Sixty years ago, Progressive Conservative Prime pursue new pipeline projects. Although separation Minister John G. Diefenbaker ran on the platform – of the Western Provinces is long from reality, these “One Country – One Policy – One Canada!” actions should spark the federal government to act On October 21, 2019, Canada is the farthest ever in the betterment of the Prairies, but for us it will be from a country that is strong and unified. The Prairie business as usual. provinces and the food producing areas of Ontario and Quebec elected Conservative, while the balance of the country supported the “left.” The main issue in this election was climate and the middle class… full of promises and speculations. As an example, the (teacher) Prime Minister has promised to plant two billion trees over ten years, using the power of nature to fight climate change and reach net-zero emissions by 2050 though no details were offered as to how this will be achieved. All the leaders promised tax cuts from an economy deep in debt… where is the money coming from? Our children will inherit a back breaking load; all for the sake of getting elected.

The Federal government could take some guidance from Canadian Angus Breeders. Angus is the largest beef breed in Canada, it is the strongest and most dominant in the pasture, feedlot, the marketplace and restaurants in the nation. Its representation is coast to coast and producers balance their budget!

It is time to quit thinking politics and get to something we know. Hopefully you got your crop in as Mother Nature, again, played with your calendar. Our early sales have been very solid with an abundance of buyers for the top end which also reflects the commercial sector, as good uniform calves with hair and top are fetching healthy premiums. Today’s market shows the Over the years we have heard conversations of importance of quality sire selection. separation whether its been Quebec or hints in This time of year is busy for both ranchers and Alberta.

In addition to the regular chores, late such a change in national unity in our country. fall is a great time to get off the farm, attend a sale or Immediately after the election, talk of Western two and attend some fall shows, where you can see Canadian separation became headline news and no a cross-section of all breeding programs. Breeders, doubt lays in the mind of the Prime Minister. The many of your customers are selling their calves, a trip cry from Western Canada holds merit as Scott Moe, to the market will not be a wasted day. Producers Premier of Saskatchewan has been at odds with the need to analyze their herd bull battery and their feds since he was elected.

Many people have mixed reactions when you bring up the topic of mental health. Some people openly talk about the difficulties they’re experiencing. Some choose to ignore their mental health, or believe the whole idea of mental health is a load of manure. Others have no awareness of the impact their poor mental health has on them, on the people around them, or on their business. Thankfully, there has been an overall increase in mental health awareness in the agriculture community. Ag producers are talking, and industry is listening. Social media and industry leaders are providing the opportunity for people to reach out and share their experiences and to support and help each other. Talking about mental health is great, but it’s time to take it a step further and to do some work. We as a society, especially as ag producers, need to do more than offer words that encourage people to “reach out” or to “talk about it.” Talking about mental health helps the people who know they are experiencing difficulties, who are ready to listen or participate in the mental health conversation, and who are talkers. What about the people who are not talkers? Or, what about the people whose really poor state of mental health is their normal, and they don’t know any different? You may not recognize those people as having mental health difficulties. Instead, you probably refer to them as grouchy, stubborn, hard to deal with, or the person who can suck the life out of any conversation. Sound familiar? Do you know anyone who fits that description? Do you fit that description?

your mental health and wellbeing is very similar to the steps you would take for improving your calf crop. It starts with looking at the facts.

Your mental health and wellbeing are important, whether you choose to talk about it or not and whether you are aware of it or not. Most people don’t recognize how influential wellbeing is in our daily lives. Poor mental health can sink your relationships and your business. It affects your ability to think, to sleep, to make decisions, and to physically do your work. You and your wellbeing are worth investing time into, just like you do in running your cowherd. This may be surprising, but working on

