INTRODUCTION

Dear friends and breeders,

What a wet 12 months it’s been since our last June sale — July saw huge amounts of rain through the winter that presented a lot of challenges around mud and standing on and off stock to the point the young animals didn’t know if their tummies were coming or going so transitioning was very difficult. This all ended up being extremely minor compared to the devastation caused by cyclone Gabrielle throughout the east coast of the North Island. It was pretty helpless being down here and we can’t imagine what it must be like seeing generations of work get so torn up. For the lot 100 bull it was a no-brainer to choose the Rural Support Trust this year, who are working in that area to help get everyone back up and running. We also understand the challenges with infrastructure so if anyone that was affected needs their bulls held until the October yearling sale bulls are transported, we are more than happy to look after them — please insure them as the holdover bulls will be joined together for that time.

Our first full year with One Tree Hill under the Te Mania Livestock umbrella has been exciting and last year we finished 300 big steers at Te Mania while the young stock wintered around the road. We were very pleased with the results from the steers that were sourced from our Te Mania bloodlines — there was a significant difference in the value of those steers and others we sourced to fill the numbers. The last Te Mania bred steers left in October but we still had others on in January - they got fat but they stopped growing and just weren’t hitting the weights we wanted, and there was a huge difference in marble scores.

This year we will finish around 450 R2 steers at Te Mania and we have brought around 700 steer calves from our clients over the autumn. The lessons learnt from 2022 are going to be applied and we will DNA test these steer calves to match them to sires. We will profile the sires and anything that doesn’t have a sire that meets our criteria for growth and IMF (unlikely to be profitable and hit the premium grades) will be sold as store stock.

The first results from the Vytelle GrowSafe Net feed Intake trials are in and that information is in this catalogue, to help with selection for anyone that wants a more productive herd from less kgs of dry matter (DM). So far we’ve learned that we have probably been thrown a bit of a red herring over the years with the overemphasis on positive fats and we will be doing some research into the baseline of the fat EBVs and the results from B+LNZ’s recent progeny test. First impressions are that fats are appetite and are not as important to fertility or

doability as the industry has made out. Body condition score appears to be more of a relevant EBV for both of these desires and we will be submitting more phenotypes to Angus Australia to help advance that RBV (research EBV).

Prior to EBVs cattle have been selected for fat by eye appraisal for 100s of years and it’s important to remember an EBV of 0.0 doesn’t mean an animal has 0 mms of fat but instead 0 was set as the EBV baseline (which was the breed average when the EBV was adopted). An EBV of 1 for fats is essentially the average of the breed from the adoption of the EBV, plus an extra mm. The fear of animals becoming skinny by having a bit of negative fat is looking more and more absurd…

Through the GrowSafe trials, we have also learnt quickly that the old adage of 3% of their body weight has a huge variation. An example is 21471 who was 300kg in his trial — 3% gives him a requirement of 9kg DM/day but his actual intake was 6.87kg DM/day. In the same pen, 21488 started the trial at the same weight but his average dry matter intake was 8.55kg DM/day.

There is no doubt that the differences in intake aren’t limited to young animals and with the above example (a 20% difference in intake of animals the same weight) breeding a smaller cow herd won’t necessarily reduce the DM requirements or emissions. We are excited to be at the forefront of the feed efficiency work in NZ, collecting actual phenotype measurements and working out how best to apply them commercially to add value to our clients. Objective data always beats subjectivity and no doubt this will be reflected in our progress within this space.

Currently, we have our weaner heifers in the GrowSafe system and once they have gone through every other rigorous test to qualify themselves as a Te Mania replacement, and have raised and weaned a first calf, I cannot wait to select to the top 5% and flush embryos - then the real advances can begin.

As we learn more and work more closely with industry experts we will be presenting the information we learn to help our valued bull buyers make better, more informed breeding decisions so they can stay at the front of the NZ beef pack.

All bulls have been Beef Class Structurally Assessed by Bill Austin. I’m very excited to see everyone on the 21st of June.

Kindest regards,

Will Wilding

THE SISTERS ANGUS

The Sisters Angus herd was established by Lindsay and Mavis Haugh in the year 1990 with the purchase of approx. 30 stud cows from the disbanded Emu Plains stud.

In 1991 Lindsay purchased his first Te Mania bull at the annual June Sale. This was the start of long association with the Wilding family and the Te Mania herd.

Lindsay was also quick to see the benefits of supplying the Five Star Beef feedlot and from their initial start up The Sisters has been supplying quality steers to their grain finishing operation.

Lindsay was also very aware of the huge genetic gains that could be made through the use of artificial insemination, and progressed from having a synchronising programme with outside technician to doing his own inseminations of cows that have cycled naturally. Lindsay was always keen to try new genetics on a trial basis and the carcass data he received from the Fivestar steers was invaluable to progressing the genetic value of The Sisters herd.

