We feel a great deal of pride in inviting everyone to the MJT dispersal sale. The MJT “Back to the Basics Bull Sale” has been at the core of our family and our operation for 19 years. The complete cowherd dispersal on December 4th will mark a major change for all of us at MJT. There is no doubt that the “Back to the Basics” moniker has been at the center of our breeding philosophy. It has always been about soundness, udder quality and fertility. We know it takes a great mother cow to raise a great herd sire and we have earned 100% of our income from selling herd sires. We have countless buyers that have told us the bulls they buy here are the soundest, longest lasting and surest breeding bulls they have ever owned. Our policy has always been a “no questions asked” guarantee and having three or four replacements a year out of 120 bulls isn’t bad. We have always avoided selecting any breeding stock if there is any uncertainty about the fundamentals. We run 15 breeding pastures and calve out 400 cows in March with just two people. We can’t afford the time to deal with any problems and know that our customers can’t either. The Angus cow herd is developed from some exceptional genetics. Our first black cows were from the Justamere sire Justa-Banner 088 that proved to be outstanding producers. Our first Angus herd sire was from Terry Knoedel’s best cow and the immortal DMM Essoteric 67R. From the very beginning, the genetics have been as good as we can find. We have placed emphasis on short gestation calving intervals and our cattle have to have hair. In our climate, they are better on feed and tougher all around. All our sires show Angus character about their heads, with extra thickness and middle. We only use early maturing types with big scrotal measurements as a result of selling most of our bulls at 10 months of age.

When buying at the MJT dispersal, you have the opportunity to buy our very best. Every cow and bred heifer sells. We are retaining just the heifer calves that will be the beginning of a new chapter for the next generation around here.

Never has a single cow at MJT been made available for breeder sale prior to this dispersal.

This is the only chance you will ever get to access these outstanding and dependable matrons. Historically, we sell fewer than 10% of our heifers as a feature in our bull sale every year and breed the rest. The culling pressure here is extremely high and you will see for yourself the proof on sale day. A great cowherd with the fundamentals and proven track record of raising year after year; the bulls it takes to make one of the strongest bull sales in the country.

December 4 marks an opportunity to add genetics you can trust. The kind of females you can breed any way you like and the result will be a keeper and quite possibly a sale topper. Do not hesitate to keep a herd bull or replacement female from any cow in this sale, you will not be disappointed and the value will rise through every phase of production. You won’t be able to wait for calving season!

We look forward to hearing from you. We are always available for a herd tour. Also please let us know if you would like to receive a catalog. See you in December!

“Pneumonia,” inflammation of the lungs, is manifested in different ways and is not always caused by infection with bacteria or viruses. Most cattle owners have dealt with bronchopneumonia in young calves or stressed, newly weaned animals and are familiar with the use of vaccines to try and prevent it from occurring. Failing that, antibiotics are generally employed as the next line of defence. Interstitial pneumonia is fortunately not as common, but when it occurs, losses can be devastating. Bronchopneumonia and interstitial pneumonia differ in terms of how they affect the lungs and airways, and how they affect the animal. Bronchopneumonia is characterized by the accumulation of inflammatory fluid and cells within the lung’s air sacs and larger airways (bronchi) - coughing and nasal discharge caused by the body’s reaction to fluid are common and most animals have a fever. With interstitial pneumonia inflammatory fluid accumulates within the walls of the air sacs with only small amounts of fluid accumulation in the air sacs and larger airways – coughing does not occur and fever, if present, is not directly associated with this disease. Regardless of the cause, any upset in the ability to transfer oxygen to the blood within the air sacs spells trouble for the animal.

