Calving is all done for us, 15 cows calved in the first cycle of being

exposed to the bulls, except for four cows, two cows came into heat

again late October so aren’t due until late August or early Sept, and

one cow I’m not sure when but could be in that time frame as well.

A new addition to the herd wasn’t bred when I made a trade deal

for her in Jan, she was bred on March 5th so will have a calf on Dec

12 give or take few days. I’ll see how winter calving works out for

me as I would like to have some at different times or I’ll regret it.

The two late heat cows and possibly the third cow may have ab-

sorbed their first breeding due to the fact they got into some moldy

hay that was meant to be burnt. The hay was under a pile of old

logs, lumber, yard cleanup etc at a rented pasture site, but they man-

aged to push these around to get at the hay. I’ve read articles that

the mold dust can get into the blood stream through the lungs and

into the placenta killing the fetus. I don’t know for sure if this is

what happened but be careful with what the cows can get into and

eat.

There have been a lot of things to deal with since the last newsletter

I have attended three meeting, the CBBC AGM, CLCR AGM, and

the CBBC “Niche Breeds” committee meeting. As during any

AGM there is the usual business of presenting the last year’s busi-

ness reports and financial statements. Then there are the real inter-

esting parts where there is discussion of concerns, ideas, questions,

quick answers, solutions, and the short and long term goals. I’ve

condensed this, but whenever possible we as members of organiza-

tions should make every effort to attend these meetings, anyone can

attend these meetings not just the official representative of the

breed associations. There is always interaction with the attendees

and everyone is ready to share information and ideas and of course

it seems there isn’t enough time, but I always feel that I have

learned something new and acquired more information and

knowledge, also finding out that I don’t know as much as I thought

I did.

The CBBC “Niche Breeds Committee” meeting dealt with how the

breed associations can start to improve and bring awareness of the

different breeds. An EPD program should be started for each

breed, EPD stands for “Expected Progeny Difference”. There are

different programs out there that can be purchased by the breed

associations to start collecting the data. In order for each associa-

tion to get this off the ground there needs to be a commitment by

individual owners to participate, also the owners have to own at

least 5 cows so there can be meaningful comparison when the data

is analyzed. While sitting there listening to the presentation there

PRESIDENT’S REPORT

JUNE 2015


were many thoughts running thorough my mind (that’s hard to do for most men, me included), the

thoughts were how many Dexter owners with 5 cows would be willing to commit, what are the exact re-

quirements, is there any equipment needed, who would have access to this information, how many years

would it take before we could see results and how would this be a benefit to the Dexter breed. As we all

know Dexter owners are mostly retired that own small parcels of land that they are only interested in pro-

ducing enough meat for them, a few friends, and possibly a few unrelated customers. We could say that as

far as the “Niche Breed” description goes Dexter cattle are the “Niche Breed of the Niche Breed Category

”.

There is the other side some owners want the Dexter breed to be recognized for their characteristic traits

as a dual-purpose animal without being dramatically discounted and accepted in the mainstream market.

These owners want to see owners with a large land base owning large herds of Dexter cattle. This will only

happen when wide spread public awareness of the qualities of the Dexter breed that will cause a strong

demand for Dexter beef. How are Dexter owners going to accomplish this when the CDCA doesn’t have

the financial resources, an extra large number of experienced long term owners in ownership and age, as

well as a large youthful membership that are willing to take on roles the older members don’t have the en-

ergy to carry on with but still wish to own and be part of the Dexter breed.

I think getting involved with collecting EPD data is a start, but will take several years before we can see

positive results. Also the CBBC Niche committee wants each breed association to give a list of 3 to 5 goals

they would like to see for breed improvement. Here are 7 goals the CDCA board came up with at the last

meeting. 1) Feed efficiency Project, more precise than the Olds Steer-a-Year, 2) Funding for A1, A2 milk

testing, 3) Ultra Sound Funding, for testing of rib eye, etc, 4) Classification, for body confirmation, udders,

feet, scrotal size etc, 5) Grass fed scoring for beef animals, 6) EPD Program Funding and an extensive in-

formation package to help breed association get started. 7) Marketing Funding and promotion. Will these

goals fit in with some of the goals of other Niche breed associations; hopefully as similar goals will have

the backing of numbers.

