The test is located 15 miles north of the Tri-Cities, WA at the Bonina Feed and Sale Facility at Eltopia, WA and is be under the sponsorship of the Washington Cattleman Association. One hundred thirty-three bulls are being tested this year, comprised of Angus, Red Angus, Horned and Polled Herefords, Simmentals and SimAngus. These bulls represent the top genetics from the Northwest’s top seed stock producing herds. A high percentage of the bulls on test are sired by top nationally known A.I. sires. These bulls range in age from January 1, 2014 to March 31, 2014. Performance records such as birth, weaning and yearling weights and EPDs are available. Bulls will be ultra-sounded for rib eye, marbling, and fat thickness and the actual results with EPDs and $ Beef Values will be posted prior to the sale. Every bull has tested negative for BVD, tested trich-free and certified to be virgin bulls. Semen and breeding evaluations will be conducted by an accredited veterinarian. “We have tightened up the health and performance requirements” said Loren Hagen, WCA Breeds Committee Chairman. He went on to say “This emphasis on health and performance will assure buyers of a quality product. The first 60 day weights show a gain of 3 plus pounds per day. This is about what we are looking for to express their performance while keeping the bulls sound and not over fed.” Only the top end of the bulls of each breed will be allowed to sell, based on the Test Final Station Index (1/2 ADG and ½ Adjusted Yearling Weight Index), structure, physical, and breeding soundness evaluation. A Low Birth EPD section for Angus and Hereford will be separated. To qualify for this division an Angus bull must record a +2.0 BEPD or less, a CED of +7 or more and an actual birth weight of 85 pounds or less. In addition, both the sire and dam must have a birth EPD of +2.0 or less. The Hereford bulls must record an actual birth weight of 80 lbs. or less and post a BEPD of 2.0 or less and a CED of +2.0 or greater to qualify. Additionally, both the sire and dam should record a BEPD of +3.5 or less. Genetic profile enhancement through DNA samples will be used again this year on many of the bulls selling. This genetic tool conducted by Igentiy and Pfizer lends more reliability to the EPD’s calculated for each individual animal. Thus, buyers will be able to make better choices for their individual breeding programs because of this increased reliability. The 120 day test will end on March 1, 2015. At that time breeding soundness exams, semen tests and ultra-sound data will be compiled prior to the March 25, 2015 sale. LiveAuctionsTV will be involved with the sale as well as pre-sale videos. They will post the videos of individual bulls on their website after March 1st and will be conducting internet bidding in real time during the sale. These videos and live biddings will be conducted on their website: liveauctions.tv A social hour and forum, hosted by the Washington Cattlemen’s Association, will be conducted at 5:00 pm March 24th with featured speakers on topics of interest to the cattle industry. The sale is scheduled for March 25, 2015 at the Bonina Feed and Sale Facility in Eltopia, WA. The WCA Allied Industries members will sponsor a trade show. Starting at 8:00 am sale day, this trade show will include booths and presentations of interest to livestock producers. A complimentary tri-tip barbeque lunch will also be held at the trade show. All of these events are free, thanks to the sponsorship of the WCA Allied Industry members. The bulls can be viewed at any time at the Bonina facility located 15 miles north of Pasco, WA. Progress reports can be viewed on the Washington Cattleman Association website, www.washingtoncattlemen.org.

