Lakeland College welcomed approximately 300 dignitaries, supporters, and area residents to the Grand Opening of their new $8.2 million Animal Health Clinic in Vermilion on September 7. The cutting-edge facility will offer students access to approximately $1.3 million in innovative equipment including canine and feline SynDaver models, realistic equine models, a direct digital radiography x-ray system, and a bovine ultrasound machine with BCF universal goggles. Lakeland College will be the first organization in Alberta to use the synthetic canine cadaver for training, and the first in the world to use SynDaver’s CopyCat synthetic feline cadaver for training. During the tour, Mike Rhiness from SynDaver in Calgary even encouraged guests to feel the pulse of the synthetic canine cadaver. “You can replicate things they may not normally have access to, mimick-

ing the properties of a live dog,” said Rhiness. The 14,531 sq. ft. facility is designed to reflect an operational clinic and will be used as a student-led clinic. The building features increased lab space, animal wards, a dental lab, and a modern surgical suite. The building has monumental upgrades in comparison to the old building which was built in the 1960’s and was originally a barn. With room for an additional 30 animal health technology and veterinar y medical assistant students among its’ primarily users, some of the labs will also be utilized by students in other programs at Lakeland College. “People and society are healthier with animals. The programs here are so well run with professionalism and heart. When you have a facility like this, the quality of graduates is beyond where they are today. Because they have learned to strengthen the bond between people and animals and care for these

animals in a humane, proper, and caring way, they will go on to be leading clinics,” said MLA Dr. Richard Starke. Minister of Advanced Education, Marlin Schmidt, sent a congratulatory letter on behalf of Premier Notley, and MP Shannon Stubbs wrote, “This facility is an amazing advancement for Lakeland College.” Lakeland College President and CEO, Alice Wainwright-Stewart noted that the project was completed within 16 months and said, “The clinic is our latest example of innovation and excellence. On behalf of Lakeland College, thank you to the Government of Canada, Government of Alberta, and all of our supporters. Hailey LaFrance, second-year animal health technology student, already completed the veterinary medical assistant program in the old clinic said, “Lakeland College has the best veterinary technician program out there. I’m grateful to be a part of this experience and am looking forward to broadening

my skill set. By using this brand new equipment, I will acquire skills that I will carry with me into the workforce.”

Children leaped of f the bus with excitement for their first day of school in Vermilion on September 4. At Vermilion Elementary School, Principal Calvin Anhorn and Vice Principal Sheila Doherty enjoyed welcoming everyone. â€œThis is my favourite day of the year!â€? said Doherty. According to Principal, Allan Chase, the first day of school at St. Jeromeâ€™s was also very exciting.Â He explained that leadership students had already been in decorating and preparing activities. Thus, on the first day, every child, parent and staff member was greeted by leadership students with a warm welcome, a snack and a helping hand for anyone

Apple Spice Snacking Cake

Dawn Hames Columnist

It’s back to school, and harvest time all at once. Some busy moms are dealing with both while working their day job. Kudos to you. Whipping up a snacking cake is much easier than making an elaborate layer cake, or an angel food cake or a chiffon cake from scratch. This is a great rustic cake that has been around since our great grandma’s time. It is a cake that uses simple ingredients that are commonly found in most households. It travels well out to the field and cuts up nicely for school lunches. You can bake one up for

Dear Editor, Li ste n U p Ver m ili o nite s. A ll t h e t a x p ay i n g c i t i z e n s a n d b u s i n e s s community will have to DIG in their pockets deeper to not only pay MORE for our water supply and sewer services but also for our future taxes on all the homes and businesses. WHY? The town council has been given a directive by the Provincial Government to replace the existing sewage facility because it no longer can handle suf ficiently Vermilion’s sewer amounts. The Alberta Government is giving $8 million for the approximately $16 million project. Guess What? The town has to come up with the rest of the cost. Of course, where does town council go? To all of us. We are not against this important project because we all need our sewer systems to work properly. What ‘rankles our hide’ is the fact that the Mayor and councilors have spent too many tax dollars irresponsibly when

casual entertaining or last minute when you have guests coming over. It goes great with a good cup of coffee or tea and some friends. A snacking cake is a farm staple, perfect for both seeding and harvest times. There are many versions, but what there usually all have in common is that they are hearty, quick to make and are served cut into squares. There are banana oatmeal, chocolate, apple spice, raisin spice, banana walnut and other variations. They usually all contain oatmeal, with a unique technique in which the oatmeal is first softened by pouring hot water on it and then letting it cool. Do not use old-fashioned slow cooking rolled oats, but instead use the quick cooking variety of oats for this

