President’s Perspective

July 2022 Charolais Magazine

How pleasing is it to see that the Royal and local Shows are back in business in 2022 and we are able to watch cattle being judged in the open air around the ring. We can enjoy the Show atmosphere on a more normal basis, something we have missed through the Covid years. For many Cattlemen if it is not being able to go to a show that you have missed, it may be you are enjoying the return to cattle or bull sales again! Last month the Sydney Royal Easter Show celebrated its 200th anniversary. An enormous effort was planned by the organisers to enable Her Royal Highness Princess Anne to officially open the Show. Her involvement in activities and formalities celebrating the day with exhibitors from all different backgrounds ensured a most memorable day was enjoyed by all. Congratulations to all our Charolais members who made the effort to compete at the 200th Sydney Royal Easter Show. There is no doubt participating and entering in class events is a memorable occasion in its own right. However, winning an award with your cattle with the standard of competition at the Show, took an outstanding effort and dedication that recognises all your hard work you have endured to achieve your success. On Charolais judging day the classes were strongly contested throughout the morning’s events. Our congratulations are extended to the O’Brien family with the award of Grand Champion and Senior Champion Female with Winchester Daisy Duke N16E. Our congratulations are also extended to the Thompson family with the award of Senior and Grand Champion Bull, Venturon Raise the Bar R1E, who traveled across the country from Western Australia to compete in the Show. The Charolais breed enjoyed further exposure in the interbreed competition when we were represented by the O’Brien family entry, Winchester Daisy Duke N16E who was awarded Supreme Female Exhibit. Once again our congratulations are extended to the O’Brien family on their tremendous success It was pleasing to have the opportunity to mingle and discuss with fellow members, Charolais family members, interstate and overseas visitors after the judging was completed on Charolais judging day. We recognise and acknowledge all the members who made the effort to exhibit cattle and who assisted the organisation on judging day. A shout out also to the exhibitors in recognition of their efforts in maintaining the cattle stalls.

www.charolais.com.au Hopefully there will be less uncertainty for members planning for events into the future arising from the success at the Sydney Royal Easter Show in 2022. The Society continues to make available services that improve your profitability over time and assist you more easily to access information. Currently the Society is promoting a “TIP THE TANK LISTING” where a Charolais Semen Listing will be available on the website that will assist members potentially accessing genetics that will suit their breeding programmes at an affordable cost. Earlier this year in March, the Board met in Brisbane, where a two day meeting was held. It had been the first time the current board had met in person, however, there were three members who participated in the meeting by video link. The primary purpose of this meeting was a strategic planning session to create a framework for the next five years. There were many issues raised and positive discussions held and we are looking forward to progressing a number of important matters at Board level later in 2022 when further information will be communicated to our Society membership.

In the meantime the Board is focusing to align and concentrate the opportunities for the Charolais breed that will add benefits for the broader interests of our members. As the Board members terms are basically fixed tenures it is important that the principles that have advanced the Charolais breed to where it is today continue to be maintained. One decision that was finalised was the structure that would support the Youth Committee. It was resolved that Sapphire Halliday a current Federal Board Representative will liaise as the Charolais Youth Liaison Officer . A detailed flow chart is being finalised after agreement was reached on the structure. Expressions of interest for members seeking election to the youth committee have been circulated. As President I have enjoyed working with the office team over the last year. Hayley, Deearn, Lucy and Colin all possess the will do attitude and they have a very high customer focus looking outwards for the benefits of our members and this certainly makes my role easier. In closing I would like to wish members with auction sales fast approaching all the best and that the results surpass their expectations.

“

If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.

Life is slowly returning to a new version of normal and we have two options, dwell on the past or fire up and push forward. Issues with supply chains and global unrest are possibly here to stay for a while and this will cause some cost pressures for all of us. Having a clear focus on the direction for your breeding program is essential. Having a clear knowledge of the market specifications that will return the best financial outcome can add significantly to your beef enterprise profitability. Using Charolais to maintain flexibility in marketing options is a great start. Correct selection for traits required in your program will provide the framework for enterprise success. Evaluate the end game and only seek genetics that you need, if your program is terminal there is no logic in selecting for milk. Having the right tools such as pasture and genetics to breed with is one part of the equation. Secondly, design your program to utilise the science. Australia is fortunate to have leading research conducted here, but so much of international research works in our production systems. In a commercial breeding program two core principles, harnessing heterosis and breed complementarity can add extra dollars. An article in The Western Producer in the USA quoting Charolais breeder Buddy Westphal summed it up beautifully. He said “he is amazed that more ranchers haven’t taken advantage of hybrid vigour. “When I was in college 50 years ago, that was the ‘new’ thing that got me into the Charolais business. My genetics teacher, Dr. Sutherland, talked about hybrid vigour and said the Charolais imported from France in the mid-1960s would be the breed that would most complement British breeds. Dr. Sutherland was born in Scotland and educated in France, and knew a lot about European breeds,” says Westphal. “Hybrid vigour provides an increase in growth and carcass yield over what the parents can produce. The more unrelated the parents, the more kick you get from hybrid vigour. The European cattle brought to North America during the 1960s were totally unrelated to the British breeds already here.” Westphal is convinced the Charolais has the most potential for crossing because many other European breeds have changed. Limousin, Simmental, Chianina, Gelbvieh and others are now black. Breeders have infused Angus into these breeds to affect colour, so those animals are not as distant from British breeds as they once were, he says. “They won’t give you as much kick with hybrid vigour if you use the black versions for crossing with British breeds.” Composite cattle can provide desirable traits from two or more breeds but there isn’t as much hybrid vigour when animals within that composite group are bred. A complete outcross delivers maximum hybrid vigour. (Source: The Western Producer, May 12, 2022).

GM’s View ...cont from page 14 This works all over the world. At the Grafton sale on May 20th, Heifer Station sold Charolais cross steers from Brahman/Hereford first cross cows, 237.8kg for 758.2c/kg or $1,803.09. Their light Angus steers, from similarly bred mothers, sold to 798.2c/kg for 176.7kg or $1,396.02, going onto winter crop at Narrabri. (Source: The Land). Define premium however, you want, but the statistics above are clear to me. Registered breeders can use the science such as genomics and performance evaluation as useful tools in shaping the next generation. There is no doubt that there are physical characteristics that are associated with production traits such as double eyelashes with homozygous poll cattle. However, traits like IMF% are far harder to determine from a physical evaluation. This is where evaluation systems like BREEDPLAN can be used to advantage. Likewise when using EBV’s or other data, evaluation of structure and temperament is essential to move forward with the best genetics. I strongly believe as Charolais breeders we should focus on the important traits that saw our breed imported into the Australian beef industry. Having said that, we can and have improved traits that are important for our conditions. A strong focus on poll genetics for example is useful in the northern environment where limited mustering is practised. Improving carcase quality by improving IMF% may be useful without sacrificing our important traits. As the world population increases, achieving efficiency in beef production is crucial. This efficiency should be throughout the total production system from conception to consumer. Gretchen Mafi, professor of meat science and Boulware Endowed Chair of Animal Science for Oklahoma State University, at the American-International Charolais Association October 2017 Listening and Learning Industry Session said “Charolais’ greatest strength is red meat yield and cutability.

The ability that [the breed] has to produce calves that grow well and have a high propensity for muscling, produces meat that we can utilize,” said Mafi. Professor Mafi commented on the costs of processing a 260kg carcass through a plant is the same as for 450kg carcass, offering efficiencies on the larger beast. Interestingly, Meat & Livestock Australia [MLA] reported on the 2nd June that Australian cattle carcase weights had increased with Queensland having the highest average weight. Queensland had the highest average carcase weights of 336.2kg, increasing 3% on last quarter. This is also 12kg higher than the national average of 324.4kg. The lowest weights were found in WA at 293.4kg – although this weight is still historically high for the state. This shows an increase in the feedlot sector as a proportion of total turn-off, with more cattle on feed than ever before. Feedlot animals are more likely to put more weight on during finishing. The report concluded as more grassfed animals hit the market throughout the year, a decline in carcase weights may be seen moving forward. MLA also reported the female slaughter rate (FSR) of 41% (41% of cattle killed are female) is the lowest since the end of 2011. In 2011, with an FSR that averaged 43%, the national herd grew by 7.4% or 1.95 million head. Historical evidence of herd changes on the back of low female slaughter rates demonstrates the capacity for the national herd to rebuild quickly. MLA’s current projections forecast a herd increase of 4.7% or 1.1 million head in 2022. Since Q1 2021, the FSR has averaged 44% – a similar rate to that seen during 2011. Those females retained and joined in 2021 can be expected to deliver a large supply of cattle to market in 2023 as the calf drops of autumn and spring 2021 enter the market at slaughter weights.

GM’s View ...cont from page 16 This female increase is also being seen in our Charolais registered female inventory. As expected, numbers declined slightly during the drought in the eastern states but we are now seeing an upturn. Members that maintained their herd are being rewarded with increased demand for registered Charolais bulls. Another pleasing trend is enquiry for new herds to commence performance recording. If you are not BREEDPLAN recording your herd currently and wish to, contact the office and we can explain the process. Australian Charolais breeders have done a tremendous job in maintaining the traits the breed is renowned for whilst adapting the breed to thrive in our more pastoral environment. The success of the Charolais breed across the broad expanses of this countries beef industry is testament to the success of this process. Australian commercial breeders have recognised the contribution the breed can make to the profitability of their beef enterprise. The Toogoolawah Weaner sale highlights this spectacularly. Although numbers where back this year due to wet conditions the Charolais dominance was obvious. Pen after pen of Charolais sired calves lead the sale every year. The Queensland Country Life report clearly highlighted the premium prices paid for these Charolais sired calves. Demand for Charolais weaners is not limited to the Brisbane Valley. Roma sale reports for the first week of June saw Charolais sired calves reaching 838c/kg. These weaners returned $2,371 for Nixon Pastoral Co, Kenmore, Charleville. Top Angus price quoted was 812c/kg for significantly lighter steers; once again, I ask the question, what is the definition of premium? Strong pricing indicators for Charolais sired calves has been seen across the nation with market reports regularly featuring the breed. This is real time market feedback that Charolais are recognised for their ability to add value to their progeny.

