POINTS TO PONDER

From the Field Helge By

The early Charolais sales have been very strong from coast to coast and the enthusiasm from many of the new breeders is infectious within the industry. The Ontario Charolais Association did a great job organizing and hosting a very successful show and sale with participation from across the country. The Edmonton show was again a great event with solid entries in the Players Club and Pair of Heifers Jackpots. The entries for Agribition are up and should be a great show and sale again as always. When you read this, the fall sales will be all but wrapped up and I hope that your participation in them will be rewarding for your program for years to come. Many have already started working on their bull sales with planning for their catalogues and advertising. There is more to a successful bull sale than breeding and feeding and the truly great ones are worked on yearround. Having worked with 100s of breeders over the years, it is interesting that some of the breeders are working on their next sale the day

after the sale. They are making notes and contacting buyers that were and were not successful bidders. They are analyzing what they need to do next year to make the sale more successful and what worked well this year. On the other hand, there are breeders who don’t start planning until the push is on to get the bulls registered and information sent in for the catalogue. They then start asking about changes, while sometimes not remembering what actually took place at the last sale. Making notes throughout the year will always help make your next event better. We were asked why some breeders always get the best spots for their advertisements in the magazines. The reason is many breeders are contract advertisers and get the same spot, as they commit to it from year to year. If you would like a specific spot in the Banner or Connection, give us a call and we can discuss this with you. The 2020 Canadian Charolais Association Annual General Meeting is being hosted by Manitoba next June and it will be a 60th Anniversary celebration. If you were at the 50th celebration in Moose Jaw in 2010, you will remember how much fun it was

Charolais Banner • December 2019

and how great it was to see so many past breeders come to help with the celebration. If you know of any retired breeders in your area that would enjoy attending, be sure to encourage them to come. I know the Manitoba breeders will put on a first-class event. Bull sale season is just around the corner and we are already working on our picturing and videoing schedules for the many ads and catalogues being produced for the upcoming year. I hope your bull pen is looking good and you will feed and promote them to their fullest potential. We are poised for a great bull selling spring, but you still need to work on staying in touch with past customers and getting the best pictures for the promotion of them to maximize your returns. If you have any questions, or if Jon Wright, Robbie Chomik, or I can be of any assistance, please don’t hesitate to drop us a line. Wishing each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous Charolais New Year! Until next time, Helge

Les ventes Charolais hâtives de l’automne sont en forme et apportent avec elles un climat enthousiaste provenant des nouveaux éleveurs de côte en côte. Notre association Ontarienne Charolais a organisé un superbe jugement et une vente rempli de succès avec des participants provenant de tous les coins du pays. Le jugement qui a eu lieu à Edmonton fut un autre événement marqueur avec des inscriptions hors pairs dans la classe de Player’s Club ainsi que pour les duos femelles Jackpot. Les inscriptions de l’Agribition sont complètes, on s’attend à un jugement et une vente de qualité comme il y a toujours eu lieu. Lorsque vous lirez ces quelques lignes, les ventes d’automne seront complétés et j’espère que votre participation saura continuer l’engouement pour la race et portera fruit pour les générations à venir. Plusieurs d’entre vous ont débuté leur planification pour une vente de taureaux du printemps, soit en préparation d’un catalogue ou du côté marketing. Une vente réussite n’est pas lié seulement à la reproduction et l’engraissement. Ceux qui réussissent planifient à l’année longue. J’ai remarqué, au fils des ans et après

avoir fait équipe avec des centaines de clients, que ceux qui réussissent planifie leur prochaine vente le lendemain de leur vente. Ils prennent des notes, ils rentrent en contact avec ceux qui ont misés sur un taureau mais qui sont repartis avec une remorque vide. Ils analysent ce qui manquaient pour améliorer leur prochaine vente en gardant ce qui fonctionnait. De l’autre côté, nous avons les autres éleveurs qui attendent à la dernière minute pour enregistrer leurs taureaux et envoyer les informations nécessaires pour compléter le catalogue de vente. Ceux-ci decident au dernier moment d'apporter des changements au catalogue tout en se rappelant des détails de la vente précédente. Prendre des notes au long de l’année est essentiel. On se fait demander comment certains producteurs ont les meilleurs pages dans les magazines. Il faut réaliser que certains d’entre eux ont signés un contract de marketing et veulent avoir ces pages clés. Ils font preuve de leur dévouement et engagement pour le succès de leur entreprise. Si vous désirez avoir un endroit spécifique dans le Banner ou le Charolais Connection, veuillez m’en informer et nous pourrons en discuter. Le congrès annuel de l’association Charolais Canadienne aura lieu au

