may
be the best chance to amend
the Endangered Species Act.
“Congressman Richard
Pombo from California, who
is the chairman of the House
Resources Committee that has
jurisdiction, when he was
elected to the chairmanship
two years ago made that his
goal,” Magagna says. “He said
he’s going to focus on amending that.”
Pombo conducted a field
hearing on the Endangered
Species Act in Carlsbad, N.M.,
in June.

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.
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.

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 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.

Two “Inconclusive” BSE Tests
Both End Up As False Alarms
WASHINGTON — USDA
announced last week that both
of the cattle it was testing for
bovine spongiform encephalopathy turned out negative, an
outcome broadly anticipated
within the industry. The two
unidentified animals had produced “inconclusive” results
in screening tests initiated by
USDA last month.
Uncertainty between the announcements of the screening
tests and the later follow-ups
put cattle markets through
more than a week of turmoil.
Critics of USDA’s policy of
announcing “inconclusive”
screening results estimated
that the two false-positives,
harbingers of dozens or even
hundreds potentially to come,
cost cattlemen as much as $22
million by driving the market
downward. Those inclined to
believe that USDA has become a captive of the packing
industry were up in arms over
the incident.

One Cow Reduces First-Quarter
Beef Exports To Japan by 98.1%
WASHINGTON — (USDA)
— During the first three
months of 2004 the U.S. exported 1276 metric tons of
beef to Japan, 98.1 percent less
than for the same period a year
ago, according to a report by
Japan’s Agriculture and Livestock Industries Corp. and released by Japan’s Ministry of
Finance.
Total beef imports during
the first quarter were 90,588
MT, down 38.4 percent. Australian exports to Japan were
up 14.9 percent at 81,444 MT
and New Zealand exports were
up 122.4 percent at 7668 MT.
Japan’s chilled beef imports
the first quarter were down
39.1 percent at 39,936 MT, all
from Australia. Frozen beef
imports were down 38 percent
at 50,418 MT, 1276 from the
U.S. and 42,227 from Australia.
The JALI figures show that
Australia was Japan’s main
source of beef with 89.9 percent of the total imports. This
was due to the ban that remained in place on beef from
the U.S. because of the single
case of BSE found in December 2003.

American beef producer the
“Judas kiss” while holding the
swab.
We are all coming to realize
we have the best government
money can buy and the packers have enormous sums of
money to buy political positions and enhance state and
federal lawmakers’ pocketbooks and purses. (In Virginia
in 1995 a packer invested
$100,000 in a governor’s race
as the packer was being investigated for violating state pollution limits 24 times. A bill
was introduced to require large
donors to disclose their dealings with state agencies, and
they named the bill after the
packer.) The Internet will
show the tens of thousands of
dollars given to some of the
lawmakers (over the table).
While the USDA was turning a blind eye to packer favorites and not enforcing the
Packers and Stockyards Act, a
small group of brave men
braved endured years of court
delays, culminating in the jury
seeing the wrong and trying to
right it by having Tyson pay a
billion or so dollars. Weeks
later the judge set aside the
damages, then another few
weeks threw the whole case
out.
Then, as if packers’ and
USDA’s romance is not blatant
enough, USDA announces it is
going to open up the Canadian
border to beef not conforming
to existing BSE rules. A trueto-the-American-beef-industry association (that I am not a
member of) gets a judge to
block the USDA order, protecting American consumers
and producers. And all the
while the cannon swabbers are
howling “foul play,” I guess
because the packers had not
bought that judge yet. Now the

certainly evoked the wrath of
the cannon-swabbers, who are
demanding that their fellow
swabbers unite and denounce
the other association for doing
right.
Can justice be had in 2004?
Do we have to buy it now?
Where do we buy justice?
What does it cost?
James Stotts
Llano, Texas
Business is booming. Even
farming and ranching prices
are up, and it is raining in some
places. One reason that business is increasing is that more
business is being done using
computers and the Internet. It
allows more competition,
which results in better prices
and thus more business.
Looking at the advertisements in this newspaper leaves
me with the impression that
agribusiness hasn’t gotten the
word yet. You need to advertise in this paper, but you also
need a computer on the other
end of your phone to take orders and to run your business.
Way too many of the ads only
have a phone number to call
to take orders.
Personally, I hate the phone.
Why? Because it always interrupts what I am doing. I don’t
want calls during my nap time
(one of the advantages of being retired). I don’t want calls
during meal times or after I
have gone to bed. I saw one
ad in the paper that said don’t
call between certain hours. I
understand that, but it limits
who can buy what you are selling.
That is why I much prefer
to use the computer and e-mail
for taking orders, making
deals, ordering supplies and
doing business. Let me suggest
that your ad in the paper include at least an e-mail address
for people who want to order
from you at midnight. It would
be a lot better if they could go
to your website and see what
you have for sale. And if your
website lets them order, you
need to accept their credit
cards even at two o’clock in
the morning. You can ship the
next day, when you are awake.
You can leave your phone
number on the ad if you are really lonely and need to talk to
someone, but I think you will
sell more if you do business
with your computer the 21st
century way. You can e-mail
me at [email protected].

Thirty minutes later at the

Dear Sir,
In the United States it is
criminal to holler “fire!” in a
crowded public facility. It
should be equally unlawful to
cry “BSE!” on the floor of the
Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
But, that’s exactly what the U. S.
Department of Agriculture has
done to American cattlemen
during the past week.
The agency hollered “fire!”
by announcing to the world
that the agency had two initial
positive BSE tests, both of
which were subsequently
negative. In the aftermath of
the first initial positive, the futures market immediately became an unpredictable firecracker, dropping the limit,
recovering a bit and then dropping the limit again.
Packers backed out of the
cash cattle market, or they attempted to low-ball the markets after the first announcement, drawing on their captive
supplies to stay close to the
knife until the situation shakes
out. Retailers are being equally
cautious.

The USDA has said the markets will recover, which they
will; the show must go on. But
individuals may not. Our markets have been trampled and
people hurt. One large cattle
feeder last week reported a $1
million injury.
USDA’s testing program has
done nothing to serve the public interest. Instead, it has
placed a dark cloud over the
market, putting in place a definite downward bias while market fundamentals remain the
same as they were prior to the
first announcement. It appears
that USDA will NOT allow the
grassroots cattle producer to
prosper — even when the
mechanisms are in place to do
so.
USDA claims its announcement of initial positives is part
of a new effort toward transparency. True transparency
would mean the agency would
reveal not only the marketdamaging information but also
possibly mitigating information such as the origin of the
animal in question, its location,
breed and other information.
None of that, however, has
been disclosed, at least not to
the general public. Recent
media reports would indicate
that USDA is leaking pertinent
information to certain industry
participants.
The only effect USDA’s
testing program is having is
adverse market reaction and
volatility, which benefits only
the margin operators (retailers,
packers and processors).
Meanwhile, equity is hemorrhaging out of the cow-calf
and feeding sector at a rapid
pace, feeder futures suffering
the most at a $7 loss.
USDA refuses to review its
policy. It’s time for Congress
and perhaps the courts to step
into the mess and call a halt to
these market-damaging premature announcements.
