CCI JR Cherokee Classic (JR)

 Mom got a new camera just the other day, and We were giving it a test run. JR was a little hungry and not really into having his picture taken. JR is now 7 months old and growing everyday.

Well I guess I will have to clean him up and get some really good pictures of in in a few months when he is about a year old and the weather gets a little warmer.


The weather here has been mild in the day but very cold at night.

ASV Vilari Reg# 1409839; I call her Lady.

Lady is Bred to 5L Norsemanking and will calve in March I can't wait to see what hits the ground this year! I love calving season.

BJR JR 107 SON - CCI JR Cherokee Classic

This is my Cow ASV Vilari Reg# 1409839; I call her Lady. I got Lady as a six month old heifer and she was my 4-H breeding project. In this picture Lady is just about to give birth to her first Calf.

My Mom told me that I will always remember my first boyfriend, my first car, my first heifer and the first calf. I think that is most likely true about any first that happens in a persons life.

Because this is Lady first calf I set and waited for hours just in case Lady needed help; I am happy to say she did great; Lady said moo and her calf was there. I was lucky to be given straws to BJR JR 107 and  all I was hoping for was a healthy calf to hit the ground. 

On April 7 2012 Lady gave birth to bouncing baby boy (a healthy Bull calf)  I call him Junior (CCI JR Cherokee Classic Reg# 1524773).   

As with all babies all Junior did was eat,

Sleep, and poop!

But before to long he was up and checking out to new big world around him, and growing like a weed.

Here are just a few pictures; the days turned into weeks and the weeks to months.

June 2nd 2012 Lady and Juniors first show Reserve Champion Cow/Calf

Aug. 16th 2012 Grand Champion Cow/ Calf Pair - Junior was Grand Champion Bull

I will post new picture of Junior later. Check back and see how he has grown Junior is now almost 7 months and I need to take some new pictures Junior was weaned at 6months and weighed 640 pounds not bad for a 70 pound baby.

Tracking Beef’s Shrinking Footprint ( fromThe RAAA news letter)

A study published in this month’s Journal of Animal Science found that raising a pound of beef in the United States today uses significantly fewer natural resources, including land, water, feed and fuel than in the past. “The Environmental Impact of Beef Production in the United States: 1977 compared with 2007” (Journal of Animal Science, December 18, 2011) by Jude Capper, Ph.D., Washington State University, documents that each pound of beef raised in 2007 used 33 percent less land, 12 percent less water, 19 percent less feed and 9 percent less fossil fuel energy than equivalent beef production in 1977. Waste outputs were similarly reduced, shrinking the carbon footprint of beef by 16.3 percent in 30 years.

According to Capper’s research, improvements in the way cattle are raised and fed in the United States between 1977 and 2007 yielded 13 percent more total beef from 30 percent fewer animals. Raising more beef from fewer animals maximizes natural resources while providing essential nutrients for the human diet. As the population increases, it is crucial to continue the improvements demonstrated over the past 30 years to meet demand for nutrient-rich beef while reducing resource use and mitigating environmental impact. Turning back the clock on these advancements is not the solution to feeding a world population that recently reached 7 billion and will grow to 10 billion by the year 2050, concludes the author.

“As the number of mouths to feed increases and the quality of diets in many areas around the world improves, the demand for nutrient-rich protein like beef will increase,” says Capper. “At the same time, resources like land, water and fossil fuels will become increasingly scarce. These realities are like two trains speeding toward each other on the same track. If we listen to alarmists shouting at us to slow down, we could face a head-on collision of epic proportions. The only way to avoid this disaster is to accelerate the pace of progress.”

Capper attributes much of the reduction in beef’s environmental footprint to raising cattle on grass pasture before finishing them on an optimal balanced diet of grasses, grains and other forages in a feedyard. According to previous research conducted by Capper, each pound of grain-finished beef requires 45 percent less land, 76 percent less water and 49 percent less feed and at the same time generates 51 percent less manure and 42 percent fewer carbon emissions than grass-finished beef.

“As we work on solutions for the future it is important to understand how far the U.S. livestock industry has come in reducing its environmental footprint in the recent past and how this significant reduction was achieved,” says Capper. “The facts are in. Improved cattle diets in the feedyard and responsible use of science-based technologies to improve the ability of cattle to convert feed to pounds of beef, reduces the amount of land, water and fossil fuels it takes to raise beef. “

Capper says focusing resources to provide more nutrient rich foods like beef, which provides more than 10 percent of the daily recommended value of ten essential nutrients and vitamins for less than ten percent of daily calories (based on a 2,000 calorie per-day diet), is a critical success factor in meeting nutrition needs at home and abroad.

