1 January 2018 Show Bull of the Year, Oatley's Farm Sambuca B US Beltie News President Dawson Masters excited about the breed. Happy New Year!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and you were able to spend time with family and friends. In 2010, we took two steers to show in Louisville, Kentucky. We didn t have a clue of what we were getting into. But we were very excited about the breed and getting to show them. We couldn t wait! Something happened while at Louisville that I will never forget, and I will always will love, the great people in this breed. I would like to take the opportunity to thank Lisa Lovett from Oregon, Illinois for her many years of dedication to the Belted Galloway breed. Lisa has served as a member of Council and as an officer. She recently made the decision to retire from Council and we wish her all the best. In the line of natural progression, the role of president came to me. In my opinion, it is necessary to thank all of the folks who have served on Council present and past. It is a big job! It is also important that members know each person on the Council. I am asking each Council member to introduce themselves in the newsletter each month, explain why they are in this breed, and why they accepted the position to serve. As President, I will start! My name is Dawson Masters from Malone, Texas. I ve been a member of the Belted Galloway Society since My late wife Debbie and I purchased three heifers and a bull calf from Rebekah Drury in Dublin, Texas. Once we had our cattle, we couldn t wait to get more. We had the opportunity to be at the Annual Meeting in Flagstaff, Arizona. We, along with several other people from Texas, discussed forming a regional group. After returning home to Texas, we started the process of forming what is now known as the Southwest Belted Galloway. As Debbie and I were getting more involved in the breed and adding to our herd, we became more and more We arrived at Louisville not having a clue of what we were doing or even how to set up our stalls. Not long after we got there, a member came up to Debbie and asked if she could help. This person not only helped us, she even clipped our steers for us. Oh boy, she had plenty of her own cattle to deal with but she took time out to help us. Another fine example was the time Debbie and I bought a heifer from another breeder from the Northeast. After several attempts with different bulls, the heifer would not breed. Three years later, the breeder asked about that heifer. When I told him the story, he did not hesitate. Not only did he replace her with a new cow that was already bred, he also drove the animal from the Northeast part of the United States all the way to Texas without expecting any fuel money. I guess when people ask me why someone would volunteer to be on the Council, or be an officer and put up with all the headaches, I have to say it s simple for me. It is because of the cattle, the people, and the memory of a woman that was so excited about this breed! I really hope we can bring back that type of excitement to the shows and the Society. Don t you remember how excited you were when you got your first Belted Galloway?

5 2017 Show Point Awards Congratulations to all our 2017 Point Show Awards! The Belted Galloway breed represented at shows and exhibitions throughout the country is one of the best (if not the best) ways to market our animals. We wish to recognize the hard work of our members and their investment (it costs a lot of money to show cattle). In addition to the winners announced here, we would like to thank everyone who exhibited cattle in Breeder and Exhibitor of the Year, Sunnybrook Farms located in Belvidere, Illinois is owned by the Terry and Julie Willis family. The farm is based around 25 proven Belted Galloway females. This year especially marked a significant milestone for them, when they realized that for over 15 years the generational success has been repeated throughout the cow families and the Belted Galloway breed. Their 12 oldest females ranging in age from 8-15-yearsold, have all produced and or received show point recognition. The Willis family has also owned and or produced 28 females and 13 bulls that have earned lifetime achievement awards. The family breeds their Belted Galloway cattle for the combination of quality, carcass, and conformation that will perform in the show ring and in the pasture. They shared, This is not just a fancy saying for marketing, but the foundation we have used for developing our herd over the years. The Willis family values the support they have received over the years. Especially from their sons, Steve and Chris, along with Adam McConnell. They stated, This award could not have been achieved without the help of our awesome customers and Beltie friends. We would like to sincerely thank all of our Beltie friends who have helped us throughout the show season. And thank you to all of our customers, especially the juniors, from coast-to-coast that have had confidence in our program. Over the past 16 years, Sunnybrook Farms has implemented the use of production records, DNA trait identification, and carcass results from ultrasound and slaughter data, and recently added IVF to further the predictability of the offspring produced in their herd. The end result is a uniform and consistent calf crop. Our motto We don t breed show cattle, we show breeding cattle is very important to us. The Willis family stated, Being named Breeder of the Year is the ultimate praise for our breeding program! Show Female of the Year, Oatley's Farm Hera A39864-B M3 was bred by Victoria Oatley Exeter, Rhode Island, and is owned by Ethan Oatley. Hera is sired by the two-time Sire of the Year and Platinum Lifetime Award Winner Southdown Unique 9U B. Her dam was the 2014 Reserve National Champion Female and now Platinum Lifetime Award Winner TSVM Ophelia B. Hera is recognized by her extralarge belt and white above her front pastern on her show side. Because of her markings she was not able to be shown with the purebreds until the Society rule change in Hera is described as having an extra-long spine, deep-ribbed and extremely powerful. These qualities helped her win several Champions at many different shows this season, including Grand Champion Belted Female at The Big E, the second largest Belted Galloway show in the United States during Honorable Mention: Pine View Clementine 76C 39651B. Show Bull of the Year, Oatley's Farm Sambuca B (pictured on the front cover) is bred and owned by Ethan Oatley of Exeter, Rhode Island. Sambuca is sired by the 2012 Reserve National Champion Bull and now Platinum Lifetime Award Winner Driftwood Sonic B. He was born weighing a whopping 50 pounds as the first calf out of the 2015 Show Female of the Year and now Gold Lifetime Award Winner, Oatley's Farm Ivy B. Sambuca is extra heavily muscled, soundstructured, chiseled-fronted, super eye appealing from the side profile, and just an overall complete powerhouse. Dr. Clint Rusk used the words, "This bull is going to change the breed," after he picked him as Supreme Overall Bull at the 2017 Fryeburg Fair in Maine, which hosted the largest Belted Galloway show in United States history. Sambuca was named either Grand Champion or Reserve Champion Belted Galloway Bull at every show he went to this year. He was awarded Grand Champion Belted Galloway Bull at The Big E (which was the second largest Belted Galloway show in the country this year) and Reserve National Champion Bull at the National Belted Galloway Show at NAILE. Honorable Mention: Oatley s Farm Bugatti 39865B. Show Cow Calf of the Year, Sunnybrook Alexis 29180B is bred and owned by Steve Willis at Sunnybrook Farms, Belvidere, Illinois. She is sired by Platinum and two times Sire of the Year, Linetree s Pistol Pete, 9535B. Her Platinum Dam, Sunnybrook Elaine, 24684B was past show Female of the Year and current Dam of the Year.
