Your No. 1 Beef Source Specialists in Superior Genetics

Delivering Genetic Progress To Australian Farmers

FOREWORD It is with great pleasure that we present the 2017/18 Angus Sire Directory.

We believe the sires presented are second to none and offer a range of sires to suit any program to achieve your ultimate aim of genetic gains with improved conception and profitability.

The sires are sourced from the best genetics available from the USA, New Zealand and of course, Australia.

We continue to source our USA sires from our partners at CRI/Genex, who not only supply the best genetics but also back them up with industry leading semen fertility sires which have been identified through the advancement of their PregCheck rankings. We believe this gives us a huge advantage over our competitors.

Also new this year from CRI/Genex is the addition of Sexed Ultra 4Million – Sexed semen for Beef sires. This improved sexed semen product has revolutionised the dairy industry by closing the gap between conventional and sexed semen conception rates. We are thrilled to be able to introduce the Sexed Ultra 4M product to the Angus breeders in proven USA breed leaders S Chisum and PA Full Power.

Once again this year we are introducing 4 new EDGE sires; one from the USA plus 3 from Australia. Only a limited amount of EDGE semen is allocated for progeny testing in Australian herds at $12.50 per straw. All other proven sires in this directory are available at a 10% discount when used in conjunction with our 2017 EDGE sires.

You can’t afford for her to be open.

PregCheck™ rankings are an evaluation of an individual sire’s frozen semen conception rate.

Which Sire Will Create More Pregnancies in your A.I. Program?

SIRE A

You can’t tell just by looking.

PregCheck has the answer.

SIRE B

Making the Right Choice

It’s that time of year again. Last year’s heifer calf crop has matured and looks great. Now, it’s time to choose a mating sire. The sire options are endless. As you study the Beef Genetic Management Guide, you narrow your selection down to two bulls. Both offer calving ease and are of the same genetic merit. Now for the tough choice, or maybe it’s not that tough. You notice Sire A has a PregCheck of 94 while Sire B has a PregCheck of 107. What does that mean again? Oh yeah, Sire B averages a 13% higher conception rate. Imagine that, 13% more pregnancies by using a sire with known fertility. The choice is made. Sire B it is.

If Your Store Isn’t Stocking Fertility Plus - Ask Why Not!

Can minerals make a difference? Yes; and so can you.

As you and I age, we need more specialised nutrition. Fish oil for joints, vitamin D, calcium and magnesium for bones; vitamin B for energy and vitamin E and selenium for healthy tissue. There is lots of research to support this. High performance humans need extra attention too; pregnant ladies, growing adolescents and elite athletes. The same is true for our sheep and cattle.

Grazing animals with a good mineral mix in their diet perform better. They have stronger immune systems, transport easier are less prone to the effects of stress. There is also loads of research to support this.

Mineral supplementation is not a difficult nor expensive job. Keeping a supplement, like Anipro Liquid Supplement, in the paddock all year round.

Stock will take a little every day. You will be surprised at the results on green grass, and you will be happy with the way they hang-on in the dry. Try it – I dare you. And while you’re at it – do the same for yourself.

Your livestock rely on you

Make it your best season yet

CONVENIENCE

Calving Ease Direct (%) EBV and Accuracy - Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in the ability of their calves from 2 year old heifers to be delivered without assistance.

Calving Ease Daughters (%) EBV and Accuracy - Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in the ability of their calves from 2 year old heifers to be delivered without assistance.

Gestation Length (Days), EBV and Accuracy - Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in the number of days from the date of conception to the calf birth date.

Birth Wt (kg), EBV and Accuracy - Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in calf BW. 200-Day Wt (kg), EBV and Accuracy - Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in liveweight at 200 days of age.

400-Day Wt (kg), EBV and Accuracy - Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in liveweight at 400 days of age.

600-Day Wt (kg), EBV and Accuracy - Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in liveweight at 600 days of age.

Mature Cow Weight (kg) EBV and Accuracy - Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in cow weight at 5 years of age Milk (kg) EBV and Accuracy - Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in milk production, expressed as variation in 200-day weight of daughter’s calves.

Scr Size (cm) EBV and Accuracy - Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in Scr circumference at 400 days of age.

Days to Calving EBV and Accuracy - Estimates of the genetic differences in female fertility, expressed as the number of days from the start of the joining period until subsequent calving.

