POINTS TO PONDER
From the Field
Helge By
The buzz
word in the
industry today is
Genomics and
we need to sit
up and take notice of what it is, how it
can help us and what we need to do
to keep up with the rest of the breeds.
Genome Canada is partnering on a
multi-million dollar project with all
the beef breeds to do complete
sequencing of the foundation sires to
find the gene markers necessary for
advancement. This project involves
scientists from around the world.
Here is the basis of it taken from the
website www.canadacow.ca
This sequence information can be
analyzed directly, used for comparing
animals within a breed, or for comparing
animals across breeds. One category of
genetic difference frequently used for
comparison is Single Nucleotide
Polymorphisms or SNPs. SNPs are used
as genetic markers to track the ancestral
heritage of regions of DNA or of
individual animals. SNPs also can be
used to predict the likelihood that a given
animal will possess an individual or a
series of desirable trait(s). The latter can
only occur once a SNP or a collection of
SNPs is linked to a particular trait.
In this project, genotypes (the pattern
of important SNPs), from a wide range of
beef and dairy breeds will be used to
develop accurate genomic prediction
equations to assess the genetic potential of
an individual animal. This information
will, in turn, be used to make genetic
improvement in Canada’s cattle
populations. Genotyping a large number
of animals is necessary to attain
acceptable levels of reliability, and can
only be achieved through international
collaboration. Low-cost tests will be
developed that allow an animal’s entire
genome to be inferred from a relatively
small number of SNPs, thereby giving
valuable information as to its breeding
value. The project will work with
scientists (and data) from across the
world, as well as leading Canadian
seedstock organisations.

What are benefits for livestock producers?
• Bottom line – Reduced costs from
efficient breeding and management
• 9-10% lower herd maintenance
• 20-40% estimated financial gain from
using genomics technologies in
beef cattle
• Improved breeding performance
• Improve traits that are lowly heritable
or difficult to measure
• Faster genetic improvement. Even
with the best conventional breeding and
reproduction technologies, it still takes
five years to produce a new bull calf, rear
it to sexual maturity and progeny-test its
offspring. Traits such as tenderness and
marbling can only be assessed after the
animal is slaughtered, so it is no longer
available for breeding. Using genomics
tools could compress the entire cycle into
just a few weeks, and have the first
superior new calves born in little more
than a year.
• Improved animal health. A new
understanding of hostpathogen
interactions based on genomics research
offers the promise of improved vaccines
and disease immunity, new gene-based
targets for treatment, better response
times to new threats and the potential to
breed healthier animals.
• Selection for animals that are
naturally calm and produce less appetitereducing hormones will result in faster
weight gains and fewer aggression-related
problems
• Feed efficiency. A genetic test would
more than pays for itself by producing
animals that grow faster on less feed (1012% less feed intake).
Look for the CCA ad or on their
website for the list of sires wanted for
complete sequencing. Besides doing a
complete sequence on the foundation
sires, they will also do a 750K SNP
test on 450 other influencial bulls in
the breed and then do a 50K SNP on
550 more. There is a tax receipt
available for some of this DNA so
your costs can be covered although I
think this is bigger than what it will
cost you to send it in. This is a great
Charolais Banner • October 2012
way to enhance the reliability and
accuracy of the EPD and predict what
cattle can do at a very young age.
On the International Charolais stage
this was the topic of conversation at
the last two meetings and will be a
focus at the World Techinical
Conference next summer in Sweden. I
am hoping that we can co-ordinate
with other countries to identify the
gene markers of Charolais cattle
around the world. Exciting stuff that I
think has big ramifications in
improving the breed down the road.
I think we should encourage
anyone who draws semen on a bull or
flushes a cow do a 50K SNP on the
animal. The more DNA we get
involved, the faster we will be able to
get ties to gene markers and the faster
we will be able to move the breed
forward. Some breed associations
have already put this in their bylaws
making it mandatory.
Along with the DNA testing, we
cannot forget to have some data to go
with it. Accurate performance records
and ultrasound data are some things
that need to go along with it. The
request for the Leptin testing is
becoming more common as well, so
know what it is and how it can help
your marketing in the spring bull sales.
The fall female sales in the east have
started out very good and the interest
in the sales in the west is encouraging.
We had some new breeders buy at all
of the first sales including the
National in Quebec. The enthusiasm
from outside the breed toward the
breed is very strong and we need to
have this to attract new members and
breeders. It is up to us as to how good
the Charolais industry gets. We all
need to do our part by keeping the
breed visible and healthy. We can’t
wait for someone else to show or
promote the breed. We all need to do
our part. Many want to focus on their
bull sale but aren’t doing their part to
keep the whole breed active and
visible. I know I have said it before

