As the cattle cycle changes to an accelerated market, the most important tool required is a “genetically designed” herd sire to add value to your program. Whether you need a new sire for spring breeding or looking to find a new prospect this fall, we can fill your needs.

Calving ease, power with performance, highly maternal or a combination of all three, stop by and we will give you the tour.

Remember in a “bull market” you need a bull!

You Ought To Know. . . …it’s time to open our eyes about numbers…EPD’s. For the past decade or more, associations have preached and promoted the use of expected progeny differences to the point that some breeders totally believe that these numbers are “be all, end all” solutions in breeding cattle.

It seems in the Hereford breed, the numbers first and most looked at…are birth weight, milk, then marbling and ribeye area.

In order for this editorial to make any sense, I would like to analyze the most dominant bull in the Hereford breed over the last two decades. He virtually changed the style of Herefords and over eighty percent of the herds carry his influence…some two and three fold. His registration number is C02356049 and is in one hundred and forty-eight herds, with six hundred and fourteen daughters in production. Of the fifteen EPD traits listed on his pedigree, he is a trait leader for eight traits…WW, YW, TM, MCE, SC, MPI, FMI, and REA. Now on the above listed traits, he is over double and a bit on birth weight at 7.7 (calving ease is in the bottom 1%), his milk is 2 points over average, a trait leader on ribeye and sits in the bottom 10% for marbling, with the lowest accuracy of 73%. Folks, this bull put the Hereford breed back into the game.

In the past decade, the birth weight EPD has eliminated some very good breeding bulls from being a part of our genetic base. Actual birth weights are taken in several ways – visual guess, tape, drive-by weight, horseback weight, bar weight, bathroom scale and some even use a calf scale. When a bull calf is born, he is assigned a birth weight pedigree estimate which is used in marketing, since many of the top bull calves do find homes before fifteen months of age. There are adjustments due to the age of dam.

Since research gurus believe that old cows and young cows do not milk as well as cows in the prime of their lives (5 years is generally believed to be prime), adjustments for the mother’s age is added to the birth weight. First calf heifers younger than 2.7 years of age, receive an added birth weight adjustment, but gestation length does not come into play for any adjusted weights. Since the proof of a program which is improving and moving forward is indicated by the replacement heifers, the calves automatically have added birth weight numbers, simply because most programs calve at twenty-four months or less. Thus, if the numbers are too high, these new genetic packages get passed by because of an estimated number.

Granted, over the last several years the numbers have improved or shall we say stabilized. There is a huge difference between visual and numerical which we see at sale barns throughout the country. Hereford feeder calves will sell with the best of them but they need bone, frame, hair and lots of “go” in them and since there are fewer Hereford sired calves in the system, they get sorted. The good calves can go into any pen, while those fine boned, calving ease sired calves get sorted into pens with all the other calving ease sired calves in other breeds. The sort comes with price discount, low weaning

weight and an unhappy customer who chooses to use a different breed. We must never take out of sight the fact that a majority of the calves topping the feeder sales carry a degree of white face influence and the most sought after feeder calf is the buckskin.

Due to the declining cattle inventories, the market place is demanding heavier carcass weight which will bode well for continental sires. As we concern ourselves with an estimated number in the first column, we forget that we are in the beef cattle business where pounds at weaning and pounds at yearling are the two factors that drive profit for the cow/calf producer and feedlot operator. But to increase those numbers, we generally (if not always) need to increase birth weight. (I have never seen a mouse grow up to be an elephant.)

Lessons can be learned from the past. If you look back thirty or so years, when the majority of cows in the commercial sector were Hereford and the Charolais bull was introduced into the industry, the buckskin steer got his start. Some Hereford cows would consistently produce light weight “companion calves,� yet that same cow mated to a Charolais bull would bring in a calf that was thirty percent or heavier under the same conditions.

Although hybrid vigor is a factor, the sire of the calf did not have an eighty pound birth weight and that added bone and skeletal shape gave surface of body mass for additional pounds.

In the years ahead as our North American cow herd starts expansion, we will again see a growth in the purebred sector based on supply and demand. A few breeds will expand more than the others, solely on demand promotion and common sense. As a breed, Hereford needs not to be painted into a corner simply by single trait selection.

Our breed has many things to offer to the livestock industry but they have to be analyzed visually.

Just for a point of interest, four Hereford bulls have been selected Supreme at the RBC Supreme Challenge at Agribition, a record which most other cannot claim. The judges each year hail from other breeds, visually selecting the best individual and although we relate Herefords for their maternal traits, only bulls have dominated. The current average birth weight expected progeny difference on the four Supreme Champions is 8.0‌..go figure!

Many of the major events in Canada climax with various all breed shows as a highlight to close the event. These shows have proven to be a crowd favorite, obvious by the increase in attendance on supreme show day. Each supreme championship comes with more than bragging rights, as the show committees work hard to ďŹ nd sponsorship and/or prizes to go along with the supreme champion title. In year 2010, in addition to being the 150th Anniversary of the breed, Herefords captured the most supreme championships in the modern era.

The RBC Supreme Challenge is the most sought after win of the registered beef cattle industry in Canada. Douglas (Buddy) and Francis Leachman with son, Lance, made the Hereford breed proud in its 150th year by capturing the supreme bull title at Agribition. Their Agribition and Lloydminster Grand Champion, Big-Gully 611 Bounty 517U sired by KSU Bounty Hunter, who himself was an Agribition reserve champion, also achieved Canadian Allstar Grand Champion status. Hereford bulls have won the RBC Supreme previously in 2003, 2004 and 2005.

Douglas R Leachman joins the list of names that have bred an Agribition Supreme Champion, along with Eivend and Joyce Eggen, Jay Holmes, and Bar Pipe Farms.

Parkvista Hereford Farm, Kelly and Angie Feige, Parkside, Saskatchewan showed the Supreme Champion Bull at Saskatoon Fall Fair with TDM Mercedes 26U, a March 24, 2008 son of KTD Domino Sky Lad 41R. Bred

by Trevor Davies, TDM Mercedes was Reserve Champion Bull at Lloydminster and Agribition.

