POINTS TO PONDER

From the Field Helge By

The bull sale season is all but wrapped up as I write this, and the averages and numbers sold were better than many were anticipating in the west, with the drought conditions still lingering in the southern prairies. You can see from the bull sale summary chart that the sales were off a bit from the record sales in 2021, but still comparable to the 2020 bull sales. I consider this a win for the Charolais breed, as we picked up more market share considering the decreased number of cows to be bred this spring. It was also great to see the crowds coming back to the sales and the smiling faces not hidden behind a mask. The attendance to most sales was not quite back to pre-covid numbers but was a vast improvement for most over the past two years. In some ways, things will never get back to the way they were pre-covid. I don’t think many will do a sale without videos and an online presence, as there are producers out there that prefer to do their searching and buying over the internet. Some find it convenient to maybe tour the bull pens ahead of sale day when they aren’t busy and then just pop into the house, do their business and get back to chores, with little disruption in their day. There are some, though, that really enjoyed getting back out to the sales to visit with fellow producers and socialize a bit after the sale. After a bull sale this spring, I had a visit with a commercial producer who was telling me he bred 120 commercial, British influenced heifers Charolais two years ago and was extremely happy how it worked out with no calving issues at all. He went on to tell me how he selected the bulls to buy to breed his heifers. Now this guy doesn’t buy at the front end of the sales, but knew he wanted to try to breed his heifers Charolais, so their 6

calves could all go in a package with the calves from his cows. He said he didn’t have time to research which bulls calve the best, so he only bought bulls that were out of first calf heifers, who were out of first calf heifers. His logic was the purebred breeders do the research and if the actual birth weight and EPD were good, he knew he had two generations of heifer bulls in the pedigree of the bulls he was buying. It was very simple cowboy logic that worked well for him. He is continuing to breed his heifers to Charolais bulls and feels very comfortable doing it. This spring, we also found there were lab delays, so you should pull hair and do the DNA testing for parentage, 100K and homo polled early. Maybe when you process your bulls in the fall you can do it, so you have the information for your bull sale catalogues. Before you turn your walking bulls out this spring, pull hair and make sure their DNA is complete in case something happens to them in pasture. I also think it is a good practise to pull hair on the cows you are sending to town and put it in an envelope in a filing cabinet just in case you ever need it. There are too many stories of bulls that were sold that couldn’t be parentage verified for qualified semen because their dam was no longer alive. When possible, I would encourage you to calculate gestation lengths. If you AI, or have observed breeding dates, do the calculation and use it in your bull sale catalogues, or on your replacement heifers. It is another tool for calving ease, to which many producers are starting to pay attention. Again, I would also encourage producers to do more ultrasound measuring, so we can improve the EPD of the carcass data going forward. It doesn’t seem like it is paying big dividends now, but I do believe that in the future it will become more important. I also think Charolais Banner • May 2022

that doing your yearling heifers and utilizing that information as another tool can be beneficial. In this issue, along with updates being emailed, posts on our website and other social media, there is information on the Canadian Charolais Association’s face-to-face Annual General Meeting in June, in Russell, Manitoba. Along with herd tours and some great socializing, there will be the first Friends of Charolais Foundation fundraising auction. Getting the charitable status of the Foundation has been a lengthy process but is now completed and ready to be built. The Foundation will grow funds that will be used to strengthen the breed and breeders for many years in the future. The three objectives of the Foundation, from which funds will be allocated, will be youth projects, breeder education, and research where deemed beneficial. It will be guided by an elected board of directors and be separate from the Canadian Charolais Association board of directors. If you have interest in being a part of this contact, Craig Scott, Andre Steppler, Tim Bullick or me, as we were the initial committee to get the ball rolling on this great initiative a few years ago. Marketing tip: Branding your operation is important. Your Association membership should match how you promote your operation. Some operations have incorporated and changed the name of the farm since their parents started with just NAME Charolais. Update your records and build your brand with the correct name. I hope seeding goes well for everyone and there are good moisture conditions for grass and hay everywhere this summer. Jon Wright, Robbie Chomik and I will be touring the country over the next few months and now is a great time to get the herdsires pictured on grass and get some females pictured for websites ..continued on page 14

