POINTS TO PONDER
From the Field
Helge By
Since my last
article nearly two
months ago,
things have been
steadily getting
more exciting in
the cattle business and in particular
the Charolais industry. I am writing
this just after another very successful
fall show circuit and just before the
December fall sales. The renewed
interest in Charolais by the rest of the
seedstock and commercial industry
has been very interesting. As Craig
Scott told me he feels in the industry’s
eyes it is once again cool to be in the
Charolais breed. Charolais have won
many Supreme Championships this
fall, including Supreme Bull at the big
one, Canadian Western Agribition.
The number of out of breed people
that have been asking questions,
requesting catalogues and going
through the Charolais barns has been
very encouraging. By the time you
read this we will know better how it
all turns out, but even if it isn’t this
fall the seeds have been planted and
we will see many new breeders
entering the breed.
Candace and I went to the National
Charolais show at the Toronto Royal
and we saw lots of enthusiasm and
excitement and a very solid sale. We
continued to Louisville, Kentucky for
the U.S. National Show. We had never
been to this show and really enjoyed
seeing it and many acquaintances we
hadn’t visited with in years. In the
National sale a bred heifer sold for
$76,000. The next day this heifer was
Grand Champion but the interesting
thing was that she sold to a prominent
Shorthorn and Club calf operation.
We were told that she will be flushed
to club calf bulls to produce Charcross
show calves. It is hard for me to get
my head around this industry, but I
heard a couple of weeks before this a
prospect calf out of a steer bull and a
Charolais cow had sold for $51,000, so
the economics are there. Even at
Agribition the high selling prospect
steer at $7,000 was a steer bull sired
Charcross. Silver does seem to be
becoming the favorite colour.
The commercial calf market has
been very strong with reports across
Canada of some great prices. The
futures have also been setting new
highs recently and all indication is
that this is not a short term situation.
One report out of the states headlined
that feeder cattle will get scarce. With
fewer numbers of cattle going forward
this will become an even bigger
problem. The tightest supplies will
happen when heifers start being held
back to rebuild the herd in Texas and
Oklahoma after the severe drought
this past year. A Canadian analyst
recently predicted that feeder calf
prices would move up strongly in the
next month and feed grain and corn
prices are expected to trend lower,
longer-term. This is all good news as
the feeders’ cost of gain will drop and
the new highs of the choice wholesale
beef prices have given the packing
industry better margins.
Many breeders have seen more
traffic through the bull pen earlier than
normal. There is greater interest in the
bull market and this should lead to
higher prices being paid in the spring
for the high quality Charolais bulls.
Don’t sell your bull pen short of its
profit potential. With the commercial
prices higher, now is the time for you
to reap some of the rewards being
paid to the industry.
Bull sale season is just around the
corner and now is the time to plan
your pictures, advertising and
promotion of your bull pen. Craig and
I will be hitting the road right after
the new year so contact us early.
All of us thank you for the support
over the past year and wish you a
very Merry Christmas and may 2012
be the most profitable Charolais
year ever.
Until next time,
Helge
POINTS À RÉFLÉCHIR
Du champ
Helge By
Les affaires de bétail étaient plus
passionnantes pendant les deux
derniers mois, en particulier dans
l’industrie du charolais. J’écris ceci juste
après une autre série d’expositions
d’automne réussie et juste avant les
ventes de décembre. L’intérêt renouvelé
pour le charolais est très intéressant. Il
se sent dans les yeux de l’industrie que
c’est de nouveau « cool » à être dans la
race du charolais indique Craig Scott.
Les charolais ont gagné beaucoup de
championnats suprêmes cet automne, y
compris Taureau suprême chez
Canadian Western Agribition.
Le nombre de personnes qui ne
possèdent pas le charolais qui a posé
des questions, a demandé les catalogues
de vente et a regardé par les granges du
charolais encourage très. Nous ne
savons pas en ce moment lesquelles de
ces personnes intéressées achèteront le
charolais, mais l’idée est là et nous
verrons beaucoup de nouveaux
éleveurs se lancer dans la race.
Candace et moi nous sommes allés à
l’exposition nationale du charolais à
Toronto Royal et nous avons vu
beaucoup d’enthousiasme, excitation et
une vente très solide. Nous avons
continué à Louisville, Kentucky pour
l’Exposition nationale des États-Unis.
Nous n’avions jamais été à cette
exposition et nous avons eu vraiment le
plaisir à voir l’exposition et beaucoup
de connaissances que nous n’avions pas
rendues visite avec en des années.
Dans la vente nationale une génisse
multipliée s’est vendue pour 76.000$.

Semen Auction Success
Sarah Weinbender, Secretary
I am your
newly elected
Secretary on the
National Board.
This is my first
year on the
National Board and I am very excited
to experience what the National Board
is all about this year. I am currently
enrolled in my first year at the
University of Saskatchewan in the
College of Agriculture and
Bioresources, working towards a
degree in Animal Science.
I recently returned home from
Agribition 2011 in Regina. It was great
to meet up with old friends and even
meet some new youth and breeders in
the barns. Our annual Semen Auction
was held at the Agribition National
Sale. Great job to Kirstin for putting

Canada de quelques grands prix. Le
futur également avait placé de
nouvelles hautes récemment et toute
l’indication est que ce n’est pas une
situation à court terme. Un rapport qui
vient des États-Unis a mis en vedette
que le bétail de fabrication deviendra
rare. Les approvisionnements les plus
serrés se produiront quand des génisses
commencent à être tenues pour
reconstruire le troupeau dans le Texas et
l’Oklahoma après la sécheresse grave
l’année passée. Un analyste canadien a
récemment prévu que les prix de veau
d’engraissement augmenteraient
fortement le mois prochain. Aussi les
prix de céréale fourragère et de maïs
tendent plus bas pour le plus long
terme. C’est toutes les bonnes nouvelles
car le coût de gain des engraisseurs
chutera et les nouvelles hautes des prix
en vente en gros de boeuf ont donné les
marges mieux d’industrie d’emballage.
Plus tôt que la normale beaucoup
d’éleveurs ont vu plus de trafic par
l’enclos de taureau. Il y a un plus grand
intérêt pour le marché de taureau qui
devrait apporter des prix plus élevés
aux ventes ce printemps pour des
taureaux charolais de bonne qualité. Ne
vendez pas votre enclos de taureau
pour moins de son potentiel de profit.
La saison de vente de taureau arrive
bientôt et maintenant est l’heure de
projeter vos images et planifier la
promotion de votre enclos de taureau.
Craig et moi voyagerons bien après la
nouvelle année ainsi contactez-nous tôt.
Pour votre soutien nous vous
remercions et vous souhaitons un Noël
très joyeux. Laissez 2012 être l’année du
charolais la plus profitable que jamais.