Congratulations to Gordon Stephenson on his recent induction into the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame. Gordon has been a long time promoter of Canadian genetics. He has served as President and Manager of Canadian Western Agribition; so it was only fitting that this award be given to Gordon at the opening ceremonies of the 40th anniversary of CWA. He currently holds the position of General Manager for the Canadian Hereford Association.

“Jock” John Robert Blacklock

Jock (John Robert) Blacklock was born October 13, 1921 in Maymont, SK and passed away peacefully on January 23, 2011 in Prince Albert, SK. Jock was predeceased by his beloved Mabel, two years ago, on January 30, 2009.

After growing up in Maymont during the thirties, Jock attended the University of Saskatchewan and graduated from the College of Agriculture in 1943. During a short illness at Saskatoon City Hospital, Jock met Mabel Barry, a nurse, and they married in June, 1946. After a brief time with the federal government’s Agriculture Department, Mabel and Jock decided to pursue an opportunity they saw for a new, young livestock auctioneer based in Western Canada.

Following a ten-day auctioneering course in Iowa, Jock returned home and Blacklock Auction Service was established, followed by Saskatoon Auction Mart in 1961 and the development of a significant Purebred Hereford herd on their farm east of Saskatoon.

In addition to his agriculture career, he served as a director and president of the Saskatoon Industrial Exhibition, was the reeve of the RM of Corman Park for one term and was a member of the U of S board of governors. Jock had been named a member of the Canadian Hereford Association Honour Roll, recognized by the Saskatchewan Livestock Association for his service to the industry and in 1994 was given a place of honour in an auction display at the Western Development Museum in North Battleford.

Even with their demanding business concerns, Mabel and Jock were dedicated parents to their large family, active in the community and their church, and frequent hosts of large gatherings of friends and family on the farm. Jock retired in 1986 after selling the 35th Calgary Bull Sale of his career, and from there Mabel and Jock threw themselves into additional volunteer activities, a great interest in bird watching and time with their children and grandchildren. Jock was inducted into the Saskatchewan Agriculture Hall of Fame in 1995. Mabel and Jock moved to Prince Albert in October 2007 to Good Shepherd Villas so that they could remain together.

LATIMER, Louis Taylor February 13, 1923-December 21, 2010

Louis passed away on December 21, 2010, following a brief illness.

Louis was born on February 13, 1923 on the family farm near Bowden, AB. He attended the Nesbit School and at the same time started his business career by trapping weasels, muskrat and coyotes until he had enough money to buy a Shorthorn heifer, which started a fabulous career of breeding purebred seed stock in four breeds, Shorthorn, Polled Hereford, Gelbvieh and Angus.

Louis married Jean Winter on December 3, 1945. Their marriage was a partnership in both love and business. Together they raised six children and successfully built the Remitall herd.

In 1954, Louis and his brother Carroll formed a partnership that continued for twenty years. When they dissolved their partnership in 1976, he formed a partnership with his two sons, Gary and Bryan.

Louis was very active in the Olds Agriculture Society, and twice had the honor of being President. Louis was active on many different boards, including the Calgary Stampede, Canadian Hereford and Shorthorn Associations.

He has received numerous awards during the years including; Hall of Fame at the NILE Exhibition 1979 (Billings, MT); Canadian Livestock Man of the Year 1987 (Denver, CO); American Shorthorn Association “Builder of the Breed� (Omaha, NB); Canadian Hereford Association honor Roll 1988; Alberta Angus Association Breeder of the Year; County of Mountain View Family Farm Award and was honored as a Pioneer by the Beef Improvement Federation on July 3, 2008. The Remitall name and its bloodlines are known world-wide and have made a great contribution to the cattle industry. Louis strongly believed in his family and attended many 4-H shows, Junior Livestock shows, hockey, soccer games, and many other events to show his support. He was always willing to share his knowledge of life with both his family and friends.

Bear’s Corner

The longer I’m associated

By Doreen Flewelling

with the beef industry and the older I get, the luckier I feel to have had the opportunity to meet so many interesting and intelligent women. Often the unsung heroes of our industry are the women, and in this column I hope to share some of their lives with you. They form a diverse and devoted group who can proudly claim the titles of wife, mother, career woman and then often become secretary, bookkeeper, farmhand, entertainment co-ordinator and shrewd business partner as well.

Larry and Florence Behnke were shocked, to say the least, when their teenage daughter, Juanita (Behnke) Elmhirst, announced that she wanted to fit cattle for a living! They did, however, realize they had had a hand in developing that passion.

While raising four daughters, Larry taught his children they could do anything if they set their minds to it, and both Larry and Florence had passed on their love for cattle to Juanita. There was no turning back!

As far as young Juanita was concerned, her College Diploma was earned just to appease her parents and a stepping stone to living her dream as a cattle fitter. As it turns out, her education has been a definite asset to her future as a business woman and an entrepreneur.

Larry Behnke’s parents emigrated from Germany and settled on a farm near Petawawa, Ontario. Larry was born in Canada, but when he started school he could only speak German. The Behnkes raised Horned Herefords, and as well, Larry’s father, Wallace, started a logging business. He would hire a crew of men, assemble numerous teams of horses, and spend the winter months logging in Northern Ontario. In the spring, the logs were transported home on the Ottawa River. When Larry was 17, he started working off the farm as a butcher and eventually worked his way up to be the Manager of Steinburg Supermarket in Petawawa.

Larry married his high school sweetheart, Florence Kenny. Florence had her teaching degree from Ottawa Teacher’s College, so after they married, she took a teaching position on the Petawawa Army Base. They built their first home next to Larry’s parents, but there was a much different future ahead.

Larry was raised with Horned Herefords, but Florence

was raised on one of the largest dairies in Ontario, and as the second oldest of eight siblings, she had learned the dairy business firsthand. Her father passed away when she was 12, so her oldest brother quit school to manage the dairy. The Kennys milked 80 head of Holsteins by hand, with the help of hired men who would work in exchange for food and board.