Recently we called for nominations for the Charolais Society International Youth Scholarship and the standard of applicants was exceptional. Congratulations to Amanda Cavenagh from Western Australia on her success, which is reported in detail in the edition. Amanda will have the opportunity to network with her international peers at CharFocus hosted by American International Charolais. A strength of the Charolais breed is the cohesion across nations using Charolais genetics. The willingness to share data and contribute to the breed being recognised globally is contributing to the expansion of the breed. A small delegation of breeders and staff will have a similar opportunity at the Charolais Charbray World Congress hosted by the United Kingdom in July. Reports from Amanda and the United Kingdom World Congress will feature in the next edition of this magazine. With the Autumn Sales wrapped up, we have seen the demand for Charolais sires continue. With the majority of the Autumn sales in the south and west this is a pleasing trend. To the 4th June we have seen 457 bulls sold at 18 sales with a top of $44,000 for Palgrove Ravine (P) purchased by Kenmere Charolais and an average of $9,598. This compares to the breed average at the same time in 2021 of $8,247. It will be interesting to see the spring sales follow this trend. A complete sale summary will be in the January 2023 edition of the magazine. To the members that support this publication with advertising, a sincere thank you. Your support allows us to publish the magazine. We have evidence of members making purchasing decisions from adverts indicating the value of promotion.

Toogoolawah Weaner Sale 2022 Toogoolawah Weaner sale Champion Pen of Charolais Infused Steers & Champion Pen of Steers All Breeds presented by Luck Farming, Mount Mort. This pen sold for $2,260 per head.

Well grown Charolais sired weaners expressing tremendous muscle.

To say Charolais dominate the offering at this sale would be an understatement, pen after pen of Charolais cross calves is a tremendous sight.

July 2022 Charolais Magazine

After a fortnight delay due to extreme rainfall across parts of Queensland, the Shepherdson and Boyd’s annual Toogoolawah weaner sale was held on Friday 27th May. As a guide, Toogoolawahs’ annual rainfall to May is 825mm. In 2022 the district has received 1,767mm of rainfall. Due to the delay the numbers were down considerably on recent years but the quality held strong. The sale of 1,881 steers and 1,301 heifers was dominated by top quality Charolais infused types in the six to nine month age bracket, and included 2,630 cleared to travel to clean country. Considering the rainfall that these calves had endured during the weaning process the penned calves presented exceptionally well. The Toogoolawah Weaner Sale is amazing with Charolais sired calves taking the first run of calves offered. Pen after pen of Charolais sired steers fill the rows. Most of these calves are from Bos Indicus dams and the uniformity of the calves is outstanding. These calves are renowned performers and repeat buyers bid hard to secure them. The buying strength this year came from the Western Downs, northern NSW and Victoria. The first ten pens of Charolais sired calves averaged over $2,100. The general run of steers made $1,900 to $2,100, while heifers sold for $1,600 to $1,700. Sale toppers were a pen of very well grown Charolais-cross offered by Jenny Richards, Woolmar, which sold for $2,400. Luck Farming, Mount Mort presented the champion pen of Charolais infused steers sired by ANC sires. This pen was also the Grand champion pen of steers on the day. At auction this pen of Charolais cross calves made $2,260. As a reference this vendor topped the sale in 2021 with weaner steers at $1,800. Second in the Charolais steer awards was Moteham Pty Ltd and third, Dallas Allery. In the class sponsored by the Queensland Charolais Region for Best Pen of Charolais sired Steers there was a draw with R & C Bickham and Moteham Pty Ltd taking the honours. In the Heifer Section sponsored by the Queensland Region this class was won by Galloway Cattle. Best Pen of Charolais Heifers was presented by Moteham Pty Ltd with the placing taken by Jilrift Pty Ltd and Luck Farming. Lyndhurst, Anduramba, sold the champion pen of Charolais infused heifers for $2,210.

Setting the Bar

NSW Beef Spectacular Feedlot Trial When the results were announced for the annual New South Wales (NSW) Beef Spectacular Feedlot Trial, Charolais entries set the bar high. For the first time in the NSW Beef Spectacular Feedback Trial’s 13-year history, an exhibitor has won both overall grand champion team as well as the runners up. James Millner of Rosedale Charolais stud at Blayney took out the prestigious awards presented at a dinner in February at the conclusion of the trial. The trial attracted 39 individual exhibitors with 375 head, across 20 breeds and crosses. The cattle were on feed for 112-days at the Teys Jindalee Feedlot, which won the Australian Feedlot of the Year 2021 award for the above 15,000 head category. The steers in the trial had an average daily gain (ADG) of 1.7 kilograms per head per day. The winning Rosedale team of five Charolais/Angus cross steers scored a total of 730 points from a possible 1000 to take out the top spot on the podium, and receive a $6500 speed drafter from National Stockyard Systems Pty Ltd. Consistency is what placed the champion team on top, with the group placing first for induction (100pts from 100), third overall for feedlot performance (250pts from 350) and sixteenth overall for carcase (380pts from 550). Only 1.5 points behind was Mr Millner’s second team of Charolais/ Angus cross steers which scored 728.5pts. Rosedale Charolais had previously won the trial in 2013. Continuing the great results for Charolais, fifth and sixth place were presented to James Millner’s parents, Michael and Jenny Millner of MJ and JL Millner (also of Rosedale Charolais stud), Millthorpe, with their teams of Charolais/ Angus cross which scored 711 points and 708.5 points, respectively. The Millner’s consistent high placings this year was similar to 2014 when they had three teams in the top 10. 22

Profitability is also where their cattle excelled, with James’ teams placing first and seventh and Michael’s teams also finishing within the top 20 teams. The first and second placed pens were all out of commercial Angus cows and by Rosedale Charolais bulls used in the Millner’s commercial herd. James commented “I only had 15 steers to choose the teams from, I went 430 kilograms and above drafting them on weight and then type. They were only 12 to 13-monthold calves going in,” James said. James continued “we are actively selecting for marbling in the Rosedale herd by scanning, and we carcase scan all our bulls and heifers in the stud, and over time there is definitely a trend of improvement and getting better.” Michael said “my observation of James’ cattle is they didn’t win any of the early awards, but they did everything pretty well, they were consistent even in their weight gains (average 2.04kg/head/day, above the total trial average of 1.69kg/head/day).” Similar to the two top teams, Michael’s fifth and sixth placed teams were predominantly Charolais/Angus with some out of black baldy females. “Ours were a few earlier June-drop, heavier calves,” Michael said. “We lost 15 points at the start from them being too heavy.

Michael said “One of the beauties and frustrations of the competition is that there are so many unknowns. You try and rank steers when they leave here about how they will do and how they will hang up. But there are a lot of unknowns, and it is a bit of luck.” Rosedale Charolais regularly compete in industry benchmarking trials such as the Beef Spectacular and have had success including the Beef Spectacular trial, the Australian National Field Days (ANFD) steer competition, the RAS Sydney Royal Beef Challenge, and the RNA Paddock to Palate. Highlights include winning champion domestic pen in the 2019 RNA Paddock to Palate, followed by reserve champion export team (HGP-free) the following year. They have won the ANFD trial three times, and both Rosedale and its clients’ cattle have excelled in the RAS Sydney Royal Beef Challenge winning either grand champion domestic or export team over the years. Across the 2022 NSW Beef Spectacular Feedback Trial results indicate that marble scores are increasing and more cattle are meeting the target Riverine Premium Beef brand. However there is a growing variation in profitability of teams, and meeting the optimum carcase weights continue to be a challenge. For the second consecutive year, the trial was again hormone growth promotant (HGP) free and there was no P8 fat measurement taken at induction due to COVID-19. Steers had an average weight gain of 1.69 kilograms per head per day, which is on par with last year. “Some animals in the trial gained less than 0.8kg/hd/day and others, without a HGP, were still gaining at better than 2.4kg/hd/day,” Mr House said.”Most are sitting around the 1.4 to 1.8kg/hd/day range.”

More cattle fell into the broad carcase specifications of 330420 kilograms hot standard carcase weight (HSCW) with 1032 millimetres P8 fat. “We had 59% of the cattle fall into the broad box, receiving points for carcase weight and P8 fat,” he said. “6% of the cattle fell into the optimum specifications of a 370-400kg carcase. “Quite a large number of the cattle are under (carcase) weight but it is a challenge to try and hit that carcase weight without a HGP - it is having an impact. Mr House said it is a challenge to put cattle into the feedlot heavier, and still get them to grow well to get to the desired carcase weights. “It is not an easy task, there are a lot of really good producers in this room and they are trying to make that work,” he said. The growth advantages of the Charolais breed offer producers benefits in hitting weigh thresholds within the feeding time frame. Mr House said the profit and loss of the trial “blew out this year”. There was a $5,760 variation in team profit, or $1,150 per head, from the most to least profitable team. This was significantly up from the $4,080 per team, or $815/ hd, profitability variation in 2021.”The most profitable team is almost $1,400 above average, but the least profitable team had lost the feedlot over $4,000 as a team of five animals,” he said. The Rosedale team top team had a profit of $1,360.36. “Most the teams at the bottom end have generally lost an animal. “With high cattle prices the variation in profits has blown out further”. A challenge in industry, that I don’t think we will ever solve, is the variation of performance of animals in the feedlot, variation of performance as a carcase all contributes to this but there is an enormous amount of variation that as an industry we want to tidy up.