HELGE BY 306-536-4261

Charolais Banner • May 2022

DES POINTS À RÉFLÉCHIR

Dans nos champs

Helge By

La saison des ventes de taureaux est presque terminée au moment où j’écris ces lignes. Les moyennes et le nombre de vente était meilleur que ce que plusieurs anticipaient dans l’ouest où les conditions de sécheresse ont persistés dans le sud des prairies. Vous pouvez voir sur le tableau récapitulatif des ventes de taureaux que les ventes étaient un peu en retrait par rapport aux ventes record de 2021 mais toujours comparables aux ventes de taureaux de 2020. Je considère que c’est une victoire pour la race charolaise, car nous avons gagné une grande part des marchés compte tenu de la diminution du nombre de vaches à élever ce printemps. C’était aussi formidable de voir la foule revenir aux ventes et de voir des visages souriants sans un masque. La fréquentation de la plupart des ventes n’était pas tout à fait revenue aux chiffres d’avant la Covid, mais cela fut une grande amélioration pour la plupart au cours des deux dernières années. À certains égards, les choses ne reviendront jamais à ce qu’elles étaient avant la Covid. Je ne pense pas que beaucoup de ventes se feront sans vidéos et sans présence en ligne, car il existe des producteurs qui préfèrent faire leurs recherches et leurs achats sur l’internet. Certains trouvent pratique de visiter les enclos des taureaux avant le jour de la vente lorsqu’ils ne sont pas occupés, puis d’entrer dans la maison, de faire leurs affaires et de se remettre à leurs tâches avec peu de perturbations dans leur journée. Certains, cependant, ont vraiment apprécié le retour aux ventes pour rendre visite à d’autres producteurs et socialiser un peu après la vente. Après une vente de taureaux ce printemps, j’ai rendu visite à un producteur commercial qui m’a 8

dit qu’il avait élevé 120 génisses charolaises commerciales d’influence britannique il y a deux ans et qu’il était extrêmement heureux de la façon dont cela s’était passé lors de la saison des vêlages. Il a poursuivi en me racontant comment il sélectionnait les taureaux à acheter pour saillir ses génisses. Ce producteur n’achète pas les taureaux les plus convoités des ventes. Il savait qu’il voulait essayer d’élever ses génisses charolaises pour que leurs veaux puissent être dans le même champs que ses vaches-veaux. Il a dit qu’il n’avait pas le temps de rechercher quels taureaux vêlaient le mieux alors, il a acheté que des taureaux qui étaient issus de génisses du premier vêlage, qui étaient issus de génisses du premier vêlage. Sa logique était que les éleveurs de race pure faisaient la recherche et si le poids réel à la naissance et l’EPD étaient bons, il savait qu’il avait deux générations de taureaux de génisses dans le pedigree des taureaux qu’il achetait. C’était une logique de cowboy très simple qui fonctionnait bien pour lui. Il continue de saillir ses génisses à des taureaux Charolais et se sent très à l’aise de le faire. Ce printemps, nous avons également constaté qu’il y avait des retards de laboratoire. Vous devriez donc prendre un échantillon de poil et faire des tests d’ADN pour la filiation, 100K et homo sans cornes tôt. Peutêtre que lorsque vous rapatriez vos taureaux à l’automne, vous pourrier le faire afin d’avoir les informations pour vos catalogues de vente de taureaux du printemps. Avant de sortir vos taureaux aux champs ce printemps, prenez un échantillon de poils et assurez-vous que leur ADN est complet au cas où quelque chose leur arriverait au pâturage. Je pense aussi que c’est une bonne pratique d’échantillonner les poils des vaches que vous envoyez à l’encan et de les mettre dans une enveloppe dans un classeur au cas où vous en auriez Charolais Banner • May 2022

