Cattlemen invest their own dollars in beef research Tracy Sakatch, Beef Cattle Research Council, www.beefresearch.ca
Each time a beef calf or cow is sold in Canada, a mandatory levy of $1 per head called the National Check-off is collected from the farmer or rancher. Canada’s national check-off generates approximately $8 million per year and is a critical source of revenue to fund programs that advance the industry, build strong markets for Canadian cattle and beef, and reduce cost of production. Research has shown that every National Check-off dollar invested delivers an average return of $9 in producer benefits. Provincial check-offs are sometimes confused with the
National Check-off, but the two levies are not related. Provincial check-off dollars are used to fund provincial cattle associations (i.e. the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association and Alberta Beef Producers) as well as the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association’s efforts. National Check-off funds are used by only two groups: Canada
Beef Inc. and the Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC). Canada Beef Inc. funds marketing and promotion activities to position Canadian beef as the premium beef product of choice for domestic and international markets. The BCRC funds research and development to find better and more efficient methods of producing high quality Canadian beef and cattle. The BCRC is led by a group of beef producers across Canada, and plays an important role in identifying the industry’s priority research issues. The BCRC uses the National Check-off dollars it receives to leverage additional funding, primary from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) in a collaboration under Growing Forward called the Beef Cattle Industry Science Cluster. This provides the funding needed to conduct scientific studies at universities and government research centres across the country that work toward the industry’s objectives. BCRC-funded research is primarily focused on: animal health and welfare, beef quality, food safety, feed grains and feed efficiency, and forage and grasslands. Through the Beef Science Cluster, which launched in 2009 and wrapped March 31, 2013, a total of $10.4 million in combined industry and government dollars was directed to 32 research programs. The second Cluster (under Growing Forward 2) will fund 26 research programs with $20 million in combined investments. Those research programs will be completed by March 31, 2018. Over the years, investments in beef, cattle and forage research have proven to be valuable on a number of fronts with several benefits to producers, processors and consumers. For example, reproductive efficiency increased from 86% in 2008 to 90% in 2012, which is valued at $176.1 million dollars to Canada’s beef industry. Steer carcass weights have increased 3.7% or 31 lbs to 873 lbs between 2008 and 2012, which currently represents a gain of about $56 per carcass
competitiveness and sustainability through improved consumer confidence and science-based regulation. Examples include the areas of antimicrobial use and resistance, and livestock transport. Antimicrobial use and resistance have received considerable negative, inaccurate attention from the media, activist groups and legislators throughout North America. Research has demonstrated that fewer than 1% of the antimicrobial drugs used in feedlot cattle are of very high importance in human health. This explains why 2% or less of E. coli samples isolated from feeder cattle, cattle entering abattoirs and retail beef have resistance to these drugs. The vast majority of antimicrobials used in cattle are not used in human health at all. This information is continually used in communications with policy makers and government. Unfounded concerns around livestock transport lead to calls for tighter regulation, reduced hours in transit or increased frequency and length of feed, water and rest stops. Research funded by the BCRC and conducted by AAFC in collaboration with transport companies demonstrated that
over 99.9% of cattle reach their destination without any signs of injury or stress. This research appears to have had a positive impact, with indications that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is moving towards outcome-based regulations in this area. In addition finding innovative ways to lower on-farm costs and bring higher returns for cattlemen, research will continue to be important for informing sound regulation and advocacy areas such as food safety, animal health practices, animal care and the environment. Research will also play an increasingly important role in the area of expanding beef exports and trade, to inform science-based regulations and trade agreements.

