SEAT BELTS SAVE ®Ontario involved in the cattle industry with membership, registration and transfers all showing a positive trend. The USA has, for the first time in 30 years, once again exceeded the 20,000 registration figure and similar increases in registration arc reported from Australia and New Zealand. Various important developments in the production field received attention. The American delegate reported that tests completed recently by the US Department of Agriculture at Clay Centre Nebraska, showed the Shorthorn with the largest percentage of unassisted births, as well as the highest percentage of choice carcasses with the best marbling score for carcasses. This combination means that the Shorthorn is right at the very top for overall profitability. New Zealand and Australian delegates mentioned the importance of marbling in the Japanese and Asian export markets. Conversely the U.K. and South African delegates reported that their grading system still favoured leaner beef. Canada reported a 10 per cent increase in sales with the U.K. up 35 per cent on bull sales in the last two years. Australia reported 97 per cent clearance from their two major bull sales with prices up considerably for the year. On the Dairy Shorthorn scene, most delegates reported that their breed was holding its own in their country, with the breed strengthen- ing its position in the U.K. The Societies, from around the world are planning to put together a pamphlet promoting the economic production of the milk of Dairy Shorthorns. The next conference is to be held in Australia in June 1999 and plans are already well underway. 28 gather for euchre games