In the feedlot, acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP) as it is referred to, is a very sporadic yet frustrating killer of cattle that is not well understood. “Acute” means rapid onset just like the swelling that occurs when you bump your head. Far from being a huge killer, it accounts for only about 0.5% to 5% of all feedlot deaths. In southern Alberta feedlots, it is reportedly more common during hot, dry periods in the summer and fall particularly in cattle in the last month of finishing before slaughter. A number of cases have also occurred following snow storms when the animals have been bedded with straw. Since a great deal of time and money has been spent to get the animal to this stage of the production cycle, the sudden occurrence of dead or diseased animals is understandably gut wrenching. Typically, only a few animals in a group will develop AIP, but this can vary with reports of more than half of the group being affected.

In pastured cattle, interstitial pneumonia is labelled as acute bovine pulmonary emphysema and edema, or is simplified to acute bovine pulmonary emphysema. A commonly used and much easier to remember layman’s term is “Fog Fever.” Occurrences of the pasture form of the disease typically follow the movement of animals from poor pasture or feed to very lush grazing. “Lushness,” although hard to define, seems to be the key as it can occur on grass or legume pastures, and when grazing corn. Unlike bronchopneumonia, the most susceptible category of cattle is mature cows, followed by yearlings, with calves being only rarely affected. Like the feedlot situation, cows or perhaps heifers afflicted with interstitial pneumonia will often be in excellent shape - healthy one day and dead the next! Those that are not dead may be close to it.

In either scenario, animals affected with acute onset interstitial pneumonia display laboured breathing and may grunt when trying to exhale. A head down, neck extended, open mouth and drooling stance is common. Most animals will be reluctant to move and if forced, may actually collapse and die. Coughing and fever are not characteristic of this disease; however, elevations in body temperature may be a result of laboured breathing. All of these signs reflect the fact that these animals cannot get their breath, but these symptoms are not exclusive to interstitial pneumonia. Diagnosis still requires a post-mortem examination and careful inspection of the lungs. Reportedly up to half of the cattle affected with this disease may die; therefore, owing to the acute nature of the condition affected animals may simply be found dead in the feedlot or pasture leaving owners scratching their heads. Those that recover usually do so within 2 or 3 days with time and good luck being more beneficial than anti-inflammatory drugs. Antibiotics are of no benefit and their use will eliminate the option of emergency slaughter. Forcibly moving critically affected animals on the brink of respiratory collapse can be enough to push them over the edge and kill them, so be very careful.

Interstitial Pneumonia in CattleA Cause of Considerable Frustration

Dr. Colin PalmerBiography:Dr. Colin Palmer is an Associate Professor of Theriogenology (Animal Reproduction) at theWestern College of Veterinary Medicine. Originally from Nova Scotia, Dr. Palmer worked inmixed practices in Ontario and British Columbia and has owned/operated a practice inSaskatchewan. Dr. Palmer along with his wife Kim and children Lauren, Emily and Carter run a herd of purebred Red Angus cattle under the KC Cattle Co. name.


There are a few rather minor causes of interstitial pneumonia; however, in the pasture and probably feedlot scenarios 3 methylindole (3MI) production in the rumen from the amino acid L- tryptophan is the key event triggering clinical disease. Injection of 3MI into healthy cattle has been shown to elicit interstitial pneumonia. Poorly understood scenarios in the feedlot or lush pasture situation result in increased consumption of L-tryptophan or increased production of 3MI triggering an inflammatory chain of events with the lungs. Cattle on pasture are typically affected within 10 days of movement to new forage, but cases have been known to occur in animals grazing the same pasture for a period of time; perhaps as a result of a recent onset of lush forage growth. A theory to explain the cases that occur following bedding with straw is that hungry animals that have been off feed as a result of the storm, consume a large quantity of straw that then leads to 3MI production.

Once an outbreak occurs, there is little that can be done. Animals have been known to develop symptoms even a few days after removal from pasture. Monensin (Rumensin®) feeding limits the production of 3MI, and gradual introduction to better forage are probably the keys to prevention. Some affected animals have both interstitial and bronchopneumonia that leads to the question of what role infectious disease may have. If you have animals showing the symptoms of interstitial pneumonia or experience sudden deaths in otherwise healthy animals, having your vet perform a post-mortem examination is a must to confirm the diagnosis and can help you to prevent similar losses in the future.


