Competition was tough and
prices were excellent at the
Annual Huron -Bruce 4-H
Show and Sale held at the
Brussels Stockyards on
Thanksgiving Day. Thirty-
five steers and eight heifers
competed in the show judged
by Jim Coultes of Wingham.
Sandy MacDonald of RR 3
Teeswater captured the
trophy for the overall grand
champion which was donated
by Modern Livestock of
Clyde, Alberta and presented
by Randy Scott.
Sandy's steer was the grand
champion steer and Rod
McGillivray of RR 4, Paisley
showed the reserve champion
steer. In the heifer class, two
brothers from RR 3
Teeswater, Steven and Kevin
McKague, won the grand and
reserve champion heifer
ribbons.
In the afternoon, the calves
were sold by auctioneer, Jack
Riddell, MPP for an average
price of $84.68 per hundred
weight. The Huron -Perth 4-H
Calf Club Sale purchased San-
dy MacDonald's steer for
$1.10 per pound. The reserve
steer sold for $1.08 per pound
to the Port Elgin Meat
Market. Morris Weber bought
the champion heifer for $1.07
per pound and Hettinger Meat
Market purchased the
reserve champion heifer for
$1.01 per pound. The strong
support of all the buyers
made for a very successful
sale for the 4-H members.
Also contributing to success
of the Show and Sale was the
Howick Mutual Insurance
Company of Wroxeter who
provided each 4-11 member
with a pen and lunch at noon.

Beef finishing program
Computer use is becoming
commonplace.
The computer run, beef
finishing program is
available through the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food at the University of
Guelph.
Many beef producers test
corn silage and grains for pro-
tein, calcium and phosphorus,
but don't participate in the
beef finishing program.
What can you get out of the
program?
The usual reports give a
printout on mineral mix for-
mula, grain mix, batch
weight, financial analysis,
cost analysis of feeds, feed re-
quirement analysis and in-
ventories. Breakeven selling
price is included in the finan-
cial analysis.
Inputs needed are feed test
results of home grown feeds,
age, sex, weight, type of cat-
tle, purchase weight, selling
weight, expected death loss
and implants and growth hor-
mones to be used. For finan-
cial analysis, information on
purchase and selling prices,
discounts anticipated, vet,
medicine, marketing, truck-
ing costs and overhead costs
are required. By using figures
from his own feeding opera-
tion, a meaningful report is
returned to the producer.
What better way is there to
help make those decisions on
cattle purchases and feeding
programs?
The first computer run is
$4&f plus- $20- for --additional
runs within the same feeding
year. We are pleased to assist
beef producers in completing
the input form, feed sampling
and interpretation of the
results. If interested please
contact your OMAF office.

OPEN LETTER TO ONTARIO'S CO-OPERATIVE
MEMBERS AND OUR NEIGHBOURS
CO-OP WEEK is a week set aside each year,
across Canada, to celebrate the freedom we
have in this country, to serve ourselves
the co-operative way.
The co-operative way is a very direct con-
cept - it's basically a system co-ordin-
ated to serve common needs. It's a system
which provides individuals with the oppor-
tunity to have a say in how things are to
be run - to become active in their commun-
ity through an expression .of their concerns
and needs.
United Co-operatives of Ontario is proud of
its heritage. We were founded in 1914 as
the United Farmers Co-operative Company,
and incorporated in 1948 as UCO. During these past "9 years, our members,
are our owners, have helped their organization develop into a significant
positive factor in the economy of rural Ontario.
who
and
And because of our impact, each of our members has had the opportunity to
improve their own quality of life.
I feel that CO-OP WEEK is a time to celebrate the co-operative achievement - a
time to bring before all co-operative members and before those who might not
yet have had the same opportunities we have, to realize the uniqueness of co-
operatives and the extent of their acceptance in Canada.
It's a time where those of us who are co-op members can each do our part in
making the co-operative movement better known to our friends and neighbours.
It's an opportunity for us to gain new friends.
I hope that each of you takes the time to visit your local co-op and take part
in the celebrations in_your community. I know that you will enjoy our spirit
and our enthusiasm and our belief in the importance of the individual.
