25440 16th Ave, Aldergrove, BC V4W 2R7 PRESIDENT’S WELCOME: The last ten years have been tough ones on the cattle industry. Hereford breeders worked to keep a lid on input costs while selecting efficient genetics to meet the needs of our industry. While Herefords may not have changed coat color like some other breeds, they certainly have changed under the hide. We have the genetic trend data to show our breeders successfully focused on increasing early growth and milk while reducing birth weights and increasing calving ease. Before any Hereford breeder can register calves from a particular sire that bull must be parentage verified. Not only does this DNA test prove the pureness of the animal being tested but it helps ensure the integrity of our gene pool. Commercial breeders, who run multiple breeds, know how important this is to achieve maximum hybrid vigor when using Herefords in crossbreeding programs.

Hereford breeders are embracing new technology which bring new tools to compliment the old fashioned scale and eye ball as we continue to make selections which will strengthen our breed. For the past three years, BC Hereford breeders have participated in the Genomics Canada Project where Hereford breeders from across Canada have measured the feed efficiency of 1000 Hereford bull calves. The BC bulls have some of the highest weight per day gains on test.

Other breeders from our province have recently competed successfully at the National Hereford Shows bringing home the Championship banners.

Whether you run straight bred Herefords or use Herefords in a crossbreeding program, we hope you will contact one of our BC Hereford breeders listed in this directory when you are looking for a new herd sire or replacement females. We also hope you find some other useful information and facts in our first Directory & Handbook.

A big thank-you to all those breeders who have supported Herefords in the past and we welcome enquiries from those who want to introduce Hereford blood to their herd. It is no secret the Hereford breed is a cornerstone breed and it should be no secret Hereford breeders in BC are striving to make the Hereford breed an even more efficient and excellent choice for our commercial industry.

All-Trace Trace Element Boluses Delivering trace element requirements for mother and calf at the right time.

Contact your veterinarian for more information on All-Trace.

The Benefits of Trace Element Supplementation Many areas of British Columbia are known to be deficient in trace elements and proper supplementation is important. The benefits of trace element supplementation can include: • Optimized growth rates • Easier, cleaner calving’s • Optimized conception rates • Improved milk production • Strong, healthy calves • Reduced calving spread Whether it is milk production, reproductive performance, or efficiency of gain, modern production systems seek to get the very most out of cattle. For these systems, managing trace element supplementation can be a key factor in herd health and performance during critical periods of the production cycle. Critical production periods in BC Beef herds can include cows & heifers 8-10 weeks pre-calving, breeding time, AI or ET programs and summer grazing and/or wintered on range where oral supplementation is not available.

TRACE ELEMENT BOLUSES FOR CATTLE Provide an alternative to daily oral supplementation

All-Trace® for Cattle boluses are designed to provide to adult cattle that proportion of their dietary requirement of six trace elements not adequately supplied by grass or forage based diets. The boluses lie in the reticulum at the forward base of the rumen and slowly dissolve from a constant surface area, thus providing a continuous supply of trace elements to the animal for approximately eight (8) months. The boluses dissolve completely, leaving no residue in the rumen and supplement the 6 trace minerals (copper, cobalt, selenium, zinc, manganese and iodine) commonly deficient in pastured cattle. Use this product as an aid in restoring normal liver copper levels in adult cattle on copper-deficient pastures and as an aid in restoring selenium levels in adult cattle on selenium-deficient pastures. Administer orally two (2) whole, undamaged All-Trace for Cattle boluses per animal. Administer at the beginning of the pasture season or prior to a critical production period when oral supplement may not be possible. The active life of the bolus is 8 months.

ASSURED SUPPLY. Variation of intake is a major issue with free access supplementation, and the All-Trace速 for Cattle sustained release bolus eliminates that concern. Not only does it provide the daily dose of trace elements that cattle need, it also meters out that dose so that animals are receiving supplementation every minute of every day of the active life of the product.

LABOUR SAVINGS. Once administered, All-Trace速 for Cattle boluses save the time and cost put into daily feeding or checking the availability of free access products. No need to move oral supplements each time you rotate pastures.

COST EFFECTIVE. Unlike free access supplements, there is no wastage with the All -Trace速 for Cattle bolus. Costs compare favourably with other forms of supplementation.

Testimonials: ***

***The Richardson Ranch pastures are severely deficient in Selenium and Copper as well as being borderline in Zinc. We have used the All Trace Bolus for the last three years to augment our herd health program. We believe it has increased our conception rate and decreased dramatically our early embryonic death loss. This is a must have product if you are flushing cows or asking your herd to be at their highest possible level of reproductive performance.

Tattooing Procedures

Tattooing has been adopted by the Canadian beef breed associations as the standard for identifying animals in their client’s herds, as it is the most satisfactory method for permanent individual marking. When done correctly, a tattoo is permanent and not easily changed without disfiguring the animal. Many breed associations have adopted a system for tattooing that results in a unique ID for each animal. Each herd is assigned a two-to-four- letter code, each year is assigned a letter and each animal within a year is given a number. For example, the tattoo APSF 18X would identify, within herd APSF, the 18th animal born in 2010. Many commercial beef producers have adopted the same ID system simply displayed to our on ear tags to maintain unique ID for withinWe appreciate being part of your genetic programs. and across-herd perforThank you for choosing our team to export your mance evaluations. genetics to Russia, China and around the world.