Press Release Québec Feedlot Presented with Eastern Feedlot of the Year Award August 27, 2012: for immediate releaseCalgary, AB- The Canadian Angus Association is pleased to honour Ferme Jacques and Eric Desrosiers and Ferme B&L (Liette and Benoit) Desrosiers senc of Mirabel, Québec, with the Eastern Feedlot of the Year award. They were presented with the award by CAA Director of Field Services Brian Good and CAA General Manager Michael Latimer, for their work feeding and promoting Angus and Angus cross cattle.

Ferme Jacques & Eric Desrosiers & Ferme B &L( Liette & Benoit) Desrosiers senc are a family farm-feedlot operation located in the territorial region of Mirabel, Quebec, an off-island suburb Northwest of Montréal in Québec. In 1970, Jacques & Liette purchased the farm from Jacques’ father. They managed a herd of dairy cows on a 120 acre farm that was leased from the federal government. This land was part of the expropriation for the construction of the Mirabel Airport. Over the ensuing years they leased additional land in Mirabel and improved the herd.

In 1980 the operation sold the dairy herd and the milk quota to start a beef herd. With purchased land, in 1979 they built a feedlot with a slatted floor barn. With the proceeds from the sale of the dairy herd, 300 feeder calves were purchased. In 1983 an extension of the feedlot was built as well as corrals to hold 600 head. In 1987, the federal government sold back the family farm and the operation constructed a feedlot (drylot) with a capacity of 400 head.

The family was fortunate to have two sons interested in agriculture to continue to improve the land and the buildings. In 1994, son Eric finished his course at AgSchool, the Institut Technologique et Agroalimentaire (L’I.T.A.) and joined Jacques to form an operating farm company. In 1997, son Benoit finished his course at AgSchool, the Institut Technologique et Agroalimentair (L’I.T.A) and formed a business partnership with Liette. Another feedlot (drylot) with a capacity of 1500 head was included. In 1999, Jacques and Liette sold the farm equipment to Benoit and Eric to do custom work for the other two enterprises. In 2000 the capacity was once again increased to 2,000 head. Angus feeders are now bought from Western Canada for the feedlots. Today, Jacques Desrosiers, Liette, Eric and Benoit own 1900 acres, of which 1550 acres are all drained, cultivated land for crops –corn, soybeans and wheat. The total number of animals sold in 2011 was 4000 head with a total gain of 3 million pounds. 90 percent of these animals were Angus Influence.

Congratulations to Ferme Jacques and Eric Desrosiers and Ferme B&L Desrosiers. Your hard work and dedication over the years has definitely paid off, and the Canadian Angus Association proudly awards you for your efforts last year and for years to come.

The Canadian Angus Association introduced the Feedlot the Year award last year to recognize feedlots that promote Angus to their customers and that feed Canadian Angus Rancher Endorsed tagged cattle. The award for 2010, recognized in 2011, was presented to Ferme d’Anjou et Fils of Saint-Agapit, Québec.

The Canadian Angus Association is Canada’s largest purebred beef breed organization. The Association represents 3,000 members across Canada for the purposes of registering and recording the pedigrees of purebred Angus cattle in the closed Herd Book and promoting the breed across Canada. The member-approved mandate is to maintain breed registry, breed purity and provide services that enhance the growth and position of the Angus breed.


“They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” -Andy Warhol

The 107th President


Every time we turn around or listen to a conversation, it inevitably carries the word “change” and so it is for Gary Latimer, the 107th President of the Canadian Angus Association.

