In professional sports the
development of young players is a
very important part of the team's
future success. The same is true for
successful beef cow-calf opera-
tions.
Development of replacement
heifers is one of the key elements
for the herd's future success. A
contributing factor to increase the
pounds of calf produced in a cow's
lifetime, is calving heifers as two
year olds.
For heifers to reach puberty at
14-15 months of age, adequate
growth must be achieved. When
heifers are bred at 14-15 months of
age, they should be 65 to 70 per
cent of their potential mature
weight. Target weights will vary
with the various breeds. Generally,
a growing ration with a target of
1.5 to 1.75 lbs. per day will achieve
the desired weight. On many farms,
proper heifer development has not
been a prime goal. Time, space and
feed are limiting factors.
This is where the Huron Beef
Heifer Development Project is an

alternative. As a "farm team"
develops young professional
players, the heifer project will
develop replacement heifers.
Heifers will be grown on a
nutritionally balanced ration with a
target of 1.75 lbs. per day. Growth,
temperament, soundness and
reproductive information will be
collected on the individual heifers.
Heifers will be bred artificially to
the consignor's chosen Al sire.
The deadline to consign heifers is
Friday, Dec. 3. Delivery is
Tuesday, Dec. 14 to Hank Van
Dorp's farm, outside of Auburn. To
consign heifers and for further

A 13 year-old southwestern
Ontario company has achieved a
major accomplishment in today's
dry edible bean market.
A press release from the Wood-
slee-based company, Gen-Tec
Seeds, states the company has
developed eight new varieties. This
is considered remarkable because
the standard length of research and
development time required to regis-
ter a new seed is 10 years.
The research department and
company is headed by John
Aylesworth, previously with Agri-
culture Canada's Research Station
in Harrow. Along with his son Stu-
art, a plant breeding technician, the
eight new bean sells were devel-
oped.
The time required for develop-
ment and testing was reduced by. _

sold $110 to $142; 500 - 599 lbs.,
Each new seed was tested at field
plots in Essex County and Parkhill
to check cross-pollination, disease
resistance and yield.
The seeds then had to be tested
by Agriculture Canada and the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and
Food for certification. This includ-
ed nine or 10 official trials through-
out Southwestern Ontario.
The dry edible bean varieties
developed by John and Stuart
Aylesworth are: white and navy
bean varieties, Envoy, Fleetside,
Crestwood and Vista; coloured
bean varieties, Cran 09, Cran 34,
Pinray and Blackjack. The varieties
are available through major distrib-
utors including Cook's Division of
Parrish and Heimbecker Ltd. in
Hensall.
Anyone wishing more informa-
tion on the new varieties may con-
tact the Aylesworths at 975-2557 or
