• BEST SELLING SHAMPOO • SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO CREATE HAIR VOLUME • CONTAINS SULLIVAN’S VITA HAIR VITAMIN PACKAGE Vita Hair Volumizer™ Foaming Shampoo is formulated with a natural plant- based proprietary surfactant technology which creates an opposite acting polar electrical charge within each hair strand that actually pushes every hair follicle apart. This prevents the hair from sticking together, and actually springs it loose, making each hair follicle stand on end for a noticeable diference in hair volume and body.

Scientifically formulated hydrating and nourishing conditioner that uses the hair and skins natural oil make up to formulate the best replenishment of the natural oils and vitamins back into the hair to promote hide and hair health as well as hair growth and strength.

ad in this issue on your phone! You can see map pins of every sale, view them by state or in alphabetical order and even get directions from your phone! It doesn’t matter what online sale company, type of sale or location, we have them all! It is a really cool feature. Plus, it’s free! You will also want to check out all of our Show Results from this Summer’s Junior Nationals. We’ve included Simmentals, Angus, Maines, Chis, Shorthorns, Red Angus, Limousin, Charolais and so many more! We’ve also included Faces and Places from Madison, Wisconsin where we were the Official Media Partner of the AJSA National Classic! One of our favorite features in this issue are our Flashback pages where we share with our readers the past Grand and Reserve Champions from the different State Fairs. It is so cool seeing the different champions side by side. A feature that is only found in The Showtimes! We’re getting ready to head out to the State Fairs this August. We can’t wait to see everyone and cover some of our favorite shows of the year! We know what a big deal the State Fairs are and love covering them. We hope you enjoy our August issue.

There is nothing quite like a State Fair. There is something about showing your steer at State Fair that is different from a Spring Jackpot or even a National Show. For my family, there was always more on the line. When you show at most shows, if you lose you just pack up and head on to the next. If you lose your State Fair, it is big deal. Growing up in Colorado, if your steer placed in the top four or five in your class you qualified for the sale and had to sell. You couldn’t just head on to Aksarben or the American Royal if you had to sell. So much goes into raising a steer for State Fair. It takes months of hard work and sacrifice. It is always around 100 degrees, and a stressful time of year. When you win, it is always worth it. Now that my family is done showing steers at the Colorado State Fair, our big project every Summer is working on making our August State Fair Edition the best it can be. Not only is it our biggest issue, it is the one that people talk about. There are more ads, more features and more details than any other issue we work on. We strive to top each previous issue and bring you the latest graphics. We had a lot of fun putting together this issue! Inside you will find all of the latest ads and pasture sales!

Mr. James “Jim” R. Bloomberg, 66 of rural Berwick, passed away Thursday, May 19, 2022, as a result of a farm accident. He was born November 12, 1955 in Kewanee, the son of James and JoAnn (Carlson) Bloomberg. He was raised by his mother and her second husband, John Williams. Jim married Mary E. Ray on December 29, 1984 at the Abingdon Christian Church.

He was preceded in death by his parents and father who raised him John Williams, and one brother, Josef Bloomberg. Jim graduated from Normal Community High School and attended Illinois State University. He was a lifelong farmer and cattleman and was a co-owner of Bloomberg Cattle with his family. He was a very active community minded person. Jim was the president of the Abingdon School Board, District 217 for 16 years. He was a member of the Illinois Simmental Board and member of the Illinois Beef Expo committee. He was a wonderful cattleman and was loved and respected by thousands across the industry. He was a renown livestock evaluator, remembered for his honesty, integrity and ability to connect with young people. He was “Mr. Fix It” around the farm and enjoyed mechanics. Most of all, he was the most loving son, husband, father, brother and forever our PaPa Jim.

All families have that one recipe that they hold close to their heart. For my family, that is Grandma’s Spaghetti. It was our go-to for Birthday dinners, special occasions or just for a random night of the week meal that you wanted something satisfying. From the time I was a little girl, I would love to spend time with my Grandma in the kitchen. She taught me so much and inspired my love for cooking. To this day, every time we make Grandma’s Spaghetti it is the best meal in the world!

GRANDMA’S SPAGHETTI

Laurie Reid with her Grandma Case

INGREDIENTS • 1 Large Onion, Diced • 1 lb Ground Beef • 1-2 Tbsp. Prepared Seasoning (Recipe Below) • 16 oz. Dried Spaghetti • 6 oz. Tomato Paste • Salt & Pepper to Taste

DIRECTIONS Prepare seasoning before you start. Dice a large onion and combine with ground beef in a large skillet. Salt and pepper to taste. And add a couple of teaspoons of prepared seasoning. Cook over medium heat until browned and cooked through (Once cooked leave to the side for later) Meanwhile bring a large 5qt. pot of water to boil following the spaghetti package instructions. Once boiling add one Tablespoon of salt and one Tablespoon of seasoning to boiling water then add the spaghetti. Boil for 7-8 min (the pasta won’t be completely cooked yet) ladle out at least three cups of the boiling water into a bowl or container and leave to the side in case you need in later. Drain out water till it covers the spaghetti in the pot by an inch or two and return to boil. Add the tomato paste and hamburger into the boiling water and continue to cook until the pasta is cooked through (this usually takes a little longer than the package instructions). You can add back the saved water a little at a time if it needs to cover the spaghetti more. You can add more of the spaghetti sauce seasoning to taste. My Grandma would always let this sit on the stove to let the now sauce on the spaghetti to thicken. Serve and enjoy. Makes for my favorite left overs.