Hope to see many of you at the AGM near Ottawa on Saturday, Aug 8th.

Quarterly Report Well, it has certainly been an eventful last quarter. So many things have happened and I have so many thoughts and ideas to share. It is sad that I have been asked to limit this report to 90,000 words. Just joking! However, seeing how I have been, and continue to be swamped with never ending work (sad life as a tired farmer and full time worker), I will keep to a few details of what occurred last quarter. Firstly, I would like to inform you all of the passing of my grandmother, she was 96. She was such an inspiration to so many of us and will be missed terribly. I remember as a child attending a fu-neral and a quote was spoken during a eulogy. It went something like “When we lose a loved one here on earth, we gain an angel in heaven that watches over us. May you take comfort in knowing that you have an angel to watch over you now”. Those words have stuck with me over the years and I certainly reflect on them as I think of my grandmother. On a more upbeat note, I attended another Canadian Livestock Records Corporation Annual General Meeting, which I believe has been my second within a three year period. Very interesting discussions took place and I am glad to see the commitment and dedication from the members in establishing an improved action plan that will hopefully place it on a stable footing. I strive for on-going education and have immensely enjoyed reading up on, and communicating about the Dexter heritage. It is so important that we share and pass on small breed information to future generations. I only wish that when I was a child, we had the resources of knowledge availa-ble to us like we do today. Who knew that something called “Google” could be so valuable for knowledge sharing and research. When I was younger, knowledge was shared by neighbors and lessons learned were usually established by hardships of working the land and livestock. Every winter under the six feet of snow that graciously falls on my farm, I ask myself why I live in the country. Sometimes small-town life can get you down, however I have to remember that “Hay Season” is around the corner and I can once again enjoy the tranquility that my little farm brings to my life. Besides, there are also many other benefits such as supporting local vendors. Shopping locally is not just a pleasure, it's sometimes is the only option. This year I was blessed with calves being delivered in -28 degree weather, one being very appropriately named “Frosty”. What more can someone ask for? I write to you with the excitement of a new acquisition on my farm. I have recently acquired a new bull that I will pick up within the coming weeks. He will certainly be a nice addition to my herd. This past quarter I have had many visitors from family and friends and continue to enjoy company that just lands in for a quick chat (please bring pie). Of course with the warmer weather upon us, my city friends venture to the country to lounge for the day before they venture back to the busy city lives. This year, I plan on hosting many BBQ’s. I have my eye on a new Wood Fire Pro Grill, apparently I will have options to smoke, grill and even bake outdoors. Just amazing! I am a huge fan of outdoor cooking mostly to enjoy the fresh country air, and to avoid my house heating up. Anyways, I think I have hit my word max and need to get back to my never ending chores.

Happy Spring and early summer to all Dexter owners and breeders! I am glad to report that prices seem to be going up, making our breed more sustainable. While I appreciate the dual-purpose-ness, it’s wonderful to get good prices for beef, to help cover costs and to reinvest in the breed. Interesting times for the Association, we’ve become a member of the Canadian Beef Breeds Council, in part to see what the council can help us with, possibly collecting and recording statis-tics and working towards improvement of the breed, or joining in with other Niche breeds on sim-ilar projects. They are also active in participating in discussions about the Animal Pedigree Act, and facilitated a meeting to find out and disperse information. Look for the link to the CBBC news-letter elsewhere in this newsletter. As most of our CDCA members are not huge ranches, collecting statistics is difficult; also, to know what our members want to know or find out. If you have any good ideas for projects, or data col-lection (EPD’s, feed efficiency, etc,) please respond to our President. Adrian has attended the CBBC meetings on our behalf and is active on the Niche Breed committee. Dexters bring a lot to the beef world, although we would never want to lose the duality of being a good milk producer as well. Many of our Association members have a Dexter for milk for the fami-ly and the dairy quality is important to maintain in the breed. If the CBBC can help, it would be good to start collecting information such as birth weights and scrotal circumference (apparently bigger is better….) and other statistics that can be documentation and validation in the larger world of cattle. As an owner of Dexter cattle for 24 years, I know what I appreciate about the breed! On another note, two of our Director’s terms are ending this summer, and if you are interested in letting your name stand for nomination, please contact one of the Directors or our President, Adrian Hykaway. The AGM is being held in Ontario this August, and we look forward to having members present. As the Director responsible for Promotional items, I will plan to have a selec-tion of items there to purchase…. Have a great summer, Cathy Heinzelman

