HC renews partnership with Dairy Farmers of Canada for cattle assessment services

Brantford , Ont. – Holstein Canada (HC) is pleased to announce a renewed partnership with Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) for delivering cattle assessment services to farms across Canada under the Animal Care module of proAction®.

DFC first contracted Holstein Canada in October 2016, and since then, Holstein Canada has been providing excellent cattle assessment services via their professional team of Assessors and Classifiers.

Cattle assessments are an important proAction requirement, involving an evaluation of a sample of cattle on every farm for body condition, hock, knee, neck and mobility scores. The resulting reports indicate where a farm is scoring well and where a farm may have an opportunity for improvement. The reports enable farms to track their progress and strive for excellence over time.

Highlights:

• Prices for standard cattle assessments will remain the same, at $125 herd visit fee and $7/animal assessed.

• Other specialty services include service in 6-months, 4-months or 30-days (with an applicable service fee).

• HC and DFC have made other improvements to the contract in areas such as assessor consistency and streamlining processes.

Cattle assessments provide important ind icators of cow comfort, while also offering assurance to consumers and customers that farmers prioritize animal care. Every step farmers take under proAction is a step towards dairy excellence. Canadian dairy farmers produce some of the best milk in the wo rld and our stringent standards are reflected in the consumer -facing Blue Cow logo. Partnering with DFC for cattle assessment services helps us maintain trust and transparency, and we look forward to continuing to work together.

FIELD SERVICE REPORT

ROLF VAN BENTHEM

Western Canada was well represented at the Royal in Toronto, as well as the expo in Madison. A record numbers of animals were exhibited for the 100th Anniversary of the Royal. Congratulations to all of the breeders and exhibitors who attended.

Holstein Canada recently launched a new podcast called “Connexxion”. It is available on Apple and Spotify. The podcast will cover topics such as registration, classification and genomics. Our English podcast hosts are Classifier Alex Mckay and Atlantic Field Rep Natasha McKillop. Many will have met Alex with a classification visit, and the two combined give for a good, down to earth discussion on the core Holstein Canada services. Be sure to give it a listen and let us know if there are any topics you would be interested in hearing.

come on farm, and visit at industry events creates a perfect opportunity to answer questions, talk about services and help resolve issues while also serving as a learning opportunity for both parties.

According to Toby Kleinsasser: The year seems to have flown by as we approach the holiday season! A lot has happened this past year, the main part being able to meet in person again. It has been great to see events so well attended! AGMS are coming up in January, so please plan to attend to get a full field service update.

A common question Toby has been hearing lately in the field regarding Dairytrace. “When can I use yellow tags vs. white tags for my animals?”

Any calves born on farm and destined for purposes other than dairy production may be identified with a white single RFID ear tag (outside of Quebec). Using this new single white RFID button tag in place of the yellow button tag is preferred as it keeps those animals within the DairyTrace program. If an animal on your farm loses a single white button tag, replace it with another white button tag to maintain traceability. Yellow beef tags remain an acceptable option but, it is expected that the allowable use of these tags on dairy farms will be phased out by September 1, 2023.

Wishing everyone a safe and blessed holiday season, and we hope to see everyone at the club AGMs in January!

Master Breeder reports were sent a few weeks ago, with the cows contributing with points and those likely to add more points.

Don’t forget, 2022 Master Breeders reveal will be on January 14th! Be sure to tune into this live event!

Classifiers will be in Alberta starting Jan 9th to the 20th. If you or someone you know needs a classification visit, and need to be added to the list, please give Toby Kleinsasser or the Holstein Canada office a call. Just a reminder, field service is available to all Holstein Canada members, as well as non members in hopes of creating future members. Having a field service rep

Pierre Boulet of Ferme Pierre Boulet Inc. (prefix Pierstein), Montmagny, QC, has been presented the Curtis Clark Achievement Award for 2022. His selection was announced on November 11th during the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto, ON, as the Royal celebrated the 100th year since its inception in 1922. Boulet is the 34th recipient of this award which was established by the Alberta Holstein Branch in 1988 to honour the late Curtis Clark of Acme Holsteins, a respected Alberta Holstein breeder, cowman and showman.

If the word “Passion” had a definition in the Holstein industry, underneath it would be the name Pierre Boulet. Pierre, 52, has been involved with dairy cattle all his life, growing up on his parents’ farm, Ferme Boulet Inc., Saint-Francois, QC. He started going to shows with his family when he was eight years old. At 16, he began buying and selling cattle. In 1993, he established his own Pierstein Holstein herd at Montmagny. That same year, he became an auctioneer and sold his first sale. Today, Pierre and his sister Johanne are partners in Les Encans Boulet Inc., the sales management company established by their father Alfred in 1986. Pierre’s expertise as an auctioneer and sales manager has led him to work and be involved in some of this country’s greatest sales. A man who never slows down, Pierre also operates a commercial dairy cattle business, selling hundreds of animals annually to customers.

In 1999, Pierre Boulet and Simon Lalande of Ferme Blondin, Saint-Placide, QC, created the Alliance Blondin-Pierstein, a partnership that existed until 2005. Together, they earned Premier Exhibitor five consecutive years at the Royal Winter Fair Holstein Show (1999-2003) and showed the Reserve Grand Champion cow in 2003.

Boulet has a keen eye for cattle. He loves the challenge of finding a young cow with potential and developing her to that next level. A talented and enthusiastic cowman and showman, he actively exhibits dairy cattle at local, regional, provincial, national and international shows. The hundreds of banners and

awards that fill the Pierstein farm office are a testament to his success. Pierre was just 32 years old when he won the Premier Breeder banner at the Royal Holstein Show in 2002. He was Holstein Premier Exhibitor at the Royal in 2005, 2006 and 2008. At World Dairy Expo’s Holstein Show, he was Premier Exhibitor in 2008 and Premier Breeder in 2010.