Letter To The Editor

the economy was more vibrant, and there were monies in the town coffers. Without a doubt, the addition of industrial land south of Tim Hortons did add valuable businesses for the buying public. Also, the new signage to help people navigate in Vermilion was worthwhile. The addition of extra space in the Town Hall was a wise decision. The beautification of down town Vermilion was considered by many a PLUS. BUT then there are examples of UNWISE expenditures. No. 1 - the Yellowhead Industrial Park (the development of land south of the Vermilion Veterinary Clinic); No. 2 - the purchase of the downtown property of Webb’s Ford Ltd. for $1.2 million (was there any truth to the supposed renters that were going to offset this cost???) No.3 - the constant PURCHASING of new Vehicles for town employees to use eg. a new utility deck truck for picking up waste.

Vermilion Rock Senior Hockey Team 2018 - 2019 SEASON

the recent town council idea that a new chunk of land at the Brennan site has to be DEVELOPED for new home construction. REALLY!!! Another Huge Expenditure. Has town council got numerous future home owners “chomping at the bit’ definitely waiting to buy a lot or 2 to build new residences? Or will council AGAIN spend copious amounts of dollars just for speculation? Will the tax-payers of Vermilion have another ALBATROSS across their backs like the Yellowhead Industrial Park? The fact that the towing company relocated to the Park is very, very minuscule. As senior citizens, we are fed up with the rising costs of being a home owner in Vermilion. Yet, we want to live in ‘OUR TOWN’ of 56 years. If you have concerns about the way the Mayor and Council and the CAO Manager and the financial manager and the public works manager, etc. etc. are making decisions on our behalf, then let them know. Write letters, make phone calls, at tend town council meetings, but PLEASE DO SOMETHING. Sincerely Lillian (Lil) Kohn

The councillors of Vermilion better get a grip that ‘money does not grow on trees’ for all the taxpaying residents. For many, the increased utility billings and higher tax bills cause hardship all year long. Isn’t it funny that Vegreville buys the used garbage trucks from Vermilion so as to collect the garbage from their dumpsters. How come Vegreville town council didn’t think it was necessary to go to individual black dumpsters? Do we have to follow our nearest City of Lloydminster in disposing of ALL WASTE materials? Vermilion DOES NOT have the same financial base. So it is high time the Mayor and Councillors began to be very prudent in their expenditures. For one, our council members should assess constantly the performance of all town employees. Many occasions town employees do not perform their duties as expediently and professionally as they should. Without doubt, their wages are fair enough. Are anyone of the entire town employees working for $16.00 an hour? If you do, come and see me. My last big concern has to do with

2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon ginger 1/4 teaspoon cloves or allspice 1 cup grated apple 1 cup flour 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 cup raisins (optional) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add the hot water to the oatmeal and stir, and then set aside to cool. Cream together the butter and brown sugar. Beat in the eggs, spices, and vanilla. Beat in the oatmeal water mixture. Beat in the flour and baking powder. Stir in the raisins. Turn into a buttered 8 x8 metal baking pan and bake for 35 -40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Served cooled, with or without icing, or warm with ice cream.

I use my electric hand held beater to make this cake, and it is done in no time. I love it because there is no artificial anything.

There are a few idioms that go along with this phrase…a couple come to mind like spor ts for one, and another about behaving in a fair and honest way, golden rule stuff you wish everyone did all the time. But that isn’t what this column is about, although just those two examples are pretty darn fertile ground for long conversations. Or long arguments. What I’m talking about is gaming (video and software) and about how it’s gone from the simplest commercial expression in something like ‘Pong’ to the juggernaut that now surpasses Holly wood in economic clout. Even the beginnings of eGaming as a competitive money-making s p or t…and the re c ent sho oting in Jacksonville, Florida at a gaming tournament, which leads me to write about how gaming is influencing us. How

