GREETI NGS FROM T HE PRESI D EN T Season Greetings from the Manitoba Limousin Association. As I sit down to write this repor t the weather outside is beautiful for this time of year. Normally we are sitting any where from -15 to -30 but today it was 0 to -5. We will take a couple months of this k ind of weather. This weather sure will make calving in Januar y a treat.

This past month the MLA hosted their annual AGM in a little bit of a different form. Due to COVID -19 we as a board decided to host our first and hopefully only zoom AGM meeting. We had a good turn out of breeders from across the province with all positive outlook on the future.

I would like to thank Travis Hunter for the past couple of years as president of the association. We look for ward to the exciting news that will come with Travis from being on the CLA board of direc tors. Also, I would like to thank Sherr y Daniel for her many years of dedication while ser ving on the board.

I would like to welcome Cher yl McPherson back to the board. I look for ward to work ing with Cher yl on many up -and- coming events.

If any breeders would like to adver tise in the News and Views please contac t one of the direc tors and they will be more than happy to help you. We are always look ing for new members also, if interested in joining the board please contac t anyone of the direc tors.

Our new board of direc tions for the Manitoba Limousin Association are: Kyle Wright – President Amanda Hamilton-Seward – Vice President Jay-Dean Smyth – Secretar y Bill Campbell – Treasurer Direc tors at Large: Travis Hunter, Ar t Rodgers, Bob Davey, Cher yl McPherson, Tim Davey, Larissa Stewar t, Peter McConnell, Trevor Atchison With calving season star ted or in the near future just want to remind all members that bull sale season will be coming up quick so keep an eye on the Manitoba Limousin Facebook page for breeders’ posts on bulls they have for sale by private treaty or up coming sales.

I would like to wish ever yone a good calving season and a good 2021.

Till Nex t Time Kyle Wr ight

Buying Power: Bull Selection to Improve Your Bottom Line Posted on January 9, 2020 by Beef Research3 If it hasn’t happened already, soon your mailboxes and inboxes will be filling up with catalogues for this year’s bull sales. How can you identify which bull is going to work best for your operation? Purchasing the best bull for your operation’s needs starts with good record keeping to identify your operation’s strengths and weaknesses. From there you can work to narrow down your search based on your breeding system, genetic goals and budget. The following tips can help guide you in the process of purchasing your next herd sire.

It’s not one size fits all when it comes to bull buying.

Breeding programs will be determined by operational goals and the management practices that fit those goals. A farm that auctions their calves at weaning may choose a crossbreeding program with high performance, while a farm that direct markets their beef may prefer the uniformity of a single breed.

There are many different types of bulls available, and effective sire selection requires an understanding of the available genetics as well as your own operation.

Aiming for complementarity of the bull’s genetics to your current cow herd and fit with your operational goals will contribute to increased revenue and reduced costs.

Each breed of cattle has distinct traits that allow them to excel in different geographical or managerial environments. Depending on the goals of the operation, a sire can be chosen that has the potential to make positive changes for your operation in the areas you’ve identified for improvement. The following article provides more information on the types of breeding systems that may work for your operation. http://www.beefresearch.ca/blog/bullselection-breeding-programs-that-suit-operationalgoals/ Consider both the short-term gain and the long-term investment.

Bull selection is one of the most important decisions for cow-calf producers, with implications for short- and long-term profitability of the operation.

6

MB Limousin News & Views Bull Issue 2021

The choice of bull can be immediately seen in the subsequent calf crop. If the operation retains heifers and/or bulls, the genetics in the selected bull will be passed down to subsequent generations.

Introducing new genetics is a permanent change to the herd, compared to the temporary nature of supplements or management practices. As such, bull selection can be seen as a long-term investment into the operation.

Research in the area of beef cattle genetics has been growing significantly. There are opportunities to improve profitability through sire selection. However, with a multitude of traits, breed differences, operational goals, and management practices, bull selection is a complex decision.

To assist with making bull selection decisions, consistent record keeping will help identify areas of strength and weakness in the herd and guide you towards the type of genetic change you want to see.

Over time your records will help monitor whether your changes have made the desired impacts. Once operational goals and breeding programs have been determined a producer can focus in on specific Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) to guide their bull selection. This article looks at how EPDs can be used to improve the traits you require for your operation. http://www.beefresearch.ca/blog/bullselection-what-are-you-looking-for/ Narrow down your search.

