Zurich Citizens News, 1968-06-06, Page 6PAGE Six ZURICH Cltr'lZ NS NEWS THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1966 Waterloo Cattle Breeding Assoc® Announces New Rote Structure The high cost of everything caught up to the artificial in- semination business this week. Central Ontario and Waterloo Cattle Breeders announced that to continue bull testing they must increase their breeding fee for tested bulls. As a re- sult only beef and young dairy bulls now qualify for the old $5.00 breeding fee, that has been standard for the past 20 years. The elite group that they call STA LITE -- Rain or Clear — Children Under 12 in Cars Free Box Office Opens at 8 p.m. First Show at Dusk JUNG 7 and 8 (Double Feature) Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows (Colour) Rosalind Russell, Stella Stevens Catalina Caper (Colour) Tommy Kirk their premium proven sires now are in the $6.00-$7.00 price range. These are older bulls whose daughters are above aver- age for Milk, test or body type. The breeding units explain that these bulls carry a heavy load of expense. They estimate that only one bull in five ever reaches the proven stage. The rest don't meet the required quality restrictions. Thus the original cost of five young bulls, plus years of maintenance, is wrapped up in one proven one. For his extra money the farm- er gets the use of a sire of known ability rather than gam- bling his calf crop on a bull that might leave unproductive offspring. The "proof" information, par- ticularly •on dairy bull's off- spring, is gathered by both breed and government agencies, Milk records are processed at Ottawa, broken down by sires and herds, and then compared. A bull whose daughters outmilk daughters of other bulls used in the sante herds gets a "plus" rating. Body type information origi- nates with •official breed class- ifiers who visit herds. Their records go to the computer at the University of Guelph, which churns out figures to show whether a bull's daughters have good udders, straight legs, etc, When he receives these facts, the man who farms with a pen- ciI decides which bulls are best where his herd is weakest, and chooses accordingly. (In beef most of the informa- tion centres around products how fast calves gain, how young they finish.) This sort of calf crop insur- ance is now going to cost the breeder a dollar or two more than he has been used to pay- ing. In return the A,I. co-ops are offering to prove more bulls for him.