Agriculture runs deep in the veins of Gary Latimer, with his maternal great, great grandparents having crossed the American plains in the 1800’s to settle in the Napa Valley of California. The family prospered raising cattle, wheat and grapes and sustained that livelihood until they decided to search for new beginnings in Canada, settling in the Bearberry area, near Sundre, Alberta. Around 1902, his paternal great grandparents also immigrated from the United States; bringing a herd of registered Shorthorns and established their homestead east of Bowden, Alberta. Gary’s father Louis, was born and raised there and worked within the Shorthorn industry until the Shorthorns were dispersed. Eventually, venturing out on their own, Gary’s parents moved to their own farm southwest of Olds, Alberta and focused their farm on building a purebred herd.

Needing to have a registered name for purebred cattle, it was decided to take L. Latimer backwards and the arrival of the internationally famous “Remitall” was created.

By the time Gary was a young lad, his parents were also the owners of the local John Deere dealership, a vehicle dealership, a fertilizer agency and topped that off by selling animal feed. Gary’s uncle Carroll was also in partnership with his brother Louis, farming and raising registered Shorthorn cattle; but it was during those years that the Latimer family recognized the popularity of Hereford cattle and began the dream to establish and build the best herd possible. A herd to withstand generations and one they could be proud to own. By 1969 they were hosting Polled Hereford production sales and so in 1972, they dispersed their Shorthorn herd, posting record setting prices for their Shorthorn genetics. When Elaine (Gary’s youngest sister) showed interest in the Black Angus breed, Louis began raising a small but successful herd of Angus, augmenting her desire to compete in the junior organizations during her schooling years.

Gary had a lot to live up to … his parents were progressive and hard working people, continually making ‘changes’ and moving forward in whatever endeavor they chose to follow and for him it was no different, but cattle is in his blood.

School was not as important as going to cattle events, but he did take his school assignments, as he went off with his parents or his uncle Carroll to a show or sale which was much more interesting and he was welcome to go! So by the time he was in grade ten, he’d miss a day or a week here and there and was off to another livestock event. “I was fifteen, when I left grade ten and headed to Toronto for the Royal Winter Fair. I took five head, two Herefords and three Shorthorns; Uncle Carroll was supposed to come down later, but because of a shortage of crew back home, he never made it to the show!” Gary turned sixteen while he was there and

had Reserve Champion Bull. His adventures had just begun as his uncle was to take the cattle onto Chicago to the then famous Chicago International, but because of the problems at home, Gary got the call … “line-up a truck and take the cattle to Chicago!”

Sitting on the show box paging through a Toronto phone book for a trucker, wondering what he was going to do, Jim Mobrey of Winfield Farms came along and asked what the problem was and so Gary told him about the predicament he was in. Jim said, “You just climb in with us, as we’re headed for Chicago as well.” While out at Winfield (before heading to Chicago), Gary was feeding and exercising the show cattle, aided by an elderly gentleman. “Every morning he helped me exercise the cattle, and one evening he even took me up in his helicopter!” He was none other than E.P. Taylor, the owner of Winfield Farms and breeder of the famous ‘Northern Dancer’. On the truck to Chicago, there were also some other guy’s cattle, a hockey player that I didn’t know at the time … Bobby Hull was his name.”

“When I finally got home it was Christmas time, so there was no use going back to school then … cattle were more important to me at the time; I did eventually complete my high school at the Olds Agricultural College.” He also extended his education in Garnet, Kansas, attending the breeding school and took some additional courses as well, but he claims his best teachers were his father and uncle. “They were excellent cattlemen; they loved it; loved the business, they were great herdsmen and great breed promoters … it didn’t matter if there was a bull or a cow they wanted, they found some way to get some progeny out of them. I had many good people and great partners that I worked with, gaining so much knowledge and information, learning from them … they were my teachers.”

I went with my father a lot, doing the summer show circuit via train and spent the whole summer travelling to Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina and Vancouver. Our show strings were very large at that time. Dad had a theory that with show cattle, you got them ready in order to sell … you were making those cattle worth more, by putting them through a show ring. Back then the prize money was good enough to supplement the cost … we purchased our first livestock hauler with prize money garnered from a single season of showing cattle.” It not only carried livestock, it was also their motel and was slept in for many nights. By the time it was sold, it had over a half million miles on it, having used it for both the show circuit and free delivery of sale cattle. “We were one of the first operations to offer free delivery... it was literally non-stop trucking across North America.”


