The buzzword in theindustry today isGenomics andwe need to sit

up and take notice of what it is, how itcan help us and what we need to doto keep up with the rest of the breeds.Genome Canada is partnering on amulti-million dollar project with allthe beef breeds to do completesequencing of the foundation sires tofind the gene markers necessary foradvancement. This project involvesscientists from around the world.

Here is the basis of it taken from thewebsite www.canadacow.ca

This sequence information can beanalyzed directly, used for comparinganimals within a breed, or for comparinganimals across breeds. One category ofgenetic difference frequently used forcomparison is Single NucleotidePolymorphisms or SNPs. SNPs are usedas genetic markers to track the ancestralheritage of regions of DNA or ofindividual animals. SNPs also can beused to predict the likelihood that a givenanimal will possess an individual or aseries of desirable trait(s). The latter canonly occur once a SNP or a collection ofSNPs is linked to a particular trait.

In this project, genotypes (the patternof important SNPs), from a wide range ofbeef and dairy breeds will be used todevelop accurate genomic predictionequations to assess the genetic potential ofan individual animal. This informationwill, in turn, be used to make geneticimprovement in Canada’s cattlepopulations. Genotyping a large numberof animals is necessary to attainacceptable levels of reliability, and canonly be achieved through internationalcollaboration. Low-cost tests will bedeveloped that allow an animal’s entiregenome to be inferred from a relativelysmall number of SNPs, thereby givingvaluable information as to its breedingvalue. The project will work withscientists (and data) from across theworld, as well as leading Canadianseedstock organisations.

What are benefits for livestock producers?

• Bottom line – Reduced costs fromefficient breeding and management

• 9-10% lower herd maintenance

• 20-40% estimated financial gain fromusing genomics technologies in beef cattle

• Improved breeding performance

• Improve traits that are lowly heritableor difficult to measure

• Faster genetic improvement. Evenwith the best conventional breeding andreproduction technologies, it still takesfive years to produce a new bull calf, rearit to sexual maturity and progeny-test itsoffspring. Traits such as tenderness andmarbling can only be assessed after theanimal is slaughtered, so it is no longeravailable for breeding. Using genomicstools could compress the entire cycle intojust a few weeks, and have the firstsuperior new calves born in little morethan a year.

• Improved animal health. A newunderstanding of hostpathogeninteractions based on genomics researchoffers the promise of improved vaccinesand disease immunity, new gene-basedtargets for treatment, better responsetimes to new threats and the potential tobreed healthier animals.

• Selection for animals that arenaturally calm and produce less appetite-reducing hormones will result in fasterweight gains and fewer aggression-relatedproblems

• Feed efficiency. A genetic test wouldmore than pays for itself by producinganimals that grow faster on less feed (10-12% less feed intake).

Look for the CCA ad or on theirwebsite for the list of sires wanted forcomplete sequencing. Besides doing acomplete sequence on the foundationsires, they will also do a 750K SNPtest on 450 other influencial bulls inthe breed and then do a 50K SNP on550 more. There is a tax receiptavailable for some of this DNA soyour costs can be covered although Ithink this is bigger than what it willcost you to send it in. This is a great

way to enhance the reliability andaccuracy of the EPD and predict whatcattle can do at a very young age.

On the International Charolais stagethis was the topic of conversation atthe last two meetings and will be afocus at the World TechinicalConference next summer in Sweden. Iam hoping that we can co-ordinatewith other countries to identify thegene markers of Charolais cattlearound the world. Exciting stuff that Ithink has big ramifications inimproving the breed down the road.

I think we should encourageanyone who draws semen on a bull orflushes a cow do a 50K SNP on theanimal. The more DNA we getinvolved, the faster we will be able toget ties to gene markers and the fasterwe will be able to move the breedforward. Some breed associationshave already put this in their bylawsmaking it mandatory.

Along with the DNA testing, wecannot forget to have some data to gowith it. Accurate performance recordsand ultrasound data are some thingsthat need to go along with it. Therequest for the Leptin testing isbecoming more common as well, soknow what it is and how it can helpyour marketing in the spring bull sales.

The fall female sales in the east havestarted out very good and the interestin the sales in the west is encouraging.We had some new breeders buy at allof the first sales including theNational in Quebec. The enthusiasmfrom outside the breed toward thebreed is very strong and we need tohave this to attract new members andbreeders. It is up to us as to how goodthe Charolais industry gets. We allneed to do our part by keeping thebreed visible and healthy. We can’twait for someone else to show orpromote the breed. We all need to doour part. Many want to focus on theirbull sale but aren’t doing their part tokeep the whole breed active andvisible. I know I have said it before

Génomiqueest le mot à lamode dansl'industrie debœuf

aujourd'hui. Nous devons prêterl'attention à ce qu'est la génomique, àla façon dont les données génomiquepeuvent nous aider et ce que nousdevons faire d’être courant avec desautres races de bœuf. Le GénomeCanada est partenariat sur un projetdu dollar de multi-million avec toutesraces de bœuf. Pour l'avancement dela race Génome Canada faitl'ordonnancement complet destaureaux fondateurs pour trouver lesmarqueurs de gène nécessaires. Desscientifiques de partout dans lemonde sont comportés dans ce projet

Voici les fondations du projet prisdu site Web www.canadacow.ca.