The Sisters herd now comprises approx. 170 fully recorded in calf females. Heifers are single sire mated to Te Mania bulls, and mixed age cows are artificially inseminated for one cycle to genetics sourced through Te Mania and the wider Genetic sources. Using teaser bulls with cows that are cycling naturally allows us to get upwards of 70% hit rate through artificial insemination.

The Sisters herd has a strong focus on Maternal values such as milk production, fertility, longevity and temperament while also recognising the value of an exponential growth curve and quality carcass attributes. A moderate cow size is also a very important breeding objective.

It is a huge privilege for the Haugh family from The Sisters to be given the opportunity to offer rising 2 year sires for June 2022 sale. We would like to thank the Wilding family for the opportunity, and hope we can keep up the long family association that has benefitted us thus far.

Happy Bidding,

WELCOMING RIKKI BROWN

Rikki joined the Te Mania team back in February after finishing a long stint at NZ King Salmon and moving from tropical Nelson to the mighty Hurunui district. He is the farm general for One Tree Hill and will also be assisting Thomas with things related to his interests that aren’t livestock related. Rikki is a keen hunter and fisherman and his eye for detail and perfectionism are proving to be very valuable skills, and he is taking to farming like a duck to water. Will enjoys spending time one-on-one with Rikki, looking at a few mobs of calves in his care — full and content on breaks. The pride he has in his set-up and execution as he learns about animals and grazing brings joy. Will has no doubt he will progress from a general role into a more livestock-based role in time. His passion is infectious and it helps remind the rest of the team why we do it and love it.

OUR GENETIC ADVANTAGE

Angus that bear the originate from a programme committed to producing Angus cattle that will advance the New Zealand beef industry.

The objective of the Te Mania programme is to ensure that commercial clients using our genetics are on a continuous improvement programme within their own herd, and that they are kept at the forefront of the New Zealand beef industry, with performance that rivals the best in the world.

Te Mania’s goal is to offer genetics that will give our clients more live calves, that will wean heavier, grow faster and have exceptional carcase quality. Producing sound, efficient and productive females must be a given in a profitable system.

All our cattle are run and evaluated in large contemporary groups. We ensure all cattle get equal opportunity and are measured against each other to give objective comparisons for the economically important traits of calving ease, growth, fertility and carcase merit.

We have adopted a selection of tools and technology to utilise within the farming system and we use a combination of leading-edge performance yearlings and highly accurate, specially selected semen sires from around the globe to optimise the genetic gain of our herd.

HISTORY

Over 90 years of history, experience and innovation. Four generations of the Wilding family have farmed one of New Zealand’s largest, leading Angus studs.

Dating back to when Frank Armstrong of Akitio in Southern Hawkes Bay, gave his daughter and her husband Edwin Wilding, four top Angus cows and a bull (Tiniber Bay of Akitio) on her wedding day, the foundations of the Te Mania herd were laid.

Te Mania pioneered performance recording of beef cattle in New Zealand and has always led the way in the evaluation and adoption of new methods and technologies. Te Mania was the first Angus herd in New Zealand to record on BREEDPLAN, was one of the first to begin carcase evaluation and then adopt the HD50k technology.

TE MANIA’S BULL SELECTION PROCESS

During the first 20 months, Te Mania bulls are subjected to rigours, tests, stresses, and inspections. They have developed their own individual set of EBVs and have had the opportunity to stand out from the mob. Of the 240+ bulls born, 135 have made it into the catalogue for the 2023 sale.

At Birth

• All calves are tagged, weighed and given a calving ease figure.

• Birth weights, calving ease figures, the cows mating details, birth date and the calf’s parentage are sent to Breedplan to calculate EBVs for Gestation Length, Calving Ease and Birth Weight.

• These EBVs give us crucial information for selecting suitable bulls for heifer mating and also for selecting bulls for our Yearling Bull Sale.

At Weaning

• Calves are weaned in February.

• Calves are weighed, drenched and given their first vaccination for BVD, Lepto and 10 in 1 booster is given six weeks later.

• Weaning weights are sent to Breedplan for 200 day weight EBVs

Weaning to 400 Days

• Young bulls are run in groups of around 120, drenched when worm counts indicate the necessity, branded and managed to show their potential under the pressure of a large group situation.

At 400 Days

• Bulls are weighed, scanned for rib and rump fat, eye muscle area and intramuscular fat. A measurement of scrotal circumference is also taken. This data is sent to Breedplan to calculate the Carcase and Scrotal EBVs.

• Young bulls suitable for heifer mating are selected for our Spring Yearling Bull Sale at this stage.

• In October we go through all the yearlings again to find the bulls we will use as yearlings. In this catalogue it is Lot 29-48

At 600 Days

• The bulls are weighed. 600 day weights are sent to Breedplan and updated EBVs are calculated for inclusion in the catalogue.

In April

• Bulls undergo a close examination for feet, structure and temperament.

