VIEWPOINT
CHAROLAIS Progress comes in many forms.
All require a fortitude to continue.
N
atural Disasters Two years ago this month, we were focused on a catastrophic wildfire which started in northwest Oklahoma and swept through a portion of the Texas Panhandle before entering southwest Kansas. Before being extinguished, the fire torched more than a half million acres, killed 10,000 head of cattle, burned 30 homes and took the lives of seven people. The locals called it the “100-year-fire.” This very week, two years post fire, the nation’s bread basket is reeling from another “100-year-event.” Floods are moving from the north in Wisconsin, the Dakotas, Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri to the south, breeching dams and levees and taking everything in its path. This unfathomable disaster is still creeping southward and will not stop until the flood waters reach the Gulf of Mexico. The floods are the result of historic snowfall, rain and a brutally cold winter. We won’t know the full economic impact of this year’s
representing Scurry County 4-H, Hermleigh, Texas, competed against a huge field to win the 2019 event. The steer was a Charolais and set a new world record price, selling for $625,000! First of all, congratulations to Lillyan! Some will argue that two consecutive Charolais grand champions at the world’s largest livestock event is an anomaly. We disagree. Arguably, the show ring does provide a snapshot into the phenotype that fits our industry today. Congratulations are in order for every child and their parents who have committed the time, energy and financial resources to compete in junior shows across the country this spring. The difficult but necessary life lesson about raising and caring for an animal, only to walk away at the end of its competitive days, knowing the animal now becomes a part of our complex food supply chain is extraordinary. Nowhere else, at such an early age, is a child faced with the reality of the role the beef industry plays in
Agriculture is resilient because of the people that make up this industry. natural disaster for months, but it will easily be in the billions. What we do know is that generations of farming and ranching infrastructure must be rebuilt. Livestock herds must be replaced. Millions of acres of farm land must be repaired before any crops can be planted. The emotional toll on young and old may simply be too much to bear and decisions will be made to exit agriculture. Others will continue, albeit with considerably more debt. Once again, the ag community is stepping up. Donations will come in from across the country. The personal impact is unthinkable. The impact to the livelihood of thousands is indescribable. Natural disasters will continue, and most are not preventable. If you can help, please do. Contact your state livestock associations or your local Farm Bureau office. Reach out. Agriculture is resilient because of the people that make up this industry. Champions The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has long been recognized as the pinnacle for junior steer shows. While ribbons and banners are cherished, qualifying for the premium auction is life-changing. Last year, 17-year-old Cameron Conkle representing Allen FFA, Allen, Texas, earned the judges nod to become the 2018 Grand Champion Junior Steer at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The steer was a Charolais and sold for a whopping $410,000. This year, 18-year-old Lillyan Digby,
sustaining life by producing food and nutrition. Congratulations are also in order for the cities that host our livestock families. These cities roll out the red carpet and celebrate agriculture. The exorbitant dollars for premium auctions are largely raised by volunteers and committees with no real connections to agriculture, yet they realize the value of supporting what we do and the youth that will be the next generation of decision makers. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo set a new record for attendance at more than 2.5 million people during the 24-day run of all events. The grand and reserve steers both set new premium auction world records, fetching $992,000! The entire junior 2019 premium auction totaled $17,445,112. Again, it’s important to recognize these astronomical totals are generated by folks who likely have no direct connection to agriculture. They have a passion for what our industries represent and the people directly involved. They have a shared mission to ease the financial burden of youth education. On behalf of a one grateful beef industry entity, we extend our most sincere thank you to Denver, San Antonio, Houston, Fort Worth, Louisville, American Royal, state fairs across the country and any city that collectively works hard to host our families and showcase the importance of food animal production and farming today. We know who you are. We know what you do. We thank you.

