SECRETARY-TREASURER REPORT BY SARAH HORDOS
Happy New Year!
What a busy fall it has been! We seen some exceptional female production sales across Saskatchewan in October and many Herefords found success along the fall show run since our last issue.
The Hereford show at Agribition overall had a strong turnout. Judge Lance Leachman did an excellent job sorting the cattle. The CWA Grand Champion Female, Haroldson’s Marvel 7437 ET 39K exhibited by Haroldson’s Polled Herefords and River Valley Polled Herefords and Grand Champion Bull CCD Kingsman 3K ET exhibited by MJT Cattle Co. found themselves standing in the Top 10 of the CN Beef Supreme to close the week on Saturday. Congratulations to all involved!
The Saskatchewan Hereford Association hosted our annual Red Coat Raffle fundraiser this year at Canadian Western Agribition with a $5000 Grand Prize Sale Credit to be used at any Hereford sale in Canada in the coming year. 20 Hereford Breeders across the country also generously donated secondary $1000 sale credits to the raffle. Close to $11,000 worth of tickets were sold with Wally Pugh being the Grand Prize winner. The SHA would like to thank all of those who donated sale credits and bought tickets supporting the raffle. Funds raised will go towards our Scholarship program and some new initiatives in the works to be announced in 2025.
Our Red Coat Reception has turned into a can’t miss event during CWA. We hosted 195 people at the Atlas Hotel on Wednesday November 27 for a burger bar supper and drinks. The National Select sale was a new addition to the event this year and the SHA is proud to have raised $20,000 to go directly to supporting
the World Hereford Conference Junior Teams that will represent Canada at the event next October. This travel opportunity is such a great one for youth to not only expand their knowledge, but experience the Hereford breed at an international level, and grow their network. Applications are open now, and the SHA is looking forward to hearing who the successful applicants are.
I want to personally thank all the breeders who stepped up to donate lots, as well as all of those who supported the sale buy bidding and purchasing. The ballroom was full and lots of networking and fun was had by all. We would like to thank our meal and silent auction sponsors that helped us get the event rolling, as well as the Atlas Hotel for being excellent hosts and providing a great meal. At the event we presented Michelle Weber prints to both retiring CHA board member Howard Crittenden and our CWA Barn Boss Bonnie Thompson to recognize 10 years of volunteer service.
The SHA is looking forward to 2025 and has many new things being discussed in the background to bring forward to our members. The next deadline will be our new scholarship program which will be due this coming spring- details and application forms can be found on our website
As always stay in the know with the SHA on Facebook and our website, skhereford.com,
Until next time,
Sarah Hordos Secretary-Treasurer Saskatchewan Hereford Board of Directors

SJHA PROFILE CHLOE WAGNER
Consul, SK.
Q: Introduce yourself! What is your name, and age and a little about yourself.
A: My name is Chloe Wagner and I live at Consul in the very southwest corner of the province — almost in Alberta and almost in the USA! I am turning 10 years old in February and in Grade 4. My family has a few purebred Hereford cows and the majority of the herd are commercial Hereford cows crossed with Charolais.
Q: How many years have you been apart of the SJHA?
A: My mom purchased me my first bred heifer when I was only 1 year old to start my herd so I have been a SJHA member since then. I still have that original cow purchased from ANL!
Q: Are you in 4-H? What club are you apart of?
A: Yes, I am a member of the Maple Creek 4-H Beef Club. This is my fourth year as a member of this club. I will be showing a steer, yearling heifer and hopefully my two year old cow/calf pair if everything goes as planned at calving time.
Q: What is your favourite thing about showing cattle?
A: Being able to show off my cattle and spending time with my animals. I also like to spend time with my friends at the shows too.
Q: Looking back, what is a memorable moment you have from a Hereford event or from showing a Hereford animal that stands out to you?
A: This past summer was pretty successful for me so I have 2 memorable moments. The first was winning Champion Pee Wee Showman and Pee Wee Grand Aggregate at Bonanza 2024 in Brandon and then winning Grand Champion Female with my own cow/calf pair at the Jr. Stockman’s show in Swift Current held at the end of September.
Q: What do you like to do in your free time? Do you have any hobbies or interests?