SPAGHETTI SAUCE SEASONING • 4 tsp. Spice Islands Basil, Sweet • 1 - 1/2 tsp. Spice Islands Marjoram • 4 1/4 tsp. Spice Islands Onion Powder • 4 tsp. Sugar • 3 1/2 tsp. Salt • 2 1/2 tsp. Spice Islands Garlic Powder • 1 1/2 tsp. Spice Islands Rosemary • 1 1/2 tsp. Spice Islands Pepper, Black Medium Grind • 1 tsp. Spice Islands Summer Savory • 1/2 tsp. Spice Islands Cloves, Ground

Combine all ingredients in a small food processor or coffee grinder until fine (depending on how big your grinder you may have to grind in batches) Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Store in tightly sealed container.

“THIS IS A FAMILY THING.”

all success has to be worked for. There is one thing in the Guyer barn that is constantly recited, and that is “this is a family thing.” There is not a time where it is only one of the girls. It is always something that the family does. It is a team effort in their barn, and when it comes to the daily grind, the livestock comes first. Each day looks quite a bit alike. It starts early in the morning bringing cattle in the barn, then right to the pig side to feed and walk pigs, but the day isn’t over until the cattle go back out late at night, and with it being a multispecies barn, they would like to extend

The Guyer Family has been exhibiting livestock for close to 16 years. Dave, Lucy, Ashtin, and Nalaney reside in Robinson, Illinois where their passion for the livestock industry began. This passion was instilled in the girls at a young age, as both Dave and Lucy grew up around livestock. The older the girls got, the more involved they were. They began showing pigs in 2006, and soon found that their hearts were in the pig ring, at least until they began showing cattle. Now, both of the girls have learned the importance of work ethic in the barn, because as most know, nothing is given and

their thanks to Jason and Aaron who will stay back while they are exhibiting all across the country. Just recently the girls exhibited at the Exposition where they were fortunate enough to exhibit the Supreme Overall Gilt. With this being Ashtin’s last year, this win meant a lot to the Guyer family. They said, “there’s nothing quite like sharing something like that

with your family and closest friends who have become like family over the years.” As the girls get older, they have reflected on their time in the show ring, and although there are a few more years that the Guyer’s will be exhibiting they can’t help but thank God for everything that He has blessed them with, because “nothing is impossible through Him.” The win

at Expo is something that they will always cherish as a family. One thing that they would like to pass on to the next generation of exhibitors is to never waiver, and your family will always be your biggest cheerleaders so keep them close and remember to set your goals high, but not out of reach, and keep working for them because they will be achieved. •

A HUGE IMPACT ON THIS INDUSTRY.

136

137

ard Brothers Livestock (WB), owned by Jack and Mary Ann Ward, and their two sons, Cameron and Carter, is home to approximately 60 cows, split between spring and summer calvers. Established in 1991, WB began with junior projects for Cameron and Carter, focusing on producing competitive show cattle that grow into useful, productive animals for young showmen, as well as seedstock and commercial producers. That’s the same way Jack’s older brothers — Roger, Jim, Steve and Tommy — established the original WB in the early 1960s. Support from their parents and mentorship by a good family friend, Ken Torr, were pivotal in the program’s success. Mary Ann has a rich history in the cattle business, too. Her grandfather

and great uncle were very successful Hereford breeders in east central Ohio. Her parents, Gary and Shirley, still operate a commercial cowherd on the original Watson Hereford Farm. Gary’s focus continues to be building a cowherd that thrives on the native grasses of east central Ohio, producing top-end feeder calves that demand strong prices in the local market. Jack and Mary Ann were very active in 4-H and FFA. Participation in associated junior activities ignited their passion for the seedstock business. Jack received an associate of science degree from Black Hawk East College in 1984; he was a member of the school’s national champion livestock judging team. He transferred to Purdue University where he received his bachelor of science degree in agricultural economics. Mary Ann attended Ohio State University, which

creates a little household competition during college football and basketball seasons. Jack and Mary Ann married in 1991 and began their own journey in the seedstock business. At the time, Jack was managing Three Rivers Angus, Roanoke, Ind. In 1997, Jack and Mary Ann had the opportunity to become managing partners of Maple Lane Angus, Shipshewanna, Ind. with Keith Lambright and his family. Maple Lane Angus purchased the Three Rivers herd in its entirety, which served as the foundation for the partnership. Jack and Mary Ann both agree their partnership with Keith and his family was special and opened some doors for them to grow and build an incredible seedstock herd. It also enabled Cameron and Carter to start purchasing a few cows. Looking back, there were certainly a couple of cow families that had a tremendous impact on our program’s growth and continue to have an impact in the industry today. Our foundation cow was SVF Forever Lady 1120. Over time, she accounted for more than $1 million in total sales for her owners: Maple Lane Angus, Waldeck Farms and Eaglestone Farms. This cow continues to impact our herd through her son, TRA Forever and Ever 608. Another son out of 1120, Maple Lane Forever Ready, continues to be used in progressive breeding programs. However, the 1120 cow may be most famous for her daughters sired by the legendary AAR New Trend. There were a number of those females, and they are still seen in pedigrees across the industry. Carter successfully showed a daughter of Forever and Ever — an 1120 great granddaughter — during the 2012 show season. In 2003, the Ward Family dispersed the Maple Lane Angus cowherd and moved to Plattsburg, Mo. when Jack accepted the position of chief

138

operations officer and director of breed improvement for the American Hereford Association. This really brought things full circle as Mary Ann’s family had a long and strong history with the Hereford breed. Plus, Jack’s dad managed Fields Hereford Farm, Battle Ground, Ind., for a number of years in the late 1970s. Bob Fields had purchased the entire Egypt Valley Hereford cowherd, and during this time, Jack worked closely with his dad on the diversified

farming operation. Jack and his sister showed Hereford cattle on the local, state and national levels.
