2012 MFBF Equine Directory - Montana Farm Bureau Federation

502 S. 19 th Ave., Suite 104 

Bozeman, MT 59718 

Dear fellow horse enthusiast: 

I’m looking forward to 2012 being a fine year for horse owners. As a 

quarter horse breeder myself, I’m looking forward to the new crop 

of colts this spring. Hopefully Mother Nature provides us with lots of 

rain to keep our grass green and growing. The economic outlook for 

the industry is looking up due to recent legislation that returns viable 

options for managing equine operations. 

We’re proud of the Equine Boosters of MSU for yet again providing 

a great sale in early May—their Top of the West sale featuring horses 

from the MSU Colt Breaking Class. Remember that as part of this 

sale, you support the Equine Boosters of MSU and the MSU Equine 

Science Program. I personally know of at least two of our MFBF 

members who have bought colts through the sale and they are very 

pleased with the quality of their horses. 

Of course the real value of this directory is letting horse enthusiasts 

know that Montana Farm Bureau works daily to protect what’s near 

and dear to horse owners: property rights, clean water and animal 

care without overregulation. If you’re not a member, join today or 

upgrade to a Century Club member and encourage all of your friends 

with horses to do the same. We can’t do this without your support. 

Visit us at www.mfbf.org. 

Ride for the Brand, 

Robert Hanson 

President

Meet MFBF Equine Committee Member 

Milee Malone 

Milee Malone loves horses and equine 

competition. She was the 2011 Northern Rodeo 

Association Champion Breakaway Roper and 

qualified for the College National Finals Rodeo 

three times. The 29-year-old co-manages 

Paradise Equestrian Center in Pray and 

currently serves on the Montana Farm Bureau 

Federation (MFBF) Equine Committee. Milee, no 

stranger to agriculture, has been riding horses all 

her life and grew up in Park County. 

Her mother, Gayleen, and father, Marty, have been advocates 

of agriculture for most of their professional careers and have instilled those 

values in Milee. Marty Malone recently retired as Montana State University 

(MSU) Extension agent for Park County after 30 years to begin a new career as 

county commissioner. Milee’s brother manages a ranch in the valley. The family 

has been MFBF members since 2000. 

Milee originally wanted to start a breeding barn after receiving her degree in 

equine science, and still hopes to in the future. Milee is a professional trainer 

specializing in roping, and co-managing the Center with Brooke Sene. The two 

women have made the Center a premier training and boarding facility, working 

together since 2008. When asked, “What is your number-one hint for all future 

barn managers?” Milee responded, “Communication between coworkers, 

employees and clients. Most problems can be resolved if people just talk.” 

When she is not working at the Center, Milee is on the road with her mom 

chasing the rodeo circuit. This past year, she and her 12 year old mare, 

“Baybee” (who she raised and trained) won the Northern Rodeo Association 

Champion Breakaway. The motivated rider hopes to do as well in the Women’s 

Professional Rodeo Association and qualify for the National Finals Rodeo in the 

future. Besides managing the facility with 50 horses and clients, a constant cycle 

of six horses/clients in training, and winning national titles, Milee makes time to 

promote the equine industry. 

Milee has been a member of the Montana Farm Bureau Federation for six years 

and served on the MFBF Equine Committee for two years. As a committee 

member, Milee educates people on issues involved and ways they can be solved. 

“I feel it’s important to not only talk to people involved with horses, as well 

as those who know nothing about them, and let them know where equine 

professionals stand on a number of issues, including property and water rights, 

animal care, and environmental stewardship,” notes Milee. 

26

She accomplishes this at the national level by serving on the American Farm 

Bureau Federation’s Equine Committee. Milee’s input on these committees 

allows the grassroots organization to vote and create policy concerning equine 

issues. For more information on Farm Bureau visit www.mfbf.org.

Behind the Scenes at a Horse Sale 

BLS horse sales manager Jann Parker shares her expertise 

about selling and buying horses. 

If you come to a sale to buy a horse, what 

should you do first? 