This is a strategy you can use for improving your wellbeing. Ask yourself, “How am I physically? How am I mentally and emotionally?” It is important to take a little time to check in with yourself and then truthfully answer the questions. You may be surprised by your own answers. A rule of thumb for this strategy is to focus on describing yourself and how you are behaving, thinking, and feeling. For example, your answer might include, “I feel rested, content, and happy.” Your answer may also include

issue

Strategy #1: take inventory Let’s use the example of making money off of your herd. You auction your calves, get the cheque back and, once again, it’s not as much as you thought it would be. There are a few different reactions you may have in this scenario: • You can shrug your shoulders, think you have no control, and continue breeding and raising your cattle as you always did. (Will this help you to improve your calf crop? Probably not.) • You can be angry, yell at the auction manager and take your anger out on your partner, and then continue breeding and raising your cattle as you always did. (Will this help you to improve your calf crop? Probably not, and may cost you money with a divorce.) • You can take a realistic look back at the set of calves you sold and think about what’s going on, were they quality cattle? (Will this help you to improve your next calf crop? It has potential!) Looking at the facts helps to identify the areas of strengths, and the areas that could use some improvement.

Cover Photography Grant Rolston

This incredible offer is only available to the first 5,000 head enrolled. Each will receive the Angus GS test at the discounted price of $25/test.

The Angus GS test gives members more accurate EPDs, genomic percentile ranks and parentage verification. The CAA parentage verification policy requires all sires (born on or after January 1, 2019) to be parent verified so having Angus GS testing on your cow herd is of great value!

Over the past year, I have developed a belly full of environmental gurus who place the blame on agriculture. I think that Greta Thunberg and David Suzuki need to come out here and thaw a few watering bowls on a day such as today and get the true picture of global warming. The 77th Annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverley Hills, California banned meat from the menu, citing livestock as being the cause of climate change. Many of these opinionated entertainers attended by flying in on their private jets so they could flaunt their cosmetic lifestyles, without a clue about the environment… what a crock! We are now entering a new year and decade, with it comes optimism and enthusiasm. 2019 was a mixed year on mother nature’s behalf; moisture was sporadic and pocketed, but most producers gathered enough winter forage. Although, there are areas where harvest has not been completed, as swathes still lay under the snow, waiting for an April harvest. The commercial sector saw a rewarding feeder and stocker market for good quality, heavy weight calves and the purebred sector saw records set at several events. Once again, there was demand for high quality seed stock at high levels and fall bull sales were very strong for the most part. The signs point upward for 2020. After two years of uncertainty in the beef market, it appears that

Japan and China have settled their trade restrictions against North America. The African Swine Fever which destroyed half the pig population in China and neighboring countries is forcing them to import pork or find another protein supply… this pork requirement will no doubt benefit all red meat sectors. Reaching an agreement in the Canada-United StatesMexico pact (what was NAFTA) should help trade on the North American continent. Cattle inventories have not grown, but heavier carcasses have offset the small decline in meat supplies. Consumer demand is increasing, and packers are talking of a healthy increase in beef prices by the end of the first quarter. Angus breeders should be very proud of their accomplishments. Over the past decade or two, breeders have been drastically improving their product. No doubt Certified Angus Beef has been a standard, but breeders have tended to the “right kind,” resulting in higher quality with extra pay weight. But the key watch word is quality… whether you are acquiring your next herd bull or purchasing breeding females. Remember that your herd bull is fifty percent of your calf crop. As you enjoy perusing this commercial issue, you will find the best bulls on offer within. These dedicated breeders have high quality programs with the newest and freshest genetics. Do not hesitate to contact any of these leading breeders to discuss their bulls and your breeding requirements. Let’s all have a great spring!

There are a few different reactions you may have in this scenario: • You can shrug your shoulders, think you have no control, and continue breeding and raising your cattle as you always did. (Will this help you to improve your calf crop? Probably not.) • You can be angry, yell at the auction manager and take your anger out on your partner, and then continue breeding and raising your cattle as you always did. (Will this help you to improve your calf crop? Probably not, and may cost you money with a divorce.) • You can take a realistic look back at the set of calves you sold and think about what’s going on, were they quality cattle? (Will this help you to improve your next calf crop? It has potential!) Looking at the facts helps to identify the areas of strengths, and the areas that could use some improvement.

your mental health and wellbeing is very similar to the steps you would take for improving your calf crop. It starts with looking at the facts. Strategy #1: Take inventory Let’s use the example of making money off of your herd. You auction your calves, get the cheque back and, once again, it’s not as much as you thought it would be.

