POINTS TO PONDER

From the Field Helge By

The 2021 Fall Shows are over, and I believe they were a resounding success.

Everyone was very happy to get out to show, after most shows were cancelled last year due to Covid. The atmosphere in the barns was very positive and upbeat, with breeders being able to visit with many of their customers and friends they haven’t seen in a while. The numbers were down a bit and the crowd traffic a little lower, but those that came to town, came to do some business.

The early sales were good, and with some later summer rains in the west and an open fall into November, most people I have talked to in Western Canada seem to have enough feed gathered. There was some extra culling in many herds, but it sure didn’t end as bad as expected in July. All the prairie

provinces are surely looking for lots of snow this winter to get some runoff to fill dugouts and potholes. There were many that had to haul water to pastures this summer and fall and that is a big waste of time and money that hopefully won’t be needed in 2022.

The spring bull sales are looking very positive, with the calf market this fall being solid despite the higher cost of gain on them. There were also many bulls sold from commercial herds earlier than normal, rather than buy feed for them, they will just replace them next spring.

The optimistic feeders look like they knew what was coming, as the fed cattle and future markets have been moving up to highs not seen for many years, at the end of November. The 2021 North American beef market gave us many records, including record beef production, record beef demand, record beef exports, record wholesale beef prices, record packer profits, and finally, the feedlots gaining the upper

hand and pushing their selling price higher.

It has been said the U.S. and Canada will be contending with another year-over-year decline in the calf crop numbers. The most profitable years for the cow-calf producer will be 2022 through 2025, exactly 10 years after the previous rally to historical highs. This all points to some good times ahead for the cow-calf and seedstock producers.

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.

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

I am writing this article after returning from a very successful National show and sale at Agribition, and I would like to congratulate the Saskatchewan Association for hosting this fantastic event. Congratulations also goes out to Canadian Western Agribition, on celebrating their 50th Anniversary show.

I have been able to attend several events across the country this fall. In October, I attended sales in Ontario and was also able to spend a few days traveling with John Mielhausen.

John and I visited a few commercial producers and feed barns, and attended a sale at Keady Livestock Market.

The board of directors met in Calgary for their annual fall meetings October 22 to 24. These meetings continue to be very productive, and some of the highlights include approving the 2022 budget, along with discussion on new programs to implement in 2022. If you are looking for more information on these meetings, or to see what is happening with the CCA, please reach out to the director in your area, a CCA director, or the staff at the office. We always welcome your input and feedback.

I attended the Ag-Ex show, in Brandon, Manitoba, at the end of October. Although this was a small show, the quality of livestock was exceptional, and a great number of breeders came in to watch and support the breeders that attended. To all the exhibitors, committees, and breeders that have made these events happen this year – thank you.

Doug Blair and I were invited to attend the American International Charolais Association fall board meetings, in Louisville, earlier this month. We attended the Breed Improvement meeting, where we gave a proposal on the Joint Evaluation.

The meeting consisted of positive discussion where significant progress was made to move forward with the Joint Evaluation. Doug and I also attended the induction of Neil Orth into the Saddle and Sirloin Club. The Saddle and Sirloin Club is widely considered to be the highest honor in the livestock industry. Congratulations to Neil on this well-deserved honor and we wish you all the best in your retirement from the AICA. The GPA program is still being conducted; this program enables all members to get free 100K genomic tests on 10% of the females they enrolled in 2020. Genomic testing is a great way to improve the accuracy of EPDs. Please contact the office for more details and to get your DNA kits. This program will run until the end of 2021. To receive genomic or DNA results for bull sale catalogs, please submit your samples as soon as possible. The board of directors along with the Breed Improvement committee made the decision to take the performance page live starting July 1st. This means when a search is conducted through our website on an animal, all their performance data is available for viewing. This includes all data that has been collected and submitted to the CCA registry system.

This is a great tool that provides valuable information when searching out new genetics for your operation.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the CCA office.

Mise à jour d’automne de l’ACC Craig Scott, Directeur Général de l’ACC

J’écris cet article après mon retour de l’Agribition, alors qu’on a eu une belle réussite avec notre Jugement National et notre Vente Nationale. J’aimerais féliciter l’Association Charolais de la Saskatchewan pour avoir organisé ce fantastique évènement. Mes félicitations vont également envers la “Canadian Western Agribition”, qui vient de célébrer son 50e anniversaire.

Cet automne, j’ai été capable de participer à plusieurs évènements un peu partout au pays. En octobre, j’ai assisté à des ventes en Ontario et j’ai pu également voyager quelques jours avec John Mielhausen.

Nous avons ainsi visité quelques producteurs commerciaux et des parcs d’engraissement, de même que nous avons assisté à une vente de veaux à l’encan de Keady, ON. Du 22 au 24 octobre, les membres du conseil d’administration de l’Association se sont réunis à Calgary pour leurs rencontres d’automne.

Ces réunions sont toujours très productives, alors qu’on a discuté de sujets tels que l’approbation du budget, ainsi que les programmes à mettre en place en 2022. N’hésitez pas à contacter le directeur de votre région ou un autre administrateur ou encore un employé au bureau, si vous désirez obtenir davantage d’informations concernant ces réunions. Nous apprécions toujours recevoir vos commentaires et vos idées. À la fin d’octobre, je suis également allé à l’exposition AgEx à Brandon, au Manitoba. Malgré qu’il y ait eu moins d’animaux qu’à l’habitude, la qualité des animaux était exceptionnelle, et un grand nombre d’éleveurs sont venus y assister et encourager les exposants. Merci à tous les exposants, les membres des comités et les éleveurs qui ont contribué au succès Charolais Banner • December 2021

de ces évènements cette année.

Au début de novembre, moi et Doug Blair avons été invités à participer aux réunions de l’automne du conseil d’administration de l’Association Américaine Internationale Charolais (AICA), à Louisville. Nous avons assisté à la réunion du comité d’amélioration de la race, où nous avons d’ailleurs présenté une proposition d’évaluation conjointe.

Les discussions ont été positives lors de cette rencontre et nous avons fait du progrès en ce qui concerne une évaluation génétique conjointe. Moi et Doug avons également assisté à l’intronisation de Neil Orth au Club “Saddle and Sirloin”. Ce club est considéré par plusieurs comme étant le plus grand honneur qu’on peut recevoir dans le monde du bœuf.

Félicitations à Neil pour cet honneur bien mérité, et nous lui souhaitons tout le succès après sa retraite de l’AICA. Le programme GPA (“Genomic Producer Advancement”) est toujours offert; avec ce programme, tous les membres peuvent faire analyser sans frais la génomique chez 10 % de leurs femelles enrôlées pour l’année 2020.

L’analyse génomique est une excellente manière d’améliorer la précision des ÉPD. Veuillez communiquer avec le personnel du bureau afin d’obtenir plus d’informations et pour commander votre trousse d’analyse de l’ADN. Ce programme demeurera en vigueur jusqu’à la fin de 2021. De plus, si vous voulez recevoir les résultats des analyses génomiques pour inclure les informations dans vos catalogues de vente, ne tardez pas avant de soumettre vos échantillons. Le conseil d’administration, en collaboration avec le comité d’amélioration de la race, a pris la décision de rendre accessible en ligne depuis le 1er juillet dernier sur notre site internet toutes les données de performance d’un animal. ..continued on page 11

DES POINTS À RÉFLÉCHIR

Dans nos champs

Helge By

Les expositions d’automne 2021 sont terminées et je pense qu’elles ont été un franc succès. Tout le monde était très heureux de sortir pour présenter leur têtes après l’annulation de la plupart des expositions de l’année dernière en raison de la Covid.