Excellence at Eskdale Cattle The Brisbane Valley in Queensland is a true bastion of the Charolais breed in Australia. A claim substantiated every year at the Shepherdson and Boyd Toogoolawah Weaner sale where over 3,500 of the calves on offer will have Charolais influence from a total yarding of 6,000. Held in May the sale features pen after pen of well-bred cattle keenly sought after along the east coast. Crossbred calves bred in the area are renowned for their ability to go ahead on grass or grain after weaning. A long time vendor at the Toogoolawah Weaner sale is Eskdale Cattle based on properties Eskdale South and Eskdale West. Dr Matthew and Dr Melissa George, feedlot veterinary & nutrition consultants purchased Eskdale South and adjoining Eskdale West four years ago and have added other properties to bring the enterprise up to slightly over 10,000 hectares. Eskdale South and West were originally part of Eskdale Station up to 1916. The Eskdale region is located between Crows Nest and Esk, only 100 kilometres from Dinmore Abattoirs outside Brisbane. Melissa said their focus is on a cow calf operation selling weaners into the local weaner sales such as Toogoolawah. Rainfall in the area is 860mm annually with 2022 being an exception year. The annual rainfall for Esk January to May is 436mm, in 2022 over 1,250mm has fallen. The country ranges from creek flats to forested steep hills with a granite base soil. cont page 28....

Pastures consist of native black speargrass and couch. Creepy bluegrass and other stylos have been introduced to improve the native pasture. A centre pivot watering Rhodes grass with Lucerne produces hay for the property. Cultivation of some paddocks with grazing oats assists in providing fodder for winter grazing. The program at Eskdale South has utilised Charolais genetics since current managers Trevor and Lynne Watson first came to the property. Matthew and Melissa have introduced a Wagyu herd in recent years but the majority of females on the property are joined to Charolais sires. The breeding herd is Bos Indicus infused to deal with the humid environment with ticks. The herd is dipped regularly to control ticks with some use of pour on treatments. Wild dogs add further environmental stress factors to the enterprise. Herd health is paramount with the breeding herd 5 in 1 and Pestigard vaccinated. Calves are vaccinated with 5 in1, Bovishield MH and Rhinoguard. The cattle have access to dry lick formulated by Matthew and Melissa specifically for the herd’s requirements. Cows are pregnancy tested with Trevor reporting over 90% conception achieved. Empty cows are marketed out of the program. The property runs with a team of five with horses used extensively in the country, which can be quite steep and forested. The property is well watered with over seven creek systems running through the holding, dams and solar pumps.

Matthew commented “we are running a terminal crossbreeding program with a Santa Gertrudis, Droughtmaster cross cow base which we are currently infusing fifty percent Red Angus into that, the power of infusing that North American genetics from a carcase merit and accuracy of genetics selection standpoint has been outstanding. We will crisscross those back now in our maternal line back across the Santa Gertrudis so it will be a pure Red Angus Santa Gertrudis cross for their first calf, their second calf onwards will be to the Charolais bull, with that part of the program being terminal”. Trevor prefers the Santa Gertrudis cross female for her extra bone and performance. Results from the Red Angus sires introduced to the program look outstanding with the first heifers weaned and looking very impressive. Trevor is aiming to retain 150 replacement heifers annually with the Santa Gertrudis or Red Angus genetics. Some Charolais cross females are also retained. Over recent years to build numbers, some outside females were purchased including some Stanbroke composite types. Looking at the breeding herd there is a mix of breeds with a Bos Indicus component the real common factor. When joined to the Charolais bulls the consistency of the progeny is quite outstanding. Trevor commented, ‘the best thing about a Charolais, you can put them with any type of crossbred cow and you will get a line of calves”. With an annual draft of 600 calves, heading into the Toogoolawah Weaner sale this visual uniformity adds value to the calves. Charolais sires run with 2000 breeding females calving August through to December. Increasingly more poll Charolais sires are being introduced. Trevor said it is noticeable at marking the number of poll calves coming through and one less job. cont page 30....

Sires are selected from a mix of Charolais studs and Trevor has a good knowledge of the performance of the sires. Estimated breeding values are used in selection with a preference for square-topped bulls standing on good bone. With the nature of the land, bulls need to be structurally sound to ensure longevity. Five to six Charolais sires are introduced each year into the program. Most mobs are multi sire joined with the odd single sire herd depending on available paddocks. One of the most powerful tools available to cattle producers to improve the efficiency of production in a herd is the use of crossbreeding. Effective use of a crossbreeding system allows producers to take advantage of heterosis (hybrid vigour), complementarity and breed differences to match cattle to available feed resources and to predominant market preferences. All breeds manifest superiority in some of the economically important traits, but no breed can boast excellence in all traits. A crossbreeding program should be designed to capitalize on those traits, which each of the parent breeds bring to the mix. This is known as complementarity, or a cross which combines the strengths of different breeds. Complementarity helps match the genetic potential for economically important traits such as growth rate and carcass composition with climate, feed resources and market preferences. Simply put, breed complementarity means that the strengths of one breed can complement or mask the weaknesses of another breed. In practical terms, a producer looking to utilize complementarity would choose a bull breed that would pass on rapid growth and desirable carcass traits to breed to his crossbred cows that would provide adequate milk for the rapidly growing calf and produce a live, healthy calf each year. The Eskdale Cattle program takes advantage of heterosis to the maximum with their three way-crossbreeding program whilst retaining the adaptive traits for the herd to be successful in the environment. The Bos Indicus cross dams benefit from Maternal Heterosis. Maternal heterosis is the increase in production of a cow above that of the average of her parent breeds.

Advantages of maternal heterosis are seen in maternal ability, reproduction, longevity, calf survivability, pounds of calf weaned and younger age at puberty. Longevity in the female herd is also highly useful as it directly influences the selection pressure on replacement heifer numbers. Joining these females highly adapted to their environment to the Charolais sires then increases the positive heterosis effect, which has been proven to influence calf-weaning weights. It is a great program. Match the breeding herd to the environment. Utilise the benefits of maternal heterosis. Double up with heterosis courtesy of the Charolais sire. At weaning, the calves can be sold as weaners or retained to be marketed as older cattle. Matt and Melissa’s herd health strategy has their weaner calves vaccinated to be setup immunologically to be suitable for backgrounding and entering feedlots.” Melissa added “Eskdale is trying to achieve the best animal welfare possible, best animal health possible and best productivity possible, the same key areas they aim to assist clients with.” The Eskdale Cattle weaner pens at the recent Toogoolawah sale featured signage with the comprehensive treatment records for the calves.

Matthew & Melissa George, Eskdale Cattle

“

Really what we are chasing with our Charolais bulls is productivity, large fast growing powerhouse cattle that can produce great beef

The proof of the program’s success can be deemed from the demand for the progeny. At the Weaner sale on the 27th May 2022 Eskdale Cattle the top pen offered made $2,210 with the first eight pens averaging over $2,000 a head. The program at Eskdale Cattle is well structured taking advantage of the Charolais attributes and the science of heterosis. Developing a fertile maternal herd adapted to the challenging environment and using the growth and muscle of the Charolais has seen the program produce outstanding results. Melissa commented, “Really what we are chasing with our Charolais bulls is productivity, large fast growing powerhouse cattle that can produce great beef”. Eskdale Cattle is achieving that with great success. Harnessing both individual and maternal heterosis, using breeds from a wide genetic background with different qualities the Eskdale Cattle is well designed and well executed. Having excellent genetics in use is only of value when management can deliver nutrition, herd health and marketing. Eskdale Cattle is certainly achieving these components of a successful breeding program and the buyers recognise it.

Amanda Wins the 2022 International Youth Scholarship Charolais Charbray International are very pleased to facilitate the International Youth program after several years in hiatus. The host organisation this year is the American International Charolais Association with an event featuring on leadership. Youth delegates from around the globe will converge into Kansas City providing networking and personal growth opportunities. Representing the Charolais Society of Australia will be Amanda Cavenagh from the Elgin Park Charolais herd in Western Australia founded in 2007. Amanda also runs her own Ace Charolais stud in between working and studying. Amanda is a 19-year-old Curtin University student currently studying an Associate Degree in Agribusiness at Muresk Institute. While studying Amanda is employed as a casual Livestock Support Officer for Elders and Nutrien Ag solutions at the Boyanup saleyards. Amanda has been involved with the Charolais breed, having been a youth member for a number of years as well as starting her own stud in 2016. In addition to this, Amanda has been involved with the Charolais Society of WA attending and helping with a number of fundraiser and promotional events. Amanda has taken the opportunity to exhibit in many local country shows as well as the Perth Royal Show with great success. Amanda has been succesful in the Western Australian State Beef cattle paraders competition in both 2018 and 2021, which then allowed her to compete in the 2019 National final held at the Perth Royal Show. In 2018 Amanda won the Charolais Society of Western Australian regions Scholarship to attend the Charolais Youth Stampede, held in Dubbo NSW. Amanda said “This was an amazing and valuable experience where I learned a great deal about the breed and met so many other likeminded Charolais members”. In the future, Amanda has her sights on pursuing a career within the agricultural industry with a strong interest in agricultural sciences as well as in agricultural promotion/ education. Amanda is intending on continuing her university studies and would one day like to have completed an additional degree in either Secondary Education or Marketing. Within the Charolais breed in the future Amanda is aiming to continue to be involved with her family stud as well as one day expand her own herd, hopefully on her own property. Amanda is also keen to continue her involvement in promoting the Charolais breed in Western Australia and across the nation. The International Youth Program was initialised in 2018. Charolais International voted unanimously at the 2017 Annual General Meeting to implement a Youth Program. The aim was for Charolais Youth from various countries to travel outside their borders and met at a common event. It was felt the youth would benefit from meeting at a common location in the world annually for leadership, networking and educational opportunities. 34

Amanda Cavenagh, Elgin Park, Capel WA 2022 International Youth Scholarship winner

Since inception we have been represented at the two events both hosted by Canada in 2018 and 2019. Our two scholarship winners in the past, Heidi Nicholls and Sarah Nesbitt both found the scholarship educational and worthwhile. Heidi returned to Canada after her scholarship trip gaining employment and further experience. During Covid when international travel was restricted, Charolais Charbray International ran a photography and video competition to keep the youth invested in the program. Laura Lockhart’s image represented Australia in that competition. Amanda will participate in the CharFocus leadership program and then the international delegates will continue on with their program. This will include feedlot, seedstock and Club Calf tours. A visit to the Ozark Empire State Fair, Joplin Regional Stockyards and a packing plant will give the delegates a broad view of the American beef industry. To round it off, a night at the baseball featuring the Kansas City Monarchs before making their way home. We wish Amanda all the best for her trip and experience in the United States of America this year. We look forward to reporting on her journey in the January 2023 magazine. In the future Charolais Society of Australia will host this international youth program and we look forward to developing a tour which will include as many Australian Charolais youth as possible.