Strategies for breeding your own wellbeing: 1. Take inventory, focus on the facts of how you are feeling, thinking, and behaving. 2. Identify what you need, and what you can do to make improvements. 3. Follow through and evaluate the outcome. 4. Repeat Today’s Angus Advantag e 46

Insides2020-1-80.indd 46

1/27/2020 12:58:35 PM

descriptions such as, “I am tired, feel frustrated. I’m yelling a lot, angry, anxious, over-worked. I’m really negative. I just realized I may treat my family like crap.”

talking (shocking, I know), give that a try. Just making those few changes will improve your ability to handle stress, and will hopefully start to improve your relationships.

Keep in mind that it’s okay to be uncomfortable thinking about yourself in this way. It’s uncomfortable because we’re not used to it, and possibly because you might learn some things about yourself that surprise you. Push through the uncomfortable, for how do we improve our wellbeing if we don’t? Just a heads up, if your answer includes details like, “I’m terrible, there’s crop still in the field, I had a wreck at calving, and my spouse is a hellish nightmare,” that’s more about parts of your life and not specifically about you. Start by focusing on you specifically.

Strategy #3: Follow through and evaluate the outcome Returning to the example, we identified some facts about the calves, areas to improve, and some ideas as to how to make the changes that are within our control. You followed through with the idea of breeding to a performance bull that could add some hair, and perhaps made changes to your feeding practices. The calves sell, and that’s the end of the story? No, of course not! You look at the cheque knowing that you had no control over the market price. But did the calves have more hair? Did they weigh more? Following through and evaluating the outcome is a very important step to making improvements.

Strategy #2: Identify what you need and what you can do Using the example again, you’ve taken a realistic look at the set of calves you sold and identified that they weren’t as heavy as you thought they were. The calves didn’t have enough grow in them. Another thing is that maybe they could use more hair. So, what do you need and what can you realistically do to make improvements? It’s not feasible to go buy a new cowherd, but maybe you can look to breed your cows to a higher performance bull that also adds hair. You also think you can take a look at pasture management or your feeding practices to see if you can make improvements there. This is a strategy you can use for improving your wellbeing. If you did step #1 and took an inventory of how you’re doing, maybe you identified that you are very tired, you feel overworked and anxious, and that you’re yelling and not treating your family very well. What do you need and what can you do to make some improvements in those specific areas? For starters, feeling tired can be related to a lack of sleep, poor nutrition, and dehydration. During certain times of the year (for example, calving), it can be a challenge to physically get enough sleep. During those times, it is important to fit in sleep when you can, even if it’s napping for 15 to 30 minutes during the day. Getting some rest also helps to balance out a person’s emotions. Eat a variety of proteins, fruits and vegetables, and make sure you are drinking enough water. Your tractor won’t run if it is out of fuel, well neither will your body. For any negative behaviours you realize you do, like yelling, think about if there are certain times you behave that way. The moment you recognize that you are doing the negative behaviour, stop. Even if you are in mid yell while you’re sorting cattle and you hear yourself, stop. Believe me, your family won’t mind if you don’t follow through. An alternative to yelling is

This strategy is also important for us to use in our own daily lives. Perhaps you identified from the first strategy that you were tired, angry, negative, and a jerk to your family. You identified you needed more sleep and to eat better and you made positive changes in those areas. When you check in on yourself to evaluate the outcome, you may be surprised to realize that by getting some extra sleep, you were able to think more clearly, were less frustrated, and less angry. The times you did yell at your family, you stopped yourself and tried talking instead. By looking into what’s working and what’s not with the little changes made, you may realize that you and your partner have a better relationship because there is way less yelling, less silence, and more communicating. Strategy #4: Repeat Working on our wellbeing is an ongoing process, and it may not be easy. Raising cattle isn’t easy either, but it is worth it, as is working on your mental health and wellbeing. The strategies are meant as a step for taking action to do just that. Please recognize the examples in this article are somewhat simplified, and life may not be as straightforward. Look at the facts of who you are, how you feel, think, and behave, and make small changes as you go. You didn’t build your cowherd overnight. You’ve likely invested years of your time and energy to build the herd you have today. Your mental health and wellbeing are worthy of that same commitment.