POINTS À RÉFLÉCHIR
Du Champ
Helge By
Génomique
est le mot à la
mode dans
l'industrie de
bœuf
aujourd'hui. Nous devons prêter
l'attention à ce qu'est la génomique, à
la façon dont les données génomique
peuvent nous aider et ce que nous
devons faire d’être courant avec des
autres races de bœuf. Le Génome
Canada est partenariat sur un projet
du dollar de multi-million avec toutes
races de bœuf. Pour l'avancement de
la race Génome Canada fait
l'ordonnancement complet des
taureaux fondateurs pour trouver les
marqueurs de gène nécessaires. Des
scientifiques de partout dans le
monde sont comportés dans ce projet
Voici les fondations du projet pris
du site Web www.canadacow.ca.
Cette information d'ordre peut être
analysée directement, utilisé pour
comparer des animaux dans une race, ou
pour comparer des animaux à travers des
races. Une catégorie de différence
génétique fréquemment utilisée pour la
comparaison est des polymorphismes
simples de nucléotide « Single Nucleotide
Polymorphisms » ou SNPs. SNPs sont
employés comme les marqueurs
génétiques à dépister l'héritage ancestral
des régions de l'ADN ou des animaux
individus. SNPs peut être également
employé à prévoir la probabilité qu'un
animal possédera un trait individu ou des
séries de traits souhaitables. Celui-ci se
produise seulement lorsqu'un SNP ou
une collection de SNPs est lié à un trait
particulier.
ILes génotypes sont le modèle de SNPs
important. Dans ce projet, des génotypes
de plusieurs races de boeuf et de laiterie
seront employés pour développer des
équations génomiques précises de
prévision d’évaluer le potentiel génétique
d'un animal individuel. Cette information
sera employée à apporter l'amélioration
génétique des cheptels bovins du Canada.
En trouvant des génotypes d’un grand
nombre d'animaux est nécessaire pour
atteindre les niveaux acceptables de la
8
fiabilité. Celui-ci peut être seulement
réalisé par la collaboration internationale.
On se développera des essais peu coûteux
qui permettent au génome entier d'un
animal d'être impliqué d'un nombre
relativement petit de SNPs, fournissant
de ce fait l'information valable quant à sa
valeur de multiplication. Le projet
fonctionnera avec des scientifiques et des
données de l'autre côté du monde, aussi
bien que de principaux organismes
canadiens de seedstock.
Quels sont des avantages pour des
éleveurs de bétail ?
• Résultat - coûts réduits de la
multiplication et de la gestion efficaces
• 9-10% moins d’entretien de troupeau
• 20-40% a estimé le gain financier
d'employer des technologies de génomique
dans des cheptels de bœuf
• Amélioration dans la performance
de multiplication
• Améliorez les traits qui sont
héritables modeste ou difficiles à mesurer
• Une amélioration de génétique plus
rapide. Les meilleures technologies
conventionnelles de multiplication et de la
reproduction prennent cinq ans pour
produire un nouveau taureau jeune, lui
élever à la maturité sexuels, et fait les
essais de sa progéniture. Des traits tels
que la tendresse et marbrer peuvent
seulement être évalués après que l'animal
soit abattu, ainsi il n'est plus disponible
pour la multiplication. L'utilisation des
outils de génomique peut comprimer le
cycle entier à quelques semaines. Les
premiers veaux nouveaux supérieurs
seraient nés dans un peu plus d’un an.
• La santé des animaux améliorée.
Basées sur la recherche de génomique une
nouvelle compréhension des interactions
hôte-pathogène offre la promesse des vaccins
améliorés et de l'immunité de la maladie,
de nouvelles cibles gène-basées pour le
traitement, meilleurs temps de réponse à
de nouvelles menaces et le potentiel de
multiplier des animaux plus sains.
• Sélection des animaux qui sont
naturellement calmes et qui produit moins
d'hormones de réduction d’appétit. Ils auront
les conséquences des gains plus rapides de
Charolais Banner • October 2012
poids et peu de problèmes d’agression.
• Efficacité d'alimentation. Un essai
génétique produisant les animaux qui se
développent plus rapidement sur moins
d'alimentation (moins prise d'alimentation
10-12%) plus que payent lui-même.
Recherchez l'annonce de CCA en ce
magasin ou sur le site Web de CCA
pour la liste de taureaux fondateurs
voulus pour l'ordonnancement
complet. Le Génome Canada examine
également 450 autres taureaux
influents dans la race pour un essai de
750K SNP et alors encore 550 taureaux
supplémentaires pour un 50K SNP
examinent.
Il y a des recettes fiscales
disponibles pour couvrir une partie de
ce coût d'ADN. Cependant je pense
que les récompenses de l'essai de
génome sont supérieures au coût
d'introduire l'ADN. C'est une grande
manière d'augmenter la fiabilité et
l'exactitude de l'EPD et de prévoir ce
que les bétail peuvent faire à un âge
très jeune.
Sur la scène de charolais
international le sujet de génomique
était la matière de la conversation lors
des deux dernières réunions. Il sera
aussi une mise à point à la conférence
technique du monde l'été prochain en
Suède. J'espère que nous pouvons
coordonner avec d'autres pays pour
identifier les marqueurs de gène des
bétail du charolais autour du monde ;
les détails passionnants que je pense
ont de grandes ramifications en
améliorant la race à l'avenir.
Je pense que nous devrions
encourager les éleveurs de faire un
essai génomique de 50K SNP pour
ceux que prend le sperme d’un
taureau ou la fleuvement d’une vache.
Lorsque le plus d’ADN qu’on a, le
plus rapidement que nous pouvons
construire les marqueurs génétiques
et nous pouvons améliorer la race
charolais en avance. Quelques
associations de race ont déjà fait
obligatoire dans leurs règlements
l’essai de 50K SNP.

