POINTS TO PONDER
From the Field
Helge By
Wow what a
great spring for
the Charolais
breed and what
will the future
look like. We saw some new buyers in
the market and some that have tried
Charolais before expand the numbers
they are using. When you have the
order buyers and feedlot operators
using more Charolais bulls on their
own cows, with many of them being
blacks, you know the producers they
buy calves from are going to get the
message of what they should be using.
JGL Livestock, which is one of the
premier order buying firms in North
America, bought over 40 Charolais
bulls this spring to put on a portion of
their many thousand cows. Kirk
Sinclair, owner of Prairie Livestock at
Moosomin, Saskatchewan, added
another 40 Charolais bulls to his bull
battery to go on mainly black cows.
Highway 21 Feeders out of Alberta
increased their Charolais bulls in their
250 head bull battery and there were
more stories of producers adding
Charolais bulls to their black cows.
We have to resell the idea of
crossbreeding and the advantages of
it. I asked one cattleman who was
switching and his main goal was to
increase weaning weights. We know
the Charolais bull will calve and the
hybrid vigor should look after the
rest. Another producer who has
predominately straight bred Simmental
was impressed with the calving ease
and vigor at birth of his Charcross
calves. There are so many advantages
to crossbreeding that we need to tell.
It was an interesting time this
spring bull sale run. There were some
incredible positives in the Charolais
market and a few softer sales that are
hard to explain. The sales started off
strong and for the most part were that
6
way, although the later sales in the
season which historically see a
strengthening in prices saw some
pressures. I had one breeder from
Ontario email me this question and
have printed my response, which I think
sums up the last half of the bull sales.
What is your sense for the sales
being softer this year, when people
are getting more for their stockers
than they have for a long time?
This spring the stocker market was
dropping the further we went along
as the high cost of feed kept the
feedlots losing money. The fat cattle
market should be better than it is but
the US economy has put a cap on that
as well. There is also the fear of the
unknown with the new proposed
mCOOL changes the US have put
forward. This doesn’t look positive for
Canadian fat cattle going to be
harvested across the line.
I know out here, guys were just
getting grumpy with the long, hard
winter and attitude is very important
come sale day. Like in many areas, the
feed stacks were going down and the
price was going up and guys were
starting to count pennies to buy hay.
I also think that last year we sold a
lot of bulls and there are a lot of
young bulls in the industry and fewer
cows. Not that it affected Charolais,
but there are less commercial heifers
being bred this spring so not as many
heifer bulls were sold.
I am writing this on April 30th in
Regina and woke up this morning
with a bit of a blizzard with high
winds and 3 to 4 inches of snow. The
whole spring has been challenging for
everyone. There were not many sale
days across the country that didn’t
have some weather issues, be it snow,
freezing rain, bad roads or below
normal frigid temperatures, and I
think this contributed to some sales
that weren’t quite as good as
anticipated. I think many commercial
producers hadn’t realized it was
spring and they needed to buy bulls.
Many have not semen tested yet so
there will be some market still out
there between now and grass time.
Many sales offered increased numbers
after last year’s strong sale but
probably holding the numbers steady
would have been more in tune with
the market, as evidenced at the end of
the season.
There will be some higher calf
losses this spring as well, as many
producers weren’t equipped to handle
the colder than normal weather when
they started calving. Some have joked
that there will be two sorts this fall
selling calves – with and without ears.
We would like to welcome the new
General Manager of the Canadian
Charolais Association, Kelly Carson,
who introduces himself in this issue,
and thank the board of directors and
office staff who have put in extra time
in the last six months keeping things
caught up. It is always interesting
when fresh eyes come into an
organization and relook at how and
why we do things.
There are a number of provincial
association events taking place this
summer and I would encourage
everyone to attend as many within
and outside their province as possible.
For example the Saskatchewan
Association is celebrating 50 years in
conjunction with the CCA AGM.
Manitoba is having a picnic and cattle
display the end of June in Miami and
of course Ontario is hosting the CCYA
Conference and Show in Shelburne.
See you down the Charolais trail.
Until next time,
Helge