Cette information d'ordre peut êtreanalysée directement, utilisé pourcomparer des animaux dans une race, oupour comparer des animaux à travers desraces. Une catégorie de différencegénétique fréquemment utilisée pour lacomparaison est des polymorphismessimples de nucléotide « Single NucleotidePolymorphisms » ou SNPs. SNPs sontemployés comme les marqueursgénétiques à dépister l'héritage ancestraldes régions de l'ADN ou des animauxindividus. SNPs peut être égalementemployé à prévoir la probabilité qu'unanimal possédera un trait individu ou desséries de traits souhaitables. Celui-ci seproduise seulement lorsqu'un SNP ouune collection de SNPs est lié à un traitparticulier.

ILes génotypes sont le modèle de SNPsimportant. Dans ce projet, des génotypesde plusieurs races de boeuf et de laiterieseront employés pour développer deséquations génomiques précises deprévision d’évaluer le potentiel génétiqued'un animal individuel. Cette informationsera employée à apporter l'améliorationgénétique des cheptels bovins du Canada.En trouvant des génotypes d’un grandnombre d'animaux est nécessaire pouratteindre les niveaux acceptables de la

fiabilité. Celui-ci peut être seulementréalisé par la collaboration internationale.On se développera des essais peu coûteuxqui permettent au génome entier d'unanimal d'être impliqué d'un nombrerelativement petit de SNPs, fournissantde ce fait l'information valable quant à savaleur de multiplication. Le projetfonctionnera avec des scientifiques et desdonnées de l'autre côté du monde, aussibien que de principaux organismescanadiens de seedstock.

Quels sont des avantages pour deséleveurs de bétail ?

• Résultat - coûts réduits de lamultiplication et de la gestion efficaces

• 9-10% moins d’entretien de troupeau

• 20-40% a estimé le gain financierd'employer des technologies de génomiquedans des cheptels de bœuf

• Amélioration dans la performance de multiplication

• Améliorez les traits qui sonthéritables modeste ou difficiles à mesurer

• Une amélioration de génétique plusrapide. Les meilleures technologiesconventionnelles de multiplication et de lareproduction prennent cinq ans pourproduire un nouveau taureau jeune, luiélever à la maturité sexuels, et fait lesessais de sa progéniture. Des traits telsque la tendresse et marbrer peuventseulement être évalués après que l'animalsoit abattu, ainsi il n'est plus disponiblepour la multiplication. L'utilisation desoutils de génomique peut comprimer lecycle entier à quelques semaines. Lespremiers veaux nouveaux supérieursseraient nés dans un peu plus d’un an.

• La santé des animaux améliorée.Basées sur la recherche de génomique unenouvelle compréhension des interactionshôte-pathogène offre la promesse des vaccinsaméliorés et de l'immunité de la maladie,de nouvelles cibles gène-basées pour letraitement, meilleurs temps de réponse àde nouvelles menaces et le potentiel demultiplier des animaux plus sains.

• Sélection des animaux qui sontnaturellement calmes et qui produit moinsd'hormones de réduction d’appétit. Ils aurontles conséquences des gains plus rapides de

poids et peu de problèmes d’agression.• Efficacité d'alimentation. Un essai

génétique produisant les animaux qui sedéveloppent plus rapidement sur moinsd'alimentation (moins prise d'alimentation10-12%) plus que payent lui-même.

Recherchez l'annonce de CCA en cemagasin ou sur le site Web de CCApour la liste de taureaux fondateursvoulus pour l'ordonnancementcomplet. Le Génome Canada examineégalement 450 autres taureauxinfluents dans la race pour un essai de750K SNP et alors encore 550 taureauxsupplémentaires pour un 50K SNPexaminent.

Il y a des recettes fiscalesdisponibles pour couvrir une partie dece coût d'ADN. Cependant je penseque les récompenses de l'essai degénome sont supérieures au coûtd'introduire l'ADN. C'est une grandemanière d'augmenter la fiabilité etl'exactitude de l'EPD et de prévoir ceque les bétail peuvent faire à un âgetrès jeune.

Sur la scène de charolaisinternational le sujet de génomiqueétait la matière de la conversation lorsdes deux dernières réunions. Il seraaussi une mise à point à la conférencetechnique du monde l'été prochain enSuède. J'espère que nous pouvonscoordonner avec d'autres pays pouridentifier les marqueurs de gène desbétail du charolais autour du monde ;les détails passionnants que je penseont de grandes ramifications enaméliorant la race à l'avenir.

