I get so excited for fall! Always have! The weather is changing and the hol-idays are upon us! For many people, this means cooking, decorating, and shopping for presents. For those of us in this livestock world, this time of year also means a lot of other things. For junior livestock enthusiasts, the dreams of achieving champion honors start anew! Fall starts the year for buying your new projects. Cattle showmen are busy looking for that next great one. Lamb, hog, and goat showmen are planning which sales they want to attend or contacting breeders to reserve their next purchase. It is definitely a busy time of year!

I so enjoy going to the sales and seeing everyone out searching for that special consignment – the one that catches their eye, that they keep com-ing back to, the one they will pin their hopes and dreams on! One thing I always notice when I go to sales, is that most of the time it is a family affair. Dad and mom, brothers and sisters, enjoying their time with each other as they put their heads together to talk about their picks, their budget, their strategy to bid. This is what it is all about! And then fol-lowing the sale, I love watching the excited expressions the kids have on their faces as they load their new project in the trailer for the ride home. All those hopes and dreams, plans and goals, are just ready to grow and develop to fulfillment. Even those who bid and purchase through the internet at one of the many on-line sales now being held – you may not be there in person to have that experience, but how exciting it is to see your selection arrive at your door!

Something else I want to talk about is safety. I know we all say nothing will happen, we are careful, etc. etc. But there are lots of studies that tell us how many farm accidents happen each year. Animals, equipment, and surroundings are not always predictable. And getting in a hurry or not thinking through all the steps, can sometimes lead to unexpected predica-ments. Parents give their kids lots of responsibilities and trust them to get the jobs done, and adults pick up the slack or work overtime to get their projects done as well. Everyone has a lot to do so it is even more important to watch out for each other. Following some rules and commu-nicating with those around you will help a plan of safety to work. Keep your areas picked up so hazards are not lying in wait to trip or injure you or your animals. Be sure you know how to operate any tools or machinery you need to use and if you aren’t sure, ASK someone first. Be aware of your surroundings – are those fence boards you climb over secure? Are gates securely latched? Is the hay stacked tightly or is it loose and lean-ing? Plan your time so you don’t have to rush. The last two suggestions I have are really important! First, let someone know where you are or what you will be doing. A note on the fridge, a call or text “hey mom, its 3:00 and I am outside working on my animals,” takes only a minute and keeps others informed. And last, EVERYONE has a cell phone now – KEEP YOURS WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES!! If you get hurt or have a problem, you have a way to reach someone. If mom or dad needs you now, they have a way to contact you right away. When I say keep your cell phone with you, I mean WITH YOU! It won’t do you any good sitting in the truck or on a shelf in the barn if you can’t get to it to call for help! Don’t say “it won’t happen to you,” because no one can predict the future. Instead, plan and prepare to reduce the risk of accidents.

As the year comes to a close, the California Junior Livestock Associa-tion is again planning for its annual award banquet in February. I get so excited each year to see the amazing support and interest there is for this organization. From memberships to sanctioned shows to donors and sponsors of the award program, the CJLA continues strong! As always, our award program depends on the generosity of those who care about the CJLA and send in donations. We truly cannot do this without you! If you are interested in supporting the CJLA please contact me. Information is also on the CJLA website – www.cjlainfo.com. The website is set up for PayPal or forms can be printed and mailed or faxed in.

A couple of reminders – let us know if you move so you don’t miss an issue, continue to send in Hot Shots and fun photos, and if you have an event you would like posted, or something you want to see in the maga-zine, give us a call or send an email message! A subscription to Pacific Showcase makes a great Christmas gift or present any time of year too!

Happy Holidays!

LubriSynLVS paired with Max-Strum helps your livestock put on muscle mass quickly by maximizing feed efficiency while keeping

them sound for the show ring to bring you the all-natural competitive edge. You’ll see results of the Max-Pack in as little as 20 days.

how can the max-Pack work for your show stock?Max-Strum is concentrated whole bovine colostrum that is rich in four all-natural growth factors that provide for the total health of your show stock. Max-Strum is composed of five antibodies found naturally in colostrum that aid in the achievement of a highly elevated immune system. The immune support in Max-Strum starts in the gut and promotes the development and maintenance of gastrointestinal continuity, rejuvenates hair follicles, and promotes an overall healthy hair coat. In addition to promoting a healthy animal from the inside out, Max-Strum kicks show stock development into high gear by helping to build and tone muscle. Our concentrated, sterile, liquid colostrum helps to develop and rejuvenate muscle, respiratory, bone, and organ tissues to maxi-mize your feed efficiency and enhance show bloom. Max-Strum contains four all-natural growth factors to help fill out and build muscle mass.