Playing The Game

does any of this connect to V-Town?… well there is a small connection so stick around to the end. I’m sure most people now have some expression of video games on a PC, console, tablet, or smartphone. What has really changed, in say the last ten years or so, is how you can literally take them with you everywhere, which is why you can understand gaming evolving into a massive industry it has become. Every slac k five - m inute p ie c e of t im e i s potential for a game to provide distraction and fill the boredom: I see people playing Sudoku on their phone somewhere pretty much every day. When people first saw Pong in the 70’s, it was a rudimentary electronic curiosity but it had that built-in ‘fun factor’ in its gameplay that is the key attraction sought for with incessantly and increasing effort in every subsequent game to this very date. However with ’Pong’, once you got past the skill of putting ‘English’ on the small square sprite that was an excuse for a ball,

you wouldn’t confuse it with any game of real Tennis. Now I can go downstairs to play tennis on the ‘Wii’ and feel immersed enough in swinging that ‘racquet’ controller against the vir tual opponent ’s barrage that you finish the game both physically tired and mentally defeated like the real deal. Now our first home ‘console’ was ordered from the app store of the day, the Sears Christmas Catalog, a ‘clone’ version of Pong, with hockey and rac ing o ptions, whic h we had hooked to our first B&W TV, a wooden console job with a built-in LP record player. Furniture in other words, and not exactly mobile, but for someone born back then the height of technology. Now it wasn’t too long before gaming was making a visible influence in public hereabouts…I remember at one time Vermilion had five different places you could call an ‘arcade’. Yes, FIVE. I remember playing on an original ‘Asteroids’ cabinet at Buck’s Taxi of all places, and a mint milkshake

and a game of ‘Wild Western’ at the Ponderosa was a par ticular favorite. By 1985 the first class offering of ‘Computer Processing 10’ was offered at J.R. Robson High, and a few young Vermilionite minds were thinking they were going to be the next big game programmers right then and there. Now I don’t know where electronic gaming is going, even after being a gamer for so many years and witnessing it from pretty much the very beginning, but its influence is coming in to places I would never have expected. Enacting elements of game theory is creeping into where people have any sort of interaction or engagement with computer systems which these days means…well…everywhere. And even into conversations around my workplace, where when I started I wouldn’t have expected it. Ironically…a couple people in those conversations of game theory students from that very same first J.R. Robson computer class. You just never know.

September, A Focus On World Suicide Prevention

Walking Through Grief Society Submitted

The theme for 2017 was “Take a minute, - change a life,” 2018’s theme is a further challenge to “Working Together to Prevent Suicide.” The question is, What can we do in 60 seconds? Could this time be used to reach out to someone in crisis? Can we learn something about suicide, those who are suicidal, survivors and our part in supporting and perhaps preventing suicide? Did you know that every life lost represents someone’s partner, child, parent friend or colleague. For each suicide, approximately 135 people suffer intense grief or are otherwise affected.

BOOKS FOR BELIZE

Preventing suicide is often possible, and you are a key player in its prevention! You can make a difference as a child, a parent, a friend, a colleague or a neighbour. Raise awareness, educate yourself by taking ASIST or Mental Health First Aid courses that are offered. Show compassion and care for those who are in distress in your community. Learn m ore about mental illness and mental health problems. Who has a part in preventing suicide? Are you a person that can be part of the prevention role? Preventing Suicide requires the efforts of many. It takes family, friends, co-workers, community members educators, religious leaders,

Town Council

Angela Mouly Reporter

Ver m i l i o n Tow n C o u n c i l m et o n September 4, discussing the Airport Master Plan and upcoming opportunities and events in Vermilion. The Town of Vermilion received proposals from five companies regarding the Airpor t Master Plan, rang ing from $24,850 to $63,900. Council carried the motion to accept the proposal from Operations Economics Inc. for $24,850 with at 10 per cent contingency. Derek Young, Director of Infrastructure and Planning Services, noted that the recommendation was based on being a better fit for the town, addressing some of the outcomes that they are looking for so that the town can,

in turn, go forward with grant applications through the provincial or federal governments. “The Airport Master Plan will include suppor ting documentation that will justify the need for improvement, identify its uses and how beneficial it is to the community. We have a registered airport which is often seen as a real economic driver in the communit y. For example, in the past, the Vermilion Airport has seen farmers from other areas fly in for parts. We want to ensure that the Vermilion Airport continues to be usable for medevacs and recreational flyers, as well as encourage airpor t businesses and ser vices to utilize our facility, ensuring that it is maintained to current standards. What set Operations Economics

