Knowledge is Power! Progressive Ataxia in Charolais cattle

There has recently been a small but notable spike in reported cases of Progressive Ataxia in Charolais cattle, which has led the AICA to re-evaluate the significance of the disease to the Charolais breed. Progressive Ataxia (PA) causes a loss of coordination starting in the rear legs, generally affecting young cattle. The disease progresses over a period of weeks to months until cattle are unable to stand without assistance. The incidence of this mutation in the Charolais breed has been traced back to an influential sire born in 1964. Palmer et. al., described this disorder in the United Kingdom in 1975. The pattern Palmer described was consistent with a recessive trait. Each parent had to be a carrier of an abnormal gene variant for their progeny to be affected by PA. Cases recognized in the United States were infrequent during the ensuing four decades. A 2018 French paper, published in PLOS-Genetics, describes the responsible allele variant. The AICA had this peer review study further evaluated by multiple independent geneticists and each concurred the study is credible and provides strong evidence the mutant variant is responsible for disease development.

Progressive ataxia is an autosomal recessive trait. This means for an animal to be affected, or to express the phenotype, they must be carrying two copies of the variant. The UC-Davis

age. This late onset in a portion of cattle is why some genetically affected cattle were in the 100K chip screening.

Charolais cattle who are PA carriers; possess one copy of the variant but they will not be affected by it. Since PA affected cattle are rarely used for breeding purposes, most cattle who are PA affected are produced when two PA carriers are mated. When two carriers are mated, approximately 25% of their offspring will be PA affected (AA), 50% will be PA carriers (NA) and 25% will be PA free (NN). The Punnett square to the right represents the

Genetics Lab reports animal genotype for PA as normal - NN, Carrier - NA, or homozygous for the variant - AA. The AICA will note animals to be progressive ataxia free - PAF, progressive ataxia carrier - PAC, or progressive ataxia affected - PAA. Since July 1, 2020, Neogen has tested over 11,000 Charolais animals with the 100K test which includes a determination of the PA status of an animal. Eighty-four percent of these animals tested Progressive Ataxia Free. A little over fifteen percent of these Charolais cattle tested as Progressive Ataxia Carriers. Less than 1 percent (0.64 %) of the 11,000 Charolais tested at Neogen were Progressive Ataxia Affected (meaning they are homozygous for the variant and will present symptoms if retained). PAA cattle generally begin to exhibit symptoms from 6 to 36 months-of-

offspring produced from mating two PA carriers:

If PA carriers are mated to Charolais cattle who are PA free, approximately half of the resulting progeny will be PA carriers

and half will be PA free.

If a Charolais breeder uses only Charolais bulls who are PA free – none of the resulting calf crop will be PA affected and at least half of the calf crop will be PA free depending on the percentage of the cows who are PA carriers. Assuming the cowherd in question follows a normal distribution, then approximately 84% of the cows will be PA free and all the calves from these PAF cows will be PA free because the sires used by the breeder were all PA free. Assuming the other 16% of the cowherd are PA carriers, then half of the calves produced from these cows and the PA free sires will be PA free and half will be PA carriers. Assuming this Charolais breeder has 100 pregnant cows, then 92 of the resulting calves will be PA free and 8 will

is power”! The more you know about the PA status of your herd,

more effectively you can use PA carrier animals without producing PA affected offspring or increasing the amount of PA carriers in your herd.

indicates AIJCA

The AICA is the official registry for Charolais and Charbray cattle in the United States. Charolais cattle were first brought to the U.S. in 1936. In 1957, the American Charolais Breeders Association and the International Charolais Breeders Association merged forming the present AICA. Membership in the AICA is obtainable when the applicant has ownership in at least one animal, and has paid the initial membership fee of $125. AICA annual dues are $100.

Reminders will be mailed in November. Active members – $100; junior member – $25. Junior member Charolais Journal subscriptions are an additional $25. Be sure to update all contact information including e-mails and websites. If dues are not renewed for 2023, online passwords will not work.

New ONLINE Lab Results

New online lab results! View your lab results with one click. Under the “herd” tab, click into “My Lab”. Your DNA tested animals will be listed there. Click the “view” button to see details on each animal. You can also download the results in an Excel file by using the “Lab Test Results Export” under the “tools” tab.

Expedited Registration Work

If an animal needs to be registered with in a day or two a rush fee of $50 ($100 non members) will be added to work. Once the animal is registered you can pull it up online to view the registration number. The new certificate will be mailed out the following day. We also offer FedEx mailing for additional $50.

Enter Weight Data Online.

Log in with your breeder number and password.

