reetings from all of us at Certied Angus Beef LLC, My, oh my, has the cale industry changed in the past four or ve years I recently put the timeline in perspective for a group of college students, but it strikes me how profound the eects will be and the need to keep ahead of that curve. Most people start the conversation with prices and costs, but I would argue we should start by talking about genetic progress. The ability of these cale to grow and grade while improving cow functional eciency is just amaing. Whats also impressive is how these superior genetics like those supplied Table 1: Top 25% Cattle Premiums in this Select Sires AI directory are Year 1998 2003 2008 2013 now being rewarded with serious dollar premiums. Look at how dramatically those $/Head 26.39 45.3 64.89 117.94 premiums have grown in 15 years on one leading grid (see Table 1). Those are still averages so, yes, 150 to 200head premiums above the base are available in the market today. Why is this occurring Data in Table 2 derived by Table 2: Wholesale Beef Demand Index Kansas State Universitys Dr. Ted Schroeder and Base Year = 2002 Lance immerman (now a Cale-ax analyst) show that demand for uality (Prime and Premium Choice, like CAB ) has outpaced the demand for Low Choice and greatly outpaced the demand for Select. Thats why, in spite of declining cow numbers, our brand sales grew 54 million pounds (6.7) to a seventh consecutive record high 865 million pounds. This didnt happen in spite of record high beef prices, but because of it. Yes, consumers are sending a strong message as to what they want to buy. Year So, as calemen, what do you focus on to take advantage of these market signals Well, rst do not weaken on your marbling focus it comes in many Larry R. Corah Assistant Vice President, Supply Development Certied Angus Beef LLC Demand Index Value balanced packages through the bulls oered at Select Sires just look for the Targeting the Brand logo. Our most recent packing consist study (Table 3) shows that 28 of cale that ualify for the CAB brand barely made it, within 30 points of the Modest 0 line. In shopping for bulls, that would compare one with a marbling EPD of.2 versus a.5, but remember the progeny carry only half of the sire genetics. Another great tool to use are the economic indexes like B from the American Angus Association. These values rank the growth and grading potential of calves sired by the excellent Angus bulls listed in the Select Sires catalog. Soon, you will likely begin to see feeder calves priced by their sires B value that will bring premiums all way to the cow-calf producer. As CAB sta, we know our brand must create economic opportunity for all segments of the beef chain and we are excited that its happening. Having been around this great cale industry for some time, Ive never been more excited about what is going on each day. We are producing a great product thanks to you, and we now have genetic information that helps you make even beer decisions to gain market premiums.

Genetic Selection in Our Modern World or Don t Get Rid of the Scales Just Yet! By Bill Bowman American Angus Association & Angus Genetics Inc. enetic selection practices for beef cale production have evolved tremendously over the last fty-plus years. State and regional beef cale improvement organiations, along with national breed associations and other groups, began the promotion and accumulation of performance data in the seedstock industry to use these measurements for beef cale breeding programs. Organiations like the Beef Improvement ederation were created early on, to provide a forum for discussion and sharing of principles in achieving genetic improvement. Since the early 1970s, national breed associations in this country have worked with scientists and universities to provide their clientele with selection tools utiliing the breed phenotypic databases. Continued expansion of the list of economically relevant traits provided by breeds has allowed producers to apply precision selection strategies to help characterie and select genetics that impact prot at all segments of a complex beef industry. ast forward to the present. enomic results are now being used as a way to enhance the accuracy and predictability of current selection tools. The use of this technology in the form of genomic-enhanced EPDs (E-EPDs) allows the identication of superior genetics at an earlier age with greater condence. In some cases, genomic technology also permits selection in suites of traits that are dicult or very expensive to gather phenotypes. The promise of more widespread application of genomics in our industry has led many to surmise that a producer would eventually be able to take a DNA sample on a newborn calf, and immediately determine the genetic merit, or breeding value, of that animal for his program. Breeders sometimes ask if it is no longer necessary to collect data at the ranch (e.g., weaning weights, ultrasound scan data, carcass measures). This thought process created the discussion that the seedstock producer using the technology would no longer need to continue the weighing and measuring of their cale. In reality, this could not be further from the truth. The phenotypic measurements are used as the basis for training the genomic tools in the initial development of molecular predictions. enomics today do not completely describe the Breeders sometimes ask if it is no longer necessary to collect data at the ranch (e.g., weaning weights, ultrasound scan data, carcass measures)...in reality, this could not be further from the truth. variation in the traits of interest thus, the results are used as indicator traits in the national cale evaluations. The EPD calculations leverage the complete pedigree information, the performance data on all animals measured