THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE BELTED GALLOWAY SOCIETY, INC.
President Greg Hipple
Happy Birthday America! It is hard to believe another year is half over. It seems like only yesterday that there was snow, mud, and the start of calving season. Fast forward to today, and it is hot and humid. The cows are running with the bulls and the spring born calves are half way to weaning. Where has the time
gone? On May 1, 2016, the Society sent out an important membership survey to give you, the member, the opportunity to tell Council your opinions regarding the Appendix recordation of mismarked purebred females. Six weeks later, we have heard back from only a small percentage of our membership. We need to have more members respond! With this small of a response, there is no clear cut direction that is evident. To better the number of responses, our IT services provider, EDJE, re-sent the survey invitation to all of our members in an email June 22, 2016. The survey was also linked directly to our homepage beltie.org. If you have an email on file with the CLRC, and you do not think you received the survey, check your spam folder. I have been told by some
members that they found the survey email from EDJE in their spam folder. We will extend our deadline to gather your input until August 1, 2016, and then close the comment period. The Long Range Plan-ning Committee and Council will use the information you pro-vide to guide them in their decision. In my opinion, it is the Council’s job to represent you, the member. It is imperative that you respond and let us know how you want things done by re-turning the survey. I have to make note that we just returned from Rock Springs,
Wisconsin, where the Great Lakes Belted Galloway Association
held their annual meeting and field days. It was great to see many long-time fellow Belted Galloway enthusiast friends and to have
met so many more. The hosts, Matt and Jill Messmer, made the
weekend memorable and enjoyable for all in attendance. It was
an honor and privilege to have 70 members engage Executive
Director Vic Eggleston, GLBGA President Terry Willis, and me
in an informational panel type discussion after the banquet
Saturday evening. I, for one, took home a lot of information
from that meeting. Enjoy the summer everyone!

Last call to take our survey! For decades purebred mis-marked females have been assigned a mismark code and recorded in the Appendix reg-istry. Also, the Appendix reg-istry has recorded percentage females who were sired by a purebred bull. Will policy change with how purebred mismarks are record-ed and will the upbreeding program end? It’s up to the membership and your opinions are vital! During May all Belted Gallo-way breeders with an email address on file with the CLRC received the survey. The sur-vey questions were also print-ed within the June newsletter to give members who did not receive an email the opportuni-ty to complete and mail a pa-per copy. If you responded to the survey: Thank You! However, we still would like to hear from more of our breeders. A second opportunity to take the survey has been emailed to the membership and the survey now appears on beltie.org as another option to respond.
Great Lakes Field Days — Rock Springs, Wisconsin
The Great Lakes Belted Galloway Association held their annual field days in Rock Springs, Wisconsin at Matt & Jill Messmer’s Messmer-izing Farms. The event drew more than 70 cattlemen and cattlewomen with the opportunity to network and share information. Karl Burgi, Baraboo, Wisconsin; a world renowned hoof trimmer, demonstrated proper hoof trimming and attendees were able to get up close and ask questions during his presentation.
Mike Athens, an award-winning chef, trimmed a shoulder of Messmer-izing grass-fed Belted Galloway beef, discussing how to cook lean meats. After the demonstration, he returned to his kitchen, and prepared the beef for the evening meal. Local veterinarians, Dr. Melissa Haug gave a detailed presentation on embryo transfer and Dr. John Laukant discussed vaccinating your herd to
optimize reproductive health and immunity.
Matt Messmer and Wisconsin nat-
ural resource agent, Aaron Pape,
invited guests on a pasture walk
and discussed rotational grazing,
soil and grasses. Guests also en-
joyed the beautiful farm gardens.
A local winery, tour, an auction to
benefit the regional juniors, and a
scrumptious dinner of Belted Gal-
loway beef was the end to a per-
fect day of education, fun and fel-
lowship.

A Message from the CLRC
Jim Washer, CLRC General Manager
Canada Post has indicated that a potential
labor disruption will occur as early as the end
of June and mail service may be affected.
This will specifically affect mailed applica-
tions, pedigrees, certificates, DNA requests
and results, payments etc. We encourage all
members and breeders to use other means of
courier, delivery services and electronic ser-
vices to send materials to CLRC.
Although CLRC will use email as much as
possible to communicate with breeders,
members and associations, it is possible there
will be delays beyond our control. We are
asking all associations to advise their mem-
bers, including American and other interna-
tional members, of the potential strike and
disruptions that may be caused by a Canada
Post strike. We encourage members to send
their materials to us as soon as possible, and
if possible by email or fax. We will endeavor
to process as much as we can and return
emailed copies until originals can be sent by
mail.