The Value of Genomic Testing
Sally Northcutt, AICA Genetic Consultant
for Genetic Improvement in Charolais Cattle
T Genomic results incorporated into today’s genetic evaluations allow us to refine these genetic relationships.
20
A P R I L 2019
he American International Charolais Association (AICA) single-step genetic evaluation continues to be an exciting milestone in ensuring that Charolais breeders and their commercial customers have improved genetic selection tools that will reliably characterize Charolais genetics moving forward. Genomic testing popularity is growing, as evidenced by numerous DNA samples being submitted by Charolais breeders. Test results are incorporated into the AICA National Cattle Evaluation (NCE) procedures which impacts animal EPDs and accuracy values. GENOMIC TESTING BENEFITS
Genomic testing, commonly referred to as DNA testing, provides affordable access and improvement to existing Charolais selection tools. Animals can be tested at any age and the genomic test results directly enter the NCE procedures to produce EPDs and accuracies. Breeders benefit by having increased reliability in the EPDs (larger numeric accuracy value), particularly for nonparent animals. In the past we have relied on pedigree relationships based on averages -- average relationships of ½ between full sibs and ¼ for half sibs, for example. Genomic results incorporated into today’s genetic evaluations allow us to refine these genetic relationships. For example, with the incorporation of DNA results we can account for full sibs sharing more or less than 50% of their genetic material rather than assuming an average 50%. The DNA test result, used to apply genomic relationships to the predictions for the full sibs, allows estimation of the random sample of genes (Mendelian sampling) inherited by the calf. This Mendelian sampling piece is the calf ’s difference from the parental breeding value average. CHAROLAIS JOURNAL
Genomics have given the seedstock industry the early insight into the genetic value of cattle prior to performance trait data collection in these young animals. Embryo transfer calves are another example of how genomic testing can provide a better characterization of genetic merit. If embryo transfer calves had only a pedigree estimate the accuracy would be low without DNA testing, somewhere in the magnitude of .05 accuracy. Traditionally we have said that ET calves share an average 50% of their genetic makeup, and a parental average EPD was used to evaluate and market animals. If the embryo calves had genotypes included in the single-step genetic evaluation, a more reliable suite of EPDs is determined. These DNA-tested calves could potentially have an NCE accuracy value of .30 with their EPDs depending on the trait and animal pedigree details. Genomics have given the seedstock industry the early insight into the genetic value of cattle prior to performance trait data collection in these young animals. This sets the stage for individual performance records to be submitted, for example the pre-and post-weaning weight traits, in proper contemporary groups for an additional accuracy benefit. As always, individual performance records matter when in proper groups, and the genomic testing results are only a piece of a successful genetic evaluation system.
the Association and the documented pedigree on file. Once the genetic evaluation is performed, the genotyped animals will receive EPDs, accuracy values, and the Terminal Sire Index (TSI) results. The accuracy value reported with the EPDs will be a larger numerical value than what is known for pedigree-estimated accuracy alone. Table 1 illustrates the typical range of accuracy values when a genotyped animal is included in the AICA evaluation update. In this example for growth traits, the average weaning weight accuracy result from a genotype-only tested animal with known pedigree and no contemporary group weight data is .27, and this measure of reliability can range from a minimum of .11 to maximum of .36. Table 1 includes accuracy examples for other traits from the growth evaluation suite such as birth weight, yearling weight and maternal milk. This example set of animals had no AICA NCE EPDs and accuracy values prior to DNA testing becoming part of their data. TABLE 1.

ACCURACY VALUES
The EPDs from the National Cattle Evaluation updates are reported with an accuracy value between 0 and 1. Nonparent animals, for example, have lower accuracy values because their EPDs have a greater chance of moving as more information is reported. In contrast, heavily used AI sires and donor dams tend to have more data behind their EPDs with progeny reported into the system resulting in greater numeric accuracy values. The DNA-tested animal results enter the AICA genetic evaluation procedures with at least their genotype result delivered from the genomic testing lab used by
More importantly is the increased need to report performance data from proper contemporary groups as part of NCE process. With the excitement of DNA technology, we sometimes overlook the increased need for phenotypic data to be reported for the evaluation updates, such as pre- and postweaning growth data, ultrasound, and carcass records.