In my September Connection article I
discussed the topic of what market prices
may do this fall which is never far from the
minds of commercial cattle producers. My
synopsis was basically that all indicators
pointed to a possibility of a slight reduction
in prices when compared to last year, but
basically a stable market.
In the space of a few weeks two incidents
have occurred that could have an influence
on that statement.
Firstly, as quoted in the October 8th 2012
issue of the newsletter – AGRIWEEK.
Statistics Canada’s second crop report of
the season, issued October 4th, appears to
quite accurately assess the damage done to
prairie crops by freak summer weather and
unprecedented disease and insect attacks.
Total Canadian production of the major
crops was out at 68.04 million tonnes,
compared to 74.56 million expected in July,
a drop of 9%. As expected, canola was the
hardest hit of all crops with the latest report
at 13.36 tonnes, down 13% from the 15.41
projected in July.
And more importantly from a specific
beef point of view, XL Foods of Brooks,
Alberta had its operating licence suspended
by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency
because of an E.coli outbreak at the
processing plant. The full extent of the
fallout from this outbreak is as yet
unknown. At the time of writing, the
CanFax Weekly Market Outlook and
Analysis from October 5th 2012 was
reporting non-fed values (cows & bulls)
down $3.50, fat steers down $2.00 with
yearlings and calves holding their own. The
notable bear factor is that carcass weights
continue to increase sharply.
Some of the market share was taken up
by the Cargill plant at High River, Alberta
and U.S. buyers, so the market is holding its
own as of the second week of October. How
long the market remains reasonably stable
and how long XL Foods remains stuttered
is guess work at this stage.
Let’s focus on the good news! I just
returned from the October 6th Expo Boeuf
2012 National Charolais show in
Victoriaville, Quebec, which will be covered
in more depth by Helge and Candace By.
However, it was an excellent show and sale
with over 100 head from 5 different
provinces taking part. Congratulations to
the Quebec Charolais members for
organizing a very good event.
For the rest of this article, Mel Reekie
Office Manager/Registry will provide some
important updates from her desk.

Even if your tank went dry we can still use the DNA on these Foundation sires.
The Canadian Charolais Association in conjunction with Genome Canada are looking for DNA from these foundation sires to have
full DNA sequencing done. There is a $100 tax receipt available for this, so contact the office if you have or know
where we can locate these for this important project.
Take a look at the project online at www.canadacow.ca
Please refer to www.charolais.com for a complete list of young sires that are also needed.

DE BUREAU DU DIRECTEUR GÉNÉRAL DE L’ACC
Mise à Jour de l’automne 2012
Neil Gillies, directeur général, l’Association Canadienne du Charolais
Dans la revue
Charolais
Connection de
septembre j'ai
discuté les prix
du marché et ce
qu’ils peuvent faire cet automne. De
mon point de vue, tous les indicateurs
se sont dirigés à la possibilité d'une
réduction des prix le moindre par
rapport à l'année dernière, mais nous
aurions fondamentalement un
marché stable.
Dans l'espace de quelques semaines
deux incidents se sont produits qui
peuvent influencer ce rapport.
Premièrement, cité dans la revue du
8 octobre 2012 du bulletin
AGRIWEEK. Le deuxième rapport de
la récolte de la saison du statistiques
Canada publié le 4 octobre semble
évaluer exactement les dommages
faits aux récoltes de prairie par le
temps anormal d'été et les attaques
sans précédent de la maladie et
d'insecte. La production canadienne
totale des récoltes principales était à
68.04 millions de tonnes, comparées à
74.56 millions prévus en juillet, une
baisse de 9%. Comme prévu, le canola
était le récolte le plus dur frappé de
toutes les récoltes avec le dernier
rapport à 13.36 tonnes, en bas de 13%
des 15.41 projetées en juillet.
Le deuxième incident effectuant nos
marchés est basé sur l'industrie de
boeuf. XL Foods, de Brooks en
Alberta, ont eu son permis de
fonctionnement suspendu par l'agence
canadienne d'inspection de nourriture
en raison d'une manifestation d'Ecoli
à l'installation de transformation. La
pleine ampleur des retombées de cette
manifestation est jusqu'ici inconnu. À
l'heure de l'écriture, le « CanFax
Weekly Market Outlook and Analysis
» à partir du 5 octobre 2012 rapportait
les vaches et les taureaux inférieurs
diminuent par 3,50$, les bouvillons
gras en bas de 2,00$ avec des bêtes
d'un an et veaux qui restent stable.
Les poids de carcasse continuent à
augmenter brusquement est le f
acteur notable.
12
L’usine de transformation Cargill à
High River en Alberta a pris une
partie du marché d'abattage avec les
acheteurs des États-Unis. Personne ne
sait combien de temps le marché
demeurera raisonnablement stable ni
combien de temps XL Foods serait
fermées pour la production.
Concentrons sur les bonnes
nouvelles ! Je suis retourné de
l'exposition nationale du charolais à
l'Expo Boeuf, Victoriaville, Québec.
Helge et Candace By donnent plus de
détails concernant l’exposition et de la
vente dans cette revue de la Charolais
Banner. Je dirai que c'était une
exposition et vente excellente avec
plus de 100 animaux charolais de 5
provinces différentes. Félicitations aux
membres de l’association charolais du
Québec pour organiser un très bon
événement.
NOUVELLES DU DÉPARTEMENT

Le projet canadien de génome . est
en cours comme effort commun
d'établir de meilleurs profils de
données des taureaux dans beaucoup
de races comprenant les charolais. La
« Delta Genomics » a reçu des
échantillons au génotype et à l'ordre
pour la race du charolais. De quelque
manière qu'il y a de nombreux
taureaux que nous n'avons pas des
données d'ADN suffisantes. Veuillez
voir la liste détaillée en ce magasin ou
sur le site Web de CCA des taureaux
qui exigent davantage d'essai d'ADN.
L'aide de notre adhésion est
considérablement appréciée.
Comme source de l'ADN les
échantillons qui peuvent être employés
sont : fioles de sperme, pailles de
sperme, sang, des poiles et tissu.
L'université d'Alberta offre les recettes
fiscales de 100$ et 50$ aux sélectionneurs
qui peuvent fournir ces échantillons si
nécessaires à l'aide établissent ce
projet à sa pleine capacité.
À rappeler, concernant l’ADN la
vérification de père est exigé pour les
taureaux qui marche et multiplier

at the University of Saskatchewan,

Science. It was great to see so many
new (and old) faces at CCYA 2012 in
Olds this past July. Congratulations to
the Alberta youth for putting together
such a great week!

our annual Agribition Semen Auction.
Charolais breeders generously
donate semen straws to the National
Board to be auctioned off just before
the Charolais Sale held at Agribition.
This is an excellent fundraiser for the
National Board and all the money
goes back into programs for our
youth. We are thankful and very
much appreciate all donations! I hope
to see a lot of you in attendance!