Synovial fluid is broken down within the joint during the rapid development of show stock. LubriSynLVS protects and cushions the synovial fluid in joints, provides maximum protection and promotes smooth movement in the show ring. A daily dose of Lu-briSynLVS can provide maximum protection for the joints of show cattle, hogs, lambs, and goats. Since it’s introduction into the show industry in 2012, LubriSynLVS boasts dozens of high-grade wins, including the Champion Market Steer of the Ft. Worth Stock

Show and, more recently, the 2013 Grand Cham-pion and Reserve Grand Champion Market Steers at the State Fair of Texas.

LubriSynLVS and Max-Strum are developed and formulated by Dr. Steve Allday, a world-renowned veter-inarian who has cared for more than 30 elite Thoroughbred champions and five Kentucky Derby winners.

“This program has been uti-lized successfully on the racetrack for the past five years, and is currently used by the leading Thoroughbred trainer in America.” – Dr. Steve Allday

Together LubriSynLVS and Max-Strum are the best insurance you can buy with the genetics and nutrition that are available in the show market today. Maximize the genetic potential of your show stock with the all-natural Max-Pack. Call 855-299-7223 for more information or visit online at www.lubrisynlvs.com and www.max-strum.com.

“People feed, shelter and breed cattle and hogs, and in return the animals provide food and clothing. We must never abuse them, because that would break an ancient contract. We owe it to animals to give them decent living conditions and a painless death.” -Dr.Temple Grandin

As young caretakers of the creatures that provide all of us food, clothing and companionship, you hold an ancient contract as referenced by Dr. Temple Grandin. All responsible livestock producers provide a protected environment that includes human interaction, a nutritious food source, fresh water and daily care for these domesticated friends that share our earth. Because of your unique passion, 4-H, FFA and Grange animal projects tend to receive additional care, more attention and a unique place in the animal kingdom.

As a result of being a caretaker of livestock, you have learned responsibility, good work habits, compassion, the value of the dollar and an appreciation for healthy competition. These lessons will be used your entire life, regardless of the occupational path you may follow. This combination of passion for the proper care of food animals and the lessons learned by your experience have provided you with the tools to consider yourself a proud member of the original Animal Welfare community.

Since responsible men and women began domesticating farm animals more than 6,000 years ago, we have practiced the same basic methods you provide to ensure the humane treatment and welfare of your special project. Farmers and ranchers do this every day and as a result they are able to pass on their produc-tive land to the next generation. Common sense tells us if we care for the earth as well as its plants and animals, the land and its creatures will care for us. That is your ancient contract.

By now you are probably familiar with a small but very active segment of the population that would have you believe that all farmers and ranchers who own livestock practice inhumane methods of food animal production, and that no child should ever be exposed to these husbandry practices. Over the past 30 years they have been most often referred to as Animal Rights Activists. The reality is they have many titles and represent many groups with varied purposes. Unfortunately most have been brainwashed by their leadership. The influence and impact of their movement

is now mainstream and directly impacting our laws and chang-ing the advertising campaigns of major food related companies. Deceit and deception are common methods that have been used to paint a picture of cruelty and mistreatment.

We understand that all industries, including animal agriculture, have individuals who do not adhere to acceptable standards or practices. Persons or businesses that operate outside the norm will eventually fall by the wayside and quickly become outcasts. The vast majority of the ranching and farming community practice excellent stewardship. You, of course, as a responsible member of the Animal Welfare community, know the facts and are the best representatives to counterbalance these misguided folks.

As a livestock industry representative, you may end up in a conversation with an activist. If this happens it will probably take place at the county or state fair and could happen at a jackpot show. Most fairs are prepared to offer activists groups with a designated space at the fair so they can provide the public with information about their organization and its message. Since you represent the youth livestock industry, you should be prepared to have a positive discussion with someone who does not share your beliefs. Sometimes enthusiastic representatives may walk through the barn and approach 4-H or FFA members. The fol-lowing are some suggestions to help in your approach.

How will it happen? : First of all, you may never be approached by an activist. Most people attending the fair are families who enjoy and appreciate what you do. You should be prepared to speak with all guests at the fair. These activists are not Star Wars char-acters that are seen approaching from a great distance. These are people just like you and I who have a different opinion. If anyone approaches you and engages in a conversation by asking pointed questions about your animal, how you or farmers care for their animals, then you may get a little curious. Don’t be defensive. If they are an activist it will be obvious after a short time. Whether they are or not, you are acting as an ambassador for the fair and the industry.

Introduction: As always introduce yourself, your animal and where you are from. Ask them if they are enjoying the fair.

In any conversation try to remember the following:

Reflections

Over the past few months, there have been many spontaneous gatherings of agricultural communities. We are saying good-bye to good people and reflecting on the lives of those called home.

Humorist Garrison Keillor said the good side of a memorial is that a lot of good people say a lot of great things about you. The downside is that you usually miss it by about three days. Reflections that we shared on the lives of these people involved in agriculture, whether as an owner, employee, sup-plier, etc. illustrate that we all share a tremendous bond.

