Investments We stopped by the hospital theother night. We were technicallyon a date, but there was a newnephew freshly hatched, and wethought we ought to bring thenew parents some ice cream. The room was full when we gotthere. One grandpa, an uncle andan aunt were already there tomarvel over the little guy.Grandpa was proudly holding thewee one, so we dropped off the icecream, chatted for a few mo-ments, and were off to the rest ofour date. I did muse, though, thatGrandpa – in this case, Jake’sdad – had officially seen a 100percent return on his investment.His initial investment of five chil-dren had now brought forth fivegrandchildren. By March, thatinvestment return is scheduled tobe at 120 percent. Nice thing is that the interestseems to compound annually.Take my maternal grandparents,for instance. They have sevenchildren of their own. From thoseseven children, 24 grandchildrencame to the clan. Round it up,and that is a 343 percent returnon their investment. In the last10 years, the returns on that ini-tial investment have earned sev-enteen great-grandchildren. Addto that the four that we know arecoming by April, and my grand-parents can anticipate a 643 per-cent return on their investment.Better deal than on Wall Street. Jake’s maternal grandmotherhas similar numbers- – seven inthe initial investment, 24 there-after, and she quit countinggreat-grands after the 40th wasborn. Investor beware, though. It ispossible to make bad invest-

ments. Make too many depositsof “grouch,” “grump,” and “gen-eral ill temper,” and the yieldcomes out as a wholly cantanker-ous child who just is not enjoy-able. Err on the other side and makeevery day a party centered onthat initial investment, and yourefforts will yield a narcissist.Hard to market that kind of astock. No buyer means no daugh-ter or son-in-law, and no futurecompounding of the investment. A favorite saying of parents is,“I hope you have a child just likeyou someday.” Amazingly, each ofour children has inherited atleast one of my vices. They inher-ited Jake’s vices, too, so now he isflawless. I, unfortunately, stillhave vices to bequeath. It is in these vices that I see thebear and the bull appear. Everyone of our kids shows a tendencyto be rather bullheaded at times.They get that from Jake – I stillhave my bullheadedness. With-hold their naps from them, andyou will see the bear. My own father, whose initialinvestment of six children hit a200 percent return with the birthof Child D, and will nudge up to217percent in February when mysister and her husband add onemore, says that having LittlePeople calling him “Grandpa”makes up for all the grey hairswe gave him as we were beingraised. Good thing to keep in perspec-tive on the crazy days. These lit-tle people are the parents of mygrandchildren. I had better takecare of which deposits I makeinto them, so as to get the bestpossible return when this invest-ment compounds.

Peace on EarthOne of my favorite holiday

songs is Anne Murray’s “Christ-mas Wishes.” In the second verseshe notes that if she could havethree wishes the first would bepeace on earth, good will amongmen, and love in all that we do.And her second wish is that herfirst wish goes on forever.

Her wish, and that of mine, iseasy to dream, but as EleanorRoosevelt once said, “It isn’tenough to talk about peace, onemust believe in it. And it isn’tenough to believe in it, one mustwork at it.

Peace on earth is a gift thatgeneration after generation lovesto give their children and grand-children. Together, let’s continueto work at it. With our world is-

sues of late there is not a bettertime to sit by the fireplace or thedecorated tree and thank God forall we have.

When Murray sings, “and lovein all that we do,” I can’t help butthink about our benefits staff atthe South Dakota Department ofVeterans Affairs. Their compas-sion, commitment and their un-ending dedication in all that theydo to assist our veterans andtheir families.

“And love in all we do” also de-scribes the unending commit-ment our staff at the Michael J.Fitzmaurice Veterans Home pro-vides every day when they createa home filled with love and peacefor all our heroes. They are al-ways looking for ways to improvethe lives of our heroes. This past

year, they worked diligently toprepare to move our heroes intotheir new home, never once los-ing site of their day-to-day needs.

“Love in all we do” also re-minds me of the hundreds ofpartners within our veteran net-work. These wonderful advocatesdonate monies, gifts, cards, sup-plies and volunteer hours to im-prove the lives of our veterans inevery corner of this great state.