Je pense que nous devrionsencourager les éleveurs de faire unessai génomique de 50K SNP pourceux que prend le sperme d’untaureau ou la fleuvement d’une vache.Lorsque le plus d’ADN qu’on a, leplus rapidement que nous pouvonsconstruire les marqueurs génétiqueset nous pouvons améliorer la racecharolais en avance. Quelquesassociations de race ont déjà faitobligatoire dans leurs règlementsl’essai de 50K SNP.

POINTS À RÉFLÉCHIR




In my September Connection article Idiscussed the topic of what market pricesmay do this fall which is never far from theminds of commercial cattle producers. Mysynopsis was basically that all indicatorspointed to a possibility of a slight reductionin prices when compared to last year, butbasically a stable market.

In the space of a few weeks two incidentshave occurred that could have an influenceon that statement.

Firstly, as quoted in the October 8th 2012issue of the newsletter – AGRIWEEK.Statistics Canada’s second crop report ofthe season, issued October 4th, appears toquite accurately assess the damage done toprairie crops by freak summer weather andunprecedented disease and insect attacks.Total Canadian production of the majorcrops was out at 68.04 million tonnes,compared to 74.56 million expected in July,a drop of 9%. As expected, canola was thehardest hit of all crops with the latest reportat 13.36 tonnes, down 13% from the 15.41projected in July.

And more importantly from a specificbeef point of view, XL Foods of Brooks,Alberta had its operating licence suspendedby the Canadian Food Inspection Agencybecause of an E.coli outbreak at theprocessing plant. The full extent of thefallout from this outbreak is as yetunknown. At the time of writing, theCanFax Weekly Market Outlook andAnalysis from October 5th 2012 wasreporting non-fed values (cows & bulls)down $3.50, fat steers down $2.00 withyearlings and calves holding their own. Thenotable bear factor is that carcass weightscontinue to increase sharply.

Some of the market share was taken upby the Cargill plant at High River, Albertaand U.S. buyers, so the market is holding itsown as of the second week of October. Howlong the market remains reasonably stableand how long XL Foods remains stutteredis guess work at this stage.

Let’s focus on the good news! I justreturned from the October 6th Expo Boeuf2012 National Charolais show inVictoriaville, Quebec, which will be coveredin more depth by Helge and Candace By.However, it was an excellent show and sale

with over 100 head from 5 differentprovinces taking part. Congratulations tothe Quebec Charolais members fororganizing a very good event.

Dans la revueCharolaisConnection deseptembre j'aidiscuté les prixdu marché et ce

qu’ils peuvent faire cet automne. Demon point de vue, tous les indicateursse sont dirigés à la possibilité d'uneréduction des prix le moindre parrapport à l'année dernière, mais nousaurions fondamentalement un marché stable.

Dans l'espace de quelques semainesdeux incidents se sont produits quipeuvent influencer ce rapport.

Premièrement, cité dans la revue du8 octobre 2012 du bulletinAGRIWEEK. Le deuxième rapport dela récolte de la saison du statistiquesCanada publié le 4 octobre sembleévaluer exactement les dommagesfaits aux récoltes de prairie par letemps anormal d'été et les attaquessans précédent de la maladie etd'insecte. La production canadiennetotale des récoltes principales était à68.04 millions de tonnes, comparées à74.56 millions prévus en juillet, unebaisse de 9%. Comme prévu, le canolaétait le récolte le plus dur frappé detoutes les récoltes avec le dernierrapport à 13.36 tonnes, en bas de 13%des 15.41 projetées en juillet.

Le deuxième incident effectuant nosmarchés est basé sur l'industrie deboeuf. XL Foods, de Brooks enAlberta, ont eu son permis defonctionnement suspendu par l'agencecanadienne d'inspection de nourritureen raison d'une manifestation d'Ecolià l'installation de transformation. Lapleine ampleur des retombées de cettemanifestation est jusqu'ici inconnu. Àl'heure de l'écriture, le « CanFaxWeekly Market Outlook and Analysis» à partir du 5 octobre 2012 rapportaitles vaches et les taureaux inférieursdiminuent par 3,50$, les bouvillonsgras en bas de 2,00$ avec des bêtesd'un an et veaux qui restent stable.Les poids de carcasse continuent àaugmenter brusquement est le facteur notable.

L’usine de transformation Cargill àHigh River en Alberta a pris unepartie du marché d'abattage avec lesacheteurs des États-Unis. Personne nesait combien de temps le marchédemeurera raisonnablement stable nicombien de temps XL Foods seraitfermées pour la production.

Concentrons sur les bonnesnouvelles ! Je suis retourné del'exposition nationale du charolais àl'Expo Boeuf, Victoriaville, Québec.Helge et Candace By donnent plus dedétails concernant l’exposition et de lavente dans cette revue de la CharolaisBanner. Je dirai que c'était uneexposition et vente excellente avecplus de 100 animaux charolais de 5provinces différentes. Félicitations auxmembres de l’association charolais duQuébec pour organiser un très bonévénement.