Canadian Beef Breeds Council
Submitted by CBBC Executive Director- Michael Latimer Canada is known around the world for its world-class beef. As a nation we export a large percentage of the beef we produce so it is important to protect this image in order to maintain or increase market share. There is a lot of competition for global consumers from nations that have a similar reputation. They have access to similar genetic selection tools, animal nutrition, farm management programs, animal health technology and their environment is every bit as clean. So the question is how do we compete when in most cases we produce a higher priced product. There is not an easy answer, but we need to work toward our advantages. The national cow-herd in Canada is primarily based on British and Continental breeds which have a higher quality and more tender meat when compared to the Bos Indicus (eared or Brahman type). They are also faster maturing, highly fertile, and excellent mothers. We also have access to feed grains and forages with high nutritional content that allows our genetics to be expressed to the fullest extent. Although our cold weather is often discomforting, it can also be an advantage for cattle production. Except in extreme cold temperatures, cattle thrive in cooler weather and in conjunction to a few other factors, produce an excellent beef product that can’t be easily replicated anywhere else in the world. We need to maintain this competitive advantage and utilize available technology to its fullest extent. This will allow us to open new markets and create opportunities for Canadian cattle, beef and the producers themselves. There is a great deal to be optimistic about in the cattle industry in both the short and long term.

EPD definitions
What does that mean? Definitions EPD (Expected Progeny Differences): are expressions of the relative genetic merit of beef cattle for various traits. EPDs are used to compare the predicted progeny performance between two bulls (or females) within a breed, regardless of age or herd location. EPDs are expressed in the actual units of measure for a given trait. Interim EPDs (indicated as PE+): are calculated using a calf’s sire’s and dam’s National EPDs plus the calf’s own performance data. Possible Change Table — EPDs are predictions of an animal’s breeding value for a given trait. As with any prediction, there is a margin of error, or possible change, associated with an EPD. When the accuracy is low, this margin for error is high. As more information (i.e. progeny data) becomes available, the margin of error becomes smaller. Percentile Table — used to quickly rank a sire or dam within the breed for a given trait. ACC (Accuracy): the reliability that can be placed on the EPD. An accuracy of close to 1.0 indicates higher reliability. Accuracy is impacted by the number of progeny and ancestral records included in the analysis. Active Sires/Dams — animals that have at least one progeny with a weaning weight recorded in the past two years. Black/Red Carrier — an animal whose coat colour is black, but carries the recessive gene for red coat colour. ...................................................................................................... (BW) Birth Weight EPD: expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny compared to that of other sires. (CED) Calving Ease Direct: the average difference in ease with which a sire’s calves will be born when he is bred to first calf heifers. The higher the number the more probability that his calves will be born unassisted. (CEM) Calving Ease Maternal: is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births with a higher value indicating greater probability of unassisted births in first-calf daughters. It predicts the average ease with which a sire’s daughters will calve as first-calf heifers when compared to daughters of other sires. (CW) Carcass Weight: expressed in pounds, this EPD predicts differences in the average hot carcass weight in progeny. This EPD is calculated using birth weight, weaning weight and yearling weight EPDs as well as any carcass data available. (FAT) Fat/Back Fat: expressed in inches, is a predictor of the differences in back fat thickness at the 12th rib (as measured between the 12th and 13th ribs) of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. The higher the EPD the more back fat expected on a sires calves. (HPG) Heifer Pregnancy: the percent probability in a bull’s daughters’ ability to conceive and calve as two year olds. Just like the stayability EPD, heifer pregnancy EPDs are expressed in terms of a percentage difference. For example, two heifer pregnancy EPDs, 5 and 10, differ by 5%. Daughters of the bull with the EPD of 10 are 5% more likely to conceive than daughters of the other bull. (MARB) Marbling: a prediction of future
progeny’s performance for carcass marbling scores. This EPD incorporates both ultrasound and carcass data. The higher the EPD the more intramuscular fat expected in the rib eye of a sire’s calves. (MILK) Milk: is an indicator of milking ability in daughters. It represents the differences in weaning weights of calves due to the amount of milk produced by their mothers. It is expressed in pounds of calf weaned. The higher the EPD the more weaning pounds a sires daughters will add to her calves via milk. (PE) Parental Average: indicated as PE, is an average of a calf’s sire’s and dam’s National EPDs. These have minimal accuracy as they do not incorporate the calf’s own performance. (REA) Ribeye Area: expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. The larger the EPD the larger the expected rib eye area. (SC) Scrotal Circumference: expressed in centimetres, is a predictor of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to that of other sires. Scrotal Circumference is an indicator of both growth and male fertility. Larger scrotal size is related to increased sperm production and semen quality, and in daughters’ younger age to puberty, younger age to calving and higher pregnancy rate. (STAY) Stayability: the percent probability of daughters staying in production to at least 6 years of age. Stayability EPDs for bulls are the prediction of the genetic differences between their daughters probability of staying in production in a herd to at least the age of 6 years. Given the primary emphasis on pregnancy in most herds, stayability is a measure of sustained fertility. The higher the EPD the more likely a sire’s daughter will remain in production in a herd past 6 years. (TM) Total Maternal: is a combination of the weaning weight and milk EPDs. It is calculated as: 1/2 Weaning Weight EPD + Milk EPD = Total Maternal. This EPD represents the differences in weaning weights between calves due to mothering and milking ability of their dams. (WW) Weaning Weight: expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires. Weaning weight is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning (205 days of age). The calf’s growth during this period is influenced by its own ability to grow plus its mother’s maternal abilities. The higher the EPD, the heavier, on average, the calves of a sire will be at weaning. (YW) Yearling Weight: expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires. The higher the EPD, the heavier, on average, the calves of a sire will be at yearling. (YG) Yield Grade: expressed in USDA yield grade score, this EPD predicts differences in carcass yield grade score to be expected from progeny. This EPD is a ratio or summary of the rib eye area and fat EPDs. The lower the EPD, the closer to USDA grade 1 the sire’s calves will grade (grade 1, having the biggest rib eye area to lowest fat ratio, is the preferred grade).