Wishing you and your family ablessed holiday season and a newyear of peace and happiness. Andas you and your family gatherthis holiday season, please keepour heroes, past and present inyour hearts. God bless our veter-ans, their families, and ourtroops that are currently servingin harm’s way.

Pomegranates: Benefits and Uses

Pomegranates have beenaround since ancient times,though many individuals haveyet to try one. They are com-monly grown in the Middle Eastand the Mediterranean, but theexact origin of the pomegranateis not known. Pomegranates wereintroduced to California in 1769.The name pomegranate meansapple with many seeds in Latin. Give pomegranates a try as amethod for increasing your fruitconsumption. The United StatesDepartment of Agriculture’s My-Plate food guidance system rec-ommends that people fill halftheir plate with fruits and veg-etables. The pomegranate seeds, alsoknown as arils, and the red seedpulp surrounding the seeds, arethe edible parts of the fruit. Gen-erally, the fruit is the size of alarge orange. A half-cup of pome-granate seeds has 72 calories, 1fat gram, and 16 grams carbohy-drates. Pomegranate seeds are agreat source of fiber and the juicecontains vitamin C and potas-sium. According to research, con-sumption of pomegranate juice as

an antioxidant has been found toreduce the risk of cancer andheart disease. When purchasing pomegran-ates in the grocery store, choosethe heavier ones; they will be thejuiciest. Ripe pomegranates havea soft outer skin and the sideswill look flattened. Select pome-granates that don’t have anycracks. Whole pomegranates can bestored at room temperature for aweek or refrigerated for up to twomonths. Refrigerate fresh seedsor juice for up to five days. Onelarge pomegranate makes one-fourth to one-half cup of juice.Pomegranate juice can be frozen.To freeze, fill containers leavingone-half inch headspace for ex-pansion, label with date and usewithin one year. Freeze the seedsby spreading a thin layer on acookie sheet. Quick freeze for upto two hours, then transfer tofreezer bags or containers and re-turn pomegranate seeds to thefreezer. Simple steps for making it easyto eat fresh pomegranates: Cutfruit one-half inch down from thetop of the crown. Pomegranate

seeds will be divided by four tosix sections of white membranes.Use a sharp knife to score theleathery skin along each section.Turn the grouping of seeds facedown in a large deep bowl to keepjuice from splattering and gentlypull. The seeds will easily pullout. Another method (after cut-ting below the crown of the fruit),loosen and pull the seed sectionsout in a bowl of water; the seedssink and the inedible pulp floats. Try the following ideas for eat-ing pomegranates. Sprinkle seedson desserts, salads and soups.Eat the seeds plain or with yo-gurt as a snack. The juice can beused for making smoothies, mari-nades, dips, sauces, jellies, pud-dings and desserts. For addi-tional ideas for using pomegran-ates refer to the publication“Pomegranate Fruit Uses,Recipes and Storage” http://bit.ly/1igbWJJ , by the University ofFlorida UF/IFAS Extension.

The Transition Taking Placein the Beef Market

Total U.S. beef production in2015 is expected to decline byabout 2.5 percent from 2014. Thiswould be the lowest annual beefproduction in the United Statessince 1993. Part of the reason behind thisdecline could be due to the U.S.herd expansion with many pro-ducers throughout the UnitedStates, including South Dakota,holding on to more calves. Theherd expansion is expected tocontinue into 2016. Feedlot placements reported inthe October Cattle on Feed reportindicated they were down 3.7 per-cent from one year ago. This isthe fourth consecutive month ofyear over year decreases for feed-lot placement. Total feedlot place-ments are down 452,000 headcompared to the 2014 year. Whilethere is an expectation for an in-crease in feedlot placement in thecoming months it is clear thatfeedlot numbers will remain tightthrough the beginning of 2016. Delayed feedlot marketing thissummer led to extremely heavycarcass weights and a market

