January 27, 2015 Submitted by: Michael Latimer, Executive Director The Canadian Beef Breeds Council is proud to have been involved in the development of the National Beef Strategic Plan. This project is an industry led initiative with no one group leading the charge. Often the beef industry is criticized for not working together, but this is an example of how industry groups can work together in a collaborative manner with an end goal of benefiting each sector of the beef industry. The national industry groups involved are the Canadian Cattlemen Association (CCA), Canada Beef Inc (CBI), Canadian Meat Council (CMC), National Cattle Feeders Association (NCFA), Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC) and the Canadian Beef Breeds Council (CBBC). In addition to these groups there has been considerable input from all ten provincial beef associations. There has also been communication and input from provincial and federal governments, who support the initiative. The National Beef Strategic Plan is comprised of four pillars: Beef Demand, Competitiveness, Productivity and Connectivity. These pillars are then further broken down into focus areas and respective organizations responsible for implementing the action. This also allows for the identification of gaps or duplication of services within the industry. This plan
is an assessment of current industry activities as well as new initiatives, with realistic achievable goals that will impact on the industry. Details of the plan are available on the website www. beefstrategy.com. The purebred industry has been tasked with two primary objectives under the plan. First is that we continue to source international and domestic markets for live cattle, semen and embryos. This injection of dollars creates a more profitable genetics industry with an increased capacity to work toward the second task. The second task is that we need to continue to develop improved genetic lines that produce both functional cattle and those that meet the needs of various end users. This isn’t to propose that one genetic line will suit all markets, but that we do need to have the genetics and cattle in place to access available markets and not lose out on an opportunity to our global competitors. Even in some of the most exciting times in the history of the beef industry, there are some very real challenges ahead. It is as important to have a plan in the good times as in the bad. I encourage you to take note of the National Beef Strategic Plan as it is rolled out over the next few months. It is important for producers to be engaged and provide grass roots feed back to industry groups like the Canadian Beef Breeds Council as we need your input to make informed decisions.

Looking Ahead
GREG BOWIE
CHAIR, ALBERTA BEEF PRODUCERS
The high prices of the past few years and the anticipated growth in the demand for beef globally are creating enticing opportunities for cattle and beef producers. There is a real risk in placing too much importance on the events of a single year, but there are clear signs that 2014 will be viewed as a year of significant change for the industry. Our task in this coming year will be to make those changes work for the benefit of producers and the industry. The current shortfall in industry funding is aggravated by reductions in government funding for industry initiatives and increased government requirements for matching industry funds on projects. For industry organizations such as
Alberta Beef Producers (ABP), the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA), Canada Beef Inc. (CBI), and the Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC), industry funding is provided by check-offs (service charges and levies) on marketed cattle. The National Levy has been at the same level ($1) for over 20 years and does not provide enough funding to meet the objectives for CBI and BCRC in the newly unveiled National Beef Strategy. In Alberta, provincial service charge refunds cost ABP and CCA over $2 million per year and place significant limits on the policy, communications, marketing, production and research work we can support. As we move into this year, there are many exciting opportunities for our industry.
In addition to our provincial initiatives, ABP has been an active participant in the development of the National Beef Strategy and an enthusiastic member of the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef. We need to address the industry funding issues so that ABP and our partners can continue our work in these vital areas this year. Change always brings challenges, but we are confident that ABP can adapt to these changes and continue to work effectively for cattle and beef producers in Alberta.

2015 Peace Country Bull Sales •
After years of struggling with low prices following BSE in 2003, producers are looking into 2015 cautiously optimistic about strong cattle prices. We at PCBFA believe that with the change in momentum of the industry, producers are looking to improve upon what they are already doing on their operations, as currently there is money to be made in the cattle industry. One constant question PCBFA has been hearing is, “how long will the strong cattle prices last?” Not being market analysts ourselves, we rely on the experts for the answers. The general consensus from market outlooks we have heard is that 2015 is a year to remain cautiously optimistic for continuing strong price but we will likely see some price volatility. Providing market outlooks for our members is a part of PCBFA’s extension programming, and we will be hearing from marketing expert Ryan Copithorne at our AGM on February 20th, on his outlook for cow-calf producers heading into 2015. We have seen that producers are engaged and excited about the future of the beef industry and are willing to invest it. We have had increased attendance at our events and increased interest in programs like Growing Forward 2. This tells us that producers
are investing in not only infrastructure and technology to improve their operations, but also investing their time into learning about new research and innovative ideas that is applicable to their operations. The staff and directors at the Peace Country Beef and Forage Association are excited for what lies ahead, for cattle producers and for the association alike. PCBFA is in an expansion phase with the addition of a cropping program, and we are looking forward to integrating the program into our current extension and project work to benefit all producers across the Peace. 2015 has been declared the International Year of Soil, and PCBFA has some great extension events and applied research projects planned that are aligned with learning more about this undervalued resource. Strong cattle prices in 2014 have so far continued into 2015, and in a time where the oil and gas industries are struggling, it definitely appears to be a good time to be a rancher! Watch for our upcoming events in local newspapers, on our website, www. peacecountrybeef.ca and follow us on Facebook and Twitter! Membership renewals are fast approaching, so please contact either of our offices if you’d like to join.
HAPPY TRAILS!

Sired by our new Red Shooter son, TRI K ENDZONE 6B has exceeded all expectations in the heifer pen and mothered by a moderate framed and great uddered red stubby cow. He combines great calving ease with loads of performance. EPDs put him in the top 20% in calving ease and top 4 and 5% in weaning weight and yearling weight. He can be used on both heifers and cows. A bull whose future we are very excited to be a part of Homo polled test pending.

At the packer • Matthew Heleniak • Manager/Cattle buyer Norwich Packers Inc We love limousin cattle for their cutability. The carcasses have less fat, less bone and more meat.

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 Hereford Association – Percentiles for Active Hereford Calves 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

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.
