13 Show Dedicatee From left: Miss Charolais USA Addi Marston, Bill Nottke, Megan Johnson 2015 Junior National Show Dedicatee Bill Nottke By Megan Johnson, Beaver, Okla. Bill Nottke was born and raised in Clifton, Illinois, where his father s family had been involved with farming since the 1800s. At a young age, the face of agriculture started to change around him. With a limited amount of land available for livestock, he raised and showed sheep as his 4-H and FFA projects. When he was a junior in high school, one day in Ag class he flipped through the pages of a Charolais Journal and saw a picture of the bull, Sam 951. Seeing that magnificent animal was perhaps the defining moment when Bill decided that if granted the opportunity, he promised himself one day he would raise Charolais cattle of his own. Not having the chance to stay on the family farm after schooling, he ventured out on his own. Starting Riverdale Land & Livestock was the culmination of a lifelong dream for Bill. It started out only as a hobby and it became gratifying for him to see the herd develop over the years. He began with a group of 55 commercial bred cows and the purchase of his first two registered Charolais bulls to rebreed with. Slowly he began to add registered cows, many obtained from dispersal sales and private treaty sales. Growing the herd, mostly from within, today the herd consists of all registered females. Although watching Riverdale grow into a small seedstock operation, Bill thought he still needed a hobby. Today Riverdale is also home to a small breeding herd of registered Texas Longhorns. The Longhorn breed is very unique, interesting and historic cattle, with a place in the industry and he enjoys them very much. However, they don t come close to holding a candle to the Charolais breed, Bill mentioned. Bill joined the association in 1997, when Mitch Thomas was president and since then there have been several others who had the privilege of holding office. Their guidance, long range planning and fiscal responsibility along with our association staff has created the successful entity we enjoy today, are the thoughts of Nottke, when discussing the influence he anticipates to have among the association. I hope to do my best as many of the past presidents have advised the incoming officer just don t screw it up! Considered a strong advocate for younger generations in the agriculture industry, Bill and his family try to give help and influence too as many of the youth organizations as they can. It s one of his biggest pleasures to be able to give something back. They have been watching the juniors long enough to see several of the kids go through the AIJCA and now have their own kids participating. When asked what advice he would offer an AIJCA member, Bill offers, Think like a fox and work like an ox. When asked about his accomplishments within the breed, Bill found it hard to analyze. I am still waiting to produce that breed changing sire like Wyoming Wind or 914, but in my own little way. By staying true to our breeding program I feel every year our cattle have improved, therefore we have helped to advance the overall quality of the breed, he said. However he believes his biggest accomplishment are the friends he has made in this wonderful Charolais family. C H A R O L A I S J O U R N A L A U G U S T

14 Conference Honoree From left: Macie Wagstaff, Galen Fink, Megan Fink, Lori Fink, Miss Charolais USA Addi Marston 2015 Junior National Conference Honoree The Fink Family This year s Junior National Conference Honoree is a family that has been actively involved in the Charolais industry for over twenty years. Galen and Lori Fink grew up on eastern Kansas farms, learning the importance of sound decisions in cattle judging, business and leadership. They currently reside in Randolph, Kansas with their daughter Megan at Fink Beef Genetics; which began in 1977 with one cow and very little capital. Galen said, We had to think out of the box to overcome the lack of land and other resources. The Finks started with the Angus breed first. Their involvement with the Charolais breed began in 1993 when they recognized the need for Charolais cattle and what the breed had to offer to the their cattle program. They started with half-blood Charolais bulls and then introduced purebred Charolais not long after. Galen has given presentations about the program at Fink Beef Genetics in over 20 states, Mexico and Canada. They have successfully made their name very well-known across the country over the years. The Fink family is an active all around family. Galen has been the Kansas Charolais Junior Advisor for seven years until retiring this year. He has served on many committees and boards, representing the American-International Charolais Association, the Beef Improvement Federation and Kansas Livestock Association (KLA). As well as judged in 22 states and Mexico which include three Junior National Shows. Lori has been on many committees, like Galen, some of which are, the Kansas State Fair Board, KLA Director, Kansas Beef Council, National Cattlemen s Beef Association (NCBA) Federation Board and President of the Kansas Charolais Association. The family was actively involved with the planning of the 2014 Junior National. Galen and Lori were the planning committee chairmen and Megan was on the awards committee. Megan is a past American-International Junior Charolais Association President and Kansas State University graduate. She recently became a Kansas Charolais Junior Advisor. Megan started showing Charolais 46 A U G U S T C H A R O L A I S J O U R N A L By Macie Wagstaff, Henderson, Texas cattle in 2000 along with five other friends. The Fink family s first Junior National was held in Minnesota in In 2005 Galen and Lori took seven girls including Megan and 17 head of cattle; in which, all but three had come from Fink Beef Genetics. The Finks were happy to have girls and boys over at their place taking care of their animals and hauling them to different shows. Megan and Lori s favorite Junior National memory was in 2005, when Megan won Reserve Grand Champion Female. Megan said that she never expected that to happen to her and that female was the start of everything she has shown over the past years. However, Galen s favorite Junior National was 2009 in California, where Megan won Champion Bred and Owned Charolais Female and Champion Senior Showmanship. Megan has had numerous class winners, reserves and grand champions over her show career. The importance of Junior National in their eyes is more than just showing. You get to meet exhibitors from all over the USA and make lifelong friends. Megan said At Junior National, you compete in contests, and you have so much fun in between. I encourage juniors to remember that it is not all about winning but the friendships you make that will stick with you the most. Galen and Lori encourage AIJCA Members to step out of their comfort zones and chase their dreams, being all that they can be, not look back on the past but look to the future. Not only have Galen and Lori taken extra juniors under their wing with provided them with the opportunity to show; but, they have made a huge impact on the lives of our juniors as well. In supporting the Kansas Juniors, Junior National sponsorships, helping plan of a Junior National and much more. Galen and Lori will go out of their way to help others that need the help. In 2012, the Fink Family was named Family of the Year. The Fink family has gone above and beyond for the AIJCA and Charolais breed.