L’atmosphère dans les granges était très positive et optimiste, les éleveurs pouvant rendre visite à beaucoup de leurs clients et amis qu’ils n’avaient pas vus depuis longtemps. Le nombre d’exposants étaient un peu en baisse et la foule un peu plus tranquille, mais ceux qui venaient en ville, y venaient pour faire des affaires.

Les premières ventes ont été bonnes, et avec de la pluie estivale plus tardive dans l’ouest et un automne doux jusqu’en novembre, la plupart des gens dont j’ai discuté dans l’ouest du Canada semblent avoir suffisamment de fourrage en provision pour l’hiver.

Il y a eu des abattages supplémentaires dans de nombreux troupeaux, mais cela ne s’est certainement pas aussi mal terminé que prévu plus tôt en juillet. Toutes les provinces des

prairies espèrent sûrement beaucoup de neige cet hiver pour obtenir un peu de ruissellement pour remplir les mares-réservoirs et les nids-de-poule.

Beaucoup ont dû transporter de l’eau dans les pâturages cet été jusqu’à l’automne et c’est une grosse perte de temps et d’argent qui, espérons-le, ne sera pas nécessaire en 2022.

Les ventes de taureaux du printemps s’annoncent très positives, le marché des veaux cet automne étant solide malgré le coût plus élevé du gain sur ces derniers. Il y eu aussi beaucoup de taureaux vendus dans des troupeaux commerciaux plus tôt qu’à la normale.

Plutôt d’acheter du fourrage pour eux, ils les remplaceront simplement au printemps prochain.

Les parcs d’engraissements optimistes semblent savoir ce qui s’en vient alors que les bovins engraissés et les futur marchés ont atteint des sommets jamais vus depuis de nombreuses années à la fin novembre.

Le marché du bœuf en Amérique du Nord en 2021 nous a donné de nombreux records, notamment une production de bœuf record, une demande de bœuf record, des exportations de bœuf record, des prix de gros records du bœuf, des bénéfices

records pour les emballeurs et enfin, les parcs d’engraissement prenant le dessus et poussant leur prix de vente plus haut.

Il a été dit que les États-Unis et le Canada seront confrontés à une autre baisse d’une année à l’autre du nombre de veaux sur le marché. Les années les plus rentables pour le producteur vache-veau seront de 2022 à 2025, exactement 10 ans après le précédent rallye à des sommets historiques. Tout cela laisse présager de bons moments pour les producteurs vache-veau et de semences.

Nous sommes prêts pour un grand printemps de vente de taureaux, mais vous devez toujours travailler pour rester en contact avec vos anciens clients et obtenir les meilleures photos et vidéos pour les promouvoir afin de maximiser vos retours.

Si vous avez des questions, ou si Jon Wright, Robbie Chomik ou moi-même pouvons vous aider, n’hésitez pas à nous contacter. Je vous souhaite à toutes et à tous un très Joyeux Noël et une Bonne Année Charolaise. À la prochaine, Helge

MISE À JOUR D’AUTOMNE DE L’ACC, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 Cela veut dire que lorsque vous effectuez maintenant une recherche pour un animal donné sur notre site internet, vous pouvez donc consulter toutes les données de performance de l’animal. Ces données incluent en fait

toutes les données ayant été recueillies par les membres et transmises via le système d’enregistrement de l’ACC. Voici un excellent outil qui vous fournit des informations très utiles lorsque vous êtes à la recherche

de nouvelles lignées génétiques à considérer dans votre programme.

Veuillez communiquer avec le bureau de l’ACC pour toutes questions ou préoccupations que vous pourriez avoir.

Post your sale catalogue and videos where Charolais buyers go. For just $400, you can expose your sale to the industry at charolaisbanner.com Charolais Banner • December 2021

Le marché du bœuf en Amérique du Nord en 2021 nous a donné de nombreux records, notamment une production de bœuf record, une demande de bœuf record, des exportations de bœuf record, des prix de gros records du bœuf, des bénéfices

records pour les emballeurs et enfin, les parcs d’engraissement prenant le dessus et poussant leur prix de vente plus haut.

Il a été dit que les États-Unis et le Canada seront confrontés à une autre baisse d’une année à l’autre du nombre de veaux sur le marché. Les années les plus rentables pour le producteur vache-veau seront de 2022 à 2025, exactement 10 ans après le précédent rallye à des sommets historiques. Tout cela laisse présager de bons moments pour les producteurs vache-veau et de semences.

Nous sommes prêts pour un grand printemps de vente de taureaux, mais vous devez toujours travailler pour rester en contact avec vos anciens clients et obtenir les meilleures photos et vidéos pour les promouvoir afin de maximiser vos retours.

HERD HEALTH

BRSV (Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus) a Deadly Viral Cause of Pneumonia Roy Lewis DVM

I am sure most cattlemen and purebred breeders have had the odd diagnosis of BRSV in their herds, over the years. BRSV appears as either an individual case, or in outbreak form, generally in cattle under one year of age. Pneumonias that often do not respond to antibiotics, or those which clinically have lots of fluid production and frothing evident, as well as runny eyes, BRSV is suspected. Temperatures can be very, very high and the cases are often acute. In the feedlot, they can often appear to be a sudden death and a post mortem diagnosis may give us the final answer.

On the post mortem, the veterinarian will often find various levels of edema and emphysema throughout the entire lung. Once we see how quickly they come on and the damage the lungs undergo, it is not surprising mortality is so high.

It is usually more evident in the fall, with stress weaning, and in times when the temperatures flit below and above freezing leading to pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs), and provides a great medium for the virus to grow.

Stress from weather changes, or areas of poor ventilation, will bring on BRSV. Morbidity can range up to 10-20%, but luckily only a few cases are generally seen at one time.

The vast majority of our vaccination programs include BRSV, as one of the key viral components in them. This means most calves should get an initial vaccination, at two to three months of age, followed by an additional vaccination at, or before, weaning.

This is included in the classical preconditioning shots. Cows are often boostered yearly in their viral program, that also includes IBR, BVD, and PI3.

As with all vaccination programs, increased stress or exposure to the

12

organism can still result in disease. Our so called five-way virals we give cows yearly, primarily to protect against the reproductive diseases IBR and BVD, contain BRSV, so there is some colostral immunity passing off to the calves. I always say, especially with BRSV, there is a greater likelihood of saving the calf, if it is previously vaccinated.

The BRSV virus is very sensitive and cleared from the animal, so even though one suspects it, a veterinarian may be unable to get a positive confirmation from lab tests. Experienced veterinarians will make the diagnosis on clinical signs, acuteness, and if they do a postmortem on gross autopsy findings. I always say to veterinarians and producers, if it acts and looks like BRSV, there is a very good likelihood that’s what it is.

Treatment is much more frustrating, as we often see some cases in the cattle show season, on cattle that are watched intently, and producers notify us within a few hours of sickness.

