POINTS TO PONDER

From the Field Helge By

It is right after Agribition as I write this and what a great fall it has been so far. The averages of the early sales were higher and the crowds at the shows and sales have been great. Lots of enthusiasm and excitement have been experienced all fall, as well as many new faces and breeders have participated. By the time you read this, most of the female sales will be wrapped up and I am sure we will look back at what was a great fall. We were invited to the U.S. National show and meetings in Louisville, Kentucky, and will have full coverage of that in the February Banner. It was a great trip with some great information to share on what we and participants from other parts of the world learned. Speaking of the World, the interest in the 2024 World Congress here in Canada is strong. Please contact the breeders where we are stopping if you would like to display some of your program to producers from around the globe. The host farms would like to get an idea of numbers, etc. We anticipate breeders from 14 countries to be in attendance. The next CCA AGM, Foundation Breeders School and Fundraising Auction will be held in conjunction

ASSOCIATION NEWS

BLANCHETTE RANCHING LTD Edam, SK COBB CHAROLAIS RANCH Augusta, MT JUSTAMERE FARMS Lloydminster, SK 6

with the SCA AGM and Sask Royal Sale on June 6th and 7th in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Mark your calendars now as you will not want to miss this fun and educational couple of days. The spring bull sales are looking very positive with the calf market this fall being at record levels. There were also many bulls being sold out of commercial herds earlier than normal and rather than buy feed for them, they will just replace them this spring. Once again this fall, there have been many commercial cows going to market, so we all need to be aggressive in our marketing to pick up more market share and replace the customers who have quit. Some of this is due to drought and some is age. It is unfortunate because with the North American cow numbers down, the cattle market looks poised to be very good for several years. Also in this issue, you will see the 2024 Charolais Calendar. We sponsor this great fundraiser for the Canadian Charolais Youth Association and we thank everyone who participated in it and all the junior members who helped to sell it. I have talked about this before, but one topic to be reminded of is the case of Barn Blindness. The symptom shows when producers are so close to their operation that it is hard for them to step back and see what they

need to improve the quality of their program. This happens at all levels and as a breeder, you can ask some of your good customers, or fellow breeders, where they would like to see your product improve. You can return the favour by looking hard at your customers’ herds. An outside opinion is always a good thing and if it is objective, it can be very constructive and profitable. Over the years, I have seen breeders keep buying some of the same problems into their herds, rather than giving something else up to correct a situation in their cow base. Breeding cattle is a series of compromises and you must always strive to not compromise the same things repeatedly. 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 and videos for the promotion of them to maximize your returns. Robbie Chomik and I are now preparing our spring picture and video schedules, so if you would like some help with those and promoting your program in the spring Connections, 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

DES POINTS À RÉFLÉCHIR

Dans nos champs Helge By

C’est juste après l’Agribition alors que j’écris ceci et quelle belle automne ce fut jusqu’à présent. Les moyennes des premières ventes étaient plus élevées et la participations aux expositions et aux ventes a bien été. Beaucoup d’enthousiasme et d’excitation ont été ressentis tout au long de l’automne, et de nombreux nouveaux visages et éleveurs y ont participé. Au moment où vous lirez ceci, la plupart des ventes de femelles seront terminées et je suis sûr que nous reviendrons sur ce qui a été un bel automne. Nous avons été invités à l’exposition et aux réunions nationales des ÉtatsUnis qui se sont déroulés à Louisville, dans le Kentucky, et nous en aurons une couverture complète dans la publication du mois de février. Ce fut un voyage formidable avec d’excellentes informations à partager sur ce que nous et les participants d’autres régions du monde avons appris. En parlant du monde, l’intérêt pour le congrès mondial Charolais de 2024 qui aura lieu ici au Canada est fort. Veuillez contacter les éleveurs où nous nous arrêterons si vous souhaitez présenter une partie de votre programme aux producteurs du monde entier. Les fermes d’accueil aimeraient avoir une idée du nombre de participants, etc. Nous prévoyons la présence d’éleveurs de 14 pays. La prochaine AAG de l’ACC, la fondation et l’école des éleveurs et la vente aux enchères pour la collecte