Les données précises d'ultrasons et
des exécutions sont nécessaires pour
construire sur les résultats d'ADN. La
demande d'essai de « Leptin » devient
plus commune. Familiarisez-vous
avec le gène « Leptin » et examinez
comment il peut vous aider à lancer
vos taureaux ce printemps aux ventes
de taureaux.
Les ventes femelles d'automne dans
l'est ont eu un bon début et l'intérêt
pour les ventes occidentales
encourage. Les nouveaux
sélectionneurs ont acheté à toutes les
premières ventes comprenant le
national au Québec. L'enthousiasme
de l'extérieur de la race vers le

charolais est très fort et nous avons
besoin de ceci pour attirer de
nouveaux membres et sélectionneurs.
Du bon l'industrie du charolais
devienne nous sommes responsables.
Il faut que nous faisons nos travails de
faire la promotion de la race et de
garder de la bonne santé dans notre
race. Nous ne pouvons pas attendre
pour quelqu'un d'autre de montrer ou
favoriser la race. Nous tout le besoin
de faire notre partie. Beaucoup
veulent se concentrer sur leur vente
de taureau mais ne font pas leur
partie à maintenir la race active et
évidente. Je sais que je l'ai déjà dit
mais si vous ne faites pas l’exposition
Charolais Banner • October 2012
ni vendrez les animaux cette automne
svp au moins assister aux fonctions
charolais et démontre l'appui.
Également n’oubliez pas d’aller au
marché local d’enchère quand les
acheteurs de vos taureaux se vendent
leurs veaux. Prouvez que vous êtes
intéressé par la façon dont vos clients
font et la façon dont vos taureaux ont
exécuté pour eux.
Comme toujours, si Craig ou moi
peut vous donner l’assistance cet
automne n'hésitez pas à entrer en
contact avec nous.

Wayne and Jacqui Mack wanted to
cut back some of their workload and
did so by having a reduction sale of
the Charolais herd they have been
building for the past 25 years. Interest
from across the country saw cattle sell
across Ontario, with the local buyers
filling the seats and giving them a

It’s All About Quality
Darren Paget presented the ACA Breeder of the Year Award to April, Megan, Colby and Rod McLeod, of McLeod Livestock
PROFILE – McLEOD LIVESTOCK
A
Candace By
lberta’s Breeder of the Year this year was
McLeod Livestock, Cochrane, Alberta. It is a small
operation that has a high profile through youth
activities, the show ring and strong marketing. Here is
how it all came to be.
Rod McLeod was actually raised in the purebred Polled
Hereford business near Claresholm, but his first job
involved all breeds. It was a warm summer day in Mount
Forest, Ontario, in 1984 and Rod McLeod was working for
World of Beef as a fieldman. It was the OCA AGM and a
whole 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, “I
found the fieldman we are looking for.” Hayes replied,
“Who?” Helge responded, “That kid I worked ring with
today.” So when they got to Alberta, Hayes picked up Rod
and took him to meet some of the owners, the Stettler crew
of Don Pochylko and Don Peters. Rod chuckles, “Actually
with Hayes it was more of a meeting with the women. I
had to get the blessing from Sandra and Sylvia.” Thus
started Rod’s introduction to the Charolais indsutry.
Later his parents would get into the Charolais business
by purchasing a package of females by private treaty from
Flat Valley Charolais, Reuben and Lorene and Eugene and
Pam Ehret, Hilda, Alberta.
Rod worked with the Charolais Banner under the
conglomerate of breeder owners until the opportunity
22
came to buy most of them out in 1985. Then he, Helge and
Mark Kihn became partners and owners. In 1991, he made
the move to sales management and managed Charolais
sales in Alberta for three years.
His cattle industry experience continued to grow when
Rod became General Manager of the Canadian Maine
Anjou Association. This five year period gave him
increased knowledge of how cattle organizations work. In 1999, Rod started working within the elk industry.
Qeva was a publicly traded company, which was started
initially to market elk and elk antler products. In January
of 2003, it purchased a small abbatoir at Balzac, Alberta to

