1 2018 SIRE CATALOGUE

2 We have had a busy year, here at LIC Europe, as we look at better ways to support our farmers: We invested 2.6m into NMR (National Milk Records). This is an exciting venture, as both NMR and LIC work together to develop tools and information to benefit herd improvement in the UK. The quarantine period for our EU collection centre in New Zealand reduced from 100 days to 30. This gives European farmers access to LIC s top bulls at the same time as New Zealand farmers. We are working with the AHDB to ensure we are on the same path to improve the profitability of the UK national herd. In my 25 years at LIC, I can honestly say that my role as General Manager for Europe, working alongside the dedicated UK farmers, is one of the most rewarding. I look forward to meeting more of you, as LIC continues to grow in this part of the world. I hope you enjoy browsing this season s catalogue, which includes some of the greatest dairy genetics available globally, as well as some exciting new things on offer.

4 OUR CO-OPERATIVE LIC is a farmer-owned co-operative that provides leading-edge genetics and solutions to improve the productivity and prosperity of dairy farmers all around the world. If there s one certainty with dairy farming, it s that it never stands still. It s always evolving, changing and looking ahead. It s always improving. Our approach to dairy farming is no different. In 1909, we started improving the quality of New Zealand's national herd. Today, LIC's breeding programme is one of the largest of its kind in the world. OUR PURPOSE Our co-operative empowers livestock farmers through: Genetics and information to create superior livestock Information to improve decision making to enable superior livestock performance Hardware and systems to improve productivity and decision making LIC International adding value for dairy farmers worldwide OUR ACHIEVEMENTS Three out of four New Zealand dairy cows are sired by an LIC bull Over 10 million milk samples are analysed by LIC each year and information is added to proof of sire 5 million straws of fresh semen are dispatched all over New Zealand during spring mating season Around 1 million frozen semen straws were sold internationally in the season We export to over 20 countries worldwide Around 11% of revenue is invested back into the research and development of new products and solutions 4

5 OUR GENETICS LIC s breeding objective is to breed bulls that breed profitable cows cows that are not only efficient converters of feed to milk, but cows that get back in calf easily each year and last many lactations within the herd Fertile The NZ herd replacement rate is around 20% per season, which gives farmers a better chance to breed the right cows with the right genetics and improve their herds Productive NZ cows average 4.8% fat and 3.9% protein, with many achieving 1kg milk solids from 1kg liveweight Strong Udders The average NZ cow completes approximately 5.5 lactations in their lifetime Low maintenance NZ farmers employ little or no extra help on-farm so no-fuss cows are crucial for running an efficient business Long Living Most NZ cows are in the herd well into their peak lactation years, living approximately twice as long as a USA cow Efficient Bred to keep performing when feed is limited, NZ cows can efficiently convert feed into profit over a variety of systems Reliable LIC genetics are tested across hundreds of commercial herds to prove they can produce profitable cows Robust NZ cows are fit to walk to and from the milking parlour everyday, twice a day OUR FUTURE Whatever the challenges of the times or the marketplace, our job will remain the same. That job is to continue to improve the genetics of dairy cows globally, improve the information that farmers have and the way they use it, and improve profitability through smart and innovative technology. Because that s what we re about. Improvement. Limitations on the sale of and use for First Generation Male offspring The LIC genetics products available to you by Livestock Improvement Corporation (UK) Limited are subject to strict Terms and Conditions. The sale of LIC genetic products (excluding short gestation length semen) to the customer must only be used to: a) Inseminate animals ordinarily in the customers herd. b) Generate replacement heifer calves for use within the customers herd or to sell as excess heifers c) Generate bull calves to be used for natural mating purposes only and for sale to third parties for natural mating purposes only with LIC s prior written approval. Short Gestation Length Semen Short Gestation Length semen must only be used for the purpose of facilitating short gestation length pregnancies to create animals which must not be used for any breeding purposes or for the collection of semen. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to make themselves aware of the full Terms and Conditions, which are available to you by contacting our LIC UK office +44 (0) or your local LIC UK representative. 5

