Message from the Maritime Simmental Association

Dear Friends of Simmental: I want to welcome everyone to our 50th Anniversary of Simmentals in Canada.

This is a special year for the MSA and for the breed itself. There are so many stories that could be told about Simmen tals in the last 50 years all across Canada. Each individual has their own special story and fond memories at special Simmen tal events in their area. This is what makes this breed so great to be a part of! A long time ago, I was told that this was a special breed to belong to because of the people involved in it. That’s right, the PEOPLE! I soon found this to be true, the longer I was involved with the Simmental breed.

I wish you all the best in your annual Fundraising Auction! I have attended a few of these over the years and the support from the community is overwhelming. The people from the Maritimes are doing their part in helping make this a very worthy cause, and I am hoping this will continue into the future.

Who is the Friends of Canadian Simmental Foundation

The Friends of Canadian Simmental Foundation (FCSF) is a not-for-profit registered foundation dedicated to scholarship and educational support of youth in the business of agriculture and Simmental cattle. The Foundation is governed by a board of directors who are heavily involved in the Simmental industry and who have a vested interest in educating youth, developing leadership, and encouraging young people to be a part of the agriculture industry.

The Friends of Canadian Simmental Foundation belongs to all of those that had the vision to believe in bringing the Simmental breed to Canada, those that supported and have developed it over the past 50 years, and those that see the value it brings to the generations of the future.

Focus of the Friends of Canadian Simmental Foundation

Scholarships - The FCSF administers scholarships for youth who are involved in Canadian agriculture. Assisting in the development of youth with a focus on advancing their understanding of agriculture is a very important component of the FCSF.

The YCSA is one of the most progressive and dynamic agricultural youth organizations in Canada. It is open to anyone 25 years and under who then have the opportunity to participate in various activities across Canada. YCSA members learn important skills including public speaking, marketing and communications which develop strong and dynamic leaders for not only our industry, but society as a whole.

What the Friends of Canadian Simmental Foundation is doing

FSCF Scholarships

The Friends of Canadian Simmental Foundation is honored to administer 3 exciting post-secondary scholarships.

The Friends of Canadian Simmental Foundation recognizes the importance of supporting youth in agriculture and their goals of advanced education. The scholarship program is one of the ways that the Foundation intends to support youth and the future of the livestock industry. In 2017 the FSCF is excited to award $12,000 in scholarships.

The current 2016 winners are listed on page 6 or go online to www.simmentalfoundation.com to find past winners and the current application form that can be used for all three of the scholarships for the 2017-18 academic year.

Youth Development The FCSF supports youth programs such as the Young Canadian Simmental Association (YCSA). The YCSA is one of the most progressive and dynamic agricultural youth organizations in Canada. It is open to anyone 25 years and under who then have the opportunity to participate in various activities across Canada.

For 2017 the FCSF direclty supporting YCS with a portion of the Fundraiser auction proceeds directly to the YCS program to assist in running of their 2017-18 activities. Here are just some of the great things we hear back from past YCSA members about this great program “I was a part of the YCSA program for 14 years.

I have met many youth across the country that are going to be lasting friendships for years to come. The YCSA experience has been something I will never forget. It has showed me leadership, marketing and moments and friendships I could have never found anywhere else. Youth that is excited about their operations and the breed of cattle they raise. It shows that the Simmental breed is in good hands for the future. Good luck to all of the Junior's in Lloydminster, have fun and meet as many juniors as you can. This will be an experience you will never forget.”

Tiffany Peters

“The benefits of my years in YCS program have proven lifelong; Not only through my involvement in the cattle industry but also in my role as an educator. Work ethic, social engagement, and goal setting are just a few of the skills members can attain. The Friends of Canadian Simmentals Foundation's support of YCS endeavours assists in the preparation of leaders for tomorrow.” Joe Barnett

“The YCSA program literally opened my eyes to the world. In 1999 when I was selected to “Travel the World with Simmental” as the CSA Youth Ambassador I had no idea the impact those twelve months would have on my life. This experience inspired me to pursue a career with the Canadian Foreign Service and provided me with an overseas branch on my family tree that continues to grow and flourish. The YCSA program instilled in me early on the value and importance of communication and being a leader. The friendships made over the years continue to be very strong despite the many miles in some cases that lay between us.

The bond and friendship formed is a unique one – it seems no matter how many years pass since the last visit we can always just pick up where we left off. I am forever grateful to the YCSA program and will always be a proud alumni.” Dana Lajoie (Hicks)

"As one of the very early members of the Saskatchewan YCS, there are a few things that stand out for me. One being the friendship's that were started then and still continue today. Back then the standing President was invited to the Saskatchewan Simmental Association board meetings, I remember the first one and how nervous I was the night before knowing that I would be seated beside all of these very important Simmental Breeders. Then to top it off I was asked what I thought about one of the discussion topics . WOW. One more thing , does anyone remember the Donkey up in the Queensbury at Agribition.