for a trait in proper contemporary groups, as well as the genomic data. More importantly, the phenotypic measures collected by breeders will continue to be an important component in the improvement of genomic panels, sometimes called re-training or recalibration, and the renement of this technology over time. Plus, the additional measurements continue to drive the EPD calculations by building upon the established phenotypic database. Thankfully, the industry has dedicated breeders commied to collect meaningful performance data to continue adding to our strong foundation of records. As an example, the American Angus Association database in 1963 had roughly 9,300 weaning weights after a few years of data collection. In 2013, that number grew to some 8.5 million weaning weights. In todays space, another million records are added approximately every three years. This depicts a valuable resource that has contributed to enormous improvement in the genetic trend for Angus cale. These weaning weights, running in a multi-trait growth model, allow the most accurate characteriation of weight and maternal traits in our grasp today. The actual birth weights (yes, those taken with scales and not a tape measure) serve as an indicator trait for calving ease EPDs that the industry relies on to improve chances of unassisted births in rst-calf heifers. As previously stated, the genomic measures rely on these phenotypic-driven data. Select Sires has continued their tradition of widely sampling young sires to generate actual phenotypic data for the relevant traits each and every year. This results in the identication of 16
Select Sires has continued their tradition of widely sampling young sires to generate actual phenotypic data for the relevant traits each and every year. progeny-proven sires with accuracy and reliability providing low-risk solutions for genetic selection. The laundry list of traits that stem from accurate weights and measures to contribute information in a comprehensive cale production system continues to grow. Cow weights and body condition scores are essential to monitoring mature sie and matching a cow to her environment. Heifer breeding and pregnancy data help to establish the genetic dierences that can impact fertility and reproduction. Yearling scrotal measures contribute to the scrotal EPDs. Necessity traits like docility can be evaluated because of the temperament scores collected. eed consumption has long been recognied as one of the most important factors in determining protability of beef cale production. Many resources have gone into this research area, and progressive producers have invested in euipment to measure individual feed intake to identify genetic dierences associated with eciency. enetic selection tools have been limited for eciency traits in the past, but the accumulation of this important phenotypic data has been folded into selection tools that help to beer characterie postweaning eciency. There has been an increased awareness in the last few years for the need to collect actual harvest data. That response has been driven by a beer understanding the genetic evaluation model that produces carcass EPDs. As an example, the American Angus Association now uses over 101,000 actual carcass measurements on sire-identied cale as the foundation of the carcass EPD system. Also, there are over 1.5 million ultrasound scans collected on yearling bulls and heifers included in the evaluation as an indicator trait to help predict carcass merit. With the advent of genomics, now there are nearly 80,000 genomic records included in the Angus carcass evaluation as an indicator trait for carcass genetics. Those sources of data combined weekly generate about 2.5 million carcass EPDs. Using reliable carcass selection tools has driven protable production in an industry where a consistent, high-uality product generates unmatched premiums. In conclusion, the use of E-EPDs and selection indexes provide producers more condence in the genetic inputs going into their operations breeding program. Incorporation of the new and improved technology will continue to evolve and be used to further enhance these selection opportunities. However, the traditional performance measures evaluated in a proper contemporary group are needed more than ever to further rene these tools in the future. So, dont sell the scales yet. 17

Choosing the Best SimGenetics By Marty Ropp, Allied Genetic Resources As a prot driven producer youve made the logical decision to use the added value of crossbreeding. It is crucial now that you make informed choices to get the most out of your genetic options. There is more exibility and more proven options using Simenetics than in most breeds, but generating value and avoiding risk are high on almost everyones list of priorities. Plenty of mistakes were made in the past incorporating marginal Continental and British genetics into the US beef business. With todays updated genetics, opportunities for AI and improved selection tools, there is absolutely no reason to revisit the challenges of the past or sele for average value. Producers select genetics for lots of purposes, but without uestion, EPDs are the best tools available to increase condence in selection and move prot forward. Below are some reliable rules of thumb for EPD parameters that should be helpful for navigating your successful use of Simenetics. Calving Ease EPD This is absolutely your best decision making tool for avoiding risk at calving. Remember Birth Weight EPD is already included in CE EPD along with all calving ease scores reported. or commercial virgin heifers 15 CE EPD is the absolute minimum I would consider using. To sleep all night on large groups of commercial heifers, push that gure up into the high teens or low twenties and