With BRSV causing damage so quickly, the symptoms are treated, which are reducing the inflammation, usually with anti-inflammatory drugs that also greatly reduce the fever. I have had success with antihistamines, as well as diuretics, to try to reduce the fluid in the lungs. The antihistamines help dry out the lungs and make breathing easier.

Other than allergic reactions, this may be one of the few times veterinarians may prescribe antihistamines. Getting the calves into a fresh cool area is also critical. With dairy calves and veal barns, this is difficult to do, so good ventilation is critical for prevention in housed cattle. Veterinarians will often prescribe antibiotics as well, because with damaged lungs, bacterial pneumonia is a definite possibility. In the initial stages, fluids may need to be given for dehydration. In the future, the newer immune stimulants may be

Charolais Banner • December 2021

another tool your veterinarian may prescribe. One must treat these cattle gently, as even the sudden stress of treatment, or catching in a chute, can push them over the edge. I have found with better vaccination for bacterial pneumonias and antimicrobial therapy, we have vastly reduced those types of pneumonia, but the viral ones, especially BRSV, are our nemesis.

I have found that even in recovered cases there can be enough permanent damage that they may be poor doing.

With commercial cattle, I would not recommend keeping any as replacements. For real valuable breeding stock, they may be poor reproductively, as they don’t grow as well and have trouble keeping weight on. BRSV can be a costly disease, both in the high mortality and the chronics it can create.

As with other respiratory diseases, keep the vaccinations up to date. Some companies tout a one-shot BRSV, but that is a moot point, as you always combine it with the other viral vaccines anyway. Minimize stress and worry about ventilation in housed cattle.

I recommend show cattle get a booster shot a week before show season, of either the injectable, or intranasal vaccines, to booster all types of respiratory disease, including BRSV. I have seen severe cases of BRSV turn around, and other cases relapse in a few months, with resulting mortality. Show cattle have lots of air blown over them to minimize heat stress and susceptibility to all types of pneumonia, but BRSV is one of the most difficult to treat. The advent of many anti-inflammatory drugs have gone a long ways to help you and your veterinarian treat this dreaded disease.

Prevention needs to be our primary goal. If I were to compare any diseases cattle get on the respiratory level, BRSV is pretty similar to the COVID 19 that ..continued on page 14

CBBC NEWS prog·ress

noun /’prägres/ forward or onward movement toward a destination How do you measure progress? To be completely honest, the answer to this question has eluded me for quite some time and I am cognizant that I will likely never be truly satisfied that there is a concrete answer to satisfy this question for myself, let alone everyone that I work on behalf of. That being said, there is no doubt that significant progress has been made over the past year within the Canadian Beef Breeds Council (CBBC) and the primary development initiative that it is leading, the Canadian Beef Improvement Network (CBIN).

I began in the role of Chief Executive Officer with CBBC on October 1, 2021, and since that time I have been on a steep trajectory of learning about the organization and the members we serve. Although I have been working on the development of CBIN for several years and had a good understanding of CBBC and its operations, there clearly has been a period of learning and assessing how best to advance the organization for the betterment of the seedstock sector and it’s members. Having only been in the role for a few months, I can tell you that while there is a strong foundation within CBBC, there is considerable opportunity to elevate the presence of the seedstock sector within the Canadian beef industry.

The collaborative leadership being shown by the CBBC members and

Progress Towards Our Collaborative Goal

their Board is unprecedented within the beef industry, and one only needs to look to the progress of CBIN within the industry as evidence of that leadership.

In the past few months, CBIN has gained substantial momentum, with several exciting accomplishments and announcements. As the engagement and collaboration builds to fully develop this transformational initiative for all segments of the Canadian beef production system, it is imperative that we remain focused on our ultimate destination. CBIN’s ultimate goal is to increase the utilization of genetic data, and drive market signals to create value for all those involved in the Canadian beef production system.

In order to truly capture value from this initiative, we must continue to work to shift CBIN from the idea phase to fully operational, and in order to accomplish that it will take the support and engagement of everyone within the industry.

CBIN has a four-stage development plan aimed to drive this transformational idea forward to full operations:

1. Build the Data Foundation:

Build an operational system that will standardize data collection amongst participating Breed Associations (in progress and to be completed by March 2023).

2. Facilitate Data Linkages:

Develop a cross-sector genetic data hub that will facilitate linkages of

genetic data to traditional production metrics.

TO OUR UPPIN’ THE ANTE FEMALE BUYERS

3. Translate Data:

Create the analytical resources to assist in the translation of genetic data into informed decisions that allow increased value capture from conception to consumption.

4. Drive Adoption:

Advance the understanding of the value of genetic data incorporation and resource utilization across the entire beef production system.

In the coming months, you will see increased communication and engagement from both CBBC and CBIN, as we work to deliver on the CBBC mandate, advance the development of CBIN, and accomplish tangible outcomes for our members and the entire Canadian beef industry.

So, have we made considerable progress? I am confident that the answer to that question is: yes, we have, but I also know we have a long way to go, and a lot of work to complete to reach our destination.

I can assure you that my focus will continue to be on the forward movement of the organization towards our goals, and achieving tangible outcomes that provide value to our members. I look forward to continuing to work with our collaborative network, to elevate the importance of genetic advancement, and build the data infrastructure to capture additional value for all segments of the Canadian beef production system.

In the early days, most Charolais breeders started by recording percentage cattle and breeding to improve to purebred, from the commercial industry. The majority did not come from another purebred breed and had no background of marketing purebreds. The breed’s success was due to many people breaking tradition and learning to promote a product that was not always welcomed.

Most women of the era were not involved in the day to day operation of animal care. Breeders would host a sale and all of the men would be in the back with the cattle, and no one would be available to greet arriving potential buyers. The need was recognized and a forward thinking group of women set out to educate and help other women step up to fill the need.

These women, the Charolettes, played a huge role in the promotion and success of the breed.

It was also an era where promotional items were not available in every town or online. These had to be developed and distributed. The Charolettes led the way in covering this much needed job to advance the breed.

Beyond this, they made cookbooks, became friends, had fun and set out to include every person that entered a Charolais barn, so they would not go to another breed. They are a strong part of the Charolais history.

this slate of eleven to our Charolette directorship: Doris Bargholz, Joan Biensch, Connie James, Judy Lloyd, Georgia Malmberg, Laura Palmer, Sandra Pochylko, Lona Rouse, Jackie Trimble, Kathleen Weiss and Val Wolfenden, representing B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Soon after, we grew to include Manitoba, Ontario (Alberta Devins), Quebec (Georgette Lacroix) and the Maritimes. Our furthest member east was Polly Oulton, from Nova Scotia. All the provinces were eventually represented by some amazing and capable ladies, who took their role as a Charolette very seriously.

Now, if you don’t mind, I am going to copy a presentation by friend and Charolette reporter, Jackie Trimble, who has done a far better job of explaining what a “Charolette” is … or was:

Rudy and Judy Enzman, 1968

What’s a Charolette? by Judy Enzmann Lloyd That’s a very good question to ask, especially since it was a group created in 1967 and is no longer in existence.