Breeding Charolais for 40 years

How Polled are Charolais? Developments in the intensity and practices of beef cattle production has changed over time. The attitude to and acceptance of horned cattle has significantly changed. Generally, in the modern commercial cattle industry, horned animals are less desirable because they pose potential hazards for other cattle and animals used for mustering (horses, dogs), feeding, handling and transport facilities, and farmworkers. Meat Livestock Australia (MLA) report bruising costs the Australian beef industry over $30 million each year – equivalent to $4 for every beast slaughtered. Evidence indicates that the single major cause of bruising is the presence of horns. While dehorning or disbudding is a common practice to reduce these issues on-farm, all surgical, chemical and cautery procedures are costly and cause varying degrees of pain and reduced animal welfare, morbidity, mortality and reduced productivity. Welfare guidelines recommend that preference should be given to breeding hornless, or polled, cattle over dehorning (Animal Health Australia 2014). However, introgression of the genetic variants for polled into specialised breeds (e.g. dairy, beef and tropically adapted breeds) can lead to genetic loss of production traits (e.g. milk yield). This is because polledness is usually introduced into a herd by breeding with animals that have lower genetic merit or by crossing with another breed. Over time the quality of poll animals has also significantly improved as well as the number of poll animals available to purchase. Many seedstock herds now have a significant focus on producing poll genetics.

When the Charolais breed reached the Australian continent the importation of live animals was only possible through New Zealand. Early growth in the breed was mainly through the use of semen from horned sires over females of many breeds. Many of these females were polled and from the first calf back in 1970 poll cattle have been a significant part of our Australian Charolais history. All of the original sires used were horned. As the poll gene from base dams was dominant a significant number of Charolais bred in Australia were polled. Table 1 below show the increase of poll cattle in the Charolais registered herd over a twenty year period. It is expected that the percentage of polled cattle will increase with the availability of DNA testing for the poll gene and the ability to identify homozygous poll cattle. This data is based on registration information from the Charolais database. Testing for the polled variant in beef cattle has an interesting history. In the early days of DNA research for single genes, it was expected that the mutation which caused polledness in naturally horned cattle would be relatively easy to find, but this did not prove to be the case. Polledness in a population can be increased by simply selecting the polled animals, but because the polled allele is dominant over the horned allele, most polled animals in a horned/polled population will be heterozygous polled – meaning they carry one copy of the polled allele and one copy of the horned allele. The real advantage of a test for the polled mutation is to identify animals that carry two copies of the polled gene, which is called a homozygous polled animal.

As the polled gene is dominant over the horned gene, a homozygous polled animal will produce 100 percent of polled progeny when mated to horned animals in Bos Taurus breeds. The inheritance of horns is more complex in some Bos indicus breeds (Brahman and Santa Gertrudis) because they have the same gene controlling horns as Bos taurus breeds plus an additional gene known as the African horn gene. The African horn gene has two forms represented by Af for the horned form and An for polled. The African horn gene is sex influenced, so its expression depends on the animal’s sex. In the past to establish whether a sire was homozygous test mating to the recessive female (horned) was required. This was time consuming and relied on no horn calves being produced ever. In 2010 the CRC horn/poll test was commercialised. The CRC ‘micro-satellite’ test – being a test for a pattern of markers, rather than the actual mutation – was not 100 percent accurate, but was still widely used by a number of breeds to identify homozygous polled animals. From 2016 Australian producers have had access to a SNP based test which has proven very effective. The POLLED genetic locus for cattle was first localised to bovine chromosome 1 (BTA1) by linkage mapping (Georges et al. 1993), and the position was later refined to the centromeric region in several studies (Schmutz et al. 1995; Brenneman et al. 1996; Harlizius et al. 1997). Four DNA sequence variants have subsequently been identified on BTA1 that are associated with the polled phenotype: Celtic POLLED (PC), Friesian POLLED (PF), Mongolian POLLED (PM), and Guarani POLLED (PG) (Medugorac et al. 2012; Allais-Bonnet et al. 2013; Rothammer et al. 2014; Medugorac et al. 2017; Utsunomiya et al. 2019). All known variants are dominant, and cattle carrying a single POLLED variant will be either polled or scurred, depending on their genotype at the SCURS loci. It is likely that other unidentified POLLED variants exist in different populations and breeds (e.g. Shuxuan; Chen et al. 2017a). In the Charolais breed the two variants tested for and reported are the Celtic and Friesian. The Celtic POLLED variant was first identified in several European beef breeds originating from Celtic geographical areas.

How Polled are Charolais? ...cont from page 37

The Friesian POLLED variant was first identified in HolsteinFriesian cattle. When results are provided for polled animals as heterozygous polled (one copy of the polled gene) or homozygous polled (two copies of the polled gene) they are considered to be 100 percent accurate, although some animals get a ‘No Result’ outcome. This issue is most common in Indicus cattle and is more likely to occur in animals which are genetically horned. Over the last six years only 49 Charolais have returned a “No Result” from 7,000 tests conducted. The results in Table 2 show a gradual increase in homozygous proven animals in the Charolais population. It should be remembered that these are only the tested animals and there will be animals in the population that are homozygous poll but have not been tested. The results for 2021 will increase as these animals reach an age where breeders test. The test results also report the variant the animal has, Celtic Pc or Friesian Pf. Regardless of the variant present the animal will be poll. The frequency of the variants in the tested Charolais population is shown in Table 2. It is quite noticeable that the Celtic variant is considerably higher represented in the Australian Charolais population. Only six animals from the 2,700 tested homozygous animals are homozygous with the Friesian (Pf) variant. What these tables do indicate is within the Charolais breed there are many homozygous animals to select from. In addition to the complete absence of horn growth, the POLLED variants are associated with several other phenotypes. The skull morphology of polled cattle is characterised by a narrower and peaked poll (Dove 1935); Polled cattle that carry the Celtic or Friesian variants also have a second row of eyelashes. Allais-Bonnet et al. (2013) examined 78 polled cattle and characterised the phenotype as additional eyelash growth and hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth) of the eyelid. There have been no reports regarding atypical eyelash growth for cattle carrying other variants. There are also no reports that this eyelash phenotype has any detrimental effects on polled individuals. Stud breeders can use this data to increase the frequency of polled progeny in their herd as well as the number of homozygous breeders. Homozygous sires mated to homozygous dams will only produce homozygous calves.

The market place has indicated a clear premium for polled bulls at sales. The thirteen Charolais bulls that sold at auction for greater than $40,000 in 2021 were all polled. Historically there have been some misconceptions about the quality of poll cattle. In 1996, Dr. Laki Goonewardene from Alberta and Joseph Stookey collaborated on a project to compare the performance records of horned and polled Charolais and Hereford bulls. The bulls were kept at two test stations, one in Alberta and one in Saskatchewan from 1985-1993. They had access to the performance records of 578 Charolais bulls (329 horned and 249 polled) and 1,860 Hereford bulls (1,182 horned and 678 polled). Little difference was found between the horned and polled bulls in the traits that were measured. The polled Charolais bulls did carry significantly more backfat than their horned counterparts, but they were not different in average daily gain, adjusted yearling weight or in scrotal circumference. (www.beefmagazine.com). Apart from negative consumer perception of animal husbandry practises such as dehorning, eliminating the labour involved in the dehorning process has many advantages to a beef producer. Poll calves are less stressed at marking time and the benefits in the feedlot are quantifiable. These include reducing the risk of injury and bruising to herd mates, preventing financial losses from trimming damaged carcasses caused by horned feedlot cattle during transport to slaughter, less space at the feed bunk and in transit and decreasing the risk to staff. Using poll inheritance can also work with poll cows in commercial herds. A breeder with a herd of pure Angus that should be homozygous poll can purchase a horn Charolais sire and produce poll calves.

James and Aleisha Pisaturo, Inga Downs won the Clermont Cattlemen’s Challenge for the second successive year. Their Charolais/Droughtmaster cross steer selected for the Carcase & Taste Test judging is shown above.

Clermont Cattlemen’s Challenge Clermont Show in Queensland run a unique event in conjunction with their annual show called the Clermont Cattlemen’s Challenge. The event runs over a twelve-month period and has several layers of judging. Entrants select a pen of five steers, which are agisted on pasture for 9-10 months. This replicates the growing out on pasture phase in the northern industry after weaning. The steers should be in the optimal weight range of 280320kg. Competition entries were treated with Longrange Botulinum, Ultravac 7 in 1, Dectomax & Compudose 400. In the Clermont Cattlemen’s Challenge there are placings giving for both the grass and grain fed weight gains, competition points for overall weight gain, live judging, carcass evaluation and a taste test. Approximately 100 days before the annual show, the entries were transferred to Paringa feedlot where they are fed until the show. After 80 days on feed, exhibitors meet at the feedlot to select their animals for the various judging components. Exhibitors have the ability to remove one steer from the competition. Exhibitors select one steer for judging in the carcass and taste test segment. Three steers are selected to be judged live in the Clermont show Beef Cattle section as a “Pen of Three most suitable for the 100-day grain fed market”. These same three steers will also compete for “Pen of 3 steers with the highest weight gain”. James and Aleisha Pisaturo based at Inga Downs, Dingo Queensland run the Veejay Downs Charolais and Almafi Droughtmaster studs. They entered a team of Charolais cross Droughtmaster being five steers in the competition which started in May 2021. They received the full 5 points on entry for meeting the entry weight range. The Inga Downs team placed 5th as a pen of 5 and received one point. In the overall weight gain this team placed fourth (2 points),

The selected steer slaughtered and judged a s a carcass placed second (4 points). A Rib Fillet from this carcass was evaluated in a Taste test and placed 3rd (received 3 points). When all the points were tabulated, the Inga Downs team placed first overall on a total of fifteen points with two other teams scoring 14 points. This is the second consecutive year James and Aleisha have won the Challenge with their Charolais sired Droughtmaster cross steers. This success also saw James and Aleisha crowned as The Clermont Cattle King & Queen. This is awarded to the exhibitor gaining most points in the pen of 3 steers with the highest weight gain; Single carcass most suitable for the 100day grain fed market; Taste Testing competition; Pen of 3 steers most suitable for the 100-day grain fed market & Pen of 5 store steers most suitable to grow for the 100-day grain fed market (judged at the 2021 Show). Event sponsor, JBS will be featuring the Inga Downs beef at a special promotion at the Commercial Hotel in Clermont The judging of this Challenge competition aligns closely to the commercial industry in central Queensland where weaners are backgrounded on grass before being finished on grain. The success of the Charolais sired crossbred steers from Inga Downs validates the commercial value the Charolais breed can add. The Droughtmaster female in this breeding program has the adaptation attributes with the Charolais sire adding that extra performance and muscle pattern that adds value during the growth and feeding phase. James and Aleisha have entered another team of the same cross for next years judging showcasing their Charolais and Droughtmaster genetics.

