From Field to Desk

We knew it was coming - we just weren't sure when. Our cattle industry is rapidly returning to normal. High per capita beef consumption, coupled with insufficient supply to meet North American demand, has resulted in record prices paid for yearlings coming off grass and for this year's calves already sent to market. In fact, many producers who might normally keep their current crop to background over the winter are taking advantage of current conditions and letting their calves go. It's likely a very shrewd economic decision. They have the opportunity to pay off debts accrued over the past few years and rebuild lost equity. The market for next spring may very well be just as strong but if one is paying interest on an operating loan, now may be the best time to return to a better cash position.

Markets throughout the country also report record numbers of cull bulls coming to town. For many, the time for replacing these bulls is long overdue. Conditions over the past few years dictated that bulls be kept longer than normal and as a result, most purebred breeders have not retained as many bulls to sell. To the buyer's advantage, this means that only the very best of the 2004 calf crop is available. While prices for calves of all classes are good, they are much stronger for uniform groups of high quality. Cattle with at least 50 per cent British blood are demanded by the feedlots and packers. Those calves with a "white face" are very much the selection of choice. Whether they are "yellows", red baldies, or black baldies or straight Herefords, they have proven themselves to be efficient feeders with high marbling and profitable carcasses. There is no longer any excuse not to do well when you take your calves into your local market.

Reliable, proven and profitable genetics are advertised throughout this issue. Those who incorporate them into their own programs will benefit from the recognition their cattle receive come sale time. Many sale barns in most provinces recognize this factor and know that they will also benefit from your success. As a result, many have scheduled special "Hereford Influence" calf sales. The Canadian Hereford Association's National Market Development director, Guy Smith is working closely with these markets to help ensure the success of these sales. A list of these events can be found in Guy's column in this issue. If you have questions, call the participating market in your area or Guy directly.

Out in the country, there is a tremendous amount of cheap feed available in most areas, and the price of grain is barely break-even. The obvious move, at least over the short term, seems simple - buy more cows! The beef shortage situation on this continent is a long way from being solved. Comparing input costs between grain farming and ranching is enough to convince almost anyone to shift the emphasis of their operation more towards beef production.

The cattle business certainly didn't arrive at this advantageous position overnight, but now that we're there, it's time to make the most of it.

Don't be lift behind. You deserve the ease of management and brighter bottom line you gain with the "Hereford Advantage."

I look forward to visiting with you at the fall sales. Happy hunting!

Establishing a Niche Market Using Hereford Cows

by Kurt Gilmore

Albert and Cathie Burgmaier

Northwestern Saskatchewan is home to some of the most extensive forage production in western Canada . Such is the case some 20-km south west of Meadow Lake where Albert and Cathie Burgmaier manage over 200 cows.

Albert purchased the first three-quarters of land at the current site, just east of Makwa, in the fall of 1969. In the early 1970's he bought his first group of Hereford heifers from the Houghman Ranch at Frenchman's Butte . He married Cathie in 1973 and since that time they have expanded the land base to three and a half sections (2,240 acres). Of this, 900 acres is in pasture and 240 acres are put into grain - this year they grew canola and wheat. Recently Burgmaiers have planted about 25 acres of corn, which they turn the cows into once they are finished on fall pasture. Last year, because of drought and an early snow, the cattle were turned on corn in late October. This extra grazing time helped shorten the winter feeding season and also helped with manure management. When they come out of the corn, the cows are carried on mixed hay comprised of alfalfa, timothy and brome right through calving until turnout. Mixed hay and other forage that can include millet and triticale are grown on the balance of the property and most years where there is a demand and it is has good value, a good percentage of this is sold as a cash crop.

But it is the cows that form the strong financial base of this operation, which has gained an excellent reputation for producing top quality replacement heifers. The straight bred Horned Hereford cows are all bred to easy calving full brood Simmental bulls. Most years, the steers are backgrounded and sold in February and March and the heifers are sold in December. Over the past two years, however, Albert has elected to retain the top end of the heifer calves, breed them back Hereford and then sell them in the fall as bred replacements.