The very first Charolais production sale was scheduled in Stettler, Alberta, for November 30, 1967, at Charrouse Ranch, owned by Ron and Lona Rouse. My late husband, Rudy Enzmann, and I, along with our partners Rodney James, John Owen and Gerry Lalonde had started a sales management company, called Charcan, and Charcan was hired to manage the sale. We were all quite inexperienced then, as it was our first sales management job and it was new ground for the registered Charolais business in Canada.

A bit of background: both Rudy and I had come from a registered Hereford background and I was a long time 4-H member from British Columbia. I also liked organization, so the evening prior to the sale, November 29th, 1967, I put the word out that I would like the ladies of the Charolais industry to discuss the formation of a group of supporters, for social, promotional, friendship and “growing together” of a relatively new breed of cattle in Canada. We were a relatively small but enthusiastic group of eleven who met at the Heartlander Motel, in Stettler. It seems when you suggest something, you get a new job, and I did. That of interim president, which rolled into the role of President for a couple of terms.

We agreed to meet in February, of 1968, in Calgary, during the CCA Convention, and at that time we elected 18

To Be or Not To Be a Charolette? by Jackie Trimble Many of you ask me “Why should I be a Charolette? Why? Because Charolais is your life blood! You should be vitally interested in promoting it in every way you can. We are not here for “tea”, we are here for business! Charolettes offers you the privilege of sharing in the adventure of turning hospitality into firm friendships and good business contacts. You can make your life count, along with your husband’s, by helping him through Charolettes.

You are all proud, self-reliant women with an intense love of liberty and you have an iron will – that’s why we want you in Charolettes. To be a force to be counted. I like your fierce pride – I feel the same. You ask me to help, but don’t tell me! I don’t want to waste your time, or mine, on long, pointless meetings. We try to keep them to the point, short and few. If we work together, think what a group of women like us can accomplish for the Charolais industry in good will and public relations – and that my friends is where this business of selling begins. We need to work together, as well as individuals, to reach that large market that doesn’t even know we exist… yet! If we didn’t work together some, and share our knowledge, our husbands would still be carrying clubs and skinning animals and eating them raw, and there wouldn’t be Charolais either!

We can work together to make a better business of Charolais and still keep our individuality. Do what you can, when you can.

As the kids say, DO YOUR OWN THING but constructively within a national framework, so we can effectively reach all of Canada.

this slate of eleven to our Charolette directorship: Doris Bargholz, Joan Biensch, Connie James, Judy Lloyd, Georgia Malmberg, Laura Palmer, Sandra Pochylko, Lona Rouse, Jackie Trimble, Kathleen Weiss and Val Wolfenden, representing B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Soon after, we grew to include Manitoba, Ontario (Alberta Devins), Quebec (Georgette Lacroix) and the Maritimes. Our furthest member east was Polly Oulton, from Nova Scotia. All the provinces were eventually represented by some amazing and capable ladies, who took their role as a Charolette very seriously.

Now, if you don’t mind, I am going to copy a presentation by friend and Charolette reporter, Jackie Trimble, who has done a far better job of explaining what a “Charolette” is … or was:

Rudy and Judy Enzman, 1968

What’s a Charolette? by Judy Enzmann Lloyd That’s a very good question to ask, especially since it was a group created in 1967 and is no longer in existence.

The very first Charolais production sale was scheduled in Stettler, Alberta, for November 30, 1967, at Charrouse Ranch, owned by Ron and Lona Rouse. My late husband, Rudy Enzmann, and I, along with our partners Rodney James, John Owen and Gerry Lalonde had started a sales management company, called Charcan, and Charcan was hired to manage the sale. We were all quite inexperienced then, as it was our first sales management job and it was new ground for the registered Charolais business in Canada.

A bit of background: both Rudy and I had come from a registered Hereford background and I was a long time 4-H member from British Columbia. I also liked organization, so the evening prior to the sale, November 29th, 1967, I put the word out that I would like the ladies of the Charolais industry to discuss the formation of a group of supporters, for social, promotional, friendship and “growing together” of a relatively new breed of cattle in Canada. We were a relatively small but enthusiastic group of eleven who met at the Heartlander Motel, in Stettler. It seems when you suggest something, you get a new job, and I did. That of interim president, which rolled into the role of President for a couple of terms.

We agreed to meet in February, of 1968, in Calgary, during the CCA Convention, and at that time we elected 18

To Be or Not To Be a Charolette? by Jackie Trimble Many of you ask me “Why should I be a Charolette? Why? Because Charolais is your life blood! You should be vitally interested in promoting it in every way you can. We are not here for “tea”, we are here for business! Charolettes offers you the privilege of sharing in the adventure of turning hospitality into firm friendships and good business contacts. You can make your life count, along with your husband’s, by helping him through Charolettes.

You are all proud, self-reliant women with an intense love of liberty and you have an iron will – that’s why we want you in Charolettes. To be a force to be counted. I like your fierce pride – I feel the same. You ask me to help, but don’t tell me! I don’t want to waste your time, or mine, on long, pointless meetings. We try to keep them to the point, short and few. If we work together, think what a group of women like us can accomplish for the Charolais industry in good will and public relations – and that my friends is where this business of selling begins. We need to work together, as well as individuals, to reach that large market that doesn’t even know we exist… yet! If we didn’t work together some, and share our knowledge, our husbands would still be carrying clubs and skinning animals and eating them raw, and there wouldn’t be Charolais either!

We can work together to make a better business of Charolais and still keep our individuality. Do what you can, when you can.

As the kids say, DO YOUR OWN THING but constructively within a national framework, so we can effectively reach all of Canada. You should each work promoting and helping at events in your home area, but we also need a national organization to keep in touch, to call meetings, to handle problems, to handle promotional material and supplies, to keep you up to date on activities, which the Banner does through CHAROLETTE CHATTER…. free to us, and to keep us moving ahead with some kind of roadmap, to better business communication and education. It is your organization nation-wide, so tell your executive what you want to do.

Dolores & Harold Thornton

you are wearing a Charolette name badge and say: “Hi, I’m Jane Doe, from Timbuctoo, glad to see you at our Charolais sale” They will probably say “Howdy, glad to know you”. Some women are too shy to say boo, but having a Charolette name badge can eliminate shyness because it tells people immediately who you are and that you are a Charolette. Some may say “Oh hi, I’ve heard about your organization” and you have made a new friend.

Charolettes have made a practise of being friendly, making sure that people meet each other, so we all have a feeling of belonging.

We hand out catalogues at sales, because it gives us a chance to welcome buyers and friends, and say hello while performing a useful function. Some say “let the sales management do it,” but they have missed the point. We are working together to create that good feeling in a buyer, so he will be more eager to buy your cattle and my cattle. We try hard to have greeting committees to make new and old members feel happy they came. Or someone may be thinking about buying Charolais and may decide on the spot because someone noticed that he was there. We are a very young organization. But we have plans of consumer education starting with our own Charolais people, and spreading through newspapers, magazines and TV. Charolettes can do this. Our ideas and performance can grow as our membership and willingness to work does.

Some girls can’t travel, as you girls who are here can, but you can carry word and initiative back to those girls in your area and be a leader. Those little gals at home can be the best darn Charolette workers and public relations people in their own Timbuctoos, if they understand what we Charolettes want to accomplish. If they can’t travel far, they can still join Charolettes 20

and show that they think the idea has merit and do their best wherever they are. That is support and teamwork.