HERD HEALTH
Abortions in Beef Cattle
Roy Lewis, DVM
Abortion can
be one of the
greatest losses to
the cow-calf and
purebred beef
producer from
fall onwards. There are a great number
of causes for abortion. Unfortunately
some 24 - 50% of these causes go
undiagnosed. The article that follows
outlines the most common causes of
abortion in beef cattle and discusses
those factors that are responsible for
obtaining a definitive diagnosis.
Abortions may occur in the early
stages of pregnancy and are revealed
at pregnancy checking time as open
cows. If a high percentage of open
heifers or cows are found at this time
your veterinarian may want to pursue
various forms of testing to identify the
cause. If bull evaluation does not
reveal any deficiencies then the cow
herd becomes the focus. Nutritional
10
status of the herd is questioned as
deficiencies of selenium, copper,
vitamin A, phosphorous, and iodine
can be responsible for open cows.
Should the open cows go for slaughter
the veterinarian may ask that the
reproductive tracts of these cows be
obtained, examined, and tested for
certain infectious reproductive diseases.
It is important to realize that
abortions stem from problems not
only with the individual fetus, but
with environmental and maternal
problems also.
Because most aborted fetuses do not
reveal any gross abnormalities, further
diagnostic workup is required to
identify the cause of death.
Microscopic evaluation of fetal tissues
and culturing of stomach contents are
two such workup procedures. It is
important that the aborted fetus be as
fresh as possible. This can be vital to
obtaining information.
Submission of the placenta doubles
the chances of a diagnosis. Once
again, it should be as fresh as
possible. The fetus and the placenta
should be placed in separate clean
plastic bags and kept cool. If the cow
still has some retained placenta it is
best to pull out this portion ensuring
it contains a cotyledon, snip it and
submit it. Obtaining a diagnosis from
aborted fetuses and placenta
contaminated with soil, straw, and
manure is truly a diagnostic challenge
and often unrewarding.
An abortion rate of two to three
percent over the latter stages of
pregnancy is considered normal.
However abortions which occur close
together may be a concern. Watch
closely around six months gestation
for telltale signs of abortion such as a
wet tail or retained placenta.

Murray Oram, aged 60 years of
Central Butte, Saskatchewan, passed
away in a car accident Sunday,
November 27th, 2011. He was
predeceased by his father, Reg;
brother Chris and his wife Anne; and
by his wife, Barb. Murray is survived
by his three children: son Ryan
(Melissa), daughter Audra, and son
Cole (Cathy); grandchildren:
Christopher and Nicole, Greg and
Tristan; his very special friend,
Donna Brewster and her son and
daughter and their families; his
mother, Elizabeth (Betty); brothers
and sisters: Kathy Martin (Ken
Piller), Judy (Ian) MacMillan, Kim
(Don) Harder, Mark (Deb) Oram,
Kerry (Dianne) Oram and Shane
(Doris) Oram; and all his nieces,
nephews and their families.
His beginning goes back, as many
Charolais stories do, to a basis in 4-H.
In 1966 Murray raised a Charcross
4-H calf purchased from Wendel
Schinold. Murray started in the
Charolais breed in the late sixties and
was a founding member of the
original junior association in the
early 70s called the Canadian Youth
Charolais Association. He sat as the
junior representative on the SCA
board at the time as well.
Murray and his family were
Valley’s End Ranch and worked
closely with Edgar Philpott and the
Butte Lee Charolais operation when
they got started.

Wade Beck, who presented the

Charolais Association Honour Scroll”.
They are still young but have left their
mark on the Charolais industry not
only in Saskatchewan but across
Canada and around the world.
Besides having the high averaging
bull sale in Canada for many years
they have contributed their time and
talents to the Saskatchewan Charolais
Board with both of them being
secretary of the association for many
years combined. They have also been
big promoters of the Canadian
Charolais Youth Association and
helped with organizing of past
conferences. Cam also has been
president of the Saskatchewan
Charolais Association and the
Canadian Charolais Association. One
of his biggest impacts has been in the

HERD HEALTH, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10
If several abortions have occurred together your
veterinarian will want to pursue several avenues in an
attempt to diagnose the problem. A history detailing
nutrition, vaccination protocol, introductions of new
heifers or cows to the herd, and the environmental
conditions are vital to understanding the nature of
the problem.
The body condition of those cows/heifers that have
aborted and their herd mates are evaluated. Aborted
cows and their herd mates will have blood samples
taken and one or two caruncles (uterine biopsies) may
be taken from recently aborted cows.
The most common infectious causes of abortion in
our region are IBR (Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis)
and BVD (Bovine Viral Diarrhea). IBR is a virus and
causes abortions primarily in the last trimester (6 to 9
months). Even though exposure may have been months
earlier, abortion usually does not occur until the sixth
month of gestation. Calves carried to full term may be
born weak.
The consequences of BVD infection depends on when
contact is made with the fetus. If the fetus is exposed to
the virus before 100 days of gestation, abortion and
mummification are the consequences. If contact with
the virus occurs in the middle third of the pregnancy,
congenital abnormalities of the nervous system and
eyes are evident. Contact in the last trimester of
pregnancy generally results in normal healthy calves
with titers against BVD or other times the fetus is born
alive but persistently infected meaning it is shedding
the BVD virus.
Other infectious causes of abortion include
leptospirosis, vibriosis, neospora, listeriosis, brucellosis,
and trichomoniasis. These are less common and
methods to prevent these causes would be dealt with at
the time of diagnosis. Now very accurate DNA tests on
blood semen from bulls or manure can help pinpoint if
infection is present.
It is pretty much standard for beef producers to
vaccinate for the IBR and BVD viruses. Two types of
products are available. A killed vaccine product is safe
to give pregnant animals but requires two shots the first
year and annual vaccination in subsequent years. The
second, a modified live vaccine, gives better immunity
than the killed vaccines, is less expensive and is best
given just before the breeding season. If the BVD and
IBR vaccine status is protective cows can even be
vaccinated in late pregnancy with most of the live
vaccines. Get the okay from your veterinarian first
before proceeding with this. The product that is chosen
is dependent upon the management practice of the
producer. Vaccines should be selected based on how
individual herd conditions mesh with the advantages
and disadvantages of the two types of vaccines. Most
research on the new vaccines prove fetal protection on
their labels.
Your local veterinarian can best advise you as to

