J
ason Galbraith and Tom
Roche have made the
U20 national team and
will be headed to the In-
ternational Rugby Board
Junior World Rugby Tro-
phy in Antofagasta, Chile
from May 28th to June 9th.
Te Minnedosans
have been training in Brit-
ish Columbia since Au-
gust; slowly watching the
original pool of players
cut down to a team of 29.
Te most recent cut hap-
pened after a March 6th
game against the Univer-
sity of Victoria. Neither
player was pleased with
the teams loss, Roche re-
marking: After two days
of hard training, we were
tired. We werent playing
as a team. But that was
done on purpose. We were
being tested, (to see what
happens during more
active periods). We can
bounce back.
Galbraith was out
with a strained AC joint in
his shoulder for the game,
but has been back playing
over the past two weeks.
Its slowly getting better,
he says.
Te team is focused
now on beating the USA
national team in Minne-
apolis from May 2nd-12th.
Te Canadian teams loss
to the US last year led to
the team playing a lower
tier for this season. While
the Minneapolis game is
an exhibition game of lit-
tle of cial consequence,
Roche wants to beat
them and show them we
should be in the top tier.
Its a pride thing.
But its also a lead up
to their next act in Chile.
Te US took the trophy
last year against Japan; so
this is a great time to see
what the team is made of,
only weeks before the in-
ternational competition.
Canada has not placed
in the tournament since
it began participating in
2010.
Galbraiths parents,
Neil and Roberta, and
Roches mother, Jean,
will be joining the team
in Chile. Roches grand-
mother will be fying over
from South Africa to take
in the games.

D
istractions that afect a drivers ability to safely
operate a vehicle is something I have written
about a few times in the past. Distractions such as tex-
ting, eating or personal grooming while behind the
wheel of a moving vehicle are just a few of the many
things that distract drivers from the real task at hand;
operating their vehicle in a safe manner. Hands on the
wheel and eyes on the road ahead are two important
factors when it comes to operating your vehicle safely
from point A to point B.
Last week, Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI)
launched a new dont text and drive campaign as the
latest way to discourage distractions while driving. Its
a great campaign; for the most part. A comment from
MPI on this campaign states Cell phones dont cause
crashes, distracted drivers do. A texting driver, whose
eyes are focussed on their device, represents a clear
danger on the road. I agree 100%. However, I fnd it
just a little ironic that one of the mediums MPI plans to
use to get this message across to drivers is billboards.
Come on, seriously? Who was the genius who thought
it would be a great idea to plaster a distracted driver
campaign on a billboard to catch the eye of motorists
as they drive by? If the eyes of a driver are focussed
on a billboard rather than the road ahead is that not
a distraction and danger to everyone on that road, the
same way a hand held device is? I think so!
A billboard is certainly a distraction to drivers, es-
pecially those electronic ones with bright constantly
moving messages and graphics. Billboards are not
just there for decoration, they are meant to catch your
eye which means that, if only for a brief few seconds,
your eyes are not focussed on the road ahead. In those
few seconds, many dangers can arise; a pedestrian or
wildlife can step out in front of your vehicle or the driv-
er directly in front of you can slam on his or her brakes.
If your eyes are busy reading a billboard you can easily
crash into that person, animal or vehicle ahead.
Ive lost count of the number of times Ive heard
or read statements such as I only took my eyes of the
road for a second or it all happened so fast from a
driver who has been involved in an accident. It really
does only take a second for an accident to happen. As
a paying Manitoba driver, I encourage MPI to recon-
sider using billboards as a way to get their important
messages out to drivers.
According to MPI, there are about 25 deaths in
our province each year directly linked to distracted
driving.
What were
they thinking?
Dear Editor,
W
e think it is time for
some public aware-
ness. We would like to send
a huge bouquet and congrat-
ulations out to all the staf
at the Minnedosa Personal
Care Home for doing such
a GREAT job. Tis proved to be a tough winter at the
home fghting the fu bug that kept sweeping its way
through the halls, ailing the residents and staf.
It is with bitter disappointment that we feel the
need to publicly rally and support these workers. Te
inadequate staf ng per shift is a major concern of ours.
We are not entirely sure who is responsible for deciding
on the resident/staf ratio per shift but it is nearing a cri-
sis situation. For one thing, enough employees need to
be available to fll that ratio without expecting the exist-
ing staf to come in on their days of or work a few hours
overtime or simply double shift. If the equation doesnt
balance, clearly it doesnt work. We believe each resi-
dent in the home is entitled and deserves the best pos-
sible care; after all they are paying for it. If your loved
one were a resident in a facility like this what would
your expectations be?
For example: Would
you expect them to receive
a hot cup of cofee (or a cold
one)?
Should they receive
one bath a week (or would
two be fantastic)?
Would involvement in
activities be encouraged (or
will they be left waiting in their room for someone to lift
them into a chair or out of bed seem possible)?
Most of these residents, likely at some point in their
lives, sat on a community board of some sort or perhaps
coached sports, taught music lessons, were leaders in
4-H, brownies, scouts etc. Tey are in the last stages of
life with bodies and/or minds that are now failing them.
Do they not deserve better? Te staf that is currently
caring for them on a daily basis and doing a superb job
deserve better.
To the people that have the authority to make a
change and are not - SHAME ON YOU!
To those that can stand up and take a voice but re-
main silent - SHAME ON US!

