Demers-Collins inducted into Agriculture Hall of Fame

“I am truly honoured to have been selected to be placed in such distinguished ranks, along with today’s as well as past honourees, all of whom have made great contributions to agriculture in our province; and I am humbled,” says Simone Demers-Collins. “I am reminded of the gifts which I have been privileged to have received and which were so freely given to me by so many of Alberta Agriculture’s past inductees.”

Demers-Collins is a widely recognized authority on food quality, nutrition and food safety. She has been an advocate for the agriculture and agri-food industries, an educator and food champion for over 5 decades. Through her work with the Alberta Canola Producers, the Canola Council of Canada, other industry organizations as well as the Alberta government, she led initiatives to promote accurate, science-based information about food, food production and food quality to consumers, health professionals, media, and students.

She travelled extensively to gain insight into new and trending food promotional techniques that could further the province’s commitment to Canada’s international marketing of canola. The ideas, discoveries and inspirations showcased by these events resonated for a long time on the work Demers-Collins did within Alberta’s agriculture and food industries, best exemplified in the sampler pack of regular, cold-pressed, organic, high-stability, and expeller-pressed canola oils.

Another area where Demers-Collins has excelled, and perhaps the most important, is in education. Her brainchild of producing educational curricula based on science and nutrition was brilliant. In her quest to educate, she connected with students and their families by spearheading the publication of a children’s illustrated storybook, “Fields of Home,” with historical facts embedded within a compelling story on how canola was developed in Canada. This book morphed into 15 educational graphic novels: The Chase Superman Duffy Series.

As a member of the Canola Initiative National Advisory Council, Demers-Collins was also instrumental in the development of an exhibition featuring canola at Ottawa’s Canada Ag and Food Museum. With her encouragement, this initiative expanded to a multi-platform project that included Canola: A Story of Canadian Innovation, a travelling exhibition that explores the science behind the development, cultivation, and future of canola, as well as its uses in industries from food processing to transportation. It includes hands-on interactive elements, video content, dynamic imagery, and integrated lighting, that invites visitors to discover canola through their 5 senses by immersing themselves in a canola field and a processing plant.

Demers-Collins also led the formation of the Alberta Farmers’ Market Association, envisioned the Science Alberta Foundation interactive electronic display featuring nonfood uses for canola, represented commodity associations at the Feastival of Fine Chefs,

managed the Alberta Horticultural Congress, and coordinated the ‘trans-fat-free’ challenge when the Calgary Stampede became the first agricultural society in North America to have its entire event trans-fat free.

Simone Demers-Collins joins Jack Lewis and Bruce Beattie as the 2022 inductees into the Alberta Agriculture Hall of Fame.

Prepared for 2023 wildfire season?

As spring nears, Albertans are reminded that wildfire season is beginning. The wildfire season runs from March 1 to Oct. 31 in Alberta.

“As folks look forward to enjoying Alberta’s wonderful outdoor spaces over the months ahead, we’re focussed on keeping communities safe. Alberta Wildfire has leading-edge firefighting resources positioned across the province, ready to respond to new wildfires as they arise, and continues to test and implement emerging tools and innovation designed to increase our wildfire management capabilities. It’s important that everyone plays an active role preventing wildfires from starting,” said Todd Loewen, Minister of Forestry, Parks and Tourism

Nearly all spring wildfires in Alberta are human-caused, which means that they are 100 per cent preventable.

The spring wildfire hazard is highest after seasonal melting has left fuels like trees and grasses extremely dry and flammable. Under these conditions, wildfire can ignite easily and spread quickly.

During the high-hazard time in spring, and throughout the wildfire season, it is critical that people take care to fully extinguish campfires, frequently check off-highway vehicles (OHVs) for smouldering debris and conduct agriculture burning projects safely.

Fire permits are free and are required during wildfire season for activities like residential, industrial or agricultural debris burning within the Forest Protection Area (FPA). Those living or operating a business within the FPA can obtain their fire permit online at firepermits.alberta.ca or by calling their local forest area office.

To report a wildfire, call 310-FIRE (310-3473) toll-free, from anywhere in Alberta.

“The pandemic caused health and wellness trends to accelerate across the grocery industry, trends that are causing consumers to take a second look at their food,” says Ava Duering, competitiveness analyst with the Alberta government.

