HEALTH DECLARATIONS A number of health requirements for animals entered in Society Sales are in place in order to raise the health standard of Sale animals and to provide clearer information to prospective purchasers. Information regarding health status, testing, and declarations are as at time of catalogue publication: CHeCS Membership All Society Sale Vendors must be members of a CHeCS health scheme.

Health Declarations A Health Declaration signed by the Vendor is required for each herd. Information taken from this Declaration is included under the Index of Vendors below, which relates to the herd’s health status, TB testing, its Johnes risk level, and to BVD testing of the individual sale animals. A copy of the Declaration with full information is attached to each Vendor’s group of pens.

Bovine Tuberculosis (TB) All vendors have signed a Declaration stating that the animals they have entered in this Sale have been TB tested within 60 days prior to the date of the Sale.

Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD) It is an obligatory requirement of the Society that each Sale animal is from a herd that is accredited free of BVD under a CHeCS health scheme or has been tested negative for the BVD antigen. All Sale animals must also have completed a BVD vaccination course at least one month prior to the Sale and (for heifers) at least one month prior to service.

Johnes All animals are from herds CHeCS certified as risk levels 1, 2 or 3 only.

Definition of levels within the Johne’s Disease Accreditation Programme (CHeCS) Level 1: Herds must have had three consecutive clear herd tests at annual intervals.

The first of these cannot be sooner than 12 months following the identification of a Johne’s disease reactor in the herd. Level 1 will be further defined by stating the year in which the herd achieved level 1 accreditation.

Level 2: This applies to all herds that have had an initial, or two consecutive, clear tests, but are yet to achieve level 1 status. The first of these clear tests cannot be sooner than 12 months following identification of a Johne’s disease reactor in the herd.

Level 3: These are herds that have reactors identified within the herd, but the number of reactors must not exceed 3% of the herd eligible for testing in the Johne’s programme (cattle two years of age and older). In herds with fewer than 33 eligible animals no more than one of these is a reactor.

Level 4: These herds have more than 3% of eligible animals identified as reactors, or in herds with fewer than 33 eligible animals more than one of these is a reactor.

Level 5: These herds may be carrying out a testing programme, but are not adhering to the mandatory requirements of the programme.

MYOSTATIN STATUS – a brief explanation Myostatin has been identified as a muscle growth controller gene. When it is “switched off” or “deleted”, muscle can continue to grow unchecked. Hence the loose term “double muscling”. Whether this is desirable or not depends on individual breeding programmes.

All pedigree registered bulls are DNA tested to determine their myostatin status, such information being published in the catalogue. Although it is not obligatory to test females for myostatin status, some breeders choose to do so and the result is published where known. The status is expressed as either: 0 1 2

Meaning no copy of the deleted myostatin gene, Meaning one copy of the deleted myostatin gene (inherited from one or other parent), or Meaning two copies of the deleted myostatin gene (inherited from both parents)

Because genes are inherited (one copy from each parent to make a pair), it follows that the bull will pass on 50% of his genetics to his progeny: so if a bull has one gene copy (1) there is a 50% chance that the deletion will be passed on; if he has two copies (2) he will definitely pass on one copy of the deletion; and likewise if there is no deletion (0) then the progeny will have at least one negative in his typing. The other 50% of the progeny’s make-up will come from the dam.

The most frequent myostatin variant in the South Devon breed is ‘nt821’. A smaller number of animals in the breed are positive for the ‘F94L’ variant which can be associated with lower birth weight.

The implications for an animal having one or two copies of the ‘nt821’ deletion have been researched by the Roslin Institute. Their findings were that this particular deletion tends to improve muscle conformation, reduce fat, and increase hot weight at slaughter.

But it also tends to increase birthweight, decrease calving ease, reduce weight gain, reduce internal organ and bone size, and reduce eating quality. These effects are most obvious when the animal has two copies (2) of the ‘nt821’ variant, one inherited from each parent.

For further information, please contact the Breed Secretary or Neogen (Igenity).

UNDERSTANDING BREEDPLAN PERFORMANCE RECORDING ESTIMATED BREEDING VALUES (EBVs) The EBV is the best estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for that trait. Each breed’s EBVs are calculated specifically for that breed, for comparisons within the breed, and there can be no cross comparison between breeds.

Accuracy An accuracy value is presented with every EBV and gives an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of that EBV. The higher the accuracy the lower the likelihood of change in the animal’s EBV as more information is analysed for that animal or its relatives. Low accuracies should be treated with caution.

Calving Ease Calving Ease EBVs are based on calving difficulty scores, birth weights and gestation length information. Negative EBVs mean more difficult calving whilst positive EBVs mean easier calving.

Direct: Direct calving ease indicates how this bull influences the birth of its progeny.

High negatives are bad whilst high positives are good.

Daughters: Daughter’s calving ease indicates how well the animal produces daughters that have easier calving. This is an important trait if you are breeding your own replacements. Again, high negatives are bad whilst high positives are good.

BIRTH AND FERTILITY Gestation Length: Gestation Length EBVs (days) are based on AI records and observed natural service. Lower (negative) Gestation Length EBVs indicate shorter gestation lengths which generally relate to easier calving and increased growth after birth.

Birthweight: Birth Weight EBV (kg) is based on the measured birth weight of animals, adjusted for dam age. The lower the value the lighter the calf at birth and the lower the likelihood of a difficult birth. This is particularly important when selecting sires for use over heifers.