POINTS À RÉFLÉCHIR
Du Champ
Helge By
Aux ventes
de taureau ce
printemps réussie
était la race du
charolais. Il y
avait des nouveaux
acheteurs du taureau charolais et
dʹautres qui ont acheté à augmenter
leur nombre de taureaux du charolais.
Les acheteurs bovins et les opérateurs
des parcs d’engraissement ont acheté
plus de taureaux du charolais pour
employer dans leurs propres troupeau
de vaches ; la plupart de ces vaches sont
le couleur noire. « JGL Livestock » est
lʹun des premiers acheteurs bovins en
Amérique du Nord. Ils ont acheté plus de
40 taureaux du charolais ce printemps
pour multiplier avec leurs plusieurs
mille vaches. Kirk Sinclair est le
propriétaire du « Prairie Livestock » au
Moosomin, SK. Il a acheté 40 taureaux
du charolais pour multiplier avec ses
vaches principalement noires. «
Highway 21 Feeders » en Alberta emploie
250 taureaux pour multiplier ces vaches
et il a également accru le nombre de
taureaux du charolais ce printemps.
Nous devons revendre lʹidée du
croisement à un taureau du charolais et
rappeler les avantages de la croix des
ces veaux charolais à lʹindustrie de
boeuf. Jʹai demandé à un producteur
qui changeait en multiplier ses vaches
du taureau charolais et son but principal
était dʹaugmenter des poids de sevrage.
Nous savons que les femelles
multipliées à un taureau du charolais
vêlent et la vigueur hybride augmente
lʹexécution. Un autre producteur a été
impressionné de la facilité de vêlage et
de la vigueur à la naissance de ses
veaux croissé charolais, et lui il
multiplie habituellement ses vaches
simmental à un taureau simmental. Les
gens doivent être mis au courant les
avantages du croisement charolais.
Ce printemps il y avait quelques
positifs incroyables aux marcher du
charolais et quelques ventes qui qui
étaient moins réussis. Les ventes ont
commencé fort mais les ventes plus tard
dans la saison ont eu des difficultés à
vendre tous les taureaux pour de bons
8
prix. Historiquement les ventes
postérieures ont vu le renforcement dans
les prix. Il est difficile dʹexpliquer ce qui
est arrivé à ces ventes qui étaient moins
réussies. Un sélectionneur dʹOntario m’a
envoyé par courriel la question
suivante, et vous trouverez ma réponse.
‘Quand les producteurs sont payés
plus pour leur veaux qui vont aux parcs
d’engraissement ce quoi votre réponse
pour les ventes étant moins réussis ?’
Ce printemps les parcs
d’engraissement ont perdu l’argent à
cause du coût élevé dʹalimentation.
Pour cette raison le marché a diminué
pour des veaux destiné aux parcs
d’engraissement. Le marché aux
bestiaux gros devrait être meilleur ce
quʹil est mais lʹéconomie des États‐Unis
a mis une limite. Il y a également la
crainte de lʹinconnu avec les nouveaux
changements de « mCOOL » proposés
par les États‐Unis. Les bovins canadiens
gras envoyés à travers la frontière pour
l’abattage cette nouvelle proposition
n’est pas positive.
Moi je sais qu’ici dans l’ouest les
fermiers étaient vraiment frustrés avec
l’hiver qui quitte jamais. Lʹattitude est
très importante le jour de la vente. Dans
beaucoup de régions les provisions
dʹalimentation a été presque vide et le
prix de lʹalimentation augmentait. Les
vachers commençaient à compter leurs
pièces à acheter le foin.
Je pense également que nous avons
vendu lʹannée dernière beaucoup de
taureaux. Ces plus jeunes taureaux sont
encore productifs dans lʹindustrie et il y
a moins de vaches à multiplier.
Jʹécris cet article le 30 avril à Regina et
jʹai réveillé ce matin à une tempête de
neige avec de vents forts et trois à
quatre pouces de neige. Le printemps a
été dur pour chacun. La majorité de
ventes à travers le pays a eu des affaires
de temps si cʹétait la neige, la pluie de
congélation, mauvaises routes ou au‐
dessous des températures glaciales
normales. Ce mauvais temps a
contribué à quelques ventes nʹétant pas
aussi bonnes comme prévu. Je pense
beaucoup de producteurs commerciaux
nʹont pas réalisé que le printemps est
arrivé et cela quʹils ont dû acheter des
taureaux. Beaucoup de taureaux nʹont
pas encore été sperme examiné
pourtant tellement il y aura toujours un
certain marché dehors. Beaucoup de
sélectionneurs ont augmenté le nombre
de taureaux à vendre au lieu de
maintenir le même nombre que lʹannée
dernière. Démontré à la fin de la saison
de vente de taureau, le maintien du
même nombre de taureaux pour se
vendre aurait été plus approprié pour
le marché.
Il y aura une augmentation du
nombre de veaux perdu ce printemps.
Beaucoup de producteurs nʹont pas été
équipés pour manipuler des
températures plus froides que
normalement quand ils ont commencé
à vêler. Certains ont plaisanté qui les
veaux seront assorties dans deux
catégories cet automne à vendre – les
veaux avec des oreilles et les veaux
sans oreilles.
Nous voudrions faire bon accueil à
Kelly Carson, nouveau directeur
général de lʹassociation canadienne du
charolais. Il se présente dans cette revue
de la Charolais Banner. Nous
remercions également le conseil
dʹadministration et le personnel de
bureau qui ont travaillé extra‐dur les six
derniers mois pour maintenir les
services de bureau et d’adhésion. Il est
toujours intéressant quand quelquʹun
nouveau hérite une organisation pour
évaluer comment et pourquoi nous
faisons ce que nous faisons.
Il y a plusieurs événements
dʹassociation provinciaux cet été.
Jʹencourage chacun à assister à autant
dʹévénements comme possibles. Par
exemple, lʹassociation de Saskatchewan
célèbre 50 ans en même temps que
lʹassemblée générale annuelle
dʹassociation canadienne du charolais.
Manitoba a un pique‐nique et des
affichages de bétail à fin juin à Miami,
MB. Ontario accueille la conférence
dʹassociation de la jeunesse du charolais
et lʹexposition canadiennes dans
Shelburne, ON.
À la prochaine,
Helge