• Xcell Breeding Services semen tests all bulls and checks for penile and testicle defects.

• Bulls that pass this rigorous process are then selected to be catalogued for the sale and the large groups are split into groups of around 20-30 for the sale mobs.

CARING FOR YOUR NEW TE MANIA BULL

Bulls are a large investment and their management has a major effect on herd fertility. A little time and attention to ensure they are fit, free from injury or infection and are actively working will pay dividends. Manage him well and he will repay you many times over.

Arrival

• On arrival check your bull for injuries or lameness. If he is injured or lame have him inspected by a vet and call Will Wilding immediately.

• When your bull arrives he will be hungry, thirsty and stressed. Put him in a paddock with plenty of feed and a steer or an older cow for company. Feeding some hay will settle him down and start his rumen working again.

• If you have to put him with older bulls ensure he has plenty of space and watch that he doesn’t get bullied excessively.

Through to Mating

• Your young bull is still growing. Ensure he is well fed so he can reach his full potential but do not get him over fat.

• Keep all bulls in condition score 3.0 to 3.5. Too much fat around the testicles can impair fertility and over conditioned bulls lack fitness and mobility.

During Mating

• A two year bull should be capable of mating 40 cows over 60 days. An older bull a few more and a yearling between 25 and 30.

• Ensure cows are cycling before the bull goes out. They will need to be on a rising plane of nutrition to commence cycling and have adequate feed during mating to achieve good conception rates.

• If single sire mating change the bull after the first cycle.

• It is vitally important to regularly observe the bull during mating. Make sure he is working properly and no injuries or infections have occurred. Watch for foot abscesses or penile infections. These can be cleared up quickly if treated immediately.

Problems to Watch for during Mating

• Swelling of the penis or testicles. Infections can be caused by something as simple as a thistle or a scratch.

• Lameness or swollen joints. Watch for stiffness in the hips.

• Continuous mounting without serving.

• Large numbers of cows cycling after the first 21 days. A large percentage should be mated in the first cycle.

• Bulls away on their own – possibly injured or sick.

If you see any of these problems replace the bull immediately. Semen quality can be affected for up to six weeks post injury or infection.

Don’t skimp on regular checks of bulls during mating. It gives peace of mind for in-calf cow rates.

Post Mating

• Bulls are likely to be down in condition. Drench them and put them on enough feed to bring them back up to condition score 3.0 to 3.5.

• Adequate feed, shade, water and space will allow them to settle quickly and help to reduce fighting.

Te Mania Angus

AN EFFICIENT PATH TO PROFITABILITY AngusPRO

It was a bold move for 24-year-old Will Wilding to ditch his job in Canada’s oil fields and move home to the family farm. He was tasked with taking on a different kind of black gold - the four-legged, fast-growing and well-eating kind that roams the rugged hills of Te Mania in Conway Flat, North Canterbury.

It was a bold move for 24-year-old Will Wilding to ditch his job in Canada’s oil fields and move home to the family farm. He was tasked with taking on a different kind of black gold - the four-legged, fast-growing and well-eating kind that roams the rugged hills of Te Mania in Conway Flat, North Canterbury.

Will was the stock manager back in 2014, working under the guidance of the late Lindsay Haugh. The stud was very similar then to what it looks like now, with a lot of technology and commercial farming practices in use, however, Will’s innovative mind wouldn’t rest and he was determined to take things to a new level.

Te Mania is one of the oldest and largest studs in New Zealand, with more than 90 years of history, experience and innovation. The Wilding family and their cattle moved to Conway Flat in North Canterbury back in 1934 and it was Will’s grandfather Frank Wilding who set the herd on a path of high performance and productivity.

As the first herd in the country to weigh cattle on scales, record animals with BREEDPLAN and mate yearling heifers back in the 1970s, breaking new ground is not unfamiliar territory. So when overseas investor Thomas Grothe came on board in November 2021 the team wasted no time getting to work on a new feed efficiency project.

Will says when Thomas first began discussions with the Wilding family, he was particularly interested to talk about improving feed efficiency, for both its economic and environmental benefits.

“I had heard about the reputation of Te Mania’s cattle and I wanted to be part of it. I wanted to enable them to take further steps with my financial backing,” Thomas says.

Will believes that methane is going to be the next big issue for farmers and there is research to show that dry matter intake and methane emissions are highly correlated at 0.83. Producing more beef with less feed will pay dividends to the industry’s bottom line since it’s arguably the single most valuable trait in beef production.

One of the first partnerships that were forged when Thomas came on board was with Vytelle, a global precision livestock company focused on reshaping the industry and fast-forwarding genetic progress. Vytelle Sense is a research feed-pad technology that identifies the most efficient animals with an individual animal feed intake and weight-gain data-capture system. Animals are run through a feed pad in groups of 25-40 for 70 days while the Vytelle technology weighs their feed intake from the bins using EID ear tag technology and collects individual animal weights when they have a drink.