“Getting away from the topic of school, you also played hockey?”

“Yes, until I met and married Jacci and we had four children; but in later years, I went back and played senior hockey.”

“Where did you meet her?”

“Actually, her father was my hockey coach.”

“Did that get you more or less ice time?”

“Well … on road trips, we were supposed to be talking hockey, but he was always asking me what to feed and do with his cattle, as he was in the process of developing an elite herd of purebred Charolais.”

Jacci Cruikshank graduated out of Olds, worked in a doctor’s office and then married Gary in 1973. They raised four children and once the kids left home, Jacci returned to work at Olds Agricultural College for ten years.

Michael, General Manager of the Canadian Angus Association and his wife Fritz have two sons; Jack and Nick, Richard and his wife Kelly operate Remitall Farms, with Gary and Jacci, and have three children, Lauren, Louis and Ella. Jeff is lead field operator for Pen Growth Oil and along with his

wife Danielle has two little girls Alix and Mya. Sara and her husband Dusty Howell (who operates an excavating business with his father), farm at Penhold, Alberta with their children Lilly, Sadee and Reed. They raise around eighty head of cattle.

“After the dispersal of the Polled Herefords and Remitall Cattle Company, did you choose to go your own way … into Angus; were you more involved in that end of Remitall than the others?”

“At the time of our dispersals we were

running around one thousand head of Polled Herefords and one thousand head of Angus. It was always a family team effort. In my early days, I was just a junior member of the Remitall team, not even a partner, but when Uncle Carroll went out on his own in 1976, my parents Louis and Jean, Jacci and I became partners in Remitall and shortly after Bryan graduated school, he entered the partnership. In operations such as ours, you needed people that were experienced in different areas in order to make it all work. Even when we had our first group of Angus, everyone at

Remitall participated in them; Elaine showed them, but we all worked together; it was actually our son Jeff who wanted to show at the Junior Show in Bashaw;

he really enjoyed it; so it was him and Grandpa Louis that started bringing in more and more Angus into the Remitall operation. Our first Angus Production Sale was in 2001; which led right into having Angus bull sales on a regular basis for the past ten to fifteen years, but we had our first bull sale previous to that in 1990.”

After the dispersal of the Polled Herefords, ‘changes’ began once more; Richard and Kelly, Gary and Jacci


started Remitall Farms, farming about sixteen hundred acres of land, with 550 acres in crop and the balance in hay and pasture. This past year they bred 260 cows and have marketed their bulls by private treaty and at the Calgary Bull Sale. Annually, they consign a select group

of females in the Black Magic Sale held the first Saturday in October.

Nationally, Gary Latimer has judged every major show in Canada in various breeds, in addition to judging assignments in Brazil, United States, Denmark and the English Royal Fall and Central English Herd Shows in England. He worked with the Olds Ag Society as a member and was President at the time the Olds Cow Palace was constructed. Gary has been coach and director of minor hockey for the Olds Hockey Association; the Alberta Hereford Association President and a director; he’s been on the

board of the Canadian Gelbvieh Association and a director of the Alberta Cattle Breeders Association and as most know, is currently President of the Canadian Angus Association. Richard is following in his father’s footsteps, currently being director for the Alberta Angus Association and involved with the Olds Ag Society. He’s already judged numerous 4-H shows, has judged at Edmonton Farmfair International and has been one of the judges at Canadian Western Agribition’s First Lady Classic.

“Because the Angus breed has grown and in the past decade or so has become the largest in the beef industry, what is its next step or the direction that you see for the breed?”