Hold your cursor on the “my performance” tab. Members with enrolled females can enter weaning and yearling weights from the animal list. We offer both individual entry and list entry. Make sure each calf has a record by using the “calving” button. Udder and Teat scores can be added in the “calving” section. Dam Docility score and Body Condition score can be added at Weaning. Contact AICA if you have questions.

Export Your Data for Sale Catalogs

Under the “tools” tab, you will find a new “Data Export” button. This data export gives you the flexibility to export data on animals in your herd and use those data files in your own management packages. You can download and save the files directly to your computer in a CSV (can be opened in Excel) format. There are many options within this feature including selecting the type of animal to export and specific data.

Performance Deadline Approaching

Performance data must be submitted to the AICA office by December 1 to be included in the January 2023 Genetic Analysis. Please make sure calf data, weights and weigh data have been submitted online or on forms to AICA.

ONLINE TIPS

Transfers cannot be done on-line if the paper has already been issued. The original paper must be returned to AICA. Animals registered on-line can be held in the system for transfer or print later. Many members find it helpful to hold all the newly registered animals in the system. No need to chase papers around.

When using a non-Charolais parent, follow the example given on the entry screen. For a non-Charolais female type FNF-XXXX, for a non-Charolais male type FNM-XXXX. You may also use breed codes to indicate the breed of the non-Charolais animal but be sure to use 4 digits (example: FNM-ANAN). We can add the pedigree of your other breed animal but need a copy of the pedigree 1st. The fee to add a pedigree is $20. Be sure to click the “register” box and the “save” button at the bottom of the registration screen if you want the animal registered. The registration number will pop up in the middle of the screen or you’ll get an error message telling you what boxes you have missed.

AICA DNA Requirements

AI Sires used “out of herd” and all Donor Dams must be DNA tested before calves can be registered. AICA recommends collecting DNA samples during the donor’s initial flush. Check the animal’s record to make sure the DNA work has been done before submitting registration papers. DNA kits are specific to the animal being tested. Contact Marilou Wegner to request a kit. AICA rules require signatures on bulls and dams you do not own. Signatures can be submitted online, fax, mail or e-mail.

Managing Progressive Ataxia of Charolais Cattle Registered in the AICA

Preamble

A purpose of the American-International Charolais Association (AICA) is to provide improvement in the breeding of Charolais cattle. The AICA Board of Directors is charged with managing the affairs of the AICA and adopting comprehensive Rules and Regulations consistent with the AICA’s purpose. Recognizing that Progressive Ataxia is a confirmed genetic variant present in the Charolais breed, we are proposing the Board of Directors adopt the following Rules and Regulations concerning Progressive Ataxia, the communication of testing results, the publication of information about the variant, and management of Progressive Ataxia within the Charolais breed: If other genetic variants are discovered in the future they will be handled in a similar manner.

1. AICA staff and genetic consultants should prepare a fact sheet/page on the website on Progressive Ataxia (PA) for AICA members that is easy to understand. This would include information on testing strategies and recommendations.

2. AICA intends to test all current A.I. sires who have sired a calf born after 1/1/2019; as well as the top 100 sires in the breed (based on the number of registered progeny) to assist the AICA membership in minimizing the financial testing burden for this genetic condition (variant). The association asks for membership cooperation in soliciting the necessary DNA samples to promote this activity. Results will be posted as genetic condition (variant) statuses become available.

Genetic condition (variant) status will be defined as follows: PAF – free; an animal has been tested free of the genetic variant, PAC – carrier; an animal has been tested and is carrying one copy of the variant, PAA – affected; an animal has been tested and is carrying two copies of the variant, or PAP – potential; an animal has not been tested but has the potential to carry the variant.

3. Registration status will not be affected by test results. AICA recommends members undertake judicious breeding and testing to minimize the frequency of this variant in the population. No animals will be eliminated from the herd book due to PA status. PAF, PAC, PAA, and PAP animals are eligible for registration. This aligns with Beef Improvement Federation Guidelines on Genetic Conditions https://guidelines.beefimprovement.org/index.php/Recessive_Genetic_Defects.

4. AICA members will be able to access an interactive tool to generate a report of owned animals and their PA status based on PA test results received to date. This tool can be found by logging into your AICA member portal and navigating to the individual animal screen, then click on lab results. Individual PA status will be available on both owned and non-owned animals.

5. After the initial round of PA testing on A.I. sires with an available DNA sample is complete, potential carrier status on descendants will also be simultaneously released via the AICA member web portal. Members may receive a printed copy of PA status upon request.

6. All animals nominated for the National Charolais Sale need to be DNA tested for PA regardless of status. All picks-of-the-herd are subject to PA testing results.