According to a July 2022 Deloitte survey of over 2,000 adults in the U.S., since the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers have become more interested in maintaining and enhancing their health. The survey showed that while the cost of food has

increased over the past few months, for fresh food producers and grocers looking to compete on more than just price, there may be a bright spot - consistent demand for health and wellness.

The Deloitte survey also showed that health and wellness is an important factor influencing food purchasing behaviour.

84% of respondents consider health and wellness when purchasing fresh food.

80% of respondents believe fresh food is healthier than packaged

or processed food marketed as healthy.

75% of respondents actively seek more personalized nutrition, up 13 percentage points from one year ago.

The latest Consumer Corner, which shares consumer trends related to the agri-food industry with Alberta’s agriculture and food industry, highlights these trends.

Duering says there are some key takeaways for Alberta producers, processors and retailers from the latest trends and surveys:

Producers, processors and retailers who can deliver on food that contains the ingredients that consumers deem as healthy and reformulate products containing ingredients deemed as unhealthy will likely retain and attain consumers.

Healthy food means different things to different people. Therefore, food producers, processors and retailers can utilize market research to help target their marketing efforts towards the appropriate demographics.

Many consumers believe that fruits and vegetables, whether fresh or as an ingredient in other food products and beverages, have a beneficial health impact.

Alberta fresh fruit and vegetable producers and processors can capitalize on this market opportunity.

Consumers are seeing the link between immune support and the microbiome and are ready to eat products that have good gut bacteria such as healthy yogurts. Processors and retailers can benefit from this trend by producing and marketing products to appeal to the healthfulness of yogurt and dairy products.

Consumers may base purchasing decisions on information provided by trusted sources. Therefore, it can be beneficial for companies to utilize sources that consumers trust such as registered dietitians and personal healthcare professionals when marketing their products.

Producers, processors, and retailers can maximize their potential market share by capitalizing on the e-commerce trend further entrenched during the COVID-19 pandemic, and develop both an in-store marketing strategy as well as an e-commerce strategy. E-commerce provides the convenience that consumers became accustomed to during the pandemic.

“The key market drivers for healthy food are increasing adoption of healthy lifestyle, consumption of prebiotic and probiotic food, digestion and food intolerance issues, and building immunity and disease prevention of diseases such as coronary heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes,” says Duering.

The CCA’s Annual General Meeting in Ottawa brings together directors from provincial member associations to determine policy for the industry.

The meeting also allows CCA the opportunity to meet and discuss industry issues with Ministers, Members of Parliament, Senators and other key influencers at an annual reception held near Parliament Hill. CCA directors elect new leadership at the annual general meeting every year, with the President and Vice President eligible to serve two oneyear terms.

The Canadian Galloway Association represents three breeds: Galloways, Belted Galloways, and White Galloways. All three breeds come in black, dun, or red color. Galloways were imported into Canada in 1853, Belted Galloways were imported around 1950, and White Galloways were imported in 1966.

A double coat of hair in the winter helps to reduce feed intake and therefore lower costs and helps produce flavourful meat, lean yet-well marbled

without excessive external fat. The breed is naturally polled and will eliminate horns from the next calf crop. Feeding tests at Olds College in Olds, Alberta over the last 21 years have shown that Galloway steers had excellent feed conversion rates and produced excellent carcasses.

For more information about the Galloway breed, go to the website of the Canadian Galloway Association: http:// www.galloway.ca

Speckle Park

The Speckle Park breed is a Canadian creation. Speckle Park were created and developed in two western Canadian provinces – Saskatchewan and Alberta. Speckle Park as a breed consistently produce moderate sized well marbled carcasses with a minimal fat cover. Speckle Park do all of this in a harsh winter environment on very basic food stuffs. Speckle Park are now also at home in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, England and the United States.

Often described as “the beef breed with the colour bonus” SP have a range of spectacular colour patterns. The “classic speckled” pattern is black sided with a white top line and underline, a black or grey head and spots on the rear quarters like the Appaloosa horse. The black sides may be broken into many smaller black spots of various sizes on a white ground. Some are white with black points on the nose, ears, skin around the eyes, and feet and legs. Teats are black.

Salers

Salers are considered to be one of the oldest European breeds, whose roots can be traced to 16,500-yearold cave drawings found near the town of Salers in the South Central region of France, the Auvergne, in the heart of the volcanic area of the Massif Central. The rough terrain, poor soil and harsh climate combined with the area’s isolation has contributed to a genetically pure breed of cattle with bred-in range ability to thrive almost entirely on native grasses in the summer and roughage diet in winter.