Homework starts at home. Your shopping should 

begin before you ever get to the sale. First, decide 

what you really want. Do you want a trail horse, rope 

horse, gentle kid’s horse, ranch horse, or a combo? Knowing 

what you want helps in finding the right horse for you. Keep yourself focused 

and refuse to be distracted by horses that don’t “fit the bill.” Your “search” 

begins when you weed through the consignments and form your “short list.” At 

Billings Livestock, we update our webpage as horses come in, sometimes daily, 

for this very reason – it allows our customers to keep any eye on consignments 

from home and then call the consignor. Visit with them about the horse. Ask 

questions. If the horse is in close proximity, go try the horse. Video is a big 

help. We encourage videos, and many consignors send in links to a video on a 

specific horse. If the horse is five states away, find out when they are coming to 

BLS; many consignors come the day prior to the sale, and so should you. As our 

time, resources, fuel, and pocketbook limit us, horse sales allow the buyer to 

see a considerable number of horses that fit their requirements all in one place, 

all in one weekend, and all offered for sale. Plan to make the horse sale your 

destination for that weekend to find your horse. Attend the previews, walk by 

the horses in their pens, watch what goes on and take a good look at what you 

are planning to buy. Then, if it fits, do it. 

Once you raise your hand and buy, what happens next? 

Once you have purchased your new horse, go out and make sure he is fine in 

his pen. At BLS, horses go back to the pens/stalls they came from to minimize 

any issues. Make sure your new horse has hay, water, and all looks good. He 

is now yours. If you have completed your buying, go to the office and settle up. 

You will receive your registration papers, transfer, any other support material 

at that time. In Montana, a brand inspection is proof of ownership. You will 

receive your health certificate, negative 

Coggins test papers and brand 

inspection at the LOAD 

OUT chute once 

your horse is 

36

checked out. Health and Coggins are 

written in accordance with your state 

requirements. If you live in Montana, you 

will not need a health or Coggins. 

If you want to sell your horse, 

what to do? 

If you want to sell your horse, make sure 

you want to sell your horse. People 

can tell a mile away if you are serious or 

not and with every passing day, will not 

spend their time, resources, and energy researching horses any further once 

they get the “well, if he brings the big bucks, then maybe we’ll sell him”, or “If 

he goes to the right place, then maybe we’ll sell him.” There are way too many 

other horses out there that will sell and buyers will concentrate their efforts 

on those horses. Ever notice why complete dispersion sales are well attended? 

People know the horses will sell. Have him look, ride, and be at his/her best. 

All shapes, sizes, classes, and conditions will sell, but if you want to do the best 

job, have your horse ready to sell. Get him in shape and get shoes on at least 

a week prior to the sale, and be generally “ready.” Styles change, too; with 

ranch horses and using geldings, save the clippers and do not clip or trim ears, 

fetlocks, or pull manes or tails. Honest. 

What to expect of your horse in the ring and after the sale. 

Rarely does a horse really act up in the sale ring UNLESS he/she has an 

unresolved issue or two that came with him. Barn-soured horses show their 

colors by “riding you” and sticking their head back out the gate they came in or 

doing a dance to get back out the gate. The majority of the broke horses just 

“ride nice.” I think people make the mistake of stopping to talk every other 

lap around the sale ring and that makes the horse nervous to stand still. Keep 

motion, show your horse. If you have catalogued your horse, the announcer 

and auctioneer already have the information you submitted. You certainly can 

add to it, but remember, the better job you do riding, the better your horse will 

show, and that translates into the better your horse will sell. All in all, horses 

are just fine in the sale arena. 

At BLS, your success is our success. We want to do the best job we can for both our 

buyers and sellers. We will help you – on either side of it – to market your horse 

and to do our best job of selling your horse, and help those who are looking for a 

“certain” horse do their research. We want a win-win. BLS is Montana’s oldest 

market at 77 years of operation, and began as a horse and mule auction. 

Today, we are proud to be America’s number-one horse market. It matters 

to us. Come see Bill and Jann Parker and the staff at BLS Horse Sales.

Manure and Hay Matters 

By Celine Duncan, DowAgroSciences 

Noxious and invasive weeds can cause serious problems on rangeland and 

pastures in Montana. Herbicides are a very effective tool for controlling these 

weeds and helping protect Montana’s agricultural industry and the biological 

diversity of its forests and wildlife. When noxious weeds are treated with 

herbicides, forage from herbicide-treated pasture may be consumed by horses 

and other livestock. These herbicides can pass through the animals’ digestive 

tracts unchanged and are excreted in urine and manure. If manure, hay used 

for bedding, mulch, or compost materials (e.g. grass clippings, manure, hay) 

containing herbicide residues are applied to fields or gardens, herbicide damage 

may occur to certain broadleaf vegetables, flowers or other sensitive crops. 