The Vermilion Voice | September 11, 2018

Inc.’s proposal apart were the economic growth opportunities and ways to diversify,” said Young. The Airport Master Plan will address the condition of the runway, the possibility of upgraded lighting, and mitigating risks with the elevator at the end of the runway. It will also address the need for fuel, and other possibilities such as providing bicycles for flyers that land in Vermilion, unique fly-in residential models, or potential businesses such as aircraft engineers, or airplane sales. “The Vermilion River Flying Club is an integral part of this process. To have an active user group giving us feedback for what’s needed, and putting in volunteer hours is an asset,” said Young. D ur i n g r o u n d t a b l e d i s c u s s i o n s Mayor, Caroline McAuley mentioned

that she had received a letter from Les Hagen, Action on Smoking and Health Canada’s Executive Director, congratulating Vermilion on their recent smoking bylaw specifically because it was one of the few municipalities who identified parks and children’s areas as nonsmoking. Apparently he will go on to present Vermilion’s model in Camrose. Mayor McAuley also noted that Gerald Aalbers, Mayor of the City of Lloydminster, will be speaking to the federal Minister of Transportation, in regards to the possibility of Via Rail servicing our communities in lieu of the upcoming absence of Greyhound. Councillor Clint McCullough said that things are going well with the ACE Regional Water System currently underway in Marwayne and Islay.

UCP Open House

Angela Mouly Reporter

Gar th Rowswell hosted an Open House for the United Conser vative Party (UCP) at the Vermilion Super 8 Hotel on September 4. He also held one in Lloydminster on September 5, and one in Wainwright on September 6. Rowswell is a nomination contestant for the Vermilion-Lloydminster-Wainwright Constituency, and enjoyed the opportunity to meet with constituents discussing their concerns and sharing why he wants to serve. A lot of encouragement was given for constituents to register as a member of the UCP. “ M em ber ships are nee d e d r ig ht away because they have to be registered 21 days before polling begins and the voting for nominations takes place. There will be three polling stations in the constituency; one in Vermilion, one in Lloydminster, and one in Wainwright, and they are expected some-

time in October,” said Rowswell. He mentioned that there are currently four nomination c andid ates regis tered with Elections Alberta, and that they may see as many as six people running. The new constituency boundaries include the County of Vermilion River and the M.D. of Wainwright. Rowswell has enjoyed introducing himself to constituents, and recalled going to a chili cook-off in Edgerton, and knocking on doors in Chauvin and Wainwright. “People are people; they’ve got similar problems,” said Rowswell. A main topic of discussion at the Open House was rural crime. He noted that he knew it was an issue and was grateful for suggestions of what to do. According to Rowswell, a retired RCMP officer attended and mentioned that the largest deterrent to rural crime is the fear of apprehension. Rowswell believes that policies are impor tant to get right because they

can have a significant impact on our lives. He explained that this might mean different things to different people. “I would like to represent a model that would have more limited involvement by government. This would require a cost-benefit analysis to be done on everything government does. It would then need to be made public and determined whether or not government needs to be involved, and if it does it should be done in the most productive way,” said Rowswell.

Shannon Stubbs Comments On Emergency Committee Meeting On Trans Mountain Expansion

statement on the emergency meeting of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Natural Resources on Tuesday: “ It has been a tough week. The Liberal failure on Trans Mountain is a blow to our local communities. I’ve been hearing every day from constituents about how shutting down construction on Trans Mountain is hurting their families. Every single Liberal Member of Parliament on the Natural Resources Committee voted to protect the Finance Minister and Minister of Natural Resources from answering questions about the Trans Mountain expansion project. Instead of being transparent with Canadians about the next steps to getting this pipeline built, the Liberals have chosen to hide in the shadows. “The Federal Court of Appeal made it clear in their ruling that the Liberal

cabinet failed to fully consult indigenous peoples, which is ironic, because the Natural Resources Minister, Amarjeet Sohi, was telling the Calg ar y Herald two days before the court ruling that the Liberals were confident they had done extensive consultations and would win the case. The consultations in question were set up, overseen, and extended by the Liberals. This is a personal failure of Justin Trudeau and his cabinet to get Trans Mountain built. “What is worse, it has been almost a week and the Liberals still haven’t taken any action. All that we’ve heard is empty rhetoric. It has become clear the Liberals don’t have a plan. Thousands of Canadian families just learned that the high-paying good jobs they thought they had for the next four years just vanished with the stroke of a pen. These families deserve to hear from the Prime Minister and his cabinet