besoin. Il y a trop d’histoires de taureaux vendus dont la filiation n’a pas pu être vérifiée pour la semence qualifiée parce que leur mère n’était plus en vie. Lorsque cela est possible, je vous encourage à calculer la durée des gestations dans la mesure du possible. Si vous faites l’insémination artificielle ou avez observé des dates de saillie, faites le calcul et utilisezle dans vos catalogues de ventes de taureaux ou sur vos génisses de remplacement. C’est un autre outil de facilité de vêlage auquel beaucoup de producteurs commencent à prêter attention. Encore une fois, j’encouragerais également les producteurs à effectuer davantage de mesures par ultrasons, afin que nous puissions améliorer les données d’EPD sur les carcasses à l’avenir. Il ne semble pas que cela rapporte de grosses dividendes en ce moment mais je crois qu’à l’avenir, cela deviendra plus important. Je pense aussi que faire un examen sur vos génisses d’un an et d’utiliser ces informations comme un autre outil peut être bénéfique. Dans ce numéro, en plus des mises à jour envoyées par courriel, des publications sur notre site internet et sur les réseaux sociaux, vous trouverez des informations sur l’assemblée annuelle générale de l’Association Charolaise du Canada qui se tiendra en présentiel au mois de juin à Russell au Manitoba. En plus des visites de troupeaux et de belles rencontres, il y aura la première vente aux enchères de la fondation des amis Charolais. L’obtention du statut d’organisme à but nonlucratif de la fondation a été un long processus. La fondation étant maintenant créée, nous sommes prêt à la grandir. La fondation souhaite accumuler des fonds qui seront utilisés pour renforcer la race et les éleveurs pendant de nombreuses ..continued on page 14

We have had a busy spring at the CCA office, as we return to a somewhat normal life and in-person events happen. At the time I am writing this report, we are well under way planning our annual meeting and tours, June 10-12 in Russell, MB. Please join us for a great weekend of touring some great Manitoba cattle, along with some fun time with fellow Charolais enthusiasts. This AGM will also feature the first annual “Friends of Canadian Charolais Foundation” fundraising sale. The past several years, we have been working on forming the Friends of Canadian Charolais Foundation and finally, a few months ago, we were notified that we were successful. The idea of the Foundation has been around the CCA board table for many years and a few years ago the timing was right, so the process was started. The purpose of the Foundation is as follows: • To promote education, research and development concerning specific agricultural topics that will benefit the entire beef industry. • To provide scholarships, bursaries, and prizes to advance education in the field of beef production. • To provide funding for the advancement and benefit of youth agricultural activities. • To provide and promote education and research in the field of beef production. • To raise funds to carry on the purpose of the Corporation. • To acquire, accept or receive by purchase, lease, contract, membership fee, donation, legacy, gift, grant, bequest, or otherwise, any kind of

Charolais Banner • May 2022

real or personal properties; and to enter into and carry out agreements, contracts, and undertakings incidental thereto. • To acquire by purchase, lease, devise, gift or otherwise, and to hold, any real or personal property necessary or desirable for the Corporation’s purpose and for the purpose of drawing revenue therefrom, and to sell, lease, mortgage, invest, dispose of, or convey the same or any part thereof, as may be advisable. • To do all such other things as are necessary or incidental or conducive to the purpose of the Corporation. The Foundation sale will feature some unique genetic lots, as well as other lots yet to be confirmed. If you would like to be part of this inaugural event, please contact one of the following members of the sale committee: Andre Steppler 204-750-1951 Tim Bullick 403-350-9858 Helge By 306-536-4261 Craig Scott 403-651-9441 This spring also seen some change to our office team. Haylea Jones, who had been with us for two and a half years, accepted a position with the Calgary Stampede. The board and I would like to thank Haylea for her time with the CCA and wish her all the best. The new voice you will hear when you call the office is Cassidy Matthews. Cassidy has been involved in the purebred beef business her entire life, and also comes with a wealth of knowledge in organizing and running junior shows. I have attended a few bull sales this spring and enjoy the interaction with both the commercial and purebred producers. The sales have remained strong, and we continue to see the effects of the “Charolais Advantage”.