A: I like to work on my animals after school in my spare time. I also play hockey and am going to give curling a try this winter as well.
SJHA PROFILE
CHLOE WAGNER
Consul, SK.
Q: What is your favourite thing about Hereford cattle? What do you think more people should know about the Hereford breed?
A: My favorite thing about Herefords is that they are quiet and not wild like Black Angus. They also taste very good when you butcher them.
Q: Who is someone in the breed you look up to? What about them is inspiring to you?
A: I look up to Chad Wilson because I would like to be able to breed as good of cattle as he does. I have purchased my last 2 show heifers from him and am hoping they will help me reach my goals in the future.
Q: Do you have any exciting goals or plans for 2025 Show season?
A: My biggest goal is to win Supreme Champion at a show so I am working towards that. Also, I would like to win 9 belt buckles in one year to beat this year’s total of 8 buckles.
Q: You were our lucky $5000 credit winner in our 2023 Red Coat Raffle. Tell us about what that has done for your herd and what you chose to purchase with your winnings, and why?
A: I used some of the credit to purchase a yearling bull from Remitall West with my mom and grandpa as a walking sire for our purebred herd. I apply to the semen donation project each year but will use Viper 132L as a walking bull after AI and for any females I don’t receive semen for. I also used some of the money towards buying my newest show heifer from Haroldson’s Polled Herefords in their fall sale. She will be my 4-H heifer for the upcoming year and I have already had her to one show where my team won Reserve Jr. Team Grooming with her!
Considerations for Winter Mineral Supplementation
By Alexis DeCorby, PAg, Livestock and Feed Extension Specialist, Yorkton January 2024
One way to ensure mineral consumption is to mix it into a total mixed ration, or grain.
Mineral supplementation is an important consideration in any winter-feeding program. Mineral status can impact calf growth and development, decrease calving difficulties, prevent herd health issues and ensure that cattle rebreed in a timely manner come spring. It can be difficult to determine which mineral and formulation are best suited to meet the needs of your operation. There are many pros and cons to different mineral options, and a few key considerations to help you determine which mineral is most appropriate for your herd. These include how you feed, what you feed and labour availability on your operation.
Determining the Right Formulation for Your Herd
There are three common mineral formulations for beef cattle. These are 1:1 2:1 and 3:1 blends. These numbers represent the ratio of calcium to phosphorus in the blend. Calcium and phosphorus play an important role in bone development and strength, movement and milk production. The calcium to phosphorus ratio in a diet should be 1.5:1 to 7:1. If this ratio is outside these values, calcium may not be absorbed correctly, resulting in calcium and phosphorus being pulled out of bone stores. This commonly results in what is known as milk fever. Ensuring your ratio is correct will reduce the risk for milk fever and other related issues. Selecting the right ratio will depend largely on the type of feed, as referenced below.
A 1:1 blend indicates that there are equal parts of calcium and phosphorus in the blend. A 2:1 blend indicates that there are two parts of calcium for every one part of phosphorus. Similarly, a 3:1 blend has three parts of calcium and one part of phosphorus. The formulation that is best suited for your herd depends on the feedstuffs used.
Below are some general guidelines. 1:1
Blends - Best suited for rations with high amounts of alfalfa or other legume forages
Blends - Best suited for rations with grass hay, greenfeed, straw or cereal silage 3:1
Blends -Best suited for corn grazing/corn silage or high grain diets. Once you have picked a formulation, it is time to consider the “extras” in mineral supplementation. Feed and water testing are great ways to refine your options and may help you make a more informed decision between a few mineral blends.
“The Extras”
Determining the ratio of calcium to phosphorus required for your mineral is a good starting point, but there are other aspects to consider. If you know that you have high levels of potassium in your feed, you may want to look for a mineral that is lower in potassium. Similarly, high levels of sodium in your feed or water may indicate that a salt-free mineral is best suited for your needs. Water testing may also help identify high sulphur or iron, both of which tie up copper and make it unavailable. Copper is important for both reproduction and ensuring cows clean properly post-calving. If you do have high sulphate or iron in your water, it may be a good idea to look for a chelated mineral.
