Welcome to our Inaugural U8J on farm Bull Sale to be held at “Mt Pleasant”. We are proud to offer an exciting range of quality bulls, suitable heifer bull options with low birth weights, carcass growth or powerful carcass focused bulls ideal for purebred angus or commercial cross breeding herds focusing on maximising weight for age, hybrid vigour, MSA compliance and meat-eating quality. Our commitment, vision and passion drive an obsession to produce Angus cattle that are profitable, fertile, with sound structure and a docile temperament. We are selecting genetics to deliver a live calf with growth that will continue to perform as replacement breeders or as a commercial weaner, backgrounder, feeder cattle, domestic MSA graded or export carcasses that are feed efficient, adaptable to seasonal conditions, able to finish on grass or in feedlot conditions, meeting market specifications.

We value our quality systems and know if it’s not recorded it does not exist and if you don’t measure it, you can’t improve it!

Square Mile Angus combines 3 generations, the Roberts, Tyler and Salter families breeding quality Angus cattle targeting the needs and requirements of the beef industry. Our breeding program is run alongside the U8J Cattle Co Angus stud utilising quality AI sires to produce bulls and females to perform in Queensland conditions. Our breeding focus is on docility, quality beef, red meat yield, sound structure and over all doing ability. We are passionate and committed to sustainable and future focused Agriculture. Our cattle are grazing multi species pastures with protein supplements as required. In the lead up to the sale they will be grazing Oats. The U8J and Square Mile Angus Bulls have been managed together since weaning.

We are a proud family owned and operated farming business.

Looking forward to seeing you at Mt Pleasant!

UNDERSTANDING The transtasman angus cattle Evaluation (tace)

What is the TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation?

The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation (TACE) is the genetic evaluation program adopted by Angus Australia for Angus and Angus infused beef cattle. TACE 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).

TACE includes pedigree, performance and genomic information from the Angus Australia and New Zealand Angus Association databases to evaluate the genetics of animals across Australia and New Zealand.

TACE analyses are conducted by the Agricultural Business Research Institute (ABRI), using beef genetic evaluation software 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.

UNDERSTANDING estimated breeding values (ebvs)

CEDir % Genetic differences in the ability of a sire’s calves to be born unassisted from 2 year old heifers.

CEDtrs % Genetic differences in the ability of a sire’s daughters to calve unassisted at 2 years of age.

GL days Genetic differences between animals in the length of time from the date of conception to the birth of the calf.

BW kg Genetic differences between animals in calf weight at birth.

200 Day kg Genetic differences between animals in live weight at 200 days of age due to genetics for growth.

SS cm Genetic differences between animals in scrotal circumference at 400 days of age.

CWT kg Genetic differences between animals in hot standard carcase weight at 750 days of age.

EMA cm2 Genetic differences between animals in eye muscle area at the 12/13th rib site in a 400 kg carcase.

Higher EBVs indicate fewer calving difficulties in 2 year old heifers.

Higher EBVs indicate fewer calving difficulties in 2 year old heifers.

Lower EBVs indicate shorter gestation length.

Lower EBVs indicate lighter birth weight.

Higher EBVs indicate heavier live weight.

Higher EBVs indicate larger scrotal circumference.

Higher EBVs indicate heavier carcase weight.

Higher EBVs indicate larger eye muscle area.

Rib Fat mm Genetic differences between animals in fat depth at the 12/13th rib site in a 400 kg carcase. Higher EBVs indicate more fat.

P8 Fat mm Genetic differences between animals in fat depth at the P8 rump site in a 400 kg carcase. Higher EBVs indicate more fat.

RBY % Genetic differences between animals in boned out saleable meat from a 400 kg carcase. Higher EBVs indicate higher yield.

IMF % Genetic differences between animals in intramuscular fat (marbling) at the 12/13th rib site in a 400 kg carcase.

NFI-F kg/ day Genetic differences between animals in feed intake at a standard weight and rate of weight gain when animals are in a feedlot finishing phase.

Claw Set score Genetic differences in claw set structure (shape and evenness of claw).

Foot Angle score Genetic differences in foot angle (strength of pastern, depth of heel).