WHAT IS 'The Keith Gilmore' FOUNDATION??

Keith Gilmore was born and raised at Callaway, Nebraska, where he worked a mixed farming and ranching operation with his father. He later attended and graduated from the University of Nebraska with a degree in animal science. After returning from World War II, he taught agriculture under the GI Bill for the further education of returning veterans. With his new family, he went back to the farm and at the same time worked a part-time job as one of the first field representatives for the American Hereford Journal. Those duties brought him to the Calgary Bull Sale for several years before assuming the management of The Canadian Hereford Digest for its new owner in 1956. Keith Gilmore soon became the sole proprietor of the magazine and served as its editor and publisher until 1986. Throughout his lifetime, he held as a high priority the advanced education of young people, especially those with agricultural backgrounds.

The original concept for a scholarship foundation came from Duncan Porteous, then secretary-manager of the Canadian Hereford Association. Prior to the passing of Keith Gilmore in 1987, Mr. Porteous discussed the idea with him and together they drew up a list of people who would serve as the first Board of Trustees. To them would fall the responsibility of setting policy and awarding scholarships. Sitting on the first board were Donald Cross (chairman), Walter Blume, J.R. (Jock) Blacklock, Chris Sutter and W.W. Donaldson. Donald Cross and Walter Blume are still serving and with them in 2005 are George Edgar, Cathy Lasby and John Blacklock. Edward Jupp also sat on the board for several years and Duncan Porteous continues to act as secretary. Rounding out this list of volunteers is Bobbie Beck, who is responsible for a mountain of paperwork and Bob Poole of Maertens-Poole Chartered Accountants - both of whom have donated their services since the organization was formed.

The first students to receive scholarships from the Foundation were David Gadd, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and Lynn Gordon, Souris, Manitoba, in 1988.

Now, 18 years after it was formed, The Keith Gilmore Foundation accepts applications from throughout Canada and other countries on a regular basis and the amount of money available in scholarships is expanded every fall.

DOWNER COWS

By Roy Lewis DVM

Farmers and veterinarians, since the beginning of time, have pondered over the proverbial downer cow. This article will attempt to cover some of the causes and their modern day treatments.

Typically a downer cow surprises the farmer. It is often a perfectly healthy cow with no presenting history suddenly found down and unable to rise. Because cattle, especially mature ones, are such heavy beasts, after being down even a short time several complications can ensue. Pressure sores, stiff muscles from trying to rise or cattle becoming spread-eagled are common sequalie. It is these complications, which the veterinarian must also treat in order to arrive at a favourable outcome.

With the advent of lots of in-house blood testing now available at most veterinary clinics, several tests may be performed on downer cattle to determine the cause. While "Milk Fever" is often implicated, deficiencies of, either calcium, phosphorus or magnesium can resemble one another greatly. With dairy cattle, the true "Milk Fever" results from a shortage of calcium generally at parturition when the demand for milk and thus calcium is greatest. Beef cattle can have milk fevers show up at different times either before calving or late into the lactation. Often poor mineral utilization or improper feeding is the root cause. Veterinarians will now often take a blood sample so those three minerals can be tested for. If deficient, then the diagnosis is made and treatment initiated to alleviate the situation. In my experience the grass tetany downer from magnesium deficiency is less likely to recover once down. Phosphorus leads to the proverbial creeper cow, which can take a long time to get up. As with all these mineral deficiencies, one must think these cases may be the tip of the iceberg. The rest of the herd should be closely scrutinized and some cows possibly randomly checked (blood tested) to prevent other cases from developing.

Injuries to the neck or peripheral nerves can cause downer animals and these can present as a great diagnostic challenge to your veterinarian. Once an animal is down, doing a thorough clinical exam can be difficult. Ambulation is better to check out severe lameness or trauma cases. A blown stifle (knee) or broken leg can present as a downer animal. It is important as a downer your veterinarian rolls the animal over and closely examines all four legs closely. Lightning strikes, where the animal has survived, damages the peripheral nerves and a downer may be the end result.