Pourquoi nous faisons ce que nous faisons Craig Scott

Qui a-t-il de nouveau ? Au bureau de l’ACC, nous avons eu un printemps plutôt occupé, alors que nous étions revenus à une vie plus normale et à une présence physique sur place. Au moment d’écrire ce texte, nous avons déjà effectué beaucoup de travail en vue de notre prochaine assemblée générale annuelle et les visites prévues du 10 au 12 juin à Russell, au Manitoba. Joignez-vous à nous pour vivre une belle fin de semaine de visites de fermes Charolais au Manitoba et pour fraterniser avec tous les supporteurs de la race Charolais. De plus, lors de cette AGA, vous pourrez participer à la toute première vente annuelle de levée de fonds de la « Fondation des amis des Charolais Canadiens ». Nous avons travaillé au cours des dernières années à la formation de la Fondation des amis des Charolais Canadiens et, il y a quelques mois, nous avons reçu la confirmation pour aller de l’avant. Cette idée de mettre en place une Fondation était discutée depuis plusieurs années au niveau du Conseil d’administration et, selon un contexte favorable, nous avons donc initié cette démarche il y a quelques années. Les objectifs de notre Fondation sont les suivants : • Promouvoir l’enseignement, la recherche et le développement de sujets agricoles spécifiques et qui bénéficieront à toute l’industrie bovine. • Décerner des bourses d’études, d’autres bourses et des prix afin d’améliorer l’enseignement dans le domaine de la production bovine. • Remettre des fonds dédiés envers l’amélioration et le bénéfice d’activités agricoles pour les jeunes. • Rendre disponible et promouvoir Charolais Banner • May 2022

l’enseignement et la recherche dans le domaine de la production bovine. • Organiser des levées de fonds afin de poursuivre les objectifs de la Corporation. • Acquérir, accepter ou recevoir selon un achat, une location, un contrat, des frais d’adhésion de membre, des dons, héritages, cadeaux, subventions, legs ou encore toutes autres formes de propriétés personnelles; et pour initier et mettre en place des ententes, des contrats et toutes autres formes d’engagements inhérents. • Acquérir par un achat, une location, des devises, des cadeaux ou autrement, et détenir toute propriété réelle ou personnelle requise ou nécessaire aux objectifs de la Corporation et ayant pour objectif de lui apporter des revenus, et de vendre, louer, hypothéquer, investir, disposer de, ou de transmettre toute somme ou tout autre partie associée, tel qu’il en sera convenu. • Effectuer tout autre chose semblable, telle que nécessaire ou accessoire ou favorable aux objectifs de la Corporation. Plusieurs lots de génétique unique ainsi que d’autres lots restant à confirmer seront offerts dans la vente de la Fondation. Si vous voulez faire partie de cet évènement inaugural, veuillez s’il-vous-plait communiquer avec l’un des membres suivants du comité d’organisation de la vente : Andre Steppler (204)750-1951 Tim Bullick (403)350-9858 Helge By (306)536-4261 Craig Scott (403)651-9441 Ce printemps, nous avons également eu un changement au personnel du bureau. Haylea Jones, qui était avec nous depuis deux ans et demi, a accepté un nouvel emploi auprès du Stampede de Calgary. Le Conseil d’administration ainsi que moi-même ..continued on page 14

In a world where time is money, make

your one stop shop for Charolais news, sale catalogues, sale results, breeder websites and more. FROM THE FIELD, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 or bull sale catalogues next spring. Give us a call early so we can plan our schedules and get into as many yards

as possible. The next issue is the 56th Annual Herdsire edition, which is a great place to showcase your program.