The letters I, O, Q, & V are not used because they are too hard to distinguish from one, zero, and U. The 22 letters used repeat every 22 years so the last APSF 18X was born in 1988 and the next one will be born in 2042!

Good tattoos are easy to apply if you follow these simple directions:

1.

Good restraint is essential for both a quality tattoo and for safety reasons. I do all my calves in a head gate but even if you do newborns, a second set of hands or some form of physical restraint such as a halter or calf crate is needed.

2.

Set up your desired tattoo in your pliers and test on a piece of cardboard to make sure you have everything in the correct sequence. I have two pliers, one has my herd letters, the other is the animal number and year letter which I change between animals.

Put on a pair of disposable exam gloves which will cost you less than 25 cents!

4.

Apply tattoo ink paste on the ends of the needles in the tattoo plier using a Q-tip; ink each number and letter liberally. (I prefer the ink paste which is messier than the roll-on ink but I find it more effective).

5.

Clean the ear of all wax and contaminants using an alcohol wipe or a wet wipe. Wax will interfere with the ink entering the holes made by the tattoo needles! Contaminants like manure will cause your tattoo to become infected which will render your tattoo illegible.

6.

Apply two strips of ink, one strip above and one strip below the major cartilage rib which runs out across the inside of the calf’s ear. Use the upper strip for your herd letters and the lower strip for the number and year letter.

7.

Carefully place the pliers on the ear so the inked needles travel through your upper ink strip and into the correct part of the ear. Squeeze hard, until your heels come off the ground!

Change from herd letters to animal number and letter for the second strip. Again, press really hard. Remove the pliers and immediately use your gloved thumb to rub very firmly across the ink covered holes made by the tattoo needles. Keep your fingers behind the ear and literally grind the ink into the holes created by the tattoo needles with your thumb. If the holes bleed keep forcing the ink into the holes until no bleeding is evident.

You must get ink into the wounds to create a lasting tattoo. It takes a minute or more to make a great tattoo.

8.

Rinse your tattoo equipment with alcohol before moving to the next animal.

9.

After several weeks, the ink will dry and flake out of the ear, leaving a legible tattoo and a permanent means of identification.

THE (Total Herd Evaluation) is a complete-herd reporting system to evaluate performance traits.

Breeders will be recognized based on an All - Star scoring system 3 Star Breeders - report CE, BW, WW 4 Star Breeders - report CE, BW, WW plus one additional trait 5 Star Breeders - report CE, BW, WW, plus two additional traits. Additional traits include yearling weights, scrotal circumference, mature cow weights, BCS (body condition score) & ultrasound data

Artificial Insemination and basic estrous synchronization To breed all cows by AI requires 21 days of heat detection to find all the cows in your herd

when they are in standing heat. Ideally, I like to breed just as the cow is going out of standing heat but if I am unable to observe the cows 3 or 4 times a day then I use the AM/PM rule, so if I discover a cow standing in the AM I will breed her in the PM whereas if I find a cow in standing heat in the evening I will breed her the following morning.

By simply using the following method of observe and breed for 5 days, then giving one injection of prostaglandin to those not bred we can reduce our heat detection to 10 days Day1  Observe and breed to standing heat for 5 days then inject a prostaglandin (PG) to all cows not bred  Observe and breed to standing heat for 5 more days By giving two estrumate injections we can reduce our heat detection time to five days Day 1 (Prostaglandin) Day 11(Repeat the PG) observe, breed to standing heat for 5 days

By using a combination of drugs we can eliminate heat detection entirely and simply use a timed AI program. Because heifers respond slightly different than mature cows we have two preferred protocols listed here. Check with your veterinarian to make sure you understand the requirements and doses required when you purchase the drugs needed for any of these four programs listed above.

Drugs required from your Veterinarian Prostaglandins (PG) ; Estrumate, Lutalyse or Juramate Progesterone ; CIDR (control intravaginal drug release) Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) ; Cystorelin, Factrel or Fertiline Don Richardson, DVM

Beef Cattle Vaccines : The following charts list those available for use in Canada as of December 2014. Please use this information to help develop a herd health program which fits your needs. Consult with your veterinarian to find the product most beneficial for your herd.

Remember that these vaccines all have a withdrawal period before the animal may be slaughtered for human consumption and many should not be given to pregnant cattle. READ THE LABEL !

Page 46

Vaccines help prevent diseases when used correctly!

Proper lasting immunization often requires a booster !

Many vaccines are live biologicals and all must be stored and handled as directed by the manufacturer in order to be effective.

READ THE LABEL !

Page 47

Vaccines work best if given 2 weeks prior to the stress of trucking, weaning or even calving in the case of scour vaccines given to mother cows! READ THE LABEL !

These kind of Hereford females are the foundation of the growing Copper Creek Ranch herd.

We are located in the southern interior of British Columbia in oldtime ranching country. Cows graze on mountain pastures in semi-arid conditions. On this operation, we balance powerful purebred females and bulls and worldwide markets, with commercial herd operations and these herds are managed together, in the same environment. We ask a lot of our cows.

Our breeding program uses common sense coupled with the best tools in the industry to breed functional cattle with performance, “do-ability” and longevity.

Calving Ease is a priority. So are good feet and udders.

Copper Creek Ranch proudly supports Canadian Junior Hereford Association programs