BC BULL-ETIN

The weekend of Sept. 10 was filled with a lot of Hereford enthusiasm. The Salmon Arm Fair with the Hereford Challenge was held plus the BC Hereford Association Annual Meeting. Of course our usual way of doing things is to cram as much as possible into as short a time as possible and it never works. After holding the AGM after the Hereford Show at Salmon Arm for about three years, the conclusion has been reached that it is impossible to do a good job of conducting the business of the Association and have a show as well within a short time frame. So you can look to next year when we will be having our AGM and banquet the day before the show, that is on Friday, with Saturday and Sunday morning devoted to the business of showing Herefords.

The meeting, although shortened by the necessity of time, was filled with a lot of information. Gordon Stephenson was on hand to bring the meeting up to date on what is happening at the office in Calgary and was pleased to report that business is up for the first time in a while. Even with the increased membership fee there are more registrations and transfers to-date than last year. Add to that the change in attitude that seems to be starting to prevail and the future is starting to look even better for Herefords.

The Hereford challenge has added a great deal to the Salmon Arm Fair because without it, the numbers would be very small. Salmon Arm is a lay back small town fair that operates on an attitude that it does not matter if things run a little late. Nobody gets up tight about it and that makes for great fellowship and kidding. The competition between breeders has a more friendly atmosphere than at many of the major shows. Even if you won last time out, the fact that you stood down a couple placings the next time does not interfere with your having fun.

It is great to see the number of Hereford influence sales coming up in BC and we urge every breeder to try and attend at least one of them. Look in the September issue of the Digest for details. Last year we asked breeders who were selling bulls in some of the areas that were having sales to donate a few dollars towards coffee and donuts at the Hereford influence sales. The response from many breeders was wonderful and shows that we have a great deal of enthusiasm in BC. With the opening of the border, I am sure this will continue. The last 18 months have not been all bad, because it showed everyone that we can survive without relying too heavily on the neighbours to the south. Now we have to maintain an independent attitude and do more things for ourselves. The fact that just about every breeder now sells sides of beef to the neighbour makes the new labels and packaging that is coming down the tube a sure success. Look for more on this from the CHA.

Alberta Influence - Message from the President

It is an honor to serve as Alberta Hereford Association president this year. The positive changes that have taken place in the beef industry have put beef producers in an upbeat frame of mind. This has been evident at the Hereford functions that have taken place this summer with more participation of breeders and Hereford enthusiasts. The AHA continues to promote Herefords through print advertising and more radio ad campaigns promoting the strength of Herefords in any breeding program.

I encourage and welcome any Hereford enthusiasts or breeders to get involved by participating or visiting any Hereford function or sale and partake in the excitement for the future of this breed.

Put The Credit Where The Credit Is Due. Buy Herefords to prosper in your future.

CENTRAL ALBERTA HEREFORD CLUB

submitted by James Scott

The Central Alberta Hereford Club held their Annual Meeting on April 8, 2005 at the Bowden Hall. A delicious steak supper was served followed by the Annual Meeting and our ever popular Semen Auction. The Semen Auction is our main fund raising event of the year and the Central Alberta Hereford Club would like to thank all the semen donors, bidders and buyers.

The Central Alberta , Calgary District and Southern Alberta Hereford Clubs joined together again this year and held a joint field day in conjunction with Jones Hereford Ranch's 100 th Anniversary. The Celebration was well attended with an excellent showing from our Hereford breeders. This year's judge was Mark Law from Cypress Hill , MB , and he judged heifer calves and bull calves while letting the people be the judge of the pen of three heifer calves and bred heifers. Mark did an excellent job, enduring the sweltering heat of the day, to arrive with the top selections from an amazing group of cattle. Following the judging, an excellent prime rib dinner was served to over 350 people.

