Debris from the nearby Coronation landfill is strewn about fields in a photo submitted as part of the June 16 appeal of bFi Canada’s permit for dump expansion. ECA Review/Submitted
Residents raise stink at dump hearing John MacNeil
Review Reporter There was plenty of trash talk Monday in Castor. Five hours’ worth of landfill banter, in fact. About 50 people crowded the County of Paintearth council chambers for a county development appeal board hearing that will determine the fate of BFI Canada’s expansion permit plans for the Coronation dumpsite. Most of those at the hearing spoke or applauded in opposition to the BFI proposal, because of what those Coronation-area landowners believe is mismanagement of the current operation. In letter after letter and presentation after presentation, residents cited debris, seagulls and truck mud as changing the landscape of their hometown and the value of their rural lifestyle. They contend BFI isn’t managing the truckloads of garbage that come from Calgary daily with city waste. For their part, BFI representatives said the company must do a better job of cleaning up debris in the area, but that the region would continue to benefit from BFI’s presence as a local employer and community supporter. The man in the spotlight was permit appellant Bill Heidecker, who took an hour and 10 minutes to make his formal presentation to a three-man appeal board made up of Walter Pickles, Lorne Rodvang and Gordon Wakefield. “It’ll be a few days before there’s a decision in writing,” said Pickles, who chaired an appeal board made up entirely of community members-atlarge (Coun. Rocky Dahmer opted out of the proceedings because of a conflict of interest). Heidecker, whose farmland borders the contentious dump, said he filed an appeal because he had run out of patience with BFI and the company’s negligence to address health-related concerns. “The only real way to mitigate risk and protect residents … is to reject this application fully,” Heidecker said. “The negative impacts far outweigh any purported benefits to this community. “Considering past performance, their (BFI’s) credibility has to be re-established. When it boils down to money versus community, it boils down to
money with BFI.” Heidecker used extensive video in his presentation, which included pictures of litter strewn across fields and ditches bordering the landfill. “I can’t apologize enough for the pictures you saw,” BFI lawyer Tim Bardsley, a former Calgary politician, said in his closing argument. “They’re embarrassing.” He also said the company recognizes it must do a better job of fencing the dump property and keeping affected landowners informed of developments on the site. “Communication here has been woeful.” Bardsley said BFI would be receptive to regular dialogue with citizens and the County of Paintearth. In the short-term, he said, the garbage still in the area must be cleaned up and that BFI is committed to doing so. Those assurances didn’t seem to convince the landowners, almost all of whom sat through the entire hearing. Among them were Dale and Brenda Brigley, who have raised three children at their home between Coronation and the dumpsite. “It is our belief that expansion of this site will only compound the established
Rosebush Lodge
pattern of what has already occurred,” Dale Brigley told the appeal board. “We have a window of opportunity to ensure that the breadth and scope of what has been happening will be stopped, our environment recovered and protected in the future. Adding more
conditions to a permit is not a reasonable solution. The health and wellness of our residents, community and environment depend upon good choices now. “It is our urgent request that permit No. DP1405 be withdrawn. Turn to Next application, Pg 5

TOWN OF CORONATION
Inordinate business design piques council’s concerns John MacNeil
Review Reporter Coronation town council took a double take at a proposed business building that councillors believe is unorthodox and perhaps out of sync with the Victoria Avenue landscape. At its June 9 meeting, council received a take-out restaurant development application from Lisa Dakin and Jack Schmelzer of Coronation. They proposed a 12-X-20-foot building that would be constructed between Jack’s Shoe Store and Coronation OK Tire. “I have a problem with the size,” said Coun. Shelley Cook. “I have a problem with the design,” said Coun. Brett Alderdice. The meeting was told that the proposed building would essentially be half the width of the shoe store and half the length. “But it’s just a takeout restaurant,” said Coun. Liz Adams. “It doesn’t have to be big.”
Town administrator Sandra Kulyk advised that the application is compliant with town bylaws. “We have a maximum height (requirement), but it is compliant,” she said. “It is to the letter of the bylaw … a valid, compliant application.” Deputy Mayor Jackie Brigley said it might be time to redesign the bylaw governing such developments. “I think maybe our requirements need some updating,” Brigley said. “… You can’t just build half a building.” Cook said consideration must be given to neighbouring businesses such as Apache, which has a reputable property that complements the town’s appearance. “I’m concerned, if I owned Apache …,” she said. Kulyk recommended that council request the developers consider a building of heritage design.
Give a dog a bone
Coronation council approved a
request from the town’s new bylaw enforcement officer, Sheri Wuzinski, to amend the animal bylaw by streamlining the timeframe for keeping captured dogs impounded. “She wanted clarification on when we apprehend a dog, how long do we keep it?” Kulyk said. “It didn’t make sense to have two different thresholds. “She recommended (that dog owners have) three business days to retrieve your animal.” Under the previous bylaw, town residents had seven days to retrieve an animal, if the town knew the owner of the dog, but just three days if the owner wasn’t immediately known. Council gave unanimous consent to the bylaw amendment.