Canadian Salers The Balanced Breed Salers are considered to be one of the oldest European breeds, whose roots can be traced to 16,500-year-old cave drawings found near the town of Salers in the South Central region of France, the Auvergne, in the heart of the volcanic area of the Massif Central. The rough terrain, poor soil and harsh climate combined with the area’s isolation contributed to a genetically pure breed of cattle with bred-in range ability to thrive almost entirely on native grasses in the summer and roughage diet in winter. The Salers breed in North America has evolved into an outstanding maternal beef breed. The cattle are usually solid red or black, and are naturally horned but polled bloodlines have been developed. Salers females possess a larger than average pelvic area and calve easily to the service of larger terminal cross sires. They are excellent mothers with good milk production, are very fertile and re-breed quickly. Salers bulls are aggressive breeders and sire calves of moderate birth weight, with a strong will to live and good growth. Salers cross steers perform well in feedlots and have exceptional carcass yield and quality. These traits have made Salers the choice of many commercial cattlemen striving to maximize production without increasing management or labour. Salers are a balanced breed, which is optimum in all aspects of beef production. Salers were first imported into Canada in 1972 with the Salers Association of Canada being established in 1973. Canada continues to be an excellent source for Salers genetics worldwide.

Canadian Hereford Association – Percentiles for Active Hereford Sires Averages and Percentile Breakdowns - (www.hereford.ca)
A Percentile table is used to show the relative ranking of an animal within the Hereford breed. Three broad categories are presented for comparison. Active Sires are those bulls that have sired at least 1 calf recorded in the last 2 years. Active Dams are those cows with calves in the last 2 years and provide a comparison for females in use in your cowherd. Calves are those animals born in the last 2 years and allow for comparison of yearling and 2 year old animals to the population. For animals with EPDs that fall between the published ranges, use the lower value. For example: An active Sire with a YW EPD of 87.0 would rank in the top 25% of the breed for YW
Active Sires – Averages & Percentile Breakdown. Number (Num) is the number of active sires evaluated for each trait. r001700641

Purebred Registered Limousin Black & Red, Polled Yearlings & Two Year Olds
Family raised. Pasture proven.
Our customers are saying: We have used Limousin bulls since 1986 on 150 head of crossbred cows. The results have worked well providing a solid color and fleshier calves with bigger butts. The longevity of the Limousin bulls & females are a very important part of our program. The Limousin bulls are used on both heifers & cows with no problems. ~ Erwin Gaal, Sangudo Visit