MANAGEMENT
The Three
Rules of
Vaccination
Bryan Hicks, DVM
Being both a veterinarian and a
Charolais breeder, I am asked regularly what vaccination
program I use on my own cows. It is the same program I
recommend to all my clients. I use a killed vaccine program,
namely Triangle 9 (not that I am promoting a specific
product). I vaccinate in the fall with Triangle 9 and a scour
vaccine. I vaccinate again with Triangle 9 in the spring prior
to turn out. The leptospirosis component of the vaccine will
protect against abortion while on pasture.
I have three rules for vaccinating.
Rule #1: Vaccinate with something because anything is
better than nothing.
Independent research studies indicate that a combination
of modified live vaccine (MLV) and killed vaccine given
three times gives the optimal protection. But disease
protection only needs to be adequate and you will never
see any difference in health issues between adequate
and optimal.
When calves where coming to town unvaccinated and
neither they nor their mothers had any immune status,
then the MLV stimulated a strong enough response to
protect the calf with one dose – even though a second was
recommended. But those days of animals with zero
exposure and immunity are gone - especially if you have
a vaccination history. All animals have some level of
immunity and any vaccine will elicit an adequate
immune response.
Rule #2: Vaccinate with something because anything is
better than nothing.
MLV vaccines should be given prior to breeding. But
sometimes life gets in the way and a birth, death, wedding
or special person gets between you and your program. In
contrast, killed vaccines may be given at any time to any
animal without any unfavourable response. I am long
enough in the tooth to remember using MLV vaccines to
abort feedlot heifers in the early days of vaccination.
These vaccines contained the same agents used in MLV
vaccines today.
I talk to people who missed vaccinating on time and then
quit because they had missed some animals. I talk to people
who thought they had vaccinated with a MLV vaccine, or
thought their employees had. They found out later that they
had a huge problem with abortions because no one had
vaccinated. I talk to people that have several abortions after
vaccinating who wonder “if the vaccine runs down the neck
after needling does it still work?”. Yes, I talk to a lot of
people. I also listen to them. I maintain that the risks of
MLV vaccines do not outweigh the perceived benefits. If you

BREEDER PROFILE
Candace By
Medonte Charolais
Quality – Not Quantity – Is Their Motto
s
ome people consider a boat and
a tackle box their ideal
entertainment, but for Allan Miller, a
stock trailer and tack box is a source
of enjoyment.
Allan was raised on a farm with a
commercial cow operation. He never
participated in 4-H but when he was
16-18 years of age he took an interest
in purebreds. “The performance of the
Charolais was just so impressive, I
pressured my Dad to get some. He
bought a few over the next couple of
years and I bought my first female in
the fall of 1980 at a sale in Lindsay
from Bud Burgess of Wheelin’ B
Charolais,” Allan states.
In 1988 they bought one of the
family farms from Allan’s parents one
half mile down the road from where
his parents continue to farm. “Having
that family support over the years has
been essential.” In the spring of 1990
he took an A.I. course and has bred
his own cows ever since. “Conception
rates went up and there is a greater
sense of satisfaction breeding your
own and not relying on a unit
technician. With the cowherd
numbers, going out and spending
good money on a quality walking bull
couldn’t be justified, so A.I. was the
way to go. You also soon find out
which are your most fertile cows and
cull accordingly.”
20
The addition of SVY
Freedom Pld 307N in the fall
of 2003 to the A.I. lineup has
had a huge impact on the
Medonte operation and he
was used again this year for
the 8th consecutive year.
“Freedom has had the ability
to produce a superior product
regardless of the type of
cow.” Last fall in the
Agribition sale, Medonte
were part of a group of
breeders that bought
the Canadian semen rights in
TR Mr Firewater 5759R. “His
impact has already been felt this fall,
with his service to sale heifers
averaging $5200. We anxiously await
his calves in early 2012.”
Embryo transplant is also being
used as a tool for advancement, with 5
or 6 Simmie x Red Angus commercial
cows used as recipients. The SVY FPF
Starstruck 569R cow is now in their
transplant program. She produced
two ET Freedom sired heifer calves in
2011 and they anticipate three more in
2012. She’ll be flushed again this fall
to Firewater and again to Freedom
after that.
“Right from the start it had to be
about quality not quantity. Brenda
and I have always worked full time
off the farm and we knew quantity
Allan and Brenda at Agribition in 2004
just wasn’t an option. We have
traveled to work together every day
25 miles to Barrie. Brenda has worked
in the office at Barrie Welding &
Machine for 30 years and I have
worked for the City of Barrie for 25
years this December. I started as a
labourer and applied for an opening
in the water department shortly after I
started. It was easy for farm kids to
get jobs because employers knew farm
kids weren’t afraid of a little hard
work. When I was 27, the supervisor
of the department retired and they
offered me the job. I didn’t even
apply. Looking back now, I was way
too young. I was supervising men 20
years my senior and that had been
there a lot longer. I survived by not
asking anybody to do anything I
wouldn’t do myself. You quickly
become thick skinned in a supervisory
position and I was burning out after
18 years in that position. Being able to
come home after a rough day at work
and work on the show string has
always been a source of stress relief. I was ready to quit and look for
something else when they created a
new position for me, Water
Operations Technical Advisor. It’s
great, now I review all proposed
water infrastructure, from building
permits, site plans, subdivision
development to redevelopment of
older areas. I’m out of the supervisory
role and am enjoying my work. Now
it’s all about the pension,” he says
with a grin.
With their full time employment
work load, they can only handle
20-25 females, but they have to be
really good.
“In 1995 we bought a truck and
trailer and we have been showing
ever since.” It was their daughter
Allison’s first year in 4-H. Back then,
it was nothing to do 12-15 shows each
year ending at the Royal Winter Fair
in Toronto. Many a Labour Day
weekend they would show in
Kinmount on Saturday, Orangeville
on Sunday and drive 4 hours to
Belleville to show on Monday; only
to be home to go to work Tuesday
morning. “The thought of it now
just blows me away,” Allan says
shaking his head in amazement of
their energy and dedication.
Although Allan was never in 4-H
and has some regrets about it, he
feels he has lived the whole
experience through Allison. “The
need to have good ones became
more important because I wanted
her to have a good one in the ring.”
Lindsay, their youngest daughter,
also knows good cattle and what it
takes to win, but doesn’t share the
interest in having an upfront,
participatory role. “She can sit in the
stands and tell us which animal
should have won the class, and
why, but the only time we’ll get her
to lead an animal in the ring is when
we don’t have enough people for a
group class and we can put her in
the middle. She’s much happier
looking after things at the stall.”
21
In 2002, Allison was Champion
Showman in the National Junior Show
at the Toronto Royal. “It was such a
great moment, I think I had tears in
my eyes. I definitely lived the 4-H
experience through her.” Allan
attributes her success in part to the
CCYA program. He feels the kids that
do well in these competitions are the
purebred kids and it’s because of their
depth of training.
Not being in 4-H, they did have a
steep learning curve when they
started to show. Alan
Ross and family, of
Rossdale Charolais,
were a lot of help. They
used to travel the show
road together.
Everybody in the
Charolais business in
Ontario gets along.
There is no animosity
and everybody helps
each other out. “We
know that if we pull
together, everybody
benefits. There are
new people in the barn
showing at the Royal
for the first time this
year and that is good
for the breed.”
“Now we only do four to five
shows a year. It’s all about getting
ready for the Royal. If we could do it
in two to three shows we probably
would. We’re in a transition now.
Allison and Shane have small children
and we don’t take the normal 8-10
head we used to take to shows. Now
we only have four or five. We’ll
continue with this until the
grandchildren are a little older and I
can become the truck driver and cheer
on their involvement. Brenda has