When Larry and Florence’s first daughter, Juanita, arrived in 1969, the couple realized they missed the farm life, and their ultimate goal became to raise their family in rural Ontario. They bought a farm along the Ottawa River next to the Kenny dairy and named it Flo-Lar Farms. Both Larry and Florence kept their offfarm jobs, and when Steinburg’s Supermarket relocated, Larry took a position in the Petawawa Post Office. The couple also helped out at the Kenny dairy and started a commercial beef herd of their own. Larry bought a Horned Hereford bull and crossed him with the Kenny Holstein heifers. He would then purchase all of the resulting heifer calves to build their commercial cow herd. “Boy could those cows raise great calves,” Juanita tells me. “They could easily wean 800 to 1,000 pound bull calves.”

As time went on and the commercial herd grew, Larry decided they should purchase some purebred beef cattle so Juanita would have pedigreed heifers to show in 4-H. He wrote to all of the breed associations for information to help him decide which breed to choose. The ONLY association that answered his request was the Charolais Association! He purchased a Charolais bull; however, he encountered far too many calving difficulties. Trusted friends, Fred and Sally Reicheld, of Jarvis Hereford Farms (and Simmentals), sold Larry his first Simmental bull. He used the Simmental on the commercial herd and was so impressed with the bull

4-H Holstein Heifer and All Canadian List Champion

that he decided to show him off at the Toronto Royal Winter Fair! “Dad had never been to a cattle show,” Juanita recalls. “After many phone calls to Fred, Dad purchased a brush and some show supplies (not knowing how to use them), put the bull in the trailer and headed to the Royal! The bull placed second in class, and the purebred Simmental operation grew from there.” Larry purchased a second bull from the Reichelds and profited selling semen across Canada.

The Behnkes then partnered to import a Simmental bull directly from France, and before they knew it, Larry was the President of the Ottawa Valley Simmental Club, Florence was a Simmental Belle, and they were hosting their own production sales at the Hobbs Sale Barn in Ashton. They exhibited their Simmentals at numerous summer fairs that led up to the Toronto Royal each fall. Florence became the fitter of the family, and as Juanita remembers, “Mom was an excellent fitter and could wax leg hair like no other! It was during those years working at the fairs with Mom that my love for the show ring started.”

Flo-Lar Farms also raised horse hay and exported it to New York. Florence and Juanita were in charge of cutting, raking and baling square bales, but they hired men to stack them. “Nothing made Dad prouder than when his daughters could bury the boys in the hay mow,” Juanita chuckles. “My sisters and I had no trouble building muscles. We also ran an All Breeds bull test during the winter, and we carried 25 or 30 pails of grain to the bulls both morning and night.”

Juanita’s Family

Larry and Florence accomplished their goals and raised their family with rural values. Larry passed away in 2009, but not before he shared his love for family and his love for cattle with his daughters. Florence is retired and still lives on their farm overlooking the Ottawa River. The four Behnke daughters grew up with a soft spot in their hearts for the livestock industry.

Today, the youngest Behnke daughter, Jane, works for the Ontario Farmer Daily, a publication reporting on agricultural news throughout the province. She also raises Shorthorns and Simmentals near Glencoe, Ontario with her husband Reed Crawford. The second youngest daughter, Sally, and her husband Todd Bulmer have two sons, Shayne and Dakota, and live near Pakenham, Ontario. Sally co-manages a large Daycare and doesn’t live on a farm, but she still loves to come to the shows. The second oldest daughter, Tracy, is a Chartered Accountant in Russell, Ontario. Tracy and her husband, Kevin MacIntyre have one daughter, Morgan. They raise Angus and Simmental cattle.

Morgan has also inherited the love of showing cattle.

The eldest Behnke daughter, Juanita Elmhirst and her sisters remain close. “We talk on the phone almost every day,” she tells me. “We all meet at the Royal each fall, and we often end up showing cattle against each other. It’s great!”

The Big Fish is where Juanita grew up. The farm was located on the Ottawa River.

4-H Simmental Heifer 53

When Juanita joined 4-H at 12 years old, she exhibited both beef and dairy. She showed Simmental heifers in the beef club, but she also joined the dairy club to show her Uncle Rick Kenny’s Holsteins. Juanita did so well showing Holsteins, that one of the heifers was nominated to the “All Canadian” list. Only six Holstein heifers per age category are nominated each year from across Canada to be named to this prestigious list. Her first attempt in a showmanship class is a memorable day! “We had the heifers lined up around the ring, and the judge was considering his options,” Juanita vividly recalls. “He stood in front of me to examine the animal ahead. As luck would have it, my heifer was in heat that day! She jumped on the judge and took him to the ground. That was an embarrassing experience and a day I will never forget. ”Juanita’s showmanship skills improved, and soon, when it came to the competitions, she was a force to reckon with. She became the first person ever chosen from Renfrew County to compete in the 4-H Beef Showmanship competition held annually at the Toronto Royal Winter Fair. By the time Juanita graduated from 4-H at the age of 21, she had been a member of the beef, dairy, vet, crop and home-economics clubs and she didn’t stop there. As a matter of fact, she finished by completing projects in 52 4-H clubs!

“Going through school Mom was sure I would go to college and find a good job,” Juanita recalls. “So when I broke the news that I wanted to be a cattle fitter, I thought both parents had fainted. With a lot of persistence on my part, I attended the University of Guelph for one year and graduated from the Kemptville College the second year with an Ag Business Diploma.”

In her last semester at Kemptville, Juanita received a call from James Hayes of Northern Fitting Service.

James offered her a job. “And of course, without thinking, I accepted,” Juanita says! “My Dad pleaded with me, saying fitting cattle wasn’t a world for women, but I had to find out for myself!”

James Hayes has been credited with training many young livestock fitters over the years. Just to name a few of his previous employees that have continued working in the industry: Robert (Chub) Lundago, Dave Lasby, Tim Massey, Anne Brunet, Greg Hill, and numerous others. Juanita was about to be added to that list. “I had briefly worked for James at the Royal,” Juanita recalls. “I should have known what I was in for! The first week he had me drive the standard transmission truck and trailer downtown through Toronto to the stockyards! Next I was teamed with another employee, Joanne Handley, and we would each take a truck and trailer filled with cattle and head off to the Ontario summer fairs. The fall was when the big shows started. One fall I trucked the cattle to the Brandon, Manitoba Fall Fair, then to the Toronto Royal Winter Fair, on to the Kansas City Royal, next to Omaha, Nebraska and finished in late November at the Regina Canadian Western Agribition.”