Each cornhole team shall have 4 bags of one color. 3. All 8 cornhole bags begin at one end. 4. A coin flip shall determine which cornhole team has honors in round one. 5. One of the partners on the team who has honors shall begin play by throwing a cornhole bag at the opposite cornhole box. 6. A cornhole player may throw from anywhere behind the front of the cornhole box they are throwing from. 7. Game continues by alternating throws between the two opponent players until all 8 cornhole bags have been thrown. 8. If a cornhole bag hits the ground then bounces up onto the board, that bag shall be taken off the playing surface. 9. The next round starts when the other cornhole player on the team, which has honors, throws their first cornhole bag. 10. The cornhole game continues until one team reaches 21 or more points. Fouls: A foul occurs when any of the following happens: 1. A cornhole players foot goes past the foot foul line, termed a foot foul. 2. A player goes out of turn. The player who caused the foul loses the throw when the foul occurred and the bag shall be removed if it landed on the playing surface. Scoring: 1. The score shall be taken after all cornhole bags have been thrown for a round. 2. Points shall be given as follows. • 3 points for a cornhole bag that goes through the hole. Considered a Cornhole YALL • 1 point for a cornhole bag that is on the playing surface. • 1 point for a cornhole bag that is hanging into the hole. • 1 point for a cornhole bag that is hanging off the edge but not touching the ground. 0 points for a cornhole bag that is on the playing surface, but also touching the ground. • 0 points for a cornhole bag that is hanging off the front edge and is resting on a cornhole bag that is on the ground (unless the cornhole bag on the ground can be removed without making the hanging bag fall to the ground, then one point is given). 3. The cornhole team with the highest round score, adds the difference of the two scores to their game score. 4. The cornhole team who wins the round is given honors to throw first in the next round. 5.

H
ello, Charolais enthusiasts! My name is Kaitlyn Davlin and I have the pleasure of serving as your 2018 – 2019 Vice President. I’ve been on the Junior Board for the past three years and am excited to continue my journey with the juniors of the Charolais Association. Along with being on the AIJCA Junior Board, I have had the privilege of being a member of the Texas Junior Charolais Association for the past 6 years and am currently serving as President. I am 22 years old and from the small town of El Campo, Texas where my family and I farm corn and cotton as well as run a commercial and purebred Charolais cow-calf operation. I recently graduated from Sam Houston State University with a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science, and I am currently attending Texas A&M University where I am pursuing a Master of Agriculture in Animal Science. When I graduate, I hope to eventually become an embryologist and further expand my family’s cattle operation in South Texas.
the cook-off, public speaking, or the cattle show itself, always remember to compete with pride and class and maintain the utmost level of sportsmanship towards your competitors and friends. It’s easy to get caught up in the competition and get carried away by the competitiveness, but don’t forget the people you are competing against will be your lifelong friends and show family. I encourage everyone to compete in every single contest that is offered – it might seem like a lot when you are preparing at home beforehand, but I promise you will not regret it. Being involved is a great feeling! 3. Leadership – Whether this is your tenth Junior National or your first, it is your duty as a member of this association to always be a leader to those around you. Junior National is a week all about learning and growing yourself as a person in and out of the show ring. What better way than to start practicing your leadership skills now? Years or even months from now you could be one of the next board members for
“Junior National is a week filled with great opportunities to become involved and grow yourself as a person – take those opportunities and run with them!” With Junior National approaching us so quickly, I wanted to highlight a few of my favorite parts of this exciting week:
your state or national association! Being a leader to others and helping them grow is a very rewarding feeling that is hard 1. Fun & Fellowship – Junior National is a week filled with to come by. I encourage you to make an effort to be a leader countless activities involving new and old friends, family and throughout this week in Fort Worth. Junior National is a week filled with great opportunities to peers. Utilize these activities, such as the mentor/mentee program, barnyard olympics, and the cornhole tournament to become involved and grow yourself as a person – take those branch out of your comfort zone and meet new people. The opportunities and run with them! This is one week a year that unique aspect of our association is that we host families from all Charolais juniors and families are in one place, use it to around the country, not just the state! You never know who your advantage to meet new friends and build your network could end up becoming a lifelong best friend. Great things for the future. Don’t forget to have fun and fellowship, be a happen when you step out of your comfort zone – be a leader good competitor, and always be a leader no matter where you go. Go follow AIJCA on Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat and encourage others to do so alongside with you! 2. Competition – Sometimes in the midst of all the fun and to get updated on new rules and other great things in these fellowship we’re having, it’s easy to forget why we are really few weeks leading up to Junior Nationals! See you all at the at Junior Nationals in the first place – to compete and show Showdown in Cowtown! off our cattle! Whether your favorite contest is showmanship, 32