B.O.S.S. presentations at a CCA AGM
market elk meat. In May of that year,
BSE struck the Canadian beef industry
and the plant experienced dramatic
changes. Rod says, “It moved our
production from comfortable to
capacity. If you weren’t full during
the first six months of BSE, something
was wrong. We learned how to run at
full capacity quickly.”
Rod and April purchased the meat
plant in January of 2004 and have run
it ever since. The previous owner only
did custom work that came his way.
He never pushed the retail end of the
business, never owned or fed cattle or
speculated on his own. “When we took over, we started
slaughtering elk. When BSE hit, we
were running on capacity and the elk
was too hard to market. It is a niche
market and we had so much beef
coming in, and it was easier to market
to the masses. “We do about 400 hogs each week,
which is similar to what was being
done before we took over.
Hogs were easier to get.
Truthfully we took it up to
800 per week up until the big
hog crash a few years ago.
Then when
all of the hog producers got
out of business it became
hard to find hogs. Olymel
contracts the hog production
in the province. It has made it
almost impossible to get a
constant supply of pigs
because they have control of
the market. They contract the
whole farm now. They send
24
the trucks to pick the pigs up. If they
catch you selling pigs somewhere else,
they will terminate your contract.
When the hog market dropped so
bad, the few guys that were left in it
were scrambling to make sure they
had some place to go with their pigs.
So they got a lot of the guys on board
on two and three year deals. Not just
a one year contract, like in the cattle
business where Cargill will contract a
pen. Olymel comes in and contacts
your whole production, everything,
it’s either all or nothing. The Alberta
Hog Marketing Board collapsed and
they used to take from smaller
producers putting together liner
loads. When the hog market crashed,
they couldn’t market the product so
they lost the producers and folded.
Most of the smaller producers they
dealt with are gone. The infrastructure
in the marketing of pigs changed.
“We do 30-35 beef each week. To
maintain a constant supply, I’ve either
Charolais Banner • October 2012
Rod McLeod working ring
got them on feed myself, or I’ve
purchased entire calf crops from
producers. They feed them exactly the
way I want them. I work with other
producers too. I have some purebred
breeders feed out the calves that will
not go into their purebred herds to
my specifications.
“I don’t do any cull cows or bulls. I
can’t make the quality of meat that I
want out of these cull animals. I still
do custom work, I don’t turn it away
but we always have a supply of fat
cattle on hand as we have to keep the
plant running at full capacity. I’ve got
guys that do branded beef programs
that bring their product to me. They
market it themselves. I just package it
up exactly the way they want it.
“John Lamb, at Balzac, is probably
one of the larger grass-fed programs.
We did 100 head for him last year. His
daughter Nicole does the marketing
and we do the cutting. I’ve got other
guys that do 50-60 head throughout
the year.
“Our fund-raising deal has
turned out to be huge. A
friend of ours at Cochrane,
came to us and said ‘We’re
tired of selling magazines and
chocolates for fundraisers.
Can you put together a few
beef packages so our swim
club can sell them?’ So we
came up with ten packages.
Package one is thirty onepound packages of
hamburger. Package two is
ten pounds of New York
steaks. We came up with ten
different packages and they get 20
percent of what they sell. They supply
us with all of the sales and we have 30
days from the time they give it to us
to deliver the product. It has become
huge, we are turning them away.
We’ve got schools that will sell
$120,000 each year. Our average drop
per fundraiser this year was $18,000
and we do three or four a week.
Everybody says it is the easiest sell
they have ever had. All they have to
do is get the forms out there and it
sells itself. People only have a certain
size deepfreeze. So they can buy three
cubic feet because that is the only
space they have. But they find, that
when it is there, they eat it and really
like it and want to order again. The
ones that were going once have
increased to twice per year because of
demand. People mark it on their
calendars now to time their purchases
with the groups they support.
Everytime the fundraiser comes back
to us it is bigger.
“We custom do steaks for guys that
cater, like Eric Andrews that did the
cooking for the CCYA Keep and Cull
competition. He buys 5000 steaks a
year from us. He won’t buy his meat
anywhere else, because he knows he
is guaranteed the quality and all he
has to do is cook it and it is the same
everytime. Nothing goes out of our
place that isn’t aged properly. We do
a lot of 28-40 day aged. “I spend no money on advertising.
It is all word of mouth. Our plant has
run at maximum capacity for five
years. We can’t do anymore, the walls
are the prohibiting factor on what we
can do. We can only do so
much. We are turning
fundraisers away. We can
hang 240 sides in our cooler
at one time. Our quality has
to be at the top-end. The
George Foreman is always
sitting there and if anyone
gets an inkling that
something is wrong, we’ll
cook a piece of the ribeye or
striploin and try it. There
will be four guys standing
around and if one guy says
it’s not good enough, we
grind the whole thing. There
is no hesitation. We have to
Dry aging at the meat plant
have quality.
“We have 18 full-tme employees
with no plans for expansion. When
the developers move in and shut me
down, we’re done. We just can’t afford
to rebuild it. The number one problem
is that you can’t build it in the right
place. I tried once to build on the
south side of Airdrie and the City of
Airdrie just laughed at me. They told
me there would never be an abbatoir
built in the city limits of Airdrie. It’s
one of those things the voters dictate.
They want employment in their
neighborhood, just not in their
backyard. We don’t have smell or
odour or anything, but it is the
perception. The zoning requirements
are made for huge plants like Cargill.
Even though we are small, the
April hard at work in Balzac Meats
Charolais Banner • October 2012
regulations we have to follow are
made for them.
“All of our employees are from
Calgary and getting them to commute
a greater distance isn’t easy. Finding
employees is another issue. Nobody
teaches how to cut meat anymore. All
they teach them is how to cut out of a
box. Nobody teaches them how to
break something down. The big plants
teach them one specific thing. I always
compare it to the construction
industry. There are framers and
finishing carpenters and everybody
that works at my place is a finishing
carpenter. They are the best of the
best. They get paid accordingly. I have
the highest priced meat cutters in all
of Calgary, but they are all getting
older. My employees have been with
me for a while, there hasn’t been a
change at my table for three years. If
you lose one key guy when you are
operating at maximum capacity,
you’re in trouble quick. The only new
guys coming in that are good are the
Europeans. I have hired some guys
out of SAIT and Olds College but they
don’t work out. They can’t believe
how hard the work is and what is
expected. They are used to getting a
box of meat they have to slice into
steaks, they can’t start with a carcass
and get to an end product.
“When we started there were over
100 red meat plants in the province,
now there are less than 50. If you
were to rebuild now, the exit plan is
also not great. Nobody wants to buy a
meat plant. “In 4-H steer sale season, I become
an investigator. People say I can’t be
at the sale, but buy me
something. So I get some of
the damdest things, we
won’t have phone numbers
or names. We got one the
other day that said Century
21 bought it. How many
Century 21 offices are in
Calgary and is it the office
or a specific realtor? You
hope the people will call you
before the 21 days pass and
you are ready to cut. If they
don’t, you have to put your
investigator hat on and try
to figure it out.
“This year I had one from
25
the Carstairs sale under a lady’s
name. 21 days came and I hadn’t
heard, 28 days came and still nothing.
So I called the parents of the kid that
sold the steer to see if they had a
number for this woman. They said
they didn’t even know who she was,
she just stepped in and bought the
steer. No clue at all who she was. So I
phoned the Carstairs District who
handled the sale to see if they could
help. They only had her name and
address and said she paid for the steer
that day and said to ship it to you. So
I googled her on the internet and this
name popped up for a woman who
worked for a company in Calgary. So
I phoned the company and she was on
holidays. They got a message to her
and she called and said she had
forgotten about it. We were at 35 days
at this point. She said I’ll get back to
you in a day or so because I’m
splitting it with a couple of friends. I
told her I needed to know now. It’s
just one of those things.
“We do 120 plus 4-H steers each
year. There aren’t many places you
can take steers to process. I never
slaughter a 4-H calf the day after a
sale. I bring them home and rehydrate
them. I put up some barley green feed
so those calves can come and get
refilled. They need to rest for three
days so you don’t get dark cutters.
The worst thing about 4-H is
everybody works hard with their calf
for two or three days before the sale.
Some of them haven’t eaten or drank
well because they have been worked
hard and hauled around by some kid.
So then it goes to town and doesn’t
like the chlorine water, so they
haven’t drank well. When we put
them in the pen, they will play
around for a while then they lay
down. They’ll do nothing but lay
around for two days. Then we just
walk them up the hill with no stress
for processing.
“When we do custom work, the
animals are all penned individually
and I have people bring them the day
before. I never do them off the trailer.
“I don’t do many bison anymore
because the price is so high on the
rail. Everytime you have a price
increase you lose a portion of the
market. The bison market grew
quickly because breeders were
dumping cheap animals on the
market when many of the breeders
were getting out of the business.
Initially the price of bison meat was
cheap. Health conscious people liked
it. As the price rose, you found out
who was willing to pay for what they
perceived as health conscious food.
“We don’t do any wild game. At
our facility everything is inspected. I
only do inspected meat, so the
regulations make it impossible. You
have to have separate coolers and it
just isn’t worth it. I do farmed game,
but there isn’t much of that around
anymore either. Mostly it is a means
of dispersing a herd.”
April works in Balzac Meats
handling all of their cooked meats and
sausage products. Rod is the
guy upfront marketing that makes it
all happen.
“We do some lambs, but not many.
I used to do some specialty high-end
restaurants, but I can’t compete with
the big guys for price. The margin is
just not there, I have to have full retail
on my product because I can only do
so much. I have to focus on what I can
do right. I worry about quality not
quantity. That’s the whole key, it’s just
like what we do in our cattle.
“We worry about quality not
quantity in our herd. We bred 25 this
year, but we did some embryo work
for the very first time. We just want to
Colby McLeod and his champion steer at the 2009 Calgary Stampede Steer Show
26
Charolais Banner • October 2012
get some more replacement females. We just want 25-30 of the
best ones. The whole reason we are doing the transplanting is for
females. We put in 28 embryos this spring.”
In the early years of their marriage, April competed with
Quarter Horses in Western Pleasure. She had a horse ranked Top
3 in the World in Amateur All Round and achieved the Super
Horse Award once. She showed horses for 17 years, but as time
became more taxed with kids and the meat plant, the herd started
to dwindle. Megan still shows the 14 year old gelding locally, but only if
there isn’t a cattle show. She started with her first heifer at age
five and never showed horses until she was thirteen. Colby never
did show interest in the horse side of showing, he much preferred
dirt bikes.
“We have a family herd. The kids sold all of the bulls this
spring. I only owned one, they owned the rest. It will go towards
their education.
“The herd all started with the kids’ 4-H calves. We bought
Target PLD Ginny 40P from Palmers and she was Colby’s first 4-H
project. Every year they expanded to more projects and that is
what the whole herd is built around. “Megan wasn’t old enough for 4-H that year, but Grandma and
Grandpa gave her MF Emily 303N and that started her herd.”
It is interesting that the kids first two females have turned out
to be exceptional foundation females. They were the start of the
cow families that have produced all the high dollar champion
animals in the last few years.
“They’ve learned a lot of things and they have met a lot of
people. It has given them the exposure to let people know they
have the cattle. For new breeders coming in, the exposure is more
important because other people don’t know what you are doing.
You can buy them and take them home, but if people don’t know
what you have, they won’t come looking to buy.
“The show ring has worked for us. It has made us be more
critical of our own cattle, especially when we have to compete
against all other breeds. In the most recent years, our kids have
carried the Charolais torch at the all breeds shows in Alberta.
There have been a few others show up here and there, but ours
have been to all of them. It makes you aware of what is required
to compete at that level.
“Colby learned more in 2009 when he had the silver steer that
was champion steer at numerous junior shows and was the
champion steer at the Calgary Stampede Steer Classic. It was the
year it really started for him, where he wanted to be at that level.
He got recognition and acceptance from other people by doing it
himself. He won with that silver steer lots that spring. Then the
Angus World Forum was in Calgary that year. He went from
being hired as a shitline boy to being hired by people at the top of
their game in other breeds. He learned more from the fitters that
Hamilton Farms brought up for the Forum and that took him
another step. When he went to Denver with Encore this spring,
the new owners brought him to Denver to talk about the bull and
help handle promotion. Then they found out he had fitting skills.
At the end of Denver, they gave him a plane ticket to Fort Worth
and left the other fitters at home.
“Megan is going into grade eleven and she is the student of the
bunch. She has a lot of friends in the all-breeds functions. She has
been able to be competitive with Charolais cattle at these events
including having exhibited the Supreme Champion Female at the
Megan McLeod and her Supreme Champion Female at the
2011 Farmfair International All Breeds Junior Show
Colby won Intermediate Oral Reason, Steer Judging and Reserve Team Grooming at CCYA 2008