Hello! It is my great pleasure to
introduce myself to you. My name is
Kelly Carson and I am the new
General Manager of the Canadian
Charolais Association.
I was born and raised on the family
farm in northern Saskatchewan and
while I was growing up, my family
worked a mixed farming operation;
that is where my love of cattle was
nurtured. As a result, my career has
evolved through various agriculture
and business experiences over the past
25+ years.
I am certainly looking forward to
taking on my role with the Charolais
Association and to work with a breed
that has put its share of money into my
pockets over the years. Having worked
at 27,000 and 35,000 head feedlots I
know which breeds of cattle make
money and which don’t. I have
participated in many trials on Charolais
and Charolais‐influenced cattle and I
know first‐hand that the Charolais
breed succeeds.
My role as the General Manager will
be to support the Board of Directors
and Officers of the Charolais
Association. I am committed to
working with all of the Association
members to help grow the breed even
further and to help bring the Charolais
influence to even greater heights. On
behalf of the Association, I am
committed to representing the best
interests of our members on everything
cattle‐related throughout Canada and I
look forward to spending time getting
to know the members on their farms.
As your General Manager, I want to
hear your opinions and comments
whenever you have something on your
mind. I will answer my phone when it
rings and I will respond to all emails.
This country was built on the backs
of our family‐run farms and it will
continue to move forward in that
manner. That is why I feel it is so
vitally important to have extremely
strong relationships with all levels of
government because we need to use
our voice and have it heard. I want
to work with industry partners to
grow the beef business because that is
just the right thing to do. My dad
taught me many years ago and in his
words, it’s always best to “just do the
right thing.”
On the personal side, my wife,
Tracey, and I live in Cochrane, Alberta,
with our two loyal four‐legged
companions, Maggie & Shiloh. We
enjoy many outdoor pursuits including
camping, golf, hiking, mountain biking
and various other sports. We also love
to travel and are particularly drawn to
warm, sunny locales. It has been said
that behind every successful man is a
loving, supportive woman; in my case I
am fortunate to have a partner who has
always stood right by my side.
In closing, I look forward to working
with the Board, Officers and staff of the
Canadian Charolais Association, who
in the end all work for, and in the best
interests of, the membership. I have a
saying that I use from time to time;
someone can tell you they’ve done
things but if you can’t see the end
result, you may question if those things
were done in the first place. The way I
look at it, if I say I’m going to go and
pound fence posts, at the end of the
day, anyone can go count them. So, I
am now off to pound some posts.
Take care,
Kelly Carson

