For the last month the weather has finally been cooperating for our practices at Walker Ranch in Richmond and the results were very visible at our June show. The reined work is improving but the number of really good cow runs is where it is showing big time. There were many cow runs being scored in the 70s. We entertained several spectators and welcomed a few new exhibitors. Pat and Clare Smith brought along a couple of very special specta- tors, Vern and Helen Barnum. One comment made by Vern stuck with me. He said, Just think how big this event would have been if we had a facility like this 30 years ago.

July 22 to 24 Whatta Weekend! Novice Horse - Brittany Smith and Cats Tivio


Friday evening, the North American Appaloosa Championship Show hosted our first ever NRCHA approved event. Hot and humid, we went on. Terry and Carmen St. Pierre`s horse, Smart Blackbird, won the $500 Open and Tim Banick rode Chexie Little Socks to win the $500 Non Pro. Immediately following these classes we loaded up and went to Ilderton, the largest Novice Amateur Quarter Horse show in the world! Nelson Bilyea won the Novice Ama- teur and Darren Bilyea won the Open. Sunday, we headed back to Richmond for our ORCHA show. I am really glad to see so many people have been working on their reined work and noticed yet another great improve- ment by everyone. But the cow work continues to be exciting, just ask Jacquie Gowing! She went out and made a statement with her run - come and catch me.

The 85 acre site in Wood- stock, Ontario is used by many companies and groups leading up to Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, being held this year from September 13th to 15th. Begin- ning as early as April, the action makes a chilly start with research programs, dealer train- ing sessions and educational events. This summer, groups like Ontario Holsteins, Grober Nutrition and New Holland have taken advantage of the site with its long expanse of grass, build- ings and crop plots.


into the ring to test their new skills under the careful eye of judge Norm McNaughton. Champions included Madison Dyment (Senior Showmanship), Rebecca Franken (Junior Show- manship), Trent Jones (Grand Champion Calf) and Dyment also took home Overall Show- manship Champion.


“We have the luxury of working on our site all year long,” says COFS Vice Presi- dent Doug Wagner. “This gives our team the ability to host events for many agricultural companies and associations from early spring to late fall.” For example, in early July, Ontario Holsteins brought sixty- nine 4-Hers to Canada’s Out- door Park for their annual West- ern Junior Show. This two-day event mixes educational sessions with team building activities and a competition for young dairy club members. On the second day, the young people headed


In addition to the Western Junior Show, which celebrated its 10th anniversary this year, there is another group of dairy calves who hang out at Canada’s Outdoor Park all summer long. Grober Nutrition operates their Grober Young Animal Development Centre (GYADC) for calf and kid-goat research over the summer months. Since 2009, the GYADC at Canada’s Outdoor Park has been a sum- mer hub for health and housing research. The GYADC uses automatic feeders from Förster- Technik for their trials, includ- ing the brand new VARIO PLUS feeders. Grober and Förster-Technik also use the GYADC for dealer training. In June, more than 30 technicians from Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and the United States learned about feeding technologies at the GYADC.


who recently hosted a forage demonstration for farmers to see their newest equipment in action.


“At Great Lakes New Hol- land, we decided that we should show people in the hay business, from hobby to dairy to custom operators, what we have to offer to make better quality hay faster,” says Perry Lealess from Great Lakes New Holland. “We needed a spot to do this and teamed up with the staff at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show to engage a great facility for our event.”


Throughout the summer, other machinery and crop com- panies will use the Woodstock facility for training, dealer meet- ings and to show off “what’s new” to VIPs prior to Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show. Whether it is crops or combines, the newest products are tested, explained and perfected at Canada’s Out- door Park so that, come Septem- ber all systems are a ‘go’ for the more than 40,000 attendees and over 700 exhibitors who will be descending on Woodstock over three days.


Training events are not limited to the barns - some actu- ally head out to the fields - some like Great Lakes New Holland