“That’s an easy and yet hard question. I am the 107th president. There have been several people who have done a lot of things before me; breeders, directors and presidents, this isn’t a ‘fly-by the night’ breed. The cattle have earned their way to date; but there have been people (Angus forefathers) who have made some pretty big decisions in getting Angus meat/beef promoted … Certified Angus Beef is one of the greatest marketing ideas that was ever developed in the livestock industry. So your question as to where the breed is going … well, all everyone has to do is keep the wheels on track and continue doing everything that has been done for the past ten years. Produce good, sound cattle and get them marketed; continue to keep the consumer informed and happy, as everyone wants good and safe meat to eat … that’s going to be a big ticket item in the future. The wheels are in motion and turning well, so we don’t have to get into a big competition and all of a sudden sprint to the end. The Angus breed is very fortunate at the moment; we have a few different types of breeders; those that raise commercial cattle, show cattle and breeders that sell $1000.00 to $1500.00 heifers and $2000.00 bulls. There are some breeders who operate at a lower profile; it’s a big enough breed now, that you can play at whatever level you want to. You can trade from $50,000.00 females and bulls or just stay home and sell a few cattle at a time and at any level.”

“You’re not concerned about complacency?”

“Well it can get there and that’s been the downfall of a lot of purebred breeds. The big point that we are trying to initiate, as an association, is make way for more ‘changes’ … for the youth in our industry. We have initiated two well received programs. The first program is the Canadian Angus Rancher Endorsed Program with it’s green tags identifying Angus genetics through the commercial industry is very successful and the second is our junior program. You don’t have to tell them how to do it, but we do have to put the tools in place for them to move ahead. They need the continuation and improvement of livestock shows; they need sales in order to market their cattle and finished steers. We need to work harder at maintaining and increasing our junior representation, not just in the Angus breed, but in agriculture.”

“I know that my forefathers didn’t come to this country for the fun of it; they came to ensure that there was a future for


them and our families … create a future for the next generation to make a living, a good living and that is where the Angus breed can fit in and continue for the next one hundred years. Everyone wants to invest in business or someone else... why not invest in young people right in your neighborhood … you can make just as good a return doing that as you can investing in the stock market right now. We’ve got to ‘change’ and make room, create more business opportunities and be more respective of our young people than we already are.”

“As you know, one of our big member provinces is Ontario and Ontario is show orientated … what are your thoughts on them ‘paving’ pastures out there?”

“It’s really a worry right now in our breed; across the country there are over one thousand members that are registering less than ten head, but we have 90 members who register over 100 head and twelve members who register 350 to 900 head annually. One can have a small farm and only a few cattle, but you can build equity up in the young people on those farms. Build up to 20 or 30 head, that’s the whole deal with farming; you might not make the big bucks, but you can sure build up equity fast. It’s going to change though; have you noticed

the John Deere ads … they are selling a lot more acreage tractors and equipment. There’s going to be some very large farms, but there is always going to be hobby farms. They’ll continue to have good cattle and they are going to want to show them, have a little fun … and get the ‘family package’ going along with financial reward.”

“You have been involved in several breeds of cattle; what is your preference, what makes the Angus Breed so much better?”

“We are involved in the Angus Breed and really like them … no doubt about it. Richard and I wanted to do something together and we choose to do something that Richard wanted, which was working in the Angus Breed. We had a really good go in the Hereford breed and did it as a team. I like all breeds of cattle, but what I really like is the special cattle that you find. We like finding or breeding special cattle; they don’t come along very often, and you have to go through a lot, in order to raise those special ones.”


“The Angus cow, is the best money cow … isn’t she?”

“Efficiently run, yes by far, she is the back bone of the whole Angus Breed’s success.

“Cross breeding, we are going to have it as long as there are cattle, we need it for heterosis, don’t you agree?”

