POINTS TO PONDER

From the Field Helge By

This summer Candace and I hosted 12 young adults from 8 countries for 8 days including the CCYA Conference and Show in Brandon, Manitoba, where they were participants and fully engaged in the process and program. There is an article in this issue that explains their take on Canada and our youth program. It was very interesting and again, we all have more Charolais friends from around the world. The opportunities at CCYA are not only for the youth, but also the parents. More friendships and networking and thus trade, have occurred through these relationships than you can imagine. It is a more relaxed atmosphere for the parents to sit and visit to get to know each other, not in the hurried pace of visiting at a show or sale. Seeing how others around the world value our junior program, makes me wonder how many of us take the program for granted instead of utilizing it. It is never too early to start thinking about next summer and there are a number of breeders who are selling heifer calves this fall that will keep them and deliver them to the Conference next summer, if this is

something that interests you and your family members. Speaking of next summer, the Irish Charolais Cattle Society are hosting the World Charolais Technical Conference next summer from August 4th to 12th. They have opened it up, so everyone is welcome to attend not just the voting delegates. A Technical Conference is shorter and contains more seminars and sessions and less tourist stops than a Congress, but is still interesting. It will start in Dublin and include their National show at Tullamore along with some herd tours. If you have a desire to see Ireland this would be a great opportunity. Complete information will be on www.charolaisinternational.com later this fall. If you have any questions give us a call, as we will be attending. Having toured herds on many world tours as a guest and helped tour many internationals here in Canada, there are some definite do’s and don’ts when displaying your operation for a group. It does take some time, but having the top end of the herd somewhat confined works really well if possible. You do not need to show the tour group the whole herd, but a good cross section of pedigrees and bull and heifer calves, if it is a summer tour, is great. If there is a cow or two that are

nervous, leave them out. It only takes one to have the whole group stirred up and makes it less impressive for the guests to have a relaxed viewing. As well, a handout with some pedigrees and information on the operation is always good for them, and provides something they can take with them and somewhere to make notes about what they are seeing. I realize these situations aren’t always possible, but a little thought and effort ahead of time will leave a lot better impression. In this issue, you will also see all the later fall sales that are taking place in Western Canada and will provide some great buying opportunities. The shows are already underway in Eastern Canada and the rest of the shows appear to have good participation from the breeders. The National show in Edmonton has exciting Jackpot Bull Calf and Heifer Calf classes that should be great events. Also in this issue is the calendar of events for all the spring bull sales. If yours is missing or incorrect, please let us know so we can have them correct in the Charolais calendar, if you have requested it to be there. If you haven’t been contacted by a youth member to be a part of the calendar, which is a fundraiser for the continued on page 8

Press Release The Charolais Banner and By Livestock are pleased to announce the addition of Jon and Sarah Wright to the team. They will be relocating to Saskatchewan and Jon will begin November 1. Sarah will begin following her maternity leave. Jon grew up in the purebred cattle industry and is no stranger to the Charolais world, having worked with the Lohues at Coyote Flats Charolais for the past three years. Sarah has met many breeders at the last two CCYA conferences, where Cade and now Jack have participated. She leaves a position with Viterra, in Taber. We welcome their knowledge of cattle, the industry, integrity and enthusiasm to the team.

POINTS À RÉFLÉCHIR

Du Champ Helge By

Candace et moi avons eu la chance d’être une famille hôte pour un total de 12 jeunes adultes de huit différents pays pendant une durée de huit jours. Ces jeunes adultes ont eu la chance de participer à la conférence des jeunes éleveurs (CCYA) qui se tenait à Brandon au Manitoba et se sont engagés dans tous les aspects du programme. Vous trouverez un article dans cette publication qui nous partage ce que ces jeunes ont pensé de notre pays et des autres jeunes Canadiens. Cette expérience fut enrichissante et on aime tous avoir un ami Charolais d’un autre pays. Plusieurs opportunités se présentent aux jeunes éleveurs lors de notre conférence annuelle ainsi qu’à leurs parents. Beaucoup d’amitiés et de connaissances se partagent entre éleveurs, ce qui incite l’expansion du réseau personnel des éleveurs lors de ces conférences où l’atmosphere détendue permet aux parents de s’asseoir et de se regrouper. Le fait que les autres participants des autres pays valorisent notre programme pour les jeunes me fait questionner comment d’entre nous prennent ce programme pour acquis au lieu d’en maximiser les bienfaits. Il est jamais trop tôt pour planifier votre prochain été. Certains éleveurs qui vendront des taures cette automne en garderont jusqu’à la prochaine conférence, livrées sur le site si votre famille désire y participer. En parlant de l’été prochain, la société Irlandaise des éleveurs Charolais seront les hôtes de la conférence technique mondiale