Tidbits

Great Granddaughter 8 yrs old, stayed overnight. In the

morning she asked, “Gramma, can I use the timer on

the bathroom counter while I brush my teeth ?” Yes, I

said, you turn it upside down so the sand is on the top,

then you start brushing your teeth. When she came

downstairs later, Gramma asks “Did you brush your

teeth until the timer was done?” Oh, no, she said,” I

beat it.”

Spring was slow in coming to us in Ontario and has been extremely dry to date. We’re watching pastures dry up and wondering what our hay yields will be like if we don’t get rain soon. We’re half way through calving with 4 bulls and 1 heifer on the ground. We’re especially excited this year as these calves are the first offspring from the bull we imported from Silver Maple Dexters of Ne-braska back in 2013. We’re impressed with how the Silver Maple Dexter genetics are already evi-dent in the depth of rib, stature and muscling of the calves. As Dexter owners, we are all looking for ways to better our herd, specifically improving their con-firmation and their functionality. Recently, I received an inquiry from one of our members as to where to find examples of traits and what the ideals look like. We use the Classification Program that was developed by the American Dexter Association to evaluate our herd, and find it user friendly and easy to follow. The document outlines how to evaluate your animals’ conformational strengths and weaknesses and pays special attention to the areas that impact the animal’s func-tionality, longevity, and ability to produce. Consider printing off the score sheet and evaluating your animals against the ideal Dexter traits. Assessing your animals helps you to improve your herd and the overall Dexter breed by continuing to breed for improvement of desirable conformational characteristics. You can find the document at: www.kansasdexters.com/ADCA%20CDP/ADCA_Classification_Program_Document.html We’d be interested in hearing from you after you’ve used the tool. Did you find it helpful? What did you learn? Let us know what you thought of the process once you’ve had the chance to evalu-ate some of your animals. By working together and sharing tools and experiences, we will be able to have a positive impact on the traits and functionality of our herds.

This is my last report as a director. It has been interesting with meetings east and west. I have en-joyed meeting everyone that I have met during these travels and hope to continue to meet new people and promote the breed. Hopefully the travelling can continue as well. This year we have only had 8 cows calve as the older girls seem to be taking a break. One of them is on her second year of not calving so will very likely end up in the freezer as a whole wack of ground beef. We sold a couple, and sorry Willie, they were my Rocky cows. I believe they went to an excel-lent home (back to Alberta) and will be the start of a herd for some new breeders. The one gave they a red heifer exactly a week after they got her home. I had been wanting a heifer from that cow and in the few years that we had them she only gave me boys. It usually works that way. I do have a heifer from the other one, but she is a black girl. Any of my reds that were born here have either been bulls, died or have sold them. This year we have three red calves, three dun and two black, with an even split of bulls and heifers. On May 31, we transported the herd to their summer pasture. As of yet I haven't gotten the bull out and will probably be able to hold back as I haven't gotten away to find one yet. I know where I am going to get one but haven't gotten there yet. Moving the cows is a fun filled day of family bonding as daughters, (Connie and Tina) come home to help out with the tattooing and tagging, as well as the loading and hauling. The grandkids get to play together and with any baby animals that are in the yard at the time. We still have our lake to the south of us and is seems to have gone down some this year, although we were wondering. The spring runoff had the water going over two roads this year and spanning across three quarters of land. We are thinking that we should maybe be stocking it with fish as there are fresh water shrimp in it. Could be fun just going into what used to be pasture and fish for sup-per. If this water ever does go down we will be fencing for quite a while as the ice and water have pulled all the cross fences. We have also started a Facebook page to advertise our animals for sale and to keep everyone up to date on what is happening around the farm. This has been a method of marketing that we have been using since last fall when we had beef for sale. For those that are on Facebook, you can check it out by searching Black Gold Miniatures. Well I guess I should stop rambling on now and say it has been a pleasure to serve as a director for you, and thanks for the opportunity to expand my horizons. I will keep in touch as I will be remain-ing as the editor of the newsletter, so until next time, have a great summer!