about the concrete steps this government is going to take to get shovels in the ground, and families back to work. “ O u r C o n s e r v a t i ve c a u c u s h a s continuously been fighting to get this pipeline built! We held emergency debates, held emergency committee meetings, and brought this issue up dozens of times in Question Period. I’ve asked almost 60 questions about Trans Mountain in Question Period this Parliament. “As I said in Ottawa, Albertans are feeling kicked while their down. There is a lot of hurt and betrayal and anger in the oil patch over this Liberal failure. Only an Andrew Scheer led Conservative government can clean up the mess the Liberals have left behind. My Conservative colleagues and I are continuing to fight for the hard working men and women of our oil and gas sector!”

Additional 4-H Sheep Club 2018 Achievement Day Results Clay Corbiere Submitted

The Vermilion 4-H Sheep members’ thoughtfulness was well received by the two recipients of the Charity Lamb Fundraiser held at the club Achievement Day. The $3,000 raised was divided between the Moses Christmas Dinner and Kale for Kaiel. Our members strive to make a difference in their community, and were excited when both of these recipients were chosen. Making Christmas Day special with a warm meal, or helping young Kale feel like a kid will be that much easier with the members charity lamb fundraising efforts. This would not have been possible without the generous buyers that attended on our Achievement Day. Agland first purchased the lamb, then donated it back to be auctioned off again.

It was a busy place at the Lakeland Mall on Thursday, September 6, for the Fall Awareness event. Fall Awareness is an event where non-profit groups are provided an opportunity to explain their group and take registrations from Vermilion and area residents. The event hosted 25 groups, each set up with a table full of displays. The groups targeted a variety of ages and interests, with everything from dance groups to knitting clubs present at the event. One group present was the Vermilion River Archery Club, whose goal is to promote target archery and bow hunting. The group has been running fo r 3 0 ye ar s a n d p r ov i d e s a l l t h e

Another Five Gold Medals At National Seniors Games

Angela Mouly Reporter

Mannville’s Ed Storch, won another five gold medals August 21 - 24, in Saint John, New Brunswick during the Canada 55+ Games. Last year, Storch won his age group at Provincials, qualifying him for this year’s Nationals. His fifth time competing at Nationals, he ran the 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, and one of the legs for the 4 x 100 relay; winning all five races. Though he continues to blacksmith, farm, make knives and teaches making knives, his specialty is in sprinting. He feels that the reason he is faster than his competitors, is that he invests a lot of time in training, and his mother set the ground ahead of

him. She was competitive, and used mental imaging. According to Storch, even in her walker, she’d tell herself, “I’m going to get better every day.” Ten years ago they attended the national games together, and at 96-years-old, she won the gold in javelin, and at 101, she won silver at the Alberta games. “When training at this altitude (2,051 feet above sea level) in Alberta, my legs were still able to go, but I would run out of air. In Saint John, New Brunswick, my legs tired before my lungs. The extra air down there really made a difference; during the 200m race I was three and a half seconds ahead of the second place racer. Olympic athletes will train at a higher altitude to get them better oxygen use,” said Storch.

Storch loves attending nationals because it has allowed him to see different parts of the country, and he enjoys meeting up with competitors he’s met other years. Next year he plans on attending provincials, and will be at the bottom of his age category which he feels will give him an advantage. At 74 years old, he tries to improve but notices that his times get a little longer each year. This year, he ran the 50m in 7.7 seconds, the 100m in 14.6 seconds, the 200 m in 31.2 seconds, and the 400m in 1:18:1 seconds. “On my track, on a hot day when the mosquitoes are bad, it’s easy to second guess myself and say, ‘Why am I doing this?’ but my wife Margaret really gives me a lot of support with nutrition, photography, Five time gold medalist at Canada 55+ Games, Ed Storch.