Charolaise du 4 au 12 août 2019. Cette conférence accueillent maintenant tout les personnes intéressés se limitant pas seulement aux délégués avec un droit de vote. Une conférence technique est très intéressante mais de plus courte durée, offre plus de colloques et de séances d’informations et est moins touristique comparée à un congrès international. Le tout débute dans la ville de Dublin et coïncide avec l’exposition nationale de Tullamore et des visites de troupeaux organisées. Si vous désirez visiter l’Irlande, ce congrès est une opportunité parfaite. Tous les détails de ce voyage se retrouve au www.charolaisinternational.com au courant de l’automne. Si vous avez des questions, donnez-nous un coup de fil car nous y serons. J’ai visité plusieurs troupeaux dans plusieurs conférences internationales et j’ai aidé plusieurs hôtes canadiens à recevoir des visiteurs internationaux. Il existe plusieurs choses à faire et d’autres à éviter lorsqu’on reçoit un groupe en visite sur notre ferme. Même si cette étape requiert beaucoup de temps, restreindre un parti de votre troupeau à un certain endroit autour de la ferme aide. Il est pas nécessaire de montrer l’entièreté du troupeau mais plutôt un échantillon de vos lignées incluant des taureaux et de génisses. Laissez vos femelles qui sont plus nerveuses à l’écart. Il faut seulement un sujet qui peu faire embarquer le reste du troupeau en panique et changer l’atmosphère pour vos invités. Un pamphlet qui explique l’historique de vos lignées et qui décrit la gestion de votre entreprise et toujours intéressant. Oubliez pas de laisser un petit espace sur ce pamphlet pour que vos visiteurs puissent

prendre des notes. Je réalise que certaines de ces situations ne sont pas toujours logistiquement possible mais ces petites touches sauront impressionner vos invités. Dans la revue de ce mois, vous retrouvez les informations des ventes élites d’automne pour l’ouest Canadien. Les expositions sont enclenchées pour l’est canadien et il semble avoir une bonne participation de la part des éleveurs. L’exposition National qui se tient à Edmonton offre une classe de taureaux ainsi qu’une classe de génisses ‘Jackpot’. Ces classes promettent. Vous pouvez trouver aussi notre calendrier d’activités dans la revue qui inclue les ventes de taureaux du printemps. Si votre annonce n’est pas parue ou des changements doivent être apportés, laissez-nous le savoir le plus rapidement possible. Si aucun membre des jeunes éleveurs Charolais vous a contacté pour mettre votre annonce dans le calendrier, glissezmoi un mot. Ce calendrier est une grande ressource de financement pour la conférence des jeunes. Nous somme en direction de l’Ontario pour assister à certaines ventes et par la suite vers les maritimes pour compléter un profil d’éleveur. Cela fait plusieurs années que nous avons pas eu la chance de voyager à l’est du Québec pour visiter des troupeaux. Nous avons hâte de voir de nouveaux éleveurs, de nouveaux troupeaux et la campagne. Craig et moi vous offre notre assistance pour aider à hausser la participation lors de vos ventes cette automne. Comme toujours, n’hésitez pas à nous lâchez un coup de fil. À la prochaine, Helge

FROM THE FIELD, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 Youth Association, again please contact us. We are now off to Ontario for sales and the Maritimes to do a breeder profile and tour some of the herds 8

there. We haven’t been east of Quebec for a number of years and look forward to seeing some of the herds, breeders and country side again. If Craig Scott or I can be of any Charolais Banner • October 2018

assistance aiding in your sale participation this fall, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. Until next time, Helge