Northern Fitting Service also ran a service to calve embryo recipient cows of all breeds. “When it was calving season, I enjoyed going up to the barn and reading all the old Northern Fitting Service stall signs.

Many of the people I idolized had been partners with James Hayes in the fitting service like Dave Hasson, Levi Jackson and Cyril Cook and here I was,” Juanita remembers. “I was living my dream! Working with James I got to meet many Hereford breeders. We worked at the Medonte Highlands Polled Herefords and Onondaga Farms sales.”

Next Juanita accepted a position as Herd Manager for Wyecrest Simmentals near Brooklin, Ontario. She worked there for four years, and one year they exhibited 21 head of Simmentals at the Toronto Royal and came home with 27 Champion banners.

The natural next step was for Juanita to start a fitting service of her own. One of her first clients was a family she had been introduced to by John Hill, Manager of Onondaga Farms. For the next twelve years Juanita fit and cared for the River Valley Polled Herefords show and sale cattle. “I had many great years working with Elwyn, Donald and Pauline Embury,” Juanita reflects.

“Our friendship continues.”

Juanita knew who Billy Elmhirst of Elm-Lodge Polled Herefords was from 4-H functions, but she wasn’t particularly fond of the young man at the time.

“Friends told me his family was the best part of him,” she chuckles. It was one year at Canadian Western Agribition in Regina, when Juanita and Billy started to cultivate a closer relationship. They finally realized they shared the same plan for the future. When they returned home to Ontario the relationship continued, but it was a long boring four hour drive from Peterborough to Pembroke

where Juanita was living. Billy got tired of the commute and finally asked Juanita to marry him! “I couldn’t talk Billy into leaving his mother,” Juanita laughs, “so we married in 1996 and settled at ElmLodge!” Juanita’s parents gave them a Simmental cow for a wedding present, and keeping Juanita’s Simmentals became part of the wedding agreement.

The newlyweds inherited a piece of the Elmhirst property and started to build a beautiful log home and farm-site near Billy’s parents, Mary and Grant. “Billy and I weren’t handy with tools, so it took us two years and lots of help from family and friends to build our house,” Juanita admits. “We lived in the house that is attached to Mary and Grant’s, and that was a blessing.

I had spent most of my life working in a barn, and I didn’t know how to cook. I showed up for every meal, and Mary patiently taught me how to cook!”

Juanita and Billy also operate a showing, fitting and boarding service. When necessary, they hire a crew to help manage the workload, especially on the show road.

They accept all breeds, and one year in particular they looked after 100 head at the Toronto Royal and fit 150 head of cattle through the chutes. In 2002 they completed their show/sale barn in time to host the first “Source for Success” Elm-Lodge and guests Polled Hereford sale held annually in September. Their yard is built amongst a forest of Ontario maple, pine and cedar, and the fall foliage creates a beautiful backdrop to showcase the sale offering.

Our Show/Sale barn we built

As I mentioned, when Billy married Juanita he also inherited her Simmentals. On their first Anniversary (traditionally paper) he gave her a registration paper for a new Simmental cow! I guess that meant the “Simmis” could stay! With Mary and Grant’s patience, as Juanita puts it, they raise their Simmentals alongside the 90 Elm-Lodge Polled Hereford cows.

Under the name of Indian River Cattle Company, they presently keep about 45 black and red Simmental females. Juanita does the registering and bookkeeping for the Simmentals.

They have achieved considerable success in both breeds.

As with the Polled Herefords, they have set their goals high to produce and supply predictable genetics to both commercial and purebred breeders in the form of herd bulls and replacement females. Three years running, 2005, 2006 and 2007, Indian River Cattle exhibited at the NABC (North American Beef Congress) held in London, Ontario, where they won both Premier Exhibitor and Premier Breeder banners. At the Toronto Royal Agricultural Winter Fair they have been named the Premier Breeder four years running, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 as well. In 2009 the National Simmental Show with 180 head in attendance was held at the Royal, and it was a special honor to win the Premier Breeder award that year. “Nothing makes a better cross than a Hereford/Simmental,” Juanita believes.

“We have used them for recipient mothers, and I am sure we could sell a lot more as F1s.” Just in time for gift giving, Juanita and Billy have hosted an annual Christmas Internet Simmental Heifer Sale since 2008.

One of the first internet sales in Canada, the goal was to sell heifers as 4-H projects for the following year. It has worked well with the Simmentals. They also offer a “cash and credit” Junior Incentive Program to encourage young breeders in the industry. To view Indian River Champion Simmental herd sires, females and sale offerings, visit their website at www.indianrivercattlecompany.com.

In the past 14 years, the two Elmhirst couples, Mary and Grant, Juanita and Billy, have celebrated numerous successes with their Polled Hereford cattle. They have exhibited across North America including Denver, Louisville and Regina. For ten years in a row

Katie and Owen competing head to head at Bonanza 2010

Elm-Lodge has been presented the coveted Premier Breeder banner at the Toronto Royal Winter Fair. Their proudest day came at the 2000 Royal when Elm-Lodge captured both Supreme Champion Bull and Supreme Champion Female over all breeds. Still a record, the female was Elm-Lodge Jubilee 42J, and the bull was Elm-Lodge Jurassic 13J. The following year, Jurassic was named the Reserve Junior Champion at the Denver National. Elm-Lodge Next Big Thing 3N was first shown at the Royal alongside his mother in 2003. His mother, Love Letter 15L was named the Grand Champion Female that year. One of four Elm-Lodge bulls leased to Semex, to date they have sold over 10,000 units of Next Big Thing semen into 15 countries, and he still wanders the pasture at home. Love Letter 15L is also the dam of Elm-Lodge Paycheck 11P, and he was a popular class Katie and Owen winner at the 2004 Toronto National show, Futurity Champion the same year and NABC Reserve Champion Bull in 2005.