School board adds $80,000 to budget for housing repairs John MacNeil
Prairie Land Regional Division plans to spend up to $80,000 this summer to upgrade residential facilities that staff has deemed unsightly and in deterioration. At its June 11 meeting in Hanna, the school board voted 4-3 to spend money that wasn’t budgeted for this year, instructing secretary-treasurer Sharon Orum to draw on reserves to cover the costs. Superintendent Wes Neumeier said that he and Orum had visited housing facilities — known as teacherages — throughout the division and recommended immediate repairs to accommodations in Altario, Consort and Cessford. Facilities director Kent Spath gave an $80,000 estimate that covers windows, shingles, house wrap and roofing projects. “Improving the standard … is going to cost some money,” said Neumeier, advising that a five-year plan would further that cause. “This is not a small thing. This is a necessary thing.” Neumeier said that although not all of the school division’s teacherages are occupied by teaching staff, the facilities are
most useful when new teachers are trying to find accommodations in the mostly rural region. “I believe these assets are important to the board.” Trustee Barry Davis, who represents the Altario/Consort ward, begrudgingly made the motion to increase the 2013-14 housing budget “in the amount not to exceed $80,000” for renovations to the apartment units/buildings identified as unsatisfactory. “I think the job should be done for significantly less,” said Davis, who still believes the residences are necessary to attract young teachers to the district. Davis and fellow trustees Dean Hansen (Youngstown/ Hanna rural), Holli Smith (Berry Creek) and Marsha Tkach (Veteran) voted in favour of the motion, while Lyle Cawiezel (Morrin), Jada Hill (Hanna) and Angie Warwick (Hanna) voted against it. Warwick, who had asked for the recorded vote, questioned the value of committing money toward housing units not always used by teachers, or occupied at all. “For a significant amount of time, these teacherages are empty,” she said.

Rave review
Coun. Alderdice reported that he attended the June 7 ceremonial review for the town’s new cadet squadron, the formerly Castor-based 572 squadron. “I’m very proud of the kids,” he said, noting the commanding officer said the
“It’s a little shocking to me … to put $80,000 into them. I have some reservations … if it’s not for the teachers’ units.” Orum advised that the $80,000 price tag was “a rough estimate,” adding “I would say it’s on the higher side.” Whatever the actual cost of the contracted work, the project is to be completed before Aug. 31, the meeting was told. Hansen said that it wouldn’t be wise to delay the jobs, because that would cause other problems, such as leaky roofs, and more costs down the road. In the long-term picture, “I’ve asked Kent (Spath) for a 10-year facility plan,” Neumeier said. “… So this isn’t going to happen anymore.”

cadets completed a year’s worth of work in four months because of the transition time constraints. “It’s staying here in Coronation.” Alderdice advised that next year’s review is also on the first Saturday of June. “They would like more representation from council” at the ceremony, he said. Mayor Mark Stannard noted that June is a busy time of the year, and all groups in the region must try to avoid scheduling conflicts as much as possible.
Council accepted a recommendation from Kulyk to reduce the number of flag poles in town, because the annual replacement of each is “quite expensive,” she said.