Mel Reekie, General Manager

This past July, I participated in an educating, trade mission to China with the Canadian Beef Breeds Council. The China Agricultural University – Beef Cattle Research Center invited several of us to represent the Canadian beef cattle industry at the third China’s National Symposium on Applied Techniques and Industry Economics in Beef Production. Canadian delegates included Michael Latimer and Garner Deobald, Canadian Beef Breeds Council; Brian Good, Canadian Angus Association; Bruce Holmquist, Canadian Simmental Association; Stephen Scott and Doug Mann, Canadian Hereford Association; Anne Brunet-Burgess, Canadian Cattle Identification Agency; and myself, Mel Reekie representing your Canadian Charolais Association. Canadian delegates formally presented to a curious crowd of 400+ symposium attendees on various aspects of the Canadian beef industry from production systems, genetic improvement, data collection and traceability to breed associations’ roles in maintaining accurate pedigrees. As they’re eager to learn, presentations were well received with many questions as they look to improve and modernize their practices to feed their ever-growing population of 1.4 Billion. Developing strong relationships is the foundation to doing business with the Chinese. These trade missions that Canada participates in allows us to collaborate on relationships and business providing the opportunity for future endeavours. You can read further about China in the CBBC Report later in this issue. The third annual Canadian Beef Industry Conference (CBIC) presented by five partner organizations – Beef Cattle Research Council, Canada Beef, Canadian Beef Breeds Council, Canadian Cattlemen’s Association and National Cattle Feeders Association - was held in London, Ontario this past August where every facet of our beef industry was in attendance concentrating on the theme, Driving Demand. If you haven’t attended one of these conferences, you should consider attending next year’s CBIC in Charolais Banner • October 2018

Calgary, Alberta. These conferences open and expand your mind and possibilities. CBIC not only houses the opportunity to listen to many speakers on topics such as domestic and foreign trade updates and the latest updates in technology but also the opportunity to network with fellow beef industry stakeholders. Rex Murphy, CBIC’s keynote speaker offered his sarcastic intellect to the crowd, but all jokes aside, his message was loud and clear. Rex had a strong message to share; take pride in what you have accomplished. Together we have accomplished a sophisticated and well-established beef industry recognized around the world, there’s a lot to be proud of. When all groups of the beef industry have the occasion to come together with the common goal of educating and networking, join us and we can continue to take this industry to new heights and build a prosperous future. Weaning Data Deadline – October 31, 2018. Submit your weaning data ASAP to ensure you’re included in the fall EPD Evaluation. As breeders, please contribute your performance data. Performance data is imperative for the maintenance of accurate breed evaluations to ensure positive breed improvements. As well, do you collect chute-side ultrasound data? CCA can utilize chute-side ultrasound records and incorporate the data into our genetic evaluations. Contact Mel at the CCA office for details. Are you or do you know someone involved in agriculture and are registered in a post-secondary education program? Do you or your family use Charolais bulls? The Canadian Charolais Association offers scholarships to those involved with the breed whether it be a purebred breeder, commercial cattlemen or feedlot operator. Submit your completed application to the CCA office by October 31 to be considered for one of three available scholarships totalling $3500; application forms are online at www.charolais.com/association/ scholarships. Accept this as your invitation to join us this November 8 & 9 in Edmonton, continued on page 13

Mission commerciale réussie Mel Reekie, directeur général

En juillet dernier, j’ai participé à une mission d’éducation et de commerce en Chine avec le Conseil canadien des races de bœuf. L’Université agricole de Chine – Centre de recherche sur les bovins de boucherie a invité plusieurs représentants de l’industrie canadienne du bœuf au troisième symposium national de la Chine sur les techniques appliquées et l’économie de l’industrie dans la production de bœuf. Parmi les délégués canadiens, mentionnons Michael Latimer et Garner Deobald du Conseil canadien des races de bœuf; Brian Good de l’Association canadienne Angus; Bruce Holmquist, de l’Association canadienne Simmental; Stephen Scott et Doug Mann de l’Association canadienne Hereford; Anne Brunet-Burgess de l’Agence canadienne d’identification des bovins; et moi-même, Mel Reekie, représentante de votre association canadienne Charolais. Les délégués canadiens ont offert des conférences à une foule curieuse de 400 + de participants au Symposium sur divers aspects de l’industrie canadienne du bœuf, des systèmes de production, de l’amélioration génétique, de la collecte de données et de la traçabilité jusqu’aux rôles des associations de races dans le maintien et l’intégrité des généalogies de nos animaux en reproduction. Comme ils sont désireux d’apprendre, les présentations ont été bien accueillies avec plusieurs questions pertinentes envers leur désire d’améliorer et de moderniser leurs pratiques pour nourrir leur population toujours croissante, maintenant rendue à 1,4 milliard. Développer des relations solides est la base pour faire des affaires avec les chinois. L’occasion de participer à ces missions, nous permettent de collaborer sur les relations et les affaires qui sont en développement. La troisième Conférence annuelle de l’industrie canadienne du bœuf (CBIC) présentée par cinq organismes partenaires – le Conseil de recherches sur les bovins de boucherie, le Bœuf Canadien, le Conseil canadien des races de boucherie, Charolais Banner • October 2018