already transitioned to enjoying being
a grandmother more than enjoying
showing cows. Shane also has
purebred sheep and does well
breeding and showing them. The
future direction of Medonte Charolais
will depend on their interest.”
Allison and Shane live five miles
away and their two and a half year
old daughter, Brooklyn, can't go by
Grandma and Grandpa's house
without asking to stop. “It is always
on the way home from work and
Brooklyn wants to help me feed the
cattle – and she knows what gets fed
what. Many times Brooklyn is waiting
for us to get home from work so she
can help with chores. It won’t be long

and she will be on the show road with
us. Recently Allison went into her
room and saw her with a piece of
hose pointing it all around her
rocking horse. When she asked what
she was doing, the response was
‘washing cows just like Grandpa’,”
Allan shares with pride.
Son-in-law Shane Cramp shared
with philosphical amusement, “there
are two things that make Allan smile,
his cows and his grandkids.”
For the size of their herd, they have
done very well. They have competed
along side and above herds of
considerably larger numbers.
Brian, Wanda and Lyle Dudgeon
were also very helpful in their early
years on the show road. They were
instrumental in getting them to attend
Agribition for the first time in 1996.
They took a yearling heifer and won
the Upjohn All Breed Supreme
Championship, with Medonte
Elegance 7E. Allan thought it was all
too easy, but their focus on quality
was paying off.
In 2002, they had the Charolais
Champion in the 1st Lady Classic,
with Medonte Lace 7L. In both cases
these females stood second in class in

the Charolais show and Allan was
very proud of their showing. At the
time they only had ten to twelve
cows in their herd and were able to
compete with the best in the country.
The show highlights don’t stop
there. In 2003 they exhibited the
Reserve Grand Champion Female,
with Medonte Lace 7L, and Reserve
Grand Champion Bull, with XAL
Letterhead 9L, at the Royal. In 2005
they exhibited the Grand Champion
Female, with Medonte Lace 7L, at the
NABC in London. Also in the fall of
2005 they were fortunate enough to
purchase SVY FPT Starstruck 569R in
the Agribition sale from Voegeli Bros
and Footprint Farms, as the high
selling lot. She went on to be
crowned Reserve Grand Champion
Female the following day at side of
her dam. In 2007 they exhibited the
Reserve National Champion Female,
with Medonte Rumours 9R, at the
Royal and sold a half interest in her
to Circle Cee Charolais, Lamont,
Alberta. They have continued to be
friends with the Cholaks and keep in
frequent contact. It is one of the
special bonuses they have
experienced in the business. The
friendships mean a lot.
“We sold the high selling bred
heifer to Elder Charolais at the
Uppin’ the Ante sale this year. We
want to have good cattle that we
know will go and do the job for their
new owners. We want to sell cattle
with a good conscience, knowing
they will go on and perform. I was so
happy she won National Junior
Female Champion for them. It’s what
we expect our cattle to do. I am sure
we have made new friends with the
Elders and will continue the
friendship for years to come,” Allan
states confidently. It is what he feels
the business is about, producing a
product that will keep producing,
building relationships between
people across the country.
This year they bred 31 and found it
just to be too many. Although it did
allow them the opportunity to offer
six breds in sales this fall through the
Uppin’ the Ante and the National
Sale at the Toronto Royal. Their cattle
averaged $3850 in the Uppin’ the
Ante sale and their high selling bred
heifer in the National sale
brought $7750.
The downsizing of their show
string had its disadvantages this
year. Allan felt he could have sold
four or five heifer calves as show
prospects this year. Through
diligent efforts to select and breed
stronger and improved cattle and
showing them to promote the herd
name with the quality, he has
created a demand for his product
that is now reaping the rewards.
Since the inception of their website
a year ago, they have received
inquiries for embryos and
seedstock. “We haven’t done
anything different. We have the
same quality and show history,
we’ve just raised our awareness and
profile a notch higher. The website
has been good for the program.”
So where does Medonte go from
here? Well, they will continue to
show and stress quality over
quantity. Until the grandchildren
become more involved the show
string may be smaller, but keeping
things in the family, Allan’s cousin,
Erin Briggs, has given them a fresh
sense of enthusiasm with her keen
sense of competitiveness. She's
filling that gap right now and I find
myself attending shows to watch
her compete, even if we don't have
cattle there. You know when the
Medonte crew comes to town, there
will be intense competition and the
cattle will be ready, but the warmth,
friendship and support they offer
fellow breeders only raises
everyone higher.
When you visit the Medonte
home, the love of Charolais is ever
present. Within arm’s reach of
“Allan’s chair” is a multi shelf book
stand with all the Charolais Banners
in it. “Looking back at some of
those issues in the 1980s, I wonder
what in the world we were
thinking! We have it right now
though with the maternal side of
the breed having made huge strides
in the last decade. We also need to
remember what made this breed
and that’s performance. We have to
ensure the paternal side of the
breed continues to make strides
with performance, while

