The world under 17 hockey championships are returning to the Peace and while tickets are already a hot commodity - single-game tickets now available. This year’s edition of Canada’s junior showcase of the best 16-year-old players takes to the ice November 5-11, with all medal games going at Dawson Creek’s Encana Events Centre. Thursday November 2 sees three Canadian teams in exhibition action, with Canada B taking on Finland, Canada W matched up against Russia, and Canada R will take on the US of A at 7pm at the Encana Events Centre. “Things are well underway, and we’re excited to host another international event at the building and working with our partners in Fort St. John,” said Ryan MacIvor, general manager of the Encana Events Centre. From the minor hockey side, Hockey Canada’s Barry Raynard sees the extra events as part of legacy-building.
“From our side as a committee, we’re extremely pleased to be a part of this, and part of the legacy that these types of international events has provided us,” Raynard said. One of the events going on is the female hockey jamboree. Ninety girls throughout the Peace Region will attend the event, now in its fifth year. Olympian Becky Keller Duke will be attending the event to help coach the girls. Others will be participating in the We Are Coaches program, which is for midget aged and older females to take an introduction to coaching. The girls will then volunteer their time to help coach and coordinate the female jamboree. There is also the minor hockey Goodwill Exchange, which will see teams from Hockey North face off in the Peace to play exhibition games against local teams from Dawson Creek. Single-game tickets are available to be purchased online at www.tigerboxofficeplus.ca,and www.hockeycanada.ca/wu17

The Northern Horizon, October 27, 2017
BI helps get cattle out of fire start to this year’s fire season, 1,189 fires have burned across nearly 1.1 million hectares, or 11,000 square kilometres. Many “fires of note” (those that threaten public safety or are highly visible) since early July have been in prime cattle country throughout the Cariboo (Williams Lake region) and Kamloops region and lately in the southeast district.
Canadian Cattlemen Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health has purchased a portable cattle handling system to help ranchers affected by the ongoing wildfires in British Columbia’s interior. The equipment includes a tub and chute on wheels and freestanding range panels, six feet high and 24 feet long, heavy enough to handle range cattle, says Maury Grant, Boehringer Ingelheim’s rep in British Columbia. He and Miles Crandall, the company’s producer liaison at Ponoka, Alta., got the ball rolling on this project as a way to help ranchers gather their cattle for processing or shipping this fall and thank TEAM Auctions for also helping out with the venture. This is a stop-gap measure to give ranchers time to rebuild proper facilities,” says Grant, who is working with ranchers to co-ordinate moves from ranch to ranch. There’s no cost to borrow the system other than moving it on to the next place. At the end of August, the system was in use for the first time at the Chilco Ranch near Hanceville, west of Williams Lake. The Williams Lake and Clinton areas have been the hardest hit, Grant says, but there’s no telling how many ranches and cattle have been or will be affected because wildfires are still burning. As of September 2, the B.C. government reported 161 fires burning in the province. Since the April 1
Grant says some ranches have been hit more than once when the initial fire blazed through so fast that it left fuel behind to feed a turnaround burn. Barns and corrals were the first to go up in flames because all the effort had to go into saving homes. Some producers eventually lost everything.
We are here to serve you!
“The reality of all that’s been lost is really just settling in as ranchers get out on the range to further assess damages,” Grant adds. Fences and pens taken for granted because they’ve been there for generations were quite adequate with repairs made as needed. Now they have to be replaced. Grass is gone for the season due to continuing hot, dry conditions and some ranchers have been feeding their winter hay supplies. Some have lost stackyards, too. here’s no telling when people will get a clear breath of relief because of dry thunderstorms with lightning strikes that ignite new fires. These fires can get into roots and peaty areas to smolder underground only to flare up miles away or again next spring. If the Fort McMurray, Alta. wildfire is any indication, it could be a year or more before some of the B.C. wildfires can be officially declared dead. That fire started May 1, 2016, burning nearly 6,000 square kilometres and was deemed extinguished on August 2 this year. Wildfires are officially out when heat coming from the ground is no longer detected.

Global pulse market update
Breakfast Brief BULLISH GRAIN PRICES (JUST NOT RIGHT NOW) Grain markets this morning are moving higher this morning, despite a firmer U.S. Dollar. The American Greenback is catching some legs thanks to the U.S. Senate approving a new budget. The market views the budget as a positive because it’s a sign that things are starting to get done in Washington. Passing a budget also paves the road for Trump’s slightly divisive tax reform which has been labeled by Democrats as “Robin Hood in reverse.”
Overall, the market continues to monitor harvest activity in North America and weather maps in South America. For the latter, La Nina continues to be on the mind of many as multiple agencies put the likelihood that we see an event at roughly 60%. The National Weather Service recently called for above-average temperatures across most of the U.S. through January. Coupled with the recent rains, conditions are looking pretty decent heading into the 2018/19 crop year in most of America (more on this later). Of course, we’re hoping for a lot of moisture in the US Northern Plains and southern regions of Western Canada. Without it, the market might get a little more bullish on crop prospects in 2018/19. Troubling Canadian Pulses Demand for Canadian pulses continues to be slow. According to the Western Producer, this is namely thanks to slower sales to India. In fact, the Indian government is considering putting an import tax on yellow peas to prop up domestic demand. Prices in the second-most populated country in the world are dramatically lower, thanks to record production last year and likely the second-largest crop ever this year. Further, Black Sea competition is getting pretty serious. Peas from the likes of Ukraine and Russia are being sold and delivered to India as much as CAD $50 per metric tonne cheaper than Canadian product can get there. And that doesn’t include the new cost of fumigating at the point of origin, now that India hasn’t extended the fumigation exemption for Canadian pulses. As such, every analyst and their mother expects Canadian inventories of pulses to grow. This trend is not bullish for pulse prices. Marlene Boersch thinks that thanks to the lower prices and lower demand will keep Canadian farmers at roughly 30% sold going into the new calendar year. Usually, they’re closer to 60%. We started advocating for yellow peas sales back in September. There still is some action happening on those, as well as all colors of lentils on the FarmLead Marketplace. Accordingly, we think it’s appropriate to consider posting 10-20% of your pulses’ production on FarmLead today.
A report last week stated that India’s government will immediately sell 550,000 tonnes of its 1.8 million tonne buffer stock of pulse crop supplies. Part of this was accumulated last year to fight rising domestic prices, while the rest was acquired at government farm support pricing when the market crashed. Misconstrued trade action This is a good example of where trade action in pulse crops can be misconstrued as actual consumptive demand. In fact, it was simply front-loaded ownership - a business decision to repopulate governmentowned inventory. This disposal process by the Indian government is now a business decision to blow-it-out because the terminology of use in welfare schemes was referenced. There is no mention of pulse type in the in-
ventory or which one will be sold, but I recently read that red lentil buffer inventory was thought to be about 135,000 tonnes of the total. This news offers some explanation why the broad offshore pulse market remains lethargic and passive. It explains why repair of pulse market conditions will likely be a longer term process and doesn’t occur overnight. Internal disposal This 550,000 tonne internal disposal in India is an important step because it doesn’t matter who uses it or how it gets used – it just needs to get consumed and pushed off the books. The process should expedite respective speed of usage given its low price and bring the point of supply/demand into better balance sooner.
Yesterday’s Grain Markets Action As Garrett mentioned in Grain Markets Today, December 2017 corn continues to flirt with $3.50 on the Chicago Board of Trade. Yesterday, the November 2017 canola futures contract closed above CAD $500 per metric tonne for the first time in nearly two months. Part of the reason for this though is the roll of November holdings into the January contract (the former is set to expire soon). Rapeseed values in Europe continue to trade sideways with ODA calling the lack of volatility “unsurprising.” However, they also note that it’s likely that Europe will import more canola/rapeseed this year. You’d think that this would be bullish for canola values in Canada or Australia. However, the problem is that Canadian and Australian canola values are too expensive today to make imports work. As such, the likes of Ukraine become a preferred option. Speaking of trade, US export sales last week were announced yesterday and corn and wheat did well, but soybeans came in below expectations. As reported by Allendale, to date, US corn sales are tracking 5% behind the 5-year average for this time of year. Comparably, the USDA’s total marketing year goal is about 6% above the 5-year average. For soybeans, US export sales are sitting at about 4% below the 5-year average. The USDA is expecting 2017/18 American soybean exports to climb 26% year-over-year though. Changing 2018/19 Acreage Estimates Informa came out with some acreage estimates yesterday for the 2018/19 crop year. For corn, the firm thinks that there will be 90.5 million acres planted in the US. That would be about 1.4 million tonnes lower than what the USDA is saying the 2017 crop will end up at. Informa took those 1.4 million corn acres and flipped them into soybeans. They think that there will be 90.3 million acres of soybeans seeded across America in 2018. That’s 1.3 million acres higher than the 2016/17 crop, as per the USDA’s estimate. One of the factors that could influence corn acres next year would be ethanol demand. The problem is that there remains a lot of uncertainty over its direction as the EPA has indicated it’s looking to change some things. President Trump has told the EPA to “boost biofuels” after the American ag / Big Corn community were up in arms over proposed changes. However, our view is that regardless of what the EPA decides, it looks like ethanol’s demand for corn is going to stay flat or possibly increase. As such, the University of Missouri’s 2018/19 US corn acreage estimate of 93.2 million acres discussed here two weeks ago might be more realistic. Mind you, if China continues to import soybeans like it’s been doing, there’s certainly an opportunity for soybean acres to compete again in 2018. And this is across all of the United States of America, but Canada as well. However, a few analysts are thinking more long-term: soybean production in China continues to grow. The problem, from my view, is that the growth of said soybean harvests in China will be unable to keep up with China’s demand for meat (and soybeans get made into meal which feeds said meat products like hogs and cows). Ultimately, I continue to be bullish on oilseeds in the long-term (the next 5-10 years) for many reasons, including my point on China.