Scrotal Size: Scrotal Size EBV (cm) is an indicator of male fertility in regards to semen quality and quantity. Higher (positive) EBVs indicate higher fertility. There is also a small negative correlation with age of puberty in female progeny ie, the daughters of bulls with larger testicles may come into season at an earlier age.

GROWTH Milk: 200-Day Milk EBV (kg) is an estimate of an animal’s milking ability. For sires, this EBV is indicative of their daughter’s milking ability as it affects the 200-day weight of their calves. Bulls with high 200 day milk EBVs have more milky daughters.

200: 200-Day Growth EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of the animals taken between 80 and 300 days of age. Values are adjusted to 200 days and for dam age.

This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for growth to early ages. The higher the 200 day EBV then the higher the suckled calf or weaning weight.

400: 400-Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 301 and 500 days of age, adjusted to 400 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for yearling weight. Higher 400 day EBVs indicate earlier maturing progeny with a greater weight at an earlier age.

600: 600-Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 501 and 900 days of age, adjusted to 600 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for growth beyond yearling age.

Mature Cow Weight: Mature Cow Weight EBV (kg) is an estimate of the genetic difference in cow weight at 5 years of age. Moderate or larger EBVs are generally more favourable.

CARCASE Carcase Weight: Carcase Weight EBV (kg) estimates the genetic difference in carcase weight at a standard age of 650 days. An important trait for finished cattle production.

Eye Muscle Area: Eye Muscle Area EBV (cm2) estimates genetic differences in eye muscle area of a 300 kg dressed carcase. More positive EBVs indicate better muscling on animals.

Fat: Rib Fat EBV (mm) estimates the genetic differences in fat depth at the rib in a 300 kg dressed carcase. More positive EBVs indicate more subcutaneous fat and earlier maturity, leading to a higher fat classification in slaughtered progeny.

Retail Beef Yield %: Retail Beef Yield Percent EBV (%) represents total (boned out) meat yield as a percentage of a 300 kg dressed carcase. A more positive EBV indicates higher percentage yield for the 300 kg carcase size. This is an important trait in finished steers and heifers.

QUALITY BEEF INDEX The South Devon Quality Beef Index is a combination of all traits into a single figure and is a measure of a terminal sire’s ability to produce prime steers and heifers for the finished market whilst maintaining calving ease at a reasonable level.

SUCKLER REPLACEMENT INDEX The Suckler Replacement Index ranks bulls by their genetic potential for the production of female replacements while producing prime steers and excess heifers for beef production, with emphasis on calving ease and maternal traits.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS The animals in this catalogue are offered for sale subject to the National Beef Association’s standard Terms and Conditions of Sale.

These Terms and Conditions of Sale contain limitations to your rights, and prospective purchasers should appraise themselves of the contents before the sale commences.

They have been drafted to form a fair and reasonable basis for the contract between the vendor and purchaser to give you, as prospective purchasers, confidence in the animals offered for sale. The Terms and Conditions of Sale will be displayed in the Auctioneer’s Office in and around the Sale premises on the day of the Sale.

They are also available in a booklet which is obtainable upon request from the Auctioneers, and all purchasers will be offered a copy when they settle their accounts.

POST-PURCHASE MANAGEMENT OF YOUNG BULLS Advice from Ian Pritchard, Beef Specialist, SAC Purchase Buy well in advance to allow time to settle – make it a planned rather than a last minute decision. Recommendation is to buy at autumn sale for early spring use or early spring sale for late spring use or May sale for autumn use.

On getting the bull home, isolate him for a month. Check his working capability and health and vaccinate/treat as necessary. Try and minimise stress.

Remember, a short working life increases cost. Insurance companies may refuse claims in cases of unsatisfactory management of a bull (see annex to NBA Terms and Conditions of Sale for further management advice) Feeding Young bulls are in forward condition at sale and should be allowed to lose condition gradually – they are still maturing. Dietary changes should not be sudden – try and find out the diet prior to purchase so that a stable rumen environment can be maintained.

Forage alone will not be sufficient to maintain a young bull which may be anything up to 1200 kg in weight.

Feed concentrates in at least two feeds for one month after purchase. Prior to purchase a bull will likely have been fed on a high concentrate level fed frequently per day. Ideally do not turn out to grass without supplementary feed for at least 4-6 weeks after purchase.

Housing Bulls will have been in individual pens with a lot of human contact (walking/grooming) plus several feeds per day. Do not ignore him post purchase by keeping him in a confined space or tied in a dark shed. Provide him with human contact and allow him to see his surroundings even though he is in isolation.

Do not keep him on a slippery floor surface and certainly do not allow him to serve cows on this surface. Look after his feet by trying to keep him on a partial hard surface.

Training Young bulls are sexually inexperienced. Try and pen bulls where they can see cows/other bulls working. Take a mature cow to him and allow him to serve her several times.

Working Avoid overwork – young bulls are enthusiastic but have low semen reserves. Target 20 cows in the first season.

Try and get him to take a bit of supplementary feed to maintain body condition score around 3. Remove from cows if it is apparent condition is being lost – it will only lead to barren cows.

Check he is serving correctly (over 20% of bulls could be infertile or sub-fertile) so keep a watchful eye and check herd three weeks later. If in doubt, pull him out. It is essential to PD cows after bull removed from herd.

Annually – for all bulls Being fertile one season is no guarantee. Prior to the next season do bull ‘MOT’ and fertility check in conjunction with vet.

Do not trim feet just before use – plan for 6 weeks before. Feet and legs do a lot of work in mating season.

Feed 2-3kg concentrates per day prior to mating season to build condition ready for an active season.
