2012 MFBF Equine Directory - Montana Farm Bureau Federation
2 502 S. 19th Ave., Suite 104 Bozeman, MT 59718 Dear fellow horse enthusiast: I’m looking forward to 2012 being a fine year for horse owners. As a quarter horse breeder myself, I’m looking forward to the new crop of colts this spring. Hopefully Mother Nature provides us with lots of rain to keep our grass green and growing. The economic outlook for the industry is looking up due to recent legislation that returns viable options for managing equine operations. We’re proud of the Equine Boosters of MSU for yet again providing a great sale in early May—their Top of the West sale featuring horses from the MSU Colt Breaking Class. Remember that as part of this sale, you support the Equine Boosters of MSU and the MSU Equine Science Program. I personally know of at least two of our MFBF members who have bought colts through the sale and they are very pleased with the quality of their horses. Of course the real value of this directory is letting horse enthusiasts know that Montana Farm Bureau works daily to protect what’s near and dear to horse owners: property rights, clean water and animal care without overregulation. If you’re not a member, join today or upgrade to a Century Club member and encourage all of your friends with horses to do the same. We can’t do this without your support. Visit us at www.mfbf.org. Ride for the Brand, Robert Hanson President 3 President’s Letter. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 2012 Montana Equine Calendar . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 -

She was the 2011 Northern Rodeo Association Champion Breakaway Roper and qualified for the College National Finals Rodeo three times. The 29-year-old co-manages Paradise Equestrian Center in Pray and currently serves on the Montana Farm Bureau Federation (MFBF) Equine Committee. Milee, no stranger to agriculture, has been riding horses all her life and grew up in Park County. Her mother, Gayleen, and father, Marty, have been advocates of agriculture for most of their professional careers and have instilled those values in Milee. Marty Malone recently retired as Montana State University (MSU) Extension agent for Park County after 30 years to begin a new career as county commissioner. Milee’s brother manages a ranch in the valley. The family has been MFBF members since 2000. Milee originally wanted to start a breeding barn after receiving her degree in equine science, and still hopes to in the future. Milee is a professional trainer specializing in roping, and co-managing the Center with Brooke Sene. The two women have made the Center a premier training and boarding facility, working together since 2008. When asked, “What is your number-one hint for all future barn managers?” Milee responded, “Communication between coworkers, employees and clients. Most problems can be resolved if people just talk.” When she is not working at the Center, Milee is on the road with her mom chasing the rodeo circuit. This past year, she and her 12 year old mare, “Baybee” (who she raised and trained) won the Northern Rodeo Association Champion Breakaway. The motivated rider hopes to do as well in the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association and qualify for the National Finals Rodeo in the future. Besides managing the facility with 50 horses and clients, a constant cycle of six horses/clients in training, and winning national titles, Milee makes time to promote the equine industry. Milee has been a member of the Montana Farm Bureau Federation for six years and served on the MFBF Equine Committee for two years. As a committee member, Milee educates people on issues involved and ways they can be solved. “I feel it’s important to not only talk to people involved with horses, as well as those who know nothing about them, and let them know where equine professionals stand on a number of issues, including property and water rights, animal care, and environmental stewardship,” notes Milee. 26 She accomplishes this at the national level by serving on the American Farm Bureau Federation’s Equine Committee. Milee’s input on these committees allows the grassroots organization to vote and create policy concerning equine issues.

If you come to a sale to buy a horse, what should you do first? Homework starts at home. Your shopping should begin before you ever get to the sale. First, decide what you really want. Do you want a trail horse, rope horse, gentle kid’s horse, ranch horse, or a combo? Knowing what you want helps in finding the right horse for you. Keep yourself focused and refuse to be distracted by horses that don’t “fit the bill.” Your “search” begins when you weed through the consignments and form your “short list.” At Billings Livestock, we update our webpage as horses come in, sometimes daily, for this very reason – it allows our customers to keep any eye on consignments from home and then call the consignor. Visit with them about the horse. Ask questions. If the horse is in close proximity, go try the horse. Video is a big help. We encourage videos, and many consignors send in links to a video on a specific horse. If the horse is five states away, find out when they are coming to BLS; many consignors come the day prior to the sale, and so should you. As our time, resources, fuel, and pocketbook limit us, horse sales allow the buyer to see a considerable number of horses that fit their requirements all in one place, all in one weekend, and all offered for sale. Plan to make the horse sale your destination for that weekend to find your horse. Attend the previews, walk by the horses in their pens, watch what goes on and take a good look at what you are planning to buy. Then, if it fits, do it. Once you raise your hand and buy, what happens next? Once you have purchased your new horse, go out and make sure he is fine in his pen. At BLS, horses go back to the pens/stalls they came from to minimize any issues. Make sure your new horse has hay, water, and all looks good. He is now yours. If you have completed your buying, go to the office and settle up. You will receive your registration papers, transfer, any other support material at that time. In Montana, a brand inspection is proof of ownership. You will receive your health certificate, negative Coggins test papers and brand inspection at the LOAD OUT chute once your horse is 36 checked out. Health and Coggins are written in accordance with your state requirements. If you live in Montana, you will not need a health or Coggins. If you want to sell your horse, what to do? If you want to sell your horse, make sure you want to sell your horse. People can tell a mile away if you are serious or not and with every passing day, will not spend their time, resources, and energy researching horses any further once they get the “well, if he brings the big bucks, then maybe we’ll sell him”, or “If he goes to the right place, then maybe we’ll sell him.” There are way too many other horses out there that will sell and buyers will concentrate their efforts on those horses. Ever notice why complete dispersion sales are well attended? People know the horses will sell. Have him look, ride, and be at his/her best. All shapes, sizes, classes, and conditions will sell, but if you want to do the best job, have your horse ready to sell. Get him in shape and get shoes on at least a week prior to the sale, and be generally “ready.” Styles change, too; with ranch horses and using geldings, save the clippers and do not clip or trim ears, fetlocks, or pull manes or tails. Honest. What to expect of your horse in the ring and after the sale. Rarely does a horse really act up in the sale ring UNLESS he/she has an unresolved issue or two that came with him. Barn-soured horses show their colors by “riding you” and sticking their head back out the gate they came in or doing a dance to get back out the gate. The majority of the broke horses just “ride nice.” I think people make the mistake of stopping to talk every other lap around the sale ring and that makes the horse nervous to stand still. Keep motion, show your horse. If you have catalogued your horse, the announcer and auctioneer already have the information you submitted. You certainly can add to it, but remember, the better job you do riding, the better your horse will show, and that translates into the better your horse will sell. All in all, horses are just fine in the sale arena. At BLS, your success is our success. We want to do the best job we can for both our buyers and sellers. We will help you – on either side of it – to market your horse and to do our best job of selling your horse, and help those who are looking for a “certain” horse do their research. We want a win-win. BLS is Montana’s oldest market at 77 years of operation, and began as a horse and mule auction. Today, we are proud to be America’s number-one horse market. It matters to us.