HERD HEALTH, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17
additional vaccines that may be
recommended against reproductive
diseases in your geographic area.
Purebred herd managers may need to
exercise particular caution as most
purebred herds are considered open
herds. Cattle are often taken to shows
and displays, all of which increases
their exposure to both respiratory and
reproductive diseases.
Many abortions are incidental and
due to trauma, stress, twinning,
maternal illness causing death of the
fetus, and congenital defects of the
fetus with subsequent abortion.
Therefore abortion is a common
encounter for many producers.
Cooperation between the producer,
the veterinarian and the lab will
maximize the opportunity to diagnose
the cause of an abortion. A diagnosis
is very important as future
recommendations are often based
upon this diagnosis. Preventive
measures can then be undertaken
where applicable. Keep in mind if
cattle are trucked, go to shows or
auction markets the additional stress
and potential exposure to disease can
cause the abortion rate to raise. Also
with purchased bred cattle try and get
some history of their vaccination
status against reproductive diseases.
3 RULES OF VACCINATION, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19
smoke in the haymow long enough,
sooner or later you will burn the
barn down.
Rule #3: Vaccinate with something
because anything is better than nothing.
Killed vaccines come ready to use.
You should use the entire bottle at
once but if you don’t get done today
25
you can finish tomorrow provided
you used a new needle to enter the
bottle each time. MLV vaccine should
be used within 6 hours. A rough
estimate is that 40% more MLV vaccine
gets mixed than used due to package
sizing. This is not such an issue in the
bigger herds but certainly has an
economic impact in the smaller groups.
A good working relationship with
your veterinarian means that you
follow his or her recommendations for
your herds’ needs and disease pressure.
If geography or circumstances do not
allow you to have such a relationship,
just remember the 3 rules of vaccination.

WHAT’S NEW
On the weekend of October 22, 23
& 24 the board of directors held their
fall meetings at the CCA office.
These meetings are the largest
face-to-face meetings conducted
through-out the year, also provincial
representatives attended and the
Strategic Planning Committee (SPC)
convening for the first time in
three years.
The SPC held meetings on the
first day with a series of questions
being listed for discussion and
possible outcomes with their
recommendations forwarded to the
BOD for consideration on the second
day. Between the two committees
approximately 10 hours was spent in
deliberation with the discussion
going to and fro on most topics.
Although we were not able to
unearth a magic bullet to cure all ills,
the recommendations that were
forthcoming could lead to some
positive results.
In a review of the all of the SPC
meetings since 1990 it was striking
how many of the same topics had
been thrashed out over a 20 year
period. Due to the length of the SPC
minutes they will be posted on the
CCA website in due course.
Other highlights included the
financial report presented by finance
chair Brent Saunders. Brent provided
an update on the year to date by
presenting the September month-end
figures, which revealed two areas
still unclear. The unrealized income
or loss which is derived from the
CCA’s investment portfolio has been
an item that our auditors have
included in our financial statements
for about 4 years now, and with all
of the financial upheaval in the
world today it literally has
performed like a yo-yo in the past
4-5 months. We had projected a
small positive income in 2011;
however as of the end of September
it was posting a loss. Where it ends
this year will not be known until
December 31. The BOD did pass a
motion that as of January 1, 2012 the
auditor’s unrealized profit/loss
requirement will not be included in a
yearly budget although it will still be
included in the audited financial
statements of the CCA.
The other item that is still unsure
is the number of “W” females that
will be enrolled before the end of
2011. As many breeders had bred
animals for the highly touted export
to Russia in 2010, which as yet has
not happened, the CCA considered it
reasonable to allow breeders until
the end of 2011 to determine which
of those heifers they would actually
retain in their herds.
John Wilgenbusch as chair of the
Breed Improvement Committee
(BIC) informed the BOD that
although he had nothing specific to
report at this time, Dr Bob Kemp as
the genetic consultant for the CCA
has been working on two developing
reports regarding EPDs and a
Residual Feed Intake proposal due
for the committee’s review in March.
to access the “online registry”
sometime early in the new-year.
Programming is in progress to
enable this.
New Disposal code sheets will
be mailed out to our members
and will be available to “online”
users shortly. We have
shortened the disposal code list
to make it easier.
The CCA
staff would like
to take this
opportunity to
wish all of our
members and
Charolais
friends an
enjoyable family
season.