“Learning about the business
through the meat market has changed
my views about cattle somewhat. As
you get into the business and raise,
feed and slaughter your own cattle,
you learn more. Number one – the
Charolais business has to concentrate
on getting to a certain growth stage
fast. It’s not about how big they get, it’s
how fast they get there. They have to
have early maturity. It’s no different
than my feeding program, they have
to be finished in 13 or 15 months. I am
not in a grassfed situation.
“The Association is there to
facilitate the registry and programs.
The breeders have to direct the
association. You can’t hire a fieldman
to represent the breed the way the
breeders can do it themselves. The
association can offer the tools, but the
breeders have to drive it.
“The show ring is important as a
Purebred Charolais
promotional tool and to compare
genetics. I tell my kids to be the most
critical of their own cattle, don’t
worry about being critical of others.
Analyze other genetics and select the
ones that can complement your
program. Be critical of your own cattle
and recognize their faults. If you
make a mistake when selecting an
animal, just admit you made a
mistake and dispose of the animal, the
first loss is the cheapest one. Don’t try
to sell it to someone else, that’s why
we have slaughter plants!”
Work is something Rod is not afraid
of and keeping up to him would be a
problem for many people. Besides his
kids’ activities, the meat plant and
their purebred herd, Rod is also still
very involved in helping other people
market their cattle. Working as a
ringman at many sales throughout
the year in many breeds, keeps his
fingers on the pulse of the entire
purebred industry.
Beef is the business the McLeods
are in, whether it is on your fork or in
the show ring. Quality is their
trademark. Even McLean’s Magazine
found the product exceptional. Food
critic Jacob Richler couldn’t find a
good steak at Calgary Stampede time
and complained they were all wetaged, waterlogged and mushy. When
he went back to Toronto he started
phoning packing plants to prove this
wasn’t the case everywhere in Alberta.
“Eventually I found the gold mine:
Balzac Meat Processing, where owner
Rod McLeod dry-ages steers – the
best, most space-extravagant method
known to man. He hangs the
carcasses for 28 to 40 days.
Shockingly, 90 per cent is snapped up
by private consumers.”
It’s really not a shock, quality is
what people seek. It is what keeps
them coming back to Balzac Meats
and back to McLeod Livestock for a
superior product.

