PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Mark Angus

Greetings, In recent communications with most people in the farming community it appears that Spring has been quite favourable to most thus far, green pastures with cows on them early and crops in the ground for the most part should have most people very happy. In saying that I should mention that this is written in the middle of May and with all things considered I would expect that spirits are high, as high as the price of cattle I do hope. In the same breath I hope everyone has taken the time to say a prayer for all of those, not only in the cattle industry but in general, struggling with the terrible weather circumstances in Texas and Oklahoma.

It has been a wonderful year, with very measurable progress at the heart of what we all do and love, and there is change and progress on the horizon. As with most of us that work and live off of this wonderful way of life, our management values change and progress in life the same. It is with a little sadness but yet an undoubtedly champion like attitude that we say goodbye and good luck to our manager and heartbeat at the Canadian Limousin Association, Anne Burgess. As most of you already know Anne has taken her career to a new and exciting place with the CCIA. On behalf of the Manitoba Limousin Association and its members I would like to congratulate her and wish her the most wonderful successes. Anne’s dedication to strengthening the Limousin breed has been appreciated.

With Anne moving on, a door has been opened for another champion of our breed to take her place. I am pleased to hear that the CLA has found a highly qualified individual in Tessa Nybo. Tessa will be taking on the role as the new Manager of the Canadian Limousin Association. Please make sure to welcome Tessa into her new position with the same enthusiasm she will most certainly bring to the position.

Lastly, ensure to attend the MLA Provincial Summer Show on June 28th at the Treherne Fai r. Tracey and the Treherne fair committee have put forth an excellent effort in accommodating us and getting some wonderful prizes for all those willing to participate. I hope everyone involved in the Limousin breed will take the time and join us for some competition, food and fellowship.

Sincerely, Mark Angus MB Limousin News & Views Herd Reference Issue 2015

Thank you to Amaglen Limousin for the cover picture.

Congratulations to everyone for a successful bull sale season and to those that purchased Limousin genetics for the first time, you won’t look back. The potential of your next calf crop for calving ease, growth and calves with high yielding, lean meat capabilities, that are sought after by feedlots and packers is now within your reach!

Thank you Anne Brunet-Burgess for you guidance from the desk of CLA manager and best wishes with your new posting. Welcome Tessa Nybo to the CLA Manager position.

The Manitoba Limousin Association summer show will be hosted by the Treherne Ag Society, June 29th, and the Annual Manitoba Limousin Advantage Female Sale is planned for December 2015.

Take a look through this newsletter, several great options are still available if you have a late spring/summer or fall breeding program. Make sure your 2016 calf crop has all the advantages!

Suggestions, creative ideas, and constructive criticisms are always welcomed.

Respectfully, Cher yl Daily Laughter is good for the soul!

I am tr ying to make friends outside of Facebook while applying the same principles.

Therefore ever y day, I go down onto the street and tell a passer by what I h ave eaten, how I feel, what I have done the night before, and what I will do af ter. I give them pic tures of my wife, my daughter, my dog and me gardening and spending time in my pool.

I also listen to their conversations and I tell them I love them. And it works : I already have 3 people following me; 2 of them are police officers and one is a psychiatrist!

MB Limousin News & Views Herd Referencel Issue 2015

Manitoba has been particularly hard hit by this trade barrier as the U.S. was a major export market for our feeder and finished cattle. Mandatory COOL has not only cost Canada billions but also this law hurt the U.S. economy as well through an increase in costs for processors to jeopardizing jobs within the value chain. All in all, this has been a huge loss for the cattle and hog industries on both side of the border.

May 2015 The Beginning of the End? A Monumental Country of Origin Labelling Decision Melinda German General Manager Manitoba Beef Producers We won…the last battle at least in terms of appeals.

On May 18, 2015 the Appellate Body of the World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled once again in favour of Canada and Mexico in their dispute with the United States over their mandatory Country of Origin Labelling (COOL) policy. Our position is that COOL discriminates against the live import of cattle and hogs. This is the fourth WTO ruling on this matter and under trade law it is the last one as the United States has now exhausted all its appeal options. We have been battling COOL now for eight years and the impacts have been staggering.

The legal costs are in the millions but the economic losses to the livestock industry are in the billions here in Canada.

So what is COOL and why did the U.S. go down this path? COOL requires different labelling for Canadian cattle slaughtered in the U.S. This is to provide American consumers with information about where their food is coming from. It is not now nor could it ever be a food safety or traceability program. Yet according to a study by Kansas State University COOL has not resulted in an increase in consumer demand for the labeled products. In the end this trade barrier has not resulted in the outcomes the U.S. had hoped for.

MB Limousin News & Views Herd Reference Issue 2015

So what’s next? The first option is for the U.S. to fully repeal COOL but if this does not happen the Canadian government is positioned to implement a series of retaliatory tariffs on specific U.S. exports into Canada. The commodities on the list for proposed retaliatory measures are diverse and include more than just agricultural commodities.

They range from meat to mattresses to wine and apples. The goal is to impose a level of economic hurt similar to the one Canada has experienced over the course of COOL. In theory the tariffs will create pressure from U.S. businesses on their government to fully repeal COOL. Given that Canada and Mexico are the United States’ two largest export markets the pressure could be very significant.

The Canadian government and our national industry voice, the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) have fought diligently to get us to where we are now. Provincial associations such as Manitoba Beef Producers have provided financial support to CCA in this battle and all our efforts have finally paid off. We hope that in the next short while the U.S. will decide to repeal COOL and we will not have to impose the retaliatory tariffs, but if they do not the Canadian and Mexican governments are prepared to take this to the next level. If all goes well, 2015 could be the year COOL finally dies.

Our industry is finally doing well after a long decade of limited growth and profitability. The removal of COOL and the associated barriers in the U.S. market could be a factor to help our industry move into the expansion phase, providing us here in Canada with a more stable industry and potentially more market opportunities for Manitoba producers.
