Feed Efficiency Backed by two decades of progeny feed intake data, ABS is the clear industry leader in proven feed efficiency genetics. Feed accounts for the biggest expense in beef production. Improved efficiency continues to be a primary research focus at ABS and a key point of emphasis in our product development and sire selection programs

4 Reduce feed costs 4 Improve efficiency & profitability 4 Get more out of existing resources 4 Lower cow maintenance costs 4 Better stewards of resources

BRUISER’s dam – S A V Bobbie 7463, Gardner Ranch Angus, UT

Look to EPDs for Dry Matter Intake (DMI) and Residual Average Daily Gain (RADG) as tools that deserve consideration in your breeding program. We also highly recommend considering bulls with progeny specifically tested for feed intake through programs like our Angus Sire Alliance partnership and Oklahoma State University testing programs.

Maternal Design The ABS Pasture to Plate focus has always started with the cow. When we evaluate bulls for the ABS program, maternal value and the bull’s dam, her cow family and the program behind the bull are all key components.

Daughter - Hoffman KFL Barbaramere 8519, Hoffman Ranch, NE

It’s about more than just productivity and nursing ratios. From our perspective, maternal design includes foot and udder quality as well as mature size are constant considerations.

4 Strong Maternal Output 4 Moderate Mature Size 4 Fleshing Ability & Efficiency 4 Soundness and Foot Quality

Daughter – Montana Primrose 8184, Pitts Angus Farm, MO

4 Teat and Udder Quality 4 Target matings with Sexcel The ideal cow varies by production system and herd. We recommend matching cow size to environment and breeding with the long term in mind. Consider utilizing Sexcel product to dial in your replacements out of not only the right bulls but also your best cows. Daughter - EA Rosetta 7361, Ellingson Angus, ND

For more information on bulls that excel in Maternal Design contact your local ABS Representative or call 1-800-ABS-STUD.

Make Matings with Intent

to build the best cowherd possible

The ABS “Pasture to Plate” philosophy has always started with the cow. We believe that a trouble free, productive, and sustainable maternal base is key to every beef production system. With sexed semen and improving maternal selection tools, building that maternal base today can be more targeted and precise than ever before. While we will continue to offer elite multi-purpose bulls in both conventional and sexed product, look for bulls whose primary purpose is maternal to be offered in the future through Sexcel Female Product only.

Synch A Better Way to Make Replacements ü Combine sexed semen & synchronization to maximize productivity and efficiency

ü Get replacements specifically designed for maternal value from your early calving cows

ü Harness the power of Sexcel to use the best female making bulls available

ü Once replacements are made, you have the flexibility to

add more power, pounds and terminal value to your late born calves

All Cows are Synchronized and fitted with Estrotect ™ patches

ü Add $50-$100 per calf with terminal matings ü 100 unit combination packages available at 60/40 special price levels

Example Sexed Semen Synch Protocol SEE PAGE 128 FOR ADDITIONAL PROTOCOLS AND CONSIDERATIONS

ü To optimize pregnancy success, it is

recommended to use sexed semen only on females that exhibit estrus before Fixed Time AI. Depending on the protocol used and condition of the females, we would expect to see approximately 60% of the females exhibit estrus.

ü Estrus Detection Aides (EDA)

like Estrotect™ patches are recommended for best results.

ü Conventional semen should be used on those females that have not displayed estrus prior to FTAI.


Resulting Calves ARE APPROXIMATELY

“We conducted a study in 2017 evaluating the use of Sexcel™ gender-skewed semen in conjunction with a fixed time AI protocol. Nearly 900 beef cows and heifers in six different herds were used in this project. Based on our experience, Sexcel™ gender-skewed semen can successfully be used in fixed-time AI protocols among animals that exhibit estrus.” Dr. George Perry, Texas A&M AgriLife Research


ABS Pasture to Plate ABS Pasture to Plate genetic evaluation system is designed to identify and deliver profit-oriented genetics that perform throughout the beef supply chain and provide added value for our commercial customers. These initial indexes focus on the terminal aspects of beef production specifically on the performance, quality and efficiency traits that drive end-product value. Pasture to Plate starts with the cow herd and ABS remains dedicated to also providing the best in current and progressive maternal solutions. Look for future maternal indexes and ask about our best cow-maker sires and sexed semen options today.

