I feel a bit like an old man wondering where the time has gone as I sit here putting this column together. It seems like just yesterday we started this adventure, and now here we are entering round two — our second year. Candice and I are beyond excited about the places we’ve been, the cattle we’ve seen, and the wonderful people we’ve met along the way. We’re truly grateful for the great crew riding shotgun with us and for all the producers who have been part of the journey.
What an incredible fall show run it was. From coast to coast, the Charolais breed was well represented and well respected. With the calendar overlap, we didn’t make it to as many shows as last year, but that doesn’t change

The Foundation of Genetic Progress: Why True and Accurate Data Matters
In beef cattle genetics, progress is never accidental. Every meaningful improvement in calving ease, growth, carcass merit, fertility, or longevity is built on one thing: true and accurate data. Without it, even the most wellintentioned breeding program is simply guessing.
Genetic evaluation is, at its core, a evaluated in isolation—they are compared to their contemporaries and to the population as a whole. Performance records such as birth weight, weaning weight, yearling weight, ultrasound data, and reproductive outcomes feed into genetic prediction models that generate EPDs and indexes. These tools only work when the information data does not “average out”; it actively distorts results.
When data is misreported—whether intentionally or unintentionally— the consequences ripple far beyond
weights, incorrect birth dates, unreported assists, or selective data submission create biased benchmarks. This leads to over- or under-estimated EPDs, misranking of cattle, and
Over time, this slows genetic progress

improves predictability. The value of an EPD is not just its number, but its ability to predict real-world performance. High-quality, complete records increase EPD accuracy, reducing risk for both seedstock and commercial producers.

Minimizing the Calf Hood Conditions, Scours, Pneumonia and Navel Infection
experienced cattlemen will have seen an increased incidence of one of the three main calfhood diseases that we see on ranches across western Canada. These can be smouldering problems which can even occur year after year. I have spent many a time over my career discussing, of course, initially the treatment for these conditions and then ideally working on a preventative strategy. Initially, it might start with getting isolation of pneumonia or navel infection. From there, examination of more than one case and an on farm herd visit may help your veterinarian help you determine the main source of infection.
On herd visits, questions involving everything from nutrition, body condition score, and vigour of calves to suck and get colostrum are looked at. With these three diseases, there are a lot of common denominators, such as how quickly colostrum is uptaken, and I know you have heard this many times before, but if in doubt, tube calves with colostrum if there is an

because the lack of consumption may calfhood diseases. If not isolated,
especially when it comes to scours.
If you are having repeat cases, I think it is wise to have your veterinarian do a visit and walk through what happens leading up to calving and where the calving grounds are and how the pairs are kept until being part of a large group again. It is in this interim where we get these diseases starting. Of course,

on many faces. From vaccination of the cows for scours prevention, as well as the respiratory (mainly
Vaccination can be one of the best forms of biosecurity, and although it won't eliminate all scours or pneumonia cases, it will eliminate some and decrease the severity of others. I would not go without either of these preventative programs. The larger the number of cows, to me the more critical these preventions become. Other biosecurity measures, including starting with a clean calving ground, preferably one cleaned from the previous year and left to dessicate and dry in the sun. Keeping yourself clean, boot dips where appropriate and keeping things like calf carts or sleds, calf pullers, calving equipment, maternity pens cleaned and disinfected will go a long way to cutting down the calves' exposure to infectious organisms at or
around birth.
Roy Lewis, DVM
I am a real believer in lots of bedding as well as creep sheds where the newborn calves can avoid the cold and stressors of the adult cattle. We know calves love these creep areas, but how soon newborn calves can all be found in them during a snow storm as an example. Calves stay warm, dry, and essentially pretty stress free. This is all conducive to avoiding contracting disease in general. It is always important to not get the calving barn temperature too high. Just above freezing, essentially fridge temperature if possible, will not allow infectious organisms multiply in the environment. Don’t have the exact answer to this, but experiment with disposal. Totally cleaning the pen daily may not be as good as adding lots of bedding and getting a bedding pack started. Experiment and see what works best for your operation.
With navel infection, one must think about what the navel touching right after birth. I am not a huge fan of handling or spraying navels just because I used to have more trouble with producers using an irritating product and doing more harm than prone to navel infection because the body.
To reduce any of these diseases requires investigative veterinary medicine, and often there is not one easy solution, but several little improvements could decrease the clinical cases and that is time and potentially some money may eliminate future cases, preventing more spread to others and minimizing treatment costs,

How To Make Chores Easier
Today in my essay I will talk about how to make chores easier for us. There are many things that would be helpful in our busy life and I think my idea would be pretty nice to have. One thing that we have a hard time getting to is exercising our show cows consistently and for a good length of time each day. We never seem to

head of cattle, adjustable lead bars, depending on your needs. The machine would be a self-driving, ground driven, so all you would have to do is tie the cattle to it on the lead bars. Light weight guide bars could be dropped down beside each animal as well. It would then work similar to a vehicle in self-driving mode that it would navigate the walking path on its own. The machine would have a solar panel to charge the battery as well as a charging port. The speed could be adjustable as well depending on how fast you would like your cattle to walk, length of walk and time could also be programmed in as well. This machine would save space in your yard and there is no set up time. If an owner had enough hauling space they may choose to bring the walker with them on the road as the walker is fairly light weight.

If I were to use AI to make something to make chores easier: The Hoverfeeder

One of my least favourite things about chores is mixing the feed, depends what type on feed you have but some of ours is a bit dusty, it hurts my lungs. To solve this problem, I would add a scooper duper arm, this is an extendable pole (not the cheap the end that will scoop your pails for
direct the hovercraft to where the feed is stored, guide the arm in the bag and it will memorize the bag until you move the hovercraft.
It has a removeable tablet on the side of the base, there is also a solar panel that helps to keep the battery charged, as well as a portable charger that can be plugged into an outlet. The tablet stores all the feeding information, prices of feed, number of head in the pen, scales amounts, days on feed etc. Lastly the hoverfeeder does not just carry your feed, weigh your feed, price your feed, scoop your feed, it can also organize your cow herd. The removable tablet can be used to track other ranch activities, do cattle searches on the Canadian Charolais Registry search and use connect with other apps.
I think that the hoverfeeder would be a great tool to have to help make feeding easier but also help to track my growing cow herd.

I am Paisley
here to sell you the best new invention to make chore time easier. I have the best idea in the world, an automatic silage feeder, that will move silage from the pile to the pens without having to use a tractor. It will be the best idea for winter as you don’t need to go outside to feed your cows.
press a button and then all of your cows are fed. It is a fancy conveyor that runs from the silage pile to the cattle pen and then feeds along the bunk. This saves you from having to start tractors, or go outside when it’s cold. The conveyor works well in the cold weather, hot weather, and rain and even snow. To set up and order you just send in the length of the pen as well length to the silage

The conveyor moves into the silage pit automatically. The system also includes a mixing bin and storage for wet and dry storage tanks for grain, mineral, and liquid feed supplements.