Vytelle claims that genetic selection for feed efficiency will reduce feed intake by up to 12%, reduce methane production by 30%, and improve profitability.

Thomas says, “If we can increase feed efficiency, and consequently decrease methane emissions, then I think we are taking farming in the right direction. These claims need to be proven and I’m willing to invest in trials to prove they are accurate.”

The research unit at Te Mania was finished by September 2022 and the yearling bulls were the first to cycle through it. Animal welfare is a top priority, with pea gravel over a sand dune base and plenty of shade and shelter under established trees.

The bulls are divided into four pens from within each contemporary group and lucerne silage is fed in the feed bins. The raw phenotypic data collected is continuously monitored and collated by Vytelle in Canada and delivered back as an EPD (America’s version of an EBV). Ultimately this information increases the accuracy of the net feed intake (NFI) EBVs available on Te Mania’s animals, and it also has wider industry good, as the NFI EBVs of related animals that are registered with Angus Australia are also improved for accuracy.

After the bulls have completed their time in the unit, the heifer calves will go through. This information is used alongside all other breeding tools to help select the highest-performing females for flushing.

“If we can identify and breed from genetic profiles that are better for the environment, we can reduce our

environmental footprint in a greater way,” Will says. He says that embryo transplant (ET) will allow Te Mania to flush the most feed-efficient females in the herd, and after sourcing semen from the most feed-efficient sires they’ll be able to generate a refined bloodline that has reduced methane emissions, which will have appeal to the end consumer. The commercial farmer will be interested too of course, as the positive effect on profitability is a certainty. Vytelle claims that a 10% improvement in feed efficiency can lead to a 43% improvement in profit.

As the newly named managing director of Te Mania, Will is not just focused on feed efficiency, but also on the unchanged core values of the stud. Maternal qualities are first and foremost – a cow that gets in calf every year, calves easily, rears that calf and then repeats this every year thereafter.

Te Mania totals 2200ha and calves 550 mixed-age cows (including 50 ET recipients), as well as putting 250 yearling heifers through artificial insemination (AI) annually. In fact, every female at Te Mania goes through AI except the two-year-old yearling heifers with calves at foot, who are run with the top end of the home-bred yearling bulls.

Mating yearling heifers is of high importance as a selection pressure,” says Will.

Everything is run in large contemporary mobs to keep commercial pressure on and keep results realistic in the commercial environment. The cows are out on the hills through winter and only brought down for calving to enable the team to collect birth weights.

Net Feed Intake Explained

Cattle of all breeds eat variable amounts each day, some more, some less than their counterparts, while gaining the same weight. This is due to each animal’s net feed intake (NFI) or the difference between an animal’s actual feed intake and predicted feed intake, for a given level of production.

NFI is a moderately heritable trait; therefore it can be used in parallel with other performance selection criteria and will be passed on to progeny with confidence.

Selecting for low, or desirable, NFI won’t affect frame size, growth, or carcass quality in any breeds, making it a risk-free factor in genetic selection.

AN EFFICIENT PATH TO PROFITABILITY

“We try to run the same number of stock units here that a commercial farmer would.”

The only non-commercial feeding practice is when the sale bulls are supplemented with fodder beet after their 600-day weights are collected since the market demands that the bulls are presented well for sale day.

“We want to ensure those 600-day weights are accurate in the commercial environment.”

All the young stock (250-odd heifers and 250-odd bulls) spend their first winter at One Tree Hill, a 900ha block purchased by Thomas in 2022 and leased back to Te Mania Livestock Ltd. The block is a mere 20 minutes away from the main farm and has the capacity for an additional 600 commercial calves and 450 R2 steers. Ultimately Will wants to be buying these back from his clients, but this is proving difficult with the number required.

Steers are purchased in the spring and stay on One Tree Hill through the summer. They’re then brought down to Te Mania in March to be finished on grass, fodder beet and lucerne balage before being processed through Alliance’s Handpicked programme in June/July.

Sarah Horrocks

The steers killed in 2022 had mixed results according to Will.

“We noticed big differences in the trade steers.”

Animals bought in from his clients hit the $1 Handpicked premiums, with marble scores of up to +7. However, the steers that were bought in from elsewhere had mixed results, often hitting the weight grades but still only having marble scores of zero to +1 and therefore not meeting Handpicked’s targets.

“It’s frustrating when a beast is prime and up to weight, yet still not marbling.”

Marbling is a trait that Will is starting to put more and more emphasis on while maintaining the basic principles of the herd. In 2022 he used Lawsons Rocky within the AI programme and is excited to see the impact that his intramuscular fats will have on the Te Mania herd.

AI is done in November with follow-up bulls run until the first or second week of January - two cycles. Calving starts in August, with the heifers starting two weeks earlier than the MA cows, purely for ease of management.