One of the current sensational bulls at Elm-Lodge is BF Flint 730T ET. Sired by BR Moler, Flint is the only Moler son in Canada. Flint is a flush mate to BF Flirtatious, the 2008 US Junior National Champion and the 2009 Denver Champion Female. The dam of Flint, Elm-Lodge 24 Karat 13K has mothered four champions at the US Junior Nationals and four Denver Division winners. As junior partners with Mary and Grant, Juanita and Billy bring a renewed enthusiasm and energy to the family operation, and the next generation is already bringing home the banners.

Juanita and Billy are proud parents of two children.

Owen is ten and Katie is eight years old. They spend a large part of their summer vacation making new friends

and exhibiting their cattle at 4-H and Junior Hereford and Simmental events, just as their parents and grandparents have done. This past summer they participated in the Junior National Hereford Expo held in Indianapolis, Indiana and the Canadian Junior Hereford Bonanza held in St-Hyacinthe, Quebec.

Juanita says she is enjoying the ages they are right now because they still think Mom and Dad know best!

“Since Owen was born he has had a love for anything with wheels, a loader or on rails,” Juanita says. “At the age of four he could back the trailer up, sitting on my knee. He spends hours in the tractor with Billy, either cutting hay or spreading manure.

Billy can hardly wait until Owen can take over the tractor work.”

Presently, Owen says he’s going Owen’s first cattle show to be a crop and chicken farmer like his Uncle Jason. In his ten year old wisdom, Owen can see that the computer feeds the chickens and plant crops make you lots of money!

That leaves the winter for snowboarding!

Eight year old Katie loves to sing and dance, but she loves animals even more. “Anything with a heartbeat will do,” Juanita notices. “When she was three, she wrote Santa a letter and asked for a pony. When Santa didn’t deliver, Katie didn’t forget. She refused to write him a letter the next year. Katie went right over Santa’s head to get action. She went to none other than her biggest fan… her Dad of course. He delivered with a beautiful white pony!”

When the children were infant and toddler age Juanita was a little more house-bound, so she started teaching

herself computer skills. First she designed the ElmLodge “Source for Success” sale catalogue and soon her talents were getting recognized. Last year she was hired to design 13 breeder sale catalogues and an Angus Directory. She designed the Elm-Lodge Polled Herefords and the Indian River Cattle Company websites, and her talents are being recognized there as well. Breeders are hiring her to design websites for their purebred operations.

For those of you who have ever had anything to do with cattle photography for your sale catalogues or advertising campaign, you will understand what I am saying. It takes a special talent to photograph livestock.

Your average point and click won’t do. You have to be artistic and patient…very patient, and have an eye for the perfect shot. Juanita has been the Elmhirst photographer for the past 13 years and she has the photographer’s touch. She has been hired to photograph or video for several breeds, at livestock shows, and has been commissioned as far east as the Maritimes.

Juanita still loves to clip and show cattle, and she can do just about anything necessary on the farm. She is also the senior AI Technician (Billy is in his first year of training). Both Juanita and Billy are respected in Ontario and across Canada for their knowledge evaluating cattle. As a husband and wife team, they judged the Canadian Western Agribition Polled Hereford Show in 2004, and Juanita was a member of a three woman judging panel to choose the Red Coat Champions at the 2009 Agribition.

Both Juanita and Billy have been fortunate in the livestock industry because of the people they have met and the experiences they have enjoyed. They have expanded their services to include sale management, ring service and consulting to assist the purebred industry. As a team, they keep diversifying their operation and making the most of their skills. Juanita has made the choice to allow her work, her hobbies, her holidays and her social life all to involve livestock. It was a decision that was easy to make, but she is working on Billy to take her away for a beach holiday. Just to try it out!

Few people working 9 to 5 jobs have the luxury to say

they are passionate about their work. Juanita has a 24 hour-a-day career and remains as passionate about her choices as she was the day she broke the news to her parents that she wanted to fit cattle for a living.

The Ontario government has a five-year, $2.5 million Premier’s Award Program for Agri-Food Innovation.

Forty-four winners are chosen annually from across the province of Ontario for their vision and hard work in the Agri-Food Sector. Ontario’s Agri-Food Sector is one of the province’s leading industries, contributing more than $33 billion to the economy each year. In May, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Food & Rural Affairs announced eight recipients from Eastern Ontario to each receive a $5,000 award for 2010. Indian River Cattle Company, Juanita and Billy Elmhirst were recognized amongst these outstanding individuals. Farmers can bid for livestock in the comfort of their own home by going online to www.yournextcalf.com. Juanita and Billy were the first to sell an animal on this cost-effective, live online service. As quoted from the website, Your Next Calf.com is an avenue for breeders to connect with like minded individuals who share their interests in good cattle. Their goal is to create a user friendly site to market and sell genetics that will improve each of their respective breeds. The website features photos, pedigree information and video footage of the purebred animals on offer. This system has broadened market exposure for Ontario’s quality livestock.

On behalf of Herefords Today, congratulations on receiving the 2010 Ontario Premier’s Award!

Two things have remained constant throughout Juanita’s life; her love of working with cattle of course, and also the people she has met are equally important. She has lifelong friends she made as a youth in 4-H, and more recent friends made throughout Canada, North America and Worldwide as a breeder in the livestock industry.

Her goal for the future is to continue striving to succeed as a purebred breeder, even though it seems to be getting harder to accomplish. She hopes her children grow up healthy and happy and find their passion in life. “We would enjoy it if they would like to farm,” Juanita says, “but if they have other interests, we would certainly support them any way we can. I am very lucky to have married into the Hereford breed. I just love our ElmLodge “Source for Success” sale day because I get to be involved in the excitement of the crowd. I believe Hereford people show more enthusiasm come sale day, than in any other breed.

Let’s keep it up!”

A look across the horizon shows all there is to see for miles.

The flat land is only interrupted by the houses and barns scattered through the fields. The sky shimmers a blue, cloudless vastness, as birds soar higher and higher into the air. The stillness encompasses the grass and Herefords. A glance to the north reveals the Moose Mountains where the cattle roam in amongst the vegetation. Welcome to this place, the perfect peace, Arcola, Saskatchewan.