“Yes it has it’s place in the industry, but if everyone is doing a proper job, we should be able to raise an animal without any other breed involved … that should be the goal. Could you cross another breed with a Holstein to make it produce more milk? Can you produce another horse that can run faster than a Thoroughbred? So why can’t you have a beef cow that you can’t cross anything with to make her better? About 60% of the commercial herds have Angus in them; therefore, we’re going to have to continue making improvements to fit the total package. The cows aren’t that far off; you can mix smaller cows with bigger ones, whatever you want for your operation. The bull division is a bit more difficult and by the time we get it figured out, they will have ‘changed’ the grading system or something, but at the moment Angus fit in pretty well.”

“In your days as part of the Remitall team, you have achieved success worldwide allowing you and Jacci to travel making friendships around the globe. What are some memorable moments?”

“In 1969 we had the first Polled Hereford, Remitall Modern Gold, winning Grand Champion at the Calgary Bull Sale... Remitall Monarch was named Grand Champion Bull for three consecutive years at the Royal Show in England... Remitall Online who was named Canadian National Grand Champion Bull and went on to become US National Grand Champion Bull for two years running... over the decades we have shown many Champions at our National Show, Canadian Western Agribition, in the Gelbvieh, Hereford and Angus breeds ... we were fortunate to have made it to the winners circle many times. We sold embryos to Uruguay where they eventually won some divisions and sold semen into Argentina where the progeny is very successful. We have sold cattle, semen or embryos to Japan, various South American countries, Mexico, England, Denmark, Germany,

Ireland, Scotland, Finland, Sweden, Russia, Kazakhstan and United States. The whole deal... the whole business has been fun. We enjoyed coming across good cattle and we worked hard to get them, but you have to have good cattle … that’s the whole back bone to the industry. The people and the good times, those that we have met throughout Canada and those we have met internationally... we have developed friends everywhere.”

The father/son team strives to make their mark in the Angus breed and fraternity, finding it amazing to work with a breed that has been progressing for over two hundred years. They realize that their progress is based on genetics, management and credibility, their goal is to enhance and lay the groundwork for generations to follow. The folks at Remitall Farms realize that if you want ‘change’ you have to make it and if you want progress... you have to push to achieve it. It’s the result of good genetics!

By: Chris Poley

It is a warm, windy mid September day and around here anxious farmers are finally hitting the fields hard. I realize that many areas are much further ahead (of the area where I live) and many are even done combining. However, cows are forgotten, when the combines are rolling. I totally understand how crucial the window for harvest can be and that grade loss can be a major factor. Even for beef producers who don’t own a combine, harvest effects their cow management, as straw needs to be sourced, baled and hauled off the field, “cause those grain farmers don’t want bales standing in the field!”

Too often producers let harvest sneak up on them and the beef cow herd goes on auto pilot. Management decisions made at this time of year will affect you the whole year, just as bad or worse than having the wheat go from a #1 to a #2. For those who have yearlings on grass, this is the time to be marketing them; you need to keep an eye on the markets and talk to marketing reps and buyers to maximize your returns off grass. Leaving those grassers out too long can be costly, both in weight loss and price loss, if you miss the peak run of yearlings. Breeders must also be preparing to wean; depending on when you calve, the time may be now or approaching. You hear so often, “I should have weaned my calves awhile ago but I have been too busy and the cows are taking care of them.” Well those people are wrong. Two negatives are actually happening by not weaning on time, firstly the calves start to lose weight and worse they lose their bloom and if you are planning to market those calves, dry haired, stale looking calves do not command good value. For you purebred breeders if you let your bull calves get behind and do not get them started early, you will never catch up. If they are a hundred pounds light in the fall, they will be a hundred pounds light on sale day. The bull market is very competitive and if you want to have a sale average in the top end, your bulls must be ready and look like bulls worthy of a premium. Planning to show in the fall is another consideration and it costs too much money to go to town and not be ready to compete; although not everyone can win, the more important part of being there is having a string that is eye appealing and stops traffic (potential customers). Secondly the cows are getting run down at the worst possible time, right before our brutal Canadian winter. Cows never gain better or more economically than they do early in the fall when they have dried up and the weather is still warm; this is basically holiday time in a cow’s year…we all know how easy it is to gain weight on holidays!