Don’t Let High Winter Feed Cost Stall Your Herd’s Reproductive Momentum

Beef Cattle Research Council Submitted

Across Canada dry conditions are contributing to a poor hay crop and uncertain feed grain production. Consequently, winter feed costs for cows are moving higher. Planning now for winter feeding provides an opportunity to utilize available feed resources most efficiently. Pregnancychecking and assessing body condition of cows can help you make the best use of available feed to maintain your herd’s reproductive momentum. Reproductive Momentum Reproductive efficiency is a key aspect to cow-calf profitability. Higher reproductive efficiency means fewer cows are maintained to produce the same amount of beef. Conversely, low reproductive efficiency increases the number of replacement heifers needed to maintain or expand the herd and subsequently increases the per unit cost of raising replacement heifers. Establishing and maintaining breeding momentum is important. Once a cow is bred in the first part of the breeding season, she has a greater likelihood of staying bred early in the years to follow. Cows that are bred early will birth calves that have greater potential to gain, resulting in a uniform calf crop and improved profitability. For example, a calf born in the first cycle compared to one born twenty-one days later will have the potential to gain an extra 52.5 lb (i.e. 2.5lb/day) more than its later counterpart. This can result in additional revenue of $100 per calf. Cows return to estrus approximately 50-60 days after calving, yet it takes firstcalf heifers between 80-100 days to return to estrus. This means heifers need to be calving in the first part of the calving season so they are capable of rebreeding early the following year. Ensuring replacement heifers are cycling by 12 months of age and bred 30-42 days before cows will help them to establish positive breeding

momentum and ensure greater herd profitability. Nutrition is the most important factor in cow fertility. Cows that have a low body condition score and/or lose condition after calving return to estrus more slowly and are much less likely to become pregnant than cows in ideal condition. A balanced ration that is sufficient in energy is key to maintaining body condition. Maintaining condition is easier than adding it. Pregnancy-Checking When feed costs are high, no one wants to feed an open cow. By removing open or even late cows from the herd, valuable feed resources can be allocated to productive cows. Preg-checking early will help tighten up your calving season by cutting off late-bred cows (or you could pull bulls early and shorten next year’s calving season). Reproductive efficiency is not the only reason to consider culling. When winter feed costs are high, it can be a good opportunity to cull for temperament, feet, legs, udders, calving issues, low productivity, etc. Removing the bottom end of performance is one of the fastest ways to improve the herd. Although preg-checking costs money ($3-8/head), remember to consider the value this one practice can have on other areas of the cow-calf operation. The overall cost of preg-checking the herd is likely less than it will cost to feed an open cow throughout the winter. The BCRC’s Economics of Pregnancy Testing Calculator will help you decide each year. Higher feed costs are expected to impact all types of winter feeding systems – whether directly through higher purchase price or indirectly through the opportunity cost of lower yields. The chart provides two scenarios for the 2018/19 winter. In Scenario #1, barley and hay costs are up 29% and 18% from last year (based on August 2018 prices versus August 2017). In Scenario #2, barley and hay prices

are up 40% and 23% from last year (based on year to date average price versus the same period last year). The higher feed prices in Scenario #2 show that if feed costs increase further going into the fall, that the benefits from preg-checking and culling all open cows in October (rather than selling in March) increase (compared to Scenario #1) regardless of the winter-feeding system used. To take advantage of the labour available when running these cows through the chute, consider completing a few more tasks (vaccinations, parasite control, body condition scoring) that will make the winter go smoother. Keeping cows in ideal condition to protect reproductive momentum While those cows are in the chute for preg-checking, it is a good time access their fat cover to sort for winter feeding groups. This allows cows to be supplemented through the winter according to their needs. There is no need to feed the entire herd an expensive ration, when only some cows need it. There are generally two groups of cows to consider when going into the winter. Group 1: Those who may need some additional help to get through the winter without losing body condition. This includes (1) the older, thin cows and (2) the first calf heifers which are typically the toughest to

get rebred. The cost of open three-year olds can have a substantial impact on the bottom line. Group 2: The rest of the mature cows. The recently updated interactive productivity and profitability tool based on cows’ body condition shows that cows with an idea body condition score of 3.0 (on a scale of 1-5) high higher pregnancy rates and rebreed up to 30 days sooner than thin cows. Shorting cows on groceries will have negative future implications on fertility and increase the risk of dystocia or difficult birth (according to the Western Canadian CowCalf Surveillance Network). “Balance rations to be ‘best-cost’ rations realizing that they may not be least-cost rations.” According to John Paterson, Montana State University Extension beef specialist, it’s best to “balance rations to be ‘best-cost’ rations realizing that they may not be leastcost rations.” Least cost rations over the short term can in the long-term cost more if they require additional feed to rebuild lost body condition and cow fertility. Taking the time to weigh a group of cows using a scale can help refine rations. Underestimating cow weight by 200 lbs can take a toll on body condition by the end of the winter. Feed testing is another way to ensure resources are utilized effectively. www.BeefResearch.ca