Unfortunately, it is not until we hear of one's passing or get to the service, that we look back and reflect on each person’s contribution. Now, you don’t see the names of members of our industry on the sides of buildings, two stories tall. We don’t build grand bridges or towers that attract tourists. We don’t see our names up in lights, never make the New York Times Best Seller list or compose Top Ten songs, but we are part of something much bigger than all that. What we accomplish when we farm is far greater than any other recognition that anyone else will ever receive.

Everyone involved in agriculture is helping to create the

greatest, most dramatic, admired and recognized masterpiece the world has ever known: The American Family Farm. Each generation paves the way for the next; and each generation gets a little bit better.

What motivates us, you ask? Why do we farm? Why, it’s the sunrise on a family dairy after the first milking is already in the tank; a half day's work done before the rest of the world has gotten started. It is watching a newborn calf takes those first wobbly steps, another life coming into the world that farmers protect and nurture.

It is watching bunches of grapes slowly change color on the vine, as if to remind us of the coming of another harvest. These grapes we tend, planted by previous generations, may well be tended by the generation following us. From row crops and orchards, ranches and vineyards, our masterpiece is there for the world to admire. The dividend that is paid is food, clothing, and shelter, forming the foundation on which all other great accomplishments are built.

So as we have been gathering of late, saying our final farewell to so many from our industry, we can go our separate ways af-ter a sad good bye, but also with a new determination to keep the masterpiece that they were part of alive and growing. For in the end, it is not for the money or fame that we farm, it’s because of the honor and pride that comes with the calling.

And I have a suggestion. The next time someone scoffs at the remark “we don’t farm for the money,” simply ask them if their parents had children “for the money.” For a moment, just a moment, they might get a small understanding of our perspec-tive.

(Sam Dolcini is an agriculture recruiter with Ag Jobs West. A rancher and agricultural speaker, he can be reached at [email protected])

I have been blessed with a wide range of friends who have some pretty amazing thoughts. When I come across something they have done that hit me I often ask if I can share with you in my column. Because they are so committed to youth and the betterment of self they always say, “Sure Celeste.” So this month we have some really good thoughts from my friend and fellow rancher, Sam Dolcini.

Stand by your Passion: You work hard daily with your project. You know the animal is healthy, happy and thrives from your care. If the animal becomes sick or injured, you are there to correct the problem. Your passion is evident every day and no one can change that. Tell folks what you do to provide a comfortable environment for these animals. When you express to others how much you care, they will appreci-ate the important service you provide for these livestock.

First Impressions make a difference: Make sure you, your animals and pen/stall space are orderly and clean. If your space at the fair is dirty or messy and your project animal has not been to the wash rack recently, then you have pro-vided a negative experience for the non- livestock person and your position in a conversation is compromised. You may be responsi-ble for leaving a good or bad impression to others by the condition of your stall/pen space without ever speaking to anyone.

They deserve respect: Just as with any citizen in our country, the First Amendment pro-vides the right to freedom of speech. As Americans we honor this right and respect the opinion of others. We may never agree with them, but we hope they, in turn, respect our beliefs. Understand that mutual respect will get you much further in a conversation than the alternative. Many times we even learn something new when we listen to others with a different point of view. Our hope is that we can persuade or more importantly provide the facts that may lead them to deviate from their original position. By the way, your mom told you to smile. There is a reason for that too.

Know the facts: Spend some time to prepare yourself for a conversation before you go to the fair by doing a little research about your project. The more knowledge you have, the more respect you will re-ceive. Do not come off as a “know it all” but do use the informa-tion to bridge the conversation. Basic information is enough, such as why we feed corn (as opposed to just hay), how these animals are harvested, what other products beyond meat they provide, why we use farrowing crates for sows, why most bulls are castrated, where we give a shot and why, why we worm sheep and goats, how the livestock industry regulates itself to ensure good welfare practices.

Be Yourself: Most important, be you, tell the truth, be enthusiastic and don’t hide what you believe is good for you, your family and your live-stock project. These animals thrive because of your good work. Your passion and positive approach will provide for a conver-sation that the other side will never forget and move them to reconsider their position.

Your animal project has provided you many valuable tools that may not be evident to you for years. The possible engagement with the general public is one of those important tools you will need all throughout your adult life.

Note: Should the guest become extremely aggressive or is distrib-uting negative pamphlets, flyers, leaflets, posters or other such promotional materials , make sure you notify the Fair Manage-ment as soon as possible. This type of promotional activity is only allowed within a commercial exhibit space or other location the fair has designated for pamphlet distribution.