de fonds auront lieu conjointement avec l’AAG de l’ACS et la vente Sask Royal le 6 et 7 juin à Moose Jaw, en Saskatchewan. Marquez vos calendriers dès maintenant car vous ne voudrez pas manquer ces quelques jours amusants et éducatifs. Les ventes de taureaux du printemps s’annoncent très positives, le marché des veaux ayant atteint des niveaux records cet automne. De nombreux taureaux ont également été vendus plus tôt que d’habitude dans les troupeaux commerciaux et, plutôt que les nourrir tout l’hiver, ils les remplaceront ce printemps. Encore une fois cet automne, de nombreuses vaches commerciales ont été mises sur le marché. Nous devons donc tous être agressifs dans notre marketing afin de conquérir davantage de parts de marché et de remplacer les clients qui ont abandonné. Cela est dû en partie à la sécheresse et en partie à l’âge. C’est dommage, car avec la baisse du nombre de vaches en Amérique du Nord, le marché du boeuf semble prêt pour de très bonnes années. Également dans ce numéro, vous verrez le calendrier Charolais 2024. Nous commanditons cette belle collecte de fonds pour l’Association canadienne des jeunes Charolais et nous remercions tous ceux qui y ont participé ainsi que tous les membres juniors qui ont contribué à sa vente. J’en ai déjà parlé, mais un sujet à retenir est le cas de la cécité des granges. Le symptôme se manifeste lorsque les producteurs sont si proches de leur exploitation qu’il leur est difficile de prendre du recul et de voir

ce dont ils ont besoin pour améliorer la qualité de leur programme. Cela se produit à tous les niveaux et en tant qu’éleveur, vous pouvez demander à certains de vos bons clients, ou à d’autres éleveurs, où une amélioration serait de mise. Vous pouvez retourner cette faveur en examinant attentivement les troupeaux de vos clients. Un avis extérieur est toujours une bonne chose et s’il est objectif, il peut être très constructif et profitable. Au fil des années, j’ai vu des éleveurs continuer à intégrer certains des mêmes problèmes dans leurs troupeaux, plutôt que d’abandonner quelque chose d’autre pour corriger la situation de leur cheptel de vaches. L’élevage de bovins est une série de compromis et vous devez toujours vous efforcer de ne pas compromettre les mêmes choses à plusieurs reprises. Nous sommes prêts pour des grandes ventes de taureaux du printemps mais vous devez toujours vous efforcer de rester en contact avec vos anciens clients et d’obtenir les meilleures photos et vidéos pour leur promotion afin de maximiser vos revenus. Robbie Chomik et moi préparons actuellement nos horaires de photos et de vidéos du printemps, donc si vous souhaitez de l’aide pour ceux-ci et pour promouvoir votre programme dans la revue Charolais Connections du printemps, n’hésitez pas à nous écrire. Je souhaite à chacun d’entre vous un très joyeux Noël et une nouvelle année Charolais prospère. À la prochaine fois, Helge

The most cost effective way to reach the past six years of bull buyers is the Charolais Connection

The CCA board held their fall meetings in mid October at the office in Calgary. The agenda was full of very important items. One of the items was the fee structures. The fees have not been increased for over 10 years, and as most of you know, expenses have had a significant increase. The board did not take this decision lightly and after looking at all the options, the decision was made to increase the Whole Herd fee from $26 per cow to $28 per cow. The board also made the decision to start to use the interest on the investment portfolio to help offset the rise in expenses. Another agenda item was one that has been talked about for many years and that is the debate on the CCA office building, whether to sell it or keep it. Currently, the CCA only utilizes 2 offices, and the rest are rented. The rent does help with a portion of the expenses, but the maintenance of the aging building continues to rise. We have kept up with the maintenance, so the building is in good shape and has significant value. In the next few months, I will be looking into our options for the CCA office. The board along with it’s committees continue to move this breed forward and are investigating some projects both within our breed and some that will help advance Charolais in the beef industry. The 2023 National show and sale was held in Brandon, MB. October 26 to 28th. There were 67 entries in the show and the sale had 16 ¾ lots to average $10,860. Cattle were sold right across the country. I also attended the Lloydminster Stockade Roundup. This year there were 30 entries in the show. The American International