Capettini, along with Tizita Hill, Ava Funkhouser and Michaela Reitsma, grew the tomato plants and fish by reusing water in an aquaponic system. The Lacombe students just won the 2014 Battle River Watershed Alliance and Agrium Caring for our Watersheds contest for their aquaponic food system that symbiotically grows both herbs and fish for the school’s cafeteria. They hope to eventually sell the fish at a local grocery store and farmers’ markets in central Alberta. Their system reduces the amount of water, chemicals and nutrients needed to produce food.

RCMP extend thanks to caring community
of the special relationship between our community and their RCMP detachment. While we all have our own unique roles and live our own lives — in the end, we are all Canadians. Together we share the joys of living in the best place on earth, and indeed we hurt and heal together when tragedy strikes. The members of the Coronation RCMP detachment would like to offer our thanks to all those who have provided expressions of support during this difficult time. The men and women of the RCMP are often referred to as “Canada’s finest.” This term could certainly be applied to the great people of Coronation, Castor, Paintearth County and surrounding areas, as well. It is our sincere privilege to serve you. Thank you. Sgt. D.R. (Darcy) McGunigal Detachment Commander, Coronation RCMP
‘Next application will be the testing period’ Cont’d from Pg 2 “We firmly stand with the belief that no other application for expansion should be considered until the organization managing the landfill establishes a reputation of upholding county expectations, as well as the provincial standards that are clearly outlined.” John Rush, the district manager of the Coronation landfill, said challenges such as extreme weather, wind and bitter cold can impact operations accordingly. “We do our best, but we have to expect that some of that material is going to release,” he said, noting one storm levelled two fences meant to contain litter. “It’s all in how we react. We’re always improving. BFI is committed to improving as we go forward.” BFI and its parent company, Progressive Waste Solutions, had more than half a dozen representatives at the hearing. Rush said manpower has been an issue locally, and that the company has had to bring in workers from Red Deer and elsewhere to fill jobs. He said BFI’s 15 full-time employees in Coronation all live in the community and spend money locally. “We support a lot of businesses … and there’s spinoff business such as trucking and restaurants.” This year, the company has contributed $70,000 to community organizations in the region, from rodeos and bull-a-ramas to 4-H, minor sports and others, Rush said. Residents brought their checklists to the hearing, too, and complained about dump debris, noise, possible contaminants and hours of operation. “It’s out of control,” said Melissa Davies, also speaking on behalf of her husband Aaron. “I ride my horses all around — through the fields and ditches (near the dump). It is embarrassing.” East Central Alberta Review newspaper publisher Joyce Webster said in a letter to the appeal board that she has begun to question whether Coronation is a desirable place to live in retirement. “We have wasted millions of dollars (on the water pipeline) and immeasurable hours trying to attract people to Coronation, and all for naught if we continue to be the dumping ground for Calgary garbage,” said Webster, who runs a business in Coronation and lives in the County of Paintearth, about 10 miles from the dump. Land value, water pollution, flies, air quality, excessive seagull population, dust and garbage were among concerns
itemized by longtime resident and businesswoman Linda Osetsky. “I feel the county should reassess the development-permit process, especially for such environmentally dangerous projects,” said Oslanski, the president of R.M. Merchant and Sons Ltd. “Any approval of developments such as BFI’s expansion are premature and dangerous until the county has established proper enforcement bylaws and (is) committed to enforcing them.” County development officer Todd Pawsey agreed the BFI case has changed the way the county would handle future development requests. “That’s one thing that we’ve probably got a lot of good coming out of this hearing,” Pawsey said in an interview afterward. “We’ve already got in plan to strengthen our land-use bylaw for landfill regulations. “We wanted to make sure that we can only hit them with what we’re allowed to, because otherwise they can throw it out on a technicality. Like, we can’t go into the Alberta Environment stuff. That’s not our purview.” County lawyer Alison Espetveidt said any suggestions that the county wasn’t doing enough to protect landowners don’t recognize that binding conditions weren’t in place. “Going forward, with conditions imposed, there is an opportunity for enforcement,” she said. Pawsey believes that’s good news for all parties. “We are limited to only being able to enforce conditions on a permit,” he said. “And if we don’t get specific, measurable, time-targeted constraint, results-focused conditions, how do you enforce it? “Yeah, we’ve got some homework of our own to do, too. That was evident and I think we’ve already recognized that. … There’s a lot of things we’re getting ready for next time. Because we’d rather have this (discussion) come with less animosity, with less emotion, but have more of a pre-batter-it-out in public before you do the application, so by the time you do the application, most of this stuff is already done. “It won’t take away anyone’s opportunity to appeal it, but at least it gets it out into the open before they apply. (BFI’s) next application will be the testing period. Have they met what they said they were going to do with this one? “They know that their feet are to the fire now, both from the residents and from us.”