We are busy getting ready for our Supremacy Sale to be held on November 22, 2005 at the Olds Cow Palace - sale starts at 6:00PM - please plan to join us for conversation, fun and view or bid on cattle chosen from the best of our purebred herds.

PEACE RIVER HEREFORD CLUB

submitted by Serena Reber

The Peace River Hereford Club will be holding our annual meeting in November. The main topic of discussion will be our Hereford/Hereford Influence sale that was held in April at Beaverlodge AB. With the success of the sale this spring and the markets opening up this year, there should be more optimism in the industry. Hopefully we will have an even bigger and better sale this coming spring.

The Peace Country Beef Congress will be held in Grande Prairie again this January. Good luck to everyone planning to attend. Congratulations to our local 4-H members showing Herefords this year, I have heard quite a few success stories and handed out a lot of prints again.

The East Central Hereford Club Celebrates 50 Years of Bull Sales

Submitted by Dianne Westerlund

The East Central Hereford Club was the host club for Alberta Hereford Association Annual Meeting held June 24 & 25 in Olds in conjunction with the Alberta Junior Hereford Association Annual Show. At this time we also had the opportunity to honour the founding members of the Club when Doug and Joyce Westerlund accepted the Purebred Breeder of the Year award on behalf of the club. Deer Fork Ranch (Ron and Sheila Howe of Empress) received the Commercial Breeder of the Year award and Fischer Herefords of Consort and High Crest Farms of Esther were installed in the Alberta Hereford Association Hall of Fame.

Over 3500 bulls have been sold at the sales in east central Alberta since the 1956 sale. The East Central Bull Sales have enjoyed boom years as well as weathered challenging ones, and have always provided a great selection of top quality seed stock. Hats off to the breeders who initiated the purebred sales and to the longevity of the sale itself!

Saskatchewan Cow-Man Sense

Pound-Maker Agventures Feedlot Project

On May 20, 2003, the discovery of a case of BSE was announced to the Canadian Beef industry which resulted in the United States closing the border to Canadian cattle and beef. Almost 26 months later, live cattle are again being shipped south of the border.

Changes have come to the Canadian livestock industry as a direct result of this news. The cattle and beef industry has come together and worked on implementing long term solutions to rebuild the industry.

In Saskatchewan , producers are working on increasing domestic slaughter and processing capacity and since 2003 slaughter capacity has increased by 40%. The plan continues for an additional 40% in 2005 to bring the capacity for slaughter and processing to double of the level it was two years ago.

This is good news for the livestock producers in our province. With the vision and strength of our Hereford breeders in Saskatchewan, they have worked together to focus on how we can show the feeders, buyers and public that Hereford cattle compete equally with other breeds in the feedlot industry.

As breeders of Hereford cattle, we have known for years that we can produce cattle with ideal carcass weights that finish well with very good feed efficiency. The challenge was to find a way to collect sufficient data to prove our point. Two projects were implemented within the province this past year to produce much needed resources to continue to expand our breed and increase promotion and marketing of Herefords. One such project has been completed at Pound-Maker Agventures at Lanigan , Sk.

A pen of 100 Hereford influence steers were collected from six purebred and commercial breeders. The animals were delivered to Pound-Maker on November 23, 2004.

Cattle were weighed at the time of delivery and the in weight recorded ranged in weight from 540 lbs. to 780 lbs., with and average weight on the 100 steers of 627 pounds.

Final results were collected after a 206 day feeding period. The average out weight on the pen was 1267 lbs., resulting in an average daily gain of 3.11 lbs., an average yield of 59% and ribeye of 89.13 cm2. Backfat ranged from 4mm to 23mm. From the carcass side of things, these steers had very promising attributes. With 47% going AAA and the remaining 53% AA, this project has indicated that Hereford calves do have the capability to meet expectations. The yield was better than expected and the averages are very similar to that of other British breeds.

The price was based on carcass weight multiplied by the rail price of 1.2994. On average, each producer that fed and finished their steers at the feedlot, received an additional $69 per head to their program, than those producers that would have sold steers during the incoming week of November 23rd.