7. A.I. sires and donor dams, born on or after January 1, 2020, are required to be tested for PA status before progeny can be registered within the AICA herd book. Progeny can be registered regardless of sire or dam PA test results.

Adopted by the AICA Board of Directors, October 20, 2022

Weston Schrader, Vice President Grateful for Charolais

gratitude and being thankful

Hello! My name is Weston Schrader, and I am from Wells, KS, where my family raises Charolais and SimAngus seedstock genetics. We have an annual spring bull sale, as well as market fall bulls and show heifer and steer prospects via private treaty to youth across the Midwest. Currently, I serve as your 2022-23 AIJCA Vice President & Area 3 Director, and this is my third year on the Junior Board. I am a freshman at Kansas State University, majoring in Animal Science with interests in beef cattle nutrition or genetics.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Even though showing gratitude and being ‘thankful’ should be a year-round behavior, Thanksgiving is a great reminder of all the blessings in our lives. Personally, I am thankful for many things, the most important being my faith, family, and friends. Additionally, I cherish and appreciate the

to many and will continue to help our breed move in the right direction. His unique ability to connect with both adults and kids of all ages makes him personable and approachable. Kaitlyn Chism, Director of Youth Activities, continues to inspire youth to lead and give back to our Junior Association as an AIJCA Junior Board Director. She, among many other beef industry leaders, served as role models and AIJCA Directors themselves. She is enthusiastic and pushes you to be better every single day. Finally, we are beyond thankful for the guidance of our AICA V.P. of Operations, David Hobbs, who has been a longtime advocate for our breed. It takes people like this to inspire excitement and growth for the future. We are blessed and grateful to learn from them and many others within the Charolais breed.

The same individual also complements our youth and the culture of our junior program. “Not

opportunities in my life. As I finished my youth show career this fall with the Kansas State Fair and the Kansas Junior Livestock Show, I reflected on my growth as a person, teammate, and leader. Although my time in the 4-H ring is over, I am excited to continue helping my sister and others raise and exhibit livestock. Words cannot describe my gratitude for my parents, peers, and mentors over the last several years.

On top of all that, I am thankful to be involved with Charolais. In between the heifer show and showmanship at the Kansas Junior Livestock Show, I was approached by an individual with a few questions about our Charolais Association. What started as ‘small talk’ quickly turned into a deep conversation about each of our breeds and the beef industry as a whole. This individual operates a prominent Western Kansas feedyard and is very complimentary of the progress, culture, and excitement around the Charolais breed.

Our conversation about the progress of our breed involved many people, especially these individuals:

Dr. Clint Rusk, Executive Vice President, is “the right person at the right time” according

only do we exhibit the best of quality, representing our breed at a high level, but we have a realworld understanding of the beef industry.” This is humbling and exciting. Our juniors have a wide variety of backgrounds from commercial feedyards to seedstock bull production, making for a diverse group of young leaders. Our youth’s competitiveness, competence, and diligence is displayed through events like public speaking, interview & resume, team sales, team fitting, cook-off, talent, and many more. It is a pleasure to walk through the barn and visit with all of the other juniors.

Like many Charolais enthusiasts, being a part of this respected breed is something near and dear to my heart. I am so thankful for all of the opportunities through the AIJCA. I am so blessed to lead and mentor the youth of our breed, but also to have had positive role models to look up to myself. We, as an entire, undivided breed, are moving in the right direction. It is an exciting time to be involved in Charolais. That is truly something to be thankful for.

be PA carriers. If this breeding program continues, then each year the rancher should produce half as many carrier calves as they did the previous year.

According to Dr. David Steffen, DVM at the University of Nebraska, “there are reasons to consider using PA carriers knowing you can test the resulting offspring to capture superior quality traits that may exist. A Charolais breeder can capture these traits from high value sires or cows and continue those traits within the offspring who test PA free. The literature indicates PA carrier status is linked with superior muscling. Thus, these animals may have a high value to an informed and careful breeding program.” As I mentioned before, a PA carrier sire mated to a PA free cow or heifer will produce half PA free progeny and half PA carrier progeny. Under this mating scheme, a PA carrier sire could be bred to a donor cow who is PA free with hopes that half of the resulting ET calves will be PA free and the chances of producing outstanding PA free sons and daughters of an elite PA carrier sire are very good. PA carrier bulls are also excellent candidates for use as natural service sires or as A.I. sires for commercial herds when crossed with virtually any other breed, including Angus, Beefmaster, Brahman, Hereford, Red Angus, Santa Gertrudis, or Shorthorn cows. Likewise, PA carrier bulls can be used in a beef on dairy program to add value to the progeny of Holstein and Jersey cows.