The Salers breed in North America has evolved into an outstanding maternal beef breed with no lack of performance and carcass traits. The cattle are usually solid red or black and are naturally horned but polled bloodlines have been developed by selection and are now predominant in the national herd. Salers females possess a larger than average pelvic area, the largest in the industry, and calve easily to the service of larger terminal cross sires. They are excellent mothers with good milk production, are very fertile and re-breed quickly.

Salers bulls are efficient breeders and sire calves of moderate birth weight, with a strong will to live and good growth. USMARC studies have confirmed that Salers is the highest marbeling Continental breed, have a large ribeye area and a leaner carcass (less fat thickness) than British breeds. Salers cross steers perform well in feedlots and have exceptional carcass yield and quality.

Salers were first imported into Canada in 1972 with the Salers Association of Canada being established in 1973. Canada continues to be an excellent source for Salers genetics worldwide.

Recently the Peace Country Junior Cattlemen group got together with their club family to do public speaking infront of the club, after that the worked together building planter boxes! The kids each chose something important to them to talk about that wasn’t their cattle. Trapping predators, volleyball, gardening, pets and more were all talked about! Public speaking is sometimes challenging to do and they all did great!

Imported to Canada in 1968 from France, Limousin is one of the five major breeds in Canada and in the United States. The Limousin breed has an important economic role in today’s beef industry. Known throughout the world as the carcass breed, Limousin cattle excel in feed efficiency and have proven to consume less than other animals of the same size and yet perform to equal or superior levels.

The Limousin female is appreciated in commercial production for her easy maintenance, her fertility and milking ability while Limousin sired calves are sought after for their feed conversion and high quality carcass. This genetic achievement is the result of selection based on carcass and residual feed intake research and development throughout the North American Limousin population.

The Shorthorn breed had its founding about 225 years ago in Durham County in North East England. Shorthorn cattle are medium framed with mature females in the 1400 -1600 pound range and bulls ranging from 2200 – 2400 pounds in working condition. They are available both horned and polled with homogeneous polled genetics also available. The main colour variations are solid red, red with white markings, and roan and white, which gives commercial producers

several different options to select from to suit their situations.

Shorthorn genetics have always provided a strong maternal trait. The Shorthorn female, purebred or crossbred, has long been sought after for its early maturity, fertility, ease of calving, milk production, longevity and docility. Carcass traits have been an area where the exotic or terminal breeds have excelled.With the more recent return and focus on a moderate carcass with consistent superior marbling, the carcass traits of the Shorthorn breed have become more popular. Feedlot tests reveal that Shorthorn influenced cattle reach the optimum carcass weight at an earlier age with a higher percentage of AA+ marbling. While exotic breeds will claim more muscling and larger rib eyes they cannot compete with the consistent, well marbled, high yielding Shorthorn carcasses.

Today’s Canadian Shorthorns continue to prove that they play a very important role in the future of the beef industry. While many breeds portray themselves as being balanced and versatile, none of them compare to the ability of Shorthorn genetics to adapt and improve in a variety of crossbreeding situations.

GENETIC EVALUATION DEFINITIONS

What does that mean?

Using EPDs for Bull Selection

EPDs are calculated using pedigree, performance and genomic data. Canadian Angus members participate in the voluntary Performance Program through which they collect and submit performance data on fertility, calving ease, growth, structure, carcass quality, and feed efficiency for their calves. A big thank you to all our members who take the time to measure and record this data; without you we cannot generate the genetic selection tools that we do. Many members have started measuring and submitting phenotypes for the new traits introduced here. As you start calving, please do not forget to record teat and udder scores on your cows.

EPDs are a genetic selection tool that some producers appreciate and use to select their bulls.

CANADIAN ANGUS ASSOCIATION GENETIC EVALUATION

DEFINITIONS

Production EPDs:

Calving Ease Direct (CED) EPD describes the percentage of expected unassisted births when a bull is exposed to first-time heifers. The higher the number, the higher the probability that first-time heifers bred to the bull in question will calve with no assistance. The EPD predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire’s calves will be born when he is bred to first-calf heifers.

Birth Weight EPD (BW) EPD describes in pounds the difference in expected progeny weight, on average. A bull with a BW EPD of +4 will, on average, sire calves that are 2 pounds heavier than a bull with a BW EPD of +2 (given equal management).