l’Association canadienne des éleveurs de bétail et l’Association nationale des engraisseurs – s’est tenue à London (Ontario) en août dernier, où toutes les facettes de notre industrie étaient présentes, se concentrant sur le thème, « augmenter la demande ». Si vous n’avez pas assisté à l’une de ces conférences, vous devriez envisager d’y participer l’année prochaine à Calgary, en Alberta. Ces conférences ouvrent et élargissent votre esprit et vos possibilités. CBIC non seulement représente l’occasion d’écouter de nombreux conférenciers sur des sujets tels que les mises à jour du commerce domestique et étranger et les dernières mises à jour de la technologie, mais aussi la possibilité de réseauter avec les autres intervenants de l’industrie du bœuf. Rex Murphy, l’orateur principal de CBIC a offert son intellect sarcastique à la foule, mais toutes les plaisanteries de côté, Rex avait un message fort à partager; « Soyez fiers de ce que vous avez accompli ». Ensemble, nous avons accompli une industrie du bœuf sophistiquée et bien établie reconnue dans le monde entier, il y a beaucoup de choses dont nous pouvons être fiers. Lorsque tous les groupes de l’industrie du bœuf ont l’occasion de se joindre à l’objectif commun d’éduquer et de réseauter, nous pouvons continuer à amener cette industrie à de nouveaux sommets et bâtir un avenir prospère. Date limite de données de sevrage - 31 octobre 2018. Veuillez soumettre vos données de sevrage dès que possible pour assurer votre inclusion dans les évaluations d’EPD d’automne. Les données de performance de nos éleveurs pur-sang sont inestimables et impératives pour le maintien des évaluations précises de la race afin de garantir des améliorations positives. De même, recueillez-vous des données échographiques non-officielles ? L’ACC peut utiliser ces échographies (ultrason) et incorporer les données dans nos évaluations génétiques de carcasse.

CHAROLAIS INTERNATIONAL

Charolais International Youth Program The planning for the first Charolais International Youth Program (CIYP) began at the World Charolais Technical Conference in Mexico. Helge and Candace By were brainstorming for worthwhile activities for Charolais International to promote and thought this made sense and fit the organization’s mandate. It was presented as a way to promote Charolais worldwide by gathering youth in one place at one time for education and leadership opportunities. It would serve as a way of introducing the benefits of international travel to gain interest in the organization’s other events. It would assist countries without youth programs by providing an example and support. This is how it was presented at the AGM and it was unanimously accepted by the delegates in 2017. The Charolais Banner offered to be the first host in Canada in conjunction with the CCYA 2018 Conference and Show. The interest in the program far surpassed

expectations and the success obvious. Twelve young adults attended from eight countries. Each was required to be a full participant in the event, but would not be awarded prizes. This decision was made to honour the host country and its youth, who have worked hard to learn and improve each year. The opportunity for the international participants was more than enough of an honour. It would also be very difficult to offer them a fair competition when language was a barrier at times. Although they all spoke English well, sometimes the English cattle terminology was not within their grasp when they needed it. The differences in the way cattle are judged between countries would also make it difficult for participants to excel when they come from places that select differently. The last thing this program wants is to discourage anyone or push their selection criteria on the participants so they are more competitive. The international participants attending that were over CCYA