Williamstown Fair “Rare & Heritage Breeds Display”

The Williamstown Fair, Canada’s Oldest Annual Fair, is pleased to be the home of one of Canada’s

largest displays of Rare and Heritage Breeds. This project was created after one of the Fair directors

observed the RBC display at the 2011 Fair, where three or four animals were contained in a makeshift

pen, outdoors in the blazing sun and in an area most unsuitable for proper viewing by visitors.

In speaking to RBC representatives on site, they assured this director of their support if the St. Law-

rence Valley Agricultural Society was to provide a suitable facility they would bring volunteers togeth-

er to assist with stocking a large display with Heritage Livestock and the manning of the display

throughout the annual Fair.

After many meetings with an energetic group of Rare Breeds enthusiasts, an application was sent off

to the Provincial Ministry of Tourism and Culture for funding to purchase a 60’ X 40’ event tent and

the professionally designed stalls in which to house some 26 different breeds of livestock. The grant

application was approved in the amount of some $26,000 and the Fair Board contributed the remain-

der necessary to purchase everything needed to make the display a reality for the 2012 Fair.

From the very first day the display was open, it has been the most popular display the annual Fair and

has been visited by thousands of people each and every year. While RBC helped in the first year, the

members of the Heritage Livestock Club of Eastern Ontario continue to be the support group for this

display each year and are presently working on plans for the Fair this coming August. Many members

of the Club provide their Heritage livestock and many others provide the manual labour and interpre-

tive services for all the visitors over the three days of the Fair.

Some of the Heritage livestock visitors can see are, Tamworth pigs, Large Black pigs, Guernsey cows,

Dexter cattle, Lineback cattle, Newfoundland ponies, Canadien horses, Tunis sheep, Oberhasli goats,

Indian runner ducks, various breeds of turkeys and chickens, Highland cattle, and many other breeds

of livestock. With many consumers now becoming more discriminating when purchasing food, the

interest in these breeds is growing rapidly. As many of the Heritage breeds are hardy and disease re-

sistant, they are often the choice of the farmer running a hobby or small mixed farm. We have wit-

nessed exceptional growth in interest in these breeds in eastern Ontario.

In addition to this display, members of the Heritage Livestock Club hold a “Heritage Livestock Poster

Contest” which is open to students aged 8 to 16 years. This contest has proven popular as the Agri-

cultural Society has provided prize money for the winning posters. It is hoped through the research

necessary to create the posters, students will develop and interest in Heritage Livestock at the same

time.

We invite all Heritage Livestock enthusiasts to come visit our 204th Williamstown Fair on August 7th,

8th & 9th this year and come share some time with other likeminded folks in the tent.