A better harvest.

Our local agriculture federation has a machinery co-op. It’s especially useful for smaller farms that might need particular pieces of equipment for just a few days or weeks out of the year. You get the use of a relatively new piece of equipment at an affordable price. About 40 pieces of equipment are available through the co-op: round baler, fertilizer spreader, manure spreader, blades, backhoes, round bale tubers, no-till seeder, hay rakes, etc. We take the anticipated ownership period of each piece of equipment and estimate usage, repairs and salvage value to come up with a rental fee. Some rents are per day and some are per acre, whatever makes sense. Local equipment dealers have been very helpful with the program and help with the costing.
We have two professional accountants with a lot of experience on staff to run financial models. I had never before realized the full value of that skill set. For example, a waste heat project only goes ahead if you have numbers that allow good decisions. It’s also important to run a sensitivity analysis to show financial projections if some of the underlying assumptions were to change. One of our best opportunities is in value added packaging, but you need to do the math to know the pricing points that make it work. Based on experience, we have a pretty good idea on what we need to charge, but financial modelling gives us a lot more confidence. Grow corn as a feed crop
Produced by: SeCan Product/Campaign Name: SeCan AAC Redwater Date Produced: October 2016
Our main method of reducing costs is to spend more money up front to grow corn rather than other less expensive feed crops. Because of the growth we can achieve, the cost per tonne of production is less and, more importantly, the cost per day for an overwintering cow is substantially less. Corn is a crop that responds to inputs. We spend the money to grow a big crop and we’ve had good success with it over the last four or five years as a way to reduce costs. While growing corn has a much higher cost per acre compared to alternate feed sources, our cost per day for an overwintered cow has gone down dramatically, roughly half of what the cost was with other feed sources.
With your help dignity is within reach for all.

Cattle herds growing as farm numbers fall
The cattle industry isn’t immune to agriculture’s production concentration trends. “Whether you look at the number of hog producers, chicken producers, dairy, grain, we’ve just got fewer farms and bigger farms, and I don’t think cattle is any different,” says Brian Perillat, manager and senior analyst with Canfax, the market analysis division of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. While Statistics Canada’s 2016 Census of Agriculture revealed a 5.9 per cent decrease in all farms across the country versus 2011, Canada’s largest cattle producing province, Alberta, experienced a reduction of just over 10 per cent of its cow/calf producers between 2011 and 2016. That decline means herds are growing, says Herman Simons, Al-
berta Agriculture livestock farm business specialist. “In the last 15 years, the average herd size has increased by 50 per cent from 63 cows to 95 cows per farm,” he says. Profitability Margins per animal aren’t as big as they once were, and it takes more critical size to create a viable operation, says Perillat, who doesn’t see the trend changing. Simons agrees. “The difficulty with agriculture... is that commodity prices do not seem to be trending the same way as costs, so the only option farmers have is to increase size,” Simons says. “As long as nothing structurally is changing in the way we compensate farmers, then size will continue to increase.”