As of November 2021

Our indexes account for feed efficiency in a way that optimizes its value as part of an overall approach to balanced breeding, emphasizing its importance with growth and carcass. Our index models also provide for future-proofing, allowing us to account for market fluctuations and changing goal posts.” Scott Newman, Technical Director, New Business Development

76 | SPRING 2022

ABS Feed Efficiency index identifies the most profitable genetic combinations of feed intake and gain. Backed by over two decades of progeny feed intake data, ABS is the clear industry leader in proven feed efficiency genetics. Feed costs represent the biggest expense in beef production and improved feed efficiency continues to be a primary research focus at ABS and a key point of emphasis in our product development and sire selection programs.

• Reduce feed costs • Improve efficiency & profitability • Get more out of existing resources • Lower cow maintenance costs • Better stewardship of resources


ABS PASTURE TO PLATE GENETIC EVALUATION SYSTEM NuEra Terminal Genetics NuEra Terminal Genetics WHAT ABOUT MATERN AL TRAIT S At ABS, our philosophy has always been that “Pasture to Plate starts with the cow” and that a trouble free, productive and sustainable maternal base is key to every beef production system. Historically, building a cowherd through proven bulls has been one of the primary reasons that ABS commercial customers have used AI. We continue to support that effort as our primary mission and recommend using the best maternal genetics and the best maternal selection tools to build and add value to your cow herd. To add further support, look for an enhanced Maternal index as part of the ABS Pasture to Plate genetic evaluation system in the future.

TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES NEW OPPORTUNIT Y Today, Improvements in technology are also providing new opportunities both for increased and more targeted AI usage than ever before. • The economics of AI have never been better • Cow synchronization protocols are more reliable • Sexed semen technology enables targeted replacement production requiring fewer matings • This allows a larger portion of the cowherd to be available to maximize terminal beef production

DON’T COMPROMISE MAKE MATINGS WITH INTENT Rather than making all of your mating decisions to balance maternal and terminal traits and potentially lessen the effectiveness of both, consider a dual track approach that maximizes both in the right places. • Utilize AI with sexed female semen in a portion of your herd to build even better replacements to strengthen and sustain your maternal base.

TERMINAL GENETICS FOR A NEW ERA ABS NuEra genetics are a differentiated product of the ABS genetic nucleus program. The current NuEra T14 line has been developed and selected to improve terminal trait profitability by maximizing beef productivity, efficiency and sustainability. The NuEra T14 line has been designed as an ideal terminal solution for maximizing beef production from dairy cows. It is also an excellent option for commercial beef producers that are interested in maximizing end-product value in all or part of their herds.

MULTI-SIRE PACKS NuEra genetics are not available as individual sires but exclusively in heterospermic packs containing multiple bulls with similar elite index values. These multi-sire NuEra T14 packs are available in two levels designed to deliver only the best in genetic merit and fertility. • 29XB0185 NuEra T14 PROFIT PLUS – Top 25% US Beef Index • 29XB0186 NuEra T14 PROFIT PREMIER – Top 5% US Beef Index

• Target the balance of your cow herd to maximize terminal traits and enhance your payday with higher performing, more efficient, and more valuable feeder calves.

SEMEN qUALITY and sire health standards have always been a primary focus at ABS to insure that our product consistently delivers the best results and bio-security possible.

ABS has always been a leader in semen quality having assisted in the development of many of the techniques and protocols that are widely used in the industry today. More than 60 years of research have allowed ABS to develop processes and standards for semen production and processing that exceed industry norms. In addition, to protect the health and well being of the ABS bull population and provide our customers with the highest level of bio-security possible, ABS’ sire health standards exceed CSS minimum requirements. The vast majority of the beef semen marketed by ABS meets these stringent health and semen quality requirements and is classified as ABS normal PRIME quality.

If requested, other quality levels may be available on certain bulls including… CHOICE quality product of outsourced and certain high demand sires produced at ABS. This semen may not fully meet ABS’ normal PRIME semen quality standards but is within industry normal ranges and is fully CSS health qualified. PRIORITY semen will be available on a request only basis on certain early release bulls. Like much of the custom collection semen used in the U.S., this product has not had full health testing to meet CSS minimum standards. It is designed for producers that are interested in getting the earliest possible semen from high demand sires.

