Beef producers must be concerned with the quality of the cattle on the farm and with ensuring a commit- ment to quality right to the retail outlet. The beef industry will never be able to totally eliminate toughness in all its meat but, he said, with more advanced grading the different grades of meat can be marketed differently,Creating better beef cattle might require `a very solid commitment' from the purebred sector, he said. The Canadian Cattlemen's Asso- ciation is concentrating on working with commercial success stories. "We're working with the innova- tors," he said. "Success tends to breed success." The Top Steers in the Sept. 28 Beef Carcass Competition were owned by Paul Coultes (first), Bill Atton (second) and Les Coleman (third). Top Heifers belonged to William C. Millson (first), Sheldon Dinsmore (second) and Peter Dinsmore (third). BY TIM CUMMING Expositor Editor Raising the consistency and qual- ity of beef will help the meat. expand on its increasing popularity, said the Executive Vice President of the Canadian Cattlemen's Associ- ation in Seaforth on Wednesday. "If you fall below 95 per cent consumer satisfaction you're going to lose market share," said Dennis Laycraft. High-technology equipment is helping the beef industry grade its product even more accurately. The industry is also learning more about how to create consistent tenderness through improved feeding and handling procedures and scientific investigation. "We're close to some technologi- cal breakthroughs," he told Huron beef producers at the Beef Carcass Competition on Wednesday. He noted wryly that people don't always agree on tenderness but "people generally agree on tough- ness." Quick and reliable testing is a key to managing the issue, according to the speaker. Higher -grade beef will become increasingly important, according to Laycraft. Some superstores and meat stores are insisting on Triple 'A' grade beef to help create a niche for themselves. "We could sell more Triple A product if it was available." • Some Huron cattle producers at the Sept. 28 meeting expressed concern with the Liberal government's agreement allowing greater imports of product from New Zealand and Australia. 11M CUMMING PHOTO BEEF'S BEST - Here are some of the winners in the Beef Carcass Competition held last Wednesday in Seaforth. They are Paul Coultes, of RR 5 Brussels (winner for the Top Steer in the competition), Bill Atton, of Wroxeter (Top Homebred Steer) and Bill Millson, of RR 2 Seaforth (Top Heifer). Laycraft said the Cattlemen's Association fought the increased imports but said the federal govern- ment had been pressured by a powerful lobby in favour of the imports. The rough climate in Canada may actually help domestic beef pro- ducers as Canada has some of the healthiest beef herds, he said. The cattle producers' executive also said U.S. feeding costs can be from 20- RHYNARD-NORRIS Katherine Diane Norris and William Craig Rhynard were united in marriage Saturday, July 23, 1994 at Thamesview United Church.