Organic (Chelated) vs Inorganic Minerals
When it comes to mineral supplementation, one of the top questions is, “What is a chelated mineral, and do I need it?” Organic, or chelated minerals, are attached to an amino acid. Comparatively, inorganic minerals are attached to a sulphate, chloride or oxide compound. Inorganic minerals are more common, typically more affordable and are usually sufficient to meet requirements. Chelated minerals are best suited for high stress situations, or when other factors impact the absorption of supplemented minerals (such as higher levels of sulphate in the diet). If you’re not sure that you need a chelated mineral, a livestock and feed extension specialist or nutritionist can help you make that decision based on your herd’s situation.
Mineral Delivery Methods
One final consideration when picking out a mineral is how it will be fed. Will it be loose, free choice? Mixed into a total mixed ration or grain? Via a lick tub? Each of these methods has pros and cons, some of which are detailed in the table.
Loose Mineral Free Choice
Pros Cons
• Cost effective
• Many formulations to choose from
Mixed with Grain/TMR
Mineral Tub
• Can ensure intake
• Can provide medication (monensin sodium) in blends
• Can promote intake with molasses
• Typically requires less frequent management
• Can be susceptible to weather damage if stored incorrectly
• No guarantee of consumption
• Need to be precise with mixing ratio to avoid over/ underconsumption
• Usually more costly to meet requirements
• Typically requires a larger intake to meet requirements compared to loose mineral
Determining which mineral and delivery method are suited for your herd requires a time investment. However, this investment can pay dividends when it comes to disease status, post-calving outcomes, reproductive success and, ultimately, the profitability of your operation.

CANADIAN HEREFORD ASSOCIATIONReport
The new year is off to a roaring start in the cattle industry with prices remaining high and exceeding what we saw in 2024. With cattle numbers across North America low and consumer demand remaining high the trend is anticipated to continue. With the renewed optimism for the beef sector, we can start the discussion on the rebuilding of the national cow herd with quality Hereford genetics.
The CHA is gearing up to send several of our most talented youth to compete in the Young Producers Competition at the World Hereford Conference in Kansas City this October. We also anticipate a big delegation of Canadian producers who will be cheering on our youth and taking advantage of networking opportunities with Hereford breeders from around the world. We want to thank sponsors, buyers, and those who contributed to make the National Select fundraiser sale at Agribition a success. Proceeds from that sale will go to supporting our youth at the WHC. More information is available on the American Hereford website regarding the event.
As of January 1, 2025 there are several changes that will take effect regarding our genetic services. Neogen will store submitted DNA (hair/ TSU) for one year and then return those samples to the CHA who will continue to store them for a limited time. We are encouraging breeders to maintain an on-farm storage system for animal DNA. Hair samples should be stored in a paper envelope and clearly labelled with relevant animal identification information, in a dry cool space. There are additional benefits to storing on-farm as we have been able to resolve multiple parentage issues in the past year in cases
where breeders had hair stored on-farm. There are changes on pricing where samples submitted by hair, will be assessed an additional fee, which will be passed on to the breeder. To avoid this additional fee, we are recommending that DNA samples are submitted using the Allflex TSU which will avoid this fee and be placed in the ‘fast lane’ at Neogen. The TSU applicators and testing units can be purchased directly from Neogen. The anticipated cost of the hair charge will be more than the cost of a TSU. There will also be charges applied to retrieving previously submitted DNA samples if they are stored at Neogen or if they are stored at the CHA, so we are encouraging breeders to submit new samples to the Neogen office in Edmonton, when possible, to avoid these charges. More information will be available on the CHA website as it comes available or by contacting any of the CHA Member Service Team.
Early in 2025, the CHA will be launching Hereford X, the new on-farm herd management program. Pricing and features will be available on the CHA website, but feel free to call the office for more information or to get signed up. This is the first phase of a revamped registry and data collection process for the CHA as we move the Hereford breed forward by providing new digital tools for breeders as a critical component of the Better Your Beef Strategy.
This year Bonanza will be held in Olds, AB from July 22-26, 2025. The CHA will be holding their Annual General Meeting the evening of July 25 and welcome all our members to attend. There will be updates on new Hereford initiatives and a status report on the Better Your Beef Strategy.