This is a great age of innovations in the cattle world and we women are part of it. Charolais women are one half of the business. We are here to work with our men, and our men are behind our idea and backing us with money when we need it (for promotion and Charolais merchandise) when we need it.

What do you get out of Charolettes? Plenty! Being behind your breed – your life and everyone knowing it, inspiring confidence in people by wearing the Charolette name badge, and working with a group trying to help Charolais breeders and Charolettes to be the best, most informed, and friendliest organization in the cattle world today.

So that was rather lengthy, but we had a mission, and I think we accomplished quite a lot of good within the Charolais breed as well as made lifelong friends.

We often helped to change minds about this “new” breed of cattle through education and information.

Later, subsequent Charolette groups helped young Charolais enthusiasts with bursaries for those entering Veterinary Medicine, in Guelph, Ontario, and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, universities. We had members from the Atlantic to the Pacific, we worked, we contributed, we laughed, we hugged, we had a wonderfully inspired support group that made newcomers feel welcomed and included.

Personally, I feel honoured to add this period piece to the December issue of the Charolais Banner, it’s

been 54 years since that inaugural formation meeting in Stettler, I am asking Dolores Thornton to add some comments to this as she served as President for a number of terms and implemented many good projects to the Charolette group. I would like to thank all of the ladies who participated in the Charolette group, it would not have been the same without these dynamic women who shared a love and a vision.

Added Thoughts by Dolores Thornton

Thank you, Judy for writing about the beginning of the Canadian Charolettes. Your initial idea of having a group of women already in Charolais, together with your business acumen and limitless energy, resulted in an organization that brought the woman’s touch into promotion of the breed, during its early years in Canada.

As Jackie Trimble has mentioned, we covered a lot of ground, from providing promotional items to breeders, to creating a welcoming atmosphere at sales and other events.

Plus, we grew as individuals and partners in our own farm

business, through our self development via our advancing responsibilities as Charolettes. We met people from all over Canada, even internationally, not only Charolais breeders, but people in other breeds, ag services and government, which built our self confidence, industry knowledge and contacts.

Early on, I was elected Vice President of Supplies, a job that grew like Topsy. From a modest few items like pins and jewelry, we ended up designing and producing a couple of dozen items, which were sold across the country, over several years. Soon, I was elected President for a few terms, which gave me many fun opportunities, such as presenting bursaries to veterinary students at Guelph, Saskatoon, St. Hyacinthe vet schools, speaking at Canadian Charolais Association meetings, and widely representing Charolais across the country. But probably the most rewarding part was seeing the personal development of our Charolettes, in their promoting and selling supplies, public speaking, hosting duties and generally being ambassadors for the Charolais industry.

OBITUARY

Jacqueline (Jackie) Jean Trimble 1935 – 2021

Jackie passed away November 3rd at the age of 86.

She is survived by her son Rodger and her daughter Leslie Ann. Jackie was the personification of a ray of sunshine, brightening the lives of everyone she met. Always walking on the sunny side of the street, she could lift anyone’s spirits. One of her favourite songs was Bing Crosby’s cover of “Accentuate the Positive”, which she’d happily sing off-key when one of her kids was feeling blue.

Jackie was born and raised in the sand hills of northwest Oklahoma. In 1957, she fell in love with a Canadian boy during her senior year at the University of Oklahoma and moved to Alberta, Canada, where she lived for the next 64 years. One of her proudest moments was when she became a Canadian citizen in 1996.

Through the years, she lived in

OBITUARY

the big city of Calgary, then on a cattle ranch near Okotoks and finally back in Calgary again. Jackie and her former husband, Harvey, were a great team, both as the best parents two kids could ever hope for, and as ambassadors around the world for Charolais and Simmental cattle. Their Charolais operation, starting in the mid 60s and continuing for over 20 years, started as Charhat Charolais, then became Valiant Ranches and ended as Highfield Stock Farm.

Jackie was an active member of the Charolette organization and also wrote a monthly column for the “Charolais Banner” for many years called Charolette Chatter, which usually included hijinks involving a mischievous badger.

And who knew cows could take you around the globe?! Whenever possible, Jackie and Harvey made sure their kids could tag along too.

Talk about lucky children!

The cattle life opened her eyes

to this wonderful world we live in, so later in life Jackie took every opportunity to explore the four corners of Earth, often with a favourite girlfriend as her trusty sidekick. She rode a camel by the pyramids of Egypt and watched the sun rise over the temples of Angkor Wat and Machu Picchu. She walked on the Great Wall of China, parasailed in Mexico and sipped café au laits in Paris. She even made a very brief guest appearance in Dame Edna’s show on Broadway. Jackie loved all of her travels.

Throughout her life’s journey, she would also gladly go where angels feared to tread, helping countless family members and friends through emotionally traumatic times. Despite her own health challenges through the decades, she was always there for everyone she cared about, especially her family.

A celebration of Jackie’s life will be announced at a later date.

J. Allan McDonald, 71, of Sidney, Manitoba, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his family, after a battle with cancer on November 19, 2021. He is survived by his four children, Ron (Gail), Brian, Heather (Shea), Janna (Corey) and four grandchildren, Shae Lynn, Casen, Lachlan and Kipton. He was predeceased by his partner, Brenda, who he was laid to rest beside.

Some of his favourite things to 22

do were hunting, fishing, quading, snowmobiling, boating, and spending time around the fire at his lakefront cabin at Sandy Lake, Manitoba.

Farming was his life, as he grew up on the family farm with his parents, Roy and Margaret, and three younger brothers, Howard, Don and Colin.

Farming came very naturally to him.

In 1970, he began farming on his own growing grain and starting to build a cattle herd. He started using purebred Charolais bulls in the late 70s. In 1981, he ventured into growing potatoes, which his son, Brian, continues to do to this day. 1982 marked the start

of Allan buying his first purebred Charolais females, being the first in the area to do so. His son, Ron, took over the purebred herd in 1996 and continues to raise purebred Charolais cattle to this day, under the name R & G McDonald Livestock. Next year will mark 40 years of raising purebred Charolais cattle between Allan and Ron. Allan continued raising commercial cattle until two years ago, marking 50 years of farming in Sidney. Even in retirement, Allan was regularly lending a hand on either of his sons’ farms.

Results Driven Agriculture Research Funding Announcement

Results Driven Agriculture Research (RDAR) has invested $640,000 in a collaborative research project with the Canadian Beef Improvement Network (CBIN) to springboard the development of a unified, standardized, and producer-accessible beef cattle genetics data platform.

Through this platform, CBIN will provide commercial cattle producers and the entire beef production chain with access to critical data that will help better inform genetic decisions and improve environmental and economic sustainability.

“Genetic data is essential to ensuring Alberta beef continues to be known worldwide for being the best. This project is a prime example of the innovation Alberta is known for, with industry groups working together to find new opportunities and new markets for their producers. I’m interested in seeing how this project benefits our ranchers and the province as a whole.”

Devin Dreeshen, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry To date, eight Canadian beef cattle breed associations have committed to participate in the development of CBIN under the leadership of the Canadian Beef Breeds Council. This data-driven platform will benefit Canadian cattle producers directly. CBIN will give producers access to on-farm, ondemand genetic information to improve herd quality and inform marketing and genetic selection decisions.