6 UNDERSTANDING NEW ZEALAND BULL DATA Across all Breed Evaluation The bull data in this catalogue is displayed across all breeds; this is in line with how the New Zealand Animal Evaluation (NZAEL) unit and LIC rank New Zealand dairy animals. Because many LIC customers here in the UK and around the world select genetics from multiple breeds for optimal herd performance, it is important for farmers to understand how an animal should perform within the whole herd, not just within one breed of the herd. LIC believe that an across all breed evaluation is the best tool to help you make breeding choices geared toward making your herd the most profitable it can be. Base Cow The New Zealand Base Cow is the genetic reference point used to determine Breeding Worth (BW) and Breeding Values (BV) for all New Zealand dairy cattle. All of the bull information in this catalogue is recorded relative to the 2005 Base Cow the average of 21,585 cows born in the year 2005 whose production and TOP (traits other than production) data has been set to zero. Each cow has been TOP inspected and herd tested at least four times to deliver an accurate result. Production Production is reported on their 270-day lactation yields relative to 5t Dry Matter: Fat kg 218 Volume (litres) 4595 Protein kg 174 Liveweight (kg) 500 Traits Other than Production Assessing the Animal Traits Other than Production (TOP) refer to the behaviour, temperament and physical attributes of a cow and are scored separately on a scale from one to nine. The four farmer-scored and 14 inspector-scored TOP traits are considered most important in relation to the overall efficiency of dairy cattle Undesirable Average Desirable Data Processing The raw data is then sent through to the New Zealand Animal Evaluation unit where within herd, region and national comparisons are analysed and processed. This information is then fed into the national data base as breeding values for sires. The average raw TOP scores of the 2005 base cow are as follows: FARMER SCORED MANAGEMENT TRAITS Sire Proving farmers score two-year-old heifers on the four farmer traits Low Score High Score Base Cow Average Adaptability to Milking describes how soon the heifer settled into the milking routine after calving slowly quickly 6.12 Shed Temperament describes the temperament of the heifer in the farm dairy while being handled and milked nervous placid 6.28 Milking Speed describes the milking speed of the heifer slow fast 6.33 Overall Opinion describes the farmer s overall acceptance of the heifer as a herd member undesirable desirable 6.57 INSPECTOR SCORED CONFORMATION TRAITS Stature describes the height at the shoulders of the heifer in five centimetre bands small tall 5.75 Capacity describes depth and width of chest and body in relation to the physical size of the heifer frail capacious 6.34 Rump Angle describes the angle of a line between the centre of the hips and the top of the pins high pins sloping 4.79 Rump Width describes the width of pins, hips and thurls relative to the size of the heifer narrow wide 6.17 Legs describes the straightness or curvature of the back legs while the heifer is walking straight curved 6.18 Udder Support describes the strength of the suspensory ligament, and the udder depth relative to the hocks weak strong 6.02 Front Udder describes the attachment of the front udder to the body wall loose strong 5.70 Rear Udder describes the height and width of the rear udder attachment low high 5.76 Front Teat Placement describes the placement of the front teats relative to the centre of the quarters wide close 4.53 Rear Teat Placement describes the placement of the rear teats relative to the centre of the quarters wide close 5.84 Udder Overall assesses the desirability of all traits pertaining to the udder undesirable desirable 5.71 Dairy Conformation assesses the desirability of all traits pertaining to dairy conformation, but excluding udder traits undesirable desirable

7 SAVANNAHS HF HAMMER S1F Daughter Proven A2A2 169/99% Using this bull at a BW of $169 indicates that per 5t DM the replacements are expected to generate NZD $169 more Nett profit than using a sire with a BW of 0. The reliability of a sire is a measure of the amount of information behind the bulls BW. The higher the reliability the less movement expected with his BW.

NZAEL Breeding Values (BV) are normally calculated across all breeds. Therefore Black & Whites have higher Milk Volume BVs than Jerseys. A BV of 594 litres indicates the bull will produce daughters that are genetically superior than the average Black and White by 297 litres of milk. Fat and Protein. A BV of 19 kg indicates that the bull will produce daughters which on average, are genetically superior to the base cow by 9.5kg per 5t DM consumed. Somatic Cell Count. A useful approximation for farmers to note, is that a difference between two sires of 0.5 in breeding value equates to a difference in expected daughter performance of bulk milk count. The lower the SCC BV the better as you want to reduce the bulk milk. Fertility. A BV of 6% indicates that 3% more daughters are expected to calve in the first 42 days of a herds calving period, compared to a bull of 0. New Zealand has been able to achieve the tightest calving interval worldwide. Highly fertile cows have been necessary to achieve this. It is generally accepted that the New Zealand base cow is far more fertile than any other countries base. Total Longevity. A BV of 405 days indicates the bull s daughters are expected to last in the herd for 202 days longer, compared to a bull with a BV of 0 days. Body Condition Score. A bull with a BCS of 0.09 indicates that, on average, his daughters will have 0.04 more of a condition score at day 60 of their first lactation compared to a sire with a BCS of Calving Difficulty. A sire s Calving Difficulty Breeding Value (BV) compares the percentage of assisted calvings expected when he is mated to yearling heifers. Gestation Length. A bull with a GL of 3.4 days indicates that, on average, his calves will be born 1.7 days earlier than the calves of a bull with a BV of 0. Liveweight. A BV of 20 kg indicates that the bull will produce daughters, which on average will be 10kg heavier than daughters of a bull that has a Liveweight BV of 0 kg.