Patrik Gustafsson, Sweden It was great to see a show in Canada and see CCYA and how it works. It was also good to see the environment at the show as everyone was so helpful and welcoming. The seniors asked questions about our country and were more than willing to answer our questions. It was a little difficult being over-age, as we didn’t experience everything and Kirstin was very busy. The day we spent with her, I learned a lot about how to run the event and what is involved. I will take back

some ideas for extra competitions. I like that you teach the kids to be good marketers, to sell, to judge and how to speak about cattle, not just how to show. This experience was much better than I expected. Dirgis Jõemaa, Estonia I liked everything about this week, it was so much fun. I met so many new people and they were so kind and friendly. They helped me a lot with my language. I have never seen a show like this before. Canada is very different from Estonia - your weather and your Charolais Banner • October 2018

trucks are very different. I will share how important these shows are to teach young people how to work with cows and handle them. I learned how to lead an animal. It was better than I expected, it was awesome. I will keep in touch with friends I have made because they are such great people. It was a good opportunity. I want to come back again. Emil Mårtinsson, Sweden I learned so many things this week. I would have liked to know where the internationals ranked in the competitions. You 15

like to see Team Judging and Team Grooming implemented in Australia. I thought it might be bigger, but there was a high quality of cattle for the number of entrants, so that was really good. Marko Kruusimägi, Estonia Team grooming and showmanship were totally new experiences for me and it was excellent to try them. I hope that we can start with some of these ideas in Estonia and grow.

It is similar yet so different than what we have in the States. The seniors are always interacting with the juniors and pee wees. There is never a disconnect between ages, even at the dance, everyone was still having fun together. I loved the farm visits and wish we could have done a couple more of them.

We have a strong youth program which we should never take for granted. The kids that come to CCYA participate and love what they are doing. In the end, it doesn’t matter if they won or lost, they had an amazing time and learned so much. They are going to come back next year and learn even more. They are going to go from being the pee wee or junior to the senior and that is a super awesome opportunity. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity.

I would have liked to know how we ranked with the Canadians, not for prizes, just to see how we did. There is a big market in Ireland for the way you are breeding Charolais – low birth weight, high growth rates, easier calving with large frames. Your youth show is really different from ours. It is really done professionally and everyone helps each other, which is the way it should be so everyone benefits. I came with no expectations, but it was really exceptional, the cattle were better than I thought they would be. I would like to thank you (Helge and Candace) for being so good to us.

INDUSTRY NEWS

Canadian Beef Breeds Council Report Michael Latimer, CBBC Executive Director

China has been identified as a key market for beef and other agricultural products. With a population of 1.4 Billion, there are a significant number of people to feed and with a growing middle class there is rising demand for beef and other animal-based proteins. China is behind only Brazil and India with the third largest cattle population in the world with over 96 Million head (USDA, 2018). However, the native breeds of beef cattle in China, which make up the majority of the herd are low yielding and inefficient and are not well suited for modern beef farming or providing the level of quality demanded by the new middle-class consumer. China has indicated they would like to improve the productivity of their beef cattle, which includes the utilization of North American type British and Continental breeds, particularly in the

north eastern section of China, where the climate is somewhat cooler. This represents an incredible opportunity for Canada to provide beef cattle genetics and beef products that directly add dollars into our production system. A delegation representing the Canadian beef industry was invited to Beijing China to present at the third National Symposium on Applied Techniques and Industry Economics in Beef Production from July 27-29, 2018. There were representatives from CBBC, Canadian Hereford, Canadian Charolais, Canadian Angus, Canadian Simmental, Canadian Cattle Identification Agency, Agriculture Canada and Livestock Marketers Association of Canada. The invitation came at the request of the China Agriculture University – Beef Cattle Research Center, which we had signed an MOU in 2016 while on a trade mission to China with Canadian

Minister of Agriculture Lawrence MacAulay. The presentations were assigned by our hosts and focused on various aspects of beef cattle production in Canada. The value of relationships in China can’t be overstated and is something we have worked very hard on. It is a foundation of their culture and as such, we were shown exceptional hospitality and shown aspects of China that many foreigners will never experience. It is our position that through collaboration with China and by sharing common information and production techniques, Canada will be in a better position to export beef cattle genetics, farm equipment and more. It was also an opportunity to learn about the Chinese culture, the beef cattle production system and other challenges they face, in order for us to better understand and provide production information that is relevant to them.