One of the SPC questions regarded
genomic research; Dr Kemp is also
reviewing.
The Ad & Promo committee
chaired by Wade Beck reported that a
new ad, a new poster and a new
brochure would be ready early in the
new-year.
Bryan Coughlin chairs two
committees – the Market
Development Committee (MDC) and
the Education, Youth and Export
Committee (EYEC)
The MDC is developing an updated
version of a Feeder Cattle Buyer’s
Handbook. The last time this
publication was printed was back
in Milton Weise’s time, probably
1992-1993. Basically it is a handbook
using a series of tables to calculate
break-even prices for feeder cattle.
We were approached approximately
one year ago by Andy Fowling, a
cattle buyer in southern Alberta,
with a suggestion that we spilt costs
on the production of a new version.
This version along with a smart
phone app should be ready early in
the new-year.
For the EYEC the focus of attention
at his time of year is the awarding of
CCA scholarships to the 2011
winning applicants. For background
information; in 2009 & 2010 the CCA
had recorded significant positive
positions on the audited financial
statements and as a result the BOD
agreed to commit $50,000 to the CCA
scholarship account at a BOD meeting
in June 2011. Coupling this amount
with $15,000.00 committed by the
50th Homecoming committee at the
conclusion of the 2010 event and the
$20,000 already in the account
provides an aggregate of $85,000. At
the same meeting it was agreed to
increase the scholarship amounts
from $500 to $1,000 starting in 2011.
Further action was taken as a result of
the fall meetings when the EYEC
agreed to increase the Dale Norheim
scholarship to $1,500 from $1,000.
The EYEC convened a meeting at
the National Show in Toronto and
decisions were made to award the
Dale Norheim scholarship to Megan
Rosso and two $1,000 scholarships to
Michael Hunter and Travis Jozwiak.
Also from the BOD meetings it was
agreed the CCA Annual General
Meeting (AGM) and the Canadian
Charolais Youth Association (CCYA)
Conference will run simultaneously
in Olds, Alberta, in 2012. This was
approved primarily to help reduce
costs and the intent is that the CCA
does not infringe on any activities
planned by the CCYA.
On an unrelated issue, DNA
requirements enshrined in the CCA
by-laws were enacted to protect the
authenticity of the herd book and
provide buyers with a reasonable
guarantee they are getting what they
paid for. They may seem onerous on
occasion and easily get put off for
another day; however they are the
biggest problem for breeders that we
encounter on a daily basis. Usually an
unexpected death occurs and the
consequences are always expensive
and sometimes involve a considerable
loss of income. Our recommendation
to any buyer/seller is to pull double
digit tail switch hairs and enclose
them in a regular envelope, mark the
tattoo on the envelope and store in a
shoe box in a reasonably dry place. If
the situation arises that DNA is
required it can be retrieved.

La réunion d’automne du conseil
d’administration avait lieu en
octobre au bureau à Calgary. C’est la
seule réunion que le conseil a tête à
tête à l’exception de la réunion
annuelle. Les représentants
provinciaux ont assisté aux réunions
cette année ainsi que le Comité de
planification stratégique « SPC »
s'est réuni pour la première fois en
trois ans.
Le « SPC » a posé une série de
questions pour la discussion le
premier jour des réunions et il a fait
suivre à leurs recommandations
pour la considération du conseil
pendant le deuxième jour. Des
heures ont été passées discutant les
matières et pourraient mener à
quelques résultats positifs les
recommandations suggérées. Dans
un examen de toutes les réunions de
« SPC » depuis 1990, il étonnait
lesquelles des mêmes matières ont
été discutées sur une période de
vingt ans. Les détails de réunion de
« SPC » seront signalés sur le site
Web de CCA.
Directeur du Comité de finance
est Brent Saunders. Il a présenté que
nous avions projeté un petit revenu
positif pour 2011 mais à fin
septembre il y a une petite perte.
Ceci est provoqué par le portefeuille
de placement du CCA exécutant
comme un yo-yo ; le revenu ou la
perte n’est pas clair en raison du
bouleversement dans le monde.
Nous ne connaîtrons pas les figures
financières finales jusqu'au 31
décembre. Le conseil a adopté un
mouvement qu’au 1er janvier 2012 le
bénéfice de l'auditeur/condition
latents de perte ne sera pas inclus à
un budget annuel, bien qu'il soit
encore inclus dans le relevé de
compte financier du CCA.
John Wilgenbusch, directeur du
Comité d'amélioration de race
« BIC », a informé le conseil que DR
Bob Kemp, le conseiller génétique
pour le CCA, travaille sur deux
rapports en voie de développements
concernant les EPDs et une
proposition sur la résiduelle de
prise d'alimentation. Cette
proposition est due pour la revue
du comité en mars.
Le comité de relations publiques
présidé par Wade Beck a rapporté
qu'une nouvelle annonce, une
nouvelle affiche et une nouvelle
brochure seront prêtes tôt en
nouvel-année.
Bryan Coughlin préside deux
comités - le Comité de
développement du marché « MDC »
et le Comité d'éducation, de jeunesse

Le « MDC » développe le manuel
d'acheteur de bétail de fabrication «

La dernière fois que cette
publication a été imprimée avait lieu
pendant le temps de Milton Weise
comme président, probablement
1992-1993. Fondamentalement c'est

Nous avons été approchés par Andy
Fowling, un acheteur de bétail dans
Alberta. Il a proposé que nous
partagions les coûts de production
d'une nouvelle version. Cette version
avec une application du téléphone
intelligent devrait être prête tôt en
nouvel-année.
Attribuer les bourses de CCA aux
candidats réussis est le centre
d’attention cette fois d'année pour «
l'EYEC ». À vous mis à jour, en 2009
et 2010 le CCA a eu des positions
positives significatives sur le relevé
de compte financier audité. En raison
de la position financière du CCA, en
juin de 2011 le conseil
d'administration accepté pour
engager 50.000$ au compte de bourse
de CCA, ajoutant aux 20.000$ déjà là.
À la conclusion de la célébration du
cinquantième anniversaire du CCA
en 2010, le comité d'organisation de la
célébration a donné 15.000$. Cela
apporte le montant total du compte
de bourse de CCA à 85.000$. La
quantité de bourse indiquée aux
étudiants est 1000$. L'EYEC était
également augmenté la bourse de
Dale Norheim de 1000$ à 1500$.
L'EYEC a eu une réunion à
l'exposition nationale à Toronto et
décidée à donner la bourse de Dale
Norheim à Megan Rosso. Les deux
bourses de 1000$ vont à Michael
Hunter et Travis Jozwiak.
En outre des réunions du conseil on
l'a convenu que l'assemblée générale
annuelle de CCA (AGM) et la
conférence canadienne de
l'association de la jeunesse du
charolais (CCYA) soient tenues
simultanément dans Olds, Alberta, en
2012. Ceci a été approuvé
principalement pour aider à réduire
des coûts et l'intention est que le CCA
ne viole sur aucune activité prévue
par le CCYA.
Un nombre qui est encore peu clair
pour l'association est le nombre de
femelles de l’année « W » qui seront
enroles avant le 31 décembre 2011.
Beaucoup d’éleveurs ont maintenu
des femelles pour l'exportation vers la
Russie qui ne s'est pas encore
produite. Le CCA l'a considéré
raisonnable pour permettre aux
éleveurs de déterminer quelles
femelles ils ont voulu garder dans
leurs troupeaux à la fin de 2011.
L'ADN est l'un des plus grands
problèmes pour les sélectionneurs
que nous rencontrons
quotidiennement. Oui les conditions
d'ADN peuvent sembler onéreuses
occasionnellement et sont faciles à
mettre au loin pour un autre jour ;
cependant l'authenticité de notre livre
de troupeau fournit à des acheteurs
une garantie raisonnable
qu'obtiennent ils ce qu'ils ont payé.
Les conséquences sont chères de ne
pas avoir l'ADN sur le dossier et
peuvent impliquer une perte
considérable dans le revenu si vous
ne pouvez pas enregistrer un animal
parce qu'il n'y a aucune ADN sur le
dossier. Notre recommandation à
n'importe quel sélectionneur,
acheteur ou vendeur est de tirer des
poiles, les mis dans un enveloppe
régulière, d'écrire le tatouage sur
l'enveloppe et le stocker dans un
endroit sec. Si une situation surgit
que l'ADN est exigé, il peut être
facilement recherché et vous sauvez
beaucoup de temps, l'argent et le mal
à la tête !