No, as long as you’re willing to be thrifty and extend your working years and be mindful of your individual and employer-based retirement savings options. Building a successful, comfortable retirement depends on a variety of individual factors, including where you live, how long you plan to work, your health and your other investments and assets. The IRS recently announced an update for your options, including cost-of-living adjustments that will give many taxpayers the advantage of putting more away during 2015. Here’s a summary: • Regular contribution limits for 401(k), 403(b), most 457 plans, and the federal employee Thrift Savings Plan. Increased from $17,500 (for tax year 2014) to $18,000 (for tax year 2015). The catch-up contribution limit for employees aged 50 in these plans is increased from $5,500 to $6,000. Contribution deadline: Dec. 31. • Annual contribution limits, Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA). For both traditional and Roth IRAs, the annual contribution limit is not subject to a cost-of-living adjustment and remains at $5,500. The over-50 catch-up contribution amount is $1,000. There are particular restrictions (http:// www.irs.gov/publications/p590/index.html) based on income levels, workplace retirement plan coverage among other issues. Contribution deadline: April 15. • Higher 2015 income phase-out levels for traditional IRA contributions. For singles covered by a workplace retirement plan, the 2015 cutoff is now increased to a modified adjusted gross income (AGI) between $61,000 and $71,000. The IRS website details other significant increases and updates in phase-out levels for married couples and singles. • Higher 2015 income phase-out levels for Roth IRA contributions. The IRS website also updates higher phaseout levels for married and single taxpayers on its website. For married couples filing jointly, the 2015 level is now $183,000 to $193,000. Here’s what you can do if you’re in your 50s and you haven’t yet saved much for retirement: • Get qualified financial advice. Organizations such as the Association for Financial Counseling Planning and Education (http://members.afcpe.org/search), Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards list qualified financial advisors, and your state CPA society can suggest tax professionals in your area. • Budget and downsize. Want to retire? Start living like a retiree while you’re still working. Most experts believe late starters (50 and over) need to put away at least 10 percent of gross income to start making headway. Create a realistic budget, trim debt and consider cheaper housing, transportation and lifestyle options. • Take advantage of “catch-up” contribution limits. Retirement savers over the age of 50 have the option to put more away not only in traditional and Roth IRAs but also 401(k) plans ‘Äì not including SIMPLE 401(k)s, 403(b) plans, SARSEP and 457(b) plans (see Annual contribution limits, IRAs above). • Keep working strategically. If you’re lucky, you love your work or are in a position to change careers to one with better retirement savings options. If so, consult an expert on ways to keep earning and investing effectively. Bottom line: The government’s cost-of-living adjustments will allow you to save more for retirement in 2015, but don’t wait until then to evaluate your goals to set—or reset—your retirement planning going forward.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal Health and Plant Inspection Services (APHIS) issued a notice on August 29th that would allow regions in Northern Argentina to resume imports of beef products into the U.S. USCA’s comments focused on the ongoing concerns of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) in the country and surrounding region. USCA President Danni Beer, Keldron, South Dakota, commented on the proposed notice, “USCA firmly believes that the USDA-APHIS needs to take a step back from this proposed notice and consider the potential ramifications such action could have on the U.S. cattle industry.” “The health of the U.S. cattle herd is USCA’s primary concern. The U.S. has maintained a status of FMD-free by the World Health Organization for decades; to put this status and the safety of our herd in jeopardy requires an in-depth and lengthy process, focused on producer and industry input. U.S. producers do not take the issue of FMD lightly and neither should the Administration.” USCA’s comments focused on the proposed region’s proximity to areas within Argentina and South America still known to have FMD in addition to concerns regarding the impact of wildlife and the current protocol utilized by Northern Argentina for the detection and management of the virus. As stated in USCA’s comments, Argentina has had multiple detected cases of FMD since 2000 and “Every safeguard and prevention measure must be firmly in place before any discussions should be initiated regarding trade with a region or continent known to have FMD.” Beer concluded, “The health of our country’s cattle herd is not worth the risk of opening trade with this region. USCA has requested the USDA-APHIS to reconsider the proposed notice for trade with Northern Argentina and will continue to oppose any action taken on this issue before industry concerns are properly addressed.” January 2015, “The Growers’ Guide” Page C9 Optics continued from page C8 Park’s hot springs by accounting for each pool’s spectral reflection due to microbial mats, their optical absorption and scattering of water and the incident solar and diffuse skylight conditions present when measurements were taken. “When we started the study, it was clear we were just doing it for fun,” Vollmer said. But they quickly discovered there was very little in the scientific literature on the subject. That’s when things got interesting. In the summer of 2012, Vollmer, on sabbatical from the Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences, travelled with Shaw and Nugent to the park. Using handheld spectrometers, digital SLR cameras for visible images and infrared thermal imaging cameras for non-contact measurement of the water temperatures, the group took measurements at a number of pools in Yellowstone, including Morning Glory Pool, Sapphire Pool and Grand Prismatic Spring. Using these data, along with previously available information about the physical dimensions of the pools, they were able to create a simple model whose renderings of the pools were strikingly similar to actual photographs. In the case of Morning Glory Pool, they were even able to simulate what the pool once looked like between the 1880’Äôs and 1940’Äôs, when its temperatures were significantly higher. During this time, its waters appeared a uniform deep blue. An accumulation of coins, trash and rocks over the intervening decades has partially obscured the underwater vent, lowering the pool’s overall temperature and shifting its appearance to a terrace of orange-yellow-green. This change from blue was demonstrated to result from the change in composition of the microbial mats, as a result of the lower water temperature. A general relationship between shallow water temperature (hence microbial mat composition) and observed colors was confirmed in this study. However, color patterns observed in deeper segments of the pool are caused more by absorption and scattering of light in the water. These characteristics— mats having greater effect on color in shallow water, and absorption and scattering winning out in the deeper areas—are consistent across all the measured pools. “Our paper describes a very simple, one-dimensional model, that gives the first clue if you really want to do more,” Vollmer said. “We didn’t start this project as experts on thermal pools,” Shaw said. “We started this project as experts on optical phenomena and imaging, and so we had a lot to learn.” “There are people at my university who are world experts in the biological side of what’s going on in the pools,” Shaw said. “They’re looking for ways to monitor changes in the biology— when the biology changes, that causes color changes— so we’re actually looking at possibilities of collaborating in the future.” Nugent, Vollmer and Shaw are continuing their research, delving further into infrared imaging at Yellowstone National Park.

