Fall 2023 Beef Focal Point

FOCAL POINT

Profit from Genetic Progress

At a Glance

Make Matings with Intent–as we head into 2024 with the smallest cow herd in the last 60 years, every mating you make has the potential to be one of the biggest decisions you can make. We are looking at all classes of cattle selling for prices that are unheard of in the coming year, and the demand is for high quality cattle. The genetics you use define the future opportunities of those resulting calves. You only get a few chances in each cow’s lifetime to optimize the value of her calf. Not all cows should be targeted for the same outcome, so utilizing the tools available to you is critical.

ABS Global® is uniquely positioned to help you Make Matings with Intent. We offer a broad lineup of sires to fit different needs and breeding outcomes. Today, you can get calving ease without sacrificing, make exactly the females you want with Sexcel®, or be more efficient making bulls for your sales. We have tools, like ABS Sexcel 60/40, that consider not only the right females to reduce costs but also the highest profit potential feeder calves. If you are looking to maximize the value of your feeders, using the ABS U.S. Beef Index will point you to bulls that excel for profit backed with data. In the end, our job is to help you reach your goals and be profitable with genetic selection, so you can use your time caring for your livestock, managing your business, and enjoying life with your family.

Manage Input Costs With Feed Efficiency

Backed by over two decades of progeny feed intake data, ABS is the industry leader in the proven feed efficiency genetics space. Sires in our Feed Efficiency section have been selected because they excel in traits associated with improving efficiency and profitability. When looking to improve feed efficiency, the ABS Pasture to Plate™ Feed Efficiency Index helps identify the most profitable combinations of intake and gain.

ABS FEED EFFICIENCY INDEX

Feed costs are the largest expense in beef production, which is why improved efficiency continues to be a key focus of research at ABS. With this in mind, we have developed the ABS Feed Efficiency Index as a part of our Pasture to Plate Genetic Evaluation System. This index is backed by more than 13,000 individual feed intake records. We recommend considering bulls with progeny that have been specifically tested for feed intake.

TOP 30 ABS ACTIVE & PROVEN SIRES - FEED EFFICIENCY INDEX

WHY FEED EFFICIENCY MATTERS?

Identifying sires that work in customer systems and maintain or reduce input cost is part of ABS Global’s Pasture to Plate mindset. Look for sires with the ABS Pasture to Plate Genetic Evaluation table and analyze their Efficiency Index value, ranking, and number of progeny records.

» Reduce Feed Costs

» Improve Efficiency and Profitability

» Get More Out of Existing Resources

Let the ABS Feed Efficiency Index do the work for you by identifying the most efficient and profitable genetics in terms of feed intake and gain.

Use Sexcel

and 60/40 Synch to Make the Right Replacements for Your Herd

60 40 SYNCH

THE 60 IN THE EQUATION:

Sexcel® 60/40 Synch is a strategic breeding program that gives you the power to design replacement heifers from the right segment of your cows while maximizing performance and endpoint value of the remainder of your calf crop.

Take advantage of the convenience of estrus synchronization protocols to identify your most fertile cows. Well-managed herds can expect more than 60 percent of the females to display estrus by scheduled breeding time when utilizing the 7-day Co-synch + CIDR protocol.

THE END RESULT:

THE 40 IN THE EQUATION:

The remaining 40 percent of cows should be bred via timed AI to terminally oriented bulls. To reap the most benefits from the program, all females should be exposed to clean-up sires that excel for growth performance and endpoint value.

A calf crop composed of 30-35% designed, AI-sired replacement heifers and 65-70% high-value feeder calves.

~60%

Females that display estrus with fully activated patches are time AI’d with Sexcel semen from maternally designed bulls

~40%

Females that do not display estrus are time AI’d with conventional semen from terminally oriented bulls

All cows are synchronized and fitted with Estrotect™ patches. All cows are exposed to a terminally-oriented sire for clean up.

RESULTING CALVES

ARE APPROXIMATELY

65%

35%

Terminally Oriented Steer & heifer calves to market (includes both AI and natural service calves)

Maternally Designed AI sired heifer calves to retain

Estrus detection aids make it simple to identify cows that have displayed estrus at the time of AI. By inseminating only cows that display estrus with Sexcel female semen, you are indirectly selecting the earliest calving and most reproductively efficient cows to be the mothers of the next generation of replacement females.

Three years into our large-scale, commercial demonstration project with the Bair Ranch, in Martinsdale, Montana, it is becoming clear that we can reliably make 30-35% of a calf crop as designed replacement heifers using the Sexcel 60/40 Synch concept in well-managed cow herds.

Kenny Wells, ABS Beef Genetic Program Development Lead

Build Your Best Cowherd

ABS Global’s long-standing Pasture to Plate™ mindset starts with the cow. A cowherd that is trouble-free, productive, and has a strong maternal base is necessary for a sustainable beef production system. Sires in our Maternal Design section excel for maternal traits that matter in the cowherd.