The first “breakthrough” show cow for Boulet was Howes BC Sassy (EX-2E-7*), a three-time Royal class winner, Royal Honourable Mention Grand Champion in 1995, and multiple All-Canadian and All-American in the 1990s, whose picture still graces the front of his barn. Soon more famous Holstein show cows would emerge under his ownership like Thrulane James Rose (EX-97-2E-5*), Royal Grand Champion in 2006, 2008 and 2009, twice Royal Supreme Champion, World Dairy Expo Grand and Supreme Champion in 2008, and World Dairy Expo Reserve Grand Champion in 2009; Ms Goldwyn Alana (EX-96-2E-18*), 2015 Royal Reserve Grand Champion; Pierstein Goldwyn Sunshine (EX-96-3E) and Pineland Goldwyn Tidbit (EX-91-8*), Reserve Intermediate Champions at the Royal in 2010 and 2011, respectively; and Beaverbrock Magic Petunia (Ex-96-2E-2*), 2003 and 2005 Royal Reserve Grand Champion. In 2017, Boulet owned the Intermediate Champion at the Royal’s Red & White Holstein Show, Greenlea A Care Red ETS (EX-95-3E). These, and many more animals, have helped Boulet to earn 111 All-Canadian Holstein nominations resulting in 21 All-Canadian, 23 Reserve and 24 Honourable Mention awards. He has had nine Breeder’s Herds nominated for All-Canadian, winning the All-Canadian title in 2003 and Reserve two other times. He has won six All-Canadian, one Reserve and five Honourable Mention awards in the All-Canadian Red & White contest. In addition, he has also earned many All-American and All-Quebec nominations and awards over the years. Boulet has achieved success in other dairy breeds as well, partnering on cows like JL Vincent Sapphira (EX-95-2E), Grand Champion Jersey at Quebec’s Supreme Dairy Show in 2018, and Intense Joel Ome ET (VG-87), Intermediate Champion at this year’s Royal Jersey Show. Other cows he has partnered on include Eloc Biver Rennie (EX-90), Grand Champion Brown Swiss at the Supreme Show and Reserve Intermediate Champion Brown Swiss at World Dairy Expo in 2019; and Musqie Yankee Carabelle (EX-91), Grand Champion Ayrshire at the Supreme Show in 2019.

Boulet’s first Excellent cow was Pierstein Starbuck Lilas (EX3E-3*) in 2001. He has since bred another 227 Excellent cows. Pierstein is the only herd in Canada to have developed three Excellent-97 Holsteins and the only herd to have had two animals classify Excellent-97 on the same day, achieving that with the earlier mentioned Thrulane James Rose, and Bruynland Storm Kendra (EX-97-3E-2*), another longtime show campaigner for Boulet. His third 97-point cow, the now 16 1/2-year-old Loyalyn Goldwyn June (EX-97-6E-5*), was a Royal class winner three times and named Holstein Canada “Cow of

Curtis Clark Achievement Award

the Year” in 2019. Boulet has also developed an additional five Excellent-96 Holsteins.

Boulet has been an Official Judge since 2005. He has judged major breed shows across Canada, as well as in the United States, Australia, France, Italy, Brazil, Ecuador, Argentina, Colombia and Mexico. He judged the Royal Holstein Show in 2017 and Royal Jersey Show in 2019, and at World Dairy Expo judged the Holsteins in 2022 and Red & Whites in 2021. He is a member of Holstein Canada’s and Holstein Quebec’s Show & Judging Committees. In 2021, he received the Donald Dubois Showmanship Award at Canada’s National Holstein Show.

Supporting Pierre in all his endeavours are his wife and partner, Katie Coates, and their five children: Carole-Anne, Sarah Maude, Charles, Madison and Katrina. Together as a family, they now

manage a Pierstein herd that numbers over 400 animals and also includes Jerseys, Ayrshires and Brown Swiss. The Curtis Clark Achievement Award is presented at the Royal to a Canadian dairy cattle exhibitor who is respected for his ability, sportsmanship and dedication. Former recipients of the award choose the winner. Pierre Boulet received a gold belt buckle as a personal keepsake of this honour. His name will also be engraved on the distinctive Clark trophy that bears a bronzed version of Curtis Clark’s hat.

With another 4H year well underway, the various clubs in our province are making new plans and setting new goals. Different responsibilities are also being assigned, as their own reports will show.

Congratulations to Larissa Slingerland who was given the honour of helping to hand out ribbons on the final day of the Holstein Show at the Royal Winter Fair.

Also, we look forward to once again awarding more post-secondary youth scholarships at the annual provincial meeting in February in Westlock.

JUDGING AND SHOW REPORT

Clarence Slingerland

We started off the show season in April with the long awaited National Convention in Saskatchewan. Throughout the summer, with full enthusiasm, all clubs had their club shows. Alberta Dairy Youth Show once again organized a busy few days for 54 youth in Rimbey. Twenty-four young people made the trip to Brandon for the Western Canadian Classic.

Alberta Holstein organized judging two judging schools. A Tier I was held in conjunction with Alberta Dairy Congress in Rimbey with Gary vander Post, from Saskatchewan, being the official.

Nico Bons, from the Netherlands, was the official at the Tier II judging school held in Red Deer as part of the Westerner Dairy Show. Much in depth discussion was held at the judging schools. Everyone’s concerns are valid! Also contributing to these discussions were the official judges present who had participated in the National Judging School in Ontario.