Analysis: the economics of preg-checking By Beef Cattle Research Council The major economic benefit of preg-checking is the money saved by not wintering open cows. However, it has been noted that pregchecking is not always worthwhile, as the increased revenue due to higher prices for cows in the spring and the additional weights put on in the winter could more than offset winter feeding costs. The economics of preg-checking depends on the cull cow market price, the management system employed by the producer, feed and overhead costs, and veterinary costs. As market dynamics change every year, it is important to consider the current market situation when making preg-checking decisions. Alberta cow prices experienced an impressive rally in the first half of 2017 but the seasonal decline has been sharp since June. Cow prices are under pressure this summer due to cattle supplies, dry pasture conditions in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan, and low exports to the U.S. On the other hand, the sharp decline in beef imports from Australia could result in stronger demand for domestic lean trim products and support cow prices this fall. Using the Beef Cattle Research Council’s (BCRC) Economics of
Pregnancy Testing Beef Cattle Model, the potential economic gain or loss can be estimated for the following three options: Preg-checking and culling cows in the fall, Preg-checking and feeding open cows separately, or Not preg-checking and feeding cows over winter under different overwintering management systems and price scenarios. Basic cow herd information and fall cull cow prices are needed for the calculation. The 2005-14 cull cow price data used in the model has been updated to the current 10-year (2007-16) average for this analysis. The analysis assumes a 160-day overwinter feeding period and a 7.7 per cent herd open rate. The assumptions on cost and average daily gain (ADG) for the overwintering systems are shown in Table 1 below. For the separate feeding scenario, the cost of production is assumed at $1.90/cow/day, ADG of 1.6 lbs., and a 140-day feeding period. Regarding cow prices this fall, cow supplies typically trend larger moving into fall, and bottom in the fourth quarter. The decline from summer peak to the fall low over the last five years has averaged 15 per cent and implies cow prices around $95/cwt this fall. Given the
Royal LePage Valley Realty 10024 – 101st Street Peace River, Alberta T8S 1S6
big swing in prices this year, the seasonal decline could be steeper. A 20 per cent drop would bring prices to $90/cwt around the fiveyear average low, and a 25 per cent decline would bring prices closer to the 2016 low of $85/cwt. Over the past five years, the seasonal decline had ranged from 16-33 per cent, with 2014 being the only exception as prices traded counter-seasonally higher in the fall. Cow prices have increased from November to March in nine out of the past ten years (2007-16), with the exception being 2015. The percentage increase ranged from 14 to 55 per cent with an average of 27 per cent. Based on the long-term price seasonality and the above assumptions, the model generally projects economic losses for the “preg-check and cull in the fall” option compared to the “no preg-check and cull in spring” option. For the swathed barley and standing corn grazing winter management scenarios, the model projects economic gains for the “preg-check and feed separately” option compared to the “no preg-check and cull in spring” option Higher cull cow prices favour not preg-checking and culling in spring over preg-checking and culling in
the fall as every additional pound will be worth more. It should be noted that the projections above are based on a 27 per cent price increase from November to March. If cow prices are flat during this fall to spring 2018, preg-checking and culling early could be worthwhile. The above scenarios show that feeding cull cows separately provides the greatest economic benefit this year for the swathed barley and standing corn grazing management systems. The gains are driven by the higher price in the spring, ADG of the separate feeding group, and the length of the feeding period. Changing these assumptions could result in a different conclusion. For example, if the separate feeding period was shortened to 90 days, even with an increased ADG to 1.8 lbs., the separate feeding option is projected to result in economic losses compared to the no preg-check option in all scenarios. The BCRC’s Advanced Economics of Pregnancy Testing Beef Cattle Model provides the flexibility of entering your own overwintering costs, ADG, length of winter feeding period and other variables.

Research on the Record with Reynold Bergen Well-managed swath grazing has well-known economic benefits for producers. But research results from a study funded by the Beef Science Cluster showed that it can have environmental benefits as well. Dr. Vern Baron and coworkers at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Lacombe Research Station recently published Swath grazing triticale and corn compared to barley and a traditional winter feeding method in central Alberta (Canadian Journal of Plant Science 94:1125-1137) and Effect of winter feeding systems on farm greenhouse gas emissions (Agricultural Systems 148:28-37).

What they did: A five-year winter feeding study was conducted in central Alberta (200809 through 2012-13). Angus x Hereford and Red Angus x Charolais cows were fed barley silage, barley grain, barley straw and hay in confinement, or swath grazed on triticale or corn for 120 days. Confined cows were fed once daily and had a heated waterbowl. Swath-grazed cows were restricted to three or four days of feed at a time using electric fences; they also had an all-season waterer, bedding pack and windbreak. Forage quality was monitored weekly (confined feeding) or monthly (swath grazing); protein levels were adequate for all diets, and fibre levels and digestibility were similar. All production costs were calculated and cow weight, body condition score and ultrasound back-fat depth were monitored for all five years.

What they learned: Feed production: Growing feed for the confinement-fed control cows was always costlier than raising triticale for swath grazing. Corn was more expensive to grow than triticale, and at least as costly as the feed used in the confined treatment in three out of five years. But because yardage costs were lower for swath grazing than for confined feeding, average total feed costs for triticale ($0.78/cow/day) and corn grazing ($1.05/ cow/day) were much lower than for confined feeding ($1.98/cow/day).

Greenhouse gas emissions were 11 per cent lower for the triticale swath grazing and 24 per cent lower for the corn swath grazing compared to the confined feeding treatment. Nitrous oxide emissions from manure were slightly higher for swath grazing than confined feeding. But confined feeding had slightly higher carbon dioxide emissions (from burning diesel to haul feed, process feed, feed cows, and haul manure) and much higher manure methane emissions than the swath-grazed treatments.

Drive Away Hunger provides over 7.2 million meals Farm Credit Canada (FCC), along with its industry partners, participating schools and volunteers, have provided over 7.2 million meals for food banks nationwide, far surpassing this year’s goal for FCC Drive Away Hunger. “Every meal is a step toward a better future for someone who truly needs a helping hand,” said Michael Hoffort, FCC president and CEO, in announcing the results of this year’s collection in support of Canada’s food banks. “We are proud of those who work everyday to produce food, partners who donate and help us collect food, and of those who volunteer at food banks and school meal programs across Canada,” Hoffort said. “We are all connected to the common cause of reducing hunger in our communities and making a difference in Canadians’ lives.” FCC Drive Away Hunger involves driving a tractor and trailer through communities to collect food and cash donations for food banks across the country. During the week of October 9, FCC teams drove tractors through communi-
ties in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia. Partners are a major contributor to the success of FCC Drive Away Hunger. Platinum partners were BDO Canada, The Meat Factory Limited, Courchesne Larose, Chenail Fruits and Legumes and Dedicated Harvesters. Eight national partners also played an important role by committing cash and collecting donations in helping FCC achieve its goal: Parrish and Heimbecker Limited, Windset Farms, Co-op, BroadGrain Commodities Inc., SWT, Ray-Mont Logistics and Nutrigroupe. In addition to its annual food collection tractor tour, FCC contributed a total of $100,000 in support of food programs offered at 100 schools across Canada. In September, each school received $1,000 to feed hungry children at school. “We’re especially thankful to the students who took the time to collect items from home to donate to their local food banks,” Hoffort said. “Their generosity and caring toward those in need is truly inspiring.”

Is your horse ready to go to war? I usually ask the clinic participants what they would like to get out of the clinic; is there anything they are hoping to get help with. Many times the answer is that they want to get a better relationship or partnership with their horse. I think that sounds good, I do as well. I hear it said, but don’t often see anyone trying to have much of a relationship. At a recent clinic down in Kentucky it donned on me what was missing. People needed a different picture of what a relationship could be. That is when I came up with war and going to the mall. Here is the story. I asked the people I was sitting with, to think about the relationship they would
have with someone that they meet at the mall on Wednesdays each week for coffee and a visit. Then think about what kind of relationship they would have with someone else that they had been to war with. Someone that they had hid in a hole with, the enemy all around, bullets flying by, carried each other to safety when one was wounded, and doctored those wounds. Now compare the differences in the depth of relationship between the two. Heres another example: what if you played on a team that won a World Championship. The practice time, wins and losses, shared highs and lows, and early morning practices compared to going to the mall for coffee. There is a very big difference in the relationships. I made the examples extreme because honestly there is that much difference available with people

and their horses. Suppose you were the captain of the Navy Seals and you asked your team to take the mountain. The enemy is dug in, just waiting. You told them some of us are not going to make it, but we need to take the mountain, and your team said “Yes Sir.” They trusted your judgment and would do what ever you asked. That’s quite a relationship. So I continued on in the conversation, and asked the folks are you preparing yourself and your horse for the mountain or the mall? Some people want to be able to ride on their own, away from other horses or just get out of their yard. Or be the top Reiner in Canada or win the world in Eventing. What is a mountain for some might go unnoticed by another.
horse are you getting ready in case you want to go to the mountain, or are you staying close to Tim Hortons at the mall where its comfortable and the donuts are good. There is an unbelievable amount of wonderful out there but it is not going to fall out of the sky. If you want to go to the mountain start putting in the effort that it would require, and enjoy a relationship much deeper than coffee at the mall. Prepare the horse mentally and emotionally. Every time you are with them, stretch yourself and the horse. Staying comfortable to long is a dangerous place to hang out. The horse gets bored and doesn’t even want to go to the mall. Have fun, and enjoy the time you and your horse spend together. - Glenn