Manitoba en juin 2020 prochain. Nous célébrerons notre 60ème anniversaire. Pour ceux qui étaient présent à la célébration du cinquantième à Moose Jaw en 2010, il est difficile d’oublier le plaisir partagés en compagnie des éleveurs retraités qui ont aidé à faire de cette célébration un succès. Si vous connaissez des éleveurs à la retraite, je vous encourage à les inviter à venir faire un tour. Je suis certain que les éleveurs du Manitoba sauront vous impressionner. La saison de vente de taureaux sera à nos portes sous peu. Nous travaillons présentement sur les horaires de montages vidéos et sessions de photographie pour le nouvel an. J’espère que votre enclos à taureaux est prometteur et qu’ils sont bien nourris afin de promettre leur plein potentiel. Le succès des ventes de taureaux du printemps dépend de l’effort qui est mis au court de l’année en gardant le contact avec des clients potentiels et en ayant des photos de qualité pour rentabiliser votre vente. Pour toutes questions, veuillez contacter Jon Wright, Robbie Chomik ou moi-même, pour une assistance quelconque, n’hésitez pas à nous rejoindre. Je prend cette occasion pour vous souhaitez un très Joyeux noël et une Bonne Année Charolaise rempli de prospérité.

Charolais Banner â&#x20AC;˘ December 2019

Bryan Hicks was raised on a beef farm outside Shelburne, Ontario. His dad worked off the farm, but they had 450 acres and participated in the 4-H program, which was only steers at the time, not heifers, and field crops. His father was a big supporter of the program. “In 1965, Chester Patton showed up at the Shelburne Fall Fair with two green, rank, white Charolais. They were about two feet taller than everything else and half as wide. I was standing there at about four feet tall with a Shorthorn steer that went up to my belt buckle and I think it was close to two years old. I thought there was no future in what I was holding and there has got to be a future in those Charolais. I owned my first cattle at fifteen.” “I went to school for a day and a half most weeks in grade 13, otherwise I just got bored to death. They used to let me know when the exams were so I could be there to write them. I wrote provincial math tests and placed in the top five in the province, because of this I had a scholarship to go to the University of

Waterloo. I applied to go to university in 1970. I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to pursue the math opportunity or stay in Agriculture, which I loved. They had taken us to Waterloo and showed us their first computer. It couldn’t do any more than a smart phone now, but it was the size of the room. I had no money, so I had to decide between taking the bursary to

My purchases had to be polled because I knew we wouldn’t be dehorning cattle forever. d get my education or doing what I wanted. I didn’t make up my mind until the 30th of September and apparently the cut off to show up was earlier than that. Instead of university that year, I had a couple of part time jobs working construction and I worked at a factory in Toronto for about eight weeks and knew I didn’t

want to do that.” “I went to the University of Guelph to become a veterinarian in the fall of 1971. To sustain what I was doing I managed an Angus farm and lived in an apartment above the car garage. I bought and sold cows on contract for research use, at the university. They wanted them to be at a certain stage of pregnancy where they knew they would have no immunity, as they were developing the vaccines for BVD and IBR. They would take the cows to the university, inject them and they would abort the calves. They studied the lesions to identify which virus they were working with. I would buy them back again and get them back in shape.” “I graduated from Guelph and still owned some of my own cows. I went to work in Drayton in 1977. In 1978 I started to practice on my own. In 1979, I started to do work for Charlie Watson and in 1984 I bought my first Charolais after dispersing my commercial cows. At the time, I had a farm outside of Arthur. I think I have made more money buying and selling continued on page 16