ASSOCIATION NEWS
Les Nouvelles de l’Association
Kelly Carson
Bonjour ! Il est
avec plaisir de
me vous présenter.
Je m’appelle
Kelly Carson et
je suis le nouveau
directeur général de lʹassociation
canadienne du charolais.
Jʹai grandi à la ferme de ma famille
dans le nord de la Saskatchewan où
ma famille avait une opération
cultivatrice mélangée. Mon amour de
bétail a été consolidé chez la ferme.
En conséquence les dernières 25 et
plus années les divers expériences
dʹagriculture et dʹaffaires a évolué
ma carrière.
Jʹattends avec intérêt mon rôle dans
lʹassociation et également à travailler
avec une race qui a mis sa part
dʹargent dans mes poches au cours
des années. Après avoir travaillé pour
des parcs d’engraissements de 27.000 à
35.000 têtes de bétail, je sais quelles races
10
de bétail font lʹargent et ce qui pas. Jʹai
participé à beaucoup dʹépreuves sur
les charolais et ceux influencé par le
charolais et je sais moi‐même le succès
de la race du charolais.
Mon rôle en tant que directeur
général sera de soutenir le conseil
dʹadministration et des dirigeants de
lʹassociation canadienne du charolais.
Je suis commis à travailler avec tous
l’adhésion de l’association pour
accroître le succès de la race et à
pousser lʹinfluence du charolais
encore à de plus grandes tailles. Au
nom de lʹassociation, je suis commis à
représenter les meilleurs intérêts de
nos membres sur tout connexe de
bétail au Canada. Jʹattends avec intérêt
de vous rencontrer, les membres de
l’association. Je veux entendre vos
avis, idées et commentaires comme
votre directeur général. Je répondrai à
mon téléphone quand il sonne et je
répondrai à tous vos courriels.
Ce pays a été construit sur les dos
de nos fermiers et il va continuer
comme ça. Cʹest la raison que je la
sens tellement importante d’avoir des
rapports extrêmement forts avec tous

HERD HEALTH
Closely Check Pastures at Turnout
for Potential Poisonings
Roy Lewis DVM
Much has been
written about the
classic lead poisonings we see when
cattle consume lead plates from
broken down batteries. There are
many other causes of poisonings in
cattle at pasture many of which cause
death and which there is no antidote.
We must prevent these whenever
possible. I have personally seen some
of these and will go over areas where
they are encountered and stress why
pastures need a quick check over each
spring before cattle are released.
There was a recent veterinary report
by Drs. Barry Blakely, Lorrie Fraser
and Cheryl Waldner on poisoning
by Sodium Chlorate, a herbicide and
type of soil sterilant. Because it has
sodium in it there is a salty taste
which attracts cattle. Our practice
also experienced this same poisoning
several years ago where a producer
lost over ten cows when some
Sodium Chlorate had been left on a
pasture. The cattle gained access
when they were turned out in the
spring. This case went to court but the
judge ruled the producer was at fault
for not checking the pasture before the
cattle were released and was as much
to blame as the person that had left
the product!
Cattle are inquisitive and are not
fussy eaters so will nibble at most
things. The products like sodium
chlorate and battery plates which are
also salty are especially hazardous.
My best advice is when checking
pastures pay close attention to three
main areas. One is fence lines
especially along roadsides. Products
can be thrown out of vehicles and get
onto your pastures. We have known
about batteries for a long time but
many more are now used for electric
fencers and solar water pumps. Don’t
leave these when they no longer
12
retain charge. Remove them and have
them properly recycled. Your problem
typically will not be right away but
after several years when the batteries
crack, break open and expose the
extremely toxic lead plates. After
several years of overgrowth these
batteries become extremely hard to find.
The second hazardous area is old
garbage dumps and burrow pits. Most
old farms had an area where old
equipment metal and other
miscellaneous garbage was left to
decompose or was burned. Check
these areas closely every spring and
fence them off if possible. Weathering
and the freeze thaw cycle may expose
hazardous products that were buried
long ago. Have a check through these
areas both at spring turnout and late
in the fall when pastures are short.
This is when cattle searching more
forage will start to root in bush areas.
Calves are very inquisitive and often
will be the first to consume these
products and show clinical signs.
Also because of their smaller size
need a much lower dose to develop
clinical signs.
The third and most common source
of poisonings is around abandoned
yard sites or abandoned vehicles.
Most old yard sites on the prairies are
left perhaps because of a sense of
nostalgia history and preserving our
heritage so they are never properly
cleaned up. Doors breakdown or
other openings are created for access
to buildings. Cattle will explore these
areas and old garages especially could
contain several old products which
could be very harmful to cattle. Years
ago all the paints were lead based and
there were much less controls on
herbicides insecticides cleansers and
the like. Containers or bags slowly
breakdown over time. These old
garages have kept the elements like
rain or snow from breaking down the
products. While these old archived
sites may contain some treasures like
stashes of money they may also
contain very harmful products for
your livestock. Check them out.
Any time you rent or take over new
pasture be sure and ask the owner if
there are any old yard sites, dump
areas, or other places the public has
access too. The yard sites may be
secluded in the bush and hard to find.
Other questions asked may be has any
stuff been hauled in like fill dirt or
other products from industrial sites.
Has their been any gas or oil activity
where lots of people, equipment and
products have accessed the land.
Check your own premises closely
this spring before turnout. An
especially good time is when checking
and repairing fences. Properly remove
and recycle old batteries and any
other toxic chemicals not in use. Even
if livestock recover from toxic
ingestion with products such as lead
there is also the age old question
when would the milk or meat be fit to
be consumed? These various
compounds can often cause
permanent internal organ damage
resulting in poor doing unproductive
animals in the future as well. Some of
the insecticides there may be an
antidote for but that is if they are
founds in time and that rarely is the
case as most of these poisonings
occur at pasture in the spring or fall
when cattle are not being observed
as closely.
Be diligent, check this spring and
let’s try to avoid the panic call of
several dead cattle being found. This
is especially traumatic when it is
preventable. This is true to the saying,
an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure. Happy grazing.