Economic Impact Of Four Strategies To Manage Feed Shortages

Submitted

With a shor tage of feed in various regions of the province, the question specialists at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre hear most often is “what is my best option?” Herman Simons, economics extension specialist at the Ag-Info Centre, compares the financial implications of four different options to manage a feed shortage of 25 per cent for an established herd of 100 cows. “It is very important to understand that each farm is different and therefore doing your numbers as they pertain to your situation is paramount,” says Simons. “In addition, each option has different pros and cons which should be listed and taken into account when determining the best suitable option for your own operation.” Simons is using Net Present Value (NPV) to determine the economic cost and benefit over time for each option. NPV will translate the value of a sum of money in the future in today’s dollars applying a discount rate of five per cent. The assumptions:The objective is to get back to the original size of the herd 100 cows - as quickly as possible, using the following parameters: 100 cows - 1,400 lb. average

Cull cows - $85 per cwt

4 bulls - 2,200 lb. average

Cull bulls - $110 per cwt

15 yearling heifers - 800 lb. average

Heifer price 8 weights $170 per cwt

2.5 per cent DM requirement body weight

Replacement bred heifers - $2,500 per head

Replacement bulls $5,000 per head

Transportation hay $1,500 per load, 6 loads

Transportation livestock - $6.50 loaded mile, 400 miles

Custom feeding rate $3.75 per head per day

Evaluation on impact done over five years

Feed shortage of 25 per cent

AHS Submitted

Option 1: purchase feed The first option is to purchase the additional 25 per cent of feed needed to fee d the full her d of 10 0 c ows. Explains Simons, “There is no reduction in size of herd, so all income and expenses stay the same. In this case, the cost in year one for getting the feed needed would be about $43,000 delivered to the farm. These funds have to be borrowed or cash-flowed from available funds. Either way, associated interest costs are spread over 5 years. The NPV of this option is estimated at negative $46,000.” Option 2: move 25 p er cent of herd to custom feeding “ R at h e r t h a n h au l i n g fe e d , t h i s o p t i o n i s a b o u t h au l i n g a n i m a l s ,” explains Simons. “Take the percentage of cows that is equal to the percentage of your feed shortage - in this case, 25 per cent. Have another producer tend to them at a cost of $3.75 per head per day. Take into account hauling 400 miles, twice. The cash cost is year one is estimated around $32,500, and we will use the same timeline for interest costs. The NPV of this option is estimated at negative $34,500.” Option 3: sell cows and buy back heifers “ To maintain full production, this option is to sell of f 25 per cent of the herd - cows, bulls, and heifers – then replace them with pregnant heifers early into the next season. This replacement will ensure selling the same number of calves by the end of the next production year. The net cash cost in year one of this option is about $20,000. It is the net difference between the purchase price of replacement stock, reduced by the revenue of the sold animals. The NPV is estimated at negative $21,100.” Option 4: sell cows and replace with internal replacement only “With this last option, sell the cows as in option 3, and use only homegrown heifers at a normal replace-

ment rate until the herd is back to its shortage gives the most control, it original size,” explains Simons. “In also seems to be the most expenthis case, a quarter of the herd has sive option in this example.

Back To School Health Checklist

It’s that time of year again. Store shelves are stacked with back-to-school supplies and racks of summer clothes are being replaced with sweaters and long pants. Getting your child ready for the new school year includes stocking up on notebooks, binders and pencils, but there’s more to making the most of the year ahead: taking care of your child’s health. As the most important head-start you can give your child, beginning the year with good health is also simple with this back-to-school health checklist: • Immunization: Ensure your child’s immunizations are up-to-date for his or her age. This is especially important for kids entering kindergarten or elementary school. If your son or daughter is in Grade 5 and/or Grade 9,