HERD HEALTH
Health Preparedness for
Cattle Shows
Roy Lewis DVM
There seems to
be a fair number
of show cattle which get varying
degrees of sickness in the show
season. Being prepared to monitor
and treat these individuals in the
initial stages of disease will minimize
any problems. You can even have the
fortitude to help fellow showmen in
the process. This is critical to the well
being of all the cattle at the shows as
they are always in close confinement
to each other and are under stress.
In the last few days before the show
make sure the tack box has the
various health essentials you may
need. This would include several
thermometers to measure daily
temperatures. It is important in my
mind to record daily temperatures of
each show animal. Record these as
they will give what the absolute
normal range is for each one. There
is enough normal variation that
some may fluctuate around low
normal temperatures and some high
normal temperatures. This is very
much worth knowing when the
temperatures start to rise outside
the normal range for that animal.
Carry the regular arsenal of
antibiotics and anti-inflammatory you
are familiar with on your ranch
complete with the range of syringe
and needle sizes you may need.
Taking your cattle to a show is a
very good example of a completely
open herd where they will be exposed
to a myriad of things. They need to be
vaccinated for the common
respiratory pathogens and those
which could cause abortions like IBR
and BVD. Some breeders will give
intranasal IBR just before going to a
show. If you can get this vaccine it
does have good merit as it is not
harmful plus it quickly causes the
production of interferon in the body a
non-specific fighter of viral infection.
Long acting metaphylactic antibiotics
may be given. Discuss this with your
herd veterinarian before coming to the
show. Check each show’s health
protocol as these have been well
thought out and it is advisable to
follow them closely.
Even with quiet cattle there is
quite a stress component to shows.
From the water being different, to
damp environments of the wash
racks and drafts in the show barns,
it is really not surprising some cattle
get sick. Normal incubations for
disease are about seven days so also
closely observe your cattle for some
time (week to ten days) after
returning home.
Some showmen will flavor the
water for a couple of days with
something like flavored Jell-O. City or
town water will be chlorinated
and this most certainly may turn them
off for a couple of days. Others filter
the water before giving it. Since
individual animals are watered and
fed separately monitoring individual
water and feed consumption should
be easy; try to stay on as regular a
schedule as possible for feed and
water to minimize digestive
outbreaks. Varying types of probiotics
or ruminant stimulant boluses may
assist you if inappetance becomes a
problem. Diet should be cut back as
stressed, worried cattle get looser,
so some dry hay should minimize
runny manure.
Larger shows, like Farmfair, often
have a veterinarian present who can
address major needs such as injured,
extremely sick or off feed cattle. They
may even attend to lumps and bumps
or mystery ailments that crop up from
time to time. Their main concern is the
Charolais Banner • October 2012
overall health of the cattle at the
show. This is of major concern if any
contagious, infectious diseases
develop. Biosecurity between show
animals is watched, as is the zoonotic
potential for spread to and from the
viewing public.
You want to be able to show your
animals to their maximum potential; if
they are droopy and lethargic that
won’t happen, so monitor their health
closely. If you are concerned they are
incubating a disease like pneumonia
in the best interest of your fellow
competitors don’t bring them. If they
are already at the show inform the
show veterinarian and discuss
whether they should be totally
removed from the premises where
convalescing at home would be far
less stressful.
It is far better to treat early than
wait because you are worried about
an injectable antibiotic causing a
noticeable lump or bruise. We as
veterinarians wish no show cattle ill
health, but with all the stresses and
close proximity to others it is
inevitable. Being prepared will give
you the head start you need for a
favorable outcome. Don’t hesitate to
call for help early and only follow
sound advice. There are many
concoctions and remedies out there,
which not only lack sound medical
principals, producers are often using
products not approved for cattle and
may be harmful. This goes against
Beef Quality Assurance guidelines
and sets a poor example of how beef
is raised in Canada. Most products are
approved for cattle so use these rather
than jeopardizing your reputation as a
seed stock provider to our commercial
industry. Have a successful and
fulfilling show season.