taking care of business and children: accessing child care for ranch families
regular daycare is not alWays feasible for producers, but these parents have found options that Work for them by tara mulhern davidson

Most agree that growing up on a farm or ranch contributes to a wonderful childhood. The practical life lessons that children gain from being raised around livestock can provide a sense of responsibility, respect for risk, a solid work ethic, and an appreciation for where food comes from and the circle of life.
However, the logistics of raising kids while running a cattle business can be daunting.
“As a business owner, a farmer, there is no mat leave,” says Amy Hill, a mixed farmer located in Cooks Brook, N.S. Hill, who is the primary day-to-day operator on her first-generation farm, has tried various child care solutions for her kids who are now nine and almost five years old.
Hill says in her experience there is a fine balance between the cost of child care and running a productive and profitable business. “When (our kids) were under five, I had to be less productive or spend money which meant the farm took in less.”
Farm and ranch child care can be complicated. There are busy seasons when parents need to be out at odd hours, ranches are often in remote or rural locations, and there are fewer daycare spaces or daycare providers to draw from. Many beef producers also have off-farm jobs that can further strain child care needs.
What works for one family and situation will not necessarily work for another. What works for a family for a few months, may not work forever. However, cattle producers are resilient and many have found unique solutions to a universal problem.
When daycare is a chore
Concerning regulated daycare facilities, many producers experience a lack of availability. Or, strict operating hours or locations may not suit their particular situation.
Jacquelyn Wolf, an Alberta rancher and nurse, says a subsidized child care facility can be tough to get into, especially if you have multiple kids. “Our options were for me to take kids to town with me 40 minutes away or go private and only travel 15 minutes.”
They opted to put their two young kids into a nearby private day home. While this option is more expensive, the benefits outweigh the costs.
“There are fewer kids, (our provider) feeds them lunch and she is super flexible for us,” Wolf says.
“If we had gone with the town option, we most likely wouldn’t send kids on the days that I don’t work, which would limit me from participating in farming activities.”
Because Wolf and her husband, Garrett, are the sole operators on their farm, the operation relies on her active involvement and the day home facilitates her ranch work. “If Garrett is working off the farm, I’m the one who does chores which are possible with both kids but definitely a lot harder.”
Hill’s peak busy seasons on her Maritime farm are spring and summer. For her, full-time daycare was not feasible. During COVID, she hired a student through a government summer student program to provide in-home child care. She emphasizes that it was a one-time special circumstance, and it took a lot of advocating on her part to justify her need.
“The best thing is for farmers to be able to do the work in the safest way possible and most productive way possible,” Hill says. With COVID restrictions, that year she estimates it would have taken two or three student employees to cover her farm responsibilities whereas she was able to hire one student to watch her kids so she could get out and do the work.
along for the ride
Ricky Seelhof ranches with her husband, Chad, and their three teenage children in the interior of British Columbia. Now that her kids are older, Seelhof looks back at her years of raising their babies and raising cattle with fondness.
“We didn’t really do anything innovative,” she says, but adds they were keen to incorporate their kids in daily ranch work. “You kind of have to figure it out.
“We always had a Ranger so they’d be in their car seats with us,” Seelhof recalls. On days when it wasn’t feasible to juggle parenting with working outside, especially in extreme cold, they switched gears and Chad did the work solo.
She says there were moments while parenting young kids that made her question some of their choices but ultimately, she feels her children benefited from their ranch upbringing.
“When you’re a little more remote and isolated in a sense, there are days you do feel like it can be a lonely life. You think, ‘Are we doing the right thing?’
“In the long run, they are so mature because of it.” Seelhof adds ranch kids gain a lot of real-life experiences and develop valuable problemsolving skills. “Life isn’t easy or handed to you. You kind of have to deal with stuff,” she says, of her kids’ ability to persevere.
“As ranch kids, they hear it all. They are there day-to-day, whereas parents who go work at their job, they leave their job at work and come home,” she says. On a ranch, this is both their work and their life, she adds.
Amy Hill, who is the primary operator on her Nova Scotia mixed farm, carried her baby with her to get chores done. She has also employed summer students and au pairs to help her manage the demands of farm work and childcare.