HERD HEALTH

How and When to Change Vaccine Lines Roy Lewis DVM

There are many difficult decisions to be made when changing the brand or manufacturer of a vaccine line. Hopefully, this article will clarify how to go about the decision and avoid any gaps or overlaps that could develop if the right combinations are not chosen. The real comparisons can be made when you know what specific diseases you need to vaccinate for in your herd, whether you use a modified live, killed or combined program and how efficacious (effective) you think your program was originally. This will help you and your herd veterinarian determine where to come in with different products. This is all assuming the previous vaccines were purchased, stored, handled administered properly and timely in the past to all necessary cattle in your herd. If you do purchase your vaccination supplies from your herd health veterinarian and they are changing lines, it could be for several reasons, only one of which might be the efficacy of the product. Other reasons are availability (backorders), cost, dosage formulation, number of doses per bottle and even service provided by the pharmaceutical company. I have known clinics changing trade names simply based on route of administration. If two vaccines are equal and one is approved to give subcutaneously that may be a more desirable route and supports “Beef Quality Assurance or Verified Beef Production.” Sometimes newer products may have a broader range of bacteria or viruses it protects against making them more desirable and vaccines that provide greater protection in fewer shots may be more desirable as well. More shots simply mean more labor and stress (another 28

needle poke) on the calves. The intranasal route eliminates the needle and may have quicker protection, but may have a shorter duration. These are all decisions you and your veterinarian need to make. Companies in the manufacture of vaccines are striving for broader protection, protecting for a longer period of time and minimizing the dosage or number of CC given. The vast majority of vaccines are now 2cc. Vaccines requiring 4cc or 5cc create more labor to give it and guns have to be filled more frequently, etc. If changing vaccine lines double and triple check the dosage necessary. Knowing which vaccines do what requires essentially reading the fine print and you will find most pharmaceutical companies have pretty good spread sheets indicating which vaccines protect against which diseases. We must pay close attention, as vaccines can be very close in protection yet one organism’s protection may be missing. This is where it best to consult with your veterinarian in case there are any differences in coverage. With purebreds especially maximum protection is what we are after. We all know that treating for any disease is second best to preventing it. Once one has determined that all the diseases are the same then there is the question of whether you can carry on boosting the same way you have in the past. Just because you have changed vaccines does not necessarily mean you need to start a vaccine program all over again. In fact the opposite is the case. Vaccines in general stimulate the body to produce antibodies or protection against that specific disease. If you then come in with a different vaccine as long as immunity is there and the diseases are the same in the new vaccine, it should booster the previous vaccine response. Charolais Banner • October 2018

This is much the same principal as if a natural say viral infection came through it would essentially stimulate the immune system the same way. You need to follow label directions and if the previous vaccination program has worked well and you trust the protection it is giving, then boostering with a comparable product should work fine. My only caution is if killed vaccines were previously given that boostering was done at the recommended label and then modified live vaccines or different killed products can be followed up with. My personal preference is using modified live vaccines for the longer duration of immunity but some vaccines such as the footrot vaccine used primarily in breeding bulls only come as a killed product. Starting over anew may be recommended in several instances such as the acquisition of new stock with a sketchy vaccination history or if a year has been missed meaning now it is two years between vaccinations. If potentially vaccinations were missed, such as escaping from the chute, dosage was not calculated or automatic syringes were not working properly: all these and other reasons I have missed, may be justification to starting the vaccination program all over again. If an additional organism (virus or bacteria) has been added into the program it is highly likely it will need to be boostered the first time. I will use scour vaccination as a teaching example. Pretty much the vast majority of cattle both commercial and purebred are vaccinated for scours. If we can just prevent the first case, so it doesn’t spread. Even if calves are treated with oral or IV fluids we all know they are significantly behind at weaning. A new scours vaccine has now come on continued on page 30