Staff demands at this time of year are high and keep

the team – a block manager and general at One Tree Hill and a stock manager and general at Te Mania -pretty busy. Will oversees the entire farming operation and while Thomas spends only a few months of the year at Te Mania, he certainly isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty, often putting his hand up for some of the less desirable tasks. Of course, as well as the 250 heifers born every year, there is the same number of bull calves. These are all taken through, with 40 bulls sold as yearlings in October and the cream of the crop retained to use as chaser bulls after AI.

“The yearling sale bulls are selected solely for heifer mating,” Will says.

The following June, 140 are catalogued for the twoyear-old sale. Will is looking to increase the total number of bulls bred, but the excess will be sold by private contract sale, rather than increasing the number of bulls auctioned in June.

“The most consistent feedback we get is how balanced our EBVs are.”

While the bulls may not be at the top of the pile for marbling, growth or other individual EBV traits, they have excellent balance within the right traits. So, when their figures are combined, they come out with high selection index figures in the $PRO and $A index, which shows their high all-round balance and performance.

“As a catalogue average, we usually index in the top 10%.”

The Te Mania herd are genuine hill country cows, living in the hills for more time than they do on the flats.

“Our core philosophy hasn’t changed, but new technologies are allowing us to select and make breeding decisions on a whole new playing field.”

Everyone in the industry knows that profitability within a cattle system can be improved by making educated predictions with factual data.

It’s scientifically proven.

UNDERSTANDING THE TRANSTASMAN ANGUS CATTLE EVALUATION (TACE)

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 in 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

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.

FEED EFFICIENCY AT TE MANIA

At Te Mania, we continuously seek opportunities for progress to enhance our clients' herds, both now and in the future. With the help from Thomas, we took a significant step by partnering with Vytelle to effectively capture data on Feed Efficiency. Our aim was to identify which animals could achieve comparable or greater growth with a reduced feed intake. In simpler terms, we’re looking for animals with reduced maintenance needs for self-sustainability. We firmly believe that these more efficient genetics will enable our clients to meet their environmental goals while maintaining a sustainable and profitable cattle farming operation.

As we have progressed through our first year of Vytelle SENSE (GrowSafe), we have tested 200 animals including both bulls and heifers. Our sale bulls have also been tested across two different trials. We are consistently surprised at raw measurements, where we can see with our own eyes, the data from animals eating significantly less than their estimated intake but growing at similar rates to others.

Vytelle has its own reference population of more than 61,000 animals globally that have been feed efficiency tested. Using this combined with our data, they are able to record EBVs independently of the Angus Evaluation. In time, our data will also feed into the Angus Evaluation to make NFI breeding values more accurate – but for now we are using the Vytelle EPDs, which are shown in the following pages. We are also able to benchmark our results against Vytelle’s wider database and we are excited to see that we have animals that are within the top 10% of that evaluation!

NFI is a moderately heritable trait (0.36 - 0.58), and when used as a selection tool, can result in progeny that consume less feed for the same level of production.

• Reduction of overall feed intake by up to 12% while maintaining the same level of production

• Reduction in the maintenance requirements of the herd by 9-10%

• Improvements in the feed conversion rates of calves from 9-15%

• Reduction of manure NPK production by 17% and GHG emissions such as methane by 30%

Because the sale bulls have been tested across different groups and at different times of the year, the Vytelle

EPDs are the most reliable values to compare between bulls. As we collect more generations of data, the figures will become more and more accurate.

The chart below and the following table show the Average Daily Gain (ADG) EPD and Residual Feed Intake (RFI) EPDs comparing the different bulls in their lots. Please note that some sale bulls may not have their data recorded due to missing qualifications at the time of testing.

Bulls in the top right quadrant are most likely to have lower feed requirements for higher average daily gain and hence are our higher efficiency bulls.

ADG EPD: average daily gain expected progeny difference, calculated for each individual animal based on their phenotypic ADG values and pedigree information. HIGHER ADG EPDS ARE MORE FAVOURABLE.

RFI EPD: residual feed intake expected progeny difference, calculated for each individual animal based on their phenotypic RFI values and pedigree information. LOWER RFI EPDS ARE MORE FAVOURABLE.

ANGUSPRO INDEX ($PRO)

“A feature of the $PRO index is a selection advantage of close to 0 for mature cow weight, meaning that selection on this index will maintain mature cow weight, while still increasing growth to 200, 400 & 600 days of age.” -

ANGUS AUSTRALIA

The AngusPRO index ($PRO) estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial self replacing herd based in New Zealand that targets the production of grass finished steers for the AngusPure programme.

Daughters are retained for breeding and therefore female traits are of importance.

Steers are assumed marketed at approximately 530 kg live weight (290 kg carcase weight with 10 mm P8 fat depth) at 20 months of age, with a significant premium for steers that exhibit superior marbling.

SELECTION INDEX SUMMARY

• New Zealand production system.