Fabulous breds that will be profit makers


Alberta’s Breeder of the Year this year wasMcLeod Livestock, Cochrane, Alberta. It is a smalloperation that has a high profile through youth

activities, the show ring and strong marketing. Here ishow it all came to be.

Rod McLeod was actually raised in the purebred PolledHereford business near Claresholm, but his first jobinvolved all breeds. It was a warm summer day in MountForest, Ontario, in 1984 and Rod McLeod was working forWorld of Beef as a fieldman. It was the OCA AGM and awhole weekend of activities were planned including a sale.Rod was working ring, as was Helge By.

Following the sale, Helge approached Hayes Walker III,the Charolais Banner manager at the time, and said, “Ifound the fieldman we are looking for.” Hayes replied,“Who?” Helge responded, “That kid I worked ring withtoday.” So when they got to Alberta, Hayes picked up Rodand took him to meet some of the owners, the Stettler crewof Don Pochylko and Don Peters. Rod chuckles, “Actuallywith Hayes it was more of a meeting with the women. Ihad to get the blessing from Sandra and Sylvia.” Thusstarted Rod’s introduction to the Charolais indsutry.

Later his parents would get into the Charolais businessby purchasing a package of females by private treaty fromFlat Valley Charolais, Reuben and Lorene and Eugene andPam Ehret, Hilda, Alberta.

Rod worked with the Charolais Banner under theconglomerate of breeder owners until the opportunity

came to buy most of them out in 1985. Then he, Helge andMark Kihn became partners and owners. In 1991, he madethe move to sales management and managed Charolaissales in Alberta for three years.

His cattle industry experience continued to grow whenRod became General Manager of the Canadian MaineAnjou Association. This five year period gave himincreased knowledge of how cattle organizations work.

In 1999, Rod started working within the elk industry.Qeva was a publicly traded company, which was startedinitially to market elk and elk antler products. In Januaryof 2003, it purchased a small abbatoir at Balzac, Alberta to

market elk meat. In May of that year,BSE struck the Canadian beef industryand the plant experienced dramaticchanges. Rod says, “It moved ourproduction from comfortable tocapacity. If you weren’t full duringthe first six months of BSE, somethingwas wrong. We learned how to run atfull capacity quickly.”

Rod and April purchased the meatplant in January of 2004 and have runit ever since. The previous owner onlydid custom work that came his way.He never pushed the retail end of thebusiness, never owned or fed cattle orspeculated on his own.

“When we took over, we startedslaughtering elk. When BSE hit, wewere running on capacity and the elkwas too hard to market. It is a nichemarket and we had so much beefcoming in, and it was easier to marketto the masses.

“We do about 400 hogs each week,which is similar to what was beingdone before we took over.Hogs were easier to get.Truthfully we took it up to800 per week up until the bighog crash a few years ago.Then when all of the hog producers gotout of business it becamehard to find hogs. Olymelcontracts the hog productionin the province. It has made italmost impossible to get aconstant supply of pigsbecause they have control ofthe market. They contract thewhole farm now. They send

the trucks to pick the pigs up. If theycatch you selling pigs somewhere else,they will terminate your contract.When the hog market dropped sobad, the few guys that were left in itwere scrambling to make sure theyhad some place to go with their pigs.So they got a lot of the guys on boardon two and three year deals. Not justa one year contract, like in the cattlebusiness where Cargill will contract apen. Olymel comes in and contactsyour whole production, everything,it’s either all or nothing. The AlbertaHog Marketing Board collapsed andthey used to take from smallerproducers putting together linerloads. When the hog market crashed,they couldn’t market the product sothey lost the producers and folded.Most of the smaller producers theydealt with are gone. The infrastructurein the marketing of pigs changed.

“We do 30-35 beef each week. Tomaintain a constant supply, I’ve either

got them on feed myself, or I’vepurchased entire calf crops fromproducers. They feed them exactly theway I want them. I work with otherproducers too. I have some purebredbreeders feed out the calves that willnot go into their purebred herds tomy specifications.

“I don’t do any cull cows or bulls. Ican’t make the quality of meat that Iwant out of these cull animals. I stilldo custom work, I don’t turn it awaybut we always have a supply of fatcattle on hand as we have to keep theplant running at full capacity. I’ve gotguys that do branded beef programsthat bring their product to me. Theymarket it themselves. I just package itup exactly the way they want it.

