WELCOME TO WRIGLEY CATTLE CO,

It has been a long time coming but we couldn’t be more excited to finally welcome you to Wrigley Cattle Co’s first on property Bull Sale. We look forward to welcoming new and returning faces on sale day and would like to thank you all very much for taking the time to consider our genetics.

Whilst we were lucky enough to enjoy a wet 2024, the bulls have had a reasonably hot, dry, fly pressured summer leading up to sale. This year’s cohort of bulls are presented just off pasture and occasional hay supplementation from weaning right through to auction.

This presents them on sale day not too heavy for your heifers but grown enough to serve the largest of cows. They should also be able to hold their condition reasonably well when pastured and socialised with their work mates.

We believe that self promotion, whilst it can definitely build brand recognition, is no recommendation. To us, performance counts. That is why we take the time to extensively assess and measure all bulls and cows in our herd for measurable traits, structure and fertility.

This focus on performance has placed our current calf drop in an elite group with very few herds. Averaging in the top: 20% days to calving, 30% calving ease, 35% for 200 D, 25% 600 D, 15% IMF, 45% claw set and 35% foot angle.

It is those averages that give us the confidence to say we are producing cattle with market versatility. Cattle that can be sold as weaners, feeders, long feeders or be grass fed. At the mercy of the seasons in Condobolin we often rely on the market versatility within our commercial herd and are confident our cattle perform from backgrounders right through to bullocks.

Our current calf drop average of +5.0 for CED, 132 for 600 D and 4.1 for IMF is your guarantee that they will grow and marble and that our breeding program is on the right track.

AI progeny on offer this year

3 Quarterback sons – Lot 2, 8 & 34

1 Beast Mode son – Lot 51

12 sons of Pine View Mogul – Lot 3, 7, 9, 13, 14, 20, 23, 26, 30, 42, 45 & 50

8 Testament sons – Lots 1, 5, 10, 15, 21, 41, 49 & 42

2 Rennylea R1456 sons – Lots 4 & 17

We would like to give a very big thank you to all friends and clients who have supported us over the years and welcome you all to our 3rd Annual Bull Sale.

Kind Regards, The Wrigley Cattle Co. Team

OUR STORY

In the late 80s we began breeding commercial Angus cattle and quickly recognized we needed reasonable numbers of high-quality, high-performance bulls so the seed stock side of our business was born.

With the experience gained in our Angus operation, in 2005 we also began breeding Santa Gertrudis seed stock for S. Kidman & Co. under contract. This gave us invaluable experience inseminating and performance recording large numbers of cows, selling between 300 to 400 bulls annually. We succeeded in lifting key performance indicators for that herd.

At the completion of the Kidman contract and the Wrigley family succession plan, our focus returned to Angus seed stock. Today the stud is run in conjunction with a commercial herd and cropping operation. We are also passionate cutting horse breeders and competitors. We offer friendly, approachable family service designed to build long haul relationships, always finding time to talk cattle.

DATA COLLECTION AND MANAGEMENT OVER THE LIFETIME

Our herd is fully performance recorded with as much data collected over the lifetime as possible. This ensures their EBV’s are of high accuracy and that every animal is fit and functional to breed and perform.

SALE BULLS COMPARED TO BREED AVERAGE

We are focused on breeding well balanced animals that are at the pointy end of the key production values.

It is important to us that our cattle add value right through the production system. The average EBVs of our sale bulls have been graphed against the angus breed average and their performance is well above in most traits. As a cohort this year’s sale bulls will assist with an easy calving that will see their progeny grow well for breeder and feeder, delivering a good product to the end consumer. The indexes that are displayed highlight the bulls’ ability to generate profit in a self-replacing cow calf herd and a self-replacing cow calf herd that places more emphasis on a higher marbled carcase.

BULL HEALTH AND DATA COLLECTION

All bulls have had the following treatment and data collected. This is to insure they are fit to work and their EBV’s are of high accuracy.

· Birth Weight and Date of Birth Recorded

· Tissue sample for parent verification and genomics

· 200-day, 400-day, 600-day weighed

· Mother cows weighed and hip height measured for mature cow data

Docility scored

7 in 1, Pestiguard, Piligard and Vibriosis Vaccinations

· Ultrasound muscle and fat scans (rib & P8, EMA & IMF)

· Scrotal measured

· Independent structural assessment – claw set, foot angle, leg conformation, sheath & temperament

· Soundness and Fertility Tested

TAKING YOUR BULLS HOME

Introducing new bulls to your existing sires, is a prime time for accident and injury. We have found that when getting new bulls home, socialising them with some other cattle such as steers helps them to settle in. If they have to be joined with other bulls it’s a good idea to let them become familiar with each other through a strong fence until all the huffing and puffing settles. This usually takes a couple of weeks. Then introduce them to their new work mates without any females around before joining them to the mob. While it isn’t always possible, having adequate feed and area for each bull will maintain a happier sire group. These are some measures we take to limit the possibilities of injury however we strongly recommend that any bulls purchased are insured.