TaleS From The real world By Brooke Bennett

I’ve always said it's better to be overdressed than underdressed; you never know who you are going to meet. Clothes make a strong visual statement about how you see yourself. If you dress confi-dently people will take notice.

Although it is cliché to say “never judge a book by its cover,” unfortunately it happens more than it should. Oftentimes people will make preconceived notions about someone just by seeing the way they dress.

Then what attire is considered appropriate? Well, it depends on where you are and what you are doing. Make sure to present yourself in a way that people will take you seriously since you never know who you will meet at these different functions you at-tend. Future advisors, professors or employers might be attending and you want to make sure to put the best foot forward. Here are a few wardrobe tips I have for events you might be attending:

livestock Shows:If you want to be perceived as a professional showman, you need to look the part. The more professional you appear (especially in showmanship) the more you stand out. The point of showmanship is to prove that you can present your animal to its best ability. It's not about showing yourself off. There is a difference.

Guys, hang up the Garth Brooks-inspired shirts (that style went out in the 90s) and instead opt for a clean pressed collared shirt, clean jeans, a nice belt and clean boots…no tennis shoes.

Ladies, in the famous words of Mr. Jim Williams, “Don’t dress like a hoochie mama.” There is a time and place for bling and the show ring is not the place to dress like a walking, talking disco ball.

I realize anyone who knows me might think that sounds hypo-critical since my closet could rival Taylor Swift when it comes to sequins. However, there are exceptions to every rule. Wearing a bling belt? Fine. A little sparkle on your necklace? Go for it. Full sequins top? Leave it at home for another time. A bling-y piece here and there is okay but head-to-toe bling is over the top. Re-member you want the judge to notice your animal, not be blinded by your bling.

So what is acceptable? Keep it simple with a nice conservative top or sweater (nothing too low cut), clean jeans, a nice belt and boots. You are in a professional setting; dress the part.

Banquet:Now’s the time to show your more formal side, but that doesn’t mean this is prom. Whether you are at a livestock show, FFA ban-quet, or school event, you want to show your peers your other side, not the side they see every day of you in your boots and jeans.

Guys, you have it easy! You can typically always get away with

nice pressed pants, collared shirt (tucked in), a belt and cleaned up shoes (not tennis shoes). Also, bring a nice jacket or blazer with you just in case the event is more formal than you antici-pated.

Ladies, show your class. You can never go wrong with a classic black dress or slacks and a nice top. Now is not the time to break out your flashiest party dress — save that for later. Also, if you choose to wear heels, practice walking in them first. Girls who can’t walk in heels look similar to a newborn calf trying walking for the first time…not attractive.

Now I stress watch the hemlines at events, especially if you will be sitting at some point. During a past event I worked, the young women involved in the livestock industry all wore their best dresses for a summer awards banquet and unfortunately for some their dresses weren’t quite long enough when they sat for their officer pictures. Needless to say, Photoshop played a major role before the pictures could be published. Please don’t let that hap-pen to you.

Interview:Whether it is for a scholarship, officer interview, internship or job interview, dress for what you want. When in doubt, go conserva-tive. You can never go wrong in pressed slacks or khakis, nice shirt (tucked in), belt and dress shoes. I prefer to always start by wearing my blazer when I arrive for an interview and then ditch it later if it is a more casual office atmosphere.

New Job/Internship:Dress as you want to be seen: Serious, professional, upward-bound. The most basic mistake new employees make is under dressing. If your office has a written dress code, your problems are solved. If necessary, go shopping with the dress code in hand and you can’t go wrong. But many offices don’t have written standards and it’s up to you to get it right. So, here’s a rule of thumb: Under-stated beats flash five days a week.

This past summer I had the opportunity of having a summer intern. She was bright, professional, ambitious, and had the drive to succeed. However, there was a downfall. As put together as she was, I never imagined that I would have to have the hemlines and V-neck discussion with her. I knew it was time to sit her down when the client made a comment about her attire following a meeting. It’s hard to take anyone seriously if they're dressed for a night on the town rather than a corporate meeting and our client let us know that.

There are a couple of majors don’t I recommend across the board for all events. Facial piercings and tattoos never signify profes-sionalism. If you feel the need to have one, get it where you can cover it up. As for piercings, simply take them out when going to events.

I know these are pretty basic tips, but you would be surprised with the things you will see. First impressions are critical. Re-member, you are marketing a product – yourself – and the first thing the people see when greeting you is your attire. Dress the part and show people you mean business, because you never know who you will meet.

ImPorTaNT CJla NewS aNd UPdaTeS!

As you read this page, Thanksgiving is upon us and Christ-mas is just around the corner! This year has definitely flown by – something about spending lots of time in the barn or on the road to a jackpot or fair plus the crazy hours AT the show! Whew – the time does move fast. As far as CJLA shows left for 2013 – there are just a few cattle shows to wrap up the year.