OBITUARY
Dorothy J.A. Geddes
1924 – 2011
Dorothy Jessie
Alice (McTaggart)
Geddes passed
away on July 5th
with her family
by her side. Dorothy is survived by her husband
Clare, children Pamela Salzburger,
Eric, Earl and his wife Helen-Ann,
Michael, and Maurice and his wife
Jane as well as 10 grandchildren and 9
great-grandchildren. Dorothy and Clare
went for a walk and talked about all the
blessings they had received on their
64th wedding anniversary just two
weeks before her passing.
Clare and Dorothy were Charolais
67
pioneers starting their Char-O-Clare
Stock Farm herd in 1958, Pilot Mound,
Manitoba. They both worked tirelessly
promoting Charolais locally and
nationally. Dorothy was First Lady of
the Canadian Charolais Association in
1964-1965 when Clare was president.
Dorothy is fondly remembered for
her hard work and commitment to
others. She was very involved in the
Pilot Mound United Church at all
levels. Dorothy was a great cook and
her pies were always a favourite at the
Fall Suppers and of course with her
family on all occasions.
Dorothy’s biggest commitment was
to her children. She would take them
on driving trips around Manitoba and
into the United States making sure
they knew the world was bigger than
just the farm at Pilot Mound. She was
always teaching them the important
little lessons of life. She never
stopped loving her children and many
grandchildren no matter what they
got up to.
She was known for her hard work
and creative nature. She was often
asked to write a poem to celebrate
special occasions for family and
friends, and made whomever the
poem was designed for feel like
they were the most important person
in the world.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Routine Human Genotyping Technologies
Have Applications for Cattle Breeders
Grant Woronuk, PhD, Research Scientist, Quantum Genetics Canada Inc.
Many parents will remember the heel
prick test for their newborn child soon
after delivery. This procedure is
common practice in modern neonatal
medical diagnostics for the detection of
various genetic disorders, enabling
parents to take appropriate action, if
necessary. The neonatal heel prick test is
primarily used to diagnose human
genetic disorders, including
phenylketonuria (PKU). The PKU test
allows for a blood sample to be assessed
for the proper functioning of the gene
coding for the enzyme phenylalanine
hydroxylase. Should these tests indicate
improper phenylalanine hydroxylase
function, caregivers can take action by
adjusting the child’s diet in such a
manner that ameliorates some of the
more serious effects of this disorder,
thereby improving the health and
longevity of the child. Using the heel
prick test for genetic testing of newborns
for PKU and other diseases (like cystic
fibrosis and hypothyroidism) is critical
revealing information prior to onset of
symptoms, enabling caregivers to
address these special growth and
development issues.
The necessity of genetics testing is not
limited to infants, as diagnosing the
predisposition for certain diseases is
useful in adults as well. In some
disorders, such as Huntington’s disease,
where genotyping elucidates the
malignancy in the Huntington gene,
there is no cure. Huntington’s disease
serves as a rare yet striking example of
how fate can be completely
determined by our genes, as symptoms
for Huntington’s disease are almost
completely masked in young people,
but for those unfortunate enough to
possess the malignant Huntington
genotype, disease onset is an absolute
certainty. Since no action
can be taken with regards to mitigating
the effects of Huntington’s disease,
people at risk are left with the
philosophical dilemma of whether or not
they want to know if they possess the
68
malignant Huntington genotype.
Many other genetic diseases,
however, empower decision makers to
take action to mitigate severity. For
instance, genotyping of BRCA1 &
BRCA2 yields information regarding
possible carcinogenic mutations in these
genes that increase the likelihood of
breast cancer. Early BRCA1 & BRCA2
genotyping offers people who are
diagnosed with carcinogenic mutations
in these genes, and thus a predisposition
for breast cancer, the opportunity to take
proactive therapeutic avenues to reduce
the likelihood of the onset of breast
cancer. These examples highlight the
power of genotyping technology in
predicting the future, thereby arming
people with accurate information such
that they may take appropriate action.
How do genotyping technologies
assist cattle breeders? Cattle genotyping
is an extension of the same technologies
used in human genotyping, as breeders
take advantage of these modern
technologies to not only mitigate genetic
diseases in their herd, but also to
optimize the production of cattle with
key market characteristics. With regards
to diagnosing cattle genetic disorders,
one commonly used genotyping assay
utilizes DNA markers to identify carriers
of Curly Calf Syndrome (CCS). CCS is a
disease in which calves are stillborn as a
result of a form of arthrogryposis
multiplex (AM), and these “curly” calves
inherited two copies (one from each
parent) of the lethal genotype and are
homozygous for the AM gene.
However, cattle may be living, symptomfree carriers of CCS if they possess only
one copy of the lethal genotype of AM
gene (heterozygous), while other cattle
can be homozygous with two copies of
the benign AM-free genotype. Cattle
breeders use genotyping to determine
the status of the AM genotype such
that they can make informed herd
management decisions, such as
culling the AM-carriers or strategically
breeding with AM-free homozygotes, to
avoid the production and perpetuation
of curly calves in their herd. Efforts to
develop tests for other cattle genetic
disorders, including neuropathic
hydrocephalus (NH, also known as
“Water Head”), contractural
arachnodactyly (CA, also known as
“Fawn Calf Syndrome”), mannosidosis
(MA), and osteopetrosis (OS) have been
successful and are now commercially
available to assist cattle breeders in herd
disease management.
Genotyping is not solely for purposes
of diagnosing genetic diseases, however,
as cattle breeders also use molecular
genetics technology as another tool
towards the production of cattle with
enhanced market characteristics. The
most well established and widely used
fat-related cattle genotyping assay is the
diagnosis of the leptin single nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP), where a
single nucleotide shift in the leptin
gene significantly impacts a cattle’s
predisposition for rapid fat
accumulation. SNP-based genotyping is
also effective for the diagnosis of another
gene, IGF2, that codes for insulin-like
growth factor 2 which is associated with
increased rib eye area (REA) in cattle.
Research conducted at the University of
Saskatchewan has shown that cattle who
are homozygous for one version of the
IGF2 SNP have 10% more REA than
cattle with other versions of IGF2 SNP.
Application of genotyping and selecting
bulls homozygous for key characteristics
can improve a breeder’s calf crop in as
little as one year.
Through the application of modern
genotyping, breeders can better equip
themselves with information about their
herd, enabling them to make informed
breeding decisions. Just as genotyping is
critical for determining cattle (and
human) predisposition for certain
genetic disorders, modern breeders
also employ genotyping technologies
such that they make accurate and
efficient herd management decisions
when targeting key markets.