OUR GUARANTEE

To make sure your bulls perform in the paddock they have been vet checked and morphology tested by Soundness and Fertility tested by Kristen Fredericksen at Repro Hub Pty Ltd of Soundness and Fertility tested by Kristen Fredericksen at Repro Hub Pty Ltd AB services and structurally assessed by Jim Green, Greens Livestock Services. Wrigley Cattle Co. guarantees the fertility and structural soundness of all sale bulls for 12 months. If a bull is structurally unsound, infertile, or deemed incapable to serve for any reason other than disease, injury, mismanagement or neglect, Wrigley Cattle Co will provide you with a credit equal to the purchase price less salvage value of the bull. To claim this guarantee you must provide a written report from a veterinarian approved by Wrigley Cattle Co and be lodged within 12 months from sale day. We recommend any bulls you purchase are insured for accident or injury.

DISCLAIMER

All reasonable care has been taken to ensure that the information provided in this catalogue is correct. However neither the vendors, selling agents or representatives thereof assume any responsibility whatsoever for the correctness, use or interpretation of the information on animals included in this catalogue. 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

ATTENTION BUYER

Animal details included in this catalogue, including but not limited to pedigree, DNA information, Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) and Index values, are based on information provided by the breeder or owner of the animal. Whilst all reasonable care has been taken to ensure that the information provided in this catalogue was correct at the time of publication, Angus Australia will assume no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information, nor for the outcome (including consequential loss) of any action taken based on this information.

All Wrigley Cattle Co bulls have been independently structurally assessed to maximise the quality of stock offered.

The bulls have been structurally assessed by Jim Green of Greens Livestock Services on the 5/1/2024.

HOW TO USE:

The Beef Class Structural Assessment System uses a 1-9 scoring system for feet and leg structure:

· A score of 5 is ideal

· 4 and 6 show slight variation from ideal, but this includes most animals.

· Any animal scoring 4 and 6 would be acceptable in any breeding program

· 3 and 7 shows greater variation, but would be acceptable in most commercial breeding programs, however seedstock producers should be wary 2 and 8 are low scoring animals and have been culled

TEMPERAMENT

Reference: 1-5 (half scores permitted) using yard test scale below:

1. Docile

The animal is easily held in the corner and the handler can get close enough to put their stick on the animal.

2. Restless

The animal can be held in the corner but exhibits some restlessness and flicking of the tail. The handler cannot get close enough to put their stick on the animal before it moves away.

3. Nervous

The animal is not easily held in the corner even when the handler is some distance back from the animal, continual movement and tail flicking.

4. Flighty (wild)

The animal cannot be held in the corner, frantically runs the fence line and may jump when penned individually, exhibits long flight distance.

5. Aggressive

Similar behavior to score 4 but is also aggressive towards the handler, stares at the handler and threatens to charge or charges (Handler is advised to exit the yard before the animal actually charges).

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 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.

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 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 $

$A-L $

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.

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 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 taller mature females.

Higher EBVs indicate more body condition of mature females.

Higher EBVs indicate heavier mature weight.

Higher EBVs indicate heavier live weight.

Lower EBVs indicate shorter time to calving.

Higher EBVs indicate larger scrotal circumference.

Higher EBVs indicate heavier carcase weight.

Higher EBVs indicate larger eye muscle area.

Higher EBVs indicate more fat.

Higher EBVs indicate higher yield.

Higher EBVs indicate more intramuscular fat.

Lower EBVs indicate more feed efficiency.

Higher EBVs indicate better temperament.

Lower EBVs indicate less curl of the claw set.

Lower EBVs indicate more heel depth.

Lower EBVs indicate a less angular leg angle.

Higher selection indexes indicate greater profitability.

$D $

UNDERSTANDING ESTIMATED BREEDING VALUES (EBVS)

Genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial self replacing herd targeting the domestic supermarket trade. Steers are either finished using pasture, pasture supplemented by grain, or grain (e.g. 50 -70 days) with steers assumed to be slaughtered at 510kg live weight (280kg carcase weight with 12mm P8 fat depth) at 16 months of age.

Higher selection indexes indicate greater profitability.

$D-L $

$GN $

The $D-L index is similar to the $D 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 $D aims to maintain mature cow weight, the $D-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.

Genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial self replacing herd targeting pasture grown steers with a 250 day feedlot finishing period for the grain fed high quality, highly marbled markets. Steers are assumed to be slaughtered at 800 kg live weight (455 kg carcase weight with 30 mm P8 fat depth) at 24 months of age, with a significant premium for steers that exhibit superior marbling.

Higher selection indexes indicate greater profitability.

$GN-L $

The $GN-L index is similar to the $GN 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 $GN aims to maintain mature cow weight, the $GN-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.

$GS $

$GS-L $

Genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial self replacing herd targeting pasture finished steers. Steers are assumed to be slaughtered at 650 kg live weight (350 kg carcase weight with 12 mm P8 fat depth) at 22 months of age. Emphasis has been placed on eating quality and tenderness to favour animals that are suited to MSA requirements.

The $GS-L index is similar to the $GS 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 $GS aims to maintain mature cow weight, the $GS-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.

$PRO $

$T $

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. 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.

Genetic difference between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a situation where Angus bulls are being used as a terminal sire over mature breeding females and all progeny, both male and female, are slaughtered. The Angus Terminal Sire Index focusses on increasing growth, carcase yield and eating quality. Daughters are not retained for breeding and therefore no emphasis is given to female fertility or maternal traits.

Higher selection indexes indicate greater profitability.