Sydney Royal 2022

Judge: Mr Scott Myers, Myers Angus & Limousin, The Rock, NSW

July 2022 Charolais Magazine

An early start for judging at Sydney Royal saw the sun shine brightly for the first time in several days in a stroke of good fortune. The Sydney region had received their annual rainfall by mid-April and the show organisers elected to judge in the open air. Not all breeds had the same luck and getting to the ring required some thought. If the old saying there is money in mud is true then bank accounts would be overflowing this year. Judging Charolais this year was Scott Myers from Myers Angus at The Rock in New South Wales. Scott also works in stud stock with agency H Francis and Co. Scott is well known in the Charolais breed having managed Airlie Charolais for some years. Close to 70 head from five states paraded with the judging being livestreamed to a larger audience. It was great to welcome back international visitors including New Zealand and Canada.

Junior champion heifer came from the largest class of the day with Venturon Livestock’s, Venturon Naughty But Nice S32 (P) winning the Female 12 to 14 month class. This heifer is one of the oldest Turnbulls Duty Free 358D (P) calves in Australia. This heifer’s dam, Venturon Naughty But Nice was Grand champion female in Adelaide 2019 and her first calf was Supreme Charolais Exhibit at the 2021 Perth Royal show. Judge Scott Myers commented the “Junior champion heifer was exceptional”, he added, “finding that femininity, expression of rib, depth of body, softness, teat placement and skeletal structural soundness in one package made her a clear standout. It would be a long time before we see a heifer like that again” Second in this class was Boulview Swazzie (P) shown by South Australian Youth members Alizah, Eleni and Thomas Fogden, Loxton SA.

This heifer was the calf at foot on the cow the Fogden Family entered in the Virtual show conducted by International Charolais and Charbray. Interestingly this class featured heifers from five states of Australia. Reserve junior champion heifer was Wakefield Amaze 82 (P) exhibited by Greg and Jenny Frizell, Wakefield Charolais, Armidale NSW. This heifer comes from the same family as Wakefield’s National Champion and Brisbane Interbreed winner in 2019, Wakefield Amaze 38 (P). Amaze 82 certainly had that look at me deal with her growth and muscle pattern exceptional. The Franco Family won two classes in the strongly contested junior heifer section with Caloona Park Louise R65 (P) winning the 18 to 19 months and Caloona Park Nicole R50 (P)(R/F) taking the 19 to 20 months class. Sired by home bred sires Caloona Park Nike Air (P)(R/F) and Caloona Park Nugget (P)(R/F) these heifers stood out with their development and growth for age. Venturon also won two heifer classes with their Venturon Hillary S91 (P)(R/F) sired by Canadian import HRJ Fan Favourite 804F (P) winning the 9 to 12 months heifer class. Myona Charolais won the Heifer 14 to 16 months with Myona Penny R15 (P) also sired by Caloona Park Nugget (P)(R/F). Caloona Park Nugget was the Grand Champion Charolais bull at Sydney Royal in 2019 and a member of the winning Interbreed Hordern Trophy team that year. Youth Members Sharnie and Olivia Franco placed third with their heifer purchased to start their herd, DSK K25 Polly R26E (P). Joshua and Jordan Fenech also placed with their purchase DSK TGL Polly R38E in the class 18 to 20 months heifer. Several new exhibitors placed throughout the judging including Wildes Pastoral, Taylor Livestock, and Tallimba Charolais. Returning exhibitors to place including Blackduck Charolais, Waterford Charolais, Calmview Charolais, Tayla Miller and Bureen Charolais. Overall the depth was outstanding and ribbons were earnt. Senior and Grand champion cow was Winchester Daisy Duke N16E (P) exhibited by Gavin and Kristie O’Brien, Orange NSW. This impressive female won the Cow over 36 months’ class and paraded with a well-developed heifer calf at foot sired by Venturon Maximum Impact (P).

Venturon Raise The Bar R1E (AI) (P) Senior and Grand Champion Male exhibited by Venturon Livestock, Boyup Brook WA.

Judge Myers commented, “this is an exceptional cow, to have a cow with that much power, to have that beautiful front end with a heifer calf at foot with the same femininity, it’s hard to find that combination in one animal. I feel this cow would be an awesome bull breeder, she has it all”. Sired by LT Wyoming Wind 4020 (P) and from the Supreme Charolais Exhibit at Sydney in 2006, Minnie-Vale Quist Y3E, this cow was Sydney Junior Champion in 2019. At the conclusion of Charolais judging Scott Myers awarded this cow Supreme Charolais Exhibit. In the Urquhart Trophy, Daisy Duke won the Interbreed Champion Female. One of the three judges on the panel of three for the Interbreed, Jason Strong (Managing Director Meat and Livestock Australia) said “she is really refined and she’s got great depth of body. She moves well and still carries quite a bit of weight in the carcass. She is a really good depiction of how we can have functional, refined females that are still relevant to the meat industry”. Judge Scott Myers commented, “the Senior Charolais cows were outstanding, the breed has come ahead in leaps and bounds over the years, with fleshing ease, clean fronts, high yielding big ribbed and hip functional females with exceptional udders”.

Sydney Royal 2022 ...cont from page 47 Reserve Senior champion female also came from the Winchester stable with Winchester Miss Cooley Q6E (P). This cow was sired by Venturon Maximum Impact and won the 30 to 36 months’ class. This female had tremendous length and paraded with her first calf at foot. Myona Charolais won the Female 20 to 24-month class with a daughter of SVY Grizzly 521C (P), Myona Rosie R8 (P). Myona also came second in the over 30 month class with Myona Lilly N14 (P) sired by Myona Kracka Jack K17 (P). Junior Champion bull was DSK Real Big Deal R61E exhibited by Chris Knox and Helen Alexander, DSK Charolais, Coonabarabran NSW. Sired by Full French sire ANC Kind (P) this bull won the 14 to 16 months class weighing in at 766kgs and scanning 122cm2 EMA. Judge Myers said, “the junior champion bull had a later maturity pattern”.

Scott continued “He was a bull that was balanced, soft with high growth for his age, massive EMA and beautiful fats. He had beautiful skin and hair and ranked as a higher performing bull. The junior bulls were really interesting with a good variety of type which offers the industry access to different tools. The reserve junior bull exhibited heavy weight for age in a more moderate stouter package, it shows how the breed can bring so many tools to the industry and be exceptional in calving and push weight gain in the quest to produce quality finished carcasses the Charolais is renowned for”. Reserve junior champion bull was Venturon Stamp Duty S42 (P) from the 12 to 14 months’ class. This bull at 12 months weighed 664kgs and scanned 104cm2 EMA. This bull was a flush brother to the junior champion heifer.

Second in this class was another flush brother Venturon Super Duty S30 (P) who is heading for stud duties at Boulview Charolais in South Australia. Boulview purchased this calf at the Venturon bull sale for $22,000 at 11 months with delivery after Sydney. Venturon also won the baby bull class under 12 months with Venturon Start The Party S97 sired by trait leader for 600 day weight Venturon Hamish (P). At eleven months he weighed 526kgs. Winchester Reload R7E (P) sired by Venturon Maximum Impact (P) won the 16 to 18 months’ class for Winchester Charolais. Reload weighed in at 768kgs with a scan of 121cm2 EMA. This bull recently sold privately for $25,000 to M & H Swords at Mudgee NSW. His full brother Winchester Lock N Load (P) has semen exported to Canada with the first calves on the ground. Caloona Park Ripper (P) won the 18 to 19 months’ class for the Franco Family. The eldest junior class was won by Casey and Nigel Wieck with their CB Ringmaster bull sired by Moongool Gunsmoke. Judging the junior champion line up highlighted the depth in the Charolais show. Senior and Grand champion bull was Venturon Raise The Bar R1E (P) exhibited by Venturon Livestock. At 27 months this bull weighed 964kg and scanned 148cm2 EMA. Judge Myers commented, “the senior champion bull was an exceptional bull with muscle and power, big on the top and behind the shoulders.

He had a big girth with depth, excellent testicles and super sound foot makeup. He stood on good bone and was exceptionally clean through the front. This bull was purchased by Minnie-Vale Charolais for $36,000 at the recent Venturon bull sale. Sired by WC Milestone 5223 (P) and from a Sparrows Kingston 139Y dam this bull carried a outcross pedigree for many. Reserve senior bull was Rangan Ronan R40 (P) exhibited by Rangan Charolais. Sired by Tambo River Nevada this bull weighed 850kgs at 22 months. On the dam side this bull is from the highly successful Rangan Park Showgirl family. In the group classes Venturon Livestock won the Two Bulls under 24 months, Sires Progeny and Dams Progeny. Both the Sires progeny and Dams progeny were calves from the flush of Turnbulls Duty Free 358D and Venturon Naughty But Nice. Winchester Charolais won the Breeders Group. Gavin and Kristie O’Brien’s success in the Interbreed capped off a great showing for the breed. This was the only Interbreed success for the European sector at the event. After judging a large group of members and friends gathered for drinks and awards in the shed where Venturon Livestock was announced Most Successful Exhibitor. This is a great result after traveling across the country from Western Australia. Congratulations to all exhibitors for a successful promotion of the breed.