1/27/2020 12:59:48 PM

Turner Boys Shorty had a problem, an addiction of sorts. It wasn’t life threatening, or at least it hadn’t been, but he was never quite sure. The problem…he couldn’t say no. This time it started with a phone call one Thursday evening. “Shorty…it’s Cec. Could we get you to give us a hand on the weekend?” “Oh hi Cec.” Shorty’s brain was shouting…NO NO NO!, but his mouth was saying “Sure Cec. What’s up?”

a vacant spot. He had finished unloading his horse and dog before a Turner showed up. Cyril showed up first, he come screaming around an old tractor on a gleaming new quad. “Hey Shorty! Thanks for coming. You seen Cec?” “I just…” Shorty was interrupted by Cec as he appeared on a sputtering old red Honda quad that had seen way better days. If machines could look unhappy, this one did. “Come on Cec we gotta go. You’re late!”

“We gotta work cows and, well, umm.” “Should I bring a horse?” “Yeah if you could, that would be great! Say about nine on Saturday morning?” Cec didn’t even wait for an answer, “Thanks Shorty, see ya.” Shorty hung up and immediately kicked himself. “Dammit!” The Turner boys ran a place down the road a bit. Well ran was maybe a stretch, but then so was calling them boys. Cec was the oldest, he was in his late sixties, and his brother Cyril was a couple years younger. The two boys were polar opposites, both in stature and attitude. Cec was calm, border lining on lazy, while Cyril was wired for sound. If Cec were an inch and a half taller, he would be a perfect cube, he was as wide as he was thick, just short. Cyril was tall and so skinny he barely cast a shadow. To say the Turner place was run down was, well, an understatement. There wasn’t a usable fence on the place, the corrals were held together with twine and wire and the yard littered with equipment and vehicles that were left right where they broke down. Shorty wheeled his truck and trailer into

Cec was not the least impressed by his brother’s enthusiasm. He turned his quad off, and extended his hand to Shorty. “Thanks for coming Shorty. How you been?” “Cec! Let’s go! Come on. Shorty, we are goin’ to bring the cows in from the meadow. We’ll chase them on the quads, all you need to do is watch the gate on top of the hill. Come on Cec let’s go! Plug in the fence Cec!” Before Cec could answer Cyril was gone in a cloud of smoke and dust. Cec fired up his quad and off he sputtered. Shorty followed the two into the pasture and headed to his post. The fences on either side of him were…well pretty much nonexistent. The boy’s solution for the state of disrepair was a single strand of electric wire held in place by white stakes. Shorty hated electric fences. He was soon at his spot, a sorry excuse for a gate that hung precariously between a broken post and a rotten one. He pulled his horse up, and turned to watch the show. His dog, Mike laid down next to the horse and began to nod off. Shorty watched the boys roaring around herding the entire

commotion towards Shorty. The lead cow was on a dead run, with the rest of them strung out behind. As the lead cow drew near, she turned her attention to the gate that Shorty was guarding. She slowed as she got close, sized Shorty up, and decided he was not a problem. She walked around him and that is when Mike woke up. He looked at Shorty, then at the cow, back at Shorty. Shorty waved his left hand at the dog and the dog sprang into action. Mike ran to cut the cow off. The cow saw the dog and lowered her head, before she charged at Mike. Mike locked onto her nose. The cow bellowed as if she had been shot. “Mike! That ‘ll do.” Mike let go and shook the cow snot and blood from his mouth. The cow headed for the corral. In the meantime, the Turner boys had moved the remainder of the herd close to Shorty. The cows were intent on following the wounded leader and Cyril was intent on getting them there as quickly as possible. He roared back in forth behind the cows, shouting and swearing as he went. Cec was following a single cow on the far side of the herd. The cow that had garnered Cec’s attention was…well she was a bitch. She was intent on not doing whatever it was that Cec was trying to make her do. If she was a human, Shorty figured she would be covered in tattoos and ride a Harley. As she crested the hill and started down the other side, she made her move. The cow started to the right, and when Cec swung the quad that way, the cow spun to her left and bolted between Cec and Cyril. Cec slammed his quad in reverse and turned the quad to his right. The quad shot backwards and Cec stood up and reached to the shifter. At that very moment the quad’s metal frame made contact with the electric fence.