Clanwilliam, MB
Dear Editor,
S
everal weeks ago two
Conservative MPs com-
plained to the Speaker in
the House of Commons
that their right to represent
the views of their consti-
tutents was compromised
by the leader of their party.
Te day after this com-
plaint, both praised their
wonderful leader in the
weekly caucus meeting.
What Hypocrites! In 1993
former MP Marlene Cowl-
ing represented the views
of Jean Chretian in this rid-
ing. Today we have Robert
Sopuck, who represents
the views of Steven Harper
in Dauphin-Swan River-
Marquette. Both these MPs
bring the message from Ot-
tawa to the riding instead
of representing the views of
the local people to Ottawa.
Robert Sopuck op-
erates in this manner be-
cause he is indebted to
Harper. He was anointed
by Harper in 2010 to be
the local candidate for the
Conservatives, shutting
out an open honest nomi-
nation. Bob Sopuck ran in
two elections without being
nominated by the local as-
sociation. Is this the kind of
democracy we should tol-
erate?
Canada spends bil-
lions around the world
promoting democracy.
We send our young sol-
diers into harms way
fghting for democracy. I
believe real democracy be-
gins at home. We need to
practice what we preach.
Yours sincerely,
Inky Mark,
Former M.P., Dauphin, MB

Real democracy begins at home

1993 Te stone cairn at the site of the North School
has been completed and the committee continues to ne-
gotiate with Manitoba Housing and Renewal Corpora-
tion regarding use of the Town View Manor property for
the erection of the South School cairn.
1983 RCMP had a fairly busy holiday weekend. Tere
were attempted break-ins at Mohawk Oil and Crush-rite
Concrete. A few hours later, thieves entered Dari-Isle
Drive-in where they cooked some hamburgers on the
grill before taking between $30.00 to $45.00 from the cash
register. Tere was also a high speed chase on Main Street
which involved a vehicle racing at a speed of 100 kms.
1973 Te Railroad Centennial Committee has an-
nounced the purchase of a sound system, complete with
microphone, tape deck and adaptors to be installed at
the arena at a cost of $757.32.
Two new enterprises open in Erickson. T ey are the
Erickson Laundromat operated by Mr. and Mrs. Conrad
Ziehlke and Saxony Beauty Salon operated by Miss Shir-
ley Bachewich and Mrs. Jean Chow.
1943 Arnold Graham has been seen travelling up
and down Main Street on a three-wheeled, silent, gasless
jalopy. Te three-cycle wheels are powered by a battery
and motor starter. Te only trouble, he claims, is the
short-lived battery.
1933 Jos. Burgess announces his retirement after
having been in business continuously in Minnedosa
since 1885. J. Burgess and Sons advertise a closing out
sale of furniture and foor coverings.
1913 Te Union Bank takes up its quarters at the
corner of Main and Minnedosa in the building recently
known as the Bible Truth Hall. Tis building was erected
by Wallis, Ramsay and Co., Minnedosas frst bankers.
1893 Comment is rife on the dirtiness of the school.
It is rumoured the foors have not been scrubbed since
last October and it is obvious that the dust of years has
accumulated on the walls.
M
innedosa, hello!
Welcome to the
Cops Corner. What can
we talk about this week?
Read along and fnd out!
Fifty-seven calls for
service were received in
the last reporting period.
Warmer weather, more
calls. Better roads, more
speeders. More people
out and about as well with
warmer temperatures
and therefore we have
been busier too. Calls
like breaches, of road
vehicles, disturbing the
peace, assaults, animals,
suspicious vehicles, and
people, traf c accidents,
drugs, and fraud to name
a few.
Police dealt with sev-
eral accounts of assault
locally. People were ar-
rested and charges were
given. Names remain
anonymous as per usual.
As a community
event, I wanted to throw
out the idea of the Chili
Cook-of Contest. I at-
tended it last year as a
judge, and would like to
say that I want to be part
of it again. Te chili was
delicious, and it was super
fun. If anyone has some
ideas, or wants to be a part
of it, I would love to hear
from you and we can plan
it out again. It was a fan-
tastic community event,
