WCA Bull Test 60 Day
Progress Report
The 22nd Annual Washington Cattleman’s Association
sponsored WCA Bull Test has issued a progress report for
the first 60 day test period of their 120 day feed test. 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.
The 60 day and Final (120 day) test results and sale
catalogs are available by mail by contacting the Washington

IRS Pension Update:
New Limits For 2015
By Jason Alderman, Financial Expert, Director of
Practical Money Skills for Life
Is it ever too late to plan for retirement? 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.

USCA Opposes Argentina
Beef Imports
U.S. Cattlemen’s Association
The United States Cattlemen’s Association (USCA) issued
comments this week opposing the proposed importation of
beef products from Northern Argentina. 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.

From Tilth Producers of Washington
WSDA is pleased to announce a new resource to assist
growers with Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs): The
Bridging the GAPs Farm Guide—Good Agricultural Practices and On-Farm Food Safety for Small, Mid-Sized, and
Diversified Fruit and Vegetable Farms.
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!

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.

“We were looking for barberry bushes
around ‘old homesteads’, but I never really
considered our place because it’s still lived
in,” said Doug. “In reality, it’s as old as
anything else around here.”
Doug will destroy that bush early next
spring before it has a chance to transmit
any stem rust spores. 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

we ask for landowner help in eradicating it.

New Year’s Resolutions Are For Pets Too
From James P. 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.

Year’s goal, visit the ACCES Pet Health Blog

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.”

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 more information, visit www.waraw.org.

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.