Industry Info
Trace Minerals Improve
Semen Quality
Scott Laudert, PhD
http://beefmagazine.com
Fresh and frozen sperm quality was
enhanced in bulls fed an organic trace
mineral supplement compared to
bulls fed a more traditional inorganic
mineral supplement.
Mature Angus and Balancer bulls
were fed zinc, copper, cobalt and
manganese from inorganic and
organic sources by University of
Arkansas researchers. These minerals
are most commonly fed to livestock as
inorganic molecules of sulfates or
carbonates. More recently, however,
organic sources (complexes of a
mineral and an amino acid or
carbohydrate) are more often being
utilized, due to improved
bioavailability.
The inorganic diet contained only
the test trace minerals from inorganic
sources, while the organic diet
contained trace minerals from both
organic and inorganic mineral
sources. The organic portion was
supplied by Availa-4® from Zinpro
Corporation. All other ration
ingredients were identical for the two
treatment groups.
Bulls were fed the supplemental
trace minerals from mid May to
September. Because sperm production
in bulls requires 60 days, weekly
semen collection began in mid July
and continued for nine weeks via
electro-ejaculation. Samples were
evaluated for motility, either fresh or
following a freeze-thaw procedure, by
computer-assisted sperm analysis.
Fresh-semen sperm motility was
increased from 55.2% to 69.1% in the
bulls fed the organic trace mineral
supplement. Frozen-semen sperm
motility also increased at zero and
two hours post-thawing.
Natural vs. Conventional Beef
With the exception of price, there’s
little to no difference between
conventionally raised and natural
beef, University of Arkansas
researchers report.
74
Beef ribeye rolls were purchased
from five naturally-raised, brandedbeef programs and two commodity
beef suppliers. The natural-fed beef
requirements were an all-vegetarian
diet, no implants, and no dietary
antibiotics. The conventionally raised
beef was produced according to FDA
and USDA guidelines.
Ribeye steaks from both production
types were evaluated for pH;
moisture; intramuscular fat; color;
Warner-Bratzler shear force; cooking
loss; consumer panel evaluation
including flavor, juiciness, tenderness,
texture and overall acceptability; and
monounsaturated and
polyunsaturated fatty acid content.
All measured traits were similar
between conventional and natural
beef steaks with the exceptions of
higher cooking loss and greater taste
panel-rated juiciness for the
conventional beef.
The results show consumers can’t
distinguish natural beef from
conventionally raised beef based
solely on palatability. Variations in the
fresh and cooked attributes were
greater among brands than
production type. Beef is beef, no
matter how it’s raised.
Distillers Grains Feeding Loss
Feeding dry distillers grains with
solubles (DDGS) in bunks compared
to feeding on the ground reduced
pasture feeding waste by 36-41%.
University of Nebraska researchers
evaluated feeding DDGS in meal form
as received directly from the ethanol
plant to yearling steers grazing
subirrigated meadow pastures in feed
bunks vs. on the ground. The steers
were fed 3.5 lbs. DDGS/head/3X/week.
The ground-fed steers were fed in a
different location within the pasture at
each feeding. Bunks were not moved
within the pastures for the duration of
the study.
The steers fed in bunks had greater
daily gain, 1.2 vs. 0.9 lbs./day, with
the difference in gain being equivalent
to the ground-fed steers being unable
to consume 0.85 lb. of DDGS due to
ground wastage at each feeding. At
$200/ton for DDGS, the cost of ground
wastage in animal performance would
be about 8.5¢/steer/day. This value can
be used to determine the breakeven
cost to purchase feed bunks.
Is Chicken Helping Out Beef Prices?
Troy Marshall, BEEF Contributing Editor
http://beefmagazine.com
It sounds like an oxymoron but the
poultry industry may actually help
beef prices rise this next year. The fact
is that the high price of ethanol-based
corn has hit the poultry industry
much harder than the beef industry.
Cattle have options to grain; poultry
don't.
For instance, Tyson recently
reported a 54% drop in quarterly
profits due to higher feed costs. And,
projections are for poultry production
to decline by 4% next year, as that
industry adjusts to higher corn prices.
In fact, Tyson's feed cost in 2011
increased by $675 million compared to
last fiscal year, which puts its feed
costs at over $4.5 billion next year.
Tyson's poultry division also saw a
profitability swing of more than $200
million on a year-to-year comparison
for this last quarter!
The good news is that the total meat
protein supply is expected to decline
by 2-3% in 2012. Despite the
astronomical increases in feed prices,
Tyson and others are still expecting to
remain profitable, if not as profitable
as previously, as prices move higher
as a result of tighter supplies.
The market continues to be
powered by declining supplies and
increasing export demand. If we can
ever get the domestic market to
respond, we should be on really good
footing. With December 2012 corn
hitting new recent lows and coming in
at $5.50/bu., there is good reason for
price optimism in 2012 beyond the
first quarter.