• Self Replacing herd.

• Daughters are retained for breedeing.

• Steer progeny are finished on pasture for the AngusPure programme.

• Steer progeny slaughtered at carcase weight of 290kg at 20 months of age.

• Significant premium for steers that exhibit superior marbling.

TRAIT CONTRIBUTIONS

Figure 1. shows the traits that are considered in the PRO index, and how much they contribute to the overall balance of the selection index. The larger the segment, the greater the impact on the selection index.

SELECTION ADVANTAGE

Figure 2 shows the selection advantage if animals are selected using the $PRO index.

The selection advantage is calculated by ranking well used sires within the Angus breed on the $PRO index, and comparing the average EBVs of the sires in the highest 10% with the average EBVs of all sires from which they were selected. For example, the sires ranked in the highest 10% based on the $PRO index had 9 kg higher 400 Day Weight EBVs and 1.2 kg lower Birth Weight EBVs than the average EBVs of the sires from which they were selected.

The selection advantage is indicative of the long term direction and relativity of response that will occur in individual traits if selection is based on the $PRO index. The actual response that is observed will vary depending on the features of the individual breeding program.

A feature of the $PRO index is a selection advantage of close to 0 for mature cow weight, meaning that selection on

SALE BULLS COMPARED TO BREED AVERAGE

Here at Te Mania our breeding program is focused on producing very sound, efficient cattle with plenty of balance across multiple traits to enable our clients to optimise value.

This balance in all the key economic traits is evident in our 2022 ‘sales team’. As you will see below the average EBVs of the Te Mania sale bulls are well positioned in relation to the Angus Australia breed average in most traits.

PERCENTILE BANDS FOR ALL 2021 BORN ANIMALS

HERITABILITIES OF TRAITS IN ANGUS GROUP TACE (TRANSTASMAN ANGUS CATTLE EVALUATION).

Only part of the variation that we observe among animals is due to genetic differences. The majority of the variation is generally due to non-genetic factors such as differences in environment and nutrition. The degree to which genetic differences influence performance varies from trait to trait. This is explained by differences in the “heritability” of the traits. Growth and carcase traits tend to have moderate to high heritabilities (i.e. 20 to 60%), whilst maternal traits have low heritabilities (10% or lower). Angus TACE takes into account the different degrees of heritability of various traits, and the known genetic relationships between the traits.

*The percentile bands represent the distribution of EBV’s across the 2021 drop Australian Angus & Angus-influenced seedstock animals analysed in the Mid May 2023 TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation.

The amount of genetic influence in a trait.

PERCENTILE BANDS - IMPORTANT INFO

Angus bulls sold within New Zealand are registered in two different databases — Angus Australia (AngusPRO animals) and Angus New Zealand. The TACE percentiles in sale catalogues are only relevant to the population they are compared against, meaning you can compare one AngusPRO animal against another, but these percentiles can’t be compared across different breed societies i.e. animals registered with Angus NZ.

It is however important to note that the TACE EBVs themselves are comparable. For most EBV traits, the direct EBV is comparable to establish expected progeny performance differences, however, where the animal sits in reference to the rest of that population (its ranking) can be

substantially different across the Angus Australia and Angus New Zealand societies.

Let’s look at the breed average for IMF. Angus Australia’s 50th percentile is +2.2 whereas Angus NZ’s 50th percentile is +0.8 (April 2023 TACE analysis). If you’re selecting bulls based on percentiles, please ensure you are aware of the population they’re compared with, or check the actual EBV figures carefully.

PARENT VERIFICATION SUFFIXES

The animals listed within this catalogue including its pedigree, are displaying a Parent Verification Suffix which indicates the DNA parent verification status that has been conducted on the animal. The Parent Verification Suffixes that will appear at the end of each animal’s name. The suffix displayed at the end of each animal’s name indicates the DNA parentage verification that has been conducted by Angus Australia.

PV : both parents have been verified by DNA.

SV : the sire has been verified by DNA.

DV : the dam has been verified by DNA.

# : DNA verification has not been conducted.

E : DNA verification has identified that the sire and/or dam may possibly be incorrect, but this cannot be confirmed conclusively.

FINDING TE MANIA NZ ON ANGUS TECH

With Te Mania Australia already present on the Angus Australia database, we have had to use the Prefix FTM until we work out a suitable arrangement to avoid confusion between the two herds. We have named all our animals from 2020 on as TMNZ, so if you do a search with “name contains TMNZ” or the prefix FTM you will be able to find our animals.

This QR code will take you to our catalogue in angus.tech, where you can search and draft animals on your set criteria.

HEALTH AND SAFETY WHILST ON FARM

Every effort will be taken by the Vendors, PGG Wrightson, their staff and assistants, both on the sale day as well as any visits of inspection to ensure the safety of intending buyers and visitors. We wish however to advise that while this sale is run under normal management conditions, certain dangers exist in relation to livestock and their environment. Visitors should take care to ensure their personal safety.

