THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE BELTED GALLOWAY SOCIETY, INC.

US Beltie News Arkansas and Louisiana Bound

President Jon Bednarski After a month of catching up at our farm, Sylvia and I headed for Russellville, Arkansas, to the location of Galloway Farm and owners Bill and Judy Galloway. Arkansas has 134 registered Belted Galloway cattle and 11 member farms. We were to meet Bill and Judy at their home in town and then drive a few miles out to visit their farm. As we pulled into their main street home, I knew that Sylvia and I were in for a special

treat. As I knocked on the door, I noticed a National Register of Historic Places plaque to the side. Being passionate about unique homes, I couldn't wait to view the inside of their beautiful home. Bill and Judy bought their 1909 historic home in 1976 and they are the home’s fourth owners of it.

Bill, a dermatologist, and Judy, a retired pharmacist, lead very active lives. Bill keeps very busy on the farm and enjoys kayaking. He also collects antique banjos, fiddles, mandolins, and guitars and he plays with a local band. Judy has been hands-on with the extensive ongoing restoration of their home. She still seems to find time to keep up the beautiful gardens that surround their home. After a tour of their magnificent home, we headed out for a visit of their 62-acre farm, which they bought in 1984. Bill originally raised Simmentals, but after several years, he wanted to switch breeds. Interestingly, while on a skiing trip to Colorado he noticed a Beltie bumper sticker on a car and, since his last name is Galloway, he thought maybe this was the change he was searching for! The Galloway Farm’s first cattle came from Mississippi around 1995 and another came from Marben Farms in Connecticut. The herd grew over the years, but with the drought the last few years, Bill has reduced the herd to 25 Belties. He has no problems selling his heifers and steers throughout the surrounding states. After a nice tour of his farm and his very efficient barn, we headed south towards Louisiana. I could see the effects of the drought that Bill was talking about. As the highway joined up with the mighty Mississippi River, we saw water levels 15'-20' below normal. The extensive levee system that has been built along the river is impressive in how it protects the thousands upon thousands of

acres of cropland. From cotton, and rice fields, to corn and soybeans, you can see how diverse and important farming is in this part of the country. Arriving in Louisiana, a state that has 107 registered Belted Galloway cattle and six member farms, we turned west, heading to Jonesville and Boggy Bayou Belties and Paints Farm. Don Enlow, the owner, met us at his entrance and prepared a lunch of pecan wood-smoked Beltie Burgers for us to enjoy. Wow! Don bought his first Belties in 2004, but found it a challenge to locate animals to build his herd. His first Belties came from Froggy Hollow’s Farm in Mississippi and Verlee Farm in North Carolina. Don, who has been a pilot for over 40 years, has flown and has inspected gas pipelines across the US for several major

oil companies. His current position as a pilot is allowing him more free time to spend on the farm. Don was actually introduced to the breed while flying in Wisconsin many years ago. Don was no stranger to farming, as he had raised over 300 Boer goats on the farm prior to having cattle. As his farm name states, he has a few paint horses. I was impressed by

Don’s many hobbies: growing fruits, berries, and pecan trees, to making handmade wooden roux and rice spoons from various wood species. I'm really amazed at how active, versatile and involved our members are and Don is no exception. Although Don's herd is not large, he has been an enthusiastic supporter of the breed and has sold and delivered Belties to many states to help potential members get started. Next month, Sylvia and I will continue on this trip with a Mississippi Farm visit and a stop in Nashville, Tennessee at an historic farm that also has Belties.