FROM THE SECRETARY

It was good to have Ian Payne and Adrian and Rita Hykaway attend the Canadian Livestock Records Corporation Annual Meeting in Ottawa in April. I also attended, and after 15 years of being responsi-ble for organizing the details of those meetings in my role as General Manager, it was relaxing to just attend and visit with the various breed representatives. As the result of a couple of instances that have arisen at Canadian Livestock Records Corporation re-cently, I would like to emphasize to members of the CDCA the importance of submitting applications for transfer of animals that you sell as soon as possible after the sale. According to the Animal Pedi-gree Act, it is the seller’s responsibility to submit applications for transfer within 6 months after the date of sale. Doing so eliminates the possibility of papers being lost before the transfer is done. Also, if you sell an animal that is not yet registered, you have the responsibility to ensure that the ani-mal has been properly tattooed or tagged with official metal ear tags, and to complete the application for registration and transfer. Again it is really the seller’s responsibility to submit this application to Canadian Livestock Records Corporation, but if a condition of the sale was that the buyer would regis-ter the animal, then they will at least have the paperwork required to do so. Taking the actions I have outlined will prevent your inexperienced buyer from having to contact CLRC to determine what they must do to get the registration papers for their animals, and the frustration they feel when the process is explained to them, especially if the animal is not tattooed, or if the dam has not yet been transferred to the ownership of the person who owned the calf at birth. Remember you were a new owner once, and hopefully your seller provided all your registration papers in a time-ly manner. Summer will soon be upon us, and I hope all CDCA members are able to enjoy some deserved vaca-tion time, maybe even scheduled around the CDCA Annual Meeting in Ontario. I look forward to see-ing many members here in Eastern Ontario for the meeting this year. Before that, my wife and I have plans to visit Newfoundland and Labrador, the only one of the provinces that we have never visited.

WHAT’S UP?

Miss Shadow soaking up the sun.

JUNE 2015

GENERAL - The Dexter is a dual purpose

animal with both beef and dairy qualities.

In judging, both of these qualities are es-

sential.

COLOUR - Whole black, red and dun. All

colours are of equal merit. A small amount

of white is allowed but only on the under-

line, udder area, organs of generation and

the tassel of the tail. White forward of the

navel should be strongly discouraged.

HEAD – Broad between the eyes tapering

gracefully toward a broad muzzle. Strong

jaws with an even bite. Eyes bright and

prominent. Nostrils should be wide and

distended. Size of the head in proportion

to the body.

NECK - blending well into the shoulders,

thick but not too short. Head should be

carried well above the spine.

HORNS - Dexters may be horned or polled.

When not disbudded, dehorned or polled

the horns should be moderately thick with

an inward¸ slightly upward curve. Bulls

should not have as much of an upward

curve as the cow. The removal of the

horns should not be penalized in the show

ring.

BODY – Breast prominent, chest floor wide,

well sprung ribs, wide across loin, quar-

ters thick and deep, broad hips, well

rounded fleshy rump. Straight level top-

line with the tail set level with the spine.

When viewed from the rear, tail should

run straight from the spine. Straight level

underline. Good width between the front

and back legs. Legs should be moderate

length in proportion to body size, squarely

placed under the body, wide apart and

perpendicular when views from the rear.

Feet should have short toes, be deep

heeled, and level soled. The length of the

back from shoulder to tail set should be

the same or greater than the height of the

animal at the shoulder.

Cows – Udder should be well attached,

high and wide rear attachment, car-

ried well forward. Teats of medium

size, well placed in the udder, hang

plumb and are of equal size. Strong

medial suspensory ligament.

Bulls – well hung testicles of even size,

scrotum long and well away from the

body.

SKIN – loose and pliable, hair short and sleek

in summer, longer and thicker in winter.

WEIGHT AND SIZE - as dual purpose ani-

mals, Dexters should not be overly short

and leggy. Overly short animals cause

milking problems and possible mating

problems. Leggy animals lose the beefy

qualities. Both extremes should be strong-

ly discouraged.

Cows – at four years old, cows should not

exceed 850 pounds. Height should be

between 36 and 44 inches at the hip.

Bulls – at four years old, bulls should not

exceed 1100 pounds. Height should be

between 38 and 46 inches at the hip.

Overly large and tall animals or ex-

tremely small, short animals are to be

strongly discourages as suitable

breeding stock. Dexters in Canada are

eligible for registration in accordance

with the rules set out in the Canadian

Dexter Cattle Association Constitu-

tion.

NOTE: Guidelines are for breeding, se-

lecting and judging purposes.