WHY BVD / PI TEST?

All bulls offered through the Te Mania have been screened for persistent infection (PI) for the bovine viral diarrhoea virus.

The screening provides Te Mania bull buyers the utmost confidence that their new seedstock are not “carriers” of the BVD virus.

For cattleman, the primary concern of spreading the BVD virus is through PI cattle, with transiently (or temporarily) infected cattle considered a less important source of the disease.

PI animals are very efficient transmitters of the virus. They usually have a very high and virulent amount of the virus circulating in their blood and other fluids and they shed the BVD virus continually.

A PI calf is “created” during pregnancy when the BVD virus from an infected dam’s bloodstream crosses the placental wall to her foetus during the first part of gestation. This is the ONLY WAY a PI animal is created.

Foetal infection can lead to foetal death, the birth of a PI calf, or the birth of a normal calf.

It’s important to note that a calf born BVD-PI will always be a PI animal. Id a calf is not a PI at birth it can never become a PI.

While uncommon, PI calves can grow to adult age without any outward signs of the BVD infection.

The virus is perpetuated when these PI animals – bulls or heifers – survive past yearling age and enter the breeding herd. PI heifers or cows that conceive will always produce a PI calf. A PI bull has the dangerous potential to effectively and efficiently spread the BVD virus to all cattle he comes into contact with.

Immunising cattle herds with the appropriate vaccines to protect against transient infection should be the first consideration in a herd biosecurity program. But, given the right conditions, the tremendous amount of virus secreted by a PI calf can overwhelm a level of immunity provided by vaccination to its herd mates.

The cost of at least one PI animal in a commercial beef breeding herds has been reported to range from $14$24 per cow per year in reduced reproductive efficiency alone. Research also indicates the probability of initial treatment of respiratory disease is 43% greater in cattle exposed to BVD-PI cattle in the same mob or feedlot pen.

Therefore the cost of the BVD virus is too great to leave to chance

That’s why we recommend all cattle entering your herd – including your new bulls must be screened for the BVD virus before they enter your operation.

Here are some other key points:

• All open heifers purchased should be screened for BVD-PI status well in advance of breeding

• Purchased heifers or cows with an unknown BVD-PI status should be kept separate from the resident herd until their PI status can be confirmed by first screening their calves

• Screen all new crop calves in advance of breeding to avoid exposure of a pregnant cow by a PI calf

• Cows do not need to be PI tested unless they have a PI calf

• If an animal tests negative for the BVD-PI status there3 is not need to ever retest that animal

• PI animals should be isolated from the herd and culled immediately

• PI surveillance should include sampling and testing of as many aborted foetus’, stillborns and preweaning deaths as possible

These are some guidelines to help minimise the effect BVD can have on the health of your cow herd and the financial implications that this serious virus can create.

RECESSIVE GENETIC CONDITIONS

Information on undesirable genetic conditions, Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM), Neuropathic Hydrocephalus (NH) and Contractural Arachnodactyly (CA) and Developmental Duplication (DD)

All breeds of cattle have undesirable genetic conditions. Fortunately with today’s DNA technologies those in Angus cattle can be managed.

What are they?

(AM) Arthrogryposis means ‘curved or hooked joints’. Multiplex indicates there are multiple abnormalities associated with the condition. Animals with the Neuropathic (NH) condition have a large head. Both AM and NH affected calves are born dead. Calves affected by Contractural Arachnodactyly (CA) are born alive and can reproduce. Muscle contractures restrict the movement of joints, particularly in the hind legs. Abnormal muscle contractures decrease dramatically as the calf ages but muscle development always remains poor. Developmental Duplication (DD) is also referred to as polymelia. Many affected animals are absorbed in utero or aborted early in gestation. Those that survive to birth typically have additional limbs (usually extra front legs) originating from the neck or shoulder region. The number of reported cases of AM, NH, CA and DD calves is very low and there is certainly no need to panic.

How are the conditions inherited?

Both the sire and the dam need to be a carrier (carry one copy of the gene each) to have progeny that have two copies of the recessive gene. Only a few pedigrees are carriers of the recessive gene.

Two copies of the undesirable gene need to be present before the condition is seen; in which case you may get an abnormal or dead calf. Animals with one copy of the undesirable gene (and one copy of the normal gene) appear normal and are known as “carriers”. Carriers, will on average, pass the undesirable gene onto a random half (50%) of their progeny. When a carrier bull is mated to a carrier cow there will be a 25% chance that the progeny produced will have two normal genes. There will be a 50% chance that the mating will produce a carrier and there will be a 25% chance that the progeny have two copies of the undesirable gene and the calf will be abnormal. For the condition to be expressed the undesirable gene needs to be present on both sides of the pedigree and both the sire and the dam need to be a carrier.

