Records Keeping Herd Inventory:
Weaning: ▪ Decided to Quiet wean ▪ Nose flaps went in on Sept 10 ▪ Calves pulled off cows on Sept 15 We chose to quiet wean to reduce stress on the calves and cows, in turn we saw that the calves lost less weight during soft weaning then normal hard weaning.
Gold Analysis: Growth Rate▪ ▪ ▪
Bull calf avg WW=702 lbs Heifer calf avg WW=681 lbs AVG Cow Weight= 1383 lbs
Bulls are 50.8%, Heifers are 49.2% of the cows’ weight and the industry average that the calves should be is 43% of their dams weight so we surpass that milestone. Open Rate▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪
36 Bred Cows 8 Bred Heifers 5 open Females (3 heifers, 2 cows) 10.2% open rate The industry standard for open rate 4%

Length of Calving season▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪
To be determined AI dates from April 6th to 26th Bulls put out April 6th/28th, pulled June 21st/22nd Breeding season = 77 days The industry standard for length of calving season is 63 days
Death loss▪ ▪
To be determined Industry AVG is 4% during calving and 3-7% from branding to weaning
RegisteringThis year we decided to name all our calves based on either their dam or sire and names starting with J (the letter for this year) Some of examples of the names we chose are: ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

Last Year’s Recommendations •
Have pre-purchase exam performed on horses prior to purchase ➢ A pre-purchase exam was performed on Thunder at owner’s expense
•
Start looking for summer pasture in the first semester ➢ Advertisements seeking summer pasture were posted
•
Get professional photos taken of horses ➢ We plan to get a professional photographer for the catalogue photos in Semester 2
•
Brand horses in the first few weeks of school ➢ We branded our geldings on December 3rd
Page 17 of 48
Range and Forage There were 8 geldings at Rafter H Livestock for a total cost of $1,392. There were 9 broodmares at Rafter H Livestock after breeding for a total cost of $1,059. The mare care had an average cost of $271/mare between East and West Ranching Company; Myterra Ranch; Miller Quarter Horses; Southern Springs Stable; Shady Willows Ranch; and Rafter H Livestock. This brings our total grazing cost to $4,888. The Equine SMF Team is also looking for pasture to rent for the summer.

About Our Unit The 2021-2022 marks the sixth year of operation for our Student Managed Farm Unit. Our unit consists of seven students from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario. This year we went through a rebranding of our unit. We wanted the unit name to encompass the grazing aspect which our unit is focused on and so we changed the name from Livestock Research Unit to Extensive Grazing Research Unit. We have continued working away at managing our unit with the intentions of maintaining an economically viable, extensive herd while exploring various cattle management practices. The vision our unit has for our herd is to achieve maximum grazing time while remaining extensive and low maintenance in our management and continue to build a strong maternal herd that contains a large amount of background performance and breed composition data.
Goals for the Year Short Term • •
As a team create a marketing plan for the sale of calves and have sold by Christmas break Successfully complete and stay on top of management tasks this semester by referencing previous year’s production calendars and establishing specific completion dates
Long Term •
•
Stay on top of communication between the team and working successfully together by submitting weekly committee reports Bring awareness to the College’s Student Managed Farm and research trials by increasing social media interactions by 15%
Swot Analysis Strengths • • •

Herd Inventory Numbers 63 cow-calf pairs 5 bred heifers 1 Hereford bull 1 Black Angus bull
Key Performance Indicators- GOLD
Vaccinations and Treatments Our calves were administered vitamins A, D, and E as well as Selenium to help prevent deficiencies. This summer a steer calf was supplemented with milk replacer and electrolytes, as he was sick (depressed) and had a lower temperature than normal. This fall we treated two sick calves that were showing signs of runny eyes, snotty noses, and depressed looking with Resflor. Both responded well to treatment and didn’t require retreatment. On December 1st, our team vaccinated our sixteen replacement heifer calves with Bovi-Shield Gold One Shot, and Ultra 7/Somubac. Ivomec was also administered to the replacement heifer calves, as well as our mature cows.
Reproduction Breeding season started on July 21st as our bulls were turned out to pasture. Our bulls were then pulled in on September 30th, as they spent an extra week on pasture due to the Research Departments CERES tags ongoing trial. This resulted in a 71-day breeding period. On LC 15/16 our Hereford bull was exposed to nineteen mature cows, while on LC 24 our Black Angus bull and rented Black Angus bull from the Commercial Team where exposed to forty-four mature cows and five replacement heifers. On October 31st, our Research herd was pregnancy checked. Our outcome for this year's open rate is 0%.

Nutrition This year our unit had plans for our cows to graze on oat swaths on LCP10. After testing these oats, we found they were high in nitrates and had to come up with another plan for this feed. After an additional test and a lower nitrate level we were able to make a new grazing plan based on these levels where the oats will not make up more than 50% of their diet. After weaning we moved our cows and to the oat regrowth. The cows have been supplemented with a shredded blend of oat bales, barley greenfeed bales, and alfalfa with the bale shredder and spreading it in the pasture for them to consume. We plan to shred fewer bales more frequently to reduce wastage and to ensure that our cows are cleaning up what is out there before supplying them with more.
