COWBOY LOGIC In the cattle business it is imperative that we treat it like a business. Every employee (cow) must carry their own weight.

Much like in business if all an employee can do is pay for themselves they will not be around for long. The formula is very simple: employee/cow cost ($600) + margin of profit for the company (Cost + )= whether she is still here or not, much like where you work, you will see turnover. Now let’s look at what she has cost you to be open- Cost + space taken that a bred cow could be using + no return on the annual investment.($600 maintenance cost + loss of revenue of no calf to sell = $1600 of loss revenue per open cow.

COWBOY MATH

When you buy a highly documented, reproductively sound herd sire you add $$ to your business. What’s the value of a bull?

Highly performing bull will add 30 lbs to each calf. In a 25 head cow herd that totals 750 lbs of calf, over 4 years this comes to 3000 lbs. calf price at $1.75 = $5250 you can ADD to the herd bull purchase.

COWBOY CODE Our word is our bond. In our busy lives we understand that you can’t be everywhere you want to be. We have sent cattle across the county with a very simple guarantee. “If he is not what we told you he is, you don’t own him”. It is that simple. Look through this offering, see what may work for you and give us a call. We will happily tell you all about these bulls and have a sales representative purchase them for you. All bulls are Semen tested and guaranteed for your breeding season.

COWBOY COURTESY We will be happy to deliver any of these bulls to you, within 150 miles of the sale site. Delivery must be accepted before May 1, 2016.

How low is too low when selecting low birth weight bulls?

Gayle Smith, Cattle Business Weekly

An interesting question came up when a panel of seedstock producers took the stage during an open house at the University of Nebraska Gudmundsen Research facility in Whitman, Neb. A producer from the audience wanted to know if he selects bulls for lower birth weights, is he short-changing himself?

There has been a lot of buzz around the industry lately about how low is too low when selecting bulls for birth weight. No one wants to pull a calf, but is there a point where selecting a bull for too low of a birth weight is going too extreme? The panelists seem to think so. Jerry Connealy of Connealy Angus in Whitman, Neb., reminds producers that birth weight and yearling weight are highly correlated traits.

“When generations upon generations spread bulls with heavy birth weight or light birth weight stacked upon each other, we have defeated those antagonisms,” he says. “That correlation is still real, and its still there. In the Angus breed, we have conquered a lot of that. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone stacking light birth weight on top of light birth weight. Piling negative upon negative, you will eventually get a finer boned, frailer calf that will be a less rugged animal in the end,” he added.

Loren Berger of Berger’s Herdmasters in North Platte says producers should select bulls for birth weight based on what their end point is for their cattle. “I visited several feedlots who wanted to feed my cattle, and they all told me they want to take the Continental cross cattle to 1,450 to 1,500 pounds,” he says. “Most 65 pound birth weight calves will struggle to get to that, and still have an acceptable yield grade.”

Berger sees producers who are concerned about birth weight making some adjustments in their herd. “I think those producers need to separate the cows from the heifers. A cow can give birth to a heavier calf, and have the calf get up and nurse right away, and do all this in a harsh environment. If these cows are limited to giving birth to a 65 pound calf, in my mind, that calf is a loss. I think 85-90 pounds may be more ideal in most situations,” he explains. “I feel most producers are making a big sacrifice if they take low birth weight to the extreme in the mature cows.”

Connealy says too light a calf can also have more health issues. “There is certainly some buzz out there that short gestation calves have less developed lungs, causing us to see more sickness and other negative ramifications,” he says.

“In this industry, we are guilty of being plungers. We can’t moderate,” Connealy continues. “We think if a lighter calf is good, then an even lighter one is better. We have to stop somewhere. I think we are pushing that more than we need to. A cow can have a calf that weights 85-90 pounds, and we can still use the natural correlation between birth weight and yearling weight to our advantage. Heifer bulls need to be used as heifer bulls, even if we don’t like to pull calves,” he states.

Despite a trend toward lighter birth weight calves, the panelists still see cow size continuing to climb. “I see cow size continuing to increase as an industry,” Connealy says. “In the Angus industry, and particularly in our own business, we are struggling to hold cow size, and even decrease it from what it was in the 80s, when we were selecting those taller frame bulls,” he explains.

As an industry, these panelists see cow size continuing to increase unless there is a joint effort to select replacement heifers that aren’t on top or even at the higher middle end for size. “We need to select the smaller heifers,” Connealy says. “It is easy to say, but when you are standing out there selecting your replacements, it is very hard to do.” Panel moderator, Matt Spangler, points out conversations he has had with ranchers looking to decrease the size of their cows.

“A lot of the time, I talk to the rancher who wants to moderate his cowherd, and walk him through what he needs to buy for a bull. Then, at load out, I see him loading up the highest growth, heaviest muscled bull on the sale. The problem is in part what these guys put on offer, but it is also having the discipline to go to the sale and say ‘I may buy the bull that is below the breed average for milk, or above the breed average for birth weight, because I plan to use him for my cows’.” “In the end, the key is having the discipline to buy what you truly need,” Spangler tells the audience. “That is what will have the most tremendous impact on where we go from here with cow size.”
