The Maine Mail

Winter 2014 Reports President’s Report The Winter Edition of the Maine Mail is here again. Hard to believe we have been viewing this beautiful publication for five years already!

Calving season is upon us and bull sale season is right around the corner. The Maine Mail continues to be a great resource for our producers to advertise in a creative forum to help get your seedstock marketed.

There were some changes in our office staff in December. Lois Chivillo has taken a full time position at the Canadian Charolais office and we thank her for her dedication to our breed and its members. We now welcome Shauna Bushfield, our new office manager. Shauna is a warm and inviting employee that is great to visit with and I am sure will be very competent at looking after your questions & needs.

As an association, we have been moving forward with some projects and have stalled with some others.

We will be moving forward with SNP technologies - thanks to some hard work by director John Hanbidge discovering some grant money to help fund this project. Our EPD project has been a little harder to get put together. Trouble communicating with ABRI and the logistics involved have made this process slower then we had hoped.

Please join us this summer for our Annual General Meeting hosted by the MB Association Aug. 8-10. It is always a great weekend filled with fellowship, good food and great cattle!

Our entire board has been a pleasure to work with in 2013 and we look forward to big things in 2014. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me.

Mainely yours, Scott McCormack, CMAA President

OFFICE MAnager’s Report Hello Maine-Anjou breeders, my name is Shauna Bushfield and I am your new Canadian Maine-Anjou Office Manager.

For the last 19 years I have been working with my husband on the farm, where we have Black Angus Cattle and Commercial Black Baldies, as well as working in the City full-time. I am looking forward to being here and helping with the herd growth and prosperity.

I look forward to helping you and getting to know each and every one of you. Thank you for all your warm welcomes Shauna Bushfield, CMAA Office Manager

Thank You to Lois Chivilo

Alberta Association News submitted by Kevin Shuckburgh What a great fall for Maine Breeders in Alberta! Bumper crops, high cattle Prices, and an increased interest in Maine cattle made for a great fall. Congratulations to all of the exhibitors at Farmfair for making it our largest show in years. Maines were well represented and had a great show. Thanks to all of our sponsors, the marshalling, ring, and ribbon crew from the Alberta Junior Maine Anjou association, and everyone else who volunteered to make the show a success.

It was a real pleasure to attend both the Brothers From Different Mothers, and Maine Way sales. Both were fun events where we were able to enjoy the top notch hospitality and see great representations of what our breed has to offer. It was awesome to see so many people come out to support the sales.

Many of you will will have received the 2014 calendar from the Alberta association. We hope you enjoy it.

The cover picture says it all. We built the calendar as a promotion of Maine anjou cattle to raise funds for 4-H awards, Junior Association, and breed promotion. If you enjoyed the calendar and would like to be a part of it in 2015 feel free to contact any of the Alberta board members. Both monthly pages and business card spaces will be available to everyone across Canada. If you would like to purchase additional 2014 calendars they are available for $15 by contacting Craig Cameron @ (780)387-6307 or craig.cameron14@gmail.com. A big thanks to Bryan Zimmer, Craig Cameron, and Miriam Cameron for their work on this project.

Just a reminder that Alberta memberships are due.

Your annual membership includes a spot on the Alberta Maine Anjou website directory and the ability to place advertising in the classified section. If you have not yet received your membership application and would like to be a member, contact Melanie Barkley at mbarkley@ ualberta.ca. Check out the website online at albertamaine-anjou.com.

It’s never easy to say good bye to someone like Lois Chivallo who did such a great job and had such a positive impact on running the Canadian office. Thank you for the professional manner in which you represented our breed and it’s members. We wish you the best in your future endeavours. We would like to welcome Shauna Bushfield as our new Canadian office Manager.

Wishing everyone a great calving season!

Edgar Leonard Walker - 1931 - 2013 Edgar Leonard Walker passed away on December 18, 2013 at the Neepawa Health Centre at the age of 82 years. He was born on March 25, 1931, son of John and Caroline Walker.

Edgar started in the Maine-Anjou breed in 1992. CEE Farms was formed

by Edgar and his son Barry. He met many friends and formed life-long friendships. Maine-Anjou cattle were his true passion and Edgar enjoyed shows all across the country. Many hours were spent on the road with good friend Ross McBride driving to shows and sales.

In 2011, the cowherd was sold to Cam & Tracy Wood, Section 19 Cattle Co. where the CEE prefix will live on.

Douglas Test Station

submitted by Patrick Johnson

submitted by Doug Kerr

Manitoba Maine-Anjou handed out 4-H tokens again this year and by all reports had a successful year with there projects.