Reserve Champion Middleweight Steer on the Hoof exhibited by Scots All Saints College and bred by L & C Kirk, Warramunga Charolais, Peak Hill NSW.

Sydney Steers 2022 Charolais breeders and schools presented a great line of purebred steers at Sydney Royal this year. Prior to judging Greg and Leonie Ball selected the representatives for the Charolais team in the Stan Hill Trophy. The selection always gathers a great deal of interest. The three steers that made the team to represent the breed were exhibited by Chevalier College, Myona Charolais and All Saints College. In the hoof judging the Reserve champion middleweight went to Scots All Saints College, Bathurst, with their Charolais steer bred by L and C Kirk which weighed 548kg and measured 11mm for rump fat and 9mm rib fat. He sold for 725c/kg, or $3,973 to Craig Cooks Prime Quality. Sydney Royal award medals based on Market Specifications, Saleable Meat Yield and Eating Quality. Carcasses scoring more than 90 points from 100 are awarded Gold medals, Silver is 82-89 points and Bronze 74 to 81 points. Analysis of the 172 steers entered saw Charolais carcasses awarded 1 Gold, 1 Silver and 4 Bronze from 12 head entered.

This was the third best breed result based on number of medals to number of carcasses and the best performance from the European sector breeds . The only breeds to have a higher percentage placing was Square Meaters (3 head) and Speckle Park (1 head). The Charolais that won a Gold medal was bred by St Antonio Charolais and exhibited by Scots All Saints College. This carcass scored 90.5 points on the hook and had a dressing percentage of 65.1%. Silver medal winning Charolais were from Myona Charolais, Wellington High School with 2 steers both bred by Myona Charolais. Two of these steers were sired by Myona Magic Mike and one by Myona Cool Running. Both of these sires have impressive EBVs for EMA.

Technical The “Raw” Performance of an Animal Is it Useful When Making Bull Selections and Purchasing Decisions The major influence that beef producers have on the genetics of their herd is through the bulls that they select for use within their breeding program. Selecting bulls with the best genetic package for their operation represents a powerful opportunity to significantly improve the future profitability of their beef enterprise. Importantly, beef producers have a range of information to assist them with bull selection and purchase decisions. When presenting animals for sale, seedstock producers usually provide purchasers with a wide range of information on the lots available. This may include pedigree information, various appraisals of structural soundness, animal performance information such as live weights and ultrasound scan measurements, animal status for genetic conditions, bull breeding soundness information, BREEDPLAN EBVs and a range of vendor comments aiming to highlight the relative merit of each particular lot. An important question that purchasers must ask is how valuable is each piece of information in describing the value of the lots available, and hence the value of each prospective bull purchase. This technical article discusses how informative the performance of animals such as its live weight, weight gain per day or ultrasound scan measurements (often referred to as “raw” performance information) is in describing the genetic merit of prospective purchases.

July 2022 Charolais Magazine

What Influences the Rate of Genetic Improvement in a Beef Enterprise? Before considering the value of raw performance information, it is necessary to reflect on what influences the rate of genetic improvement in a beef enterprise. Many beef producers will have an appreciation of the factors that influence the rate of genetic improvement being achieved within their breeding program, however this can be more formally defined by the equation below. This equation equally applies to the genetic improvement that is made for an individual trait or the overall breeding objective.

R = i x r x σg L Where: R = Response to Selection (or Genetic Improvement) i = Selection Intensity r = Accuracy of Selection σg = Genetic Variation L = Generation Length

Of most importance in the context of using raw performance information when making bull purchasing decisions is the accuracy of selection, or “r” component of this equation. Accuracy of selection is the magnitude of the correlation between the true breeding value of the animal’s available for selection (eg. the bulls in a sale catalogue), and the information on which the selection decisions are based. The higher the accuracy of selection, the more informed and correct the selection decisions that are made are, and the more genetic improvement that is achieved.

The Value of Raw Performance Information When considering the value of using raw performance information as the basis for bull selection and purchasing decisions, there are a number of important considerations that need to be made. The raw performance of an animal (such as live weight or ultrasound scan measurements like eye muscle area) is a result of both the animal’s genetics and a range of nongenetic factors. The most obvious of these nongenetic factors, particularly when comparing the raw performance information of animals from different seedstock enterprise are differences in nutrition and management, however there are a range of other non-genetic factors that purchasers often overlook. These include factors such as differences in age, age of the dam, whether the bull was raised as a single or twin calf, or whether the bull is an embryo transfer calf and was reared by a recipient dam that made a different maternal contribution to the performance of the bull than that made by other dams. Selection decisions that do not take into account differences in these nongenetic effects will result in selection simply for differences between animals in these non-genetic factors, rather than genetic differences. While it is possible to adjust the raw performance for differences in the non-genetic factors described above (or fixed effects), further consideration must also be given to how much genetic control each trait is under. This is termed by geneticists as “heritability”. The heritability of a trait is the proportion of differences in the performance for a trait (once fixed effects have been accounted for) that are due to genetic differences and will consequently passed on to the next eneration (or progeny). In beef animals, traits such as coat colour and polledness have high heritability, traits such as live weight and carcase quality have medium heritability, and traits such as female fertility have lower heritability. The lower the heritability of the trait, the less the differences in the raw performance between animals will be reflected in the performance of their progeny. The relationship between the trait that has been measured and the trait that purchasers wish to select for (ie. the trait in their breeding objective) needs to be taken into account. The lower this relationship, the more compromised selection decisions will be based on differences in raw performance information. For example, if increasing live weight at 22 months of age is the trait of interest, then selection decisions based on differences in live weight of prospective sale lots at 12 months of age may be limited.

Similarly, if selection for increased muscularity is of importance, then selection on differences in raw eye muscle area measurements will be limited if no account is taken for the live weight of the animal. In many cases, purchasers may select animals with the biggest eye muscle area measurement, but these animals also are the heaviest animals, and their large eye muscle areas predominantly reflect their high growth genetics, rather than any perceived genetics for greater muscularity. The consequence of the above considerations is that if bull selection and purchasing decisions are based on differences in the raw performance information of animals that do not take into account differences in non-genetic factors, the heritability of the trait, and the relationship between the trait being measured and the trait of importance, then the selection decisions will not be based on genetic differences between animals and any selection decisions will be compromised. Put another way, selection decisions based on differences in raw performance information that do not take these considerations into account will result in a lower accuracy of selection, and lower resultant genetic improvement.

Making Accurate Selection Decisions Importantly, bull purchasers now have information available to them in the form of BREEDPLAN EBVs that take into account all these considerations and provide an estimate of the genetic merit of each sale lot for a range of economically important traits. To make the most accurate bull purchasing and selection decisions, purchasers should: 1. Identify the selection index of most relevance to their enterprise 2. Rank animals on this selection index 3. Consider the individual EBVs of importance 4. Consider other traits of importance such as assessment of a bull’s temperament, structural soundness, phenotype, bull fertility information, carrier status for any relevant genetic disorders, and DNA results for qualitative traits like coat colour and polledness. One strategy that can be used successfully is to firstly rank lots in a sale catalogue on the selection index of relevance, exclude any animals whose individual EBVs fall outside of an acceptable range and then assess the animals for these other traits of importance, excluding any animals from selection who are not acceptable in each area. Selecting animals in this manner will enable beef producers to make the most informed bull selection and purchasing decisions and provides the best possibility of maximising the value of the genetics that are introduced into the beef operation.

International Virtual Show 2021 Implications of the global pandemic saw several of the scheduled World Charolais and Charbray gatherings rescheduled. In lieu of not being able to gather physically the committee of the Charolais Charbray International Association offered breeders around the world an opportunity to promote their cattle via a Virtual show. Each entry was videoed, weighed, and entered into the appropriate age class. Entry videos were loaded to Youtube offering a global audience to view the entrants. A show book was produced and was available online and all entries competed in a People’s Choice judging on Facebook. The showbook contained links to all animals entered and can be viewed on the Charolais Charbray International website. Entries were open from February to November to allow producers in the different environments to enter their animal when conditions were most favourable. Entries were received from France, Estonia, Czech Republic, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador and Australia. The subtle differences betwen global breeding programs are very interesting. These are not surprising and are driven by different environments and market specifications The appointed judging panel originated from four continents with three judges in each section, Full French, Purebred and Charbray. The organising committee assembled an impressive panel with a vast judging history to sort the classes. Australia was well represented here with David Bondfield and John Mercer judging in the Full French and Charbray classes. Judging was conducted independent of each other judge and results compiled. 52

Medburn Tops in Weight Gain Trial Jan/Feb 1982 Magazine

Bill Hayes, Medburn Charolais, Tooborac, Vic. turned in a real championship performance at the Kyneton/Heathcote Weight Gain Trials conducted by the Vic. Dept. of Ag. between 1st June and 1st December last year. With a Charolais/Shorthorn cross steer they won the Champion Increase in Value Steer with an increase over the period of $131.55. The next closest was only $79.45. Medburn also won the Champion Steer for Liveweight Gain Relative to Carcass Quality with the same steer which gained 217 kgs over the period, and was reserve champion on carcass appraisal, with 82 points. The Medburn steer had a fat cover of 13mm and had been fattened entirely on natural pasture with no hand feeding with the other 30 head in the trial. The majority of the other steers only put on from 100- 110 kgs over the period.

