Where did cows
come from?
It is a little known fact that Jac-
ques Cartier was one of the first
explorers of Canada to bring cows
to this country. He brought them
from France when he made his
first voyage to this continent in
1534.
In 1606, cows were imported to
Acadia, and in 1610 cows were
shipped to New France by Samuel
de Champlain. The first cattle
shipped to Acadia died during
English raids, but more were ship-
ped to the colony in 1632.
Available records show that there
were 1500 cattle in the Minas Basin
when the Acadians were expelled
in 1775. When the United Empire
Loyalists migrated to New
Brunswick from New England
from 1778 to 1785 they brought
cattle to form the foundation stock
for the agricultural community,
but even before they arrived, set-
tlers in the upper regions of the
Miramichi had cattle.
The Hudson's Bay Company
helped in the shipment of cattle
from England to the Red River
Settlement. Lord Selkirk, after his
first visit to the colony, sent a ship-
ment of dairy cattle to York Fac-
tory, but many were lost in the trek
to Fort Garry and others were
slaughtered in Indian raids. Still,
enough survived to form the dairy
herds that were built up in the col-
ony. In the far West, Sir James
Douglas, acting on the behalf of
the Hudson's Bay Co., had cattle
shipped in from California to the
delta and mainland areas of British
Columbia.
According to a census taken by
Jean Talon in 1667, there were
3,107 head of cattle in New
France. After Confederation, a na-
tional Census of Agriculture was
taken in 1871 and cattle numbers
have been collected consistently in
every census since then. The 1981
Census of Agriculture recorded
over 13.5 million head of livestock
on farms in Canada of which 1.8
million were dairy cows.
The 1986 CENSUS will be held
on June 3. Count yourself in! O
