The cattle complex was hit hard along with the stock market as high-priced beef is particularly sensitive to
economic events. Cash markets continued weaker last week but beef values appear to be stabilizing.
Slaughter weights have been especially heavy the past two weeks, and feedlots took large discounts on
those sales. Feeder cattle have struggled to re-ignite the bullish attitude that they enjoyed over the last few
years, with prices now hovering below year ago levels. Feedlots expect big numbers of calves to come off
of pastures this fall, and weakening fed cattle prices have cattle buyers lowering bids for those calves.
Energy markets also saw significant pressure from the declining stock markets fallout, adding to a long
standing bearish trend. The slowing global economic activity has certainly cast a pall over the energy
markets. However, this week Saudi Arabia called an emergency meeting of OPEC members to discuss the
low crude oil prices, suggesting that perhaps they may be willing to reduce production after all. The
financial market turmoil has led traders to presume that the FED will not be raising interest rates any time
soon, and that sent the US dollar lower as well, which helped the euro. The Canadian dollar was not helped
by the drop in our currency, as weak energy prices are starting to create sluggishness in their own economy
as well.

In the land of the free, home of the brave, lies the Treasure State in all its grandeur, and unless you’re a newcomer here
you’ve heard and felt the heartbeat of Montana’s economy, appearing in the form of Agriculture. Tricia’s Trader celebrates all that is
Montana Ag by acknowledging the agencies, organizations and people who serve as the voice for their industry--not always unified,
but absolutely passionate and devoted to their respective purposes. Since it’s impossible for the Ag Industry not to intertwine with
utilization of this state’s natural resources, you’ll see features that discuss those industries as well. If you’ve ever wondered what
all these groups do, what they stand for, who they support and why, you will never be handed a better opportunity to learn than in
Tricia’s Trader over the course of 2015 and 2016, where we examine each faction in detail.
AG SERIES:
Montana Quarter Horse Assn.: Strength in Versatility
by Ali Everts
It is one of the oldest recognized horse breeds, having carried the first
pioneers westward, herding cattle and taking on the form of a mythical Pegasus –
flying across the race track – but without wings: the American Quarter Horse.
The birth of this versatile beauty occurred in colonial America. Colonists
raced their English horses, then turned around and used them in their fields. Then
these Colonists were soon introduced to quick Native American ponies – the same
horses that were used by early Spaniard conquistadors – called Spanish Barbs.
When these were crossed with an imported Arabian for speed and the colonists’
English stock, the new breed bore the tag “Quarter horse”, after the quarter mile
distance most commonly run in Colonial racing up small village main streets.
It was the perfect horse for the West. Strong physique and temperament
would win over the rugged West. Good horses like the Quarter Horse helped build
the ranching industry. Over time, many cowboys recognized the importance of
preserving this beauty of a horse and sought to honor it as a pure breed. Enter the
American Quarter Horse Association.
The American Quarter Horse Association [AQHA] today is an organization
of members fueled by their passion to keep the American Quarter Horse prominent
in all of its versatile uses. AQHA also maintains the world’s largest equine breed
registry.
You do not have to own a Quarter horse to be a member. Whether you
show horses, love racing horses, raise horses, like trail rides or are just dreaming
of owning a horse, the AQHA has many member benefits. Membership includes a
subscription to America’s Horse Magazine, competing in AQHA shows from halter
to jumping and everything in between, discounts and offers for local partnership
businesses, and other similar perks.
However, since AQHA is a very large national organization, Montana
Quarter Horse Association serves as a more local option to help members navigate
the avenues of the AQHA. The Montana Quarter Horse Association also promotes
the use of the Quarter Horse in Montana.
Rita Church, vice president of the Montana Quarter Horse Association,
says that in these busy times, it is nice to have something to ground you back to the
simple things in life, like riding
a horse. MQHA has numerous
clinics for youth interested in
horses, group camps at lower
rates and trail rides available for
everyone, including families.
“The Quarter Horse’s
versatility
is
something
to be celebrated,” Church
emphasizes. “We try to have
weekends dedicated to the
quarter horse family with poets,
musicians, obstacle courses
and time to talk to other horse
owners.”
These weekends of fun
are usually held twice every
year in July and August and
welcome all horse owners. Yet,
this is only one of many ways
in which MQHA is working
to
strengthen
community
involvement.
MQHA
president,
Ralph Young says that one of
the most important things the
organization does is instill a
love of horses in youth.
“The discipline, knowledge and dedication that is taught by caring for a
Quarter Horse is one of the best lessons we can offer our children,” Young iterates.
“It takes a lot to get a horse ready for a show. The training and just taking care of
them the very best you can is a wonderful thing.”
Young grew up on a ranch where his family raised American Quarter
Horses. His passion for the horse industry was thus instilled at a very early age. He
remembers showing his Quarter Horses in competitions around the states.
Now, however, he races Quarter horses. Most Quarter Horse racing is
outside of Montana now because the participation numbers are down, but every
year, there are still about four Quarter Horse races in state, some of which are double
judged so contestants can get double the points - usually all in one weekend to help
members who are traveling.
“Horses are expensive, and we understand that in our current economic
state not everyone has the money to travel around the country for shows, races, and
spend money on trail rides and clinics,” Young said. “We work hard to keep costs
down by trying to keep participation up.”
Around the country horse registration for the American Quarter Horse
Association has been cut in half over the last ten years, Young noted. However, the
Quarter Horse still prevails above other horse breeds in popularity.
MQHA’s solution for the dwindling horse participation dilemma is to start
at the root of the problem with their secret weapon: the Montana Quarter Horse
Youth Association. This group for those 18 years of age and under offers youth
clinics, two $500 scholarships a year, AQHYA World Championship Show Team
and AQHA Novice Championship shows.
According to Young the strongest quality of the Quarter Horse is its
versatility – it can do anything – which is a direct correlation to how MQHA and
MQHYA view their membership – anyone can do it.
“The best thing you can do if you are a horse person is knock on one of our directors’
doors,” Young says. “Our directors are scattered all across the state and they can
help you with any questions you have about how to get involved.”