“John Lamb, at Balzac, is probablyone of the larger grass-fed programs.We did 100 head for him last year. Hisdaughter Nicole does the marketingand we do the cutting. I’ve got otherguys that do 50-60 head throughout

the year.“Our fund-raising deal has

turned out to be huge. Afriend of ours at Cochrane,came to us and said ‘We’retired of selling magazines andchocolates for fundraisers.Can you put together a fewbeef packages so our swimclub can sell them?’ So wecame up with ten packages.Package one is thirty one-pound packages ofhamburger. Package two isten pounds of New Yorksteaks. We came up with ten

B.O.S.S. presentations at a CCA AGM Rod McLeod working ring


different packages and they get 20percent of what they sell. They supplyus with all of the sales and we have 30days from the time they give it to usto deliver the product. It has becomehuge, we are turning them away.We’ve got schools that will sell$120,000 each year. Our average dropper fundraiser this year was $18,000and we do three or four a week.Everybody says it is the easiest sellthey have ever had. All they have todo is get the forms out there and itsells itself. People only have a certainsize deepfreeze. So they can buy threecubic feet because that is the onlyspace they have. But they find, thatwhen it is there, they eat it and reallylike it and want to order again. Theones that were going once haveincreased to twice per year because ofdemand. People mark it on theircalendars now to time their purchaseswith the groups they support.Everytime the fundraiser comes backto us it is bigger.

“We custom do steaks for guys thatcater, like Eric Andrews that did thecooking for the CCYA Keep and Cullcompetition. He buys 5000 steaks ayear from us. He won’t buy his meatanywhere else, because he knows heis guaranteed the quality and all hehas to do is cook it and it is the sameeverytime. Nothing goes out of ourplace that isn’t aged properly. We doa lot of 28-40 day aged.

“I spend no money on advertising.It is all word of mouth. Our plant hasrun at maximum capacity for fiveyears. We can’t do anymore, the wallsare the prohibiting factor on what wecan do. We can only do somuch. We are turningfundraisers away. We canhang 240 sides in our coolerat one time. Our quality hasto be at the top-end. TheGeorge Foreman is alwayssitting there and if anyonegets an inkling thatsomething is wrong, we’llcook a piece of the ribeye orstriploin and try it. Therewill be four guys standingaround and if one guy saysit’s not good enough, wegrind the whole thing. Thereis no hesitation. We have to

have quality. “We have 18 full-tme employees

with no plans for expansion. Whenthe developers move in and shut medown, we’re done. We just can’t affordto rebuild it. The number one problemis that you can’t build it in the rightplace. I tried once to build on thesouth side of Airdrie and the City ofAirdrie just laughed at me. They toldme there would never be an abbatoirbuilt in the city limits of Airdrie. It’sone of those things the voters dictate.They want employment in theirneighborhood, just not in theirbackyard. We don’t have smell orodour or anything, but it is theperception. The zoning requirementsare made for huge plants like Cargill.Even though we are small, the

regulations we have to follow aremade for them.

“All of our employees are fromCalgary and getting them to commutea greater distance isn’t easy. Findingemployees is another issue. Nobodyteaches how to cut meat anymore. Allthey teach them is how to cut out of abox. Nobody teaches them how tobreak something down. The big plantsteach them one specific thing. I alwayscompare it to the constructionindustry. There are framers andfinishing carpenters and everybodythat works at my place is a finishingcarpenter. They are the best of thebest. They get paid accordingly. I havethe highest priced meat cutters in allof Calgary, but they are all gettingolder. My employees have been withme for a while, there hasn’t been achange at my table for three years. Ifyou lose one key guy when you areoperating at maximum capacity,you’re in trouble quick. The only newguys coming in that are good are theEuropeans. I have hired some guysout of SAIT and Olds College but theydon’t work out. They can’t believehow hard the work is and what isexpected. They are used to getting abox of meat they have to slice intosteaks, they can’t start with a carcassand get to an end product.

“When we started there were over100 red meat plants in the province,now there are less than 50. If youwere to rebuild now, the exit plan isalso not great. Nobody wants to buy ameat plant.

“In 4-H steer sale season, I becomean investigator. People say I can’t be

at the sale, but buy mesomething. So I get some ofthe damdest things, wewon’t have phone numbersor names. We got one theother day that said Century21 bought it. How manyCentury 21 offices are inCalgary and is it the officeor a specific realtor? Youhope the people will call youbefore the 21 days pass andyou are ready to cut. If theydon’t, you have to put yourinvestigator hat on and tryto figure it out.

“This year I had one from

Dry aging at the meat plant

April hard at work in Balzac Meats


the Carstairs sale under a lady’sname. 21 days came and I hadn’theard, 28 days came and still nothing.So I called the parents of the kid thatsold the steer to see if they had anumber for this woman. They saidthey didn’t even know who she was,she just stepped in and bought thesteer. No clue at all who she was. So Iphoned the Carstairs District whohandled the sale to see if they couldhelp. They only had her name andaddress and said she paid for the steerthat day and said to ship it to you. SoI googled her on the internet and thisname popped up for a woman whoworked for a company in Calgary. SoI phoned the company and she was onholidays. They got a message to herand she called and said she hadforgotten about it. We were at 35 daysat this point. She said I’ll get back toyou in a day or so because I’msplitting it with a couple of friends. Itold her I needed to know now. It’sjust one of those things.