Charolais Society Honours Top Cattleman June/July 1982 Magazine

At the meeting of the Council of the Charolais Society of Australia last month, Honorary Life Membership was awarded to well-known cattleman and a foundation Society member, Mr Rick Pisaturo of “Mandalong Park” St Marys. The award of Honarary Life Member has been bestowed on Rick in recognition of his outstanding and meritorious services to the Charolais Socity of Australia and the Australian Beef Industry, in which he has been prominent for many years and still is. Rick astounded visitors at this year’s Sydney Royal Show with the outstanding performance of his Charolais team and also with his display of his Mandalong Special breed, developed by him over many years, and now a recognised breed by the Royal Agricultural Society. In the judging of the Charolais classes, in which his top sire Mandalong Pollo (P) was judged Senior and Grand Champion bull, the judge Dr Roger Hunsley of Indiana USA described this sire as “in world class” - a real indication of the dedication that has gone into the establishment of the Mandalong herd. President David Dixon, will present Rick with his Honorary Life Member badge at a special function to be held later in the year. Congratulations Rick on a well deserved honour. [Ed note: Mr Rick Pisaturo celebrated his 100th birthday in April this year.]

Sydney Royal 1982 June/July 1982 Magazine

There was an overall entry of 46 head for the Charolais showing at this years Sydney Royal Easter show, nearly double the number paraded for the previous years judging. Professor Roger Hunsley of West Lafayette Indiana USA presided over the judging and pleased the large spectator crowd with his crisp instructive commentaries on the cattle judged as each beast left the ring. In placing the Mandalong Stud St Marys NSW Mandalong Pollo (P) as the senior and grand champion bull Prof Hunsley had no hesitation in describing this sire as “an outstanding bull” which together with the grand champion cow, Rosedale Olive entered by Messrs. R. P. & M Millner of Rosedale Charolais Blayney “would hold its own in any showing of the breed”. Mandalong Pollo (P) by Mandalong Litmus from Mandalong Oregan 32, weighed 1069kg at 845 days of age, a polled bull, took the 24-30 months class ahead of Messrs. C. & J. D’Oliviera “Barton Vale” Merriwa entry, Fleurs Chaka. In the judging for the grand champion Mandalong Pollo was placed ahead of “Gilmandyke Park Iguassa” shown by Dr E.G.T. & Mrs B.C. Bateman of “Gilmandyk Park” Charolais stud Rockley NSW who claimed the Reserve champion ribbon. Junior champion bull was Goonal Ringleader winning the 18 to 20 months class. Reserve Junior champion bull ATB Romeo was entered by newcomers to the Sydney Royal show, the McLachlan Group, Lilyveil, Wildes Meadow. In the female division top honours went to the Millner Family, Rosedale stud Blayney whose entry Rosedale Olive, was also a class winner at Melbourne last year and grand champion at Canberra show. Reserve senior champion was Gilmandyke Park Ruby R37 winner of the 24-30 month class shown by the Bateman Family. Mr Rick Pisaturo made a clean sweep in the junior female classes when Mandalong Friesa 193, 19 months old sired by Mandalong Litmus took the junior championship and Mandalong Boronia was the reserve. Messrs. R. P. & M. Millner of Rosedale stud, Blayney took the ribbon for the Sires Progeny Group with a team by their top sire Rosedale K.B.

Charolais / Charbray International BACKGROUND: The Charolais breed was identified during the Middle Ages on the Charollais and Brionnais farmlands. It was chosen by the breeders of these regions for its strong, lean, muscle structure and exceptional growth potential. These traits were desirable all over the world in the first quarter of the 20th century. This was enhanced by the medical community’s recommendation for leaner diets and the development of refridgeration, which made it unnecessary to have a layer of fat on the carcasses to preserve them during transportation.

Emile Maurice was the first breeder to understand the potential of the breed and during the 1950s spent lavishly to make the Charolais breed known in Europe and throughout the world. His sense of diplomacy and negotiation, his knowledge of the English and Spanish languages, his moral standing and acquired experience would make him the true ambassador for the Charolais breed for many years. His efforts successfully resulted in the exportation of Charolais breeding stock to numerous countries and the creation of a Charolais breeders association wherever the original core group was of sufficient size. In 1964, Emile Maurice proposed the creation of an International Federation of these association which would take the name of FIAERBC (Fédération Internationale des Associations d’Eleveurs de Charolais). In 1999, this federation would modernize its statutes and take the name of Charolais International. This was adjusted to include Charbray in 2017. The object of the organization is to: a. exchange the results of mutual experiences in the field of all breeding problems b. harmonize operating methods in the field of selection c. promote the exchange of breeding animals d. co-operate with organizations for research in all countries e. centralize reciprocal information and spread it f. study and promote the Charolais & Charbray breeds g. generally represent the interests of the Charolais & Charbray breeds throughout the world.

Dear Charolais breeders and enthusiasts, Member associations can bid to host either the World Congress or the Technical Conference. The gatherings have slightly different slant with the technical conference having a heavier focus on a topic predetermined for each attending association to present on. The Annual General Meeting of the organisation is also held during these annual get togethers. Three Zoom meeting are held of the Executive committee comprising up to two delegates from financial members annually. There is also a Breed Development committee that meets three times a year by Zoom to discuss items to develop the breed. In recent years Charolais Charbray International has hosted a Youth Exchange to develop our youth and establish networks amongst younger breeders. In 2021 a Virtual Global show was held to focus on the many types of Charolais and Charbray bred around the world. An International Youth Photography and Video competition was held in 2021 as travel was curtailed by Covid restrictions. The website has contact details for each member country and a wealth of other information. There is a pictorial view of National show champions, an archive of past international events and information on import regulations for some countries. It is worth a visit on a rainy day.

On behalf of the Czech Beef Cattle Association and all Charolais breeders in the Czech Republic, it is my great pleasure to invite you to Prague and Brno, the venue for the 2023 Charolais International World Technical Congress. After the 2008 World Charolais Congress, it will be the second time in history that we will have the honour of hosting delegates from around the world. The Czech Republic is a vibrant, modern country situated in the heart of Europe. Boasting a rich cultural heritage, the country offers visitors a wealth of attractions and impressive historic sites. Its capital city, Prague, is famed for its magical bridges, cathedrals, gold-tipped towers and church domes whose mirror images have been reflected on the surface of the Vltava River for more than ten centuries. Brno, the second largest city in the Czech Republic, is a metropolis of the Moravian part of our country with many historical attractions. Our main goal is to find the right balance between the professional and social aspects of this event. Our programme will start in Prague and then we will move to Brno from where we will conduct various activities: attend the national livestock show with a Charolais championship, see top Charolais herds and in Moravia, of course, will not forget about a wine cellar with folklore music and wine tasting and many others. An optional post-tour will be prepared for those interested in getting to know other Central and Eastern European countries. During the 3-day programme, we will visit famous Czech castle Lednice (UNESCO) and capital cities of Slovakia (Bratislava), Austria (Vienna) and Hungary (Budapest). We invite you to discover the Czech Republic - to immerse yourself in its culture, agriculture and rich history. We are looking forward to welcoming you all here.

Yours, Kamil Malát

MEAT STANDARDS AUSTRALIA (MSA)

Breeding for Improved MSA Compliance & Increased MSA Index Values The world-leading eating quality grading program, Meat Standards Australia (MSA), continues to grow year-on year, ensuring Australia’s beef and sheepmeat align with consumer expectations. In 2020-21, the MSA program achieved a major milestone, with MSA graded cattle now representing more than half of the national adult cattle slaughter, at 53%, up from 46% in 2019-20. The program continues to deliver to MSA beef producers, with an estimated $157 million in additional farm gate returns. More than 3.3 million cattle were MSA graded through 38 Australian beef processors in 2020-21. While this is an 11% decrease in the number of cattle on the previous year, it reflects an overall reduction in slaughter numbers. Processors representing 53% of MSA graded carcases are using the Eating Quality Graded cipher in their business to describe beef products by an eating quality outcome, as opposed to a dentition based cipher. An additional 2,594 producers became MSA registered in 2020-21, taking the total number of registered MSA producers to 48,241 In 2020-21, the average MSA Index for MSA compliant carcases in Australia was 57.62, a slight decrease of 0.41 from the recordbreaking 58.03 national average Index in 2019-20. While there was a reduction in the Grainfed MSA Index, there was an improvement in the non-Grainfed MSA Index compared to 2019-20. (Source: MSA Annual Outcomes)

BREEDING FOR MSA PROGRAMS There are many factors which affect an individual carcase’s suitability for both MSA and company/brand programs. Many of the factors that affect the eating quality of a carcase are heavily influenced by animal handling and management on-farm, during transport and at the abattoir. Many components are also influenced by the genetic makeup of the animal. Opportunities consequently exist to improve the suitability of animals for marketing into MSA programs, through the adoption of suitable breeding and selection strategies.