‘Give us free service’
ECA review
Opinion
Brenda Schimke
ECA Review Journalist The astonishing part to the whole story was not that some New Democrat (ND) MPs were found guilty of spending $1.17 million on a mass mailing that was too partisan. The surprising part wasn’t that the decision was made by a House of Commons committee in secret whose majority membership was made up of Conservatives. It wasn’t even disconcerting that Liberals on the committee joined with their arch-rival Conservative MPs to slap the NDs with the charges. No, what was most astonishing, surprising and disconcerting was $1.13 million of that total was owed to Canada Post. Now Canadians view Canada Post as a business that should succeed without having to resort to taxpayers’ support. The Conservative government and the previous Liberal governments with Paul Martin as finance minister preached the same mantra. Yet we now learn that the long-held-government policy allowing all elected officials to send free “non-partisan” mail to their The government constituents is can’t have it both ways: actually financed by Canada Post. ‘Give us (MPs) free service, When Canada Post was finanbut charge your paying cially supported by government-colcustomers lected taxes, this policy made sense. more so that you do Today, Canada Post is not critical not run a deficit.’ to big businesses. Most of their receipts, expenditures and correspondence are electronic. The same can be said for individuals. But having a national postal service is critical for small businesses, charities and rural Canadians. Small businesses still receive the lion share of their payments through the mail. Charities live and die on mail-focused fundraising campaigns. Small towns and rural Canadians see their post offices as important service providers. Online orders delivered to rural Canada by Canada Post are easily retrieved. Courier companies may attempt to deliver packages in rural Alberta, but those undelivered could end up on a truck back to a major centre 100 kilometres away, or stolen from the front porch. Canada Post’s mandate from the Government of Canada is to fund their operations solely with the revenues earned from the sale of its products and services, not taxpayer dollars. The government can’t have it both ways, “give us (MPs) free service, but charge your paying customers more so that you do not run a deficit.” With the financial challenges facing Canada Post, small businesses and charities, it is only right that this multimillion dollar freebie to MPs end or be rightfully charged against the federal budget. Rural Canadians need Canada Post. Our economy needs financially healthy, small businesses. Our society needs charities. Let’s give them a fighting chance and stop piling on inappropriate costs!

Billions of dollars wasted on environmental foolishness I was just reading an article in Maclean’s magazine. That article just shows you how foolish our society is getting. The article talks about some universities giving consideration to divest themselves of their shares in fossil fuel energy companies. They seem to suggest that if they did that, it would speed up the development of renewable energy. Other than hydro, other renewable energy is totally unreliable. I do not think it accounts for more that five per cent of our current energy supply and if the wind does not blow, a fossil fuel generator has Schwenk to supply the short fall. It will be a long time before renewable energy can replace fossil fuel as a reliable energy source. We keep hearing about global warming being the cause of some of the extreme weather events that are occurring lately. If people would pay attention they would discover that mean global temperatures have not changed in the last 17 years. In fact it may have cooled a bit. I think what is contributing to extreme weather is the cold air mixing with warm moist air. I have been keeping track and for the last four years our temperature has been below average. A Swedish researcher has been analyzing the effect of higher CO2 concentrations on mean world