events, or subscribing to a MQHA membership visit www.montanaqha.com.

All Super 8 hotels are independently owned and operated.
Held in conjunction with “What the Hay” and located midway
between Windham and Hobson, is the Utica Day Fair sponsored by the
Utica Women’s Club. This affair provides a wonderful festival-like atmosphere in rustic Utica and is held on the comfortable, well-maintained
lawns of the Utica Clubhouse. It features a wide variety of exhibits and
booths which offer creative home-made crafts, gifts, arts and food favorites like hamburgers, hot dogs and ice cream. Particularly prized are
the sinfully delicious slices of homemade pies made by members of the
Utica Women’s Club and the Hobson Women’s Club.
The highlight of the Utica Day Fair is the presentation of a unique,
hand-embroidered quilt that is awarded to the winning raffle ticket holder
at the end of the day. Proceeds from the Fair are used to provide scholarships for Hobson High School students and to sponsor community
activities such as wedding showers, funeral dinners, Thanksgiving and
Christmas dinners, and a long-standing cribbage tournament. Another
“must see” on the Montana Bale Trail.

Montana Bale Trail
“What the Hay”
Sunday, September, 13, 2015
Hobson to Utica to Windham, Montana
The “What the Hay” (Montana Bale Trail) is organized by The
Friends of the Hobson Library/Museum and sponsored by local businesses
and private individuals. It is held annually on the first Sunday following
Labor Day in conjunction with the Utica Day Fair. This truly unique
event features “am-hayzingly” creative and (most often) quite amusing
sculptures made of hay and straw.
Beginning in 1990, “What they Hay” has grown from a friendly,
tongue-in-cheek, competition between two neighboring ranchers into a
full-blown, major tourist attraction. In 2003, it was named Montana’s
Tourism Event of the Year, and last year-the twentieth anniversary
edition-saw over 50 beautifully sculpted entries.
The fantastic and imaginative bale sculptures are displayed in
fields along the “Bale Trail,” a 21 mile loop just south of U.S. Highway
87. The “Bale Trail” runs along state highways 239 and 541 with the
eastern end being in Hobson, the western end at Windham, and Utica
(home of the famous Oxen Yoke Inn) being the halfway point.

