From Our Pasture to Yours, As another summer comes to a close, we find ourselves looking back on the past few months of early mornings, long days, and plenty of time spent watching this year’s calf crop develop. There is something pretty special about seeing a group of young stock grow from the ground up, and we are grateful for every opportunity to do just that. To our customers, thank you for putting your trust in Saskvalley Stock Farm and for allowing our bulls to become part of your programs. We truly appreciate the conversations, the friendships, and the updates we hear throughout the year about how your cattle are working. As the days get shorter and the evenings get a little cooler, we are looking forward to fall shows. Barry will be attending a few to promote measuring feed efficiency.

Now is also a great time to take a day off to visit your friends and neighbours, and go see your favourite breeder at a show or sale, and to pick up some new genetics for your herd.

CSA President’s Message I am reminded that I need to submit a President’s Message, and I look and see that the fall equinox is only four days away. On September 23rd, we will have equal amounts of daylight and darkness. This means we will have less and less daylight to work with for the next three months, and then it will be officially winter. Already, I see some trees preparing for winter, with leaves changing colour and beginning to fall. I hope that the summer was good for you. Talking with members across the country, I know that there have been trying times over the last few months. For some it was too wet and for some too dry. The perfect year from start MARTIN MASON to finish only comes along about one in ten. I hope you all have enough feed on President & Ontario Director hand to make it through the winter. Drumbo, ON This is the time of year when, as Shorthorn breeders, we need to take the 519-771-7066 opportunity to look back and reflect. Have our past breeding and farming martin.mason@redrosefarm.com decisions met up to our goals and expectations? It is perhaps the time when RICHARD MOELLENBECK we have to make some difficult decisions, perhaps decisions we have avoided Past-President & Saskatchewan making before. It’s a time to evaluate the breeding value of the sires we are using.

With a passion to help Juniors, Coldstream has sponsored the Emerson Clarke Memorial Jr Show at the RAWF in Toronto since 2021. It has grown to be the largest beef show at the fair. Coldstream has hosted summer shorthorn picnics and workshops at the farm and Don now sits on the Ontario Shorthorn Board. This year Don was part of an Ontario Jr. Show committee that organized the first class where EPD’s would be included in an overall score, similar to the EDGE shows in Oklahoma and Denver. “When progressive cattleman are making breeding decisions, they look for both performance and data.”
In 2016 a farm one mile north of the home place was purchased and the old barn was renovated and the fields were fenced. While the land is rolling it is good for beef cows. It is not crop land, so only forage is grown for the cowherd. Coldstream doesn’t even own a grainery. The pastures on the farm have a backdrop of the Beaver Valley that runs north to Georgian Bay. Now there was a place to build a herd. The hobby was getting out of control and Don was loving it. AI was used from the beginning and the first herd bull used was a son of Muridale Buster 14K. More heifers were added from Horseshoe Creek and Hill Haven. Offspring from MAV Bayou 136Y crossed well with the existing stock but the big move genetically came at the 2021 Cattleman’s Congress in Oklahoma when Coldstream purchased the high performance bull, Waukaru Pendleton While they have won numerous banners at shows in both 0061. This bull would add unprecedented performance, eastern and western Canada, and steadily improved the muscle and style to his offspring and brought the herd into EPD’s of their stock, one achievement that was especially contention in both phenotype and genotype.

This winter they look forward to the birth of a number of ET calves that will introduce new genetic opportunities for both their herd and their customers. While striving to continually improve genetics can be a rewarding challenge, probably the best part of being involved in the Shorthorn fraternity is the host of breeders and customers who are now considered friends through their association with this great breed. Friends, family and neighbours have all played a part in any success the farm has enjoyed over the years. The folks at Coldstream wouldn’t have it any other way. enjoyable was the performance of their group of bulls entered in the 2025 Manitoba Bull Test. They won the high indexing bull, the Breeders Pick and the high selling bull of the sale. Coldstream usually shows at a number of fairs each year. In 2024 they won every group class at Agribition. Don was invited to judge Shorthorns in Scotland in 2018 and travelled with his brother and sister to the home country for the event. In 2025 Coldstream hosted the Shorthorn World Congress for a dinner and farm tour where new friends were made and ideas shared.