Be a part of it. Until next time, Helge

FROM THE FIELD, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 années à l’avenir. Les trois objectifs de la fondation à auquel les fonds seront alloués seront les projets pour les jeunes, l’éducation des éleveurs et la recherche où cela est jugé bénéfique. Elle sera guidée par un conseil d’administration élu et qui sera distinct du conseil d’administration de l’association Charolais canadienne. Si vous êtes intéressé à faire partie de ce groupe, Craig Scott, Andre Steppler, Tim Bullick et moi-même étions le comité qui à lancé cette belle initiative il y a quelques années. Conseil marketing: L’image et la marque de votre exploitation

est importante. Votre adhésion à l’association doit correspondre à la façon dont vous faites la promotion de votre opération. Certaines exploitations ont incorporé et changé le nom de la ferme depuis que leurs parents ont commencé avec juste leurs nom suivi de Charolais. Mettez à jour vos dossiers et construisez votre marque avec le nom rectifié. J’espère que les semences se passeront bien pour tout le monde et qu’il y aura de bonnes conditions d’humidité pour l’herbe et le foin partout cet été. Jon Wright, Robbie Chomik et moi allons visiter le pays

au cours des prochains mois et c’est maintenant le moment idéal pour faire photographier les taureaux sur l’herbe et faire photographier des femelles pour les sites internet ou les catalogues de vente de taureaux au printemps prochain. Appelez-nous tôt afin que nous puissions planifier nos horaires et entrer dans autant de chantiers que possible. Le prochain numéro est la 56e édition annuelle Herdsire, qui est un excellent endroit pour présenter votre programme. Faites-en partie. À la prochaine, Helge

FROM THE CANADIAN CHAROLAIS ASSOCIATION, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 désirons remercier Haylea pour sa collaboration avec l’ACC, et nous lui souhaitons tout le succès futur. Lorsque vous appellerez au bureau, vous entendrez maintenant la voix de Cassidy Matthews. Cassidy a été impliquée durant toute sa vie dans le domaine de l’élevage de bovins de boucherie de race pure, et elle 14

possède une somme imposante de connaissances touchant l’organisation et la conduite de compétitions pour les Juniors. Ce printemps, j’ai assisté à quelques ventes de taureaux, et j’ai bien apprécié mes échanges tant avec les producteurs de race pure que commerciaux. Les ventes sont Charolais Banner • May 2022

demeurées très bonnes, et nous continuons de voir les effets de « L’Avantage Charolais ». Merci Craig Scott Directeur général

CANADIAN BEEF BREEDS COUNCIL NEWS

Making Advancements Through Collaboration Sandy Russell, CEO

It has already been a very busy year for the Canadian Beef Breeds Council (CBBC) with significant progress being made on our efforts to collaboratively advance the development of the Canadian Beef Improvement Network (CBIN), strengthen the foundation of our organization and increase overall value for our members. With these goals in mind, collaborative leadership, improved communication and increased industry engagement continue to be our drivers for success and the first few months of 2022 have already seen considerable achievements for CBBC in these areas. The Canadian beef industry has been notorious for its segmentation and independence – this has been both an advantage and a challenge for our industry. As CBBC continues to advance the development of the CBIN, a new level of collaboration has emerged. While our independent nature has built a strong foundation, there is no doubt that collaboration has the potential to increase innovation, build efficiencies and improve information sharing. Achieving tangible outcomes for all segments of the beef production chain will take many leaders engaged at many levels. CBBC recognizes this and continues to expand the engagement of our members and stakeholders to ensure success for all involved. As we have outlined on several occasions, CBIN has a four-step development plan to drive this transformational initiative forward to full operation that will unlock value across the beef production chain. The four-step plan is as follows: 1. Build the Data Foundation: Build an operational system that 30

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. 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. Starting at the seedstock level, we have made unprecedented progress on working collectively to improve the capture of genetic data and build efficiencies within our processes. Along with a growing number of Canadian breed associations. we are collaborating to advance the first stage of development of CBIN and begin to better unlock the value of the genetic information these organizations collect. In early February, a data strategy and roadmap for development was completed and endorsed by the CBBC leadership. As a direct outcome of this strategy and in order to deliver on the first step of development for CBIN, the development of a Registry Portal is currently underway to standardize and unify the collection of genetic data across participating Canadian beef breeds. As part of the path to completion, a prototype of the CBIN Registry Portal was completed in March and we continue to move forward guided by the Roadmap for CBIN Development. With development of the Charolais Banner • May 2022