The guide is part of WSDA’s Bridging the GAPs project, which focuses on communicating effective food safety strategies, providing information on regulatory changes, and sharing marketplace guidance for small, mid-sized and diversified farms. The guide captures lessons learned from the project team’s outreach and education—including farm walks, GAP auditor trainings, survey work, and industry engagement. The guide is free, either in print or for download in English and in Spanish. You’ll find detailed descriptions of Good Agricultural Practices arranged sequentially to follow the order of the USDA GAP/GHP Audit Checklist—which an auditor would follow during the on-farm portion of a GAP audit. With food safety top of mind for much of the food system, the time is right to bring more guidance and more information on this important topic for small, mid-sized and diversified farms. Look for: • Tips from WSDA GAP Auditors • On-Farm Examples • Examples of low-cost solutions to common on-farm food safety risks • Easy-to-use forms for developing your farm’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) • Fillable templates to help with writing a Food Safety Plan • A thumb drive with web-based links, and detailed information on key issues such as water quality, and the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) In addition to electronic download, you may also pick up a guide at the following events, or email to arrange to pick one up at a WSDA regional office!

By Diana Roberts, Regional Extension Specialist, Spokane/Lincoln Counties “Yep, this bush cost me $30,000 this year,” said the barley grower as he stood looking at a good-sized, spiny bush with bright red, oblong berries. No, not holly. You guessed it—common barberry! Doug Falstad first contacted me in August 2007, saying his barley field near Addy in Stevens County, WA, was yielding virtually no grain and clouds of black dust blew up behind the combine as he tried to harvest it. Xianming Chen, rust pathologist with the USDA-ARS in Pullman, pronounced it the worst case of cereal stem rust he’d ever seen. The stem rust pathogen, Puccinia graminis, is unique in that it requires an alternate host, the common barberry, for it to complete its lifecycle. Stem rust can cause 100% yield loss in wheat and barley fields, and is worse when there is rainfall well into the summer months and nights are warm and humid. We seldom experience these conditions in the Inland Northwest, though in 2012 stem rust was found in many spring grain fields in Whitman, Spokane, and Stevens Counties. Outbreaks were common in the early 20th century in many of the northern, wheat growing states across the US. However, the federal government implemented a program to eradicate common barberry plants that had been brought in by settlers, and thus prevent stem rust epidemics. In the 1980s, the eradication effort was deemed successful and the program ended. A few incidences of stem rust similar to Doug Falstad’s indicated that common barberry plants were re-growing in the region or had been missed by the eradication crews. A landowner 15 miles east of Colville reported having common barberry on his land—but that was too far away to affect Falstad’s fields. Doug continued to have problems with stem rust, but we couldn’t find the source. In the fall 2 years ago, he and I even drove to nearby homesteads where records showed the federal teams had eradicated common barberry, but we found nothing. On December 1, 2014, I addressed this topic at a workshop in Stevens County, where another farmer reported reduced grain yield and clouds of black dust this past harvest. I passed out copies of a brand new WSU Extension bulletin, “The Control of Common Barberry to Reduce Stem Rust of Wheat and Barley” http://cru.cahe.wsu.edu/CEPublications/ FS151E/FS151E.pdf. Later that week came a text message from Doug and a photo “is this barberry?” “Looks like it to me, where is it?” Bright yellow bark and 3 spines at leaf bases are diagnostic for common barberry plants. “Ummmmmmm, this is embarrassing—my mother’s yard. Never glanced at the thing until today.” “Oh, LOL!” Doug has a great sense of humor and is willing to let others learn from his oversight. But it’s got to hurt—his barley crops in the nearby flats have suffered from stem rust infection most years since 2007. However, that barberry bush has been growing in the Falstad’s yard, about 20 ft from Doug’s boyhood bedroom window, for over 40 years. Why did the problems begin only in 2007? Doug’s mother filled us in on the bush’s history. Her mother-in-law was given a tiny barberry plant by a neighbor who called it a “holy bush” or “crown of thorns” due to its spiny nature. Probably because the plant was small at the time, the site escaped being listed by the eradication crews who visited Stevens County in 1959, 1965, and 1974. The bush is growing 10 feet from a field that was in pasture “forever” until Doug converted it to annual barley production about 5 years ago. A susceptible crop growing in a sub-irrigated flat right beside the pesky barberry bush created a perfect storm of conditions for the stem rust fungus! Once barley in that field was infected, stem rust spores blew easily to other fields nearby. continued on page C11 January 2015, “The Growers’ Guide” Page C11 Moving?