The year 2010 is very important for the Hereford breed, as it is the celebration of one hundred and fifty years of Herefords in Canada. Beginning with the arrival of the first Herefords in Guelph, Ontario in 1860, the popular breed spread throughout Canada.

Impressively, it made its way to the prairies within fifty years, with the first registrations from Arcola in 1910. It was the start of something that would make an impression on the Hereford industry today.

The generations of the Lees family have created Blair - Athol Polled Herefords over one hundred years, through hard work and a great family core. They have extended their sales to an international level over the decades. This year, we join in celebration with them as they rejoice in one hundred years of successful breeding.

The first Herefords on the farm, owned by the Lees brothers, were horned. The horned herd, however, was dispersed in 1963 and replaced with fifty polled Herefords purchased from Texas. Only last fall, the final heifer directly descended from these cattle was sold.

The hands of the farm were passed down to the brothers, Chris and Duncan Lees, by the seventies. In 1978, Blair – Athol sold a bull to Japan for an outstanding $25,000. A decade later, the brothers’ partnership was divided in 1985. Duncan, along side his wife, Val, continued at the home farm with Blair – Athol Polled Herefords. C and T Cattle Company is operated by Chris Lees and his wife, Tina.

The animal that has been the single biggest impact on the herd, in Duncan’s opinion, is probably Remitall Keynote 20X. Semen purchased from this bull was used in the herd, resulting in heifers that won championships at Manitoba’s Ag Ex, as well as the First Lady Classic at Regina’s Agribition. The show herd continues to excel in the ring, including Blair – Athol being named Premier Breeder at last year’s Agribition.

As well as using the farm for their personal success, the Lees family has always been a strong supporter of the Junior Herefords, and Bonanzas. Duncan and Val, having four children, Lynn, Arden, Jeff and Jarrett, who grew up in the Junior program, were always actively involved in their province’s team. All four children were successful in all aspects of the Junior shows, and earned themselves national honours and scholarships.

Duncan Lees is a past president of the Canadian Hereford Association, and has had the honour of judging, nationally and internationally. To me as a Junior, Duncan is a knowledgeable cattleman and

judging, nationally and internationally. To me as a Junior, Duncan is a knowledgeable cattleman and is willing to share his advice. Their home is always open to visitors. Val is a gracious host, a terrific cook, and a supportive mom. A visit to the Lees’ home includes great hospitality and entertaining conversations. If you’re lucky enough, you may get to taste Val’s delicious pies made from hand picked Saskatoon berries grown in the Moose Mountains.

A stop in at Blair – Athol is sure to leave you with stories to tell. I, myself, can proudly say that Jeff Lees got my family to eat wild spearmint and live ants, found on our tour through the mountains to see the cattle. Regardless of the fear factor experience, I feel very privileged to know the Lees, and to share their enthusiasm for the Hereford breed.

So whether it’s the extremely dry and hot conditions of the summer months, with the risk of hail and tornados, or the winters with minus 45˚C and blizzards, the Lees family and the rugged Blair – Athol Herefords still stand strong.

This was the third Hereford Genes Event held in conjunction with the Western National Hereford Show at Edmonton Northland’s Farmfair. What a success it has become. There were over 540 participants in the Rancher’s Choice Award.

The format for this event is an entry fee of $400.00 per bull, and for this, the entrant receives five pairs of tickets to give to current or prospective customers of his/her choice. For each pair of tickets, one ticket goes into a draw with the lucky winner getting choice of any bull entered. You also receive four tickets for your crew, and this entitles them and your guests to a beautiful dinner, as well as tickets to the Ranch Rodeo. Everyone attending is eligible to submit their selection for the Rancher’s Choice Award. As this competition is primarily for yearling bulls, the organizing committee is looking at adding a calendar year bull and heifer calf class in the future.

The Grand Champion of the Rancher’s Choice Award for 2010 was TLELL 42S SUPER DUDE 20W entered by Richardson Ranch of Tlell, BC. The Reserve Champion Rancher’s Choice Award went to JNHR UNIQUE TIMBER 715W, an entry of JoNomn Hereford Ranch of Clyde, AB. Tanga Herefords from Millet, AB were lucky to have their bull, Tanga Silverstone 17W, chosen by Ed Lange, a commercial producer from Millet, AB. Tanga Herefords received a cheque for $8000.00.

Evaluating a Bull’s Ability to Breed

Many cattle producers forget that a satisfactory semen check (Breeding Soundness Evaluation) doesn’t guarantee that the bull is a breeder! In fact, most of you have probably realized by now that vets rarely, if ever, guarantee anything. It isn’t that we have signed some secret pact, but rather that there are so many factors beyond our control which can affect the success of our treatments or recommendations that it would be foolish for us to guarantee anything. Just because a bull has big testicles and large numbers of normal, motile sperm does not mean that he will sire any calves.

Semen checks really only reflect what the sperm producing capability looks like on the day of the test. The odds are generally excellent that the semen quality will remain the same, but that is only if the nutritional and health status are consistent.

Mental health is also an important component of the overall health status. That’s right, the bull’s mental health! Bulls that are stressed because of climate, fighting, pain and probably fear will have less than optimal semen quality. Late spring snow storms are known to cause a dramatic increase in the numbers of defective sperm which can show up within a day or two of the event, necessitating a retest at some later date. Mental and physical status can also affect a bull’s willingness, desire or ability to breed. I once watched an older bull demonstrate hind leg spasm as soon as he mounted a cow – he would just start quivering and slide right off, unable to complete the service. We suspected that the bull had severe lesions in his lower spine; however, X-raying the spine of an animal of that size is impossible, not to mention the fact that there is little that could be done to treat this bull.

On the Breeding Soundness Evaluation form there Herefords Today Winter 2011

is a category for sex drive and mating ability. Most bulls are sold as virgin yearlings or two-year olds so I just check off “Unknown.” With older, privatelyowned bulls, I may ask if the bull sired calves the previous year and how well he performed. In other words, was the calving season relatively short and did the bull in question sire lots of calves. There is a written recommendation on the form stating that owners should observe their bulls to make sure he is breeding. Often I will take the extra step to remind owners to keep an eye on their bull to make sure everything is working right.