Genetic data has value as a change agent. Today, genetic information is available to help producers make essential breeding decisions on fertility, growth, feed efficiency, disposition, calving ease, and carcass measures, to name a few. However, the beef industry underutilizes genetic data, and significant opportunities for producers to optimize their herd genetics are missed. By utilizing the CBIN platform to inform genetics decisions, producers will realize substantial benefits by capturing environmental efficiencies, improving animal and herd health and 70

management, and validating product quality.

The collaborative framework of CBIN’s genetic advancements and technological innovations will be vitally important for the whole Canadian beef industry.

“Data-driven genetic decisions and adoption of innovative genetic technologies will benefit all segments of the Canadian beef production chain from conception right through to consumption. Genetics has the potential to create benefits across the board, in the areas including, but not limited to, production efficiencies, environmental sustainability, animal health and welfare, food security and food product outcomes.”

David Sibbald, President, Canadian Beef Breeds Council & Chair, Canadian Beef Improvement Network This project is unique as it seeks to bring an innovative solution to an existing gap in data capture, standardization, and digitalization in beef production. By adopting new genetic technologies and increasing genetic data literacy, Canadian beef producers will be better able to interpret the genetic data of their herds.

By using data to inform breeding decisions, producers will improve economic efficiencies and reduce their environmental footprint.

“Alberta produces some of the best beef in the world. To help our industry expand markets and compete globally, there needs to be an improvement in producers’ genetic literacy and the use of genomics within our beef industry. By understanding and sharing the linkages of beef genetic data, along with other production metrics, we will see increased profitability and competitiveness in our industry.”

Clinton Dobson, RDAR Director of Research RDAR is proud to support this research project. The work will drive the integration and adoption of genetic innovations, standardizing genetic data capture and simplifying data access, assisting Canadian beef producers in making better decisions.

ASSOCIATION NEWS

The 58th Annual Saskatchewan Charolais Association Annual General Meeting was held on Friday, December 3rd, in Saskatoon.

There were 20 voting members in attendance, which included the Board of Directors.

Jordan Moore of Redvers, was reelected President for another term.

Justin Cay, Kinistino, moved up to 1st Vice President; Kurtis Phillips, Estevan, was elected to fill the role of 2nd Vice President. The position of Secretary-Treasurer role will continue to be held by the Saskatchewan Livestock Association, Regina.

Kurtis Phillips was re-elected, and newly elected to the nine-member board for three-year terms were Dale Weinbender, Canora, and Nigel Oram, Central Butte. Retiring from the board was Kelly Howe, Moose Jaw, and Tyler Smyth, Swift Current.

The 2020 financial statement showed a net earning for the year of $19,679. Income was $36,187 and expenses were $16,508. These were significantly lower then the previous year, with Covid-19 having an impact on their income, and reducing show expenses, sponsorship opportunities, etc. The association remains in good shape, with over $80,000 in current assets, which consist mostly of term deposits and cash.

Promotion and advertising continued to be the largest expenditures in the report, accounting for $6,752 of expenses.

In 2020, they continued to run SCA flip ads, or permanent signs, in all Saskatchewan livestock markets.

Promotional ads ran in the Charolais Banner and Charolais Connection.

Sponsorship of youth events for 2020 was down due to the cancellation of many events. Gate signs were purchased for the 2020 Commercial Breeder of Year, which was awarded to McKenzie Ranch, Dave McKenzie & family, Delisle; and the 2020 Purebred Breeder of the Year was awarded to Beck Farms, Wade and

Saskatchewan Charolais AGM Cynthia Beck and family, Milestone.

With no shows or sales happening in 2020, there was no report from the show and sale committee. With the cancellation of many 4-H regional shows, the ability of the SCA’s 4-H & Youth Committee to sponsor these events was greatly reduced. Some 4-H clubs did proceed with hosting virtual shows, and the SCA was able to award 33 gift cards at a value of $40/each to the members who had Charolais or Charolais influenced projects.

The website and social media

report was delivered. Darlene Voegeli continues to be the administrator of the SCA Facebook page.

Jordan Moore read his president report, as well as the report from the Canadian Charolais Association (CCA) on behalf of Craig Scott, which provided a CCA update.

The winner of the Saskatchewan Charolais Bull Buyer $2,000 credit was Jerome Canfield, Paradise Hill.

The SCA scholarship is still in the development stage, and will be announced when finalised.

2021 SCA Board of Directors: Back L-R: Nigel Oram, Central Butte; Duncan Spenst, Waldeck; Raymond Paschke, Love; Doug Harcourt, Quill Lake. Front L-R: Belinda Wagner, Secretary/Treasurer, Regina; Justin Cay, 1st Vice President, Kinistino; Jordan Moore, President, Redvers; Kurtis Phillips, 2nd Vice President, Estevan; Kody Meier, Kerrobert.

ASSOCIATION NEWS

The 58th Annual Saskatchewan Charolais Association Annual General Meeting was held on Friday, December 3rd, in Saskatoon.

There were 20 voting members in attendance, which included the Board of Directors.

Jordan Moore of Redvers, was reelected President for another term.

Justin Cay, Kinistino, moved up to 1st Vice President; Kurtis Phillips, Estevan, was elected to fill the role of 2nd Vice President. The position of Secretary-Treasurer role will continue to be held by the Saskatchewan Livestock Association, Regina.

Kurtis Phillips was re-elected, and newly elected to the nine-member board for three-year terms were Dale Weinbender, Canora, and Nigel Oram, Central Butte. Retiring from the board was Kelly Howe, Moose Jaw, and Tyler Smyth, Swift Current.

The 2020 financial statement showed a net earning for the year of $19,679. Income was $36,187 and expenses were $16,508. These were significantly lower then the previous year, with Covid-19 having an impact on their income, and reducing show expenses, sponsorship opportunities, etc. The association remains in good shape, with over $80,000 in current assets, which consist mostly of term deposits and cash.

Promotion and advertising continued to be the largest expenditures in the report, accounting for $6,752 of expenses.

In 2020, they continued to run SCA flip ads, or permanent signs, in all Saskatchewan livestock markets.

Promotional ads ran in the Charolais Banner and Charolais Connection.

Sponsorship of youth events for 2020 was down due to the cancellation of many events. Gate signs were purchased for the 2020 Commercial Breeder of Year, which was awarded to McKenzie Ranch, Dave McKenzie & family, Delisle; and the 2020 Purebred Breeder of the Year was awarded to Beck Farms, Wade and

Saskatchewan Charolais AGM Cynthia Beck and family, Milestone.

With no shows or sales happening in 2020, there was no report from the show and sale committee. With the cancellation of many 4-H regional shows, the ability of the SCA’s 4-H & Youth Committee to sponsor these events was greatly reduced. Some 4-H clubs did proceed with hosting virtual shows, and the SCA was able to award 33 gift cards at a value of $40/each to the members who had Charolais or Charolais influenced projects.

The website and social media

report was delivered. Darlene Voegeli continues to be the administrator of the SCA Facebook page.

Jordan Moore read his president report, as well as the report from the Canadian Charolais Association (CCA) on behalf of Craig Scott, which provided a CCA update.