DIRECTORS:

Charolais Association along with the Kentucky Department of Agriculture invited me to their fall meetings and US National Show in Louisville, Kentucky. There were seven of us onthe tour from 5 countries. We were fortunate to tour some breeders as well as a research farm and see some beautiful countryside. After the Tour I attended the AICA Breed Improvement committee meeting, the Advertising and Marketing meeting, the Commercial committee meeting, as well as their full AICA Board meeting. I was asked to participate in several discussions and our two organizations will continue to work together to enhance the trade of genetics. I would like to thank the AICA board and staff, as well as the Kentucky Department of Agriculture for the wonderful hospitality. After a quick stop at home, I was off to Agribition in Regina. The first few days at Agribition are filled with industry meetings, these meetings are always educational. The Charolais breed is very important to the beef industry, and I am proud I get to represent it. One of the highlight meetings was a round table discussion with Canadian beef industry leaders and a delegation of breeders from Mexico on the challenge of exporting and importing both live and frozen genetics. We hope that the organizations that represent us will champion these concerns with their respective government agencies. There were 121 entries in the Agribition show, with entries from right across Canada. The sale featured 14 ½ lots to average $10,555. Lots were sold across North America. The Charolais breed was well represented in the CN Supreme show as well. I was not able to attend the Toronto Royal this year but, congratulations to ..continued on page 28

Le conseil d’administration de l’ACC a tenu ses réunions d’automne à la mi-octobre au bureau de Calgary. L’ordre du jour était rempli de sujets très importants. L’un de ces éléments était la structure des frais aux membres. Les frais n’ont pas augmenté depuis plus de dix ans et, comme la plupart d’entre vous le savent, les dépenses ont augmenté considérablement. Le conseil d’administration n’a pas pris cette discussion à la légère et après avoir examiné toutes les options, la décision a été prise d’augmenter les frais d’enrôlement de 26 $ à 28 $ par vache. Le conseil d’administration a également pris la décision de commencer à utiliser les intérêts sur notre portefeuille de placements pour aider à compenser l’augmentation des dépenses. Un autre point à l’ordre du jour fut celui dont on parle depuis de nombreuses années, soit le débat concernant l’immeuble du bureau possédé par l’ACC à Calgary, à l’effet qu’on doive le vendre ou non. Actuellement, l’ACC n’utilise que deux bureaux, et les autres espaces sont louées. Le montant du loyer reçu aide à couvrir une partie des dépenses, mais les frais d’entretien d’un immeuble vieillissant continuent d’augmenter. Nous avons effectué un bon suivi au niveau de l’entretien, de telle sorte que le bâtiment est en bon état et a une valeur significative. Au cours des prochains mois, j’examinerai nos options par rapport au bureau de l’ACC. Le conseil d’administration ainsi que ses comités continuent de faire avancer notre race et ils étudient certains projets à l’intérieur de notre race et certains autres qui aideront à faire progresser la race Charolais au

ADMINISTRATION:

sein de l’industrie bovine. Le concours national et la vente nationale 2023 ont eu lieu à Brandon, au Manitoba, du 26 au 28 octobre dernier. Un total de soixante-sept sujets a compétitionné dans le jugement et on a vendu 16 ¾ lots pour un prix moyen de 10 860 $. Les animaux ont été vendus partout au pays. J’ai aussi assisté au “Stockade Roundup” de Lloydminster. Cette année, il y avait trente sujets présentés dans le jugement. L’association “American International Charolais” et le ministère de l’Agriculture du Kentucky m’ont invité à leurs réunions d’automne et à l’exposition nationale américaine à Louisville, dans le Kentucky. Nous étions sept représentants de cinq pays à participer à ces activités. Nous avons eu la chance de visiter quelques éleveurs ainsi qu’une station de recherche et de voir de beaux paysages. Après les visites, j’ai assisté à la réunion du comité d’amélioration de la race de l’AICA, à la réunion sur la publicité et le marketing, à la réunion du comité commercial ainsi qu’à la réunion complète du conseil d’administration de l’AICA. On m’a demandé de participer à plusieurs discussions et nos deux organisations continueront de travailler ensemble pour améliorer le commerce de la génétique. Je tiens à remercier le conseil d’administration et le personnel de l’AICA ainsi que le ministère de l’Agriculture du Kentucky pour leur hospitalité. Après un bref arrêt à la maison, je suis parti à l’Agribition de Régina. Les premiers jours à l’Agribition sont remplis de réunions de l’industrie, et ces réunions sont toujours éducatives. La race Charolais est très importante pour l’industrie bovine, et je suis fier de la représenter. L’une des réunions les plus importantes a été une table ..continued on page 14

Canadian Cattle Association President’s Report Nathan Phinney

With the end of 2023 in sight, it’s a good time to look back on the challenges, opportunities, and accomplishments of the past year. The perseverance of Canadian cattle producers continued to be put to the test with another year of adverse weather conditions — from continued drought conditions in the west, to excess rain in the east, to wildfires in many provinces. It’s easy to focus on the challenges, but there were many positive outcomes and momentum gained this year that deserve mentioning. The uncertainty created by adverse weather was top of mind this year. The Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) monitored the situation closely along with our provincial member associations to better understand the impacts on cattle producers and the support needed. The rollout of the AgriRecovery program targeting cattle producers in British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, by both federal and provincial governments, was long overdue, but welcome news. It will provide much needed support for winter feeding costs, transportation costs relating to moving livestock to feed and water, and re-establishing forage crops damaged by wildfires. CCA, working in stride with our provincial associations, pushed hard for the timely completion of the AgriRecovery assessments and rollout of support. Advocacy work is ongoing to strengthen business risk management (BRM) programming including expanding Livestock Price Insurance to the Maritimes and improving forage insurance offerings across Canada. CCA chairs an Industry Government Forage Insurance Task Team, where work with governments

over the years has improved forage insurance. These programs are timelier and more dependable compared to AgriRecovery. Adverse weather events have demonstrated the need for more effective tools for producers managing weather-related risks. A key recommendation in our 2024 pre-budget submission is amending the Livestock Tax Deferral provision under the Income Tax Act to give producers the ability to self-elect rather than rely on a geographic determination, as well as expanding it to include all classes of cattle. The trade file has kept us busy with issues that can threaten our ability to export Canadian beef. With exports bringing significant added value to cattle producers, we needed to up our engagement with Parliamentarians on key issues including Bill C-282: An Act to amend the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Act (supply management), trade with the United Kingdom (UK), and Product of the USA. Earlier this year, Bill C-282 gained momentum and received all party support. This Bill, which takes supply-managed sectors off the table during trade negotiations, could severely damage our trade relationships and highly constrain Canada’s ability to launch, negotiate and renegotiate the best deals. The Bill is now in the Senate, and our advocacy efforts have ramped up, urging Senators to vote against this Bill. Significant time was dedicated to defending the interests of Canadian beef producers in trade negotiations – particularly when it comes to the UK accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for TransPacific Partnership (CPTPP). It is important that the staggering trade imbalance between Canada