farms than I have farming them. I got into the business with a cheque. My purchases had to be polled because I knew we wouldn’t be dehorning cattle forever. Polled genetics, at the time, were poor as far as muscling and meat were concerned. I went to the Lake Erie Breeders production sale and bought some polled cattle. I also bought some polled cattle from Charlie Watson, Donmore Farms, Donnywier Farm and various other breeders in Ontario.” “Hicks Yaziman 29Y was the first homozygous polled bull that I raised. The only way I could prove he was homozygous polled was by leasing him to a Holstein guy to breed his 25 heifers. He had 25 polled Charcross calves which proved he was homozygous polled.” Before the DNA test was developed, it was standard practise to classify a bull homozygous if he was bred to 13 horned females and not one calf exhibited horns. Hicks Charolais exhibited at the Toronto Royal Winter Fair in 1987 and has participated every year since. “It has been a long time since the first night in town was hard on us, but back then, so were the second, third and fourth nights,” he laughs. Their first appearance at Canadian Western Agribition was in 1989 or 90 and they have only missed once since then. He has participated in the Agribition RBC Beef Supreme Challenge five times. Bryan has driven the trip seven times. They showed at the World Congress in Edmonton in 2006. “The World Congresses in Canada in the past actually hurt our export market. In 1986, the cattle were very extreme and

in 2006, the cattle were the opposite. Neither of those types were of interest to the broader world market and it told the world we had nothing to offer. It has taken time and effort to slowly change that perception and it is important to participate in Charolais International events to keep Canada in the discussion.” “At a fair where I was judging, I asked the showmen to stand in the front of their animals and told them to look at their briskets, which were

Hicks Charolais exhibited at the Toronto Royal Winter Fair in 1987 and has participated every year since. huge. I told them, that is all fat. If you have fat there, you have fat everywhere. If you have fat there you aren’t in the beef business, you are in the fat business. Where do you want to be?” Today Hicks Charolais has 80 cows, but they have been as high as 110 cows. They currently have a homozygous polled herd and haven’t had a calf born with a scur in the last four years. Bryan’s plan for his herd has always been muscle. “I differ considerably from what is in the industry. In Ontario, steers don’t go to market until they are 1600 or 1700 pounds. You can’t do that with a frame five cow and a frame six bull unless they are almost three years old. Out west they beat you up if you don’t have a thick haircoat, down here

Charolais Banner • December 2019

it just makes the tag stick to them and they get docked. Down here, we don’t want hair. If they need the hair to stay warm, they will grow it. We need bigger framed animals and we need muscle. I am always looking for homozygous cattle with a lot of muscle. You need to take a cup of water when you look at bulls. If you can pour it in the middle of its back and no water runs off, it has enough muscle. I take disposition as number one criteria, number two is performance and three is feet and legs. I refuse to trim feet; I cull anything that requires it. I breed animals for length. One of the best things the CCA did was put on Breeder’s Schools with Harlan Ritchie, Gary Minish and Roger Hunsley because they knew more about beef than anyone. They taught us how to evaluate muscle mass in a cattle beast by the forearm because there is no fat there. We learned so much from them.” “A guy phoned me and said he found me a homozygous polled bull. I asked him if he had a dip in his back and he said no, so I knew the bull wouldn’t work for me. If that muscle comes around and hooks properly on the back, it will form a bit of a hollow. If it doesn’t have it, the muscle comes out of there flat instead of bulging. If I am looking for an animal at a show, I like to get up early and go to the wash rack. I want to see it with its hair flat.” “One of the worst things to happen to the beef business was the discontinuation of paying money to continued on page 18 Hicks Zealander 44Z

OBITUARY

Leonard Nykoliation 1939-2019

Leonard Nykoliation passed away peacefully in his home on October 15th just 11 days short of his 80th birthday. Left to mourn is his wife of 58 years, Marilyn, and his sons, Greg (Jody), Mike (Kylee) and Gord (Lisa). Six grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, many siblings, nieces and nephews. Growing up in the Lenore district he attended school at Ravine. Working on the farm with his dad and later for farmers in the area was his passion. In 1961, he married Marilyn Gee and working in Virden, they purchased their first house in town.

