• Semen imported from England. Established in 1974, Hallfield Blondes won the "Blonde Society’s National Competition" best herd award in 2002 and 2011. • EBV’s: top 5% CE, top 10% muscle depth, top 20% growth and top 35% BW. • A super terminal sire with the qualities to please the purebred breeder as well: dam still active at 12 years old and a selection program based on a strict culling policy for type and temperament.

Definitions of EPD’s appearing in this catalogue Cal. Ease (%) | expected difference in percentage of unassisted births when the bull is bred to first-calf heifers. A higher value indicates greater calving ease.
Mat. Cal. Ease (%) | expected difference in percentage of unassisted births in first-calf daughters of the bull. A higher value indicates greater calving ease.
Birth Wt. (lb) | expected difference in progeny birth weights. A larger number indicates heavier calves at birth.
Udder Suspension/Teat Size (score) | expected difference in conformation score on a scale of 1 (pendulous udder/large teats) to 9 (tight udder/small teats). For example, we would expect the daughters of a bull whose EPD is +0.8 to score one point higher compared to those sired by a bull at -0.2.
Wean Wt./Yearl. Wt. (lb) | expected difference in progeny weaning and yearling weights. A larger number indicates heavier calves.
$ EN (dollars) | expected difference in annual dollar savings on cow energy requirements. A positive value is favorable as it means more dollars saved on feed expenses. This EPD is highly influenced by milk potential and cow size.
Milk (lb) | expected difference in daughters’ progeny weaning weight due to their milking and mothering abilities. Mat. Wean. Wt. (lb) | expected difference in a bull’s daughters progeny weaning weight combining milk and growth potential transmitted by the dam. The formula to calculate it is: Milk EPD + ½ weaning weight EPD.
Docility (%) | expected difference in the probability that a bull’s progeny be categorized as docile. A higher value represent genetics for calmer behavior.
Heifer Pregnancy (%) | expected difference in probability that a bull’s daughters conceive in their first breeding season for a calving at two years of age.
Scrot. Circ. (cm) | expected difference in scrotal circumference of a bull’s yearling sons compared to that of other sires progeny. Rib Eye (square inches) | expected difference in rib eye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. A larger value is associated with increased overall carcass muscularity.
Cow Wt. (lb) | expected difference in mature weight of daughters compared to the daughters of other sires. Height (in) | expected difference in mature height of a sire’s daughters compared to daughters of other sires.
Meat Yield (%) | expected difference in lean meat yield of progeny carcasses. This EPD is positively impacted by ribeye area and negatively by backfat thickness.
Stayability (%) | expected difference in the probability that a bull’s daughters will still be in production at six years of age. 21

• Viscous and cloudy mucus • Cow no longer accepts to be mounted • Bleeding can be seen 24 to 48 hours after the true heat period
Important to remember: • When bred, cows should have calved at least 50 days before and heifers should be 13 to 15 months old. • The best time for heat detection is early in the morning and in the evening. • The most common mistake is breeding too soon. • As a rule of thumb, a cow that is "coming into heat" should be bred the next day whereas the one that accepts to be mounted in the morning should be bred within the same day.
Kamar heatmount detectors…
for more successful A.I. in your herd.
A Kamar is a pressure sensitive device containing red ink that is glued onto the rump. When a cow is mounted, the mechanism is activated and the detector turns from white to red indicating the cow is in heat.
Helpful hints • Detector must be placed on the spine, between the tail head and the hip bones. Generally speaking, a taller cow should have the detector placed to the rear.
• Each box also contains a glue tube, a spreader and a convenient holder to cut down on sticky hands. • A thin even layer of adhesive on detector and animal gives much better adhesion than a big glob. • Important: Arrow must point forward. Do not press on plastic bubble. • Detectors do not replace adequate heat detection that remains essential morning and evening. It is an aid in identifying cows coming into estrus between your observation sessions. • A firm standing mount of at least 3 seconds is required to activate the detector.

• Usually, a partially red detector indicates a cow is coming into heat. Watch this cow closely and wait for the detector to turn fully red before breeding. • It is important to remove obstacles which might dislodge or falsely trigger a detector, such as low hanging branches, back scratchers, cattle oilers or other equipment. • Kamar detectors are now dated for better results. While they will work long after expiration date, it is recommended that you order anticipated needs as closely as possible to avoid carry-over. • Store in a cool and dry place.

synchronization a highly effective protocol! With the help of CIDR, a vaginal implant containing progesterone, synchronization of heat and ovulation is now more accurate and translates into higher conception rates of around 70%.
Day 1
8:00 a.m.
An offer you won’t want to miss! Free repeat services (semen and service) within 30 days after fixed-time A.I. where CIDR was used to synchronize ovulations:
(Ex.: Tuesday 1st week)
- CIDR inserted - GnRH injection
Day 7
• Only Québec cow-calf breeders are eligible.
9:00 a.m.
• Fixed-time A.I. must have previously been performed by a Ciaq technician and semen used must have been from bulls marketed by Ciaq.
(Ex.: Monday 2nd week)
- Prostaglandins injection