Registry Portal underway to fulfill our requirement for step one of development, we are shifting our focus down the development path to the broader industry and facilitating the data linkages which are required to unlock significant value from genetic data in all segments of beef production. While all components of development are critical for CBIN’s ultimate success, step two is the piece that has the potential to truly transform the Canadian beef industry and add value to our system. We recognize that this is no easy undertaking and will take unparalleled collaborative leadership with a diverse set of skills and experience, so we acknowledge that we must continue to expand engaged leaders and critical thinkers in the conversation. In December, CBBC held our Annual General Meeting and provided our membership and the industry with an extensive update on our activities and a plan for the year ahead. With a strong mandate and a lot of work ahead, the current Board leadership acknowledged the need for succession to build and evolve the support and engagement for CBBC and the transformational work that we are leading. As a result of this vision, several new Directors were elected to the CBBC Board. While our past Board members continue to play a strong leadership role for our organization and the entire Canadian beef industry, this transition has increased the number of engaged leaders in the conversation to advance both CBBC and CBIN. The current CBBC Board of Directors elected by the membership is: David Sibbald, Chair; Ken Friesen, Vice Chair; Kevin Blair, Marlin Leblanc, Amanda Matthews, Graham McLean, Hal Nixdorff, Kasey Phillips, ..continued on page 31

At the start of my career in the early 80s, breeding soundness exams (BSE) were increasing in frequency. Now, we are to the point where most large producers are having breeding soundness exams done yearly. Virtually every purebred bull calf sold over 12-15 months will have one performed by the purebred breeder’s veterinarian. I believe the consistency of this exam is very good within the profession. The “reliabull” tape has made, in my opinion, scrotal circumference measurements about as accurate and repeatable among veterinarians as we can hope for. With this checking of bulls, we find penile issues, most of which can be corrected. Breeding bulls can develop penile problems within their lifetime. It behooves veterinarians to attempt medical or surgical treatment because of the value of the bulls and prognosis is often reasonable. Insurance companies want due diligence done and treatments attempted depending on the overall prognosis. Large animal veterinarians need to have some idea as to prognosis, cost, outcome and either perform the task themselves, or refer the procedure to another veterinarian that will. Sometimes our goal is simply to collect semen for freezing and that as well can have a very desirable outcome. The penile problems we are all most familiar with when semen testing young breeding bulls are frenulums, hair rings and penile warts. I have done other articles on them in the past. This is why I think it is ideal to 38

ensure you get protrusion to observe the penis has no abnormalities. Some veterinarians sedate to insure protrusion happens. I encourage veterinarians to tackle most warts and see what the outcome will be. Most wart removals come along quite well and I am pleasantly surprised by the outcome. If warts are wrapped around near the tip of the penis, it is a much more guarded prognosis. Depending on the potential value of the bull, more than one attempt can be made. Sedate, freeze locally in most cases and be ready to ligate large bleeders, or oversew the cut. On the deep ones, be ever cognizant of the urethra. Most veterinarians that have purebred cattle breeders as clients will run into warts. They need to be indicated on the BSE form for full transparency and rechecked to ensure there has not been regrowth. Older breeding bulls’ penile problems stem from cuts, prolapses of the sheath, as well as the extremely rare corkscrew and rainbow deviations. Cuts require visualization to determine severity using hydrotherapy if prolapsed, NSAIDs if found acutely and perhaps flushing of the area, plus the tincture of time. Rest from breeding will often yield an 80% prognosis on return to function. This is usually excellent news considering the value of most of our breeding bulls. We often see the unfound cuts that have healed with bulls from the year before, so they do have a great ability to heal. With paraphimosis (a prolapsed sheath), hydrotherapy should be frequent and once the penis can be retracted inside the sheath, go back to the tincture of time. Severe non resolving prolapse of the sheath may result in the need for a circumcision. Although these are done infrequently, they can be curative and there are recognized Charolais Banner • May 2022