and the UK, resulting from nontariff trade barriers, is addressed and resolved during bilateral negotiations. Last year, we didn’t export any beef to the UK while Canada imported $C33 million in beef from the UK. Through the “Say No to a Bad Deal” campaign, we are urging the Government of Canada to push for the UK to remove its trade barriers before ratifying the CPTPP accession. We are monitoring the progress of the proposed amendment to the voluntary “Product of the USA” label. We worked closely with the Government of Canada and industry stakeholders to ensure our consultation submissions were complementary. Our concern remains that the proposed rule states that any beef product labelled as “Product of the USA” must be derived from cattle that are born, raised, slaughtered, and processed in the United States (U.S.). If adopted, exports of Canadian beef and live cattle into the U.S. could be significantly impacted and the integrated nature of our North American supply chain would be threatened. It has not been all negative news on trade. This year saw Japan and Taiwan lift remaining BSE-era restrictions following Canada’s attainment of BSEnegligible risk status by the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) in 2021. These decisions may signal other countries in the IndoPacific region to follow suit. On the animal health and care front, we were pleased to see Federal Budget Day 2023 bring good news for our industry with an investment of $57.5 million over five years to establish a Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) vaccine bank and develop emergency response plans. We advocated for this tirelessly over the last few years and ..continued on page 32

CANADIAN CATTLE ASSOCIATION, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 31 it was an urgent advocacy priority in 2022. The establishment of this vaccine bank is critical with the ongoing threat of FMD remaining high. It provides our industry with an important tool to regain export markets if FMD finds its way here. We are actively working with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency on this important piece of the wideranging animal health file. We are building momentum in sharing the environmental benefits of

cattle production in Canada– whether it’s CCA or our young leaders carrying this important message to policymakers here at home or on the international stage. We have a lot to be proud of when it comes to being stewards of our land and caring for our animals. It is critical that we participate in discussions about climate change and livestock systems to showcase our leadership in sustainable beef production and celebrate the innovative practices undertaken by Canadian cattle

producers through the Environmental Stewardship Award (TESA). Voices pushing to take beef off the table and cattle off the land are very loud and active at these international meetings. Protectionist countries also have a big presence. If we are not there, vocal and determined, there will be negative impacts felt on our own operations. On behalf of CCA’s board and staff, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Manitoba Charolais Association AGM

The 56th MCA Annual General Meeting was held October 5, 2023, in Brandon, Manitoba. With 20 in attendance, the meeting was casual with good discussion. The financial report for the year ending December 31, 2022, showed expenses over revenue of $14,000 with the CCA AGM and AG-EX being two of the bigger shortfalls. At the time of this meeting there is still over $35,000 in the bank. Discussion was held on the upcoming National show and Player’s Club with good interest. There were also reports from the website, social media, scholarship and bulletin committees. In 2023, the MCA gave embroidered director chairs to all 4-H members showing Charolais influenced animals. This was very well received and was the envy of the youth not showing Charolais. The Executive stayed the same with Michael Hunter, Roblin, as president; Owen Sellman, McCreary, 1st VicePresident; Scott Baron, Carberry, 2nd Vice-President and Rae TrimbleOlson, Portage la Prairie, SecretartyTreasurer. Election of Directors saw Bert McDonald retiring with Tyler Stewart, Foxwarren; Michael Hunter,

Roblin and Jared Preston, Ste. Rose, returning for another three-year term and Trent Hatch, Oak Lake, returning to the board for another three-year term after taking a few year’s break. Shawn Airey, Rivers, as President of the Canadian Charolais Association, gave an update from the CCA board and office. The MCA Ambassador of the Year was voted on and won by Ron and Gail McDonald of R & G McDonald Livestock, Sidney, and the Commercial Producer of the year was won by the Hanslip family, Triple Oak Farms, Eriksdale.

HERD HEALTH

The Proverbial Retest of the Semen Evaluation Roy Lewis DVM

Anyone in the cattle industry that has had to have a bull retested may want to read through this. I know this is a dicey situation, especially for purebred owners who pay to have a bull redone that is questionable. It is not fun for veterinarians either and we all wish bulls would pass outright or fail terribly, whereby culling was the only option. The bulls that have decision deferred are more work to do a second time and we often collect them twice and some still can remain decision deferred. In this article, I will try to give some concrete management things we can all do that will hopefully cut down the bulls to redo. This will be a win-win situation. We can never get rid of all of them but a reduction would be good and some can get culled ahead of time avoiding any need to semen evaluate them in the first place. I would say with most yearling bulls, the redo rate will be upwards of 20 percent and with mature herd sires 10 percent, or at least that has been my experience over the years. A few things purebred breeders can do ahead of time to reduce this is potentially measure and cull the obvious small, below minimum scrotal size. The discussion can be made what is the true cutoff for your herd/breed of cattle and it may well be a cm above minimum, that is up to you. I have said over the years that the older the yearling is when semen tested the better.