The love of farming was finally realized in the fall of 1965 with the purchase of their first farm north of Virden. With the ½ section they ran milk cows, pigs and grain farmed. In 1974, they lost their barn in a devastating fire forcing them to relocate to allow for shelter for the livestock. In the fall of ’74, they moved to their family farm where they increased the number of livestock. This in turn would change to raising purebred Charolais with the purchase of their first in the fall of 1978. They ran under the name Beaver Creek Charolais. They belonged to many producer groups such as Westman Charolais Charolais Banner • December 2019

breeders, CNR Bull sale (Chapman, Nykoliation & Reese), Char-Sational group and participated at Douglas Bull Test Station. Many summers were spent showing cattle across the prairie provinces. In 1989, Beaver Creek Charolais had their first female sale which ran for many years. In 2000, Beaver Creek was instrumental in starting the Cattleman’s Classic Bull Sale. Len and Marilyn decided to sell the cattle in the fall of 2011 with the equipment and land selling in 2014. In 2016 they retired to Virden, taking the cat with them – a piece of the farm life Leonard loved so much. 17

the steer shows. When that happened, all the steer jocks moved to the breed shows. We didn’t have overly fat heifers before then. Fat is flat, muscle is round. It is that simple. Flat has more eye appeal, round has more red meat.” Hicks has sold semen and embryos to 13 countries. The homozygous polled factor has helped, but it wouldn’t have been in demand without muscle. “I vaccinate my cows with killed vaccine and with modified live vaccine. I used killed vaccine because it protects the best. I use modified live for cattle I intend to sell because that is what most people use. If they take a female home that has been vaccinated with killed vaccine and booster her with modified live, she will abort. It is the IBR vaccine that is the biggest risk. There really is no BVD here to worry about.” “I don’t vaccinate my bull calves until I decide if they are going to the cull pen or the bull pen. If they are going to be culled, they get vaccinated and castrated. If they are going to the bull pen, they get a straight BVD vaccine.” Bryan sells his bulls mostly to repeat buyers. He hasn’t advertised locally for quite a few years. He could have sold five more bulls the last couple of years. He guarantees everything that goes out. “Once every three years, I replace a bull for various reasons.” If he increased his herd to 200 cows, he realizes he would probably have to start advertising. “I was president of the Ontario association in 1992 and 1993. In the mid 90s, Harry Airey and Dale Kelly approached me about being on the CCA Breed Improvement Committee. I chaired the committee for a while and was the president of the Canadian Charolais Association president from 2004 to 2007.” “The worst thing we ever did was get rid of the C-C program. It verified the data to be accurate and it kept everybody honest. A bull on C-C had data that could not be argued or manipulated. If you were also using the bull, your numbers had to be in line with the verified data. It could be just as effective today. It worked because we were testing bulls in the same environment, so the data was relevant. It cost money, but it was well worth it. It should be possible to do this today for far less money because we could use tracability.” “The person I admire most in the breed is Garner Deobald. He gave 18 months of his life to keeping the association functional after we were backed into a corner by a push to adopt the ABRI model. We were set-up so we had to be in a Breed Alliance, or coalition. Garner drove, called and managed for that time period to see us through it, as we had no general manager. There is nobody I know that has a greater continued on page 20

conviction or did more than he did in that 18 months. The Association would look entirely different if Garner had not made the effort.” Three of Bryan’s children, Ryan, Shannon and Sean, all participated in CCYA and 4-H. Aaron and Cailen only participated in 4-H. Now Bryan has four grandchildren in 4-H and two of them qualified for the Royal Beef Heifer Show. Ryan has three children: Hudson, Ethan and Addison. Shannon has four children: Sam, Liam, Olivia and Briar. Sean has a daughter, Quincy. “I believed then and still believe now, that Charolais is the number one contributor to the beef industry for