Weaning Weight EPD (WW) EPD describes in pounds the difference in expected weaning weight in progeny, on average. WW EPD is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires. A bull with a WW EPD of +50 will sire calves that are, on average, 20 pounds heavier at weaning than a sire with a WW EPD of +30 (given equal management).

Yearling Weight EPD (YW) EPD describes in pounds the difference in expected yearling weight in progeny, on average. YW EPD is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit post weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires. A bull with a YW EPD of +100 will sire calves that are, on average, 30 pounds heavier at weaning than a sire with a WW EPD of +70 (given equal management).

Residual Average Daily Gain (RADG) EPD describes an animal’s ability to grow post weaning on a constant amount of feed. RADG EPD, expressed in pounds per day, is a predictor of a sire’s genetic ability for postweaning gain in future progeny compared to that of other sires, given a constant amount of feed consumed. A bull with an RADG EPD of +1.5 will sire calves that, on average, will grow 1 extra pound per day more than calves from another bull with an RADG EPD of 0.5—on the same amount of feed.

Dry Matter Intake (DMI) EPD describes the feed intake potential for weaned calves from one sire compared to the feed intake potential of calves from another sire. This EPD is expressed in pounds per day. Weaned calves from Sire A with a DMI EPD of 0.50 will eat approximately 0.5 pounds of dry matter a day more than weaned calves from Sire B with a DMI EPD of 0.00. This EPD should also be used in conjunction with a growth EPD, such as YW EPD, as unlike RADG EPD, it does not include a growth component. Used independently of a growth EPD the DMI EPD selects solely for appetite.

Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC) EPD describes the difference in average scrotal circumference in sons. Expressed in centimetres,

a sire with an SC EPD of 1.2 will, on average, have sons with scrotal circumference that is 1 centimetre larger than the sons from a sire with an SC EPD of 0.2. SC EPD has also been correlated with daughter’s age at puberty and progeny fertility.

Docility (Doc) EPD is expressed as a difference in yearling cattle temperament, with a higher value indicating more favourable docility. It predicts the average difference of progeny from a sire in comparison with another sire’s calves. In herds where temperament problems are not an issue, this expected difference would not be realized.

Claw Set (Claw) EPD is expressed in units of claw-set score, with a lower EPD being more favourable indicating a sire will produce progeny with more functional claw set. Ideally, toes are symmetrical, even and appropriately spaced.

Foot Angle (Angle) EPD is expressed in units of foot-angle score, with a lower EPD being more favourable indicating a sire will produce progeny with more ideal foot angle. The ideal is a 45-degree angle at the pastern joint with appropriate toe length and heel depth.

Carcass EPDs:

Carcass Weight (CW) EPD is expressed in pounds and is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. A bull with a CW EPD of +30 will sire calves that, on average, will result in 10 pounds more hot carcass weight than the progeny of a bull with CW EPD of +20.

Marbling (Marb) EPD describes the marbling potential of calves from one bull compared to the calves from another bull, given the same management. This EPD is expressed as the difference in grade score. Given the same management, the calves from a bull with a Marb EPD of 0.6 will marble ½ a grade score better than the calves from a bull with a Marb EPD of 0.1.

Ribeye Area (RE) EPD describes in square inches the difference in ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Fat Thickness (Fat) EPD expressed in inches, describes the differences in back fat thickness at the 12th rib (as measured between the 12th and 13th ribs) of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Maternal EPDs:

Heifer Pregnancy (HPG) EPD is a selection tool to increase the probability or chance of a sire’s daughters becoming pregnant as first-calf heifers at first exposure. A higher EPD indicates a higher probability of conception.

Calving Ease Maternal (CEM) EPD describes the probability of not requiring assistance when a bull’s daughters calve for the first time. The higher the EPD, the higher the probability that a bull’s daughters will not require assistance at calving time.

Milk EPD describes, in pounds, the portion of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability. On average, daughters from a bull with a Milk EPD of +20 will contribute 5 pounds more to their calves’ weaning weight than the daughters of a bull with Milk EPD of +15. Milk EPD is a threshold trait that should be maintained at a moderate level dependent on the management and environment of the herd.

Mature Weight (MW) EPD expressed in pounds, is a predictor of the difference in mature weight of daughters of a sire compared to the daughters of other sires.

Mature Height (MH) EPD expressed in inches, MH EPD is a predictor of the difference in mature height of a sire’s daughters compared to daughters of other sires