Managing your beef cows twelve months of the year is crucial to determining how large your profit margin is. Both commercially and even more so as purebred breeders, as you are breeding and developing bulls whose sole job is to transfer genetics to the commercial beef industry. It is simple in theory but as we all know, things can and do happen to those bulls along the way; the way you manage your herd can definitely influence just how many happen. The seed stock industry is extremely competitive; it is a great way to raise a family and the people you meet are the true reward.

“We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there, lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again - and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.” - Mark Twain

Seldom do I write about personal experiences but after decades of assisting in the marketing of purebred livestock, I was faced with an experience which combined livestock marketing and the legal system. On August 29, 2012, I represented T Bar C Cattle Co. Ltd., Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (the defendant) in Small Claims Court, Guelph, Ontario regarding a mandatory settlement conference. The plaintiff in the case claimed that the defendant was in breach of agreement as stated in the catalogue of the Autumn Angus Classic Sale held on September 4, 2010 in Guelph, Ontario.

The plaintiff consigned a three year old Angus bull, North Perth Paramount 31T to the sale and the purchaser (who was not in attendance but viewed the animal prior) purchased the bull by bidding to the defendant by telephone for $4900.00. The purchaser sent a truck the next morning to pick-up the animal and stated he would submit payment. The defendant pursued payment but the purchaser related that the bull was faulty. After a three month time period the purchaser stopped all contact with both parties (defendant and plaintiff) and the plaintiff picked up the bull. The bull was custom fed off farm throughout the winter, then consigned to another public auction where he sold for $3100.00. The claim against the defendant was the difference in the selling price, related sale costs, feed, trucking, and interest.

The Justice presiding suggested immediate settlement to the defendant as the defendant purchasing the animal on the telephone was representing the purchaser therefore it changed hands at the fall of the hammer. Furthermore, the property should not have been released until full settlement had been completed and pursuing the matter to a higher court would lead to added expense with the same result. .. hence settlement by the defendant was made that morning. (The first loss is usually the best loss.)

Consider the number of cattle purchased everyday and placed by telephone into feed yards throughout North America by agents (order buyers) by a mere nod or show of hand. Consider the number of breeding stock sold one


at a time to producers throughout the country. These transactions are a matter of trust or what I call the “cowboy code” just like a “breeder integrity” code which breeders live by.

In this particular case, no doubt the defendant is the idiot, but this incident sends out a red flag in purebred marketing. There are a host of order buyers out there trying to make a living through commission sales; subsequently, owners hire these entrepreneurs with the hope of selling their product out of their marketing area and getting a higher value for that product. In addition to these order buyers, there are breeders representing other breeders as order buyers. All this marketing is transacted via telephone or text messaging. In addition, in many cases, sales are broadcast live on the internet to some purchasers relatively unknown to the masses. Granted, not releasing the purchase is the only answer, but someone has to hurt and you might need deep pockets and lots of grass.

Consider the fact that we have two sale seasons; three months in the spring, and about the same time frame in the fall. There is a flow of cattle from East to West during that time and many times cattle are loaded immediately after a sale for convenience, simply because livestock trucks do not operate on the same schedule as planes - four or five flights a day. Returning cattle to the sellers farm/ranch add cost and stress; therefore, who is responsible for these burdens? Animal rights activists are scrutinizing welfare, management and handling practices more and more each day.

Livestock auctions are fun and rewarding and through them we attract new breeders, mostly the younger generation. In Eastern Canada, these auctions are made to generate revenue but are also breed social events or what one might refer to as “ a happening.” I suggest that livestock marketers, sale managers, ringmen and auctioneers might just have to do a little more research about their clientele.

The livestock industry has been built on trust and integrity... they quit hanging cattle rustlers a century ago. What message does the settlement in this case send to the young up-and-coming marketers and breeders in the industry?... you decide. For those who are interested, I still carry a cell phone.
