It is the sixtieth anniversary of the reign of Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, and Empress of India ; it is the 400th anniversary of the discovery by John Cabot of the northern portion of this continent, now comprising the Dominion of Canada ; and it is the thirtieth anniversary of the Confederation of its various Provinces. It is also the occasion o£ the annual meeting at the City of Toronto, the latter part of August, of the British Association for the Advancement of Science; and at the City of Montreal, about the same time, of the annual meeting of the British Medical Association, both of which gatherings will be attended by many hundreds of the most prominent and scientific men from Great Britain and the adjoining Republic of the United States, most of w^hom will embrace the opportunity to visit the Toronto Exhibition. It is therefore a justifiable ambition which prevails among the Directors of the Industrial Exhibition Association of Toronto to make this, their Nineteenth Annual Fair, eclipse all previous ones, and this they are determined to do. The Toronto Exhibition has now attained a world- wide reputation, and the attendance of visitors is consequently annually increasing. It is therefore to be hoped that the manufacturers, agriculturists, horticulturists, anfl all others interested in the Industries and prosperity of the Dominion will this, the Jubilee Year, make an extra effbrt to place before the people such a magnificent display of the products and resources of the country as will far surpass all former efforts. All applications for space and entries must be made before the 7th of August. c:t./^:3;?-Tnr^ Industrial Exhibition Association of Toronto PATRON HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR GENERAL.

  • The Stoneleigh Herd
    HERD FEATURE THE STONELEIGH HERD The Stoneleigh Herd of Sussex cattle was founded in 2002, a year after Debbie Dann and Alan Hunt had bought the RASE’s herd of rare breed White Park Cattle. White Parks, for all their good looks and photogenic charm, are not the most commercial of breeds so they wanted a breed to complement the White Parks and that would pay the bills and ensure the cattle weren’t just a glorified hobby. After looking at a number of native breeds the selection was narrowed down to South Devons and Sussex (Debbie is originally from Hersmonceux in East Sussex). Sussex easily trumped the South Devons! The dispersal of Mike Cushing’s Coombe Ash Herd in May 2002 provided the ideal opportunity to buy some foundation cows and four cows with calves at foot and back in calf again found themselves travelling up the M40 to Warwickshire. Coombe Ash Godinton 5th, bought as a calf at foot from the Coombe Ash dispersal sale and her heifer calf summer 2013 Debbie’s day job at that time was to run all the competitive classes for the Royal Show and Alan was and still is the Estate Manager for the Royal Showground’s farmland. Since 2007 Debbie has been Breed Secretary for the Longhorn Cattle Society. This means that both Alan and Debbie have full time jobs and the cattle are mostly managed outside of work hours and have to be pretty low maintenance. Stoneleigh Godinton 2nd and calf Cows are housed over the winter as all the grazing is rented and the cattle are easier to manage when they are indoors when the owners are working full time.

  • The Drakensberger As Competitive Breed of Cattle in the South African Beef Industry 39
    19th International Farm Management Congress, IFMA19 Theme: SGGW, Warsaw, Poland Science & Extension THE DRAKENSBERGER AS COMPETITIVE BREED OF CATTLE IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN BEEF INDUSTRY 39 THE DRAKENSBERGER AS COMPETITIVE BREED OF CATTLE IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN BEEF INDUSTRY Christo Bisschoff, Ronnie Lotriet Potchefstroom Business School, North-West University Abstract This paper focuses on the Drakensberger as competitive beef breed of cattle. The Drakensberger is a medium-framed black cattle breed, indigenous to South Africa. The breed fares well in key re- quirements for successful cattle farming, and although the breed has much to offer, it does not enjoy a large market share in the country. Resultantly, this low market share raises questions as to why an indigenous, quality cattle breed has a low market share. The primary objective was to determine the South African farmer’s perception on Drakensberger as cattle breed in the market. This was achieved by the secondary objectives that identify and describe the competitive South African cattle breeds, identify the characteristics a South African farmer looks for a cattle breed, measure the Drakens- berger’s performance against these identified characteristics, and to clarify the low market share. The literature study reviewed the background of the South African cattle industry, identified the competitors in the cattle market, and also assessed the Drakensberger breed’s potential. From the literature it was evident that the breed has no fatal flaws. It outperforms certain other more popular cattle breeds, and the Drakensberger is also exceptionally well adapted for the diverse South African conditions, performing well on even low quality sour grass veld conditions.