So … the big question everyone has right now – is about the points. In this issue, you will find the corrections made from last issue. As we are going to print, I just received the results from Cow Palace so there was not time to get them posted here. I will get results recorded and will send out an email letting you know the updated points are on the website. At the end of the year when all shows have been posted, you will be notified so you can check your totals. You will then have a date to respond by to verify your points are correct or to call to go over any questions you may have.

PLEASE watch your emails for messages from [email protected] !! A lot is going now until the end of the year and up to the banquet in February and we need to keep you informed. We try to send all news by email and not have to pay for a lot of postage except on certain things so it is imperative that you read the emails – Thanks!!

All CJLA members have been mailed a packet containing a 2014 membership application and a copy of our Sponsor Letter and Donation Form. Be sure to send in your new membership right away so you start earning points at the first show you attend in 2014! Its’ going to be another exciting year with as many, and even more, shows sanc-tioning. Be sure to check out the 2014 Jackpot Breakdown

in this issue. All shows confirmed for 2014 are listed along with species, location, and contacts. This is a great master list to keep for your reference for the year.

Now to the Banquet. The CJLA relies on the generosity of our supporters and sponsors to cover the cost of the awards given out to our members. Pleases take some time to talk to people you know and businesses you frequent and ask for their support. Every donation, large or small, goes a long way to make this all work. Also, we always have a silent auction during the banquet and we need items for that. Be thinking now what you can bring or who you can ask to donate items. Everyone loves to see all the different items to bid on!

A few reminders: Check out the CJLA website: www.cjlainfo.com. PayPal is set up for donations and you can also pay your membership through PayPal. You will just need to send a completed 2014 membership application so we can get all your information for our records.

The 2014 CJLA Rules and Regulations are now posted on the website. Notices for the 2014 Steer and Heifer Divi-sions are also posted. Please take time to read the Rules and Notices. It is up to you to know what is going on! And of course, call or email with any questions at all!!

How do you join?Fill out the form and exhibit at as many sanctioned shows that you want to. You can attend one or all the shows - It’s up to you!

Why should you join?You’re attending jackpots throughout the year, so why not accumulate points too? Get recognition at the end of the year for all your work and effort to be your best!

What will you get out of it?Our goal is to reward all kids that join with some form of compensation (by awards, scholar-ships, things for your future - personal & project, etc). At the end of the year, points will be tabulated and a banquet held for members, their families and CJLA supporters. It is our belief that all participants in this program are equally important - therefore, our goal is to include and reward every member for their involvement and efforts.

College sophomores or juniors who understand the cattle business and have a passion for effective writing could be the next interns with the world’s leading beef brand.

Certified Angus Beef LLC (CAB) offers paid positions for those who will be juniors or seniors during the internships from next summer into spring 2015. Students with a strong writing back-ground majoring in agricultural journalism or animal science/communications may apply for the 10- to 12-week summer posi-tion or part-time school terms.

November/december 2013 34

By Rachelle Bailey

Cool mornings, shorter days, pumpkin spice coffee, corn harvest and the baseball World Series. The fall has to be my favorite time of the year, in particular the month of October, which is National Pork Month. National Pork Month is a time to celebrate the pork industry. As someone who raises pigs for a living, the pork industry is near and dear to my heart. I have a love and passion for what I do and want each and every consumer to enjoy a safe, healthy and enjoyable eating experience when consuming pork. Most of you reading this may not even realize that the show pig that you spent or will spend so much time raising and working with will indeed one day go into the food chain.

A pork producer, in my mind, is someone who raises a pig which in turn will be harvested into numerous pork products for con-sumers. It doesn’t matter if you raise one pig or 1,000 pigs, these animals will make their way into the food chain. While most of you raising pigs for specific shows or fairs may not realize it, you are representing the pork industry and the 68,000 pork-produc-ing operations in the United States. You are the voice of pork production, especially in the state of California. While California is the largest producing agricultural state, California only ranks 29th in pork production. The top five pork-producing states in the U.S. are 1) Iowa, 2) North Carolina, 3) Minnesota, 4) Illinois, and 5) Indiana. Most pigs are raised in the Corn Belt in the United States. Even though California ranks low in pork production we have a very large number of show pigs being raised by 4-H and FFA mem-bers as project animals.

Thousands of market hogs are shown in the state of Califor-nia. At a show or fair there are numerous consumers and non-consumers of pork who walk through the barns. While having educational dis-plays available to educate the public is important, the most

valuable tool, in my mind, is the face-to-face time with the public. Being able to talk with that person about the pork industry and answer questions is such an important part of participating in shows. There are endless opportunities to educate consumers about this great industry.