The numeric EPD value can change when performance records or DNA tests or both data items are added to the genetic evaluation. Information contributed to the periodic evaluations creates the potential for EPD change in a favorable or unfavorable direction, with an improvement in the reported accuracy. What if no DNA tests have been reported for nonparent animals? Table 3 illustrates the magnitude of accuracy reported with growth trait EPDs with no DNA test influence, but the calves’ contemporary weight records were submitted. In this case, the bene-

Yet, the value of genomic testing to improve the reliability of AICA EPDs is relevant, particularly for nonparent animals.
INTERIM EPD PROCEDURAL CHANGES
With the adoption of the AICA single-step genetic evaluation in late 2017, interim EPDs are no longer
CHAROLAIS JOURNAL
Genomic testing is readily accessible to Charolais breeders to enhance their genetic selection tools. calculated using the genomic data in the time in-between the scheduled AICA national cattle evaluation runs. Newly tested animals will have the genomic results incorporated into their EPDs only when processed through one of these national cattle evaluation updates. That said, pedigree estimates (PE designated in the accuracy box), as well as interims based on phenotypic records (e.g., weights, scans) in proper contemporary groups submitted by AICA members, will continue to generate interim EPDs prior to an upcoming national cattle evaluation.
DNA TECHNOLOGY AT A LOWER PRICE
Breeders need to continue to plan for their potential DNA testing to ensure that the genotyping results are completed at the lab and received by the AICA office prior to the national cattle evaluation data cutoff to be included as part of the results. Again, animals with performance data submitted in proper contemporary groups and passing edits will continue to receive interim EPDs as they have in the past.
Genomic testing is readily accessible to Charolais breeders to enhance their genetic selection tools. Accuracy benefits are measurable with the addition of genotypes into the AICA single-step genetic evaluations. The improvements in the AICA genetic evaluation system by moving to single-step methodology allows breeders to aggressively select for traits of economic relevance with more confidence.
Charolais breeders can access genomic testing at a more affordable price that allows wider use of testing across the herd. Through the cooperation of the AICA genomic service provider (Neogen/GeneSeek), the GGP BOV50K option is available for purchase, with the results incorporated into the AICA single-step genetic evaluation. This DNA testing includes parent verification. The NCE update produces the animal EPDs and corresponding accuracies as well as the TSI result.

Lee Ranch’s brand is more than a brand. It’s a reputation, earned each year by producing quality calves. And it starts with Vista vaccines. ®
“I think the biggest challenge on this ranch is preventing problems rather than fixing them,” says Jason Held, ranch manager. “Vista is really good insurance for us and the feed yard.” Only Vista vaccines offer the most complete, longest-lasting respiratory protection for your cattle — and one-dose fetal protection for your cow herd.1,2 Get reliable protection. Talk to your veterinarian about Vista vaccines.