15 plus months test better than 14 months, 14 months test better than 13, and so on. The minimum I do is one year but the younger you do them the more trouble you are going to have with redo’s and that is a guarantee. Measure your own bulls early and cull out the really small, only one testicle down, or any other conformation, growth or behavior problem. The sooner we get that done, the sooner we have the potential to castrate them with an acceptable method, potentially implant them and have them enter the food chain. Condition should be right around 3-3.5 out of 5. Fatter is definitely not better and I have struggled at times with show bulls that are dead quiet, but they seem to mature later or simply don’t get active enough early to start producing good quality semen. The issue in Western Canada is that bull sales are getting earlier and earlier, yet calving in many cases is getting later, so bulls are very young, some too young when we test. In these situations, it may be best to measure and palpate the bulls’ testicles and palpate the internal reproductive organs only. They are then sold subject to passing a semen test later in the spring when they are older and ready to breed. By doing this alone, the redo rate will improve greatly, but you are changing when you actually semen test. There is no doubt young bulls get more active towards spring and if it is possible to have cycling females close by, they are stimulated and one gets fresh sperm produced. This is the sample one may get during breeding season.

This is another way to help improve the sperm morphology. Things like detached heads (dead sperm) bent tails and often-proximal droplets are improved with a bit of usage. With the retests, one must remember that sperm is produced over about a sixty-day period so retesting at a week to two after the initial test is really not enough time, but again veterinarians may be forced into this because of an early sale. In my eyes, it is better to have a conditional sale on a deferred bull and wait the one to two months before retesting. Also inclement weather, such as a blizzard, may yield poor sperm for a while. I am more worried about a cold snap that happened a couple weeks ago, or a sick bull, or some other stressful event compared to one happening, the day you are semen testing. There is often a reason why bulls need a retest and one can often predict this. Bulls that have been sick, been injured or beat up in a fight, severely lame, and those at the bottom of the pecking order are all candidates. Veterinarians too aggressive with the ejaculator, or stepping up the stimulation too quickly can make bulls refractory to further testing. If you do need to retest, try to leave as much time between the two tests as you can, a month to two months is preferable. One needs to sell this concept to the buying public so when a deferred bull is sold at a sale one can understand the concept and the original owner will not officially sell him until he passes outright. That is the common ground we all must operate under.

“We got into Charolais around 1987, when we were looking for 4-H Heifers to show. Someone suggested we show purebred heifers, so we purchased two from Wayne and Rosetta Lang and two from Byron Ledingham. We showed them and everything just sort of took off from there. Probably lots of people have the same story, they start with a 4-H heifer and end up with a cowherd.

Heifer judging at Beck Farms for the 2018 Breeders’ School

need to actually provide services to help people. They operate separately, but they are always in contact to help each other by sharing ideas to approach needs. Jorja has been in 4-H since she was six. She started with a steer and won Weyburn Regional in her first year, competing with 154 steers in the show. This year she showed a pair and won Weyburn Regional. “I think it will be my last year, as I am in university and I don’t think Dad wants to do the work for me,” Jorja laughs. “I have attended seven CCYA events. My first was in Saskatoon in 2011 when I wasn’t technically old enough to participate, but I was hanging around all the events. This year she is on the planning committee for the CCYA Conference & Show for 2024 in Swift Current. Jorja, Mason, and Cynthia are on the committee for the education component of the event. She is also on the clothing and banquet committees. She was also involved in the planning of the last CCYA conference in Weyburn.