techniques out there. Removal of the extraneous sheath and attaching the ends together is really the technique in a nutshell. You must remember, we are taking an unusable bull and potentially giving him the ability to breed again, so if he is returned to function, it is a very good win. If it doesn’t work, slaughter for salvage is still in the cards. Attempt these and give lots of time for rest. I find a tilt table with good access to the underbelly is best and standard aftercare may be successful. Again in real valuable bulls, we are sometimes correcting the condition where good quality clean semen can be collected and frozen. As a summary, issues involving the bovine penis outcomes are often very favorable, and your veterinarian can give you a prognosis of returning to functionality and the time period necessary. Since the vast majority of these cuts, with or without prolapse, occur during the breeding season, we are often thinking next year’s breeding season. Often purebred breeders hear about these issues on their sold bulls and can help to advise the producer what to do, while they come up with a replacement bull to tide the producer over. As a veterinarian, we can provide a very valuable service to your expensive herd sires. This is never truer than today, as breeding bulls become higher in value and may at times be hard to replace genetically. You must also think if you correct the condition, there may be several years breeding to be captured by that bull in the future. Here’s to an uneventful, productive and fertile breeding season everyone.

PROFILE – KELSEY VANDERVALK

The Experience of CCYA Kelsey Vandervalk

Hard to believe it’s been 14 years since I attended a CCYA Conference and Show. The memories though are still so clear. I still remember at my first CCYA in 2000 in Stettler being a Junior and having no idea what was going on. I remember the senior member in my stall group guiding me to where I was supposed to be for the events and teaching me the ropes. I remember the train ride and robbery that the board had planned for a fun event. As the years went on, I remember travelling to the CCYA conferences and shows across Canada, sometimes on an airplane and sometimes by road, sometimes with cattle and sometimes without.

placed in the other competitions and advanced to the team judging finals at the All Breeds Show in Lacombe, Alberta. In Renfrew, I joined the CCYA board, first as a provincial director and then later as treasurer, and then as secretary. Being on the board and hosting the 2008 Olds Conference and Show taught me a whole new set of skills. Although I was fortunate to be in 4-H, it isn’t a prerequisite for CCYA. As a matter of fact, the two events are very different. Parents are not allowed to participate in CCYA and the kids learn in a different way. They take

The network of people I met through these conferences will last a lifetime. I will be forever thankful for the skills I developed and progressed each summer in public speaking, general cattle knowledge, and networking. Just like 4-H, being involved in these associations and attending these events does help you in your educational and professional career down the line. Not only are there

We are very excited for the day our kids are old enough to join 4-H and attend the CCYA conferences and shows. I highly recommend getting out there and attending the annual CCYA Conference and Show. Even if you cannot make it to all of them and can only make it to the ones in your province, as it rotates every four years, do it! Cattle or no cattle, from a farm, or in town, previous cattle knowledge, or not, it will be a positive experience that you will value for years to come.

Canadian Cattlemen’s Association President’s Report Reg Schellenberg

Being elected President of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) at our Annual General Meeting, on March 25, was an honour. It’s a role that I do not take lightly and since joining CCA’s Board in 2010, I have seen firsthand the commitment and hard work put in by past CCA Presidents. I am proud of our organization’s rich history, and will look to our past successes and how we overcame past challenges to guide our industry to new heights. On behalf of the CCA Board, tremendous gratitude goes out to Bob Lowe for his leadership and dedication over the past two years. You have led our industry through very challenging times and despite limitations on travel, you have strengthened our relationships with policymakers, Parliamentarians, and industry stakeholders, for the benefit of cattle producers across the country. Thank you Bob. I look forward to continuing to work with you over the next two years in your new roles as CCA Past President and Chair of the Public and Stakeholder Engagement (PSE) program. As CCA President, my goals are centred in my passion to leave a vibrant industry for the next generation. Being a part of a multigenerational ranching operation near Beechy, Saskatchewan, I understand and appreciate the succession challenges facing ranching and farm families, and much of my past efforts as a CCA Board Member focused on initiatives to protect and preserve our industry for the next generation. An important way to protect our industry is by being vigilant when it comes to animal health and care. An outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is a very real threat to Canada’s livestock sector with a 60