Our best estimates are that in multiple bull breeding situations, where no one has taken the time to really watch the bulls, as many as 1 in 10 bulls may not be a suitable breeder. In single sire mating situations, usually an animal that is unable or unwilling to breed is noticed within 1 or 2 heat cycles when cows that were thought to be bred come back in heat. Don’t forget, 1 or 2 heat cycles still represents a huge financial loss!

I recommend that breeding bulls be checked daily during at least the first 3 weeks after turnout and probably the first month or more. If this is not possible make it every 2 to 3 days tops. The first month is critical because 70 to 75% of the cows should get pregnant within the first 3 weeks of turnout. Things I like to check for are: 1) is he still alive ... if not a replacement is needed right away; 2) is he injured... if so how bad, can he breed, or will he recover this week, or this season etc.; 3) is he mounting and completing service; and 4) is he settling cows. With items 3 and 4 it can be tricky.

Maybe there is another bull doing the work, maybe he is one of those “shy” bulls who only breeds at night. The best times to check are early morning

72

and early evening when they are more likely to be active, rather than when they are resting comfortably under a tree. Injuries and death of a breeding bull are most likely in the first month of the breeding season. You would probably be surprised to hear how many times we see young bulls that have injured their penises and must be culled after breeding 5 cows or less.

Every year I receive phone calls about bulls that appear to lack libido or the ability to breed. Most of the calls are either from veterinarians or from the seed stock producers who raised and sold the bull.

Usually the animal has been reported to be totally disinterested in breeding or in some cases, his desire to breed seems lack lustre in the new owner’s eyes. Fortunately, we have an efficient way to check these cases out. It is called the serving capacity test, or in some circles the libido test, or service test. Done properly this test involves the haltering of a sturdy cow, preferably in heat but not necessary, in a short stocks. We usually sedate the cow so that she stands quietly and provide her with adequate lubrication. Proper restraint of the cow is important – bulls always chin-rest before attempting to mount and a big clue that they have a receptive partner is that she doesn’t move. Simply, putting a bull in a pen with a cow or tying a cow to tree is not the way to do this test. I have seen cases where bulls have been falsely labelled as nonbreeders because of a poorly done serving capacity test. Bulls are also sexually stimulated by watching other bulls, so we usually put a known breeder in with the cow first and allow the bull in question to watch through a fence. My personal preference is to have an ugly little cuss as the teaser bull because I think the little guys work up the test bulls even more. I’m not kidding! There is merit in my thinking as more dominant bulls do more of the breeding in multiple bull breeding situations and dominance is determined mostly by size and age.

Test bulls should not feel threatened by either humans or other animals, so all handling must be quiet and deliberate; this is no place for a stock prod.

Herefords Today Winter 2011

The test bull is given up to 20 minutes with the mount cow and if he completes at least a service or two, he is a breeder. More services than that indicates a higher serving capacity/ libido and greater odds that he will breed more cows at pasture. Choosing the bulls that score moderate to high in serving capacity/ libido has been shown to have positive effect on conception rates in the cow herd. Having said that, I don’t think there is anything more striking than finding a bull that has been kicking around an outfit for a few years that is physically unable to breed. Just think what it has cost to feed and house a bull like that.

The serving capacity test is pretty good for checking out breeding bulls greater than two years of age and has been shown to be predictive of breeding performance at pasture. Yearling bulls have a bit of a learning curve when they are first turned out and so serving capacity tests have not been shown to be predictive of their performance.

All young bulls need a period of exposure to cycling females to develop their instincts as a breeder. It only takes a few cows; however, as we have utilized the serving capacity test to check out many 16 to 18 month old bulls that have been presented to us as substandard breeders and have proven that our testing method works.

Your bulls are one of your most important investments. Keep ‘em healthy, treat ‘em right and check them frequently. Most importantly, make sure he is doing his job!

I am frequently asked for my thoughts on using social networking websites such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter for marketing. Things change on the internet as fast as a kid with A.D.D. on a sugar rush. I usually count things on the internet in dog years. One day something is a good idea and the next there are ten more websites that have made it better. There are many websites that came before the ones I am writing about and cannot imagine that it will take long, for somebody to build a better mouse trap, so to speak.

The truth about this type of marketing and the following websites is, as with everything else in life there are advantages and disadvantages. This article will get into the uses and applications of different formats and not the nuts and bolts of how each website is used. All are easy to navigate, very intuitive and user friendly. I straddle the fence (being of the age where while I was able to take computer classes in junior high and high school), but remembering when our school got their first computer and graduated before they installed the internet. This allows me a unique view to technology because like most of our readers I did not grow up with computers and the internet from an early age, but like our younger readers, I was at an age when it was easily learned. The older I get the less I like new tricks.

Facebook, without a doubt, is the king of all social networking sites. Relatively old in terms of the internet, with seemingly no end in sight. Harvard undergraduate, Mark Zuckerberg, helped found Facebook in his dorm room as a way for Ivy League students to keep tabs on one another. As of July, they now have 500 million active users, which roughly translates to one in every 15 people on the planet using it.

There have been many articles written on privacy issues with Facebook, but I believe (very simply) that a: assume everything you put on the internet will be read by somebody you don't want to see it and b: if you are using Facebook as a marketing tool, there should not be pictures of you having a girls/guys gone wild weekend.

The advantages of Facebook are many. Firstly, as with most social websites they are free to join and use, with their income being derived from advertising. It is easy to sign up personally or to create a business page. Facebook's slogan is "Facebook helps you connect and share with the people in your life." and to a large extent that is what it does. Facebook summed up is a digital phonebook, with pictures that automatically calls your friends when you do something. It is easy to post photos of sale animals, write short messages, create event pages for sales and with constant news feeds it allows updates to be sent to all your friends the minute that something changes. When a friend clicks that they like something all their friends are immediately notified and so on.

works best with small teasers of information and is very unwieldy for much more. It works best with links to more in-depth information else where. Another problem breeders seem to have with Facebook is that even though you can run out to the pasture, take a picture on your cell phone and have it seen on Facebook, in a matter of seconds, quality still matters.