A DNA-based test has been developed which determines whether an animal is a carrier or free of the AM, NH or CA gene. After DNA testing animals are classified in these categories:

AMF, NHF, CAF or DDF – Tested free of the undesirable gene

AMC, NHC, CAC or DDC – Tested as carriers of the undesirable gene

NZ Angus uses sophisticated software to calculate the probability of all untested animals on their database to be a carrier and this is reported as a percentage susceptible. The categories are:

AMS%, NHS%, CAS% or DDS% - Suspected carrier. % = level of suspicion

Animals free of the defect by pedigree and are untested are given the following categories:

AMFU, NHFU, CAFU or DDFU – Free by pedigree, untested

What genetic statuses are acceptable to you will depend on the genetics of your cow herd

You need to take into consideration the bulls you have used previously, whether you have a straight breeding or cross-breeding enterprise and whether you will retain female progeny for breeding.

Te Mania are being proactive and transparent in managing these genetic conditions, endeavouring to provide the best information available. Now all sires used are clear of these defects. The greatest risk to the commercial sector from these undesirable genetic conditions comes from unregistered bulls with unknown genetic background.

CONDITIONS OF SALE

1 All lots will be sold subject to the conditions governing auction sales held under the auspices of the North Canterbury Stock and Station Agents Association. Such conditions of sale will be posted up in the yards.

2 A rebate purchasing commission will be paid to all registered agents (rate to be negotiated).

3 Payment for all bulls will be made within 14 days of the sale.

4 Any bull sold requiring a transfer for use in a registered herd, be it semen or standing the bull physically, will be at a minimum price of $15,000. The purchaser or agent must state at the fall of the hammer if a transfer is required. For any animals transferred to Angus New Zealand members, all transfer costs and any required tests for registration with Angus NZ are the responsibility of the purchaser.

5 Physical ownership & semen interests: Aligned with our commitment to deliver the highest quality genetics, we need to protect our ability and access to all genetics sold into the market place. Te Mania Angus retains 50 % of the semen rights and interests, and the right to collect semen from all bulls sold. Any semen collected is strictly for use within the nominated owners herd, Te Mania’s own use, and/or for progeny testing within commercial herds. If the right to collect semen is exercised, Te Mania Angus would consult with the new owner of the bull to arrange a convenient time for collection, with costs to Te Mania Angus.

In the case of syndication of a bull or semen for use within registered herds, which may be arranged at, or after the sale, the joint owners of the bull must be nominated and an additional $5000 on top of the drop of the hammer price will be charged for each additional syndicate member. Semen used within registered herds may only be used within the nominated owners’ herds unless with written agreement between Te Mania Angus and the new owners. Any proceeds from either commercial or registered semen sales will be split equally between the owner of the bull and Te Mania. Semen may not be on-sold to outside parties. If the bull is on-sold at a later date, these conditions carry forward. Te Mania Angus retain no interest in the physical ownership nor the salvage value of the bull.

6 Any bull sold with a transfer will be guaranteed for 12 calendar months, from date of sale, for any structural faults.

ANGUSPURE PARTNER STUD

AngusPure NZ has teamed up with 88 Angus studs who share in our visionto focus on the end consumer. This stud is proud to be named as one of them, and by using the finest genetics and implementing best management practice they can help you produce more premium quality Angus beef.

ANGUSPURE ENDORSED BULLS

AngusPure NZ continues to endorse bulls for sale that are either at or above +$125 for the AngusPure index (API) and at or above $115 for the AngusPRO index (PRO). These indexes give commercial farmers confidence that by using these selection tools, bulls are most likely to leave progeny with superior carcase quality. At the same time they achieve desirable outcomes for self replacing herds, as the AngusPure & AngusPRO indexes still reward cattle with strong maternal attributes like calving ease, scrotal and growth, along with carcase weight.

To qualify, bulls will be => +$125 for AngusPure index OR => +$115 for AngusPRO index

EXTRA ANGUSPURE ENDORSEMENT FOR MARBLING

In addition to the ‘A’, and to assist bull buyers who wish to select for more marbling AngusPure are rewarding those animals that are either at or above +$145 for the AngusPure index and at or above $135 for the AngusPRO index. In addition to this they must have an IMF EBV (for marbling) equal to or greater than +2.2. These bulls will be awarded an ‘A+’ endorsement. Marbling is one of the very highest eating quality attributes and is necessary in order to meet some of the highest premium requirements for the export program, AngusPure Special Reserve.

To qualify, bulls will be => +$145 for AngusPure index OR => +$135 for AngusPRO index, and in addition all bulls must be => +2.2 for IMF EBV

AngusPure NZ recognises the need to lift the amount of marbling in our New Zealand cow genetics, in order to fill the requirements of consumers going forward. Marbling has two critical components; genetics and feeding. Feeding on a rising plane of nutrition is vital but without the genetics these attributes will not be able to express themselves.