Carcase Weight (kg) EBV and Accuracy - Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in carcase weight, adjusted to 650 days of age.

Eye Muscle Area (cm2) EBV and Accuracy - Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in eye muscle area at the 12/13th rib site, in a 300kg carcase.

Rib Fat (mm) EBV and Accuracy - Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in fat depth at the 12/13th rib site, in a 300 kg carcase.

Rump Fat (mm) EBV and Accuracy - Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in fat depth at the P8 rump site, in a 300kg carcase.

Retail Beef Yield percentage (RBY%) EBV and Accuracy - Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in percentage retail beef yield, in a 300kg carcase.

17. Intra-muscular Fat Percent (IMF%) EBV and Accuracy - Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in percentage intra-muscular fat (marbling) at the 12/13th rib site, in a 300 kg carcase.

18. Docility (DOC) - A tool to increase profitability od docile calves from one sire compared to calves of other sires. The EPO is expressed as a genetic difference in percentage units, with a higher value being more favorable for calmer temprament.

19. Angus Breeding Index - Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a typical commercial self-replacing herd using Angus bulls. This selection index is not specific to a particular production system or market end-point, but identifies animals that will improve overall profitability in the majority of commercial grass and grain finishing beef production systems. This selection index is particularly suited to commercial producers who sell progeny into different markets, or to seed stock producers supplying bulls to commercial clients who produce for a range of different production systems and market end points.

20. Domestic Index - Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial self-replacing herd targeting the domestic supermarket trade. Steers are assumed to be finished using either grass, grass supplemented by grain or grain (eg. 50 – 70 days) with steers slaughtered at 490 kg live weight (270 kg carcase weight with 12 mm P8 fat depth) at 16 months of age. Daughters are retained for breeding and therefore maternal traits are of importance. Emphasis has been placed on eating quality and tenderness to favour animals that are suited to MSA requirements.

21. Heavy Grain Index - Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial self-replacing herd targeting pasture grown steers with a 200 day feedlot finishing period for the grain fed high quality, highly marbled markets. Steers are assumed to be slaughtered at 760 kg live weight (420 kg carcase weight with 30 mm P8 fat depth) at 24 months of age. Daughters are retained for breeding and therefore maternal traits are of importance. There is a significant premium for steers that exhibit superior marbling.

22. Heavy Grass Index - Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial self-replacing herd targeting pasture finished steers. Steers are assumed to be slaughtered at 620 kg live weight (340 kg carcase weight with 12 mm P8 fat depth) at 22 months of age. Daughters are retained for breeding and therefore maternal traits are of importance. Emphasis has been placed on eating quality and tenderness to favour animals that are suited to MSA requirements.

USA EPD (Expected Progeny Difference) TERMINOLOGY Accuracy (ACC), is the reliability that can be placed on the EPD. An accuracy of close to 1.0 indicates higher reliability.

Accuracy is impacted by the number of progeny and ancestral records included in the analysis.

BW EPD (BW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit BW to his progeny compared to that of other sires.

Weaning Weight EPD (WW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.

Yearling Weight EPD (YW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.

Maternal Milk EPD (Milk), is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters compared to daughters of other sires. In other words, it is that part of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability.

Scr Circumference EPD (SC), expressed in centimeters, is a predictor of the difference in transmitting ability for Scr size compared to that of other sires.

CARCASS/ULTRASOUND EVALUATION Intramuscular Fat EPD (%IMF), is a predictor of the difference in a sire’s progeny for percent intramuscular fat in the ribeye muscle compared to other sires.

Ribeye Area EPD (RE), is a predictor of the difference in square inches of ultrasound ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to the progeny of other sires.

Fat Thickness EPD (FAT),expressed in inches, is a predictor of the difference in ultrasound fat thickness at the 12th rib of a sire’s progeny compared to the progeny of other sires. It includes the weighted average of 60% of the rib fat measurement and 40% of the rump fat measurement.

Feedlot Value ($F), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post weaning merit compared to progeny of other sires.

Grid Value ($G), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit compared to progeny of other sires.

Beef Value ($B), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post weaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires.

BIO-ECONOMICS $VALUES Weaned Calf Value ($W), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for pre weaning merit. $W includes both revenue and cost adjustments associated with differences in BW, weaning direct growth, maternal milk, and mature cow size.