But we agreed that it’s highly likely there are more common barberry bushes out there. “I’m going to grow a different barley variety and apply a fungicide this year,” continued Doug. “I can’t afford any more losses.” Scientists are concerned that the Inland Northwest could be the source of new races of stem rust that develop on barberry plants here and are then blown over the mountains to areas where the pathogen is a more common problem. Common barberry is a Class C Noxious Weed in Washington State, and we ask for landowner help in eradicating it. If you want to know whether your area was In S tock visited by the barberry eradication crews, email your address or GPS coordinates to Tim Murray, WSU Extension Plant Pathologist at [email protected] We have a small supply of Imazapyr herbicide available, while supplies last, for landowners to use if they find barberry on their property.

Judge, BluePearl Media & Public Relations Manager Doctors from ACCES (A BluePearl Veterinary Partners Hospital) encourage you to consider your pet when setting your New Year’s resolutions for 2015. Whether getting back into shape or making that plan to hit the trails, the New Year can signal a fresh start to a healthier routine for pets and owners alike. “Maybe it is time to focus on finally getting that extra weight off your beloved companion,” said Dr. Beth Davidow, ACCES medical director. “Or, perhaps it is time to schedule that long overdue dental. Just remember that you are your pet’s best advocate and change starts with you.” The ACCES medical team recommends the following resolutions for you and your pet in 2015: • Ensure your pet receives an appropriate diet. Weight gain in pets, just like in humans, can increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease and arthritis. If you notice your pet has packed on a few pounds or seems lethargic, schedule an exam with your veterinarian to discuss weight loss. • Schedule an annual exam with your family veterinarian. Even if your pet has never had an illness, these exams are important to establish a good health and can be crucial in detecting emerging disease. For older pets on medications, a yearly exam is an important part of the monitoring process. Anti-inflammatories for arthritis, thyroid supplements, seizure medications, and insulin are some examples of medications that need to be closely monitored. • Try a to be more active with your pet or incorporate more playtime into your routine. Dogs and cats alike need a healthy amount of activity in their daily lives to keep fit and mentally stimulated, and you too will reap the rewards of more exercise. • Keep up on your pet’s grooming needs. Brushing your pet helps keep their coat shiny and healthy while providing a unique opportunity to spend quality time bonding with your pet. Untrimmed nails can be painful for your pet while regularly trimmed nails will protect your clothes and furniture. • Make oral hygiene care with your pet a priority. Dental hygiene is also extremely important. Regular dental cleanings are recommended for both cats and dogs. Some pet owners may be reluctant due to cost and the need for general anesthesia, but the benefits often outweigh the cost. Dental cleanings focus on removing the tartar visible on teeth and can improve the health of gingiva. • Update your pet’s microchip and tags. Time and time again, lost pets brought to the shelter or emergency animal clinic have out of date tags and microchips. Over the course of a year, people move, get new numbers and forget to update their pet’s tags. Updating ID information is the best way to ensure a lost pet makes its way safely home. • Pet proof your home and property. Make sure you know what plants and foods are toxic to your pet and keep those well out of reach. Also, make sure electrical cords, strings and other easy to swallow items are safely secured.