source. The higher the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is actually a positive for the environment. Plants need CO2 to grow. A 100 years ago there was probably about 325 parts per million of CO2 in our atmosphere. Now there is about 400. From an agriculturist point of view this is good news because we can grow better crops with a given amount of moisture. Greenhouses add extra CO2 to enhance maximum plant growth. The ideal concentration of CO2 for agriculture production would be about 600 parts per million. Boy! Wouldn’t that make the environmentalists scream bloody murder? You know this carbon thing is one of the largest frauds that the environmental movement has imposed on mankind. It has nothing to do with the environment. It is all about transferring wealth from rich countries to Third World countries. If you are watching TV right now you can see what a Third World country does when it gets some wealth. They proceed to kill every one else around them. If the environmentalists had their way, it wouldn’t be long before everyone had a Third World living standard. The billions of dollars that has been wasted on this foolishness would have gone a long way to assist people in poor countries. Herman Schwenk Coronation

global temperatures. What he has found so far is that as CO2 concentrations go up, global temperatures actually go down. This is opposite to what the climate change advocates are trying to tell us. It makes sense. If CO2 can trap heat in the atmosphere it can also repel solar heat from entering our atmosphere. Another issue that the climate change advocates try to use to prove that we have catastrophic global warming is that more of the arctic ice is melting each year. What they and the media party (as Sun News calls them) won’t acknowledge is that this is not caused by global warming. It is caused by soot from coal fired generating stations in China, Russia and India. The power plants in these countries do not use the clean coal technology that is used in this country. If you pay any attention to TV news you will be aware that the smog from these plants is so thick some days in parts of China that you can barely see across the street. Weather moves this sooty smog across the arctic ocean where some of it settles on the ice and absorbs the sun’s rays. This is what is causing the ice to melt. Researchers discovered some time ago that the ice in the western arctic melts faster than the east and this is due to more of this soot settling closer to the

It pumps blood to all parts of your body. It works all the time, even when you’re sleeping. Think about how you would make other muscles in your body strong, such as your arm or leg muscles. Exercise, followed by rest and good eating habits, is the key to a strong muscle and a healthy treasure chest.
ou have a treasure chest with you every day. Inside your chest, there is a treasure that keeps you alive. It is your heart. Your heart is in the middle of your chest, a little to the left. Put your hand on your chest and be very still. Can you feel your heart beating? Your heart is actually a muscle, a very strong muscle.

Jumping rope is fun and it is good exercise. It is a workout for your legs, your arms and your cardiovascular system (your heart and lungs)! Jumping rope is a sport you can do almost anywhere! Try it – you’ll LOVE it!
Real hearts don’t look much like Valentine hearts. Inside the treasure chest is a picture of a real heart. The tubes that stick out from the heart are the arteries and veins that carry blood to and from all parts of your body. Arteries carry blood from your heart to your body, to deliver oxygen. Veins carry the blood, minus oxygen, back to your heart.

Your heart needs exercise, just like all of the other muscles in your body. The faster you move, the faster your heart beats. Exercising for a while every day is good for the heart. Place two fingers on the inner side of your left wrist. Do you feel a little jump? This is the blood from your heart going to your hand. You can feel that jump every time your heart beats. This is called your pulse. Jump up and down 10 times. Is your pulse faster or slower?

Completion rates climb in Clearview schools Clearview Public Schools high school completion rate continues to climb, states a news release from the school board. The percentage of students completing high school in Clearview is almost 10 per cent higher than the provincial average, the board reported. Clearview’s high school completion rate is 84.4 per cent, up from 81.6 per cent, and compared to a provincial average of 74.9 per cent in the accountability pillar provincial survey. “What this tells us is we are moving in the right direction,” said board chair Ken Checkel. “It takes an entire team of educators, support staff, students and parents working together right from kindergarten to achieve this kind of result. We’re really proud we’ve made such significant progress towards our goal of success for all students.” John Bailey, superintendent of Clearview, said, “The results are exciting. We are working to engage children in their school experience, and we will continue to move forward with this focus
so that more of our students make a successful transition into their adult lives.” The graduation rates are calculated annually and reported on the accountability pillar report summary. The accountability pillar report is similar to a report card on a school jurisdiction, comparing its current results against previous three years of results, and against the provincial average. For every public school division in the province, the report shows academic achievement, participation in diploma exams, and the dropout rate / high school completion rates. It also reports on parents’ perspectives, collected through surveys, about whether schools are safe and caring, and whether they feel there is a high quality of education and continuous improvement, citizenship and work preparation in the school, and an opportunity to be involved, as parents. In addition to the climb in high school completion rates, Clearview Public School’s other
measures on the accountability pillar were at or above provincial average, the board said. • Rutherford Scholarship eligibility has climbed from 66.2 per cent last year, and a three-year average of 62.1 per cent, to 67 per cent this year. • Parents’ perspectives about Clearview’s preparation of students for work, and citizenship are at or above provincial average. • Parents’ opinions that their child’s school is safe and caring were measured at 90.6 per cent, above the provincial average of 89.1 per cent. • Parents’ view of the program of studies offered to students and education quality is close to provincial average. • Parents feel they have opportunities to be involved at school, and that their school is experiencing continuous improvement. Both of these measures were above provincial average. “It’s really great to look at this snap-shot of our system and be proud of the progress we continue to make, ” Bailey said.