Low stress weaning techniques to improve calf health By Dr. Christa Harder Fall brings the season of cattle coming off pasture and weaning calves from their mothers. This is also one of the most stressful times in a calf’s life. Stress at this time can dramatically impact calves health leading to decreased growth rate, depressing their immune system making them much more susceptible to disease. There are certain factors we are unable to mitigate, such as weather, however there are things we can do to help decrease the level of stress that we put on these calves at weaning time. One technique to minimize stress is low stress weaning. This certainly benefits a producer who backgrounds their own calves but producers that sell healthy high performing calves may receive a premium from feedlot buyers for pre-weaned calves as well. Low stress weaning leading to less stressed calves, results in less antimicrobials and other medications needed to treat sick calves. This is also very beneficial when trying to manage antimicrobial resistance issues. Minimizing stress will reduce disease problems occurring at weaning, reduce treatment costs, and enhance cattle performance post-weaning. There are several different techniques that can be used to wean calves. The most stressful technique is simply to separate calves from cows and at the same time send them on the road to a sale yard.
There are two low - stress techniques described below: 1. Quiet Wean® nose tags: Calves are run through the chute and anti-suckling nose tags are applied, these calves are then turned back with the cows for 4-5 days. After this period the calves are then brought back to chute where the tags are removed and the calves are separated from the cows. This technique requires the purchase of the nose tags and separating the calves one additional time. An excellent video on two stage weaning can be found at www.quietwean. com/videos. 2. Fence Line weaning: Cows and calves are placed in the location that the calves will be weaned a few days before weaning, this way the calves will know where to access feed and water. After a few days cows and calves are separated and cows are placed in the area across the fence from the calves for 3-4 days. This way the calves and cows will still be able to hear and smell each other but the calves cannot nurse. Adjustments to the fence may need to be made to keep calves and cows from jumping over or going through. After a few days calves won’t be as worried about where their moms are and won’t be walking the fence line. Studies have found 25% more weight gain within the first 2 weeks post weaning in calves weaned via low stress techniques vs abrupt
weaning. Calves spent significantly less time walking the fence line and vocalizing which led to much more time spent eating/gaining weight. Even at 10 weeks, calves that had been abruptly weaned had not caught up in weight gain with the calves that were weaned by a low stress method. A few other techniques that will minimize stress during the weaning period are: 1. Gradually start creep feeding calves the last 3-4 weeks before weaning so they can become accustomed to eating dry feed. 2. Process calves before weaning. During a stressful period a calf’s immunity goes down making vaccines less effective for future protection. To get the most protective effect out of your vaccine and keep your calves healthier it is ideal to process calves 3-4 weeks before weaning. If a booster vaccine is given, administer the second dose 3-4 weeks post weaning. 3. When possible move the cow and not the calf. New environments are stressful on a calf and an older animal is better able to cope with changes to their environment. Though some time is required to perform low stress weaning, there are substantial benefits to both the calf and the producer therefore we would highly encourage you to give it a try. If you have any questions regarding low stress weaning or preconditioning your calves please contact us at Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic.

It’s What We Do THE

Animal Health: It’s all about using the proper product to benefit animals and humans By Roy Lewis Columnist Three years ago the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association along with several industry partners came up with a Therapeutic Decision Cascade for Animal and Public Safety (a decision tree). This is a great tool for reminding all veterinarians and producers how to properly select drugs for any species we are treating. This guide is an valuable reminder of which medications are approved for each species. How and what we do to treat our farm animals and pets ultimately could affect us humans down the road. We are fortunate in the cattle industry to have many products approved for use. To be approved means a product has a known withdrawal time for meat and milk (if used in dairy cattle). They also come with a DIN or drug identification number. It would be very rare indeed for a large-animal veterinarian to use products not approved for use on bovines, and if they did it would be done under a written prescription. We need to use antibiotic products prudently. That means we only use Category 1 drugs such as Baytril, Excede or Excenel for treatment, and for specific
North Point Angus
conditions at that. As veterinarians we also need to do more cultures and sensitivity tests on behalf of our clients to determine which antimicrobial is in fact the best for a particular condition such as respiratory disease. This means we may initiate treatment first and then change antibiotics if cultures show a better choice. Many more prescriptions are written for minor species such as sheep and goats as these products have not been fully researched in these species. Primarily this is necessary because the amount of sales of products with these species would not justify the regulatory or research cost to put them on the label. Your veterinarian must use their past experience and shared knowledge to determine which product is safe and effective. We call this extra-label usage. It covers approved products for other species and/or products given in a different route or with a higher dosage than indicated. Your veterinarian will use the best resources at hand such as CgFARAD, which is a national food safety database, that can give recommendations on extra-label usage for withdrawals and safety. Safety first Technical services veterinarians are also approached by the various pharma
companies for their expertise on the products they handle. We need to consider safety because as veterinarians we first “do no harm”a and secondly do not create residues in meat and milk. The third category in this cascade involves using an approved human drug in veterinary medicine. Although this is very rare in cattle practice, it is more common in equine or small animal practice. Again this is done by prescription and only after veterinary-approved drugs are first considered. This usually occurs when a culture test shows certain infections have proven resistant to veterinary drugs. The last three categories are what we call compounded drugs. One group is made from other veterinary-approved drugs for, say a different method of administration. The others are drugs compounded from human drugs. The most critical, and probably overused and over-abused medicines, are drugs made from the raw products. These are called active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and are imported as raw product from other countries. There is not near the control on their manufacture, so CgFARAD cannot comment on their safety. These products should be used only as a last resort. In production animal beef practice we have the ability most times to stick with an approved product. Most new

‘Tree’ continued, it took a tree to print this tale products are approved for cattle when licensed. Producers and veterinarians should only use the API category as a last resort. A prescription is always needed. Having access to API products is actually a loophole in our import regulations the government should try and close. These products have no DIN in this country and the potential for abuse and exceeding drug withdrawals is massive. The provincial veterinary associations could start possibly creating a document for best-use practices for extra-label usage on these minor species that can serve as a very good guide to your herd’s veterinary practitioner. The approved veterinary drugs fall into four categories themselves ranging from Category 1 being those of high importance in human medicine to Category 4 such as the ionophores, which have low importance in human medicine. Most of the antimicrobials used in production animal medicine are Categories 4, 3 and 2.
in mind this decision tree. Health Canada has information detailing the drugs in each category on its website.
One pharmaceutical company has a chart listing the common antibiotics in each category, which is great to hang on your wall. Watch for it. This printed material will be useful if you want to ever explain antibiotic resistance as it relates to animals to your urban family, friends or neighbours. Remember, when considering a product follow the decision tree it’s veterinary first, then human and finally API products, in that order. We in the cattle industry are in a position to be leaders for the other species because we have so many products approved for use. Stay away from the Category 1 products as much as possible. Talk to your vet about for the best advice. Lets all think and use all the knowledge we know to select the best antimicrobial for the job bearing
R0011361165
Excellent reference material
Alberta Beef Producers has produced an excellent brochure that beautifully illustrates the various categories with several examples. It also discusses other things the cattle industry is doing to tackle this antimicrobial resistance issue.

