Develop a positive attitude toward change B
Recently I watched a fantastic
movie written by Danny Strong and
directed by Lee Daniels titled "The
Butler."
Initially, I wanted to watch the
film simply because it starred so
many of my favorite actors and ac-
tresses. The movie, inspired by a
true story, tells of a White House
butler who served seven American
presidents over three decades. The
film traces the intense changes that
swept American society during this
time, from the Civil Rights Move-
ment to Vietnam and beyond, and
how these events affected this man's
life and family.
Several days after watching the
movie I started to contemplate how
I handle change. Do I embrace it or
do I run from it? Inevitably change
occurs and affects us all in different
ways. Sometimes it is dramatic and
drastic. For others it could be as
easy and welcoming as a sunshiny
day. Change is constant; it is one of
the great constants of the universe,
nothing is as it was a moment ago.
For many, change is a terrifying
word, it evokes fear and uncertainty.
Others thrive on it - seeking it out
whenever they feel like their lives

are too mundane. Whether you love
or loathe change, you have to face
it. The fact is, you will have to deal
with change in your life, but how
you deal with it is all up to you.
Over the years I've come to real-
ize you can find positive in every
circumstance. Take a look at a
changed situation. What is good
about it? What can you learn from
the incident? What can you learn
about yourself? Adjusting your atti-
tude can change a lot. It's not easy -
I certainly know that first hand - but
it's possible. When you're faced
with a difficult situation, look for
the positive. It's there. Sometimes
you might have to look a little
harder, dig a little deeper, but you
are sure to find it if you merely look.
Unless you have been living
under a rock, you will know imme-
diately of the significant change that
we are experiencing across this
great state of ours. Change in our
economy, property tax, population,
landscape, environment, and the list
goes on. In what way have you been
affected?
Acknowledging change as a
process of empowerment will help
ease the pain of any kind of transi-
tion. Attempt to be open minded to
the change that is all around us. I en-
courage you to be willing to learn
the lesson this change has in store.
Accept change as an extraordinary
positive force in your life. I leave
you now with a quote from Charles
Darwin -- "It is not the strongest of
the species that survive, nor the
most intelligent, but the one most re-
sponsive to change."

A new motivation for the obese to skinny-Up
With the fat and obese people
being the fastest growing group in
America, discussion of their condi-
tion has become politically incor-
rect. By that, I mean any politician
expecting victory down the road
can't afford to offend this burgeon-
ing group.
More than one-third of U. S.
adults are obese. When they become
the majority, the slim will be re-
quired to eat carbohydrates. How-
ever, we can't sweep obesity under

budget hawks sided with costly obe-
sity and lobbied for modification of
the healthier school menus.
If the kids don't like healthy gov-
ernment-subsidized lunches, per-
haps they should bring their own
peanut butter sandwiches to school.
That's what many of us did in the
person's body is the temple of the
Holy Spirit so we should honor it.
But what good is grace if you can't
be obese?
So where do we go from here?
Thus far, nothing has slowed the re-
lentless expansion of obesity. As a
last ditch effort, my proposal is to
try taxes.
We have used the tax system to
foster economic development, to
fight urban blight, to help the needy,
to encourage charitable giving, ad
mng:
Early discussions of animal
breeding and selection always
grouped producers into three types,
which were the breeder, multiplier
and commercial producer.
Generally portrayed as a pyra-
mid, the base represented the large
group of commercial producers who
are in the business of producing
products for the consumer. These
producers would obtain breeding
stock from the second level within
the pyramid.
The second level represented
those producers who specialized in
expanding the population of breed-
ing males and females. Their princi-
ple source of income was selling
sires and replacement females to the
commercial producer. As a general
rule of thumb, commercial produc-
ers would neuter all male offspring
and, in some cases, even sell all the
female offspring.
As one would climb the pyramid,
the top represented the elite breed-
ers, those breeders who offered
breeding stock to seedstock produc-
ers for propagation. Our agricultural
friends use the same process be-
cause crop producers may be in-
volved in or have access to breeder,
foundation, registered or certified
seed.
At the top of the pyramid is crop
breeder seed, which is the product of
an intense selection regime that
commonly is referred to as the first
generation. The seed is kept under
close supervision to allow for ap-
propriate regeneration to assure a
source of the seed. As the seed is
further prepared for distribution,
foundation seed is produced or
maintained to assure adequate
preservation of the genetic traits and
associated purity of the seed.
As a genetic line of seed expands
to commercial production, just like

producers for prop-
agation.
commercial production, certain pro-
ducers become certified seed pro-
ducers to produce certified seed.
These producers go to great efforts
to assure certifying agents and their
customers that they have met a sat-
isfactory expectation and their seed
contains the genetic traits the origi-
nal breeder desired to offer to the in-
dustry. There is the assurance that
the seed is pure and not significantly
modified from the original stock.
This process has been going on
for more than a century in livestock
and plants with the expectation of
producing copious amounts of food
to feed people.
As beef producers, the process is
not as structured as the system of
genetic improvement and imple-
mentation that our agricultural
friends have honed. Nevertheless,
the process still is with us. What is
it? Breed associations and expected
progeny differences (EPDs).
vide food for people.
As cattle producers shop for
those genes, it is easy to see what
cattle or sires have the needed DNA.
In contrast to the agricultural indus-
try's structured process for certified
seed, bull buyers depend on breed
associations.
Both processes work well. Breed
associations derive from their data
sets the EPD values that bull buyers
need to have the assurance that the
genes they want are present. Mean-
while, if one reads the tag on a seed
bag, the tag tells the producer what
is in the bag.
At the Dickinson Research Ex-
tension Center, we read tags. We
know what is in the bag or, in this
case, under the hide. The current
Simmental tag says birth weight 2.2
pounds, weaning weight 78 pounds,
yearling weight 109.9 pounds, mar-
bling score 0.07 and rib-eye area
0.99 square inch. The Red Angus tag
reads birth weight minus 0.5 pound,
weaning weight 61 poun~ls, yearling
weight 104 pounds, marbling score
0.43 and rib-eye area 0.38 square
inch.
As a commercial user of bulls,
the center needs to have access to
data to find the genetics desired to
meet the center's goals. Breed asso-
ciations provide and meet that need.
Just like our farming friends, with
proven bulls or certified seed, it
pays to read the tag.
May you find all your ear tags.