Polled was a necessity just as muscling is. It doesn’t matter if they are polled or horned, if they don’t have muscle, you are going to go broke raising Holstein like calves, unless the market gets strong or you are buying the calves cheap. Right now, there are so many Holsteins in the province of Ontario and because of sexed semen, half of them are going to be bred beef and the other half will be bred to top end dairy bulls. I encourage all the managers of herds I work with to determine the top half of their cow herd, so they can breed the top half to dairy bulls and the bottom half to beef bulls. They can only get $100 for a calf. It costs me $900 to keep a cow annually, so they are buying a calf for $800 cheaper than I can drop one on the ground. They don’t have to have the same feed efficiency or carcass quality as everyone else. The beef industry is going to have a challenge in the next little while from the dairy industry. They are breeding the dairy cows to Belgian Blue, Angus, Speckle Park and Limousin simply because they are trying to add enough muscle to the dairy animal to make the cross work.” In Bryan’s vet practise, he looks after 45 dairy herds. He has worked with them so long; they are virtually self-sufficient. He could probably start an internet practise as he gets a lot of texts and pictures throughout the day and can respond without visits. “I do work for some purebred beef operators, a half a dozen of them are local and the rest are at a distance. I will get a call or two each week from purebred breeders and I give them the advice they require and tell them to go to their local vet to pick up what they require. They always ask it they can buy it from me, and I refuse. I tell them to buy their product from the person they are going to call in the middle of the night. I could certainly sell it to them, but I won’t. I will give them the advice, I will go and preg check their cows, I will help them set up a Johnes program or a Leukosis program, I will do the testing and give advice. I won’t travel distances when there are calving problems, I am just too far, so they need to buy their product from their local veterinarian. He needs the money 20

to keep the lights on and pay the receptionist. I won’t travel farther than thirty kilometres for emergencies. If I can’t get there in twenty minutes, I am not doing emergency work, I am doing consulting work.” “The dairy herd health visits are on varying programs. Some are on once a month visits, twice a month visits, every other month visits, or as needed. The as needed may not see me for a few months, then I might see them a couple of times in two weeks. It just depends on what they

have happening.” “I have an ultrasound machine I haven’t turned on in four years. I can palpate cows for pregnancy at 28 days. Cows that are pregnant at 28 days will be pregnant at 40 days. Our industry will evolve to finding cows that are open, deciding why they are open and determining what it will take to get them pregnant. Some have bought their own ultrasound for eight to ten thousand dollars and can tell if their cows are in calf. What they can’t do is determine what is wrong with the open cows and they are the ones

that are costing them money. 90% of our fertility issues are nutrition. Many beef producers wonder why their first cycle of A.I. or natural breeding doesn’t stick. It has nothing to do with the A.I. or with the bull. It is because they breed them and take them out to a lush pasture, with lush grass which is mainly soluble protein. Once you get your soluble protein too high, the urea levels rise in the blood and leach all the progesterone out of the cow’s system, and she will abort. Therefore, it says right on a urea bag, do not feed to pregnant animals. Progesterone is

necessary to maintain a pregnancy. By the middle of June, the grass starts to toughen up and the soluble protein level drops. The progesterone in the cows rise and the females can maintain a pregnancy. Energy levels affect cows at three levels. The first priority for the cow is maintenance, the second is production and

The challenge is to determine which ones are which. For a long time, predominantly in the dairy industry, genetics got way ahead of nutrition. Now nutrition has caught back up with genetics. In dairy herds, every load of milk they ship is tested for butter fat, milk protein, other solids, somatic cell count and MUN, which measures urea levels. We monitor those numbers; we know what they need to be for the cow to breed and we can adjust the ration accordingly. I print their production sheets before I even go to check the cows. This is done on a herd basis. The guys that are using robots, get individual data on cows. They can really sort through their cows to know which ones are producing at superior levels. The key is data collection and information. Without it, you cannot make good business decisions.” “A lot of dairies are on a

If I don’t see them in heat, they see the vet.’ After being there six weeks, their vet came out complaining that they weren’t buying product and he wondered what was going on. Their conception rate had actually gone up and their product bill was drastically reduced.” In March, Bryan and Sandy were married. Sandy has taught riding lessons since she was sixteen. She has been training horses and putting on horse camps for kids all her life. She ran her own boarding/training facility in the days when times were more lucrative, and she had no trouble maintaining a decent living. She trained and showed horses as a fulltime job until she was about 30. “I ran a very exclusive stable with Gypsy Vanner horses for a very high-profile operation. I trained and showed the horses extensively to promote the

necessary. The shiftwork also played a major role in the decision. Through her many years of travel through her corporate jobs, the goal was always to come back to her farming roots. “I didn’t want to dress up anymore, my long-term goal was to live in jeans.” Now she travels with Bryan on the show road and works with him in the vet practice. She does calls with him when he needs her, but her main duty is to run the office. They breed and raise quarter horses. They have a nice horse trailer with living accommodations and enjoy traveling to camp and ride whenever possible. Because of the way Bryan’s vet practise is set up, he doesn’t see a need to retire. “I will always have the cows. Several times I have got down to 25 cows, but it never lasted long. I want to bring most of my grandchildren up with livestock as I don’t feel there is any other way to keep them in touch with the real world, and it is pretty tough to talk to a tomato.”

