Fall 2024 Beef Focal Point by ABS Global, Inc.

FALL 2024 BEEF

POINT

At a Glance

What creates value for your operation? This is a question every beef producer should be thinking about as we continue in a period of tremendous opportunity driven by record low cow numbers. All cattle will be worth a lot in the coming years but creating true value both for your individual operation and the industry as a whole will put you in the driver’s seat. For example, as a seedstock producer, your choices in genetics have ramifications for your customers and how their cattle work in the industry. Commercial producers must think about the endpoint of their calves and understand the costs and revenues genetics inﬂuence as well as consumer demand.

Being intentional about the genetics you use in your operations is the foundation of our strategy: Make Matings with Intent. It strategically identifies what you need to accomplish and how to achieve it by creating each pregnancy with the right purpose. Today, you have more tools and more information at your disposal than ever before to maximize value. Sexed semen in particular is a game changer that gives you the ability to target matings for specific outcomes from specific cows.

Our industry is in exciting and uncharted territory as we head into one of the smallest calf crops ever and see the demand established by consumers for higher quality cattle. The revenue generated by the best calves will still outdistance the average calf, but the cost to play the game has changed and mitigating risk by understanding the genetics of cattle will become more important. The choices you make today set up the future of your herd and ultimately, your success and your customers.

ABS would like to be your genetic partner in creating more value for your operation. This year’s Focal Point is designed to support you in making mating with intent through our tools, technology, and sire lineups.

Spotlight Perspective

The ABS Lineup Through a Maternal Lens

PASTURE TO PLATE STARTS WITH THE COW

ABS understands that nothing happens in the beef business without the right maternal base. With that said, we know maternal means different things for different producers. It’s about the data but also much more. Structural soundness, udder quality, cow family history, production records, and other characteristics not fully explained by an EPD are also critical components.

We’ve designed this year’s Focal Point to better describe some of our key maternally oriented sires. We’ve added Maternal Checklist items and changed from an all-purpose perspective to a maternal perspective in highlighting EPDs on those bulls to assist you in making the best choices for your cow herd. We believe in the power of data and suggest that maternal indexes are a great place to start since they combine key maternal traits, their economic value, and associated costs.

While traditional all-purpose mating strategies have served the industry well, today there is also another approach to consider. With sexed semen, producers can now implement precision breeding strategies to eliminate compromises, emphasizing more focused maternal selection on a portion of their herd while simultaneously maximizing terminal value from females not needed to produce replacements. Check out our Sexcel® 60/40 Synch program starting on page 40 as an example of this approach.

Maternal traits are highlighted in green based on the parameters outlined on this page or the top 35% if not speciﬁed.

Carcass merit traits and endpoint value indexes are also emphasized and highlighted in gold, as they will contribute ongoing value to future progeny.

KEY MATERNAL COMPONENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS

FERTILITY & LONGEVITY

Improve Fertility However Possible

» While low-heritable traits like fertility can be best improved through crossbreeding, they should also receive emphasis from a maternal selection standpoint.

» Heifer Pregnancy (HP) EPDs are highlighted here.

Longevity is a Key Maternal Driver

» Productive Longevity is a critical component of cowherd sustainability and proﬁtability.

» Simmental and Red Angus oﬀer Stayability EPDs while the Hereford breed publishes Sustained Cow Fertility (SCF).

ADAPTABILITY

Adaptability Traits Are Important

» Diﬀerent environments bring diﬀerent challenges and tolerances.

» Hair Shedding (HS) and Pulmonary Arterial Pressure (PAP) are traits that can have signiﬁcant regional maternal importance.

Avoid Extremes for Milk

» Milk needs vary by environment, but generally, we recommend avoiding both extremes.

» The middle 60% of the population for Milk EPD is highlighted.

EFFICIENCY

Reduce Mature Size and Dry Matter Intake

» Feed costs are the largest production expense for cow-calf producers.

» Dry Matter Intake (DMI) and Mature Size (MH, MW & MCW) EPDs in the smallest 50% of the population are highlighted.

FOUNDATION TRAITS

Foot Quality and Docility Are Key

» Improved Foot Quality (Claw & Angle) and Docility (Doc) are components that favorably contribute to both producer satisfaction and cowherd longevity.

Enhance Teat and Udder Quality

» Udder quality pays dividends both in terms of convenience and longevity. The Hereford breed oﬀers EPDs for both Udder Suspension (US) and Teat Size (TS).

Don’t Compromise Maternal Calving Ease

» Overlooking Maternal Calving Ease comes with signiﬁcant risk.