“We do 120 plus 4-H steers eachyear. There aren’t many places youcan take steers to process. I neverslaughter a 4-H calf the day after asale. I bring them home and rehydratethem. I put up some barley green feed

so those calves can come and getrefilled. They need to rest for threedays so you don’t get dark cutters.The worst thing about 4-H iseverybody works hard with their calffor two or three days before the sale.Some of them haven’t eaten or drankwell because they have been workedhard and hauled around by some kid.So then it goes to town and doesn’tlike the chlorine water, so theyhaven’t drank well. When we putthem in the pen, they will playaround for a while then they laydown. They’ll do nothing but layaround for two days. Then we justwalk them up the hill with no stressfor processing.

“When we do custom work, theanimals are all penned individuallyand I have people bring them the daybefore. I never do them off the trailer.

“I don’t do many bison anymorebecause the price is so high on therail. Everytime you have a priceincrease you lose a portion of themarket. The bison market grewquickly because breeders weredumping cheap animals on themarket when many of the breederswere getting out of the business.Initially the price of bison meat was

cheap. Health conscious people likedit. As the price rose, you found outwho was willing to pay for what theyperceived as health conscious food.

“We don’t do any wild game. Atour facility everything is inspected. Ionly do inspected meat, so theregulations make it impossible. Youhave to have separate coolers and itjust isn’t worth it. I do farmed game,but there isn’t much of that aroundanymore either. Mostly it is a meansof dispersing a herd.”

April works in Balzac Meatshandling all of their cooked meats andsausage products. Rod is the guy upfront marketing that makes itall happen.

“We do some lambs, but not many.I used to do some specialty high-endrestaurants, but I can’t compete withthe big guys for price. The margin isjust not there, I have to have full retailon my product because I can only doso much. I have to focus on what I cando right. I worry about quality notquantity. That’s the whole key, it’s justlike what we do in our cattle.

“We worry about quality notquantity in our herd. We bred 25 thisyear, but we did some embryo workfor the very first time. We just want to

Colby McLeod and his champion steer at the 2009 Calgary Stampede Steer Show


get some more replacement females. We just want 25-30 of thebest ones. The whole reason we are doing the transplanting is forfemales. We put in 28 embryos this spring.”

In the early years of their marriage, April competed withQuarter Horses in Western Pleasure. She had a horse ranked Top 3 in the World in Amateur All Round and achieved the SuperHorse Award once. She showed horses for 17 years, but as timebecame more taxed with kids and the meat plant, the herd startedto dwindle.

Megan still shows the 14 year old gelding locally, but only ifthere isn’t a cattle show. She started with her first heifer at agefive and never showed horses until she was thirteen. Colby neverdid show interest in the horse side of showing, he much preferreddirt bikes.

“We have a family herd. The kids sold all of the bulls thisspring. I only owned one, they owned the rest. It will go towardstheir education.

“The herd all started with the kids’ 4-H calves. We boughtTarget PLD Ginny 40P from Palmers and she was Colby’s first 4-Hproject. Every year they expanded to more projects and that iswhat the whole herd is built around.

“Megan wasn’t old enough for 4-H that year, but Grandma andGrandpa gave her MF Emily 303N and that started her herd.”

It is interesting that the kids first two females have turned outto be exceptional foundation females. They were the start of thecow families that have produced all the high dollar championanimals in the last few years.

“They’ve learned a lot of things and they have met a lot ofpeople. It has given them the exposure to let people know theyhave the cattle. For new breeders coming in, the exposure is moreimportant because other people don’t know what you are doing.You can buy them and take them home, but if people don’t knowwhat you have, they won’t come looking to buy.

“The show ring has worked for us. It has made us be morecritical of our own cattle, especially when we have to competeagainst all other breeds. In the most recent years, our kids havecarried the Charolais torch at the all breeds shows in Alberta.There have been a few others show up here and there, but ourshave been to all of them. It makes you aware of what is requiredto compete at that level.

“Colby learned more in 2009 when he had the silver steer thatwas champion steer at numerous junior shows and was thechampion steer at the Calgary Stampede Steer Classic. It was theyear it really started for him, where he wanted to be at that level.He got recognition and acceptance from other people by doing ithimself. He won with that silver steer lots that spring. Then theAngus World Forum was in Calgary that year. He went frombeing hired as a shitline boy to being hired by people at the top oftheir game in other breeds. He learned more from the fitters thatHamilton Farms brought up for the Forum and that took himanother step. When he went to Denver with Encore this spring,the new owners brought him to Denver to talk about the bull andhelp handle promotion. Then they found out he had fitting skills.At the end of Denver, they gave him a plane ticket to Fort Worthand left the other fitters at home.