A Breeding Value (BV) of 0.11 indicates that the bull will produce daughters which on average, are genetically superior to the base cow by (For example by using a bull with a shed temperament of 0.08 the raw score for his daughters on average is expected to be = 6.33 from a linear score of 9.) Stature. Again as the BV for a sire is comparing his progeny against the base cow which is across breed. Stature for Jerseys is usually negative and Holsteins are positive. 20 7

8 HIGH INPUT LIC s High Input Index focuses on a range of traits as well as Breeding Worth (BW) to identify animals that are best suited to High Input systems. Those traits include Capacity, Udder Support, Udder Overall and Protein. The graph shows the weighting of the traits within the High Input Index, in addition to the existing eight traits of BW. The High Input index allows two animals to be compared based on their suitability to the system. Unlike BW & PW, it does not represent an economic value of the animal s productive performance or ability to breed profitable replacements.

9 ONCE-A-DAY LIC s Once-A-Day (OAD) index has been developed to help OAD farmers breed cows that persist throughout lactation and have longevity in the herd. The index has a strong correlation to Breeding Worth (BW) as well as four functional traits that are required in a desirable OAD cow: Capacity, Udder Support, Front Teat Placement and Milking Speed. The graph shows the weighting of the traits within the OAD Index, in addition to the existing eight traits of BW. Unlike BW & PW, the OAD index does not represent an economic value of the animal s productive performance or ability to breed profitable replacements.

10 SHORT GESTATION LENGTH With a team of bulls selectively bred to shorten gestation length, the SGL product can help you to shorten your calving, increase days in milk, and give your cows longer to recover improving their chances of getting back in calf. There is a range of SGL products available: SGL Hereford LIC and leading Hereford breeders, Shrimpton s Hill Herefords, have developed Hereford bulls with a gestation length up to 9 days shorter than their breed average. These beef bulls breed white-faced offspring that you can easily identify in the herd. SGL Dairy SGL Dairy is a team of bulls with a gestation length up to -20 days. When mated to a cow with normal gestation length, these bulls can reward you with a calving interval up to 10 days shorter than normal. The progeny of these SGL Dairy bulls cannot be kept as replacements. SGL plus BW SGL plus BW combines genetics for a shorter gestation with sound genetic merit so farmers can keep heifer calves as replacements. These SGL sires have been tested to ensure their traits are passed on to their offspring, with the purpose of improving the overall efficiency of your herd.

58 PRODUCTS ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION (AI) LIC s New Zealand AB Technician team has been in existence for over 50 years and has earned the reputation of being the most highly skilled and respected AB technician team in the world. While we have a much smaller AI Technician team in the United Kingdom, they are every bit as accurate as their New Zealand counterpart. LIC AB Technicians complete a highly acclaimed training and supervision regime. They arrive on farm and carry out artificial inseminations to consistently deliver high conception rates. PLATE METERS For dairy cattle on pasture measuring feed can be a hard task. Plate meters help you estimate the amount of dry matter that your herd is taking in. ELECTRONIC PLATE METER MANUAL FOLDING PLATE METER The plate meter proves to be a simple way of measuring pasture. The electronic plate meter measures height and density to give a dry matter reading per hectare. Please note that we stock parts for all these items. If you require any replacement parts please contact your area manager. EQUIPMENT Case Lube (2.5 litre) Gloves (100) Safety goggles Insemination syringe Scissors Tweezers Wipes (2000) Flask Plastic flask pots Sheaths 58

59 PRODUCTS HEAT DETECTION Effective heat detection in cows leads to increased profitability. The quicker the cow gets back in-calf, the more milk she will produce for your farm. Heat detection can be difficult and the products below can help significantly in choosing the best time to inseminate a cow. HEAT SEEKER 100 packs Heat Seekers are a self-adhesive heat detection aid, so no messy glue is required. The large surface area moulds easily over a cows back bone for easy identification of on heat cows. DONAGHYS TAIL PAINT 1 litre bottle Donaghys tail paint comes in blue, green, red and yellow. With a brush cap it is easy to apply and its bright colours stand out. ESTRUS ALERT Roll of 50 strips Estrus Alert strips are easy to apply and highly visible. The strip works on a friction base that prevents false positive readings. For further information on heat detection visit LITERATURE MILK PRODUCTION: FROM PASTURE The 600 page Manual The book is organised into two main sections covering the Principles and the Practices of Milk Production from pasture. FARM APRONS LIC BIB AND BRACE LIC sell Bib n Brace in sizes Medium, Large and X large. These are made of a light weight, waterproof yet breathable material. Navy in colour with the LIC logo imprinted on the chest, and concealed zip pocket. There are poppers to fasten around the ankles if required when wearing with Wellington boots, or they may be worn straight leg. LIC APRON LIC sell milking aprons in one size. These are made of a high quality waterproof material. Blue in colour with the LIC logo imprinted on the chest. They run to the ground in length and are very reasonable width for all sizes. 59