Rescuing the Honey Bee
by: Ali Everts
The honey bees are dying. Every year, since 2006, bee keepers are losing an
average of 32 percent of their hives. Yet, in the face of such substantial losses, the reason
behind these loses remain a mystery.
Montana State University researcher and virologist, Michelle Flenniken, has
recently received many a grant from sponsors ranging from the USDA, the Montana
State Department of Agriculture and other non-profit organizations to investigate this
problem. She came to MSU in June 2012 and established a lab of five undergraduate
students, three graduate students and another virologist in hopes of gaining copious and
consistent amounts of research on the subject.
“The honey bee problem is a big question in biology,” Flenniken said. “I thought
I had the skills to tackle it, since it is not only an environmental problem but a human
health problem.”
Flenniken is a microbiologist by training and her scientific background started
by using viruses to combat cancer. She did this by studying fruit fly immune responses
(which means she studied how the fruit fly’s cells reacted to an internal attack), since 50
percent of fruit fly genes are in humans. After 2006 when honey bees started declining,
she wrote a grant to investigate honey bee antiviral defense mechanisms, or in other
words, what exactly a honey bee’s cells do to ward off an intruder virus. Thus, Flenniken
essentially studies two systems, the viruses that attack honey bees and the honey bees’
way of dealing with it.
Since her initial fascination with honey bees, Flenniken came to a huge landmark
by co-discovering a new group of viruses that attacked them. They called it the Lake
Sinai virus, named after the lake in South Dakota, which Flenniken says is a typically
scientific maneuver - that when you don’t fully understand the pathology, scientists
name it based off of lakes and rivers where it was founded. For example, the Ebola virus
was named after the Ebola River.
Now Flenniken’s team at Montana State University is just trying to amass the
research of as many honey bee hives across the nation as they can. She wants there to be
a strong base of reliable evidence when it comes to assessing the health of our colonies.
“A typical day in my laboratory consists of analyzing experiments, visiting
bee colonies once a week, and obtaining frozen bees from all over the United States,”
Flenniken said. “We are just now wrapping up a study using 54 different colonies.”
Analyzing experiments in Flenniken’s lab sometimes means they molecularly
test the DNA and RNA of the bees—taking one of the bee’s cells and stripping it down
to one of its most basic levels, the coded instructions that tell a cell how to create life.
Sometimes when viruses and bacteria and fungi attack an animal’s cell they find their
host’s life instructions and insert their own DNA. This new addition to the laundry list
of life instructions can be passed on from parents to child. Thus, with the frozen bees
from different colonies that are gathered for Flenniken’s research, each bee’s DNA is
looked at and scrutinized for any remnants of virus, bacteria and fungi DNA. That can
tell researchers what has been affecting the bees.
“So in total when we look at the bee’s DNA and RNA, we are looking for 2
bacterial species, a fungi, a multitude of viruses and a few others species that have come
in contact with the bees or their family,” Flenniken said.
The lab takes in all this data and makes a record of what pathogens are affecting
their bee colonies, all geared toward creating a more complete picture of what is really
affecting our bees.
In the meantime, while scientists race to find the key to rescue the honey
bee, Flenniken says that the public can do certain things to help bees thrive. Planting
pollinator friendly plants. Reducing the use of agro-chemicals in their lawn. But mostly,
paying more attention to the landscape we have provided for our bees and helping to
increase what they need. When we look out at grassy fields of Montana or grassy lawns,
bees cannot pollinate that. They need more honey bee friendly forage. This forage can go
on roadsides or medians, Flenniken said. This issue of the honey bees affects everyone
who eats, as the honey bee is the backbone for living plants.
“Bees are important pollinators of over 130 crops and many of our common
plants,” Flenniken said. “Bee pollinators help ensure we have a diverse, nutritious diet.
This discouraging annual loss of bees will continue to be researched and as we learn
more about the co-evolution between host and pathogens, and continue to monitor the
honey bee population – we can come to better understand and help the honey bees.”

DAVE SAYS:
Who Is Dave Ramsey?
Dave Ramsey is a personal money
management expert, popular national
radio personality and the author of three
New York Times bestsellers – The Total
Money Makeover, Financial Peace Revisited
and More Than Enough. In them, Ramsey
exemplifies his life’s work of teaching others
how to be financially responsible, so they can
acquire enough wealth to take care of loved
ones, live prosperously into old age, and give
generously to others.
DEAR DAVE,
My husband and I are both 50, and we make about $50,000
a year. We have a little bit of debt, and recently my mother-in-law
moved in with us due to health issues. We’ve always gotten by, but
now we’re struggling with the additional expense of having her with us.
We love her, but we’re unsure what to do financially. Do you have any
suggestions?~Jen
Dear Jen,
Anytime things get tight and something like that happens,
it’s your wake-up call. It’s the phone ringing, so I’m going to tell you
to pick up the phone. It’s telling you that you’ve been kind of sloppy
and disorganized with your finances in the past, but you’ve made just
enough money to get away with it.
Her moving in tightened things up, and that’s understandable
to a point. But it has shone a spotlight on the fact that you’re going to
have to start doing a written plan and behaving. Chances are you’re
going to have to cut back on some stuff, because you’ve chosen to take
care of her. This is an honorable choice and a wonderful thing you’re
doing, by the way.
With this added responsibility you’ve taken on — and many
Americans are facing the same thing — you’re going to find yourselves
on one end of the Sandwich Generation. They’re sandwiched between
taking care of their parents and taking care of their grown kids. And the
way you handle it is with a written budget.
The good news is that with a detailed plan, you can analyze
whether you need extra income, if you need to cut some expenses or
both. You’ve got to create a little margin to have a clear picture of your
future. If you just wander along without a plan, you’re going to make a
mess out of this, and it’s going to get bad fast.
~Dave