Leg Angle score Genetic differences in rear leg structure when viewed from the side (angle at front of the hock).

$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 EBVs indicate more intramuscular fat.

Lower EBVs indicate more feed efficiency.

Higher EBVs indicate better temperament.

Lower EBVs indicate a lower score.

Lower EBVs indicate a lower score.

Lower EBVs indicate a lower score.

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.

recessive genetic conditions

This is information for bull buyers about the recessive genetic conditions, Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM), Hydrocephalus (NH), Contractural Arachnodactyly (CA) and Developmental Duplications (DD).

Putting undesirable Genetic Recessive Conditions in perspective

All animals, including humans, carry single copies (alleles) of undesirable or “broken” genes. In single copy form, these undesirable alleles usually cause no harm to the individual.

But when animals carry 2 copies of certain undesirable or “broken” alleles it often results in bad consequences. Advances in genomics have facilitated the development of accurate diagnostic tests to enable the identification and management of numerous undesirable or “broken” genes.

Angus Australia is proactive in providing its members and their clients with relevant tools and information to assist them in the management of known undesirable genes and our members are leading the industry in their use of this technology.

What are AM, NH, CA and DD?

AM, NH, CA and DD are all recessive conditions caused by “broken” alleles within the DNA of individual animals. When a calf inherits 2 copies of the AM or NH alleles their development is so adversely affected that they will be still-born.

In other cases, such as CA and DD, calves carrying 2 copies of the broken allele may reach full-term. In such cases the animal may either appear relatively normal, or show physical symptoms that affect their health and/or performance.

How are the conditions inherited?

Research in the U.S. and Australia indicates that AM, NH, CA and DD are simply inherited recessive conditions. This means that a single gene (or pair of alleles) controls the condition.

For this mode of inheritance two copies of the undesirable allele need to be present before the condition is seen; in which case you may get an abnormal calf. A more common example of a trait with a simple recessive pattern of inheritance is black and red coat colour.

Animals with only one copy of the undesirable allele (and one copy of the normal form of the allele) appear normal and are known as “carriers”.

What happens when carriers are mated to other animals?

Carriers, will on average, pass the undesirable allele to a random half (50 %) of their progeny.

When a carrier bull and carrier cow is mated, there is a 25% chance that the resultant calf will inherit two normal alleles, a 50% chance that the mating will result in a carrier (i.e. with just 1 copy of the undesirable allele, and a 25% chance that the calf will inherit two copies of the undesirable gene.

If animals tested free of the undesirable gene are mated to carrier animals the condition will not be expressed at all. All calves will appear normal, but approximately half (50%) could be expected to be carriers.

How is the genetic status of animals reported?

DNA-based diagnostic tests have been developed which can be used to determine whether an individual animal is either a carrier or free of the alleles resulting in AM, NH, CA or DD.

Angus Australia uses advanced software to calculate the probability of (untested) animals to being carriers of AM, NH, CA or DD. The software uses the test results of any relatives in the calculations and the probabilities may change as new results for additional animals become available.

The genetic status of animals is being reported using five categories:

AMF Tested AM free

AMFU

Based on Pedigree AM free - Animal has not been tested

AM_% _% probability the animal is an AM carrier

AMC Tested AM-Carrier

AMA AM-Affected

For NH, CA and DD, simply replace AM in the above table with NH, CA or DD.

Registration certificates and the Angus Australia web-database display these codes. This information is displayed on the animal details page and can be accessed by conducting an “Database Search” from the Angus Australia website or looking up individual animals listed in a sale catalogue.

Implications for Commercial Producers

Your decision on the importance of the genetic condition status of replacement bulls should depend on the genetics of your cow herd (which bulls you previously used) and whether some female progeny will be retained or sold as breeders.

Most Angus breeders are proactive and transparent in managing known genetic conditions, endeavouring to provide the best information available. The greatest risk to the commercial sector from undesirable genetic recessive conditions comes from unregistered bulls with unknown genetic background. The genetic condition testing that Angus Australia seedstock producers are investing in provides buyers of registered Angus bulls with unmatched quality assurance.