Charolais Banner â&#x20AC;˘ October 2018

HERD HEALTH, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 28 the market giving you a choice of scour bos, scour guard, or the newest kid on the block, Bovilus Guardian. If changing vaccines, they are all pretty similar and the subtle differences can be explained by your veterinarian. The biggest difference is the recommended time to give them before calving for maximum protection which is where one of the decisions is made on which one to adopt. The dosage is the same for each vaccine, but the newest one, Guardian is approved to give subcutaneously (SC) so that is where another decision might get made. Other reasons such as if a vaccine line causes more lumps, seems to “stress” the cattle, or is hard to administer (thick), high dosage, or is more prone to causing allergic reactions are several other less common reasons why vaccine lines are changed. Larger veterinary clinics often carry a main line and a secondary line of vaccines because the combinations are different or in the

case of scours producers vaccinate at different times before calving so different vaccine lines may need to be covered to fit the bill for your individual farm. Two lines of vaccines also guard against backorder situations which have hit most pharma companies over the years. In order to fine tune the herd health on your farm, niche vaccines may be used depending on the circumstances, past history and disease diagnosis. A good example here might be footrot vaccines for breeding bulls, pinkeye vaccines if there has been issues in the past, or anthrax vaccine if that has been present in the area. There are major geographical differences in some diseases such as leptospirosis or redwater across this country which is why fellow breeders and the local veterinarian know what is necessary. The bottom-line is if you are changing vaccines and your previous one gave protection and all the antigens (organisms) are the same, you should be protected with using

the new vaccine. If new protection has been added it may need to be boostered but these are all good questions to pose to your veterinarian so gaps are not created in the new vaccination program. As we all know, vaccination is commonplace and it is far better to prevent disease than treat it. It also allows more savings in cost of using antimicrobials as well as sparing usage does not allow antimicrobial resistance to build up as quickly. All good reasons to work with your veterinarian yearly on the most updated, least stressful most comprehensive and efficacious vaccination program necessary for your particular farm and management style. Pharmaceutical companies will continue to improve vaccines making them more efficacious, broad spectrum and less reactive, coupled with in some cases easier means of administration (Intranasal or oral). The future looks promising to use vaccinations to improve the health of our cattle herds, reduce disease and subsequent antimicrobial usage.

CBBC, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26 note that China is very diverse within its borders. Each city and region are very different in the language, culture, climate and the food varieties. For example, the food in the north is more noodle based where the further south you travel, the more rice becomes the base and the spice level increases. With this diversity, there is demand for a variety of beef products and quality levels. There is an opportunity for beef that is ultra-high marbled such as Kobe Wagyu, to Canada AAA, and also leaner less marbled beef. China will also utilize the carcass by consuming a number of cuts and pieces that are considered undesirable and of low value in Canada. Traditionally beef is sliced thin and in a form of stir-fry, but the Chinese recognize the texture and flavour differences and still prefer a higher quality beef.

OBITUARY

Donald Paul Pochylko 1938 – 2018

Don was born and raised in the Stettler district and spent the earlier part of his life growing up on his father’s farm. They had a herd of cows that consisted of just about everything. They also bought and finished a number of steers throughout the year. That turned out to be very valuable experience in the operation later. In 1953, his Dad and oldest brother Bill bought the Stettler Billiards business in Stettler, so until 1958 he spent most of his time in the pool hall learning the art of playing pool. In 1958, he went into partnership with brother Andy on the farm. They slowly dispersed the cow herd and went into the feedlot business. In 1960, he married Sandra and being good friends of the Rouses, they were gradually convinced to believe in a white breed of cattle called Charolais. In 1961, after visiting a few herds, they purchased their first Charolais cows. In 1962 and 1963 they visited several big herds in the US, becoming more enthused all the time. They built their herd, SanDan Charolais Farms Ltd., but culled very hard as their small land base was limiting. They

couldn’t have many, so they decided they had to have the best. Don imported numerous Charolais from France starting with a bull and two females in 1966. He worked hard to learn about genetics, confirmation and everything about the business. The first bull he imported was Aiglon and was a big influence in the program, followed by the bull Cabotin in 1968. Everywhere he went and from everyone he met, he asked questions to learn. In 1967, Don bought two red factor females from the Michaelis Ranch in Texas. It took until 1986 for the Red Factor to become established in Canada, but many of the original red factor bloodlines went back to these cows. Don was the first to syndicate a bull in the Charolais business. Poker King Jr was the bull and was a big move away from the Full French at the time. He was the only Canadian bull to be Grand Champion at Denver two years in a row. The San Dan Charolais show string was visible and very competitive across Canada and the U.S. They sold cattle to 28 States, six provinces and New Zealand. He enthused many people into the Charolais industry and was willing to help others. Don was also a great marketer and from their first