The winner of the Saskatchewan Charolais Bull Buyer $2,000 credit was Jerome Canfield, Paradise Hill.

The SCA scholarship is still in the development stage, and will be announced when finalised.

A LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP

By Sharla Ishmael

When Neil Orth’s portrait is hung in the Saddle and Sirloin gallery this fall, he’ll be joining industry greats who once mentored him as a young man. Those who know him best say his biggest imprint on the livestock business can be seen in the successful careers of so many individuals he taught, encouraged and inspired as a mentor himself over the last five decades.

Courtesy of the Charolais Journal after Michigan State University, Orth worked as a fieldman for Drover’s Journal under the guidance of another livestock marketing legend, Fos Palmer.

One of the clients he called on in his territory was a big-time As a young man growing up in Seaton, Hampshire hog breeding family, the Illinois, on the place his father and Lindskogs.

for cattle type in the industry.”

If you haven’t guessed it already, the steer was the famous “Conoco”— the first crossbred steer to win the International Livestock Show. More than just a single show, Conoco set in motion a huge change in the industry from the fat, little “belt-buckle” type of purebred Angus, Shorthorn and Hereford steers to the explosion of Continental breeds and crossbreeding. If Orth hadn’t been there to advise the Lindskogs, Conoco might have won the Illinois State Fair carcass show, but he wouldn’t have been the turning point of type change for the cattle industry (particularly the Charolais breed) that he was.

The Conoco story is also a great example of another distinguishing Orth characteristic — being perfectly willing to take a back seat so others can shine in the lights. Few people probably know of his connection to that steer because he just didn’t broadcast it. He was there the day Dr. Good slapped the steer champion, but he stayed in the background because, he says, as a Drovers representative he didn’t want to be seen as showing favoritism.

“You will never hear Neil brag of his accolades and accomplishments, as he is as humble as they come. I feel that is a true testament to the individual that Neil is. Quietly confident, full of integrity,” wrote Cody Beck, southwest representative for the AmericanInternational Charolais Association, in one of 158 letters of support for Neil Orth’s nomination for the Saddle & Sirloin Portrait Award.

The letters came from 27 states, four foreign countries, seven previous Saddle & Sirloin Portrait recipients, seven fellow breed executives, 23 current and past employees and more from various facets of the business, from auctioneers to academics. One supporter called Orth his hero, another named his son after him. Most spoke about his professionalism, poise under fire and people skills, not to mention a sharp eye for the right kind of cattle. Then there’s this letter.

“In my opinion, his greatest attribute has been instilling the love and passion for the industry to the younger generations he has encountered and served. I have been privileged to be a part of that group and, most importantly, fortunate to call him … Dad,” wrote daughter Jamie Orth Lane. While I was growing up, I knew my father as a cattleman, a marketer and a historian.

I remember being at my grandparent’s house and seeing a picture of a Chicago Champion steer and being unable to process that my dad was telling me he and my grandpa raised him (a HerefordSimmental named Bold Move, shown by Kristin Lindskog in 1972).

“That picture proudly hangs in my living room today and his grandchildren often comment on how competitive that steer would be today. He taught me many things about breeding cattle and the one that I easily remember is if it

doesn’t fit in the industry, it shouldn’t fit in the showring. Fads were not allowed at our house! I can’t even begin to place a value on the cattle he helped market throughout the years, but I do know he was influential in the marketing of many industry-changing genetics,” she added.

“We have had many conversations about this young kid or that young kid and what a great one (auctioneer, breeder, marketer) he is going to be.

Just like his sense in finding a “green” one for us to show back in the day, he has that same sense with people. And perhaps that will be his greatest legacy, finding the right people for the right job and equipping them with the skills and knowledge they need to continue to move this industry forward,” Jamie wrote.

She and her brothers, Brian and Scott, formed the Orth Outfit and were very successful showing the Hereford cattle they raised, including a number of national champions at the Hereford Junior Nationals in the 1980s.

Right time, right place In addition to stockmanship that comes from a being part of a generational family farm, Orth had the benefit of going to Michigan State University (MSU) at a time when young graduate students were there who would go on to become industry icons — like Harlan Ritchie. In fact, Ritchie (a fellow portrait member) has said Orth was on one of the best livestock judging teams he ever coached at Michigan State and was “the most talented on a very talented team.” Orth also became herdsman at MSU’s purebred beef unit under the guidance of Ritchie and Larry Cotton.

He also worked at Penn State under Herman Purdy (another portrait member), as a team member taking the university’s show cattle on the road.

Spearheaded by Gary Minish (portrait member), who was an MSU graduate student at the time, Orth took on a very interesting side gig during his college years, which in turn led to his first full-time job out of college. The Central National Bank of Chicago hired him to manage and take on tour four consecutive grand champion steers from the International Livestock Show.

Agriculture joined in and wanted Orth to take the champion steer overseas, to West Berlin, Germany to display at the World Trade Fair and promote U.S. beef. In addition to a paid trip around Europe, Orth had the opportunity to be an ambassador for the American beef industry and it gave him insight into the value of public relations and strategic marketing.

It was during one of these steer tours in the Midwest where Orth happened to meet some folks with 78

Drovers. “They asked if I would consider becoming a fieldman,” he explains. “I said ‘Yes, I sure would.’”

He started as a fieldman for Drovers in 1968, with his whole territory being just one-half of the state of Illinois. It was a very different time in livestock publishing when there was enough money being invested in print advertising to support a fieldman in just half of a state. Orth was good at selling ads because he was good with people and an exceptional ringman at CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

Charolais Banner • December 2021

sales. Soon, his territory increased and by 1970 he was promoted to director of field staff and advertising sales manager.

It was a quick rise at a very prestigious publication, and he credits part of what he learned about being a good salesman to Fos Palmer (yet another member of the portrait gallery).

“Fos was semi-retired at the time, and I was fortunate enough to somehow catch his eye,” Orth recalls. “We’d go make herd visits together. He never talked about selling ads, but his big deal was we would rehearse the dog’s name, the wife’s name, all that kind of stuff before we got out of the vehicle. He gave me a rate card, but most of what he instilled was people skills.

“He taught me that cows don’t buy advertising; people do,” Orth says.

It was the glory days of livestock advertising when tax laws brought a lot of wealth into the cattle business — that and all of the “new” Continental breeds exploding on the scene. Between 1970 and 1987, gross ad sales revenue increased at Drovers by several hundred percent. In 1983, Orth was named associate publisher and he assumed supervision over both editorial and sales departments. In 1984, he was named the Livestock Marketer of the Year. In 2000, Neil was inducted into the Livestock Publications Council Hall of Fame for meritorious service to the livestock publishing industry.

“Also, 90% of the breed associations did not own their own magazine until the mid-70s and 80s. All of those things were happening that will never happen again,” he explains.

In 1987, as the industry’s economic situation shifted, Orth left Drovers to form a full-service marketing company, The Connection, Inc., specializing in comprehensive marketing services for purebred and commercial producers.

In 1988, plot twist — Orth was hired as executive vice president of the International Brangus Breeders Association. It was a different role for Orth, but one he had actually considered for a while.

“I always looked up to breed association execs like Hop Dickinson at Hereford, Pete Swaffar at Shorthorn, Dick Spader at Angus and Roger Hunsley, also at Shorthorn,” he explains.