In Memoriam

Robert Flynn

December 1, 1941 - December 1, 2012 Robert Flynn of Pittsboro, North Carolina, a true child of God, entered the gates of Heaven on December 1, 2012 at his getaway in Emerald Isle, while he was with his beloved wife of 49 ½ years, Dianne Childress Flynn. Robert has two sons, Michael Flynn of Mebane, who is married to Andrea, and Robbie Flynn of Burlington. Robert has three grandchildren, Brittany, Jordan, and Bryanna Flynn, whom he loved uncon-ditionally. Robert's life radiated a glowing spirit that he used to guide and teach his family. He was a "gentle giant" who touched the lives of everyone with his kindness and helpfulness and the unselfish generosity that was truly from his heart. His drive led him to live his life to the fullest and beyond the limits that most men ever realize. Robert was a long-time member of Edgewood Baptist Church, where he served as deacon, Sunday school teacher, choir member, and chairman of the Building and Grounds Committee. His life was a true testament to God. Lastly, Robert worked for Fitch Creations, the developer of Fearrington Village, for almost 40 years. He was loved by his co-workers as well as the residents of Fearrington Village. Fitch Creations/Fearrington Village purchased Belted Gallo-way cattle 25-plus years ago. Robert researched the breed and traveled to Virginia and Maine to purchase their founda-tion stock. Robert was passionate about Belted Galloway cattle and served on Council, various committees and later as vice-president. Robert also served as the Southern Belted Galloway Cattle Association’s president. A feather in Rob-ert’s cap was the fact that Fearrington cattle are shown and sold nationally, and continue to provide foundation stock to new breeders. As the owner of Fearrington Village stated, "Robert radiat-ed a calm, positive energy that instantly built trust, and an intuitive common sense that will be missed. He was a rock to so many people whose lives he touched."

Harry T. Burn Award

The Harry T. Burn Award was established and funded in

1984 by his widow in memory of the late Harry T. Burn, Ten-

nessee, one of the Society’s early very dedicated breeders.

Many breeders may recognize Mr. Burn’s breeding stock in

their pedigrees identified by the prefix Hathburn. His nephew,

James E. Burn, was president of the Society when he an-

nounced that the award, a large perpetual trophy and an en-

graved individual plaque, would be given to persons singled

out as having provided outstanding support and promotion to

the Belted Galloway breed. The award is not annual; rather, it

is presented from time to time as merited.

We invite the membership to submit a letter of recommen-

dation about an individual who they feel is deserving of this

distinguished award. Letters may be submitted to Vic Eg-

gleston’s office for the review of Council.

Executive Director Vic Eggleston

All members should have received their mem-

bership renewal notice by the time you read

this. Revenue from membership dues provides

the bulk of the funds our organization uses to

fulfill its mission of promoting Belted Galloway cattle. The

Council is working to educate the public about the merits of

our breed and to provide to our members, resources that will

enhance the value of their registered stock. Receiving mem-

bership dues payments early in the year helps the Council

determine the monetary resources that are available to best

fulfill its mission.

Included in your membership renewal package is a letter

from the Belted Galloway Foundation President, Bruce An-

derson, identifying the functions of the Foundation and the

benefits it can provide through your generous donations.

Please consider the Foundation’s objectives and include what-

ever amount you can along with your membership dues pay-

ment. During December, I finalized all the Lifetime Point Awards and Show Point Awards totals. Included in this issue are the Lifetime Point Awards. During February we will announce the 2012 Show Point Awards.

2013 Belties Unlimited Show

The Belties Unlimited Show returns to Iowa City, Iowa

after a three-year absence, on Saturday, June 15, 2013. Our

blow-and-go type show will be held at the Johnson County

Fairgrounds in Iowa City. Blow-and-go means washed and

blown out but no paints or adhesives are used. We encourage

participants to clip their animals. It’s a great way for new ex-

hibitors to begin showing. Prior shows held in 2008 and 2010

were fun, family shows with exhibitors, including several first

-time participants, from four states.

Iowa City is in east-central Iowa, at the junction of Inter-

state 80 and US Highway 218. This show is hosted by Greg

and Pat Hipple and is sponsored by the Great Lakes Belted

Galloway Association. For information prior to the release of

registrations for the show, feel free to contact Greg and Pat at

(319) 624-2812 or sbelties@southslope.net.

The Belted Galloway Society, Inc. experienced a marvelous

turnout for the Annual General Meeting in Louisville, KY.

Around 125 people attended the meeting and the events at

The North American International Livestock Exposition. With

106 Belted Galloway cattle shown at the National Show, it

was reported that it is the largest Belted Galloway show in

history! It’s always fun to see our youth from across the Unit-

ed States showing in The Kathi Jurkowski National Junior

Show! The Belted Galloway Premium Sale was a huge suc-

cess, offering quality cattle and strong bidding and sales! If

you were unable to attend the event, you were missed! But the

good news is that we are planning to do it all again in 2013!

