From the Department Chair

Greetings to the Members of the Saddle and Sirloin Club, I hope the 2011/2012 academic year has been one of great accomplishment, significant personal growth and lasting memories for each of you. It has certainly been so for me. Since my arrival in January of 2012 I have had the pleasure to meet many of you, and have participated in enough student events on campus to know that we have a fine department and a great student body. Know that we will continue to serve as a studentcentered department, and that we will do all we can to provide quality educational experiences now and in the future. I continue to meet every week with alumni of the department and stakeholders from the animal industries. They share a strong interest in our programs and express a desire to partner with us to develop new programs of excellence as we move forward. It is a nice time to be an Ohio State Buckeye! It is with great anticipation that I await the 2012 Little International show as it an excellent opportunity for students to learn new skills, to work with animals, and for me to meet so many students and parents. Events like the Little I are a celebration of the importance of the livestock industry to our heritage, and also a harbinger that we are near the end of another academic year. I hope each student realizes how quickly a baccalaureate program goes by, and that many of the friends you make in your time on campus will remain great friends for the rest of your life. We are in a time of significant challenges with the struggling economy in Ohio and the nation. In spite of this hardship almost all of our students continue to find gainful employment soon after graduation. This speaks very highly of the value of an Ohio State University education as well as to the quality of our students. Lets be optimistic about the future and thankful for our time together at such a great institution. Best wishes for an excellent show! Sincerely, Ronald S. Kensinger Chair and Professor

From the President

Dear Friends, It is my pleasure and honor to welcome you to the most highly regarded tradition in the Department of Animal Sciences at the Ohio State University- the 98th Little International. With all the changes occurring in the livestock industry, it is amazing that this prestigious event has held together for 98 years. As I look at the quality of the club through the members, advisors, alumni, and supporters it is easy to believe the success stories of various events. The education we receive within the classroom is very important; however, what matters most is that you can process the academic material and apply it. What matters is our ability to step up, take a leadership position, effectively follow through with the job, and be successful in a hands-on situation. Within Saddle and Sirloin, there are endless opportunities to prepare for real life circumstances. I enjoy talking to S&S alumni who are out working in the agriculture/livestock industry. It is great to hear how traditions evolved. It is even better to know that we are able to keep them alive and build on them. I hope our traditions can be passed on and that we can all look back and say that we are proud of the way we left it. I want to thank the officer executive team, advisors, members, and supporters, that helped me as president and us as a club, have such a wonderful year. Whether you are here to see children, grandchildren, friends, family, or students, your guidance and support has enabled them to experience opportunities like no otherThank you! Good luck to all Little I participants and congratulations on being part of The Ohio State University Saddle and Sirloin Club. Thank you for a great year, Emilee Fraizer Saddle and Sirloin President

98th Annual Little International

Club & Event History

addle and Sirloin at The Ohio State University is celebrating 100 years of tradition since its founding in February, 1911, as the first college organization of its kind. The primary purpose of the club is to promote and stimulate interest in the livestock and meat industries. To further this purpose, the Little International is presented each year as one of the clubs major activities. The Little International, originally called the Young International was first held in the fall of 1912 in order to help prepare the livestock which would be going to Chicago for the International Exposition the following December. The event has been held yearly since, with the exception of a two-year lapse due to our nations military obligation. On November 25, 1962, at the National Block and Bridle Convention, The Ohio State University Saddle and Sirloin Club became the 40th member of the organization. The purpose of the National Block and Bridle Club is to promote animal agriculture through development of a program of activities to supplement students studies and to enhance professionalism of students who will one day be leaders in the animal agriculture industry. The emblem of the Block and Bridle Club represents the principles upon which it is built. Character, sincerity, and a moral life are asked of members and are depicted in the straight perpendicular of the B. The distinct curves of the B are symbolic of social pleasure, mental energy, and the determination of members. The meat block and cleaver inside the top half of the B represents the material aspects of life and the profession. The bridle in the bottom half of the B stands for the behavior of Block and Bridle members, the mannerisms and respect we show towards others, and the manner in which we treat our livestock. Following the original policy, Saddle and Sirloin is open to all Ohio State University students interested in the livestock and meats industries. Since its organization, it has sponsored various functions and activities, many of which have become tradition. These include the annual awards banquet, livestock shows, judging contests, and the Little International. Funding for these activities includes serving barbeques and a food stand at the Farm Science Review. Looking back at years gone by will show that members have shared in much success and leaders developed in Saddle and Sirloin have gone far in the field of Animal Sciences. Saddle and Sirloin appreciates the support given to the organization by those at the university and in the agricultural industry and recognizes the importance of these relationships in accomplishing goals and working toward a bright future in the industry.