New superintendent for Clearview school board The Clearview school board has selected Peter Barron for its top job. Barron has been appointed superintendent, replacing the departing John Bailey, “because of his passion for education, innovation and student-centered learning,” the board said in a news release. “Peter comes to Clearview with significant educational experience and a wealth of leadership and governance knowledge.” Board chair Ken Checkel said that as the trustees Barron interviewed Barron, “we were really excited to find a candidate who will continue to take Clearview’s students on the path of success, including our Inspiring Education initiatives. “Parents, students, educators and staff will appreciate Mr. Barron’s focus on 21st century learning, and his ability to positively impact success for all students.” Barron has been at Elk Island Public Schools for 31 years as an English and French teacher, assistant principal, principal and director in a central office
“moving the new provincial direction forward.” He also spent a year seconded to Alberta Education as the assistant director for national and international education. Barron’s training includes an arts degree in English and French, as well as an education degree from the University of Alberta. In 2006, he received his Master of Education in educational administration and leadership from the University of Alberta. “I am thrilled and proud to join the team at Clearview Public Schools,” Barron said. “Clearview has an excellent reputation as a progressive, positive learning organization that believes all students can be successful. I look forward to working with staff and communities, too, as we continue to embrace and support all that we can and will be.” Barron is married to Deb Barron, who is a junior high principal. He enjoys attending sporting events, Twitter and a great book. Barron will assume the role of superintendent on July 26, and plans to arrive in mid-summer to get acquainted with edu-
cational staff and administration. Bailey is moving on to become the

Global effort rooted in Coronation Submitted Every year, the Coronation and Area Foodgrains Grow Project gets planted in our area with the purpose of responding to world hunger. Even though it seems routine, the grow project continues to have significant impact. Here are two examples:
Kenya
Our team works with the African Christian Churches and Schools to respond to hunger needs in Mai Mahiu. Mai Mahiu is a small village in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya. Starting in 2011, the people of Mai Mahiu desperately needed food assistance as Kenya was entering into one of the worst droughts in 50 years. After feeding numerous families, a few pounds of maize, beans and oil weekly for 18 months, the project began working to change the local agriculture industry to help the community become sustainable. Today, you can visit dozens of farms in this area that use modern soil and moisture conservation techniques, grow many varieties of drought resistant crops and can water their crops year round from plastic lined dugouts. Today, this area still is in the midst of a staggering drought but have achieved food security because of the widespread implementation of new farming techniques. Members of our grow project were able to tour this project this past year and were thoroughly moved by the fundamental change in the practices and spirit of this community. This project cost a total of $368,000 over four years including the food assistance and development work. Our local grow project funded approximately 65 per cent of this project.
Lebanon
Our team, led by our partner Rupen
Das, is supporting the Lebanese Society for Educational and Social Development with 18-month food distribution for nonregistered Syrian refugees in Lebanon. The project makes food available for 11,600 people who have sought refuge in Lebanon due to the escalation of violence in Syria. Having lost their sources of income, most are not able to purchase sufficient food to meet their household needs. The project has supplied more then 354 tonnes of food ranging from beans and sugar to pasta. This significant response to the Syrian crisis mobilized $855,181 over the 18-month period. This project was over 50 per cent funded by our Coronation and Area Grow Project.