Jorja is studying her first year of Animal Science at the University of Saskatchewan. Her current plans are to get a Masters degree and go into genetic research, but she is quick to admit that things can change drastically along the way. She was very fortunate to earn many scholarships to help with her first year. She is currently on the judging team and plays dodgeball, which can get pretty intense. “I wanted to keep my extra-curricular activities down this first year as I adjust to university class demands.” She has a heavy load this first semester with five classes and four labs. “I started working for High Bluff on the show road in 2018, but I think every kids’ dream is to take their own cattle to Agribition. When I was going into grade eleven, I decided to take this cow out of pasture and get her ready to show. I had shown her successfully as a calf in 4-H, CCYA and Young Ranchman’s. Then covid hit and she wasn’t shown again until she had a calf at side. Beck’s Tequila 69F was exhibited in the Canadian Western

Jorja Beck beat 158 steers at the Weburn 4-H Regional Show. This white steer weighed 1,380 lb and sold for $5.50/lb to Great Plains Ford, Weyburn.

Mason exhibited female champion at the Weyburn 4-H Show

Beck’s Tequila 69F was exhibited in the Canadian Western Agribition Supreme Show

Beck’s Thread 2176J was an Agribition Supreme Top 10 Finalist

Agribition Supreme Show. The following year I was in the Supreme again with her calf, Beck’s Thread 2176J, who was a Top 10 Finalist. This year, Beck’s Dancer 60J, with her calf at side, qualified for the CWA Supreme by winning the National Show at Manitoba Ag-Ex.” Mason was in 4-H for many years and served on the local club executive for a number of years as treasurer and vice president. In University, he has served on the Agriculture Students’ Association every year. In first year, he was elected as the 1st Year Degree Rep during covid and they hosted a drive-in movie fundraiser for STARS that raised around $16,000. As 2nd Year Degree Rep, he had a fairly large role in the Bed Push for Telemiracle raising over $88,000. (Telemiracle is a Kinsmen run fundraiser supporting special health service needs in the province of Saskatchewan.) Wade, who is also a U of S Ag Grad, participated in the bed push again for a father-son leg of the event. “In 3rd Year, I started a new Agros party called

Unhinged. This year I am the External Social Director and handle all corporate relations with our sponsors Labatts, the Ramada and the Longbranch. I also serve on various committees for events within the college like Ag Bag Drag.” Wade and Cynthia have supported 4-H for many years. They are both 2nd Generation 4-Hers and their kids are 3rd. Wade was a beef leader before they were married and they became beef leaders together until their kids were old enough to participate. Then they stepped back to take a supportive role as parents. Wade and Cynthia met at Regina Bull Sale. Cynthia was raised in the Hereford business and their kids are 2nd generation Hereford Bonanza participants. Wade just missed the CCYA events as they were so new in the business when the events started in Alberta. His sister Jill attended one in Saskatoon. Wade coached hockey for many years while Mason was playing. He also served as President of the Minor Hockey Board. He says he could write a book. “I always say in

hockey and in cattle, if the parents would get out of the way and quit trying to live through their kids, things would go a lot better. I think one of the best things I did was to have a booth at Agribition without cattle. It forced the kids to go work for someone else. They had really great experiences and learned so much.” Cynthia served on the local church board and worked off the farm. Together they served on the CCA AGM host committee in 2010, when the 50th Anniversary of the Canadian Charolais Association was celebrated in Moose Jaw. Beck Farms also hosted a barbecue and a cattle tour as part of the itinerary.

Beck Farms hosted the 2015 World Technical Conference for a visit on their farm where Wade’s parents, Donna and Gary, served homemade saskatoon pie and ice cream for everyone. One of the Charolais Banner Breeder Schools included a day at their farm to evaluate live cattle. They are always willing to lend a hand and help. The family’s dedication to the community and agriculture is exemplary. Cynthia wraps it all up by saying, “Agriculture is a community of its own and the cattle business even more so. Once it is in your blood, it just doesn’t leave.”