purge of heavy cattle in Septem-ber and October. The majority ofthe situation involved steerslaughter, which was previouslydown 3.4 percent for the year,however in the last couple ofmonths there has been an in-crease of up to 7.8 percent yearover year during this period oftime. Total cattle slaughtered isdown 5.7 percent for the year. Onthe positive side the jump in steerslaughter seems to have cor-rected the excess of heavy cattle.During this time steer carcassweights peaked at 930 pounds inmid-October and have decreasedsince. The unfortunate thing withcleaning out the excess heavyweight cattle was that it dumpeda lot of beef into the market thatwill remain a potential factor af-fecting prices the rest of the year.In the past couple of months beefproduction has been up 2.1 per-cent year over year. It will be im-portant for producers to remem-ber that beef movement throughthe wholesale and retail marketsappears to be good. However, itwill take time and lower prices tomove the majority of the beefthrough the market.

Keeping your livestock vaccines viable Vaccines are a vital part ofkeeping all livestock healthy, saidTracey Erickson, South DakotaState University Extension dairyfield specialist. "Vaccines provide protectiveimmunity approximately 21 daysfollowing the initial vaccinationin the majority of livestock. Somevaccines may require booster vac-cination(s) to ensure immunityfor the period designated by themanufacturer. A valid vet-client-patient relationship will help youas you select the vaccine of choicefor your livestock health pro-gram," Erickson said. Vaccines are only as effectiveas their proteins, Erickson said."Proteins are the major compo-nents of the organisms that makeup both killed and MLV vaccines.Proteins are denatured by the in-teraction of two major factors;time and temperature," she said. She added that most commondisinfectants will render modifiedlive organisms inactive. "So theanti-bacterial soap or even city orrural water, which contains chlo-rine, can have an effect on vac-cines, when residues are presentin your syringes or transfer nee-dles. Thus, rinse with distilledwater which is near the boilingpoint," she said. Other considerations for han-dling, storing and using vaccinesinclude purchasing and use con-siderations of vaccines. Check ex-piration dates and make sure youcan use it before it expires. For

MLV vaccines purchase a smallerdose instead of larger dose vials,which will enable using the vac-cine in a shorter time period.Also, Erickson reminds livestockproducers to purchase an ade-quate number of needles andplan on replacing the needleabout every five to 10 head of cat-tle. Do not straighten a bent nee-dle, replace it. Check the recommended stor-age temperature, and use a coolerwhile transporting and while vac-cinating to keep the vaccine atthe recommended temperatureand also to minimize exposure tosunlight. Check your refrigera-tor's temperature periodically toassure that it is working properlyand is keeping the vaccines at thecorrect temperature. While work-ing, keep vaccines in a coolerwith ice packs in summer or pos-sibly hot packs in winter if it istoo cold. Check vaccine labels for

proper storage temperature. Make sure your equipment isclean and rinsed with distilledwater to remove any residues.Set up an area for syringes suchthat they are kept cool, shaded,and dust-free while working. If using MLV vaccines, only re-hydrate the vials either one at atime or as they are needed. Makesure you are using a clean trans-fer needle and use only the dilu-ent supplied by the manufacturerto rehydrate the vaccine. Alwaysuse a brand-new needle to drawup the vaccine into the syringe.When using needle-free injectionsystems, or syringes that drawdoses from a tube attached to thevaccine bottle, care should betaken to assure the bottle andtubing stay cool and shaded fromsunlight. Discard any mixed MLV vac-cines that are not used, as theyare only viable for about an houror two after reconstitution. Dis-

card any partial bottles of inacti-vated vaccine that have been con-taminated by dirty needles. Re-turn unmixed MLV and unusedinactivated vaccines to properstorage as soon as possible.Clean syringes, transfer needlesand tubing. Rinse with distilled,boiling water inside and out. Fol-low the manufacturer's directionson proper cleaning and mainte-nance of needle-free injection sys-tems. Burn empty vaccine bottles

or follow label directions for dis-posal of containers and needles. "The success of any livestockvaccination program depends onthe effectiveness of the vaccineused," Erickson said. "Vaccines,which in essence are suspen-sions of biological organisms,will become ineffective if properstorage and handling recom-mendations are not followed.