Given the plethora of EPDs available, trying to sort through ten or twenty individual EPDs that may not have relevance to your particular operation can easily lead to information overload, many breed association provide selection indexes that combine multiple traits with relevant weightings in order to combine several traits of interest into one number.

By focusing on Economically Relevant Traits (ERTs), you can eliminate those bits of information that will not directly impact your operation’s profitability.

Economically relevant traits are those that are directly associated with a source of revenue, or a cost. Not all EPDs represent ERTs – instead they use a related (or indicator) trait to estimate the ERT. One of the best examples is birth weight. Decreasing a bull’s birth weight by 5 lbs does not have any associated income or costs but is often used as a bull buying criteria in an effort to reduce calving problems.

The actual ERT in this case is calving ease, as an increase in calving problems will reduce calf survival (fewer calves to sell), incurs higher labour costs (pulling calves, or more time spent monitoring), and delays cow rebreeding (younger and lighter calves to sell next year). Birth weight is an indicator trait,

and although related to calving ease, birthweight only explains 36-64% of genetic variation between animals in calving ease. This article provides more information about ERTs and how you can narrow your selection focus to the EPDs that matter most for your breeding goals. http://www.beefresearch.ca/blog/ bull-selection-using-economically-relevant-traits/ Getting your money’s worth.

Identifying a fair price during sire selection contributes to higher efficiency in operational economics. To estimate breakeven bull price, a bull valuation calculator has been developed. The purpose is to provide a general idea of how much a bull is worth based on key farm parameters.

The value a bull provides depends on his individual performance, the environment (.g., pasture productivity), management (cow:bull ratio) and markets (calf price). For example, large framed bulls require more feed, leading to a higher maintenance cost, but that may be offset by heavier calves at sale time.

A bull’s value is delivered through the calves sired over a lifetime, the long-term genetic change of the herd, and salvage value at the end of a productive life.

The value provided depends on: •

cost factors(i.e., bull maintenance cost and death loss),

•

performance factors(i.e., years of service, the expected cow to bull ratio, expected weaning rate, expected weight of feeders, and proportion of the calf value attributed to the bull), and

•

price factors(i.e., expected price of feeders and salvage value).

MB L I M O USIN M AR K ET REPORT M a rket re p o r t fo r M an itob a Limou s in As soc ia tion

By R i c k Wr ig ht, He a r tlan d Ord e r Bu y in g Co. Unprecedented feed grain prices driven by expor t demand have put pressure on the feeder cattle market for the first Quar ter of 2021. The hardest hit are the cattle over 700 pounds that have to be placed on a finishing ration. Cattle that are light enough to go to pasture are ver y strong as cattle feeders are look ing long term and hoping for a good crop of barley and corn this year. Finishing costs are now over $1.20 per pound, while backgrounding rations using mostly silage are running at .90 cents.

The spread bet ween heifers and steers has closed from the fall run now but with the lower than expec ted prices I would expec t more heifers to be retained for summer breeding this year.

Packers continue to enjoy large profits har vesting fed cattle. The back log of finished cattle is getting whittled down on both sides of the border. Packer in Canada turned their focus on the fed cattle over cows, putting pressure on the cull cow market. The seasonal jump in cow prices in Januar y didn’t happen this year as packers were able to

14

MB Limousin News & Views Bull Issue 2021

secure enough supplies without having to pay more.

The COVID -19 outbreak in Ontario’s largest packer decreased the daily k ill causing a back log of fed cattle there. S ome market ready cattle were shipping to Alber ta for processing, however cattle feeders there are back up with fed cattle and have no pen space for new inventor y to arrive. This has hindered the market in M anitoba, as Ontario is a strong suppor ter of M anitoba feeder cattle.

Expor ts of feeders to the USA have been ver y limited this fall and spring. The market in Canada has been considerably higher combined with a strong Canadian dollar, most of the feeders going south are owned

by Canadians custom feeding rather than Americans purchasing.

I expec t ver y little change in the feeder cattle markets for the first half of 2021 unless grain prices drop considerably. Bred cow prices should be comparable to last fall with cull prices increasing slightly as supplies dwindle later in the spring.