With the enhancements in sexed semen production and maternal selection tools, building that ‘perfect’ female for your production system is more achievable than ever before with targeted and precise genetic selection. This is the foundation of ‘Make Matings with Intent.’ Be strategic in genetic selection and reach your goals by selecting the right females to mate with the right sires.

At ABS, we believe bulls with maternal focus offer:

✓ Strong Maternal Output

✓ Fleshing Ability and Foot Quality

✓ Docility, Improved Udder Traits, and Fertility

✓ Effi ciency and Restrained Mature Size

Study the sires on the following pages to build your best cowherd and target maternal matings with Sexcel sexed female product.

EXCLUSIVE SYSTEM BUILT FOR YOU

The Pasture to Plate™ Genetic Evaluation is an exclusive program designed to test progeny of ABS bulls in real world environments and turn that information into tools that will help you select the right genetics to meet your operation’s goals Our team uses genomics, phenotypic information, and two decades worth of ABS progeny test data to generate selection indexes you can apply directly to your herd.

HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE DATA

Our genetic evaluation system is a product of our foundation and our past. It was built purposely to identify sires that generate the most profitable feeder cattle in the beef supply chain. This is the very system that we use today to drive genetic progress in our NuEra Genetics program, designed specifically with profitability and the beef supply chain in mind.

Interested in NuEra Genetics?

Check out pages 44-45.

OUR PAST LED US HERE

Challenging the status quo is not new to ABS. In the 1960s, ABS initiated the first large scale, multi-herd progeny test program which was used to screen new bulls added to the ABS lineup. In 1973, ABS published the first EPDs from our progeny test program data. The foundation of ABS was built on data collection and progeny testing. Pioneering in this space of the industry is part of our DNA.

Our system is independent of breed associations and has been developed to allow for across-breed comparison of Angus and Simmental influence bulls on an equal basis. Designed as a straightforward way to evaluate post-weaning profitability, you can have confidence that you are selecting the right sires for you to maximize total end product profit.

DATA SOURCES FOR THE EVALUATION SYSTEM

Each year more data is added to our evaluation as we continue our focus on data collection and demonstration of genetics at work. Monthly updates to the evaluation incorporate genomics and phenotypic records on tens of thousands of animals from our internal database including progeny test data. It also includes an industry-leading repository of feed intake data collected through ABS programs.

Today our U.S. evaluation system includes more than 13,000 individual feed intake records and exceeds 65,000 carcass records. A comprehensive data set that you can trust when selecting sires for endpoint profitability.

INTAKE (Dry Matter Intake)

» Lower is generally better.

» Use to directly compare bulls of similar index value.

» Use in conjunction with the US Beef Index to identify sires that will maximize net carcass value.

US BEEF Index:

» An economic index designed to identify sires whose progeny will most efficiently convert resources to pounds of quality carcass weight and total endpoint profitability.

» Use to select sires that will maximize the terminal value of a calf crop.

Look for this chart to identify the highest indexing bulls.

ABS GLOBAL’S PROPRIETARY U.S. BEEF INDEX

Our U.S. Beef Index is a terminal profit selection index that is expressed as dollars of profitability per head of progeny. This is an economic selection index that considers historical cattle and feed prices and a future-looking estimate of feed costs in its calculation. Our proprietary index is calculated using a host of data sources including our progeny test programs and long-time industry partners.

TOP 30 ABS ACTIVE SIRES US BEEF TERMINAL INDEX

This index is an ideal tool for producers who are looking to segment their cowherd for a maternal-terminal system like the Sexcel 60/40 Synch program, or those who simply aim to maximize the terminal value of an entire calf crop.

SEXED SEMEN PROTOCOLS

For additional synchronization protocols visit BeefRepro.org

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 following synchronization with any protocol on the Cow or Heifer Protocol Sheet. For best results with sexed semen perform AI 16 to 22 hr after detecting female in estrus. Use of estrus detection aids (EDA) is highly recommended.

FIXED-TIME AI

Time for Fixed-time AI (TAI) should be considered as the approximate average time of insemination based on the number of females to inseminate, labor, and facilities. To optimize pregnancy success, it is recommended to use sexed semen on females that have exhibited estrus before TAI and conventional semen on females that have not exhibited estrus.

COWS HEIFERS

7-day CO-Synch+CIDR®

Perform TAI with GnRH at 72 ± 2 hr after PG.

7-day CO-Synch+CIDR®

Perform TAI with GnRH at 60 to 66 hr after PG.

HEIFERS ONLY

PG-7 7-day CO-Synch+CIDR®

Perform TAI with GnRH 72 ± 2 hr after second PG. Heifers in estrus receive sexed semen, heifers not in estrus receive conventional semen. All heifers can also be inseminated with either sexed or conventional semen.

SPLIT-TIME AI (STAI)

Perform first TAI 66 ± 2 hr after PG in estrous females. GnRH administered at second TAI only in non-estrous females. Females detected in estrus by first or second TAI receive sexed semen. Females not in estrus receive conventional semen at second TAI.
