PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Shawn Airey
As I write this the first real storm of the winter is hitting and fall female sales are in full swing. Calf prices have been rising over the past month and hopefully they will continue on an upward swing. This fall was proof that Charolais bulls are the right choice. Charolais calves topped the markets in the fall sales run and the spread between light and heavy calves was huge. As Charolais breeders, we need to push the message hard that it pays to have the performance that Charolais bulls can add. It was decided that the MCA AGM will no longer be held in January and will be held in the summer, most likely in conjunction with the MCA Picnic & Pen Show. Hopefully this will allow more people to attend. Details should be available in the Bull issue of the Bull-etin. Merry Christmas and Happy Calving, Shawn Airey MCA President

This fall, the more calves weighed going through the sales ring, the more cattle producers were paid. Producing functional, quality bulls that will add performance to calves for the commercial cattle producer is the main focus of our program at HTA.
Performance = Pounds = Profit

from Mel Canadian Charolais Association This past year has proven to be a banner year for the Charolais breed yet again. There have been some changes along the way but in the end, our breed continues to thrive; Whole Herd Enrollment and Memberships were increased along with overall enthusiasm. One of the significant changes to note, we’ve implemented a new and improved Registry System; when members log in it looks different but ultimately holds the same functionality with increased efficiencies and a user-friendly platform. If you haven’t done so already, please contact the office ASAP to receive a new password to access your CCA online account, passwords were not transferable during the transition. The CCA Board of Directors met in Calgary for their annual fall meetings to review the year and look forward into 2017. Following the resignation of FirstVice President Andre Steppler (MB), Darwin Rosso (SK) moved to First-Vice President and Ricky Milton (Maritimes) joins the Executive as Second-Vice President. The CCA has worked with the Manitoba Association and the vacancy of the Manitoba Director seat will be elected at the 2017 CCA Annual General Meeting. Until then, CCA is committed to communication with our Manitoba members, feel free to reach out to any Director for comments, concerns and/or questions. On the Breed Improvement front, we continue to work with Doug Blair, Sean McGrath and the University of Georgia with the end goal of Single Step-Genomically Enhanced EPDs. Results are seemingly elusive but trust the process. CCA has invested limited funds; we are continuing with our conservative approach and are working on building our database of genotypes while utilizing government funds to carry out 50K panels on sires. As a breeder, ALWAYS remember to DNA your bulls. CCA By-Laws require all sires to be DNA’d and all AI Sires to be Parent Verified (Sire and Dam). Donor dams also require DNA on file while Embryo Transfer calves and Full French animals are all required to be
14
Manitoba Charolais Bull-etin 2016
Parent Verified. CCA in conjunction with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Univeristy of Alberta and Livestock Gentec continues to support the ongoing research at Kinsella with their Charolais herd as they strive to improve the genomic predictions through their breeding programs. We work with the team to support their mandates with regards to genomics, feed efficiency and carcass information as they track their genetic improvement year over year. If any members are collecting chute-side ultrasound data, please contact Mel the CCA office – we can accept this data for our genetic evaluations. The Provincial Association Presidents were in attendance for a portion of the Fall Meetings with the National Board to engage in a brain-storm and networking session. The CCA feels it’s imperative to keep the lines of communication open between the National and Provincial Boards, we’re all working collaboratively for the betterment of the Charolais breed. The 2016 National Charolais Show was a resounding success at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto, Ontario. The enthusiasm was electric as Charolais enthusiasts descended upon Toronto from all parts of the country to participate in the action. The Ontario Charolais Association hosted 46 breeders that exhibited 105+ animals, cattle were sorted November 4 by Kasey Phillips, Waskatenau, AB. Sparks flew at the National Charolais Sale that averaged $9400, compliments to the Ontario Charolais Association for filling the house and organizing a first-class video sale. We look forward to join you in Manitoba next October for the 2017 National Charolais Show at Ag-Ex! Mark your calendars for the CCA Annual General Meeting in Saskatoon, SK on June 9 & 10, 2017. The CCYA Conference & Show is moving to Ontario for 2017, plan to join us in Barrie, ON next August 2-5, 2017.

Merry Christmas to everyone hope you all have a great family Christmas. And Best Wishes for 2017. Raymond and Barb have had two grandchildren recently Nikoda and Kolton had a baby girl Bexley Ann McIntosh. Graham and Brittany had a baby boy, Dec. 6, Max Robert Stewart. Grandmas were not able to get to Winnipeg to see the new grandson because of closed roads. This is my favourite baked beans recipe and was a real hit when Jocelyn made them for the Rivers 100th anniversary celebration supper. I quarter this recipe when just making it for my family.
Jocelyn’s Pineapple Baked Beans 1 lb. bacon, fried and cut-up 4-15 oz. cans beans 2 large onions 1 green pepper 6 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 2 cups ketchup 1 c. brown sugar 1 can pineapple tidbits, drained Mushrooms, if desired Mix all together in large casserole. Bake in 250F oven for 3 hours. Jocelyn uses her slow cooker on high for same amount of time. Recipe should feed 20 people. Jocelyn and I both use ham when we have some on hand not bacon. Red Lobster Biscuits 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 Tablespoon sugar 1 Tablespoon baking powder ½ teaspoon kosher salt ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional 1 cup buttermilk ½ cup unsalted butter, melted 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese Mix together and drop with large spoon or half cup measuring cup on to baking sheet. For the topping 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves ½ teaspoon garlic powder Directions: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

These go great with homemade soup. I’m including my favourite Taco Soup recipe hope I haven’t used it in a previous column. Went through numerous past bulletins and didn’t see it. Taco Soup 1 ½ lbs. ground beef ½ cup chopped onion 1- 28 oz. can diced tomatoes 1- 14 oz. can corn, with liquid 1- 14 oz. can kidney beans with liquid 1- 8 oz. can tomato sauce Salt and pepper to taste 1 pkg. Taco seasoning 1 to 2 cups water Brown onion and hamburger in a frying pan. Simmer all ingredients including hamburger and onion in soup for at least 15 minutes. Just before serving add 1 cup grated cheese or add some grated cheese to each steaming hot bowl as you serve it. Another restaurant the Queens Own Restaurant in Rapid City operated by Kelly Spurway is buying local beef, pork, and lamb. She also uses locally grown produce. Kelly says her grandmother started teaching her to cook when she was five and that she loves cooking. I like to support the restaurants that buy locally.

Who is in the kitchen?
It’s always fun to bring children into the kitchen and teach them skills. Counting, measuring, fractions, mixing, temperature, time and a sense of accomplishment go a long way in child development. At right, Blake Airey, daughter of Shawn and Tanya Airey is helping her Grandmother, Joan Airey make buttertarts. What a fantastic family Christmas tradition to pass along and make memories at the same time.