and I would like to see it
gain some momentum
and grow this year with
more entries, and more
people at it. Feel free to
drop me a note at the de-
tachment, and I will get in
contact with you. I will use
the paper to spread the
word once/if it gets roll-
ing. Stay tuned for more
on that.
Week after week I
continue to remind you to
be careful on the icy roads.
Currently as I am writing
the article, the roads have
been shear ice in some
spots. Continue to use
caution when driving, and
leave yourself extra time
to arrive at your destina-
tion safe. Winter seems
to not want to disappear
just yet, and I, for one, am
growing ever more excited
for spring... and golf, and
stuf. Hard to believe I am
still talking about ice mid
April (sad face).
Tis weeks speeder is
brought to you by the let-
ter S. A Saskatchewan
licensed male driver was
using a passing lane on
Highway #16 to pass ev-
eryone he possibly could.
He was slowed down from
his speed of 130km/hr
and written a ticket worth
$442.75. He admitted that
he had been given speed-
ing tickets before, but nev-
er in Manitoba, and never
any worth that amount
of money. He earned this
weeks Speeder of the
Week. Te letter S ref-
erence was for Saskatch-
ewan, just in case you
wondered why. Just trying
to keep you guessing and
on your toes.
Have a great week,
and be safe. See you
around town.

closure will be in efect for only two days.
HAMIOTA Crossroads Tis Week reports that due
to fnancial reasons, the indoor Triple H Rodeo, usually
held in April, has been shelved for this year. Te Pierson
Indoor Rodeo committee has also postponed its spring
rodeo due to weather.
SINCLAIR Te abandoned farm house that was
transformed into a giant dollhouse as a tourist attrac-
tion has come to an end. Te Reston Recorder reports the
house was burned as the public safety had become a con-
cern due to the houses shifting foundation.
KILLARNEY A minor fre at the old water treat-
ment plant started when workers were cutting baf es on
the old fltration system and ignited one of the plastic
membranes. Te Killarney Guide reports the fre did not
afect the water treatment process but will delay the in-
stallation of a new fltration system.
DELORAINE Te front page of Te Deloraine

About 15 people come
through the doors daily,
including high school
age students all the way
to 60 year-olds; but Sne-
zyk reports that there is a
concentration around the
40-year-old range.
Snezyk remarks that
most of her clients are tem-
porarily out of work and
need a bit of extra support
in updating their resume,
help fnding a new oppor-
tunity, or even some sup-
port in fnding and getting
into a training program.
She says that building a
relationship with clients is
one of the most important
steps to really getting to
know a persons skill sets
and interests, and where
they might f nd the right
option. She says YRESSs
work to stay abreast of
employment opportuni-
ties ensures that job seek-
ers can more quickly fnd
work.
Member of Parlia-
ment Robert Sopuck com-
mented that if people need
passport applications
processed, they can go to
his constituency of ce in
Onanole. He said a new
program, the Canada Jobs
Grant responds better to
what he sees as the cur-
rent employment need in
the area, which is a skill-
ing up of workers. Trough
the program, the federal
government will match
employer investment in
a training program for an
employee up to a maxi-
mum $5,000 federal con-
tribution. Citing examples
far from Minnedosa like
the Russell Inn, and Gil-
bert Plains Apiary, he said,
Tere is a real mismatch
between the skills that peo-
ple have and the skills that
employers want. When
asked whether YRESS
could of er an option for
promotion and adminis-
tration of the program, So-
puck did not indicate any
plans for this to occur.
A representative from
Morris Industries in
Minnedosa said that they
have not had a problem
flling open positions with
appropriately skilled em-
ployees. Nearly all of their
70 employees live within
the Yellowhead region, and
complete tasks in weld-
ing, fabrication, assembly,
and paintline. Tey have
had two positions become
open since January, and
both were quickly flled.