Montana Ag Safety Program 62 63 Manure and Hay Matters By Celine Duncan, DowAgroSciences Noxious and invasive weeds can cause serious problems on rangeland and pastures in Montana. Herbicides are a very effective tool for controlling these weeds and helping protect Montana’s agricultural industry and the biological diversity of its forests and wildlife. When noxious weeds are treated with herbicides, forage from herbicide-treated pasture may be consumed by horses and other livestock. These herbicides can pass through the animals’ digestive tracts unchanged and are excreted in urine and manure. If manure, hay used for bedding, mulch, or compost materials (e.g. grass clippings, manure, hay) containing herbicide residues are applied to fields or gardens, herbicide damage may occur to certain broadleaf vegetables, flowers or other sensitive crops. If you buy hay for your animals, ask the hay producer or seller which herbicides, if any, were used in producing the hay. Obtain a copy of the herbicide label from a farmer or online (at www.cdms.net/LabelsMsds/LMDefault.aspx), and refer to the Use Precautions and Restrictions section. If you do not know the herbicide history of the hay, do not sell or give away the manure from animals that consumed the hay for use in growing plants or making compost. Manures that contain herbicide residues can be safely spread on grass pastures, rangelands, grass hayfields, corn or grass grown for seed. If you raise or purchase grass hay, make sure you know if any herbicides were used on the hay prior to your possession. Producers and retailers of hay must communicate that herbicide-treated forages and plant matter converted into manure are not usable as a fertilizer, soil amendment or compost in areas used for growing broadleaf plants. Landowners should know and maintain a written record of the herbicides applied to their fields. Upon selling products of herbicide treated inputs, sellers must inform purchasers of herbicide label use precautions. Remember, it is important to read and follow herbicide labels so land managers and horse enthusiasts can appreciate how to use their manure and livestock bedding in a manner that keeps it from damaging gardens and other sensitive plants such as ornamentals. Additional information and guidelines for managing herbicide carryover in manure, hay and other products is available online at www.pesticides.montana.edu/PAT/Coordinators/non-target%20plant%20toxicity/ index.html or aminopyralidstewardshipinstructions.com or contact your local MSU Extension agent to develop a manure management plan. Note: Depending on the herbicide used, it takes three-to-seven days feeding on nontreated forage for most animals’ digestive tracts to produce manure clear of any herbicide residue. Consult the appropriate product label for specific information. 64 65 66 67 What Exactly is the Montana Farm Bureau Federation? You’re probably wondering what the Montana Farm Bureau Federation (MFBF) is and what we can do for you. Lots. In short, MFBF cares for the country and we can help ensure a stronger equine industry and save you money. Montana Farm Bureau Federation and American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) were formed in 1919 for the purpose of making the business of farming and ranching more profitable and your community a better place to live. MFBF is an independent, non-governmental, voluntary organization with its roots in agriculture. Farm Bureau is an organization where members secure the benefits of united efforts in a way that could never be accomplished through individual efforts. MFBF is the Montana’s largest agricultural organization. MFBF is made up of over 18, 000 member families. Each November, volunteer leaders nominate members for each of the fifteen commodity advisory committees, including equine. In June, the committees meet to discuss issues and propose ways to address those issues. This information is taken back to the county Farm Bureaus. The county Farm Bureaus discuss resolutions to be presented at the state convention. There, amendments and new policy is voted on by members. This all goes into the policy book. This policy book designates what the MFBF supports and disapproves. MFBF’s three lobbyists use this policy to represent the 18, 000 member families in Helena. Workers’ compensation, horse processing, and private property rights are just some of the issues. If national in scope, this policy is taken to the American Farm Bureau Federation convention and MFBF members propose policy to put in the AFBF policy book. These policies are voted on by state delegates nationwide and is the voice of one of the most influential organizations in Washington, DC. Besides Farm Bureau by making your one voice heard and helping protect the industry you love, by becoming a member you receive benefits to help with your home and business. Is your old truck starting to lose its luster? Check out MFBF’s GM discount. Members now receive a $500 discount on each qualifying Chevrolet, GMC or Buick vehicle they purchase or lease—that includes all the trucks. Flying to a rodeo or show and can’t seem to find a good deal on a hotel or rental car? Members receive a discount on Avis, or Thrifty car rentals. Hotel rooms are cheaper at Choice Hotels and Wyndham Hotels. So that’s what Montana Farm Bureau Federation is in a nutshell and what we can do for you.