also watch for immunization consent forms coming home early in the school year. Remember: your signature on these forms is needed for your child to get his or her important grade 5 and/or grade 9 immunizations. • Vision screening: Have your child’s vision tested before he or she starts kindergarten (ideally by age three) and again every year, until 18 years of age. It’s estimated that up to 80 per cent of learning is visual, so keeping your kid’s eyes healthy goes a long way in encouraging their full learning potential. • Hearing/speech screening: If you suspect your child may have a hearing or speech problem, ask your family doctor for a referral to an audiologist and/or speech specialist. Left untreated, these problems could inter-

fere with your child’s learning. • Dental checkup: Regular dental checkups start early! If your child hasn’t had his or her teeth examined prior to starting school, now is a good time to start. Remember: good oral health is essential to good overall health. Regular checkups and cleanings help detect dental problems early, and ensure your child’s teeth stay healthy for life. • Emergency contacts: Make sure the school has up-to-date emergency numbers for each of your children, including contact information for parents, physicians, etc. • Health conditions: Ensure the school has up-to-date information about any health conditions, allergies or physical impairments your child may have. Also inform the school about any

medications your child takes. • Backpack basics: Your child’s backpack should fit properly and shouldn’t be too heavy for him or her to carry, which means it should weigh no more than 10 to 15 per cent of your child’s body weight. The backpack should have broad shoulder straps and a waist strap that keeps the bag firmly on the spine. Watch for warning signs that the bag may be too heavy, including sore shoulders or changes in posture. • Nutrition plan: Ensure your child has a healthy breakfast before heading to school in the mornings, and help him or her pack a nutritious lunch. Planning meals ahead of time and involving children in planning and preparation can make this task more manageable and fun.

Longstanding Donor To Help Increase Lakeland College Farm

Lakeland College Submitted

The generosity of a donor will provide more opportunities for Lakeland College’s agricultural sciences students to take the lead and grow ag-based research opportunities. Judy Sweet made a $500,000 donation to Lakeland on Thursday, Sept. 6, which will be used to increase Lakeland’s farm land base in the future. This gift builds on Judy’s support of the modernization and expansion of the G.N. Sweet Livestock Research Facility, which officially opened on Oct. 20, 2016 in memory of Judy’s late husband Garth. Students are trained on feed efficiency testing of livestock at the G.N. Sweet Livestock Research Facility by working with faculty and directly with industry. This year, students will work on a project using GrowSafe® automatic feeding equipment and an emerging method using infrared technology. After learning more about Lakeland’s farm operations, as managed by the animal science technology and crop technology students, and attending the students’

farm unit presentations, Judy remained connected with Lakeland and interested in its work to advance agricultural learning. As a proud supporter of the college, Judy wanted to help Lakeland continue its momentum in expanding and modernizing the college farm. “This donation is really about helping Lakeland College address their need to grow their farm operations. This ties into the G.N. Sweet Livestock Research Facility and supports the students, who are eager and already prepared for the real world when they graduate. They could run their own farm, start a new business, advance ag research or take on something else, and they are prepared to do it,” says Judy. “To advance this, you have to have more land.” Animal science technology and crop technology students currently have access to 2,000 student-managed acres of crop and pasture land, hundreds of head of livestock and numerous learning facilities at the Vermilion campus, including the G.N. Sweet Livestock Research Facility. From the inception of Lakeland’s farm operations, as managed by students, nearly 30 years ago, enrolment has grown steadily. Since Lakeland last grew its land base in 2010, the number of animal science technology and crop technology students has increased from 90 to 266 students – an increase of 196 per cent. There are 559 students in seven agricultural sciences programs at the Vermilion campus this fall. “Land is the foundation for our student-led learning model on the college farm. Our intention is to grow our land base in a way that enriches educational opportunities in ag business and research,” says Josie Van Lent, dean of Lakeland’s School of Agricultural Sciences. “We are very grateful to have Judy’s support and to see

her donation going towards a program that supports business and business principles in agriculture. This gift will not only benefit Lakeland’s ag programming and farm operations, it will also have a lasting impact on our students – their education lasts a lifetime and that’s what Judy is contributing to.” Increasing enrolment combined with growing livestock herds, including an 80-head research herd, 290-head dairy herd, 90-head commercial beef herd and a 40-head purebred beef herd, have put pressure on Lakeland’s land base. Judy’s donation will enable Lakeland to pursue a future land acquisition that supports growing its award-winning student-managed learning model and new research oppor-