Now Shorty wasn’t sure if it was the shock or momentum that fired Cec from his mount, but whatever it was, Cec shot off the quad and landed on his back on the downhill side of the now stationary quad. Shorty figured he looked like a turtle laying shell down. The problem being was that Cec was positioned with his head downhill and to get up he had to crabwalk around so that he could roll over and get to his feet. By now, Cyril had gathered up the biker chick and was running her towards the corral. Cec was flustered and wasn’t really thinking. He went to jump back on the bike and was shocked back into reality. Shorty could swear the quad looked happier than it was an hour or so ago. “Cec hold on!” Shorty was swinging out of the saddle. He grabbed the sorting stick off the back of the quad and held the wire away from the bike. “Okay…take it away” “Thanks Shorty” Cec gingerly guided the old quad away from the wire. “You okay Cec?” Cec had shut the quad off and was dusting himself off. “Yeah, I am good. Damn that wire packs a punch! Thanks Shorty.” “No problem Cec, as long as you are okay…” Cec gave himself the quick once over, then gingerly approached the old quad. He reached for the handlebars, touched them, and quickly pulled his hand back. Satisfied that all was well with he and his mount, he swung himself into position and fired the quad up. As he pulled away, Shorty noticed that he never took his eye off the electric fence and stayed as far away as possible. “Mike.” Shorty looked over at the dog trotting on his left, “If there comes a time that I get bucked off a quad… or for that matter, use electric fences, tell me to quit.” Mike looked up and Shorty saw him nod.

Grant Rolston was born and raised in ranching country near Penticton, British Columbia. After graduating school, he worked on a purebred Hereford ranch, then assumed a position at Western Breeders Artificial Insemination Unit. In 1980, he left the livestock scene and joined the Edmonton Police Department, where he received his formal training in photography, working for the IDENT unit (crime scene investigation). After a decade, he returned to the industry, purchasing a herd of purebred Angus cattle but both Grant and his wife, Lauralee, worked off the ranch to make a living. He chose livestock photography and is now Canada’s premier livestock photographer of beef cattle. Grant and Lauralee travel throughout nine provinces in Canada for on farm photography, in addition to all major livestock shows, including the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, the Canadian Western Agribition and all major National Junior shows in the summer months. Grant and Lauralee Rolston reside in Vulcan, Alberta. With four decades of experience, Grant shares things that are “Not Taken for Granted.” Today’s Angus Advantag e 67

What’s Your

Legacy? Canadian Angus Foundation’s Building the Legacy Sale 9 Saturday June 13, 2020 – 8pm EST Delta Beausejour, Moncton, New Brunswick Building the Legacy has become Canadian Angus Foundation’s main fundraiser focus and is a main source for generating resources to further our mission. Please join us. The Canadian Angus Foundation functions to preserve and expand the Angus breed for future generations through education, youth development, scientific and market research, and historical preservation and restoration. The Canadian Angus Foundation was incorporated in 1993 and is the charitable arm of the Canadian Angus Association. The vision of Building the Legacy is to allow the Foundation to build monetary resources. The Foundation uses its funds to provide opportunities for our youth, young breeders and membership to grow in the areas of leadership, marketing, networking, animal husbandry, genetic improvement and to learn about developing tools to enhance Angus production. The vision also includes the importance of preserving Angus history. By fostering these areas we can ensure our Angus history is not lost and will keep Angus as the breed of choice for the commercial beef sector and end users for years to come. Because of generous donors, we can support initiatives, scholarships, travel bursaries and learning opportunities. Through benevolent donations of livestock, semen, embryos, items and experiences, as well as the purchasing of the auction offerings, the Foundation is able to put together a great suite of opportunities for our Angus membership. Please join us!