production sale in 1974, it was the sale to attend. Always right after Agribition, it attracted a huge crowd and anyone who was anyone wanted to be there and buy one. He served on the Canadian and Alberta Charolais Associations as a director. He was awarded the Canadian Charolais Association Honour Roll in 2003, the highest honour available in the breed. After dispersing the SanDan herd in 1985, Don became focused on SDC Consulting. He moved to Red Deer and Brian Marin became his partner. They managed many of the top sales and started the Red Bonanza sale that was the highlight of the red industry for many years. Later he started a catering business geared towards serving meals before livestock events. Previously, he had also been involved in the building and operating of the Town Pump and Restaurant with Don Peters. Don started working at Andy’s Truck Sales, he was always busy and always working. Don made a huge impact on the cattle business and the family and friends who knew him well. Don is survived by his sons: Daniel (Kim) Pochylko of Red Deer and Duane continued on page 50

2018 Conference Offered New Opportunities Shelby Evans, President

This year’s annual Canadian Charolais Youth Association Conference and Show was definitely one for the books! The show was held in Brandon, Manitoba, from August 25 th to 28 th with 71 Charolais youth in attendance from all across Canada, as well as around the world. CCYA was honoured to host the very first Charolais International Youth Program, where we welcomed 12 International senior members from Sweden, Estonia, Ireland, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, Czech, and the United States. These members competed in their own category in all of our regular CCYA events such as grooming, keep and cull, team CCYA NATIONAL BOARD charolaisyouth@gmail.com President: Shelby Evans sle379@mail.usask.ca Vice-President: Keegan Blehm keegb34@yahoo.ca Treasurer: Tyson Black blackbern@hotmail.com

Once again, the quality of cattle exhibited at CCYA was second to none and the enthusiasm and willingness to learn from our youth members was something the Charolais breed should be very proud of.

parts on the cow”, learned about different types of feed as well as practiced their grooming skills. Another new event this year was the steak cook-off. Each herdsman group designed, cooked and presented a steak-based meal to a team of judges, which saw some stiff competition and exciting team costumes. As always, the CCYA show and conference was a summer highlight and I’m sure many members are already looking forward to the 2019 conference in Weyburn, Saskatchewan next summer!

NEWS

Retzlaff Named to CYL Program The Cattlemen’s Young Leaders (CYL) program, a national youth initiative of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA), announced Leonard Retzlaff, Saddleridge Land & Cattle Co., Rosemary, Alberta, as one of the 16 finalists for the 2018/19 CYL term. The 2018 Canadian Beef Industry Conference (CBIC) once again proved an excellent setting for the selection of the newest crop of CYL participants. On August 14, with hopes of being named a 2018/19 CYL Finalist, 24 young beef enthusiasts from across Canada gathered at the London Convention Centre, London, Ontario

to showcase their knowledge of and passion for the Canadian beef industry. CYL program Foundation Partners UFA, Cargill, McDonald’s Canada, MNP, and Zoetis, hosted roundtable discussions focusing on specific themes and thought-provoking questions designed to elicit responses enabling judges to evaluate each candidate. Representatives from Gold Sponsors Farm Credit Canada and New Holland were also present at the event, acting as roving judges. For the eighth year in a row, the CYL semi-finalists impressed the judges and facilitators with their knowledge, passion and dedication for the industry. CYL semi-finalists also had the opportunity to be presented to the 500

delegates of the CBIC during the opening reception. Prior to the 2018 graduation ceremony, the group took to the stage for acknowledgment. After careful deliberation, the judges and facilitators compiled the list of the finalists for the upcoming CYL term. Each finalist will be awarded a $2,000 travel budget and a once-in-a-lifetime tailored mentorship opportunity. The CCA looks forward to following these outstanding young people as they experience personal and professional growth throughout their mentorship in the coming months. CYL’s continue to impress the Canadian beef industry and this year promises to be no exception.