potential $50 to $60 billion financial impact to the Canadian economy. Investing in a Canadian FMD vaccine bank would help prevent catastrophic losses. We continue to advocate the Government of Canada to establish a vaccine bank of 30 million doses, consisting of 2.5 million doses each of twelve different FMD vaccine concentrates. This is a key priority for Canadian beef producers to ensure economic viability in the future. Enhancements to the current suite of Business Risk Management (BRM) programs and critical infrastructure can help cattle producers from across Canada manage risk, particularly during uncertain times. In 2021, we saw extreme drought and wildfires directly impact beef producers from British Columbia to Ontario, and the consequences will be felt by the entire industry for years to come. CCA’s BRM recommendations to Government focus on helping producers make economically viable decisions and become more resilient to the climate, market, and production risks. For example, making Livestock Price Insurance (LPI) a permanent program will help producers better manage price risk and will ultimately benefit young producers, who don’t have the equity to fall back on. CCA continues to ask for LPI to be made available to cattle producers in the Maritimes as they’re currently without LPI or any similar program. Another way that LPI can be enhanced is by having the Government as partner to cost-share the premiums. This would result in higher enrollment in the program and would put cattle producers on a level-playing field with Canadian crop producers and their American counterparts. Innovation is a key factor to ensuring a strong and vibrant beef Charolais Banner • May 2022

industry. We have the opportunity, and demonstrated ability, to continually improve our productivity and environmental performance, to better protect and preserve our air, water, and soil resources. To help meet our productivity and environmental goals, increases to Government core funding for research are needed. In recent years, trade has been a real success story for our industry. For the sixth straight year, export values of Canadian beef hit record highs reaching almost $5.5 billion in 2021. CCA will continue to focus efforts on securing access for Canadian beef in world markets. In recent years, we have seen improved trade through the implementation of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement, CanadaKorea Free Trade Agreement, and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Partnership (CPTPP), and we strongly support the expansion of free trade. To help grow our export markets, we continue to share our priorities with the Government of Canada when it comes to the current trade negotiations underway with the United Kingdom and the Association of Southeast Asian Countries, as well as the benefit of exploring CPTPP expansion. While we are fortunate to have many free trade agreements that have lowered tariffs on Canadian beef, many non-tariff trade barriers remain – even in markets where agreements are in place. These trade challenges need to be addressed to ensure Canadian beef producers have equal opportunity to benefit from these negotiated agreements as their counterparts. This is the case when it comes to trade with the European Union, and we are continuing to see a growing trade imbalance with Canadian beef producers unable to have the equivalent access into

There were 103 sales reporting in 2022, the same as in 2021. The overall numbers were down 63 5/6 lots (1.7%), average down $68 (1%) and gross dollars down $682,617 (2.7%).

A quick overview shows that of the 93 sales reporting in both 2021 and 2022, 44% of those sales had an increase in overall average. There were 47 sales grossing more than $200,000 and one sale grossing over $1,000,000. There were 20 sales selling more than 50 lots. Mature bulls were up $2,266 in average with 6 less bulls selling in 2022. There were 4 less two-year old bull lots selling in 2022 with the average up $23. 89 of the sales with two-year olds selling had a two-year old average

above $5,000. There were 54 less yearling lots selling in 2022 with the average down $122. 78% of all sales with yearlings selling had a yearling average above $5,000. Bull Sale Chart Notes:

• Statistics are from fall 2021 sales with more than 5 bulls and spring 2022 bull sales. • No U.S. bull sales are included in the chart. • The sales with fall long-yearlings were treated as two-year old bulls.

It is the breeders’ responsibility to submit a sale summary to the Charolais Banner office (by fax, e-mail or phone) to ensure their sale is included in the chart and further statistics. Unless the Charolais Banner office receives a report, no information will be shown for that sale.