MATERNAL PERFORMANCE

Calving Ease

» While calving ease is typically only a concern when breeding heifers, we recommend a moderate and consistent emphasis on calving ease within the cowherd to avoid future problems.

» Top 35% for Calving Ease (CE) and top 50% for Birth Weight (BW) are highlighted.

Weaning and Yearling Growth

» Increased performance is generally a positive, but from a maternal perspective, it must be balanced against larger mature size and input costs.

ADAPTABILITY

» Weaning Weight (WW) and Yearling Weight (YW) in the top 60% or better are highlighted.

Navigate the Beef Industry’s ‘Fork in the Road’ With Tools and Genetics

SHOULD YOU CHOOSE MATERNAL? SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TERMINAL? OR CAN YOU HAVE BOTH?

There is a fork in the road for beef producers, and it presents an opportunity to optimize your breeding program. You can choose either direction or take both at the same time, because each path is achievable with today’s genetics, tools, and technology.

The fork represents the vast difference between genetics that maximize feedlot and carcass performance versus genetics that optimize maternal efficiency and profitability at the farm or ranch level. Some producers have already reached this juncture and are indecisive about which path to take. While that is understandable, it is key to remember that the decision to breed “down the middle” and not embrace diverging paths could result in sacrificing maternal or terminal traits.

Historically, a bull had to do everything well, from pasture to plate. Today, with tools like fixed-time AI and sexed semen, you can laser-focus your breeding decisions to create maternally efficient replacement females and exceptionally profitable feeder cattle without sacrifice. Whether you are concerned about sustainability, efficiency, or making the most of your resources at hand, embracing the ‘Fork in the Road’ may be your solution to maximizing profitability. And the most exciting part is you no longer need to compromise because of strategies like Sexcel® 60/40 Synch.

CONSIDERATIONS

TO MAINTAIN A COW HERD

» Cow size

» Feed intake

» Fertility

» Longevity

» Maternal calving ease

» Convenience traits

» Milk

EXPECTATIONS OF THE BEEF SUPPLY CHAIN & CONSUMERS

» High-performing, healthy cattle

» Feed eﬃciency

» High-quality carcasses

» Exceptional eating experience

The beauty of a Sexcel 60/40 Synch strategy is the ability to take both forks, maternal and terminal, at the same time. This breeding program gives you the power to strategically design replacement females out of the right cows while maximizing performance and profitability on calves destined for the beef supply chain. Sexcel 60/40 Synch is your tool for creating the right pregnancies for your goals.

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% 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% 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.

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

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

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

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

Capitalize on the Best Terminal Genetics in the Business

NuEra Genetics®, ABS Global’s proprietary terminal genetic line, was initiated in 2014 to improve profitability through focused terminal genetic selection. NuEra Genetics includes a composite line that has been designed as an ideal terminal solution by maximizing productivity, efficiency, and sustainability. These bulls make an excellent option for commercial beef producers that are interested in maximizing calf crop value.

GENETICS DESIGNED WITH THE END IN MIND

Since 2018, ABS has been collecting data from heifers that are not selected to stay within our donor population, but rather have been fed to harvest. On average, they consistently exceeded industry standards for quality grade and yield.

NuEra Genetics are available in heterospermic packs that contain multiple bulls with similar elite index values. These heterospermic packs are designed to maximize terminal profitability and conception rates. Today, there are two multi-sire packs available: 29XB1057 PROFIT PREMIER and 29XB1058 PROFIT PLUS. Make matings with intent with a product line designed to perform and impact your bottom line.

A select set of NuEra Genetics are available in individual Sexcel male product only. If your goal is to increase commercial calf crop value and pay weight, consider ABS Sexcel male product from our exclusive NuEra program. Sexed male product will add genetic performance and value and deliver a higher percentage of more valuable male calves.

Leverage the Power of the ABS Pasture to Plate™ Evaluation

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.

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.

ADG (Average Daily Gain)

» Higher is generally better.

» Use to directly compare bulls of similar index value.

EFFICIENCY Index:

» Reﬂects the economic value of post weaning feed conversion.

» Use alongside the US Beef Index to identify profitable sires that move the needle for feed efficiency.

CARCASS Index:

» Reﬂects the economic value of key carcass traits including carcass weight, marbling, ribeye area, and back fat.

» 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.

Pasture to Plate Genetic Evaluation

Maximize Profit With End Product Profitability

A quality end product and increased pounds are key economic drivers in the entire beef supply chain. Our customers interested in retaining ownership and endpoint profitability need sires that excel in growth performance, feed efficiency, and carcass merit. Angus sires in the Performance and End Product Profitability section or our NuEra Genetics lineup are identified as excelling for these traits.

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.