HERD HEALTH

Some Current Thoughts on Changes to Newborn Calf Procedures Roy Lewis DVM

Procedures to newborn calves have undergone several changes over the last few years. There are more changes coming I am sure in the not too distant future. These will all help the survivability of the calf. Preventing or significantly reducing neonatal diseases not only decreases mortality but the overall production in the herd improves. This article may give you further ideas on what your calves need or don’t need on entry into the world. They are easy to handle at this young an age and because of their size dosage is very much reduced when it comes to things like antibiotics or painkillers. When pairing up or moving the newborn and its mother this is commonly a great opportunity to get management procedures done. For most operations that involves calves newborn to three days of age. From times past the RFID tag and a dangle tag are given. Some reference can be given to the cow’s number on the calf’s tag to facilitate pairing up. Others tag the calf with the same number as the cow and give them their unique number when they enter the herd. With balanced nutrition programs Vitamin AD & Se Vit E are seldom given as injectables to calves anymore. Most nutritionists would agree which may save you a couple procedures. Although depending on the year feed quality and with drought conditions in some parts of the country that could change regionally. The retained placenta incidence is often a good telltale sign of nutrition status. If regular born single calves you are still having retained placentas get the nutrition checked. The more needles we give the more pain we also create and getting intramuscular shots into the thin muscle bellies of the calf does create trauma. Some selenium products are indicated subcutaneous however. 24

Intranasal vaccines have more taken the place of parenteral vaccines in very young calves. They are easy to give the calves painless and promote local protection in the airways against respiratory pathogens. Especially if you get cases of pneumonia in your new calves in the first few months vaccines at a very young age may eliminate some of these cases. There is “Once PMH IN” for the main bacterial cause of pneumonia and “Inforce” for the main viral causes of pneumonia. There are still a few straight IBR PI3 vaccines that are intranasal as well. Talk to your veterinarian if you have respiratory issues and want to ramp up your vaccination program. Fewer sick calves and less antibiotics used could be the end result. We all know a sick calf earlier in life is much lighter at weaning time. Polled bulls have all but eliminated the use of paste at birth to dehorn but if done that can be a real stress on the young calves. Although necessary one must always be cognizant with all these procedures we do recognize how stressed it may make the calf. Some producers have even gone to NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal AntiInflammatory Drugs) when the amount of painful procedures such as paste dehorning, castration to commercial calves and even the ear tagging creates more pain than they feel is acceptable. Pain products are available for injection, given orally or the newest a pour on formulation so lots of choice out there. Tagging in most peoples herds involves the two tags with the CCIA allowing age verification. Tag retention of the CCIA tags has gotten better. There is no better time than in the first couple days of life to tag the calves. There are good breakaway taggers now available so ears are not ripped when tagging. Place the tag between the ridges in the middle of the ear. Charolais Banner • December 2019

Some people still use navel preparations but the vast majority do not handle the navels. Practicing good hygiene in the calving area with good colostrum consumption goes a long ways to preventing navel infections. The exception is backwards calves or caesarian calves where the navels are broken off short. They may need treatment such as flushing and some antibiotics. A few producers that cycle calves through a warm barn are more prone to navel infections. Producers then use metaphylactic antibiotics at birth. In the problem herds this can cut down the infection rate. These antibiotics are all now prescription so will need to be purchased from your veterinarian after Dec 2018. That will be a good time to discuss whether you need antibiotics, or can hygiene be improved in the calving area. Calves may have been prescribed an oral treatment for coccidiosis or cryptosporidiosis. Again if your veterinarian recommends it and there has been a need it may be worthwhile. With young calves being subjected to many different procedures including ringing castration it pays to have a kit to organize everything to take with you. I have seen some that hang on the fence others that are tool kits. All keep you organized and procedures are not missed. Get into a routine. Remember to only rehydrate the amount of vaccine you will administer in the next hour. Have a close look at other things the calf may need attending to from contracted tendons to small hernias to frozen ears to navel issues. A little intervention early may avert a major problem down the road. Some of these recommendations involve prescription products so you must have a VCPR (veterinary client patient relationship) and he/she can help fine-tune your newborn protocol. This is something that should be reviewed yearly as things change. continued on page 26