Serving over 21,000

Heritage Co-op employs
260 people.
Partnering with the
Canadian Red Cross to
help people within our
communities during cri-
sis fts well with our val-
ues of a locally invested
and community minded
co-operative, says Lorne
Zacharias, General Man-
ager, Heritage Co-op.
Were excited about the
opportunity to involve our
employees in this initia-
tive, and I know that our
employees will step up
to help their neighbours
should the need arise.
For almost a century,
Co-ops and their employ-
ees have built a reputation
of being good neighbours
who are always there for
individuals and com-
munities when disasters
strike, says FCL CEO Scott
Banda. Te Co-operative
Retailing System is excited
to be partnering with the
Red Cross in taking our
support during times of
local emergencies to the
next level.
In 2012, the Red Cross
provided assistance to
4,531 individuals during
359 emergency situations
ranging from individu-
al house f res to foods
across Western Canada.
Preparing for disas-
ters is vitally important
for residents of Western
Canada, says Sue Phillips,
Director General Western
Canada, Canadian Red
Cross. FCL and retail Co-
ops have recognized the
importance of prepared-
ness through their gener-
ous gift of $1 million dol-
lars. Tanks to Co-ops
foresight and initiative,
communities will be bet-
ter prepared for disasters,
and Co-op employee re-
servists will have the abil-
ity to support Red Cross
teams during local disas-
ters.
Te Red Cross has
worked carefully with FCL
to select the eight retail
Co-ops participating in
the volunteer reservist
program in 2013. Tese
Co-ops were selected
based on the Red Crosss
assessment of where it be-
lieves there is the greatest
potential for disasters to
occur, and where the need
for additional local volun-
teer support is the great-
est.
Employees volunteer-
ing for the reservist pro-
gram will receive train-
ing from the Red Cross.
General duties include
registration of evacuees,
-
distribution of clothing
vouchers, feeding, fund-
raising and donations
management. Tey will
be available for a period
of up to two days per year
and more if agreed to by
the Co-op, employee and
Red Cross.
T is year all part-
ners will test the program
to ensure that everyone
understands roles and
responsibilities, and to
make adjustments based
on their feedback. Te
plan is to continue to en-
roll additional retail co-
ops in the future.

A
show of skating skills
by the StarSkate and
CanSkate skaters was en-
joyed by their audience on
Monday evening March
11th at the Minnedosa
rink.
Instructed by their
coach Michele Riesmeyer,
the skaters started in late
October this year and have
attended lessons each
Monday and Wednes-
day with breaks when the
school was closed.
Skaters from both
groups showed of skills
of balance, forward and
backward skating, edges,
stopping, turning, spins
and power skills from the
levels of CanSkate and
StarSkate. Te StarSkat-
ers each skated three rou-
tines with jumps, spins,
edges and spirals, also
coached by Michele Ries-
meyer. Skaters received
badges for the skills they
achieved. Jumps included
waltz jumps and salchow
jumps. Te StarSkaters
also helped Michele with
coaching this year taking
turns each week with the
CanSkate group.
Te evening program
ran from 5-6 p.m. and ev-
eryone enjoyed hotdogs
and snacks afterwards.
Hope to see you all again
next year!
If you are interested
next fall with CanSkate or
StarSkate please talk to
President, Michelle Pear-
son.

