Cluden Newry Angus Spring Yearling Bull Sale 2023

SPRING YEARLING BULL SALE

40

PERFORMANCE BULLS

WEDNESDAY 20TH SEPTEMBER 2023, 12PM

“JESSIEFIELD”

Dear friends and fellow cattle breeders,

We invite you to join us at our fifth Spring Yearling bull sale to be held at ‘Jessiefield’, Longford on Wednesday 20th September 2023, starting at 12pm. This year we are pleased to catalogue 40 yearling bulls to offer for sale. The sale will be conducted using the Helmsman auction system, with the option to purchase online through Auctions Plus. Bulls will be yarded from 10am.

All bulls are genomically tested to increase the accuracy of their estimated breeding values (EBVs). Results for lots 36-40 will be available on sale day. We have been genomically testing every calf born since 2019, as well as submitting large amounts of performance data (including structural

and docility scores), which gives great predictability in the performance of our genetics from a young age.

The yearling bull sale offers the first chance to purchase sons of new AI sires Sitz Resilient and Sitz Stellar, Wattletop Q41 and Murdeduke Quarterback (high carcase merit sons of Lawsons Momentous), Millah Murrah Quixote, Coonamble Nic Nat, Tehama Patriarch and Sterling Pacific. There are also bulls by Renylea L519 and Chiltern Park Moe, which have both been breeding well for us.

We are strong believers in the benefits of utilising yearling bulls. Following our commercial trials, in 2021 we joined over

1250 mature cows and heifers with 100% yearling bulls (combined with AI programs in the studs). We are finding very acceptable pregnancy rates (80% four week in calf rate in mature commercial cows) combined with the added ease of management when utilising younger bulls in syndicate mating situations. If you have any questions about the bulls, or any part of our breeding program, please feel free to give us a call.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 20th September.

SALE INFORMATION

The Cluden Newry Spring Yearling Bull Sale is held on our property “Jessiefield”, 678 Pateena Rd, Longford at 12pm via the Helmsman auction system. Bulls will be penned from 10am on sale day for inspection or prior by appointment.

Videos of the bulls will be available on the Auctions Plus website. We welcome visits prior to the Sale and would be happy to show you the bulls and our cow herd at a mutually convenient time.

Veterinary Inspection:

All the bulls have been vet tested for physical soundness, scrotal size and tone, penis (palpitation of the sheath and extrusion of the penis) and semen tested.

Cattle Evaluation

Cluden Newry 2023 Spring Yearling Sale Quick EBV Reference Table

What is the TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation?

The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation is the genetic evaluation program adopted by Angus Australia for Angus and Angus influenced beef cattle. The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation uses Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) technology to produce Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) of recorded cattle for a range of important production traits (e.g. weight, carcase, fertility).

The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation is an international genetic evaluation and includes pedigree, performance and genomic information from the Angus Australia and Angus New Zealand databases, along with selected information from the American and Canadian Angus Associations.

The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation utilises a range of genetic evaluation software, including the internationally recognised BLUPF90 family of programs, and BREEDPLAN® beef genetic evaluation analytical software, as developed by the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit (AGBU), a joint institute of NSW Agriculture and the University of New England, and Meat and Livestock Australia Limited (MLA).

What is an EBV?

An animal’s breeding value can be defined as its genetic merit for each trait. While it is not possible to determine an animal’s true breeding value, it is possible to estimate it. These estimates of an animal’s true breeding value are called EBVs (Estimated Breeding Values).

EBVs are expressed as the difference between an individual animal’s genetics and a historical genetic level (i.e. group of animals) within the TACE genetic evaluation, and are reported in the units in which the measurements are taken.

Using EBVs to Compare the Genetics of Two Animals

TACE EBVs can be used to estimate the expected difference in the genetics of two animals, with the expected difference equating to half the difference in the EBVs of the animals, all other things being equal (e.g. they are joined to the same animal/s).

For example, a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +60 would be expected to produce progeny that are, on average, 10 kg heavier at 200 days of age than a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +40 kg (i.e. 20 kg difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).

Or similarly, a bull with an IMF EBV of +3.0 would be expected to produce progeny with on average, 1% more intramuscular fat in a 400 kg carcase than a bull with a IMF EBV of +1.0 (i.e. 2% difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).

Using EBVs to Benchmark an Animal’s Genetics with the Breed

EBVs can also be used to benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to the genetics of other Angus or Angus infused animals recorded with Angus Australia. To benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to other Angus animals, an animal’s EBV can be compared to the EBV reference tables, which provide:

• the breed average EBV

• the percentile bands table

The current breed average EBV is listed on the bottom of each page in this publication, while the current EBV reference tables are included at the end of these introductory notes. For easy reference, the percentile band in which an animal’s EBV ranks is also published in association with the EBV.

Considering Accuracy

An accuracy value is published with each EBV, and is usually displayed as a percentage value immediately below the EBV.

The accuracy value provides an indication of the reliability of the EBV in estimating the animal’s genetics (or true breeding value), and is an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of the EBV.

EBVs with accuracy values below 50% should be considered as preliminary or of low accuracy, 50-74% as of medium accuracy, 75-90% of medium to high accuracy, and 90% or greater as high accuracy.

Description of TACE EBVs

EBVs are calculated for a range of traits within TACE, covering calving ease, growth, fertility, maternal performance, carcase merit, feed efficiency and structural soundness. A description of each EBV included in this publication is provided on the following page.

$A $

Genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a typical commercial self replacing herd using Angus bulls. This selection index is not specific to a particular market end-point, but identifies animals that will improve overall net profitability in the majority of commercial, self replacing, grass and grain finishing beef production systems.

Genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a typical commercial self replacing herd using Angus bulls. This selection index is not specific to a particular market end-point, but identifies animals that will improve overall net profitability in the majority of commercial, self replacing, grass and grain finishing beef production systems.

Higher selection indexes indicate greater profitability.

$A-L $

The $A-L index is similar to the $A index but is modelled on a production system where feed is surplus to requirements for the majority of the year, or the cost of supplying additional feed when animal feed requirements increase is low. While the $A aims to maintain mature cow weight, the $A-L does not aim to limit the increase in mature cow weight as there is minimal cost incurred if the feed maintenance requirements of the female breeding herd increase as a result of selection decisions.

Higher selection indexes indicate greater profitability.