AG r i c u Lt u r e
Spring reflections and calf deaths By Kris Ringwall, Beef Specialist, North Dakota State University Extension Service The next week will be busy at the Dickinson Research Extension Center. The cows have been turned out on coolseason grass and the yearlings need to be worked. The yearling steers are vaccinated and have been turned out for summer grazing or sent to the feedlot. The center typically sends half the yearling steers to grass and the other half directly to the feedlot. The yearling heifers also need to be processed, the replacements sorted off and the remaining heifers spayed and sent to grass. Replacements basically are preselected because the breed type is monitored and fit into the center’s crossbreeding program. Historically, the center would prefer to mate a different breed of bull to a crossbred cow. The industry calls that crossbreeding, and the center looks to achieve maximum hybrid vigor in the cow and the calf by utilizing different breed types in the sires that are used. Those heifers that are not in the replacement program are vaccinated, spayed and sent to grass along with the steers. Last year was the first year the center spayed heifers and the heifers did well. By the time the heifers were harvested, 71.6 percent of the heifers graded upper choice or prime, with 97.5 percent of the heifers having a yield grade of 3 or lower. The center had zero death losses, and the average daily gain in the feedlot was 3.56 pounds per day, with a 6.27 drymatter feed conversion. After feedlot costs, the heifers returned to the ranch, on average, $1,454 per head. The heifers did well, and producers should not hesitate to contact their local veterinarian to explore the concept of spaying extra heifers. The challenge of running open heifers on grass with all the neighborhood bulls possibly getting loose is frustrating. Because the heifers are spayed, the heifers are more content and focus on grazing and gaining weight. Last year’s heifers gained about 2 pounds a day on grass, and the expectation would be similar for this year. There certainly is a good feeling when the winter pens or paddocks are empty and the cattle are on grass. There is that subtle thought and peace of mind once the stock are unloaded and settle into their grazing routine. However, don’t dream too long because this is a good time to reflect on last year’s calving season. Just how many of those calves did you turn out to pasture? Not to bring up the tough times, but not long ago, the cows were calving, the temperature was cold and the mud was deep. Experience would say that you do not want to ask managers how calving went because the response would be less than objective as they reflect on the bone-chilling cold and not getting enough sleep. However, one should ask at the conclusion of the calving season and spring turnout just how well the calving season went. Now is perhaps the best time to make a few notes on what to change for next year.
The first step is to list the dead calves. I hope your cattle are in a record system that will provide that information. If not, grab a piece of paper and pencil and list the calves. Although painful, it is important because a producer needs to count every single calf that died. The calving notebook should have the dead calves listed along with a brief notation on what happened to each one. Until all the calves are listed, the shock of lost opportunities has not had its full impact. Currently, the CHAPS five-year rolling average for percentage of calf death is 3.3 percent. The math is fairly simple to determine the percentage. A producer adds up the number of calves that died and divides that by the number of cows that calved. Fortunately, although not always timely, a few sets of twins show up, and grafting calves from one cow to the next is a common management practice. As a side note, buying calves is not encouraged because the potential to expose the herd to new health issues is real. Now back to the question of how many calves were lost. The producer should take a serious look at the reasons why each calf died and what could be done next time to save it. In reality, a calf death loss of zero probably is not realistic. Knowing one’s calf death loss rate can stimulate managerial thinking and open up doors for improvement, particularly if the operation exceeds the average of 3.3 percent. The search for answers is important. Although a particular reason may not surface, a general acknowledgment of the actual number will facilitate potential change. Winter quarters often are a mix of several problems confounded by overcrowding, problems in cow/calf pair management or lot conditions. As the cattle are readjusting to summer pasture, now is the time to identify those winter stress points and fix them. May you find all your ear tags.

After a life of working in the oil patch and driving trucks, Ed decided to take it a little easier. All those jangled miles on the road were taking a toll on his lower back. However, life in his recliner was tougher on him than bouncing around on a long haul, so he picked up the phone and called Mike, wondering if they had any opportunities. A new door opened. “Here I am,” says Ed with a big friendly smile. “It’s a blessing.” He absolutely enjoys the work, meeting people and staying vital. If you’re looking for a new vehicle, give Ed a call. You’ll be impressed by how hard he’ll work for you.