As much as we focus on the selection, management and nutrition of the show pig, I urge our young producers to take advantage of educational opportunities before and after exhibiting at fairs and shows. One of the most common questions these days would be the welfare of the pig and management of the animal during its growing stage. You have the chance to help consumers see what we do as producers and not be misled by the false social media that has targeted many producers in the last few years. You have the opportunity to tell the pork production story firsthand.

After the fair auction, 40 cents is taken out of the check for every $100 in value of the hog sold. This is called Pork Check Off. These funds will be used in research, promotion, consumer programs, advertising, production improvement and environmen-tal improvement, The National Pork Producer Council collects voluntary funds to help manage industry and legislative issues affecting the pork industry.

As we continue to celebrate National Pork Month, take advantage of educational opportunities and become involved in organiza-tions such as the California Pork Producers, National Pork Board, National Pork Producers Council, National Junior Swine Associa-tion, National Swine Registry and Team Purebred. I had so much fun raising pigs when I was a 4-H and FFA member, but by get-ting involved and becoming more educated in the pork industry I found my passion and my voice in this great industry.

Remember that each market hog that you raise represents 371 servings of pork. Around 81% of the population consumes pork once every two weeks. We as producers need to work together and educate our consumers and continue to provide a safe, healthy, quality product in the years to come while still showing and rais-ing competitive hogs in the show ring.

The Arizona National Livestock Show is thrilled to add the new jackpot show to the event schedule this year! The Western Legacy Jackpot Show will be held Tuesday, December 31, 2013 at the Arizona State Fairgrounds.

The Jackpot Show is open to all youth exhibitors from any state and will also be sanctioned by the Southern Arizona International Livestock Association (SAILA).

During the course of any project, sometimes it is necessary to stop and look around. It is extremely easy to get lost in the routine of show sheep, show sheep, show sheep, and be negligent of the educa-tional aspect of learning the sheep industry. In a ten-year project, an exhibitor really ought to be a well-rounded sheep exhibitor, in that you have developed and advanced your skills, but have also shared your knowledge and experience with the young and up and coming exhibitors.

Failure — The Key To Success

By Whitney DeMaria

What is it that you fear? Some people are afraid of spiders, other people are afraid of heights. I am afraid of sharks. My fiancé Jordan is afraid of birds. Even though we may have different personal fears, at one point in our life we have all been afraid to fail.

Failure can be tough, it can be heart breaking, it can even seem downright unfair at times. But one thing failure is not is useless. Failure is, in my mind, the greatest teaching tool of all time. Learn-ing to fail is the key to success in life. The secret to overcoming your fear of failure is to change your negative perspective of failure to a positive one. To better your perspective, let's examine some of the greatest success stories in history.

Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor because "he lacked imagination and had no good ideas." He went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland. In fact, the proposed park was rejected by the city of Anaheim on the grounds that it would only at-tract riffraff. Now, if you google Walt Disney, you will find pages and pages of his accomplishments, not to mention creating the biggest entertainment empire of all time.

Let’s take a look at Thomas Edison. Edison’s teachers said he was "too stupid to learn anything." He was then fired from his first two jobs for being "non-productive." He then went on to have 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb, before finally succeeding at attempt number 1,001! He went on to be the greatest inventor to have ever lived, still to this day leading the record for the most United States inventor patents, 1,093. The most any one person in the United States has ever obtained!

Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. Most people in his shoes would have given up, and taken the rejection as a defeat. Not Michael. He rose above the failure to become arguably the greatest basketball player of all time.

I bet if we could ask any one of these guys what their key to success was, they would tell us, “learning from each one of our failures. That it is impossible to be perfect and that failure is not something to be feared, but merely a stepping stone up the long corridor to our goals and dreams.”

I know that we have all heard a lot of these success stories and said, “but that was them, there's no way I will be able to do that.” Well I'm here to challenge those negative thoughts and throw you another proposition. Why not you? Why can't you be the next great success story? What if you had the tools to train your mind to love failure and crave it?

There are a few simple tools I can give you to overcome the fear of failure.

The first is to simply practice positive affirmations. Positive af-firmations are just phrases you tell yourself in the present tense that help your mind focus on what you want to be true. What we believe to be true becomes our reality. Here are a couple I use quite frequently, “I am thankful for my failures, for they take me one step closer to my goals,” or “I embrace failure and am made stronger by it.” It may seem weird at first to say these to yourself, but trust me,

once you get past the weirdness, you will start to see major changes. Repeat these affirmations several times a day, for at least 30 days. You can even write them out and stick them on your mirror, or wherever you know you will look throughout the day.

Another way to overcome failure is to realize that what we our-selves view as failures are simply just curve balls thrown at us to learn and grow from. Once you understand this concept, life gets a lot easier. When you become grateful for your failures and real-ize you are given every challenge, setback, and failure to become a stronger, better, and a wiser person, you will have the mindset to achieve anything.