Thanks it was a great experience." Marlin LeBlanc “I have been fortunate enough to have been involved in the YCSA for the last 13 years. It has developed who I am and brought me to where I am today. These years have provided opportunities such as travelling across Canada for National Classics as well as to Lima, Ohio for their American National. The YCSA program has developed my skills as a leader, built friendships and given me memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to the Friends of Simmental Foundation and CSA for supporting this wonderful youth program. Your generosity will continue to shape the youth of today into the leaders of tomorrow.” Heather Creamer

My 4-H & YCS careers have lead me into becoming a 4-H leader, the OYCSA adult advisor as well as a director of the OSA. I am extremely honoured to be chosen as a recipient of one of the Friends of Canadian Simmental Foundation Awards, I can’t thank you enough for the support and encouragement that you have provided to the youth of our breed.

Me and my siblings have started a farm operation through our 4H projects called SMRT livestock and I hope to continue showing Simmental cattle through this venue. I have been actively involved in many school sports with basketball being my focus. In my spare time, I enjoy horse rides in the mountains, snowboarding and water sports.

Bred to JNR'S PHILOSOPHY- April 29

Frank along with his family have donated the heifer for Lot 1 of the auction. Tryon Simmentals has been breeding Fleckvieh Simmentals since 1986 when Frank along with his father Harry decided to get into purebred cattle. In 1988 they purchased a few cattle from the Rolling Hills dispersal that was held in their barn. One of them was RH Patricia who turned out to be the foundation of their herd. Over the years they have built the herd to 40-45 cows and began marketing them through the Fleckvieh forum sale in Ontario from 1998 until they moved to the Bar 5 sale in 2009. They currently run about 45 cows and market cattle through the Eastern Harvest sale. The farm is a family affair with Frank, his wife Lynn and three boys Rowan, Davis and Bradley being involved. Thank you to the Robblee Family for this generous donation.

Here is an opportunity that doesn’t come around every day! These are the first embryos we have sold and we feel this combination is very exciting. MFS Trendsetter 1D is probably the best female we have yet to raise; she is sound, moderate, easy keeping, and boasts a strong maternal pedigree. 1D is feminine and maternal enough to create desirable daughters, but also stout and powerful enough to sire herd bulls. 1D was Simmental Heifer Calf Champion, and she alongside her dam were crowned Champion Simmental Female and Supreme Champion Female of All Breeds at the 2016 Expo Boeuf in Victoriaville, QC. Harvie Red Summit 54B needs no introduction, as he was the 2016 National Champion Simmental Male and Supreme Champion Male at Farmfair International in Edmonton, AB.

The importance of an elite cow family and the influence they have on a program, lead Sunberry Valley Ranch & Canadian Sires to acquire this exceptional herd sire from Erixon Simmentals.

The good ones go on to produce more good ones, and the cycle continues. 42D is part of that cycle and it will not end with him. He has substance, sogginess, and is a sound made individual.

He has been crowned Lord of the Ring All Breeds Bull Calf Champion at Prince Albert Exhibition, Reserve Champion Simmental Bull and All Breeds Bull Calf Jackpot Champion at Brandon Ag Ex. His dam, RF Scream 215Z is simply one of the great donors out there also producing BGS/BM Captain Scream took the fall of 2016 by storm and was dominant in every way. Look to these genetics to breed true and continue to be highly marketable for the progressive cattleman that invest in consistency through cow families. Homozygous Polled

Climax 12C is a meticulously bred specimen whom hails from one of the most consistent flushes in recent history. Climax created quite a stir at the "Kuntz Bull Sale" where he demanded the attention of everyone.

When the gavel sounded Climax had garnished an impressive $47,000.00. He combines the rich mahogany hair coat and locomotion of a fine-tuned athlete, he carries a tremendous amount of depth, and is as wide as they come. Climax has the genetic potential we all envision. His tremendously uddered dam, Kuntz Miss Moses 03X, is one of the most consistent producers of herd sires stomping the ground. She is fully loaded with powerful genetics; such as the highly sought after MFL Zaila 8Z,Knight 155S, C&B Western, Rogant just to name a few! Sired by the industry leading South Seven Mr Adonis 96Z compounds Donated By: the genetics [Bonnie Lass, Dorothy Jane, Solway Adonis, Houston 005H and Arni 8M] to truly make a difference in your next calf crop. Climax is a force to Pine Creek Simmentals be reckoned with! * His first calves are on the ground and they are everything Alois Kerckhof and more we've hoped for! Climax exemplifies constituency throughout.*" 780-674-3939