”Making the best use of resources like land, water and energy to raise nutrient-rich beef is the key to sustainability,” says Capper. “The result is delicious, healthful beef you can feel good about.”

This project was supported by the Beef Checkoff Program through a research grant from state beef councils in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Washington.

Red Angus plays a strong role in profitable ranching

Cattlemen across the nation are recognizing the role genetics play in increasing both quality and profitability of their cowherds. Breeders and industry professionals who attended the annual BrainTrust meeting in Denver, Colo., held during the National Western Stock Show, discussed the direction of the beef cattle industry and Red Angus’ impact on profitability.

Idaho JR. Beef Expo

Lady

 This was my first year attending the Idaho JR. Beef Expo in Twin Falls Idaho. I have only shown at County level and had no ideal what to expect. I show my heifer Lady and one of my steers Fabio. Attended a Judging Contest and a grooming clinic put on by  Sullivan's My heifer nor my steer placed; but the education more than paid for the entry fees.      (Education Is Power)

There was at least eight head of Red Angus at the Expo this year; the most in the barn in this area that I have seen, and who know maybe one of these day we will have A Red Angus Class; as for this year we had to show in the all other breeds class.

It was nice to see other Red Angus there. I wish I would have interview the young lady showing her cattle; but I guess hind sight is 20-20 I will make a point of that next time There is Red Angus in the barn. Just so you know they had some beautiful Heifers at the show.

Sorry Haun Family these are the only pictures I got.

I Have Been Giving This Some Thought

 I am not sure if the majority of the American Consumers really understands the impact that the loss of BLM ground for grazing will have on their personal and financial lives.

Once upon a time Buffalo roamed the plains. Sadly, this is no longer true; but when they did roam, they grazed and in the search for food, they also cut large paths that acted as firebreaks. The thundering herds of Buffalo did not harm the environment; the fact is that they worked the ground with their hoofs and grazed off vegetation that later in the summer would become a fire hazard.  The grazing off of this vegetation in now done by cattle and other livestock, their hoofs now work the ground and stimulate the new growth of vegetation that not only feeds the livestock the following spring but the wild game during the winter months.

Wildfires happen it is just part of nature; the fact is that the cattle graze off the fuel that feeds these wildfires, which in turn saves wildlife habitats, and the scenic beauty that we have all grown to expect.  Wildfires cost the American taxpayers millions of dollars per year to put them out. The loss of grazing permits means you as taxpayers will have to foot the bill for not only putting out the fire but also the lost trees, vegetation and habitats.

Ranchers and cattlemen are great environmentalist. We as American consumers need them and the wildlife needs them. After a wildfire, the cattle and livestock still need to be fed, watered and cared for; to meet the needs of their cattle, or livestock. These hard working souls (rancher, cattlemen) work to return the burnt out BLM ground to it natural state, clean water ways so that they run freely, and reseed vegetation usually at their own expense; this is done to not only to feed their livestock; but also to repair the wildlife habitats.To be a true Stewart (environmentalist) of the land you have to get your hands dirty.

Ranchers, Cowboys, Cattlemen live and breath their lifestyle; they are not on a vacation their way of life is hard work. The one perk that they do have is the beauty of the great outdoors, even though it comes with extremely hot summers and very cold winters. 

As I said; Buffalo once roamed; how sad it will be if generations to come say, once upon a time there were Cowboys/Cowgirls, Ranchers, and Cattlemen/Cattlewomen.

Remember that food we eat does not grow on the grocery store shelves.

Keep America strong let us eat what we grow; Look for the Country of Origin on the label.

 That’s my opinion and story and I am sticking to it.

Cattlemen, Ranchers, Farmers, Are the Backs on which This Country was Built

Cattlemen, Ranchers, Farmers are in my opinion a soft spoken, hard working, breed. Most spend their days from sun up to long after the sun goes down seven days a week twelve months a year working alone; So when they do speak I found that I better be listening.

Here lately these hard work souls have been being attacked by some who would like to but them out of business.  Here are a few videos you won't see on the Evening News. If they go out of business we as a Nation will most likely go hungry.