T
he Early Birds invita-
tional cribbage tour-
nament that was to be
held on April 2nd was can-
celled, so the three raf e
items that tickets had been
sold for, was drawn on our
regular cribbage day, Fri-
day, April 5th. Te winners
were: Quilt and Shams -
Mayme Hirst of Hamiota,
Slow Cooker - Lawrence
Szwaluk of Shoal Lake and
Fleece Trow - Muriel Lar-
son of Brandon. Congratu-
lations to the winners and
we appreciate everyone
that bought tickets.
Hopefully next year
Newdale will be able to
host another tournament
early in January. As if the
draws werent enough ex-
citement for our Seniors
that day, we seemed to
have had a horn blow-
ing contest going on to,
as someones panic button
was accidently hit, which
meant three more people
hit their panic buttons to
see whos car was actually
honking, then all three
were going! Of course,
there were no other cars on
Main Street to worry about
the kerfuf e anyway!
Several friends and
relatives attended the fu-
neral of Freda Dalke on
April 2nd. Her nephew,
Ralph and Vivian Tomp-
son of Winnipeg, accom-
panied their mother Pearl
(Fredas sister), cousins
Glen and Gay Coutts of
Ste. Anne, Margaret Heise
of Hamiota and son Ken-
dall, Bob and Lylia Brown
of Winnipeg, Claire and
Beth English of Rivers, Fay
Ebner and Gloria Bailey of
Brandon and friends Daryl
and Karen Mitchell of Eli.
Spring must be com-
ing soon as several of the
snowbirds are back in
Manitoba; Lorne and Janet
Bradley and Jim and Shir-
ley Dayton. Hope they had
someone shovel their walk
for them!
With our Minister
away on holidays, Carol
Dalgarno very ably han-
dled the Sunday service
for us as well as playing
the organ and with hus-
band Bruce, told the Easter
story of Doubting Tomas
with a new slant. With our
Minister leaving the end
of June the congregation
will be thinking of more re-
sourceful ideas for the Fall
Church season.
Its good to have Da-
vid and Helen Caird home
following their holiday in
Australia, where they spent
four days in Sydney touring
the Opera House, Harbour
Bridge and the Botanical
Gardens. Tey travelled
to the Blue Mountains and
then spent four days in Ayr,
Queensland, an hour south
of Townsville. Tey spent
time visiting with Marc,
Kerri, Jack and Lola Nes-
bit who are originally from
Hamiota. Tey few on
to Perth and met up with
daughters Kimberly and
Mary, where they spent
three days sight-seeing in
Perth. Tey then headed
south to Kodjump to visit
friends, Pam and Jim Mc-
Gregor who raise purebred
Aberdeen Angus bulls.
Ten on to Albany where
they caught up with Mar-
ion and Vic Mathews who
they had worked with 30
years ago on a farm at Wil-
liams Western, Australia.
Te four of them travelled
north to Cadoux and Won-
gin Hills where they toured
around for four days. On
their last day they went to
see the Pinnacles, amazing
limestone rock formations
in a bed of constantly mov-
ing sand.
Te day they left Aus-
tralia the temperature was
27 degrees Celsius and
on arrival in Winnipeg it
was -12 degrees! It was
interesting to learn that in
Western Australias wheat
belt region most grain is
actually planted at the end
of their dry season, which
makes it the same as here,
April and May. Tey plant
when its dry and then wait
for the rains so it takes
about six months for their
crops to mature. Harvest
would then be from Oc-
tober to December. How
we all wish wed been with
you!
Well our f ll of curling
is done for another season
- Canada doesnt come
home with any gold med-
als this time!
Best wishes to Ida An-
dreychuk of Sandy Lake,
who is home recuperating
following her second knee
surgery. Take it easy on the
ice and snow, Ida.