I want to leave you with one of my favorite quotes by Michael Jordan, "I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

By Nicola FreemanAdrianna Novelo is a true competitor, regardless of the circumstances or challenges in her path. The 17-year-old senior at Ponderosa High School in Shingle Springs, Calif., found a sense of belonging and self-confidence through 4-H and FFA, and continues to pay it forward through her leader-ship and keen instincts of helping others. Always a leader, Adrianna can be found not only caring for her livestock at a show or fair, but also always willing to pitch in and help a fellow competitor.

She has paid her dues with the result of her Angus breeding cattle herd growing into a competitive group of females that this past summer led her into several Champion drives. Adrianna’s goals are being checked off a distinguished list of dreams, even with a recent experience that led to some unforeseeable challenges.

March 3, 2013…On a beautiful Sunday afternoon in March, Adrianna had just completed working with her show heifers and truly was enjoying the day. From her perspective, like each day, her glass was half full. However, the course of the afternoon would lead her down a path no one would ever have expected.

Adrianna was the passenger in a horrific high-impact car accident just two miles from her home. The impact, combined with the seatbelt failing, ejected her from the vehicle 75 feet, barely missing a falling tree that the car had hit, and landed her in a pasture with severe injuries. She was heli-flighted to a regional hospital and later accepted by Shriners Hospital for Children in Sacramento.

The police, first responders, and firefighters at the scene were all baffled by how Adrianna survived the accident. The crash resulted in Adrianna losing her right leg below her knee, a broken back, damage to her neck and a severe double hit TBI (trau-matic brain injury). And through all of this, she only missed one 4-H meeting. Adrianna’s immeasurable dedication to these youth organiza-tion is evident, regardless of the circumstances.

The days and weeks following led to multiple surgeries with a steady stream of prayers and support from the family’s community and friends, all with hopes of a swift recovery. The support from others was felt from Adrianna’s hospital room to the barns and livestock being cared for at home. This was a true motivation to her to make a speedy homecom-ing and set goals for the future.

“When I was in the hospital, I made a list of what I wanted to do and accomplish in the coming months and year,” said Adrianna. “I wanted to show my livestock and get back in the show ring. I was hopeful to make it to my county fair that summer.”

Following extensive time in the hospital, plans were made for Adrianna to make her trip home. The first day home was dedicated to resting, with promises made to see her horse on day two.

As her family wheeled her out into the pasture, her horse, Suzie, slowly approached Adrianna with a mix of comfort and curiosity. Suzie smelled

Adrianna and her legs and, as if knowing, lowered her head to allow Adrianna to embrace her in a hug, which allowed her to stand up for the first time without crutches, with the support of Suzie.

“It was a truly remarkable and amazing moment that we will never forgot,” said Colleen Novelo, Adri-anna’s mom. “They had a impressive bond before the accident, and even more now.”

After this powerful display of affec-tion and healing, Adrianna was found later that day attempting to sneak in her wheelchair to the pasture to check in on her Angus herd. Luckily David, Adrianna’s dad, caught her in pursuit and assisted her making it to the pasture safely. Adrianna’s love and dedication to her animals seemed to be the exact medicine she was seeking all along.

Paying it forward for ShrinersWith her acceptance into Shri-ners Hospital for Children of Northern California, Adrianna is receiving the best care with extensive therapy and rehab, said David and Colleen.

Shriners have hospitals throughout the United States. Their family-centered approach to care is designed to support the whole family during the acute and reconstructive phases of a child’s injury. Adrianna says she is grateful that they accepted her into their program and that it is close to home. Shriners will cover her physical therapy and care until she is 21 years old. Within the therapy program Adrianna is receiving, she is sized and given a new prosthetic leg every 6 months, and will gradually move toward receiving a prosthetic each year. The prosthetics are estimated at a value of $20,000; due to the Shriners program and care, Adrianna is receiving them for free.

“As I was receiving care from Shriners, I didn’t realize at first they were a non-profit. Once I found this out I wanted to find a way to give back,” she said.

Currently Adrianna is creating several non-profit organizations (see sidebar), and has been working with the El Dorado County Fair and Cali-fornia State Fair on proposals to exhibit a steer at each show and auction them in the premium sale with all the proceeds and meat going directly to the Shriners Hospital for Children.

“My goal for the non-profits and exhibiting steers at various jackpot shows leading up to the fairs is to not only generate awareness for Shriners but motivate other youth to consider exhibiting a animal and giving back to an organization that does so much for youth,” Adrianna said.

Making her comebackThis summer a major milestone for Adrianna took place. First, she received her first prosthetic leg on the eve of her county fair, just two

By Nicola FreemanFor Colleen McCarty there is nothing better in this world than showing meat goats, except helping care and raise them! At the age of 12, Colleen asked her parents how she could get involved in 4-H and from that, a showman was born. Though the McCarty family had limited space for large animals, they found meat goats to be the ideal project for Colleen.