Wilkinson Maine Anjou had a production sale in Dec and had a good sale with many repeat buyers despite our frigid Manitoba weather.

Manitoba will be hosting two bull sales in the spring Wilkinson Maine-Anjou and the Douglas Bull Test Station with bulls from Doug Kerr and Ross Mcbride.

Manitoba was saddened by the loss of long time breeder Edgar Walker our thoughts go out to his family.

Manitoba will be hosting the AGM this summer more details will come later, but I would like to invite everyone to join us in AUG for a fun weekend.

On behalf of M anitoba Maine-Anjou I would like to wish everyone a happy new year and good bull sale season and calving season.

The 2013-14 season marks the 50th Anniversary of the Douglas Test Station. The year started with 133 bulls from 11 breeds. Six of these bulls are Maine-Anjou from Badgerhill Maine-Anjou and Ross McBride. I also have 3 bulls from commercial cows that are on test - because they are not registered they are not eligible for the sale but will be available by private treaty following the end of the test.

Test weights were taken Nov. 5 & 6, 2013. 84 day weights were recorded Jan. 29, 2014. The test station average for 132 bulls were ADG - 3.59 lbs and WPDA - 3.21 lbs.

Off-test weights will be taken Feb. 25 & 26, 2014 and ultrasound measurements done the week of Feb. 24.

Cattle In Motion will be broadcasting the sale live on the internet again this year. Videos of the bull will be done March 10 & 11 and available for viewing at www.cattleinmotion.com. In order to bid online, you must register with Cattle In Motion two days prior to the sale.

All bulls will be semen tested March 24 and the open house will be March 24 - April 4.

This year, there are 20 heifers on test from 4 consignors. Bulls and heifers will sell on April 5, 2014.

For more info, please contact the office at (204) 763-4696 or check out the website at www.manitobabulltest.com. The test station is open 7 days a week to visitors.

ontario Association News submitted by Megan Burnside 2013 was a eventful year within the Ontario Maine-Anjou Association, with lots of events and activities taking place!

• We were happy to host the CMAA’s Annual General Meeting and to have visitors from throughout the nation see the impressive herds and hospitality that our beautiful province has to offer. All are welcome to visit again very soon!

• Once again, the Maine-Anjou Show at the Lindsay Exhibition on September 20th, 2013 was a fantastic event! This year, we deemed this show to be our Provincial Show, and we were lucky to have the support of the fairboard in doing so. Like last year, we had a total of sixty-nine quality entries and were happy to welcome a total of fifteen exhibitors to this exhibition of tremendous cattle. Visitors and exhibitors from all across Ontario and Quebec enjoyed fellowship together and much support was shown through banner sponsorship and helping hands throughout the event. Our thanks to the Lindsay Exhibition for their ongoing support.

• Again this year, Maine breeders from Ontario worked together to ensure that the Ontario Maine-Anjou Association have a presence at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. A brand new information booth was created with impressive new banner-stand displays and several breeders committed to supporting this event through volunteering their time at the booth. We also had a strong group of Maine-Anjou and Maine-influence cattle compete in the National Junior Beef Heifer Show and the Queen’s Guineas youth events.

• We were proud to award 4-H members from across the province who exhibited project animals sired by a the

Maine-Anjou bull awards again this year, noting that much success was awarded these members at shows throughout the province as well.

• Perhaps the most anticipated addition to the Maine calendar in Ontario this year was the first annual Ontario Maine-Anjou Association Maine Event Online Sale. Our association worked closely with Cattle In Motion to produce a quality offering of fullblood, purebred, and percentage Maine animals. We were very pleased to call this new venture a success, with excellent results and animals being purchased into western Canada and several new herds across the province. We look forward to offering this sale again in 2014.

Ontario Maine-Anjou Association wishes to thank the following individuals for having purchased animals through the Maine Event sale.

Mr. Style Ziploc 19Z

How do you go from this?

I have had Maine-Anjou for over thirty years. Their easy temperament, good milking and mothering abilities has given me a core herd that is easily managed. I chose easy calving bulls, which combined with these good mothers produce good weaning weights. After the BSE crises, I started a finishing operation that I continue to this day.

Having a birth to finish operation gives me the unique opportunity to know the carcass yields of each animal. The large frame, well-muscled animals produce a premium carcass that is sought by the consumer. I do not use hormones to finish; I have always felt that with the good genetics of Maine-Anjou bulls the growth rate is not compromised. All four of my daughters have competed in 4-H and we have found that the Maine-Anjou steers and heifers are calm, finish well in the 200 days that they are given and compete well in the confirmation aspect of the competition.

To This?