Help fields by adding soybeans By Michael Weir Traditionally, western Canadian rotations have been primarily made up of wheat and canola. However, new corn hybrids and soybean varieties present great alternatives for western Canadian growers — opening up more options for management and marketing.

The ideal crop rotation has at least a two-year gap between the same crop. Benefits of including a minimum one to three year crop rotation in-
clude breaking disease and insect pressure, managing herbicide resistance by allowing different modes of action and spreading out market risk Soybeans are a great crop to incorporate, with many economic and agronomic benefits. Economically, soybeans allow growers to take advantage of other markets, which decreases financial risk. Harvest timing is different from canola and wheat, so soybeans help spread out the harvest. Agronomically, more crops equal more herbicide modes of action available to the grower. Crops

Soybeans, so continued from previous page typically do well after soybeans; less residue is left, and it tends to break down more quickly, resulting in a blacker, more workable soil. There is a misconception that soybeans build nitrogen in soil. Soybeans will use and fix nitrogen, but only in sufficient amounts for the plant
to use. To grow a successful soybean crop, it is critical that the variety chosen fits the growing zone. Some fields are more or less susceptible to diseases, so growers should choose varieties with resistance or tolerance to known diseases. Grow-
ers need to know their fields, and select the right maturities on a field-to-field basis. Fields should be treated individually, and soybean seed products that will manage any problems should be placed appropriately. There are many soybean varieties available, so knowing which will fit your geography and challenges is an asset. Michael Weir is an area agronomist for DuPont Pioneer.

The Northern Horizon, October 27, 2017
Alberta cattle numbers are no longer falling — but herds are on the move While the Alberta cow herd has stopped shrinking, it has not yet rebounded. “The positive returns for the cow-calf producers over the last few years indicate the Alberta cow herd has finally stopped shrinking,” said Herman Simons, a farm business management specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. “In fact, the total beef cow numbers for 2016 show a small increase of about 13,500 head as compared to 2011.” The largest reduction in cows since the 2006 census inventory was in the Edmonton-Calgary corridor in 2011. “Since then, this region has rebounded somewhat while the northeast and the west have continued to shrink in total head of cows,” said Simons. “The southern region (all counties below Calgary) seems to have rebounded the best — however, this region also saw the lowest reduction in numbers. The south had a reduction of 48,000 head in 2011, as compared to 2006, which is ‘only’ an 11 per cent reduction as compared to most of the rest of Alberta, which saw cow herds
reduce between 28 and 37 per cent in the same period.” It is welcome seeing some stability, and even a minimum amount of growth, he said. “All regions (other than the west and northeast) have seen an increase of cow numbers since 2011. Most of that occurred in the south (an eight per cent increase from 2011) and the east (a five per cent increase from 2011).” At the same time, he says, the number of farms is reducing.

ferent counties. Larger farms are found in the counties of Ranchland No. 66 (average herd size of 231 cows), Special Areas 2 and 4 (173 and 194 head respectively) and Cardston County (170 head). The counties with the smallest average herd size are Mackenzie (34 head), Strathcona (40 head), Fairview (52 head), Lamont and Sturgeon counties (54 head each). Cows are also moving away from their traditional areas, said Simons.
“This decline seems to be faster for the beef sector in Alberta as compared to the average of all Canadian farms. There was a reduction of just over 10 per cent of Alberta cow-calf producers in 2016 from 2011, as compared to the Canadian average of about six per cent for the same period for all farmers.” This reduction in the number of farms means herds are getting larger. In the last 15 years, the average herd size has increased by 50 per cent (to 95 cows per farm versus 63 cows). There is a large difference between the dif-

Tribulations of cooking for the harvest crew I came across an article on my Facebook feed during harvest titled “10 Reasons Cooking for a Family Sucks.� It was humorous, as the articles from the popular parenting website Scary Mommy often are, but I noted how similar I feel at this time, cooking for our harvest crew. We have a really amazing system, because we farm with my in-laws, so I take turns with my mother-inlaw and my sister-in-law and cook supper in a rotation every three days. I truly and sincerely find it so meaningful to serve my family by cooking and baking for them. I re-
ally do put my love and caring into the meals that I prepare, and it gives me pleasure to nourish my family, but when harvest is approaching the two-months-in mark due to so many delays‌ my love for preparing food is wearing thin. Some of the points in the article were: not only do you have to cook, but you have to shop, plan, prepare and clean up. One of the big things this harvest that is wearing me down is point No. 7 in the article, which is playing The Guessing Game. For our family alone at harvest dinners, we always have six adults and five children to feed. Since we added a third

I am trying really, really hard to adapt to the flying-by-the-seat-ofmy-pants attitude when it comes to these harvest meals, but I have a very Type A personality and like to be as organized as possible. Lastminute changes really throw me for a loop and I get very anxious and feel the physical effects on my body if a wrench gets thrown into my plans. (In my defence, having a young baby during harvest is also a whole other complicated story!) I need to take lessons from my saint on earth (no sarcasm intended), amazing mother-in-law who displays grace and goes with the flow like no other. However, when I hear her say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you had better be done this field before supper tomorrow or you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be eating,â&#x20AC;? when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her turn to cook, I know that even she has her limits!

Needless to say, it can make harvest suppers tricky by playing The Guessing Game with questions such as: How many people will I be feeding today? Is the hired man who eats enough for three adults coming? Will my eight-year-old nephew eat like a bird, or enough for three adults as well? Does this have gluten in it for my other nephew who has celiac disease? Darnâ&#x20AC;Ś what can I quickly make without gluten in it? Do we even need to eat as a harvest crew tonight? Will they be rained out? Is the grain dry enough to combine? Where will we be eating? Did they move fields? Did I pack enough utensils, plates and cups for everyone? Do I have to do dishes and clean my house in a panic to host everyone here last minute? I hope the kids like this meal. Will the kids even eat anyway, or do I have to fight with them and coax them to eat? Will we get rained out as I pull into the field for supper? Will random guests show up and I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough food? What do
they mean they decided to combine and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4 p.m. and I have to cook for 15 people!? What should I cook? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really running out of big meal ideas. Do I even care anymore?

combine to the lineup this year, sometimes we will have two hired men and a sister with her three kids who also join the supper crew. This year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also had random farm visitors show up at suppertime, and even Case mechanics who have joined the supper table.

