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.

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.
