New EPDs Now Available! December 11, 2017

These EPDs are calculated using a new system of analysis called “BOLT” Single Step technology, which along with the best calculations possible, greatly enhances the time it takes to complete an EPD run, better incorporates genomic data and will calculate real accuracies! These changes keep us in line with the changes that are taking place at the AHA, and reap the benefits of a system sought by all of the large breed associations in US and Canada.

A Note From the Executive Director
I'm writing this note to quell all the rumors about the "breed purity" of a popular AI Sire.

Over the past few weeks there has been many rumors swirling around the breed make-up of a popular AI sire. Firstly, and most importantly, through correspondence with the CEO of Herefords Australia, we have received notification that this claim posted to an online web-chat was a fabrication.

Our role is to maintain the validity of the registry and the pedigrees held within it to the highest standard using gold-standard technologies. Currently, our gold-standard is parentage validation. In the future, new technologies that increase the ability of the registry to validate pedigrees may become useful, reliable tools, however currently these tools are not accurate enough to make definitive decisions from the results.

The technology that is referenced in this online post supposedly measures "breed purity". However, this technology is new and the result of the test is highly dependent on the group of animals that are being used as a "reference population". In actuality, the test measures "relatedness" to the reference population, not "breed purity". If a subject animal is compared to a reference population that does not truly represent its lineage, the result may be both inaccurate and misleading.

Currently, the CHA uses parentage as the gold-standard and stands behind the validity of the animals that have qualified to enter the Canadian Hereford Association registry.

August 2016 - The Spring 2016 Sire Summary is now Online Click Here to View.

Fee Changes for 2016
Following the December 2015 CHA Board of Directors Meeting there will be two fee changes, as follows:
Embryo Calf DNA Testing: The $15 subsidy for these ET calves has been removed, meaning that ET calves will be DNA tested at the regular rate of $40/parentage and abnormality test.
THE Fees: After over 10 years without any increases, the THE fees for 2016 enrolment will be $6/cow. In 2016 the CHA will be running 6 EPD evaluations to provide newly calculated EPDs for breeders to market cattle. Running 6 EPD runs per year will also provide much quicker turn around on getting GE-EPDs on cattle if you are using genomics evaluations in your program. The increase in cost to the THE enrolment fee offsets the increase in cost for the additional evaluations in 2016.
Five-Generation Pedigree: Access to 5 Generation Pedigrees will be free of charge going forward through your online log-in account. (If you don't already have a password, contact val@hereford.ca.) If a breeder requests that the CHA print and mail out a five-generation pedigree the cost will remain $10.00.

These changes will be reflected on the new 2016 Fee Schedule effective January 1, 2016

NEW for 2016 – EPDS will be calculated 6 times per year!

Beginning in 2016, all new Semen Certificate and Non-Semen Certificate AI Permitted sires will be required to have a High Density DNA test done.

Similarly, all Donor Dams and In-Herd AI Permitted sires will be required to have a Low Density DNA test done.

These tests will identify the genomics of those animals more prolific in the population to keep the development of our genomic evaluation as accurate as possible.
To help cover the expense of these tests, the CHA has secured funding so that we can offer the Low Density tests for the same cost as the regular parentage and abnormalities - for a limited time. Therefore Donor Dams & In-Herd AI Permitted bulls will be tested at the regular $40 fee. In the event that funding runs out, the cost will revert to the regular $75.

To get in on the reduced rate, please indicate the reason for the test when requesting DNA applications for animals with Donor Dam and AI Sire Permit intentions.

Western Canadian Cow-Calf Productivity Survey
This survey was first conducted in Alberta in the late 1980s, with a second survey in 1998/99. It is now being expanded to western Canada through a combined effort involving representatives from the provincial producer associations, Provincial Agriculture specialists, the Beef Cattle Research Council, Canfax and the Western Beef Development Centre.
The survey asks questions about your operation and your management and marketing practices as they relate to your 2014 calf crop, starting with breeding in 2013 and ending with weaning of your 2014-born calves.
The results of this survey will be used in a number of ways:
• Offer historical comparison with previous study findings to determine how the industry has changed given that the last time this survey was conducted was 16 years ago;
• Guide extension and research efforts;
• Validate anecdotal evidence on production matters;
• Identify which management practices are linked to strong production performance;
• Generate an updated set of production benchmarks for the cow-calf industry.

The survey is 58 questions in length and is estimated to take between 30 and 45 minutes to complete. The deadline for participation is February 28, 2015.

Participants have the option to provide contact information to receive a complimentary report of their production benchmarks in comparison with regional, provincial and/or herdsize benchmarks, or to remain anonymous. Aggregated anonymous survey results will be shared beginning in the spring of 2015.

The survey can be completed online here: http://www.wbdc.sk.ca/wcccs.htm
A pdf may be downloaded from that link as well.

Hard copies are also available from the ABP office or the provincial contacts listed on the survey.

July 14/14 - FYI – Attention Hereford Breeders
During the transition to new ownership in February of 2014, GenServe (the CHA sanctioned lab for parentage verification) experienced large delays due to the transition of equipment and staff. Although, we have been informed that the issues are fixed and they are in the process of clearing the backlog; this will take some time. You will still be able to enter animals for Bonanza. Complete your entry information with the Bonanza organizing committee and identify those animals waiting for DNA results as applied for. Please make sure your animal (s) are in the queue for DNA parent verification. We are expecting that the backlog will be dealt with prior to Bonanza taking place, so all competing animals will have all eligibility requirements complete.

Delays at the official laboratory - Thursday, April 10, 2014
You may have encountered some delays with DNA test results from GenServe, the official lab of the Canadian Hereford Association. Here is a message from GenServe's President, Leigh Marquess, regarding the delay in providing test results:
"Dear valued customer, during GenServe's transition to its new environment, several pieces of new automation friendly lab equipment were purchased in order to increase throughput, and while our full intention was to have a smooth transition, with no capacity interruptions, GenServe has had several equipment failures during this integration period resulting in longer than anticipated turnaround times. GenServe is working hard to remove these issues, and has engaged more capacity at GenServe's old facility such that the turnaround time and any associated back log is being removed as quick as possible. GenServe appreciates the patience you have shown, and will continue to increase capacity over the coming days."