SEMEN qUALITY

SEMEN qUALITY • Influences fertility and conception rates achieved • Determined by the processes employed and standards used in evaluating accepted semen including semen morphology & motility • ABS utilizes processes and standards for semen production and evaluation that exceed industry norms

To the extent that the terms of a Written Contract conflict with these Terms, the terms of the Written Contract shall prevail. In the event these Terms differ from terms and conditions on ABS printed forms, these Terms shall prevail. In these Terms, the word “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” WAIVER, SEVERABILITY & ASSIGNMENT. ABS’s failure to enforce any provision of the Terms is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign any of your rights under these Terms, and any such attempt shall be void. ABS may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with ABS. MODIFICATION. ABS may revise these Terms from time to time, and will post the most current version on our website. You are bound by any revision and should review these Terms periodically. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid, void, or unenforceable for any reason, that provision shall be severed and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining provision, and the parties shall substitute for the invalid provision a provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision.

SEXED SEMEN PROTOCOLS - 2022

Use of sexed semen can result in conception rates that are decreased compared to conventional semen used in the same situation.

HEAT DETECTION Sexed semen can be used on any female observed in estrus (heat) and synchronized with any heat detection protocols on the original Protocol Sheet for conventional semen. Use estrus detection aids (EDA) for detecting females. For best results perform AI 12 to 18 hours after detecting female in estrus.

FIXED-TIME AI (TAI)

To optimize pregnancy success, it is recommended to use sexed semen on females that have exhibited estrus before FTAI and conventional semen on females that have not exhibited estrus.

7 & 7 SYNCH

A NEWLY RESEARCHED ESTRUS SYNCHRONIZATION PROTOCOL FOR POSTPARTUM BEEF COWS R.C. Bonacker, C.M. Andersen, J.M. Thomas University of Missouri - Division of Animal Science

Adapted with permission from University of Missouri Extension

OVERVIEW

7 & 7 SYNCH FOR FIXED-TIME AI

Researchers at the University of Missouri recently evaluated a new protocol for synchronization of estrus among postpartum beef cows. This protocol was found to be highly effective both for cows receiving embryo transfer (ET) and cows receiving fixed-time artificial insemination (AI). Extensive field trials with the 7 & 7 Synch observed improvements in the proportion of cows expressing estrus and in the proportion of cows becoming pregnant to embryo transfer or to AI.

An additional large-scale field trial was conducted to compare the 7 & 7 Synch and the 7-day CO-Synch + CIDR protocols for synchronization of estrus among postpartum beef cows prior to fixed-time AI. To assess field fertility of both sex-sorted and conventional semen, half of the cows assigned to each protocol received sex-sorted semen (SexedULTRA 4M®) and half received conventional semen. The trial took place in eleven locations across Missouri and South Dakota and included over 1,500 postpartum beef cows of varying ages, postpartum intervals, and body condition scores. 7 & 7 Synch significantly increased the proportion of cows expressing estrus prior to fixed-time AI (Table 2). Additionally, 7 & 7 Synch resulted in increased pregnancy rates to fixed-time AI when using conventional or sex-sorted semen (Table 3).

7 & 7 SYNCH Researchers at the University of Missouri have extensively evaluated a new estrus synchronization protocol, 7 & 7 Synch, as an improved method to synchronize estrus among postpartum beef cows. Research efforts have included an initial data-intensive pilot project designed to characterize endocrine and ovarian changes that occur coincident with administration of the protocol, an extensive field trial evaluating this approach for synchronization among recipients prior to embryo transfer, and an additional extensive field trial evaluating 7 & 7 Synch with fixed-timed AI using both conventional and sex-sorted semen. Results indicate a significant increase in the proportion of cows expressing estrus following synchronization and in the pregnancy rates achieved. The protocol (Figure 1) begins on Day 0 with prostaglandin F2α (PG) administered at the time of CIDR® insertion. On Day 7, GnRH is administered, and CIDR remain in place at this time. On Day 14, PG is administered at CIDR removal. On Day 17, timed AI is performed at 66 h after CIDR removal and PG administration. GnRH is administered at the time of timed AI to non-estrous cows or administered to all cows if estrous status is unknown.