your results should be as good as any Angus bull youve used. Breed of heifer, region of the country, calving season and labor at calving too are always factors to consider. With purebred Continental or SimAngus seedstock heifers, that recommendation could be relaxed somewhat to 12 or higher because of the extra maternal calving ease built into these females. or mature cows Calving Ease EPD is a much lower concern. As a commercial producer however, there is still no reason to take unnecessary risks particularly if you have reduced the maternal calving ease capabilities of your cow herd by using generations of straight British genetics. Personally, as someone who purchases lots of commercial cow bulls, I prefer bulls in the high single digits for direct calving ease or higher (8 or more). They work at calving with very lile risk for mature cows and usually generate more performance than extreme calving ease bulls. Weaning and Yearling Weight EPD Both short and long term goals are important when you make decisions regarding growth traits. Short term, everyone loves more weaning weight and your feeder calf customers appreciate greater potential for gain in the feedlot. Long term, extremely high growth cale that arent selected for moderation of mature sie can lead to larger than desired cows years down the road. It is important to realie too that according to the most recent MARC data, a mature Angus cow and a mature Simmental cow are now the same sie. Average Simmental and SimAngus bulls (around 60 WW EPD and 90 YW EPD) sire substantial growth. Bulls with 80 WW EPD and 120 YW EPD will add big time improvement in performance. Again understanding your marketing goals and long term needs are keys to making smart decisions. Milk Simmental is a high milk breed so average (around 23 MM EPD) or even somewhat below average Milk EPD is still plenty of milk for most situations. or those desiring to increase Terminal Prot (TI EPD) If you are among those who might milk in their commercial herds, chose bulls above 30. Remember that by crossbreeding you are already geing a big boost in growth, eciency marbling and cutability, Terminal Index EPD use Simenetics for the value they deliver as a combination of milk production because of the eects of heterosis. Personally, I shows the way. Highly heritable traits with the most sophisticated dollar value index EPD in the beef business assures your would be leery of selecting for extreme growth and milk in combination. Seems like not much good came from that in the past. best option to add prot for a terminally driven system.

That is the boom line for all of us and our consumer demand ultimately drives almost all non-farm dollar infusion into the beef industry. Keeping that in mind, improvement in marbling, tenderness and cutabilty need to be priorities almost every time we make genetic decisions. High marbling Continental genetics like the ones that can be found in selected populations of Simmental and SimAngus cale provide substantially more marbling than most all of their Continental competitors and provide comparable marbling genetics to even above average British cale. Selecting Marbling EPD in the top 20 (.2) of the breed should result in 75-85 Choice carcasses when used on average British based cows. SimAngus sires with Marbling EPD in the top 20 (.46) or higher should do substantially beer than that on well managed cale. The best news of all is that todays SimAngus bulls, highly selected for end product value (roughly.8 MB EPD,.8 REA EPD and or 90 Terminal Index or higher) can generate a combination of uality and Yield rade nearly unrivaled in todays beef industry. It is a good idea to avoid signicantly below average marbling Simmental and SimAngus bulls if uality rade is important to you as a producer, because the resulting levels of Choice and Premium Choice carcasses may be disappointing. As a compliment to marbling, Simmental is one of the only breeds that oer a stand-alone EPD for improving tenderness. ew are paid directly for tenderness, but using bulls that sire tough beef seems illogical for the future. Choosing sires in the top 25 of the database for Shear orce EPD just makes good long term sense. Almost all SimAngus and Simmental sires will add ribeye area, leanness and cutability to British genetics. While the changes may not seem extreme to most, expect average purebred Simmental sires to add 1 full suare inch of ribeye to average British based cows and take o.1 inches of back fat from crossbred steers fed next to straightbred steers. The resulting one half USDA Yield rade improvement (i.e. 3.3 to 2.8) will all but put an end to Yield rade 4s and the subseuent increase in gain eciency will positively aect cost of production. Not surprisingly you can expect approximately as much change in Y when using average SimAngus sires and producing Sim, British cale. All Around Prot (API EPD) Selection for prot not only sounds like a good idea, but research shows it works The All Purpose Index EPD is designed to move prot forward and help you avoid pitfalls in selection. Dont misunderstand, it certainly is not without limitations and may not get everyone to the goals they have individually, but API is a nice tool to sort the wheat from the cha. The most important factors eecting API EPD are stayabilty, direct and maternal calving ease, heifer pregnancy, mature cow maintenance, and marbling. With that in mind, maximum growth may not be aained by selecting for API, but most of the other traits that are crucial for avoiding risk and addressing long term success are in there. Chose cale with API values in the top 25 of the breed to avoid problems and drive prot forward. Then, among those higher indexing sires, select the ones that give you the other value pieces your operation demands.