U.S. stance on autos sows more doubt about NAFTA overhaul By Dave Graham, David Ljunggren The Trump administration on Friday demanded that U.S.-made content account for half the value of the cars and trucks sold under the North American Free Trade Agreement, raising further doubts about any potential deal to renew the pact. Three sources briefed on the protectionist U.S. proposal, which is in line with U.S. President Donald Trump’s goal of shrinking a trade deficit with Mexico and stemming the loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs, said it also seeks sharply higher North American automotive content overall. The proposal was made during contentious talks in Washington, in the fourth of seven planned rounds of negotiations to overhaul the treaty. Mexican sources denounced it as “absurd” and unacceptable, underlining the gaps between NAFTA’s three members as they try to wrap up a deal by a year-end deadline. Trump, who complains that the original 1994 pact has been a disaster for the U.S., is threatening to walk away from the agreement unless major changes are made. Washington’s auto industry gambit came hot on the heels of its demand that NAFTA also contain a so-called sunset clause. That could mean any new deal expires in five years, an idea that Canada and Mexico also strongly oppose. Although sources briefed on the talks describe the mood as sour, Mexican and Canadian politicians say there is no question of leaving the table for now. A collapse of NAFTA would wreak havoc throughout the North American economy, disrupting highly integrated manufacturing supply chains and agricultural exports with steep tariffs that would snap back into place. Trade among the three countries has more than quadrupled since 1994 to over US$1.2 trillion annually. One of the sources close to the talks said Washington wants to increase the North American content requirement for trucks, autos and large engines to 85 per cent from 62.5 per cent over a period of years. That is in addition to its insistence that 50 per cent of content be U.S.-made within the first year of a signed deal. Proposal seen unworkable A Canadian official noted that senior government figures in Ottawa had already rejected both ideas as unworkable. Trump has made clear he prefers
bilateral trade deals, and skeptics wonder whether the U.S. demands are part of an “America First” strategy designed to ensure the current talks fail. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has listed the U.S. auto industry demand among a number of “poison pill” proposals that it said would torpedo the talks to renew NAFTA. The chamber says the proposal would cost jobs, since automakers and parts suppliers would likely forgo NAFTA benefits and simply pay the 2.5 per cent U.S. tariff for imported cars and many parts. Unifor, a union which represents most of Canada’s auto workers, said the U.S. proposals were deliberately untenable. “Frankly, I think this is a bully move by the American government,” president Jerry Dias said in a statement. Trump aides say current rules are too lax and allowed auto companies to bring in too many cheap parts from China and other low-wage Asian countries. Mexico is heavily dependent on the U.S. and NAFTA for its economic viability, and uncertainty over the outcome of the talks helped push the Mexican peso to near fivemonth lows this week. Mexican Finance Minister Jose Antonio Meade, seeking to downplay any setbacks in the latest round of negotiations, said on Friday that tension in the talks was only natural. Canadian officials also said it was too soon to write off the dealmaking process. They noted that U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland and Mexican Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo were due to meet in Washington on Tuesday to take stock of the negotiations. Separately, U.S. negotiators on Friday formally asked Canada to address a bilateral dispute over dairy pricing, a request the Canadians are set to resist, sources familiar with the talks said. — Reporting for Reuters by Dave Graham and David Ljunggren; additional reporting by David Lawder and Ana Isabel Martinez.

Flax acres have started to rebound over the past few years, with Saskatchewan still accounting for most of the flax grown on the Prairies. In order to entice more growers to flax, however, yields will need to increase. Average flax yields have hovered around 22 bu./ac. for many years, and although growers in some areas of Western Canada have achieved double that, it’s not always consistent, so improving yield continues to be a key focus of agronomy research. Many factors contribute to yield, and researchers in Saskatchewan and Manitoba have been working on a three-year project to update agronomic practices. “We’re focusing on the agronomy,” says Rachel Evans, extension agronomist at the Flax Council of Canada. “As varieties and equipment change, and as our climate changes, there is a need to go back and re-look at what we’re recommending.” At the end of this year’s season, researchers will have 12 site years of data about seeding rates, seeding dates, row spacing, weed management, fungicide use and fertilizer rates, and some of these results are
already creating interest. Researchers started with what’s called an ideal plot, i.e. a combination of all of the best management practices to date as a control plot in four separate trials. One trial then looked at fertilizers and seed treatments, another at herbicides and fungicides, a third at seeding rates, dates, depth and row spacing, and the trial at crop rotation seeding into five different crop stubbles. The trials, says Evans, are pointing out some “low hanging fruit, one of them being fertilizing appropriately based on what your background soil fertility levels are.” Seed early Researchers seeded flax on the ideal seeding date of May 15, and also a week earlier, one week later and two weeks later. The latest seeding date showed a yield penalty. “We have a lot of flexibility with flax seeding dates up until the May long weekend. After that we start to see yields drop off,” says Evans. Flax has fairly good frost tolerance, she adds, and it is a long-season crop, requiring anywhere from 95 to 125 days to mature, so seeding early can be a strategy to help growers combine early. Says Evans, “Seeding before the May long weekend is the major message.”

Farming and ranching for soil health supports biodiversity and increases biological activity, both of which are absent in current production technology. Integrating plant diversity, keeping the soil covered, maintain-
ing living roots, and minimally disturbing the soil leads to greater infiltration and water holding capacity, reduced crop inputs, and provides significant environmental and social benefits.
Soil health is greatly enhanced when practiced in conjunction with animal agriculture, and that is why attendees will have the opportunity to attend two great conferences in one. There will be a

Applying manure: How much is too much? “Everything we do is soil tested and the manure is applied accordingly; typically in the fall we do our soil analysis and our plan for the upcoming year and do what the requirements are,” says Graham. This has allowed them to improve on what they are doing. “We found over time the concentration is building and so we’ve put less tonnage on than we have in previous years and match it up a little closer to the uptake.” Some specifics Dowbenko says soils that are sandier in texture and low on organic matter are the best suited for manure. “Those are good candidates for manure application,” he says. “They will have the most benefit.” On that note, Dowbenko says hilltops that face wind and water erosion are often low on both phosphate and organic matter, which is why they are great for application if producers can manage it. As well, fields that are going to grow cereals and oilseed crops next year are the ones in need of manure. Bottom line Soil testing to analyze nutrients will determine what and where manure could be applied.
R0011343993
With harvest wrapping up in many parts of the country, the race is now on to get all the things you need to get down before the ground is frozen and covered in snow. One of those tasks may be taking manure from the corrals or barns and spreading it in the field. But how much is too much? Conduct tests Agrium senior agronomist Ray Dowbenko says it is important to carry out tests of your soil and manure. “If producers are soil testing, which they should be, they will recognize what kind of nutrients they need to apply or the amount they need to apply and then they can look at the manure analysis and that would be the nitrogen, phosphate, potash and sulphur,” says Dowbenko. “They can then apply based on the phosphate from the environmental perspective and then look at the nitrogen value,” he adds. “Really, they should be looking at applying for the phosphate value and that will reduce the pressure on the environment.” In action This is something they do routinely at South Slope Feeders in Rainier, Alberta, according to general manager Mike Graham.