Two days before the roads were
closed and the side road to the CSS
sale barn was blocked for a ¼ mile
about 8 feet deep. Many area
customers were not dug out for days
and thus the smaller crowd. The
people that did make it bought and
the telephone did the rest. Breeders
bought the front end of this powerful

2013 Spring Bull Sale Summary
2nd Highest Average Ever — 2nd Largest Grossing Spring Ever at over $10.5 million
According to statistics, the 2013 overall

results.
There were 77 sales reporting in 2013
with the overall average down a slight
$352 and 79 more lots selling. Total gross

with 6 1/6 more lots selling in 2013.
There were 98 more two‐year‐old bull

Bull Sale Chart Notes:
• Statistics are from fall 2012 sales with
more than 10 bulls and spring 2013
bull sales
• No U.S. bull sales are included in
the chart.
• The sales with fall long‐yearlings
were treated as two year old bulls.
It is the breeders’ responsibility to submit a sale summary to the Charolais Banner oﬃce (by fax, email or phone) to ensure that their sale is included
in the chart and further statistics. Unless the Charolais Banner oﬃce receives a report, no information will be shown for that sale.

The Canadian Charolais Youth Association Conference and Show
COMPETITION AND SHOW RULES AND REGULATIONS
COMPETITION RULES
1. Entry The Canadian Charolais Youth Association (CCYA) show and Conference is open to all youth members in Canada or
foreign countries who are registered members of their respective associations. Canadian members must have paid their
$15.00 active membership fee to the CCYA or their $25 active membership fee to the CCA to be able to participate in the
conference (see http://youth.charolais.com/membership for more information). CCYA members may include their $15
membership fee with their application form for the Conference and Show. Registration for the Conference enters the youth
members in all competitions.
2. Ages The age division for the competitions will be: Junior: 12 and under; Intermediates: 13-16 years; Seniors; 17-21
years, as of January 1 of the current year.
3. Photography Competition The photography competition is open to all participants. The photograph must be taken by
the youth member exhibiting it. Photos should depict the purebred or commercial Charolais industry. Points will be
awarded on clarity, quality, originality and relationship to the Charolais industry. Presentation and/or framing is not
permitted. Photos must not be larger than 8” X 10”. Bring your photo entry to the conference and enter when you register.
Only one photo per exhibitor will be accepted. Pictures entered in past competitions will not be accepted.
4. Art Competition The art competition is open to all participants. All artwork must be done by the youth submitting it.
The artwork must depict something directly related to the Charolais industry. It cannot contain photographs. Any medium

encouraged but no points are awarded on this basis. Artwork must be brought to the conference and entered when you