Academic Quadrathalon Team

Students representing The Ohio State University at the 2011 regional competition included (from left to right):

Each year the Department of Animal Sciences sponsors a local Academic Quadrathlon competition. Students have the opportunity to test their knowledge and expertise in the animal sciences through a fun and friendly competition. Four teams of 4 tested their skills in 2011 in a quiz bowl, written exam, and an oral presentation. The winning team selected from the local competition represented The Ohio State University at the Midwest Section meetings of the American Society of Animal Science and American Dairy Science Association held in March. The team competed against 16 other mid-western university teams at the 2011 ASAS Midwest regional competition. The highlight of the competition, was a 1st place finish overall which was the result of a 3rd in the lab practicum, a 3rd on the oral presentation, 6th in the written exam and a 1st in the quiz bowl. Team members also had the opportunity to attend the scientific presentations at the meetings and interact with others who have an interest in the animal agriculture industries including students, faculty, and staff from the other prominent mid-western universities in the animal sciences. Additionally this first place finish gave them the opportunity to participate in the National Beef Quiz Bowl Competition held in conjunction with the National Cattlemans Beef Association annual meeting in Nashville, TN in February 2012. The team was edged out by TAMU in their final quiz bowl round resulting in a 3rd place finish. Following the competition team members enjoyed the convention and some highlights of Nashville. An amazing trip and an amazing group of individuals, Congratulations!

2011 Livestock Judging Team

Caitlin Bushman John Heins Tyler Lones Ty McGuire Lynette Sell Katy Shircliff Arlis Young Coach:
Being named champions Eastern National Livestock Judging Contest in Westminster, MD, highlighted the 2011 Ohio State University Livestock Judging Team season. Seven animal sciences students comprised the team. Team members included Katy Shircliff (now a graduate student in meat science at University of Missouri), Caitlin Bushman, John Heins, Arlis Young, Tyler Lones, Ty McGuire and Lynette Sell. Clean sweep would describe the efforts of the team at the Eastern National. The team ranked first in beef, sheep, swine, and oral reasons, and obviously, this resulted in being named champion team overall. Individually, Lones took top honors in the overall event, McGuire was reserve high individual, Heins third, Sell 8th, and Bushman 9th. The team also performed well in State College, PA, at All East, in Harrisburg, PA, at the Keystone International Livestock Exposition, and in Omaha, NE, at Ak-Sar-Ben earning fourth overall honors in three competitions. At All East, Heins was second in overall evaluation, Young placed seventh, Lones took top honors in sheep evaluation and Bushman finished fourth in beef evaluation. Heins was seventh overall and in reasons at Keystone, and finished fourth in swine judging. Individual honors at Ak-Sar-Ben went to Shircliff and Bushman finishing fifth and tenth, respectively, in swine. The most prestigious individual honor, however, was earned by Katy Shircliff at the North American International Livestock Exposition where she was named to the ten member All American team. This is an honor bestowed upon students who excel in academics, leadership and judging prowess. The team and coach would like to extend their sincere gratitude to all of their supporters, as well as the flexibility of the many faculty that allowed students to expand their learning opportunities by gaining learning experiences outside of the classroom.

Steeb Showmanship Award

History of the Steeb

egular patrons of the Little International Livestock Show during their lifetimes, Mr. and Mrs. Carl E. Steeb, were the generous donors of this beautiful rotating trophy known as the Steeb Award. The presentation is made at the end of Little International Activities. In presenting the trophy to our Saddle and Sirloin Club, the donors planned to have the rotating trophy presented each year to the contestant who proves to be the best showman among all species exhibited. The Saddle and Sirloin Club is extremely grateful for the interest the Steebs have shown the Little International Livestock Show. The club plans to continue this tradition by, once again, awarding the trophy in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Steeb.

A special thank you goes out to the Species Chairs, Yearbook Committee, BBQ Committee and Awards Committee for their commitment to the club and effort towards the Little I. Our wonderful advisors, Gregg Fogle, Kyle Culp, and Dr. Boyles continually offered guidance throughout the preparation process for Little I as well as during the school year and hosting of other Saddle and Sirloin events. We would like to thank the Department of Animal Sciences Faculty and Staff for their support of our club and Little I. Finally, we would like to extend a huge thank you to all of our sponsors. It is with their generosity that the Saddle and Sirloin Club is able to continue this tradition. We are delighted to share this day with everyone and hope that you have enjoyed the festivities.