Now that their family is growing up and their oldest has graduated and moved away, Seelhof has new considerations for integrating their children on the ranch. “When my kids were little, I didn’t think about what would happen as they got older,” she says. “Now that they are older, what is your next step, and how does that look business-wise?”
another pair of hands
Alberta rancher Justin Hozack says his family has had a child care provider come into their home five days a week. “It has been a game changer,” says Hozack, who appreciates being able to bring his young kids along for ranch work but has the option to drop them off if it’s too long of a day or they otherwise need a break.
Aimée Ferré Stang and her husband, Sheldon, tried many child care options on their west central Saskatchewan farm before sourcing seasonal au pairs from France to look after their young sons.
“Overall, it was a good experience,” says Ferré Stang, who hired two different employees over two different summers.
Ferré Stang, who is bilingual, found an added benefit of providing her kids with more exposure to the French language.
Hill also hired an au pair for two years on her Nova Scotia farm. “It’s a beautiful thing if you can get someone in,” Hill says. However, she admits it is expensive.
“We found it necessary and worth it for us,” says Hill, but adds that when your profit margin is small, it may not be feasible to spend that much on child care. Ferré Stang agrees many people don’t consider au pairs because there are cheaper daycare options.
Ferré Stang cautions that it takes time and effort to find the right person but their family had good experiences both times. She followed a coworker’s recommendation to find a match through aupairworld.com and also used a government program called International Experience Canada for placement. Both required paperwork and fees.
“It took about six months to get them here,” Ferré Stang says. It’s important to clearly outline expectations and foster a connection, says Ferré Stang. “They need to understand that this is a commitment. It’s not going to be totally easy.”
Once she hired her placements, Ferré Stang built a connection and conveyed enthusiasm before they arrived. “I would message pictures of scenery from around here, build a bridge. That was important.”
She adds that you may need to provide support or mentorship to deal with challenges such as homesickness. “If they are having a hard day, they need someone to lean on.”
Ferré Stang conducted a few video interviews including calls to meet the kids. “Make sure that you have someone you have a good feeling about too. Instincts have a lot to do with it,” she says. “Both girls met the kids (through video calls) and I gauged their reactions.”
Ferré Stang has a finished basement with privacy for the au pair’s accommodations. It did take a bit of getting used to having someone else living in their home, she says, but it was also nice to have another adult around.
Regardless of the farm and family situation, raising kids and finding child care solutions in a rural setting requires patience, persistence and money. There are some compromises, but when a solution comes together, the payoff for most families is well worth it.
“When you’re in the thick of it, it’s difficult,” says Hill. “When I look back and see, I’m so glad my kids grew up this way.”
other childcare ideas from farm and ranch families
Accessing daycare can be a challenge but some communities address the need head-on. Janine Paly, an Alberta farmer and agrologist in the County of Thorhild, explained how her community rallied to develop a new daycare within their school.
“The local municipal government provided support with a startup loan,” she says. The Co-op store provides a donation that the daycare uses to purchase snacks.
“The daycare is open from 6:30 a.m. to 5:45 p.m.,” Paly says, which helps provide a greater range of dropoff and pickup times. For families with medically complicated children, this puts additional pressure on rural child care needs, as one ranch parent explained.
“I put blinders on when I paid for the private day home because I needed a little normalcy,” explained one parent. Travelling for quality — but expensive — care was a worthwhile tradeoff that allowed them to do things to support their ranch, gave them time to recharge and also improved their overall well-being.
Ranch or farm ownership can also play a role in whether children are allowed to tag along for ranch-related work or not. For example, one ranch employee says they are sensitive to health and safety implications for their employer if something doesn’t go as planned. “There are different pressures and timelines that don’t make it easy for a two-yearold and six-year-old to tag along.”
Many parents hire neighbouring teenagers for short-term child care during school breaks, weekends, or summer. A bonus is if teens have a driver’s license and a means to get to and from where the kids need care.
While some farmers don’t like the idea of travel time to daycare, one family uses their three-hour total commute time to incorporate homeschool podcasts and special visiting time (when their kids are with them) and other audio resources when they are solo.
If there are willing family members or neighbours nearby, reach out for help. This may be a temporary solution or perhaps fill a gap on occasions when it is too cold or hot for children to be outdoors all day, or when kids may be sick and unable to attend daycare.