Understanding MSA Compliance Cattle consigned to MSA must comply with a number of minimum grading specifications; otherwise they will be downgraded to non-MSA product and won’t receive a premium. To be considered MSA compliant, carcases must meet the following specifications: • Muscle pH of equal to or less than 5.70 • Minimum rib fat of 3mm • Adequate fat coverage over the entire carcase Carcases graded during 2016-17 across Australia achieved 93.9% compliance to MSA specifications. Meat colour and pH were the greatest reason for non-compliance. Only a small percentage of carcases did not meet the minimum MSA requirement of 3mm rib fat. In addition to MSA specifications, some processors and brands impose further specifications based on their own market requirements. For example, processors may have specifications around carcase weight, dentition and fat colour. Throughout 2016-17, an additional 1.8% of MSA graded cattle did not meet company specifications. cont page 60.... 59

MEAT STANDARDS AUSTRALIA (MSA) Breeding for Improved MSA Compliance & Increased MSA Index Values Selecting Genetics for Improved MSA Compliance The different components affecting whether carcases meet MSA compliance specifications are all influenced to some extent by genetics and can be improved through the selection of animals with appropriate genetics. 1. Meat Colour & pH Dark meat colour (ie. over an AUSMEAT score of 3), commonly referred to as ‘dark cutting’, is associated with low muscle glycogen levels in the live animal prior to slaughter, thus resulting in an unappealing product for consumers. Similarly, if there is only a small amount of muscle glycogen present pre-slaughter, pH may not decline to the required level. Maintaining glycogen levels pre-slaughter is consequently of utmost importance and can be achieved by minimising stress and/or activity both on-farm and in the lead up to slaughter. Cattle with poor temperament have an adverse effect on the cattle around them, all of which results in higher pH carcases and a higher incidence of dark cutting. Selection for improved temperament can be achieved by ensuring that all animals used in a breeding program have acceptable temperament, and when available, selecting animals with superior Docility EBVs. Docility EBVs are estimates of genetic differences in the percentage of an animal’s progeny that will be scored with acceptable temperament, with higher EBVs associated with superior temperament. For example, an animal with an EBV of +20% would be expected to on average produce a greater percentage of progeny that have acceptable temperament than a bull with an EBV of –2%. Research has also demonstrated that animals with higher muscle content, as defined by size of carcase eye muscle area (EMA) adjusted for hot standard carcase weight, is strongly associated ––with reduced incidence of dark cutting. A reduction in the incidence of dark cutting in high muscled cattle also complements the other advantages of muscular cattle, such as increased retail beef yield and processing efficiency. Selection for increased muscle content in a standard weight carcase can be achieved by selection of animals with higher EMA EBVs. EMA EBVs are estimates of the genetic differences between animals in eye muscle area at the 12/13th rib site in a standard weight steer carcase, with higher EBVs associated with larger eye muscle area. For example, an animal with an EMA EBV of +4.4 mm would be expected to produce calves with larger eye muscle area than an animal with an EMA EBV of +1.0 mm, relative to carcase weight.

2. Rib Fat Thickness & Fat Distribution Rib fat thickness is the measured depth of subcutaneous fat over the quartered rib site between the 5th and 13th ribs. A covering of fat is needed to protect the high value primal cuts from rapid chilling, which can cause toughening, and to enhance eating quality and appearance. In addition to minimum fat levels, a key requirement for all beef markets is to have adequate cover over the high-value cuts along the loin (back) and rump. MSA requires carcases to have adequate fat coverage over all major primals, with an area of inadequate fat distribution not being greater than 10cm x 10cm over each individual primal. Selection for adequate rib fat and fat distribution can be achieved by selection of animals with appropriate Rib and Rump Fat EBVs. Rib and Rump Fat EBVs are estimates of the genetic differences between animals in fat depth at the 12/13th rib and P8 rump site respectively in a standard weight steer carcase, with higher EBVs associated with greater fat depth. For example, an animal with a Rib Fat EBV of +0.4 mm would be expected to produce calves with more fat than an animal with a Rib Fat EBV of -0.6 mm, relative to carcase weight.

BREEDING FOR INCREASED MSA INDEX VALUES In addition to MSA compliance, all animals meeting MSA grading specifications are now provided with MSA Index values, and increasingly processors are offering additional price premiums for animals with superior MSA Indexes. Understanding MSA Index The Meat Standards Australia (MSA) Index, expressed as a single number ranging from 30 to 80, predicts the eating quality of an individual beef carcase. A higher MSA Index indicates that the carcase has a higher predicted eating quality. The MSA Index value that a carcase receives is based on the eating quality of 39 different cut by cook combinations, weighted to account for the differences in the percentage of the total carcase that each cut represents. The MSA index is independent of any processing inputs and is calculated using only attributes influenced by pre-slaughter production. The MSA Index provides beef producers with an opportunity to benchmark the impact of genetic and management changes on their herd’s predicted eating quality across time, even when they are processed in different locations, by different processors, or at different times. In situations where a premium is paid for carcases with superior eating quality, the MSA Index also provides a valuable opportunity to increase sale price.

Factors Underlying the MSA Index The key factors impacting on eating quality that are influenced by the producer include: • Tropical breed content, verified or determined by hump height measurement • MSA Marbling Score • Ossification • Hormonal Growth Promotant (HGP) Status • Milk Fed Vealer Category • Saleyard Status • Rib Fat • Hot Standard Carcase Weight (HSCW) • Sex

The effect that each of the individual factors has on MSA Index varies. Whether an animal has been treated with an HGP, whether an animal is a milk fed vealer and/or whether an animal has been sold directly to slaughter have a very high impact on the overall MSA Index value of a carcase, followed by MSA Marble Score, hump height, tropical breed content and ossification. Rib fat, HSCW and Sex have relatively lower impacts on the overall MSA Index value. cont page 62....

cont from page 61....

Selecting Genetics to Improve MSA Index Score Whilst many of the factors that affect the MSA Index are heavily influenced by animal management and handling, there is also an opportunity to increase MSA Index values through genetic selection. 1. Marbling MSA Marble Score is an assessment of the intramuscular fat deposits at the quartered site between the 5th and 13th ribs. MSA Marble Score provides an indication of the distribution and piece size, as well as the amount of marbling. MSA marble scores range from 100 to 1190 in increments of 10, with higher scores indicating greater marbling. As MSA Marble Score increases by 10, the MSA Index has the potential to increase by 0.15 Index units, or rather an increase in MSA Marble Score of 100 (roughly equivalent to a 1 unit increase in AUSMEAT marble score) equates to a 1.5 unit increase in MSA Index. Selection for improved MSA marble score can be achieved by selecting animals with higher Intramuscular Fat (IMF) EBVs. Intramuscular Fat EBVs are estimates of genetic differences between animals in intramuscular fat at the 12/13th rib site in a standard weight steer carcase, with higher IMF EBVs associated with greater marbling in the carcase. For example, an animal with an IMF EBV of +2.9% would be expected to produce progeny with more marbling in a standard carcase than the progeny of an animal with an IMF EBV of +0.2%.

2. Ossification Ossification is the process whereby the cartilage present around the bones changes into bone as the animal matures, and is a measure of the physiological maturity of the carcase. Although it can be roughly associated with the animal’s chronological age, ossification takes into account the entire developmental lifespan of the animal which may be affected by nutrition, sickness and/or temperament. Ossification scores range from 100 to 590 in increments of 10, with lower scores indicating less physiological maturity. As ossification score decreases by 10, the MSA Index potentially increases by 0.6 Index units, or rather, a decrease in ossification score of 100 equates to an increase in MSA Index of 6 units. Therefore, younger animals with lower levels of ossification tend to have a higher MSA index values than older animals with higher ossification values. Selection for lower ossification scores can be achieved by selecting animals with higher 200 Day Growth, 400 Day Weight and 600 Day Weight EBVs, as calves which grow more quickly will reach target live weights at a younger age with lower ossification score. 200 Day Growth EBV, 400 Day Weight EBV and 600 Day Weight EBV estimate the genetic differences between animals in live weight at 200, 400 and 600 days respectively due to an animal’s growth genetics. In all three cases, higher EBVs are associated with heavier weights at the respective age. For example, an animal with a 400 Day Weight EBV of +60 kg would be expected to produce heavier progeny at 400 days of age than an animal with a 400 Day Weight EBV of +20 kg. 3. Rib Fat Whilst of utmost importance in determining whether carcases are compliant to MSA specifications, rib fat thickness also has an impact on MSA Index. A 1mm increase in rib fat corresponds to a potential increase in the MSA Index of 0.1 Index units, or rather, an increase of 10mm in fat depth equates to an increase in MSA Index of 1 unit. Selection for increased rib fat can be achieved by selection of animals with higher Rib Fat EBVs. Rib Fat EBVs are estimates of the genetic differences between animals in fat depth at the 12/13th rib site in a standard weight steer carcase, with higher EBVs associated with greater fat depth. Whilst a higher level of rib fat is favourable for superior eating quality and MSA index, this benefit needs to be balanced with the negative effect that higher levels of rib fat may have on carcase yield.

Charolais pure and crossbred cattle prior to processing in the 2021 Queensland Region Feedlot and Carcase trial. These cattle graded exceptionally well on the MSA Index when processed.

4. Carcase Weight Whilst an important specification in most livestock grids, carcase weight only has a small impact on MSA Index, with MSA calculating that as HSCW increases by 1kg, the MSA Index will potentially increase by less than 0.01 Index units. In other words, an increase in HSCW of 100kg equates to an increase in MSA Index of 1 unit. To select for heavier carcases at the same maturity (ossification), animals with higher Carcase Weight EBVs should be selected.

Selection of animals with acceptable temperament, higher Docility EBVs, higher Eye Muscle Area EBVs and appropriate Rib & Rump Fat EBVs can improve MSA compliance, whilst selection of animals with higher IMF EBVs to increase marbling score, higher Growth EBVs to reduce ossification score, higher Rib Fat EBVs to increase carcase fatness and higher Carcase Weight EBVs to increase HSCW at the same maturity, will increase MSA Index values and thus increase the eating quality of your herd. To Improve: Meat Colour

Carcase Weight EBVs are estimates of the genetic differences between animals in hot standard carcase weight, with higher Carcase Weight EBVs associated with heavier carcases. For example, an animal with a Carcase Weight EBV of +60 kg would be expected to produce progeny with heavier carcases than an animal with a Carcase Weight EBV of +30 kg.

TAKE HOME MESSAGES Whilst many of the factors that affect the eating quality of a carcase and its suitability for MSA programs are heavily influenced by animal handling and management, many factors are also influenced by the genetics of an animal.

Submitting DNA When a member requires an animal to be submitted for DNA please contact the office to arrange approved collection kits (Hair cards or Tissue sample Units (TSU)). If semen is to be tested a clean, dry unused straw is required. When samples are collected submit a DNA request form to office@charolais.com.au The Charolais office will generate a request form and email back for you to print and mail with your samples to the address provided.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND SAMPLES TO THE OFFICE.

If you are using TSU containers a spreadsheet reference page is also required for the lab to link the animals and units. A Standard Bundle including DNA profile, Parent verification and Poll testing takes approx four weeks from when the sample is received at Neogen. Please factor in postage time if your testing has a timeline attached. We cannot request rush testing of samples. If in doubt contact the office. 79