Dear Reena,
Instead of purchasing
chocolate sauce to pour
onto vanilla ice cream,
I would like to make my
own. Give me a great recipe
for chocolate sauce! Lucy
Dear Lucy,
With summer just
around the corner, its time
to think cool ideas and
yummy treats! In a dou-
ble boiler, combine 1 cup
heavy whipping cream,
half cup white granulated
sugar, half cup light corn
syrup and one teaspoon va-
nilla. Bring to a boil and stir
often. Remove from heat
and add 12 ounces of good
quality grated chocolate,
leftover Easter bunnies are
perfect for this purpose (if
theyre good quality). Stir
until melted, cool slightly
and pour onto ice cream.
Store remainder in fridge;
heat before each use.
Dear Reena,
I have laminated f oor-
ing in my living room.I
used double sided tape to
secure an area rug.Now I
cannot remove the tape/
glue from the fooring.
What can I use? Dally
Dear Dally,
Use one of the follow-
ing being sure to test on an
inconspicuous area frst;
hair dryer, WD-40 or pea-
nut butter.
Dear Reena,
I am a senior citizen
wearing two hearing aids.
Te hearing aids are be-
hind the ear type and the
parts inserting into the ear
get unsightly with ear wax
staining. Could you help
me with aremedy to clean
these ear cups which will
separate from the hearing
aid itself? I have tried soak-
ing them in 3% hydrogen
peroxide without success.
I would be indebted to
you for the rest of my life.
Hans
Dear Hans,
Regular maintenance
of hearing aids is very im-
portant since dirty hearing
aids are not only unsightly
but can also cause hearing
aid feedback and/or re-
duce sound clarity. Since
hearing aid devices are
very expensive it is best to
have them regularly and
professionally cleaned so
that you dont risk damag-
ing the equipment. Some
people have had success
by soaking the ear cups in
denture tablets and 35%
hydrogen peroxide, how-
ever in my opinion this
solution is too risky since
your question pertains to
devices sitting inside of
your body.

O
ne of the concerns
this spring that is
likely to be even further
complicated by the late
melt is pre and post seed-
ing weed control. Cool wet
soils this spring will mean
many winter annuals that
went uncontrolled last fall
will be growing aggres-
sively once soils warm up
suf ciently in the weeks to
come. In most cases these
winter annuals will require
immediate attention since
they become increasingly
more dif cult to control as
they mature.
Weeds such as hawks
beard, dandelion, cow
cockle and night fowering
catchfy can be extremely
dif cult to control with
glyphosate alone in the
spring. In most cases ad-
equate control can only be
achieved with the addition
of phenoxys or group two
products. Te use of these
tank mix options have re-
sidual concerns and there-
fore their use is limited to
f elds intended for cere-
als. In the case of oilseeds
and pulses tank mix op-
tions with glyphosate are
limited to products which
have a much narrower
window for control. Once
this window is lost then
the only option available
are high rates of glypho-
sate. Springs such as this
year are exactly why fall
spraying of winter annuals
is such a critical manage-
ment practice that needs
to be employed each fall.
Complicating weed
control further this spring
is the huge seed bank
of volunteer canola that
was shelled out during
last falls numerous wind
storms. In many instances
upwards of three to fve
bushels of canola were lost
per acre at 50 pounds per
bushel meaning we could
have a volunteer canola
seed bank that is easily
in the 200-250 pound per
acre range. Te relatively
dry fall that followed re-
sulted in a very low per-
centage of this seed bank
having germinated which
means we are likely to see
multiple fushes of volun-
teer canola especially if
felds were tilled last fall.
Roundup Ready canola
stubble will be particularly
troublesome since control
will have to come from al-
ternate chemistry.
T e late melt this
spring will mean little
time for delayed seeding
to accommodate volun-
teer canola emergence
meaning much of this
problem will have to be
dealt with post seeding or
through the use of in crop
herbicides. Post seeding
spraying maybe an op-
tion since the seeding op-
eration tends to warm up
soils which will encourage
canola germination allevi-
ating some of the pressure
on your in crop weed con-
trol program.
Te key to post seed-
ing spraying is being dis-
ciplined in your spray
schedule. In most instanc-
es producers will need to
employ a maximum four
day window post seed-
ing to conduct a burn of
application realizing that
there are still likely to be
escapes that will need to
be dealt with in crop. After
day three and four plants
will have healed suf -
ciently to once again take
up suf cient herbicide
to be controlled. Beyond
day four and the window
closes rapidly in regards
to having the crop begin
to emerge which will limit
the use of many tank mix
products with glyphosate.
Besides timing and spray-
ing early producers should
ensure their sprayer is cali-
brated properly and have
nozzles capable of spray-
ing higher water volumes
at lower boom heights so
as to ensure better cover-
age on these small canola
seedlings.
Seed Treatments
Te delayed snow melt
means our soils will still
be extremely cold even at
depths of 2-3 inches. Tis
will likely result in delayed
or slow emergence which
means virtually all crops
will benef t from a seed
treatment. Tis becomes
especially important if you
are growing a similar or the
same crop in a tight rota-
tion. It will not only help
alleviate seedling and soil
borne disease pressure
this year but will also help
reduce a build up of soil in-
oculums for future crops.
Seed treatments today are
generally more efective,
control a broader range of
pests and are much safer to