The total amount charged to the pen was $30,063.11 which resulted in 63472 lbs. of gain resulting in an average cost of gain of $0.47/lb. On average the steers cost $303.66 to feed for the 206 day period with everything included.

YIELD 59.40% BID PRICE $1.3050

AVG WT OUT 1,267 RAIL PRICE $1.2994

ACTUAL SHRINK $3.70% LIVE PRICE $0.7719

The results speak for themselves. Each producer involved with this project was supplied with their individual results which will add value to their programs.

We must continue to raise cattle that are efficient as possible and return as much as they can with as little input as possible and yes, quality matters. The estimated amount of white-faced cattle in feedlots today is around the 30% mark. Feedlots are recognizing the presence of Hereford genetics - that white face - in their yards and their efficiency.

I applaud the efforts of these producers in our province for developing such positive activities. We look forward to receiving performance data on the other project at Pipestone Feeders that will be reported in the February issue of Cattle Call.

Manitoba Mainstream

A BUSY MANITOBA SUMMER

Manitoba Hereford breeders have had a busy summer. The Manitoba Summer MOE Show was hosted by the Dauphin Ag. Society on July 1 and there were many 4-H achievements and interclubs throughout the province with the Hereford and Hereford nfluence animals placing very well. Another two events gave the breeders a chance to socialize, have some fun, and be able to look at good Hereford cattle.

PRESIDENT'S CUP GOLF TOURNAMENT

Another large group of golfers hit the links at the Pilot Mound Golf Course for the annual President's Cup Golf Tournament on Fathers Day, June 19. After much entertainment on the golf course under the Texas Scramble format, everyone ventured out to Guilford Hereford Farms for supper and refreshments. A delicious steak supper was served with Blair Rankin having his barbecue on wheels there for everyone to cook their own steaks. Both before and after supper, everyone had the chance to check out some of the Guilford Hereford Farms cattle near the yard as well as some on display from Guilford Farms.

When it came time to hand out the prizes, there was a tie for the lowest score.

After a chip off between the two teams, the team of Jayne Troop, Kevin and Stacey Perrin, and Mark Ryckman were declared the winners. For the second time in a row, Jayne was on the winning team and has bragging rights in the Troop household. Other prizes were handed out for men's and ladies longest drive, out-of-bounds on one hole, longest putt, etc.

Many thanks to all the sponsors of the golf prizes and to Don and Diane Guilford and family for their hospitality. Once again, a great day for visiting, fellowship, and some fun with your fellow breeders.

MANITOBA HEREFORD FIELD DAY

Roselawn Polled Herefords of Killarney hosted the MHA Field Day on August 7. A total of 25 bulls calves and 17 heifer calves were exhibited by 13 Manitoba breeders. About 15 cow/calf pairs were also on display and were judged in the pens. Cattlemen from Alberta , Saskatchewan., and Manitoba enjoyed the beautiful summer day.

Three judges, Darren Carvey of Alexander, Tony Dekeyser of Medora, and Ritchie Campbell of Minto placed the cattle with four or five animals per class. There were six classes of bull calves and four classes of heifer calves. All those in attendance also had the opportunity of participating by purchasing a ticket for $2.00 each and judging the classes themselves.

WLB Livestock of Douglas had the Champion Bull Calf with Guilford Hereford Ranch of Clearwater having the Reserve Grand Champion. The Champion Heifer Calf was owned by Glennethy Farms of Russell and Guilford Farms of Clearwater had the Reserve Champion. In the cow/calf class, the top three pairs were owned by Guilford Hereford Ranch, WLB Livestock, and Doug Troop Herefords of Brandon.

A delicious supper was served by the Mitchells with chief Chef, Blair Rankin, being in charge of the roasts. Before the winners of the cow/calf class were announced, a Calcutta was auctioned off with Robin Hogberg being the auctioneer.

Canadian President, Duncan Lees, brought greetings from the CHA. It was a great day and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and a big thank you for the hospitality of the Roselawn crew.