competitions will be used in aggregate and scholarship points. Artwork entered in past competitions will not be accepted.
5. Showmanship Competition The showmanship competition will be divided into the three age categories. Animals will
be made available for participants not exhibiting in conformation. If the youth have their own animal, it must be used for
the competition. Showmanship will be a non-fit/dry-brush competition; animals that have been fitted will not be allowed
to be used for the competition. The assigned ring marshal’s decision will be final.
6. Team Grooming Competition The team grooming competition will be twenty minutes in length. Teams of junior,
intermediate and senior participants will be arbitrarily made prior to the show. Yearling heifers will be used exclusively for
the competition. Heifers are to be washed and clipped prior to the competition but dressing prior to commencement will
result in disqualification. Teams will be evaluated on the use of equipment, knowledge, skill, involvement, final appearance
and presentation of the heifer. The judge will select up to three teams in each split to bring their heifer back to compete for
the overall title. Teams that qualify for the final, if available, will have an hour to groom an unclipped animal. If not
available, teams will have an additional 5 minutes per team to touch up the original animal in the show ring. The use of
unethical or artificial fitting practices will result in immediate disqualification and under no circumstances will be tolerated.
7. Team Selling/Judging Competition All participants will choose between team marketing and team judging. This will
be chosen at the time of registration. Teams will be made up of two members who are in the same age category. Teams will
be made prior to the conference, but the committee reserves the right to modify teams based on actual attendance.
a. Team Selling. Each team will have approximately 5-7 minutes to sell an animal, embryo, semen or related product
to a prospective buyer. Teams will be judged on knowledge, enthusiasm, group cooperation/involvement, and overall
ability to convince and sell.
b. Team Judging The hosting province has the authority to choose if one or two classes will be judged. If expected to
judge two classes, in the first class one team member will be responsible for the ring-person duties and the other will
place the class and give a set of oral reasons to the audience. In the second class the team members will alternate
positions.
8. Individual Marketing Individual marketing evaluates participant’s ability to promote a product (or service). Time is
given at the conference; participants are not permitted to use/submit materials in advance.
c. Junior: Individuals are given a choice of individual selling, or developing promotional item - one of: a radio ad, or a
magazine ad. Tape recorders and art supplies will be provided for the ads. Forty-five (45) minutes will be given for
individuals to prepare their marketing campaign.
d. Intermediate: Participants will be required to compare and critique two advertisements of the same medium, and
will be judged on logic and effectiveness. Participants will be judged in originality, and content. Forty-five (45) minutes
will be given for individuals to complete their questionnaire.
e. Senior: Individuals will be required to develop a marketing plan for a specific scenario. The product/service will be
selected by the organising committee prior to the conference. A set of questions will be provided as a template for the
plan, as well as necessary background information. Forty-five (45) minutes will be given for individuals to prepare their
marketing plan. Plans will be submitted in writing and will be judged on logic, clarity, creativity and originality, and
effectiveness.
For Intermediates and Seniors the top 5 participants, based on their written marketing piece, may be asked to return and
given a face-to-face sales pitch to the judge.
9.Keep and Cull Competition Participants will compete individually and learn the basics of keeping females in the herd
on the criteria of past performance and appearance. Members will be given EPD’s and a farm based scenario according to
the competitors age category, as developed by the judge prior to competition, and will be expected to select three females
from a pen of five. A class will be held by the judge prior to the competition to explain the fundamentals of EPD’s and what
the industry is looking for in today’s producing animals.
10. Judging Competition Members will compete individually and will judge classes of steers, females, and bull calves.
Junior participants will be expected to complete written reasons on three classes and oral reasons on one class, as
determined by the organising committee. The time limit for each class will be 20 minutes. The Intermediate and Senior
participants will complete the same classes and be required to submit placings cards as well as complete oral reasons on all
three classes.

yearling heifers or bull calves. Junior members will only complete one set of reasons on a chosen class. Only junior
members will be allowed to refer to their judging cards while giving their oral presentation. There will be a time limit of
two minutes.
12. Herdsmanship Competition The organising committee will group youth exhibiting with those youth without cattle
at the Conference and Show. This allows for juniors without cattle to help those with cattle and to meet new people. All
members are encouraged to help keep their alley swept and clean and to help one another out. Teams will be limited to a
maximum of six members and will be made by organisers according to the youth members’ experience/age and the
number of animals to be cared for by the team. A select group of unknown judges will be monitoring the activities of the
participants and will compare notes to pick the winners. All families with cattle will be in the same herdsman group unless
notified by the families that this is unwanted. Farm signs will not be permitted.
13. The Grant Moffat Memorial Ambassador Award Members will be evaluated on the helpfulness, willingness,
encouragement, spirit, and general attitude towards the conference and fellow participants. A select group of unknown