Groups Asks For Specific Data Related To Predator From Washington Residents Against Wolves In a continuing effort to bring better discussion and attention to the wolf issue in Eastern Washington, Washington Residents Against Wolves (WARAW) has asked the Washington State Fish and Wildlife Department(WDFW) to disclose information crucial to wolf management. “We are very concerned that management of the wolf is becoming a spontaneous affair by WDFW that is not guided by data and is not following the state wolf management plan,” said WARAW spokesman Luke Hedquist. “We believe that real, regionally specific data needs to be used in order for management to be solid.” Data the group is asking for includes ungulate counts for Eastern Washington and the anticipated prey demands of the 12 wolf packs that already inhabit the region. WARAW is concerned that the data in regards to available prey has not been thorough and has not considered the demands of other predators like cougars, bears and coyotes, for instance. “The state wolf management plan notes that predators like cougars have had poor body condition and survival rates in other areas where wolves recolonized, but makes no attempt to determine the prey needs of both species in terms of numbers in Eastern Washington,” Hedquist said. “Without knowing how much prey our current predators like cougars and bears need, how can we be sure there is enough left for wolves? There is just a huge body of data that is missing.” Impacts to ungulate herds and how herd declines will be quantified is also of particular concern to the group. “The state plan says that if ungulates numbers in the state drop below 25 percent of their objective for two years that wolf reductions could be considered, but the way WDFW currently determines populations is on hunter harvest reports,” said Hedquist. “Essentially, that’s counting the dead animals, not the live ones.” continued on page C14 January 2015, “The Growers’ Guide” Page C13 FOR '49 FORD, truck, flathead 6-cylinder engine, runs ..$500 SALE KRAUSE, 24' light disk, on rubber, wing-up ..... $3,000 (509) 843-3595 • Cell (509) 566-7049 PRAIRIE FAB & REPAIR, INC.

Box 165, Walla Walla 99362 (509) 529-1761 In an effort to encourage the state to start collecting the needed data, WARAW recently sent a letter to WDFW, asking the Department disclose what data is actually available and what is not. WARAW also wants to know why WDFW has not started any of the environmental assessments to determine if wolves can be translocated to other regions of the state in order to satisfy the state recovery goals for wolves. The Wolf Management and Conservation plan calls for 15 breeding pairs in three different regions on the state, but despite growing numbers in Eastern Washington and mounting wolf conflicts, translocation is being ignored. “We all know that the state and federal environmental assessments needed for translocation can take several years and should have been started much sooner,” said Hedquist. “At this point WDFW has not even taken the first step in this direction. It really questions how committed they are to wolf recovery as outlined by the plan.” Hedquist said by pushing for data, translocation and better management WARAW is working to see wolf management transition from “social management” to management driven by facts and reality. “What we know about wolf reintroduction is that it was a purely emotional move driven by sentiment and politics, not by science and data,” said Hedquist. “However, in Washington this just isn’t going to be good enough. We want management based on reality, not feelings. While WDFW has said before that they are ‘socially managing’ wolves, we have to demand more than that. We must pursue data and be realistic about the impacts and the dangers. It’s time for Washingtonians to wake up.” WARAW is composed of citizens concerned about the humane treatment of animals, effective wildlife management, private property rights, safe recreational access in the great outdoors and preventing the killing and maiming of domestic animals.

For some, the ‘”do-it-yourself” approach is challenging. Some may prefer a weight-management group, while others prefer individual diet counseling. If you decide to join a program, heed this advice from the Weight Information Network. Safe and effective weight-loss programs include 1) a plan to keep the weight off, 2) provide guidance on how to develop healthier eating and physical activity habits, 3) provide ongoing feedback, monitoring and support, and 4) set slow and steady weight-loss goals of 0.5 to 2 pounds per week. If you decide you want to see a health professional about weight loss, check his or her credentials. A “nutritionist” does not necessarily have training in nutrition. A registered dietitian has a degree in nutrition, has completed hundreds of internship hours, passed a national registration examination and participates in continuing education. Some have advanced certifications in weight management. Licensed nutritionists have advanced training in nutrition, and most have a bachelor’s degree in nutrition. They also must complete continuing education to maintain their license. Extension agents/assistants are employed in many communities throughout North Dakota. All have had training in nutrition. Some are dietitians or licensed nutritionists, and many offer classes in food preparation and nutrition. As we begin a new year, start your day out right.