By TOD WALLACE, Farm
Production Extension,
Beef Livestock Knowl-
edge Centre, MAFRI; and
KRISTEN LUCYSHYN,
Manitoba Beef Producers
W
ith the long winter
we have been expe-
riencing, many pastures
around the province are
not going to be ready for
grazing anytime soon.
Add to that the threat of
spring fooding and many
beef producers are left
wondering what may hap-
pen even when those pas-
tures start to green up.
Both Manitoba Beef
Producers (MBP) and
Manitoba Agriculture,
Food and Rural Initiatives
(MAFRI) have felded
calls with questions about
stretching forage supplies
through to spring pasture.
Te need to plan ahead
to ensure feed availability
is even more critical con-
sidering the potential for
f ooding this spring and
the potential for herds to
become isolated during
this time.
Taking a look at the big
picture, there is a shortage
of hay in Manitoba. Tis
stretches throughout the
entire province but it is
certainly felt most critical-
ly in the southeast areas
that were hit by drought
conditions last year, as
well as near the lakes
that experienced reduced
yield and acreage due to
the 2011 food.
Lower quality forages
or a combination of feed
and straw is usually the
f rst thing that comes to
mind when considering
alternatives to hay. Some
things need to be kept in
mind when supplement-
ing with straw. Rumen
compaction may occur if
straw is fed alone with no
readily available energy
and/or protein supply for
the rumen microbes. Pro-
ducers should also keep
in mind that in the last
trimester of pregnancy a
cows nutrient require-
ments increase signif-
cantly. Terefore, it is im-
portant to provide higher
quality feed either in the
form of good quality alfal-
fa hay or increase protein
and energy supplementa-
tion. Roughages like straw
do not contain suf cient
levels of nutrients. How-
ever, in combination with
the use of grains, byprod-
ucts, protein supplements
and mineral/vitamin pre-
mixes, the demands of
livestock can be met.
It is critical to sup-
ply all of the nutrients the
animals need in order for
them to maintain good
health, body condition,
high reproductive rates
and desirable weaning
weights.
Tere are some op-
tions available to increase
feed energy. Ammonia-
tion of straw would run
approximately $20 to $25
per bale, increasing pro-
tein by 6 per cent to 7 per
cent. Liquid molasses runs
approximately $8.75 per
bale. When administered
correctly and distrib-
uted evenly throughout
the bale, adding molas-
ses may increase protein
by 1.6 per cent on a 1000
pound straw balefrom
5 per cent to 6.6 per cent.
Te energy (TDN) on that
bale will increase 2.3 per
cent from 49 per cent to
51.3 per cent.
We have received
questions about feed-
ing alternative feeds such
as hemp screenings, pea
four, and oat hulls. Tese
will all work in beef cow
rations but they need to be
formulated correctly. Your
local MAFRI GO Of ce is
one source to consider for
assistance with formulat-
ing rations to ensure ani-
mal requirements are be-
ing met.
If you are experienc-
ing feed shortages and
possible food concerns,
now is the time to seek
professional advice on
your situation. Contact ei-
ther MBP or MAFRI for as-
sistance regarding supple-
menting your dwindling
hay supplies and plans
for transporting cattle in a
food situation.
In certain situations,
you need to market live-
stock such as feeders,
stockers and replacement
heifer calves now prior
to a complete exhaustion
of feed. It is critical that
these decisions be made
prior to concerns of mal-
nutrition arising.
Producers, please
help your fellow produc-
ers. If your neighbour is
nearing the end of their
feed supply, maybe you
can be of assistance. It
may be as simple as dis-
cussing the feed alterna-
tives that are available.
Options must be explored
before animal care be-
comes a concern.
If you are facing a feed
shortage, poor pasture
conditions, or impending
f ood challenges, consid-
er your options and start
making a plan now. If you
need assistance, please
call your local MAFRI GO
Of ce or Manitoba Beef
Producers and we will try
our best to help you fnd
the answers you need.