  • George Garrard's Livestock Models by JULIET OLUTTON-BR.OCK
    ! ...... !i George Garrard's Livestock Models By JULIET OLUTTON-BR.OCK A series of plaster models of domestic pigs, cattle, and sheep that were made by George Garrard between about 179o and 181o has been held in the British Museum (Natural History) since the !! beginning of this century. In view oftheincreasing concern for the conservation ofrare breeds of livestock it is perhaps an opportune time to publish a description of these models, for they por- tray the favoured breeds at a crucial period in the history oflivestock improvement. Many o~'the breeds which were the most commercially successful in 18oo (when oxen were still used for il ploughing, and the production of tallow was a major industry) are at tile present day either extinct or changed out of all recognition, although a few of the old breeds that have survived unchanged are now playing a new economic role in "farm parks" where they are exhibited as relics of a past agricultural age. EORGE GAP,.RARD (176o-1826) was a painter who turned his atten- t-ion to the making of casts and models of many subjects, but mainly of domestic animals. In this project he was sponsored by the fifth Duke of Bedford, who was the first president of the Smithfield Club (founded hi I798), and by the third Earl of Egremont, as well as by other members of the Board of Agri- culture. Garrard called his house in Hanover Square, London, "The Agricultural Museum," and from there he sold his models. In 1798 Garrard published a statement in the Annals of Agriculture to advertise his models; parts of this statement are quoted as follows: Mr Garrard is now preparing the models from the best specimens that can be procured, under the inspection of those noblemen (the Duke of Bedford and the Earl of Egremont); and he proposes to publish a set of models, to consist of a bull, a cow, and an ox, of the Devonshire, Herefordshire, and Holdemesse cattle, upon a scale front nature, of two inches and a quarter to a foot.

Introduction Breeding lies at the foundation of any beef production system. While herd breeding decisions are just one element of cattle management, selecting superior parents for breeding will lead to cumulative and permanent gains in herd productivity, profitability and efficiency. There is no single definition of a good breeding plan. Instead, breeding plans need to be devised to meet the specific requirements of a herd and the target market. Alex Brown AHDB Beef Breeding Good genetics are the basic building Projects Manager blocks of animal production. No amount of feed or management can overcome poor genetics. In the pages that follow, we will take you through how to set breeding objectives for your herd, and how you can use estimated breeding values (EBVs) to help you achieve these objectives. Along with good genetics, visual assessment remains an essential part of the bull selection process. This manual will also explain how to ensure that bulls are physically sound and fit to work.

  • Breeds of Beef and Multi-Purpose Cattle
    BREEDS OF BEEF AND MULTI-PURPOSE CATTLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The inspiration for writing this book goes back to my undergraduate student days at Iowa State University when I enrolled in the course, “Breeds of Livestock,” taught by the late Dr. Roy Kottman, who was then the Associate Dean of Agriculture for Undergraduate Instruction. I was also inspired by my livestock judging team coach, Professor James Kiser, who took us to many great livestock breeders’ farms for practice judging workouts. I also wish to acknowledge the late Dr. Ronald H. Nelson, former Chairman of the Department of Animal Science at Michigan State University. Dr. Nelson offered me an Instructorship position in 1957 to pursue an advanced degree as well as teach a number of undergraduate courses, including “Breeds of Livestock.” I enjoyed my work so much that I never left, and remained at Michigan State for my entire 47-year career in Animal Science. During this career, I had an opportunity to judge shows involving a significant number of the breeds of cattle reviewed in this book. I wish to acknowledge the various associations who invited me to judge their shows and become acquainted with their breeders. Furthermore, I want to express thanks to my spouse, Dr. Leah Cox Ritchie, for her patience while working on this book, and to Ms. Nancy Perkins for her expertise in typing the original manuscript. I also want to acknowledge the late Dr. Hilton Briggs, the author of the textbook, “Modern Breeds of Livestock.” I admired him greatly and was honored to become his close friend in the later years of his life.