If you buy hay for your animals, ask the hay producer or seller which herbicides, 

if any, were used in producing the hay. Obtain a copy of the herbicide label from 

a farmer or online (at www.cdms.net/LabelsMsds/LMDefault.aspx), and refer to 

the Use Precautions and Restrictions section. If you do not know the herbicide 

history of the hay, do not sell or give away the manure from animals that 

consumed the hay for use in growing plants or making compost. Manures that 

contain herbicide residues can be safely spread on grass pastures, rangelands, 

grass hayfields, corn or grass grown for seed. 

If you raise or purchase grass hay, make sure you know if any herbicides were 

used on the hay prior to your possession. Producers and retailers of hay must 

communicate that herbicide-treated forages and plant matter converted into 

manure are not usable as a fertilizer, soil amendment or compost in areas 

used for growing broadleaf plants. Landowners should know and maintain a 

written record of the herbicides applied to their fields. Upon selling products of 

herbicide treated inputs, sellers must inform purchasers of herbicide label use 

precautions. 

Remember, it is important to read and follow herbicide labels so land managers 

and horse enthusiasts can appreciate how to use their manure and livestock 

bedding in a manner that keeps it from damaging gardens and other sensitive 

plants such as ornamentals. Additional information and guidelines for managing 

herbicide carryover in manure, hay and other products is available online at 

www.pesticides.montana.edu/PAT/Coordinators/non-target%20plant%20toxicity/ 

index.html or aminopyralidstewardshipinstructions.com or contact your local MSU 

Extension agent to develop a manure management plan. 

Note: Depending on the herbicide used, it 

takes three-to-seven days feeding on nontreated 

forage for most animals’ digestive 

tracts to produce manure clear of any 

herbicide residue. Consult the appropriate 

product label for specific information.

What Exactly is the Montana Farm 

Bureau Federation? 

You’re probably wondering what the Montana FarM Bureau Federation 

(MFBF) is and what we can do for you . Lots . In short, MFBF cares for the 

country and we can help ensure a stronger equine industry and save you 

money . 

Montana Farm Bureau Federation and American Farm Bureau Federation 

(AFBF) were formed in 1919 for the purpose of making the business of farming 

and ranching more profitable and your community a better place to live. MFBF 

is an independent, non-governmental, voluntary organization with its roots 

in agriculture . Farm Bureau is an organization where members secure the 

benefits of united efforts in a way that could never be accomplished through 

individual efforts . MFBF is the Montana’s largest agricultural organization . 

MFBF is made up of over 18, 000 member families . Each November, volunteer 

leaders nominate members for each of the fifteen commodity advisory 

committees, including equine . In June, the committees meet to discuss issues 

and propose ways to address those issues . This information is taken back to 

the county Farm Bureaus . The county Farm Bureaus discuss resolutions to 

be presented at the state convention . There, amendments and new policy is 

voted on by members . This all goes into the policy book . This policy book 

designates what the MFBF supports and disapproves . MFBF’s three lobbyists 

use this policy to represent the 18, 000 member families in Helena . Workers’ 

compensation, horse processing, and private property rights are just some 

of the issues . If national in scope, this policy is taken to the American Farm 

Bureau Federation convention and MFBF members propose policy to put in the 

AFBF policy book . These policies are voted on by state delegates nationwide 

and is the voice of one of the most influential organizations in Washington, DC. 

Besides Farm Bureau by making your one voice heard and helping protect the 

industry you love, by becoming a member you receive benefits to help with 

your home and business . Is your old truck starting to lose its luster? Check 

out MFBF’s GM discount . Members now receive a $500 discount on each 

qualifying Chevrolet, GMC or Buick vehicle they purchase or lease—that 

includes all the trucks. Flying to a rodeo or show and can’t seem to find a good 

deal on a hotel or rental car? Members receive a discount on Avis, or Thrifty 

car rentals . Hotel rooms are cheaper at Choice Hotels and Wyndham Hotels . 

So that’s what Montana Farm Bureau Federation is in a nutshell and what we 

can do for you . If you’d like more information check out www.mfbf.org or 

please do not hesitate to call us at (406) 587-3153 .