Entrepreneur studies gluten-free oats production
Ontario entrepreneur Jamie Draves is no stranger to building a grain production and processing infrastructure system since he is successfully doing it with quinoa. Now Draves, president and CEO of health food development company Katan Kitchens, has turned his sights on developing a certified gluten-free oats production and processing system in northern Ontario. Draves received $19,200 from the Grain Farmers of Ontario’s Grains Innovation Fund for his pilot project. Launched in 2010, the Grains Innovation Fund supports projects that open new or expand markets for Ontario grains, along with ones that promote Ontario grains as the best choice, increase premiums for Ontario grains, promote novel uses of identity-preserved varieties or find uses for crop residues. Opportunity Draves says he wants to develop a certified gluten-free oats production and processing system because he believes “there’s an opportunity to build off of the value chain we did for quinoa and to develop a multi-crop processing facility.” He also sees a great opportunity “in gluten-free oats in northern Ontario that we haven’t taken advantage of and an opportunity that will benefit everyone in the value chain.” Draves says he’s using the money from the fund to assess the opportunity and to find a less expensive gluten-free certification process for
growers. “We’re trying to lower their costs for certification and improve the system to ensure that it meets the standards for gluten-free,” he notes. Lots of applicants Nicole Mackellar, GFO market development manager, says since the program launched in 2010, GFO usually gets 30 to 40 applications a year. GFO has handed out more than $900,000 in funding to 35 projects since 2010. Successful applicants can get funding for up to 60 per cent of their project’s cost, to a maximum of $50,000. Mackellar says the number of applicants receiving approval for their projects varies each year and depends on the size and scope of projects. Some years, a couple of projects get approved, while in other years multiple applicants get the green light to proceed. New food uses Many of the projects have developed new domestic food uses for Ontario grains, such as projects to introduce an Ontario wheat-based tortilla chip and an Ontario cornbased tortilla chip. “We’ve also supported a number of export projects that are really increasing the profile of Ontario grains in international markets,” she says. Bottom line There’s still time. Applications are due Nov. 6.

Bert is survived by his sister Eileen Dunbar (Parr) and brothers Stan and Tom Parr. He is predeceased by his father Frank Parr and mother Edna Parr (Warren). Bert was born in Dawson Creek on December 17, 1935 to Frank and Edna Parr. He graduated from a small rural school in Groundbirch after going to grade 8. Bert immediately began working out in the bush to supplement the farm income. He worked in a local sawmill for Grant Brothers while keeping up with seasonal farming activities. Bert was an avid sports fan and began playing baseball as a young man on the local Groundbirch Giants baseball team with his brother Stan and brother in-law Darwin. Later in life he enjoyed following baseball and hockey when he first “got the satellite TV”. Bert was a devoted son and an avid farmer. He enjoyed living with and working on the ranch with his sister’s family and actively looked forward to the different seasonal activities with his brother-in-law Darwin Dunbar and his nephews Don, Darren, and Denton. Bert actively worked the land into his 70s until a series of debilitating strokes, at which time he moved into Peace Villa in Fort St. John. He will be deeply missed by his friends, family, and all who knew him. A private family service is to be scheduled at a future date. Expressions of sympathy in Bert’s memory may be made by donation to the Groundbirch Historical Society, Box 193, Groundbirch, BC, V0C 1T0.

Belt Drive Betty is laying down the law I have taken the unusual tact of going dark on my personal pages on Facebook and Twitter due to the inordinate amount of hateful vitriol I have endured as a result of my stance on entertainers and pro athletes taking a knee or protesting during the singing of the US Anthem at an event wherein: A) I bought a ticket to attend said concert, play, movie/game or B) I pay to watch your concert/ play/movie/game on TV by enduring insane amounts of commercials. NEWS BULLETIN: You lose the entertainment/escape value that I perceive you to have when you try to shove your politics down my throat. As a consumer, I am not attending your concert/play/movie/game to be subjected to your politics, I want to be entertained. I don’t care if you are Black, Brown, White, Yellow, Pink, Purple or Green. I don’t care if you are Polish, Jewish, Greek, English, Hispanic, Hawaiian etc. If I bought a ticket to your concert/play/movie/game, if I paid taxes for you to be afforded to play in a taxpayer funded stadium, if I endured the endless commercials to watch you on TV, I deserve to get what I paid for - ENTERTAINMENT - ESCAPE. I am not saying you don’t have a right to protest what you perceive to be social injustice, police brutality and the like. You have a social media platform and the TV Talk Show circuit as well as the press and events hosted specifically to promote said beliefs to engage in
your right of free speech, you can demonstrate or rally. LEAVE the politics out of the entertainment you are being paid to supply to me, the consumer. PLEASE. I am merely exercising my power of choice to turn off the TV, not buy a ticket to attend your concert/ play/movie/game. Because I have taken this as my personal stand on this topic I have had a long time contributor to my paper pull out and have lost a few people in my life that I could have sworn were my friends before this. I actually had someone accuse me of supporting a “deranged man” - insinuating that I somehow was supporting Donald Trump on this topic. No debate, no discourse. NEWSFLASH - I AM A CONSUMER and I AM FED UP WITH POLITICS INVADING EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE. That’s not what Donald Trump is fighting with you all about, but since you gotta got there.... As the daughter of a veteran, I personally think the method of protest these people are taking is wrong minded,. I feel that during the playing of the anthem of a country is not when you should be protesting. I am often proud of my country but ashamed of my Government. The Government is not the Anthem nor is it the Country. The Anthem represents the Country, and the country is the people that live there and their spirit. That’s how I feel. It’s a personal thing. The former contributor to our community paper told me that since
I have a small amount of pseudo celebrity I should stick to talking motorcycles - well newsflash, if you watch my TV Show Ride Like a Local on either YouTube or EastLink TV you are going to get motorcyclist interviews, sometimes motorcyclist related politics and riding...If you go to the Busted Knuckle Newspaper, you are going to get motorcycle news and usually motorcycle politics if there are any to discuss - you know the whole police profiling, the MC world politics, but they are at least specific to our community and that’s what a newspaper’s job is - information dissemination etc... In fact my blog title and my column in the newspaper is kind of a give away that you might get some personal opinion and some politics if you decide to read my blog. So - the whole you are a “hypocrite” from the former contributor really doesn’t work in my case. On my personal page, the Renee Charbonneau page you are going to get me, unabridged, because you are supposed to be my friend. Do you know what the real definition of a friend is? I am often proud of my country but ashamed of my Government. The Government is not the Anthem nor is it the Country.

I am entitled to an opinion like everyone else and about 25% of the world and I are going to see eye to eye on things and the rest are here to teach me something. Sometimes the thing they teach me is; “turn it off or go ride your motorcycle more girl.” I enjoy debate. I don’t enjoy vitriolic hatred. I will defend your right to your freedom of speech and expression, but when your rights begin to infringe on my rights, I will push back, as is my right. Freedoms and rights work both ways, even people I don’t care for are entitled to their say, their feelings and thoughts. Stay tuned for PART II next edition! Belt Drive Betty Editor & Rider