“I saw how they handled themselves and I thought if you really liked the livestock

business it was a great place to be. I thought I might like to do that someday.

Then Brangus contacted me.”

At that time, many breed associations were struggling with the implementation of EPDs and how to process, utilize, and ensure the accuracy of performance data. It was also a financially difficult time as the breed association world struggled to adapt to the sudden change in tax laws that sucked out quite a bit of registrations and money from their coffers.

While some breeds wasted time arguing about it, Orth was able to convince Brangus board members to get on the data train. During his 12-year tenure at IBBA, the breed: • Began collecting ultrasound data and funded ultrasound research at Kansas State and Auburn.

• Implemented multiple programs to collect and quantify data.

• Developed carcass EPDs. • Developed a performance registration certificate.

• Was the first breed to publish ribeye area EPDs. • Implemented Whole Herd Reporting.

• Was the first breed association to publish fat thickness and intramuscular fat EPDs. • Doubled cash reserves from 1990-98.

When he took over the helm at the American-International Charolais Association in 2001, Orth brought with him the same ability to guide membership to embrace decisions that have moved the Charolais breed forward.

Under his leadership, the Charolais association has: • Tripled cash reserves to $6 million.

• Adopted Whole Herd Reporting.

• Enhanced EPDs with genomic data (GE-EPDs).

• Developed industry’s first Terminal Sire Index.

• Implemented single step genomic evaluation.

• Began evaluating udder score data.

• Launched a bi-annual tabloid targeting the commercial industry.

When AICA brought him to Kansas City, Orth also focused on giving his time and leadership to the American Royal, a show that was struggling.

He’s served as the livestock committee chairman for 15 years and served on the junior premium auction committee for more than 20 years. In 2015, Neil was presented the Lifetime Achievement

Award by the American Royal for his dedication and outstanding service.

“Sitting on the block, witnessing and impacting every child who has entered that ring over the last 20 years, is Mr. Neil Orth,” wrote Glen Alan Phillips, Charlie Tetrick and Kim Palmer, with the American Royal Association. “Because of him, these youth’s memories have been brighter, their college accounts have larger balances, and the American Royal Board, staff, and volunteers have felt an indescribable amount of support.”

It’s impossible to try and capture all that a person like Neil Orth has done in a 50-year career in one article. Beyond the awards — even being honored with his portrait in the Saddle & Sirloin gallery — one quote from a nomination letter really gets to the heart of the matter of the legacy Orth will leave behind when he retires this year.

“Even with all these prestigious accomplishments the real measure of his success is the person he is,” wrote

Neil working the ring at the National Western, early 1970’s.

auctioneer James M. Birdwell. “He is a friend to all, young or old, beginning or established, any breed or color, rich or poor, he will know you. His smiling friendly demeanor is contagious along with his encouragement and his congratulations for a job well done is priceless. All these characteristics coupled with a true desire and willingness to serve the industry set him apart and identifies him truly as the professional of the professionals.”

What comes next? Orth plans to spend a lot of time with grandchildren and travel with his wife, Diane, to revisit some of the places he’s been along the way. There is the family farm still in Illinois and other places he’s been in his life where he’d like to do some of the things he didn’t have time for back in the day. One thing is for sure, wherever he goes, Neil Orth will have many friends very happy to see him. He might even go to an auction sometime along the way.

“I always looked up to breed association execs like Hop Dickinson at Hereford, Pete Swaffar at Shorthorn, Dick Spader at Angus and Roger Hunsley, also at Shorthorn,” he explains.

“I saw how they handled themselves and I thought if you really liked the livestock

business it was a great place to be. I thought I might like to do that someday.

Then Brangus contacted me.”

At that time, many breed associations were struggling with the implementation of EPDs and how to process, utilize, and ensure the accuracy of performance data. It was also a financially difficult time as the breed association world struggled to adapt to the sudden change in tax laws that sucked out quite a bit of registrations and money from their coffers.

While some breeds wasted time arguing about it, Orth was able to convince Brangus board members to get on the data train. During his 12-year tenure at IBBA, the breed: • Began collecting ultrasound data and funded ultrasound research at Kansas State and Auburn.

• Implemented multiple programs to collect and quantify data.

• Developed carcass EPDs. • Developed a performance registration certificate.

• Was the first breed to publish ribeye area EPDs. • Implemented Whole Herd Reporting.

• Was the first breed association to publish fat thickness and intramuscular fat EPDs. • Doubled cash reserves from 1990-98.

When he took over the helm at the American-International Charolais Association in 2001, Orth brought with him the same ability to guide membership to embrace decisions that have moved the Charolais breed forward.

Under his leadership, the Charolais association has: • Tripled cash reserves to $6 million.

• Adopted Whole Herd Reporting.

• Enhanced EPDs with genomic data (GE-EPDs).

• Developed industry’s first Terminal Sire Index.

• Implemented single step genomic evaluation.

• Began evaluating udder score data.

• Launched a bi-annual tabloid targeting the commercial industry.

When AICA brought him to Kansas City, Orth also focused on giving his time and leadership to the American Royal, a show that was struggling.

He’s served as the livestock committee chairman for 15 years and served on the junior premium auction committee for more than 20 years. In 2015, Neil was presented the Lifetime Achievement

Award by the American Royal for his dedication and outstanding service.

“Sitting on the block, witnessing and impacting every child who has entered that ring over the last 20 years, is Mr. Neil Orth,” wrote Glen Alan Phillips, Charlie Tetrick and Kim Palmer, with the American Royal Association. “Because of him, these youth’s memories have been brighter, their college accounts have larger balances, and the American Royal Board, staff, and volunteers have felt an indescribable amount of support.”

It’s impossible to try and capture all that a person like Neil Orth has done in a 50-year career in one article. Beyond the awards — even being honored with his portrait in the Saddle & Sirloin gallery — one quote from a nomination letter really gets to the heart of the matter of the legacy Orth will leave behind when he retires this year.

“Even with all these prestigious accomplishments the real measure of his success is the person he is,” wrote

Neil working the ring at the National Western, early 1970’s.

auctioneer James M. Birdwell. “He is a friend to all, young or old, beginning or established, any breed or color, rich or poor, he will know you. His smiling friendly demeanor is contagious along with his encouragement and his congratulations for a job well done is priceless. All these characteristics coupled with a true desire and willingness to serve the industry set him apart and identifies him truly as the professional of the professionals.”

What comes next? Orth plans to spend a lot of time with grandchildren and travel with his wife, Diane, to revisit some of the places he’s been along the way. There is the family farm still in Illinois and other places he’s been in his life where he’d like to do some of the things he didn’t have time for back in the day. One thing is for sure, wherever he goes, Neil Orth will have many friends very happy to see him. He might even go to an auction sometime along the way.

M&L Cattle Co. Beef Day

Roger and Helen Maloney promoted and hosted a beef day at their farm near Indian River, Ontario.

Local commercial and purebred breeders were invited to bring display pens of their programs, and Roger had some of his herd close by, for inspection by the many cattlemen in attendance. About 100 attended this very informative afternoon with lunch and refreshments provided by the Maloneys. It was a beautiful fall day and the visiting amongst the attendees was great.