INDUSTRY NEWS

Canadian Beef Breeds Council Report Michael Latimer, CBBC Executive Director

Congratulation to the exhibitors on a successful show season again this year. There were a lot of positive comments from our international visitors about the quality of cattle across all breeds. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of cattle breeders who persevered through a difficult year of unpredictable Canadian weather. Even as data and information increasingly drives our cattle selection, the importance of exhibiting your cattle will remain an important part of our industry for the foreseeable future. Livestock exhibitions are still where the business of the industry gets done. People want to see the cattle and they want to be able to interact with other cattlemen in person and there is no better place to do that then at a cattle show. It also helps bridge the urban and rural divide as tens of thousands of students and spectators visit agricultural fairs to experience where their food comes from. This will become increasingly important over the next few years as we face changing consumer preferences where they are

not as connected to agriculture as the generation before them. At Agribition, CBBC was invited to join an industry roundtable discussion with Canadian Minister of Agriculture Agri-Food, Marie-Claude Bibeau, as the representative organization for the Canadian purebred beef cattle and genetics sector. Prior to the meeting, the Minister had the opportunity to walk the barns and meet with cattle producers from across Canada and see first-hand the quality of our beef genetics. The Minister seemed very impressed by both the people and the cattle which made for a productive and engaging discussion. Key topics were on ensuring that the AgriMarketing program is fully funded so we can continue to promote Canadian genetics internationally and host international guests in Canada. We also want to ensure that reopening markets such as China for genetics is a top priority for the government. It was also described to the Minister that we have the most efficient and productive beef herd anywhere in the world, yet we know that we can do even better. We can accomplish it with support from government and

collaboration across the industry. The new Canada’s National Beef Strategy 2020-2024 was released in October. This is a collaborative effort from the national and provincial beef cattle organizations including the Canadian Beef Breeds Council. This strategy impacts producers and is the guiding document for the industry for the next five years. Of particular interest to seedstock producers are the sections on genetic improvement and on market access. The Canadian Beef Innovation Network is a collaborative effort driven by the breed associations, the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association and CBBC and is a key component of the National Beef Strategy. The goal is to redefine how genetic improvement is utilized and conducted across the production chain from seedstock producers and commercial cow/calf through to the packing sector and consumers. It is an ambitious initiative but necessary to ensure our cattle utilize new technology to meet expectations for the consumer of the future not the consumer of the past. More information is available at www.beefstrategy.com.

OBITUARY

Eric Trepanier 1974 –2019

Eric Trepanier, Fern Charolais, Fassett, Quebec, died Tuesday, November 5th in a farm accident after falling off a grain bin at the age of 45. He was the spouse of Patricia Dubé and the son of the late Fernand Brunet and Georgette Trépanier. A great visionary and good steward, Éric was at the helm of the municipality of Fassett as mayor since 28

November 5, 2017. A critical and committed man, he liked to get involved and take a stand on various subjects. He was happy to contribute to the well-being of his citizens and the advancement of his municipality. He had a great sense of collective fairness and no tolerance for mediocrity. From the beginning, agriculture and purebred cattle were his passions. He was considered by his peers as an encyclopedia of bovine genetics of the Charolais breed. He was a director of Charolais Banner • December 2019

the Quebec Charolais Association and a director of the Canadian Charolais Association. It is with courage and determination that he took over the family farm for more than 10 years. He was not afraid to make decisions and to complete several files at once. Definitely, he left his mark and will be missed by all. The funeral was held at the SainteAngelique church in Papineauville on Saturday, November 23rd.