Professional quality photos are important any time you show your animal. Whether it be in a print ad, on a website or on Facebook the old line applies. "You never get a second chance at a first impression!"

One of the websites becoming more popular for marketing cattle is YouTube. When you boil it down, YouTube is just a video sharing website, which users can upload, share, and view videos. It was created by former Paypal employees in February 2005. YouTube is the dominant provider of online video in North America, with a market share of around 43 percent and more than 14 billion videos viewed in May 2010.

YouTube states that 24 hours of new videos are uploaded to the site every minute. It is estimated that by 2007 YouTube consumed as much bandwidth as the entire Internet in 2000. YouTube ranks as the third most visited website on the Internet, behind Google and Facebook.

YouTube's advantages are like Facebook, it is free to upload videos, but unlike Facebook, you do not have

The disadvantages of Facebook is that most of the users are under age thirty, which cuts off a large portion of most breeder customer bases. While it is becoming more popular in purebred circles as a marketing tool, it will be hard to gain commercial cattlemen's interest. It is relatively easy to gain friends within your social circle but it is almost impossible to use as a primary internet marketing tool. Secondly, it Herefords Today Winter 2011

to register to watch most content. With its simple interface, it is easy for anyone with an Internet connection to post a video that a worldwide audience could watch within a few minutes. Users can then comment on the video. The videos can be embedded in your website easily adding another tool to your current website.

2006, Twitter has gained popularity worldwide and currently has more than 175 million users. Twitter has 54 million monthly unique U.S. visitors. As of June 2010, about 65 million tweets are posted each day, equaling about 750 tweets sent each second.

Twitter's motto is "The best way to discover what’s new in your world." and in some worlds I am sure it is.

The advantages is it's free and easy to use like the others. Twitter is quick to setup and quick to update.

This makes short messages like "just had champion bull" effortless and allows for almost instant communication.

The disadvantages are few and apply more to all forms of social marketing but especially this one. As with photos professional quality videos will help in marketing your program, poor videos will only hurt it.

One of the things that are an advantage are also a disadvantage. YouTube videos are truly most valuable when used in conjunction with a website. Without a website or a sale catalogue to give further information, it is hard to show customers the whole picture. One of the other drawbacks to YouTube is that by my Ukrainian counting our industry is still about 35 to 40 percent on dial up. This makes all but the shortest videos frustrating or almost impossible to watch.

The problems with Twitter are that it is more difficult than Facebook to gain followers without actively pursuing them in some other format. Tweets, like texts, can be very short on detail and cause more confusion than clarity. With the current age demographic, you lose a large portion of customers because they don't text or are not used to receiving them.

Twitter is simply a blogging website that enables users to send and read other users' messages or tweets.

Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the user's profile page. Tweets are publicly visible by default; however, senders can restrict message delivery to their friends list. Users may subscribe to other users' tweets - this is known as following and subscribers are known as followers.

All users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, or through cell phones. Since its creation in

My conclusion is that these websites can be cutting edge marketing tools that have their places in complementing what some operations hope to accomplish with their marketing program. There is a time cost associated with the setup of these types of marketing, that in today's fast paced world can be hard to spend. Alone or even grouped together, they fall far short of tools such as websites but when added to a strong print and web based program, they can only add value.

By Chris Poley

What a difference a year can make! The “wish I had club” is full of new members; the “wish I would have believed and held on to my cows club,” and probably most fitting for many of you, the “wish I would have bought more cows when they were so cheap club.”

However, I’m a strong believer in looking to the future and letting the past be the past. Before you do, put on your sun glasses because the future looks as bright as ever. The strong and strengthening cattle market we have been experiencing is just the beginning. We are experiencing things today that have never before been experienced in history; a strong cattle market coupled with strong grain prices and a par dollar. As we all know in the agriculture industry our fate is determined by supply and demand, and for once it is working in our favor. The truly good news is that I do not see the supply exceeding the demand anytime soon; as you all know, it takes more than two and a half years to get a heifer into production and have her production hit the food chain. With the population of the world growing every day and the world economy strengthening, many forecasters are predicting demand to keep pace with production. One article I read recently said that the world’s food supply will need to increase by 70% in the next forty years. Now that’s exciting and a little scary all at the same time.

Having said all that, keep your head on straight and stick to the “when these cows have some value plan.”

Many producers have held onto a large number of cows and some bulls way past their prime productive life, gave them a second chance or a third or a fourth because there was no salvage in them.

They do now, so don’t let greedy thoughts take over from good management. Slaughter cows and bulls are at higher levels than they have ever been, so cut loose the dead weight to make room for more top producers. Many of you will say, “Well I have kept her this long and she is bred, so I’m not selling her,” and I agree with that. However, make a plan to have a dry field, as in a pasture with no bulls, and make sure it has good access so you can wean them early and take advantage of late summer hamburger trade.

Some of you may think, “Well I could breed them and stick them in an early bred cow sale in the fall and with this rising market, some sucker will buy them.” That is short sighted greed and does not help anyone; at sixty to seventy cents, kill them and take the marginal producers out of production and the whole industry gains, guess what, including you.

As we are coming into bull sale season, I have a few comments, as you begin to go bull shopping. I recently had a visit with a young producer who runs a mixed farming operation alone with his father. He was telling me how they used to scrounge around for the cheapest bulls of any quality they could find and were frustrated every time they sold their calves.

They nearly quit the business but decided to try something before they gave up totally. They went out that spring and bought the top bulls in the pens from the most reputable breeders in their area. Some six or seven years later, through the worst cattle market seen in years, they are pumped about the cow business. Their weights shot up immediately and now they have daughters of these bulls in prime production and when it comes time to sell, no more disappointed trips home from the sale barn. In fact order buyers and feedlots are now calling them to buy their calves, “and you know, they don’t even come out to look at them anymore, they buy them right over the phone.” Basically what I’m saying is be selective, buy the best bulls out of the pen and leave the bargain bulls behind; there is a market for those bulls every week. Also, deal with reputable breeders.

A pretty good rule of thumb is if a breeder has been having a successful sale for years, the bulls must be good and the service must be great. Let the success of their program become the success of yours.