“It was a perfect fit for us,” said Delores McCarty, Colleen’s mom. “Once Colleen entered high school and became a member of the California Tu-lare FFA program, she was introduced to other livestock projects, such as market hogs and, later, market sheep, while still showing meat goats.”

Now a senior in high school, Colleen has come along way since her first 4-H meeting. Not only has she shown various market animals in 4-H and now FFA, but she also has developed a relationship with a distinguished Boer goat breeder in California, gaining valuable hands-on experience while continuing to perfect her showing skills.

Making a ConnectionColleen was introduced to Pam Sola of Del Sol Goats, who raises and breeds competitive Boer meat goats based in Tipton, California, several years ago. Colleen had purchased a meat goat from Pam and was a return customer with a deeper interest in the goats. With a desire to learn more, Colleen asked to come out and tour Pam’s operation and eventually it became a natural occurrence for Colleen to be at Del Sol Ranch.

“Colleen really looks up to Pam and has learned so much from her in the last several years of working on her ranch and operation,” said Delores. “My daughter has an even greater passion for raising animals because of Pam. Her abilities, from the show ring to a birthing pen, have given Col-leen a new perspective on raising livestock and the work and dedication required, all of which has become a larger priority in Colleen’s life and future.”

The time spent on Del Sol ranch has proven to be a experience Colleen values and it is apparent as she has become a natural when working with the goats, from labor and delivery to daily care and upkeep with the herd. Colleen says one the coolest experiences was helping assist a veterinarian in an emergency C-section on a doe.

It is a special and unique relation-ship between breeder and junior exhibitor that has evolved; Pam and Colleen are working together with a common goal of promoting powerful and competitive meat goats.

Colleen has shown some competi-tive meat goats through the years and received various championship titles. However, Colleen can recall a great win on her 16th birthday that she will treasure for years to come. She was attending a CJLA show in Porterville and took home the Grand Champion and Reserve Champion Meat Goat titles.

“It was a great place to spend my birthday and these two titles were a sweet way to bring in my birthday,” said Colleen.

From an outsider's perspective, life was looking pretty good for Colleen. She was progressing in her expertise in showing and raising meat goats, along with being a great advocate for showing for the breed and industry. On a personal level, she had just been asked to prom by her boyfriend, without it

conflicting with any shows. Things were looking really great for Colleen.

April 13, 2013It would start out as a day of fun and excitement. The McCarty family and Colleen’s boyfriend, Erik, traveled down to the Fashion District in Los Angeles in pursuit of the perfect prom dress. Colleen’s dad, Shawn, and older brother, Corey, we happy to join the group and even got a sneak peak at the selection and perfect dress choice.

With spirits high, the group would head for home in the late afternoon, traveling on CA Interstate 5 (I-5) on a section known as “The Grapevine.” This is a five-mile grade where I-5 rises sharply to the north at a grade of five percent, and the beginning of a 40-mile journey over the Tehachapi Mountains from northern Los Angeles County to the San Joaquin Valley in Kern County.

It was on this stretch of the freeway, close to Castaic, Calif., that Shawn and Delores heard a tire blow on their vehicle. Shawn immediately let off the gas and began to slow down while looking to see when he could pull off the freeway. After allowing a semi truck to pass him on the left, he made his move off the freeway, and just as they were about to stop, the car jerked, throwing the vehicle across all four lanes and hitting the center divider.

Once the car came to a stop, Delores took an immediate inventory of her loved ones in the car; everyone was accounted for except Colleen. She then looked out her side mirror to see Colleen lying on the side of the freeway. Within second Delores was out of the car and by her daughter’s side. An off-duty EMT happened to be close by the scene and assisted the family as they tried to keep Colleen stable until the paramedics arrived.

Once at the hospital, Colleen’s parents, who suffered minimal injuries, would balance between caring and looking in on Erik and Corey’s injuries and waiting for word on Colleen. She was in surgery with surgeons focused on both her head injury and repairing her arm.

The neurologist came in several hours later to report Colleen was very lucky. She had fractured the front of her skull; it had broken and cut her brain. They removed a small part of her skull and fragments, but were able to stop the bleeding and felt very confident she would recover with only the potential of a slight change in her personality and moods. The ortho-pedic surgeon, who operated on Col-leen’s right arm, was able to place the arm back together, and said that with time they would be able to determine the amount of mobility and function Colleen would have.

Colleen remained in ICU, but was responsive to her family and loved ones' voices, including Pam, who came down to support her and the family. After two weeks in ICU, Colleen was moved to a sister floor of the unit and then to a regular room. As Colleen’s memory began to come back, the questions of whether or not she had missed a livestock show would come up.

“While in the hospital, my goal was to make it home and get back to work with my goats,” said Colleen.