Canadian Charolais Youth Conference & Show 2012
“Rocky Mountain Memories”

Sparrow, President, Vanscoy, SK
The Annual Canadian Charolais
Youth Conference and Show was held
in Olds, Alberta, this year and was
sure to follow its theme by making
“Rocky Mountain Memories”.
The weather was great, everyone
was fed well and new friendships
were made. This conference saw some
new participants that left talking
about attending next year’s conference
in Shelburne, Ontario. This is always a
good sign and a reason to commend
the organizing committee and their
many volunteers.
This year the date was changed to
coincide with the Summer Synergy
competition held in conjunction with
the Calgary Stampede. Although it
may have been the reason some
regulars missed the event, it also
added great opportunities for some
youth who would not travel to
Alberta twice to take advantage of the
event. Scholarships were awarded to
six CCYA members and three
members won divisions.
When the week was over, the
consensus was positive as it cut the
conference costs while adding
benefits. Who can argue with that?
The week started with a
the organizers and judges.
HEJ Charolais, Henrik and Jeralyn
Rasmussen, Innisfail, hosted the Keep
and Cull event at their farm. The
Rasmussens have been supporters of
CCYA for many years and Jeralyn is a
past CCYA Honouree recipient.
McLeod Livestock, Rod and April
McLeod sponsored the steaks that
were enjoyed by all. The evening
ended with a water fight, that always
seems to erupt when you get a hot
summer day and a bunch of kids
together. The fun just doesn’t stop.
Two past CCYA Alumni served as
Barn Bosses for the event. Ben Farrant
and Marina Rasmussen did a great job
keeping things going and having
cattle ready for each competition. It is
often a thankless but oh so necessary
task and their efforts and dedication
to the program need to be
commended.
At the banquet, Luke Marshall,
CCYA National Board member
presented Leisa Gallelli with the
CCYA Honouree Award for the year.
Leisa has supported her sons’
participation in the event for years
and took on the onerous task of
heading the event this year. Thanks
for a job well done.
The National Board was faced with
the difficult task of replacing their Coordinator this year as Katrina
Coughlin gave them notice of her
presentation by Jennifer Woods, of
Blackie on cattle handling. Jennifer
studied under Temple Grandin and
her presentation offered something
for each of the wide variance in ages
of the youth. She even had parents
pulling up to listen as her knowledge
was appreciated and respected.
The opening mixer, a highlight for
many of the participants, was once
again messy, wet and filled with
enthusiasm. The barrier breaker puts
all of the kids on even ground to start
the week and gets
them focused on fun
and friendship. For
newcomers, it
immediately makes
them feel like part of
the group.
The number of
participants was
down a bit this year,
but the enthusiasm
wasn’t. It made the
event less pressured
time wise as there was
ample time for the
individual events.
Larger numbers can Michael Hunter accepted a cheque for $2005.35 from Chris Poley
and Mina Serhienko for the Charolais portion of the TBar
really put pressure on Invitational proceeds

resignation. Katrina has served the National Board as a participant
and became co-ordinator quite a few years ago. She has done a
terrific job and assisted the group in carrying out their many
programs. Katrina is studying to become a lawyer and will begin her
articling soon, making continuing in the Co-ordinator capacity too
much. Thanks Katrina for a great job, you have contributed to the
success of the organization.
Brandon Sparrow has been appointed as the new co-ordinator and
is anxious to continue working with the CCYA National Board.
Brandon is a Past President of the organization and has a great
understanding of the needs and requirements of the position. He is
so interested in CCYA, he even showed up at the Conference this
year to observe. Someone who misses the program and is prepared
to travel to watch, when not participating, certainly shows dedication
to the movement and will do a great job.
Next year’s conference is in Shelburne, Ontario, July 17-20. Start
planning now, I’m sure it will be a great event.