There certainly was a plethora of activities and events to at-

tend because The North American International Livestock

Exposition (NAILE) is the world's largest all-breed, purebred

livestock exposition. Ten different species of livestock com-

pete in the exposition, and the purebred beef and sheep events

are the largest in the world. Beltie visitors enjoyed the Giant

Country Store and its nearly 200 commercial vendors.

The Belted Galloway Society, Inc. could not hold this event

without the work of many volunteers! We are so grateful to

our Council and the many individuals who work to make it a

positive experience for the Belted Galloway breed!

During the Annual General Meeting the membership voted

to amend the by-law regarding junior membership. Junior

membership will now be retained through the calendar year of

her/his 21st birthday.

Elections were held and returning to Council serving a 2-

year term are Scott Griffith (TX), Lisa Lovett (IL) and

Michelle Ogle (NJ).

The Spring Meeting will be held in Indianapolis, IN dur-

ing April 2013. The Annual General Meeting will be hosted

by The Belted Galloway Society Inc. to coincide with The

National Belted Galloway Show and Premium Sale in Louis-

ville, KY during November 2013.

Oldest Producing Dam Contest

Honoring the longevity and maternal instincts of the Belted

Galloway breed is a tradition of the Society. Through promo-

tion, we have marketed the longevity of the breed. Therefore,

we want to hear about those mature brood cows still in pro-

duction in our membership’s herds. During January and Feb-

ruary breeders are invited to nominate their mature dams who

continue to successfully raise progeny every year.

Submit your animal’s name, registration number, age, along

with her 2012 calving date. Mail or Email your submission to

Executive Director Vic Eggleston. The oldest producing dam

will be honored in a subsequent newsletter article. Her 2012

progeny will be registered or recorded compliments of the

Belted Galloway Society, Inc. Submissions for the contest

will be accepted through March 1, 2013.

Eggleston Presented Burn Award

Greg Hipple, Solon, Iowa wrote to the

Belted Galloway Society regarding the Har-

ry T. Burn Award, and nominated Victor

Eggleston DVM of New Glarus, Wisconsin

for his many years of outstanding support

and promotion of the Belted Galloway breed. Council

unanimously agreed to present Dr. Eggleston the award

during the Annual General Meeting.

A selection of Greg Hipple’s nomination:

‘Few Belted Galloway breeders have accomplished such

things as Dr. Eggleston. He was a founding member of

the Great Lakes Belted Galloway Association for which

he served as a member of the Board of Directors, as well

as President. He has served the Belted Galloway Society

as a member of Council, as Vice President, and as Presi-

dent, recently completing his service to the Belted Gallo-

way Foundation and currently serves as the first ever,

Executive Director of the Belted Galloway Society, Inc.

Dr. Eggleston is first and foremost an ambassador for the

Belted Galloway breed. He is a supporter of the breed

and its attributes, wherever he goes, in whatever he does.

His willingness to support the Society and the regional

groups with his experience and expertise are truly re-

markable and commendable. Few people have the attrib-

utes and integrity as Dr. Eggleston. In his current posi-

tion as Executive Director, he manages the business of

the Belted Galloway Society in a courteous and profes-

sional manner, and maintains a personal relationship

with the membership few could emulate.’

About advertising … Classified ads are free to members. All classified

ads are automatically placed on the Hotline on the Internet. Two-month

limit on classified insertions. Please include contact information —

name, farm, location, phone, fax and email, if any. For all emails —

place Hotline in the subject line. Please Email to executivedirec-

tor@beltie.org, Fax 608-527-4811or phone (608) 220-1091. We encour-

age members to submit ads the last two weeks of the month. Advertis-

ing bulls … Before advertising a young male as a breeder we must be

sure he is well conformed, tracks properly, has good legs and feet, and

exhibits good weight gains. We should have data available on his birth

weight, 205-day weaning weight, and yearling weight. If he's reached

breeding age (around 18 months), it's definitely a plus to have his semen

checked for quantity and motility.

Any data available should appear in your advertisement along with his

birth date and the names of his sire and dam. Further, it is required

that registration numbers be included on bulls advertised for sale in

the Hotline and newsletter.