“Megan is going into grade eleven and she is the student of thebunch. She has a lot of friends in the all-breeds functions. She hasbeen able to be competitive with Charolais cattle at these eventsincluding having exhibited the Supreme Champion Female at the

“Learning about the businessthrough the meat market has changedmy views about cattle somewhat. Asyou get into the business and raise,feed and slaughter your own cattle,you learn more. Number one – theCharolais business has to concentrateon getting to a certain growth stagefast. It’s not about how big they get, it’show fast they get there. They have tohave early maturity. It’s no differentthan my feeding program, they haveto be finished in 13 or 15 months. I amnot in a grassfed situation.

“The Association is there tofacilitate the registry and programs.The breeders have to direct theassociation. You can’t hire a fieldmanto represent the breed the way thebreeders can do it themselves. Theassociation can offer the tools, but thebreeders have to drive it.

“The show ring is important as a

promotional tool and to comparegenetics. I tell my kids to be the mostcritical of their own cattle, don’tworry about being critical of others.Analyze other genetics and select theones that can complement yourprogram. Be critical of your own cattleand recognize their faults. If youmake a mistake when selecting ananimal, just admit you made amistake and dispose of the animal, thefirst loss is the cheapest one. Don’t tryto sell it to someone else, that’s whywe have slaughter plants!”

Work is something Rod is not afraidof and keeping up to him would be aproblem for many people. Besides hiskids’ activities, the meat plant andtheir purebred herd, Rod is also stillvery involved in helping other peoplemarket their cattle. Working as aringman at many sales throughout the year in many breeds, keeps hisfingers on the pulse of the entirepurebred industry.

Beef is the business the McLeodsare in, whether it is on your fork or inthe show ring. Quality is theirtrademark. Even McLean’s Magazinefound the product exceptional. Foodcritic Jacob Richler couldn’t find agood steak at Calgary Stampede timeand complained they were all wet-aged, waterlogged and mushy. Whenhe went back to Toronto he startedphoning packing plants to prove thiswasn’t the case everywhere in Alberta.“Eventually I found the gold mine:Balzac Meat Processing, where ownerRod McLeod dry-ages steers – thebest, most space-extravagant methodknown to man. He hangs thecarcasses for 28 to 40 days.Shockingly, 90 per cent is snapped upby private consumers.”

It’s really not a shock, quality iswhat people seek. It is what keepsthem coming back to Balzac Meatsand back to McLeod Livestock for asuperior product.

HERD HEALTH

There seems tobe a fair number

of show cattle which get varyingdegrees of sickness in the showseason. Being prepared to monitorand treat these individuals in theinitial stages of disease will minimizeany problems. You can even have thefortitude to help fellow showmen inthe process. This is critical to the wellbeing of all the cattle at the shows asthey are always in close confinementto each other and are under stress.

In the last few days before the showmake sure the tack box has thevarious health essentials you mayneed. This would include severalthermometers to measure dailytemperatures. It is important in mymind to record daily temperatures ofeach show animal. Record these asthey will give what the absolutenormal range is for each one. There is enough normal variation that some may fluctuate around lownormal temperatures and some highnormal temperatures. This is verymuch worth knowing when thetemperatures start to rise outside the normal range for that animal.

Carry the regular arsenal ofantibiotics and anti-inflammatory youare familiar with on your ranchcomplete with the range of syringeand needle sizes you may need.

Taking your cattle to a show is avery good example of a completelyopen herd where they will be exposedto a myriad of things. They need to bevaccinated for the commonrespiratory pathogens and thosewhich could cause abortions like IBRand BVD. Some breeders will giveintranasal IBR just before going to ashow. If you can get this vaccine itdoes have good merit as it is notharmful plus it quickly causes the

production of interferon in the body anon-specific fighter of viral infection.Long acting metaphylactic antibioticsmay be given. Discuss this with yourherd veterinarian before coming to theshow. Check each show’s healthprotocol as these have been wellthought out and it is advisable tofollow them closely.

Even with quiet cattle there is quite a stress component to shows.From the water being different, todamp environments of the wash racks and drafts in the show barns, it is really not surprising some cattleget sick. Normal incubations fordisease are about seven days so alsoclosely observe your cattle for sometime (week to ten days) afterreturning home.

Some showmen will flavor thewater for a couple of days withsomething like flavored Jell-O. City ortown water will be chlorinated and this most certainly may turn themoff for a couple of days. Others filterthe water before giving it. Sinceindividual animals are watered andfed separately monitoring individualwater and feed consumption shouldbe easy; try to stay on as regular aschedule as possible for feed andwater to minimize digestiveoutbreaks. Varying types of probioticsor ruminant stimulant boluses mayassist you if inappetance becomes aproblem. Diet should be cut back asstressed, worried cattle get looser, so some dry hay should minimizerunny manure.

Larger shows, like Farmfair, oftenhave a veterinarian present who canaddress major needs such as injured,extremely sick or off feed cattle. Theymay even attend to lumps and bumpsor mystery ailments that crop up fromtime to time. Their main concern is the

overall health of the cattle at theshow. This is of major concern if anycontagious, infectious diseasesdevelop. Biosecurity between showanimals is watched, as is the zoonoticpotential for spread to and from theviewing public.