Abnormal weather doesn’t grow average forage Research on the Record with Reynold Bergen Averages are useful statistics, but sometimes averages can be misleading. As the University of Saskatchewan’s late Iain Christison said, “the average human has one breast and one testicle.” Canada’s rainfall may be close to average this year — but much of the country is experiencing severe drought, and most of the rest is soaked. Either way, low yields, unharvestable or spoiled forage mean that winter feed supplies will be below average in many places, and nutritional value likely won’t be average either. For instance, drought-stricken pastures and forage crops have lower levels of carotene, which cattle need to produce vitamin A. A recent paper from Cheryl Waldner and Fabienne Uehlinger of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (Can. J. Anim. Sci. 97:65-82) looked at 150 beef cow-calf herds in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Calves born the spring following a drought had a much higher risk of vitamin A deficiency, and calves with severe vitamin A deficiency were nearly three times more likely to die than those with higher levels. Copper deficiency is also a concern for many areas of Canada, even in a good year. Sometimes copper levels are simply too low. Sometimes copper is present in the forage or feed, but is unavailable because it is bound up by sulphates, molybdenum, or both. In drought conditions, sulphate levels in dugout water can rise to the point that it can cause copper deficiency as well as other problems. Weather may also have an impact on molybdenum levels. Cheryl Waldner and Leeanne van de Weyer sampled 66 beef cow herds in Western Canada, and found that cows’ serum molybdenum levels were more than twice as high in areas that had more than 300 mm of rainfall during the growing season compared to areas with less rainfall (Can. J. Anim. Sci. 91:423-431).
roughly equal numbers of cows and heifers. For the last 75 days of pregnancy, two groups were fed barley silage, with loose free-choice minerals in a separate tub. The other two groups had the mineral mixed in with the silage as a TMR. After calving, one of the free-choice mineral groups was switched to the TMR, and one of the TMR groups was switched to free-choice. Blood samples were collected from all cows and heifers in early January, all dams and their calves within a week of calving, and all animals at the end of the trial (May 24). Calf health, growth and cow
rebreeding performance were monitored. Cows fed free-choice minerals were six times more likely to be copper deficient at calving compared to cows fed the TMR, and cows fed free-choice minerals both before and after calving were 47 times more likely to be copper deficient than cows fed the TMR ration throughout. Calves with inadequate copper levels at birth were 6.4 times more likely to be treated for pneumonia, scours or navel infection. Cows fed mineral in the TMR came into heat 2.3 times faster and became pregnant sooner than cows fed free-choice mineral.
An animal doesn’t need to exactly meet its nutrient requirements every day. But over time, they do need to have a balanced diet. A total mixed ration (TMR) makes it easier to ensure that each animal consumes the nutrients it needs — that’s why feedlots use them. A Beef Science Cluster study led by Steve Hendrick of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine compared mineral supplements fed free-choice vs. in a total mixed ration. Pregnant Hereford-cross cows (121) and bred heifers (48) were split into four groups of
R0011454223
In addition to vitamins and minerals, energy and protein will probably not be “average” in this year’s forage crop either. Testing your water and feed is important for you and your nutritionist to appropriately supplement whatever nutritional imbalances you may (or may not) be facing. But is the supplement eaten? Averages can mislead you here, too. A team of Alberta researchers examined individual intakes of loose mineral supplements and molasses blocks fed in a Growsafe feeder (Can. J. Anim. Sci. 80:681-690). The trace mineral mix was formulated to meet individual cow requirements when consumed at 100 g per head per day. Over the six-day trial, mineral intake averaged 183.5 g per head per day, and many cows ate enough. But some ate absolutely none, while some ate 900 g per day. The molasses blocks targeted an intake of 500 to 1,000 g per head per day. Over the course of a month, heifers consumed an average of 572 g per day. But individual heifer intakes ranged from two to 976 g per day.

Getting safely to the top of those bins By Lisa Guenther Field Editor As grain bins become larger, climbing to the top grows riskier. Two companies had solutions on display at Ag in Motion north of Saskatoon this summer. Safety concerns spurred the creation of Darmani Grain Storage’s Skylift, a small elevator that bolts to the side of a grain bin. “It’s the whole idea of crawling up a bin with a 50 m.p.h. wind and you’re hanging on,” said Richard Epp, president of Darmani. “A gust comes along, it could blow you off.” Darmani also sells grain bins, aeration fans, bin sweeps, and other equipment related to grain storage. Epp said Darmani has sold several units of the Skylift since it came on the market, about four years ago. They’re very popular on the 20,000 to 30,000 bushel bins, he said, as those bins are so tall. “They’re the coming thing,” said Epp. “Alberta’s got legislation now where you’ve got to have some sort of protection going up. And this is starting to make a lot more sense.” Northern Stands debuted its bin harness safety system at Ag in Motion. The company does a lot of work in the mining and construc-
tion industries, and grain bin safety seemed like a good fit, said Dave Perrin, who works in the fall protection division of the company. “We decided to give it a shot. It seems to be working pretty good,” Perrin said. Grainews spoke to Perrin the day after the harness system first debuted. Perrin said people were sharing stories about falling from bins, or people they knew who had fallen. There were also companies interested in becoming distributors, he said. “So we’re very optimistic that we’re going to be able to hit the ground running with this and we’re going to save some lives.” The details The grain bin harness ties off workers the entire time they’re accessing the tops of grain bins, Perrin said. An anchor system bolts into the ribs on the bin roof. A lifeline (3/8-inch galvanized cable) runs down the ladder. The product also includes a traveling system, consisting of a wire rope grab. “The worker can don a harness, with a four-foot lanyard, hook onto that traveler, and traverse up and down. They can climb right to the top of the bin, do any type of maintenance, any checks that they need

to do,” said Perrin. Right now the safety harness can only be installed on Westeel and Westor 1805 bins, Perrin said. “We don’t have the ribs on the smooth-wall bin like we do with these ones so we’re going to have to come up with some sort of shimming method to make sure that that anchor fits the profile of the roof properly to withstand the loads.” Farmers can use one Skylift for two bins, if the bins are side-byside. Epp compared installing the Skylift to putting on a ladder. “You just bolt it on.” The Skylift includes a 110-volt winch, a safety cage, safety cable, and safety grab hook. The safety
cable includes a mechanism so that that “if the main winch cable breaks, then the safety cable takes over, and it will stop you right there.” There is also a ladder, in case a farmer gets stuck at the top, Epp added. Farmers should check the winch cables and safety cable periodically, but overall there’s very little maintenance involved, Epp said. “It’s all sealed bearings.” Below Northern Strands debuted its grain bin safety harness at Ag in Motion in July. An anchor system bolts into the ribs on the bin roof. The harness system also includes a lifeline and a wire rope grab.

Collie Corner
46454
By Carol Nelson
This week on the corner it is safety around moving objects Daily we feed, water and look after the dogs basic needs as these chores are just part of owning a dog; and we assume responsibility for them. One obligation often neglected is keeping the dog safe. This is overlooked because it is assumed the dog can look out for himself. Working dogs are extremely trainable and smart in a lot of areas but when it comes to their own safety they are very irresponsible. Due of their lack of caution for themselves many meet an unfortunate and unnecessary death. Often the cause of death was preventable with a bit of foresight. While different incidents can happen, it is usually a moving vehicle or tractor that runs them over. If this happens it is due to handler negligence. We do not throw our toddlers into the middle of the street and let them find their way

through the traffic but rather they are kept close and guided to safety with adult supervision. It is the handlers job to apply this same principle to keeping the dog safe. A dog needs constant observation around moving objects as he does not comprehend the danger. It is our job to keep them safe whether they are at work or play. It is a simple matter to load the dog into a portable kennel that is in the back of a vehicle or have him ride in the cab of a vehicle or tractor. If the dog has been taught to travel and go in a kennel it is a small job to make sure he stays safe. Since there is a substantial amount of time and energy spent in acquiring a working dog to say nothing of finances involved it would not be very good business sense if we neglected to look after our investment.