Initial Research Data

Figure 1. 7 & 7 Synch with Fixed-Time AI

CAN 7 & 7 SYNCH BE USED IN HEIFERS? Use of this protocol in virgin beef heifers has not been evaluated in comparison to other commonly used protocols and is not recommended at this time. SHOULD I USE ESTRUS DETECTION AIDS? Estrus detection aids (e.g. Estrotect® Breeding Indicators) can aid in important management decisions. Animals that express estrus prior to fixedtime AI have a higher likelihood of becoming pregnant. Costly semen such as sexed semen can be restricted to animals who have expressed estrus, while lower cost semen can be used for non-estrous animals. In addition, GnRH can be given to only those animals who have not yet expressed estrus at the time of fixed-time AI. IS THE EXTRA PG AND THE TRIP THROUGH THE CHUTE WORTH IT? While this answer is based on each individual operation, the increased pregnancy rates resulting from the 7 & 7 Synch protocol offer an opportunity for increased profitability depending on the value of the early pregnancies obtained. In most cases, the value of early pregnancies as well as the year-to-year improvement in reproductive performance is expected to outweigh the cost of one additional dose of PG and animal handling.

R E SYN CHRONIZATION By Nicky Oosthuizen, PhD

WHAT IS RESYNCHRONIZATION? Resynchronization is when estrus synchronization is performed in heifers or cows that have previously been exposed to estrus synchronization and fixed-time artificial insemination (TAI). By incorporating a second round of estrus synchronization and AI producers are able to increase the number of females that conceive to superior AI sires within the breeding season. If more females are pregnant to AI, then there is also potential to reduce the number of clean-up bulls required to cover the remaining non-pregnant females. In addition, estrus detection of females that return to estrus after the first exposure to AI may be eliminated. When resynchronizing, pregnancy status does not necessarily need to be known. However, only non-pregnant females should receive prostaglandin (PG) as pregnant females may abort.

females receive a CIDR insert and an injection of GnRH. Seven days later the CIDRs are removed and pregnancy diagnosis is performed on all females. Only non-pregnant females receive an injection of PG and are TAI either 54 hours (heifers) or 66 hours (cows) later. Research has shown that only heifers require a CIDR insert in this resynchronization strategy and that a CIDR is unnecessary in cows (Epperson et al., 2020). If insemination after estrus detection is preferred to a second round of TAI, then females can simply be resynchronized with a CIDR insert. A CIDR is inserted 12 days after TAI and is removed 7 days later (Figure 3). Estrus detection and AI are performed following the removal of the CIDR.

RESYNCHRONIZATION WITH KNOWN PREGNANCY STATUS This resynchronization strategy (Figure 1) is started a minimum of 28 days after the first round of TAI. Pregnancy diagnosis is performed on all females and all females determined to be non-pregnant receive an injection of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and a CIDR insert. Seven days later the CIDRs are removed and non-pregnant females receive an injection of PG. TAI is then performed 54 hours (heifers) or 66 hours (cows) later. Using this strategy all non-pregnant females get exposed to a second round of TAI and synchronization hormones are only used on non-pregnant females.

Figure 1. Resynchronization after pregnancy determination

Figure 2. Resynchronization before pregnancy determination

WILL THESE HORMONES AFFECT FEMALES THAT ARE PREGNANT WHEN PREGNANCY STATUS IS UNKNOWN? A CIDR insert contains progesterone, the hormone of pregnancy. In a pregnant female, a corpus luteum will naturally be producing progesterone to maintain pregnancy; therefore, the additional progesterone from the CIDR device will not harm the developing embryo. Administration of GnRH will induce ovulation of mature follicles. If ovulation occurs, a corpus luteum will form that produces progesterone, which again, will not harm the developing fetus. Although neither progesterone or GnRH will negatively affect a developing fetus, PG will likely cause an abortion in pregnant females due to its ability to regress the corpus luteum and inhibit progesterone from being produced. Therefore, PG should only be administered to nonpregnant females.

RESYNCHRONIZATION WITH UNKNOWN PREGNANCY STATUS By resynchronizing females before pregnancy status is known there is an opportunity to begin resynchronization a week earlier and breed non-pregnant females sooner. This strategy (Figure 2) is started a minimum of 21 days after the first round of TAI, before pregnancy diagnosis has been performed. All

THINGS TO REMEMBER:

ü Resynchronization is meant to be used as a tool to increase the number of females that conceive to

genetically superior sires ü Pregnancy rates to resynchronization are often slightly decreased compared with the first round of insemination, as more fertile females have likely already become pregnant to the first insemination ü Always keep handling stress to a minimum in resynchronization programs to minimize the potential for pregnancy loss associated with stress 130ü | SPRING Do not 2022 administer PG to heifers or cows that may be pregnant