You want to be able to show youranimals to their maximum potential; ifthey are droopy and lethargic thatwon’t happen, so monitor their healthclosely. If you are concerned they areincubating a disease like pneumoniain the best interest of your fellowcompetitors don’t bring them. If theyare already at the show inform theshow veterinarian and discusswhether they should be totallyremoved from the premises whereconvalescing at home would be farless stressful.

It is far better to treat early thanwait because you are worried aboutan injectable antibiotic causing anoticeable lump or bruise. We asveterinarians wish no show cattle illhealth, but with all the stresses andclose proximity to others it isinevitable. Being prepared will giveyou the head start you need for afavorable outcome. Don’t hesitate tocall for help early and only followsound advice. There are manyconcoctions and remedies out there,which not only lack sound medicalprincipals, producers are often usingproducts not approved for cattle andmay be harmful. This goes againstBeef Quality Assurance guidelinesand sets a poor example of how beefis raised in Canada. Most products areapproved for cattle so use these ratherthan jeopardizing your reputation as aseed stock provider to our commercialindustry. Have a successful andfulfilling show season.

Canadian Charolais Youth Conference & Show 2012

“Rocky Mountain Memories”

The Annual Canadian CharolaisYouth Conference and Show was heldin Olds, Alberta, this year and wassure to follow its theme by making“Rocky Mountain Memories”.

The weather was great, everyonewas fed well and new friendshipswere made. This conference saw somenew participants that left talkingabout attending next year’s conferencein Shelburne, Ontario. This is always agood sign and a reason to commendthe organizing committee and theirmany volunteers.

This year the date was changed tocoincide with the Summer Synergycompetition held in conjunction withthe Calgary Stampede. Although itmay have been the reason someregulars missed the event, it alsoadded great opportunities for someyouth who would not travel toAlberta twice to take advantage of theevent. Scholarships were awarded tosix CCYA members and threemembers won divisions.

When the week was over, theconsensus was positive as it cut theconference costs while addingbenefits. Who can argue with that?

The week started with a

presentation by Jennifer Woods, ofBlackie on cattle handling. Jenniferstudied under Temple Grandin andher presentation offered somethingfor each of the wide variance in agesof the youth. She even had parentspulling up to listen as her knowledgewas appreciated and respected.

The opening mixer, a highlight formany of the participants, was onceagain messy, wet and filled withenthusiasm. The barrier breaker putsall of the kids on even ground to startthe week and getsthem focused on funand friendship. Fornewcomers, itimmediately makesthem feel like part ofthe group.

The number ofparticipants wasdown a bit this year,but the enthusiasmwasn’t. It made theevent less pressuredtime wise as there wasample time for theindividual events.Larger numbers canreally put pressure on

the organizers and judges.HEJ Charolais, Henrik and Jeralyn

Rasmussen, Innisfail, hosted the Keepand Cull event at their farm. TheRasmussens have been supporters ofCCYA for many years and Jeralyn is apast CCYA Honouree recipient.

McLeod Livestock, Rod and AprilMcLeod sponsored the steaks thatwere enjoyed by all. The eveningended with a water fight, that alwaysseems to erupt when you get a hotsummer day and a bunch of kidstogether. The fun just doesn’t stop.

Two past CCYA Alumni served asBarn Bosses for the event. Ben Farrantand Marina Rasmussen did a great jobkeeping things going and havingcattle ready for each competition. It isoften a thankless but oh so necessarytask and their efforts and dedicationto the program need to becommended.

At the banquet, Luke Marshall,CCYA National Board memberpresented Leisa Gallelli with theCCYA Honouree Award for the year.Leisa has supported her sons’participation in the event for yearsand took on the onerous task ofheading the event this year. Thanksfor a job well done.

The National Board was faced withthe difficult task of replacing their Co-ordinator this year as KatrinaCoughlin gave them notice of her

“Rocky Mountain Memories”resignation. Katrina has served the National Board as a participantand became co-ordinator quite a few years ago. She has done aterrific job and assisted the group in carrying out their manyprograms. Katrina is studying to become a lawyer and will begin herarticling soon, making continuing in the Co-ordinator capacity toomuch. Thanks Katrina for a great job, you have contributed to thesuccess of the organization.

Brandon Sparrow has been appointed as the new co-ordinator andis anxious to continue working with the CCYA National Board.Brandon is a Past President of the organization and has a greatunderstanding of the needs and requirements of the position. He isso interested in CCYA, he even showed up at the Conference thisyear to observe. Someone who misses the program and is preparedto travel to watch, when not participating, certainly shows dedicationto the movement and will do a great job.

Next year’s conference is in Shelburne, Ontario, July 17-20. Startplanning now, I’m sure it will be a great event. Leisa Gallelli was presented the CCYA Honouree award