Ramblings of a Conservative
Cow Doctor
by Krayton Kerns, DVM, former State Rep. HD 58
My Five Minutes as a Democrat
Long before elected to Montana’s House, I
stepped in front of a crowd and told a little white lie; an
old fashioned term used to diminish a falsehood. With
today’s progressivism, lying has become so trendy white
people profess to be black and men to claim to be women.
Little white lies have been replaced by 50 shades of gray.
My little gray lie helped a friend who found himself in a
pickle and here is the story.
The trophy wife was one of the organizers of
Laurel’s Aviation and Technology Week; an educational
event swamping our community with students, aircraft,
gadgets and gizmos. My Super Cub was one of the static
displays at the Laurel Airport, so I visited with students
milling the tarmac watching the many magnificent military
flybys. After an F-16 zoomed overhead, I explained how
slow flight dropping in and out of short, bush airstrips in
a Super Cub is far more exciting than zipping along faster
than the speed of sound. In truth, most F-16 pilots dream
of someday flying a Super Cub.
As the afternoon progressed, Dick, the flyby
organizer, asked for my help. The Golden Knight
parachute team would be jumping overhead and being
the Army’s public relations unit, they ceremonially hand

a souvenir wooden baton to the presiding elected official.
Yellowstone County Commissioner Kennedy was enroute,
but was hopelessly stuck in the snarled school bus traffic
hauling thousands of students to the airport. The winds
had been temperamental that afternoon and a sudden
calm made the Golden Knight officer anxious to okay the
jump. “This fellow is pushing me,” Dick whispered to
me. “Could you stand in is as Commissioner Kennedy?”
“Certainly,” I fired back ever willing to take one
for the team.
The Golden Knights jumped, performed their
routine, hit the tarmac and began signing souvenir posters.
The commanding officer carried the wooden baton to a
makeshift media stand and Dick instructed me to step
from the crowd and identify myself as Commissioner
Kennedy. We smiled for the cameras and shook hands as
I took the baton while the officer cook-booked his opening
remarks. When it was my turn to respond, I let it rip in
my best politician voice. At first I felt sheepish knowing
my address was fraudulent, but then I remembered I was
impersonating a Democrat, so the truth didn’t matter. I
welcomed him to Yellowstone County on behalf of the
Commission and the organizers of this event. The roar

from the crowd was hypnotic and I immediately felt
the insatiable urge to give away other people’s stuff. I
wanted to promise free healthcare, free college tuition,
unemployment benefits and food stamps and might have
had the crowd not been filled with pilots, highly educated
in the law of gravity. Aviators would instantly spot the
precarious similarity of Marxist wealth redistribution to a
pilot addressing an inflight emergency by simultaneously
exhausting his supply of airspeed, altitude and ideas. Both
will end in a crash. I kissed a few nearby babies, left the
stage and this brings me to my point.
Politicians lie because it is the easiest way to
control the little people. The entire Democrat platform,
from amnesty to Obamacare, is built on a con. Others
should not be smug, as establishment Republicans yearn
to join the Democrats in splitting America into the ruling
class and the unwashed. Tyranny always works for the
tyrant which is why establishment Republicans fully
funded amnesty and Obamacare contrary to campaign
promises in 2012 and 2014. Our only chance to save
America is to elect politicians from the liberty wing of the
GOP, the only elected officials adhering to their oath of
office to support the Constitution.

Taxation
A little boy wanted $100 very badly and prayed for
weeks, but nothing happened. Then he decided to write God a
letter requesting the $100.
When the postal authorities received the letter to God,
USA, they decided to send it to the President. The President
was so amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little
boy a $5 bill.
The President thought this would appear to be a lot of
money to a little boy.
The little boy was delighted with the $5 bill and sat
down to write a thank-you note to God, which read:
“Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the
money. However, I noticed that for some reason you sent it
through Washington, D.C., and those jerks deducted $95 in
taxes.”