On the cow side, PA carrier cows can be bred to PA free bulls

as previously mentioned and half of the resulting progeny will be PA free. This principal is the same for PA carrier cows who are used as donor cows and bred to PA free sires. PA carrier cows can also be used as recipient cows in herds who utilize embryo transplanting. The PA status of the recipient dam will not affect the PA status of her ET calf. PA carrier cows can also be mated to bulls of other breeds and the resulting progeny should be PA free if there is no Charolais breeding in the background of the sire being bred to the PA carrier cow. For example, PA carrier Charolais cows and heifers can be bred to Red Angus bulls and the buckskin progeny should be PA free.

I hope these examples of ways to utilize PA carrier sires and dams is helpful as you consider ways to incorporate their outstanding genetics in a well informed and careful breeding program. As the old adage says, “knowledge is power”! The more you know about the PA status of your herd, the more effectively you can use PA carrier animals without producing PA affected offspring or increasing the amount of PA carriers in your herd. In other words, DNA testing can allow you to preserve and pass on the positive traits of a bull or cow without ever producing a PA affected animal.

TAKING YOUR SEEDSTOCK BUSINESS ACROSS THE FINISH LINE

Achievements in the seedstock world are measured by outcomes. One of these outcomes is the successful selling of genetics, often through a production sale. A sale with a dollar average to be proud of or topping the year prior is a consistent goal for seedstock suppliers. However, achieving this goal does not come easily.

It’s easy to sell the good ones; the cattle industry’s oldtimers will tell you but not easy to make them. Years and years of focus, hard work, research, and lessons learned are all ingredients to create quality genetics. Genetics may focus on carcass value or maternal qualities varying from herd to herd and breed to breed. Striving to be the best is not uncommon. Getting there can be a long and windy road. Once you get there, it’s not easy either. As the saying goes, ‘it’s harder to stay on top than to get on top.’

Three industry professionals who have worked with hundreds of seedstock producers to sell, promote and market seedstock cattle and genetics shared their insight and what contributes to the stability and sustainability of a seedstock producer.

Great Genetics

“The only two things seedstock producers offer to their customers is genetic improvement (or the perception of such) and service,” says Marty Ropp, CEO of Allied Genetics Resources, Normal, Illinois. Ropp and his team assist in selling nearly 10,000 bulls annually for over 80 producers across five breeds and specialize in assisting with commercial customer services. Genetics and service are the two value propositions Ropp finds are crucial to the survivability of seedstock suppliers.

“The definition of ‘great genetics’ is not always the same from one producer to another, but a logical presentation of genetic value to improve something is constant,” he says. Ropp, who has been involved in seedstock industry marketing for 35 years, believes a solid genetic roadmap and a business plan are also essential, especially in the professional climate of today’s customer and industry.

Planning should influence decisions. “The mating decisions a seedstock producer makes this year will ultimately affect their customer’s profitability directly for the next 20 or more years. By the time your customers have ten-year-old daughters out of bulls or females genetically made by their seedstock supplier, it will be 2035.

By B. Lynn Gordon

While short-term success is more appealing, a longer view is needed. The average business life of a registered seedstock producer is still well under ten years, explains Ropp. He says, “Part of that short-lived historical tradition is a legacy of smoke and mirrors promotion that still takes place today. Yet, the truly long-lived and successful programs in our business lean on facts and the understanding that their customer’s and their customer’s accomplishments will give them the best chance of being successful.”

Superior Service

Seeing and marketing more seedstock cattle than many folks ever will in their lifetime, veteran Hereford cattle marketer Art Handel, Rapid City, South Dakota knows that genetics get the bull buyer to the ranch. Still, its customer service that keeps them coming back. For over 57 years, Handel has conducted ring service at over 5,000 sales, made endless herd visits as a breed association field representative, owned his own livestock marketing company, Handel Marketing, and exhibited at the industry’s biggest livestock shows.

“The customer is always right,” says Handel. He notes that a seedstock producer needs to follow through with a breeding guarantee; customer satisfaction is the toppriority. Handel has witnessed seedstock breeders load up their own herd sire in the middle of the breeding season, and drive hundreds of miles to deliver a bull when the customer’s original purchase failed. “That’s how you build a following; your customers believe in your guarantee.”

As cattle marketing becomes less reliant on sale day viewing or ranch visits and cattle are marketed and promoted via social media, customer service and trust take on even more importance. Advanced services are also changing, says Handel. “With fuel and freight expenses rampant, breeders need to step up to the plate to help their commercial customers market feeder cattle or groups of bred heifers.”

“The breeders I see as successful are those who take the time to build relationships with their customers and listen to their customers’ needs. Handel tells seedstock producers, “you can never underestimate your impact on a customer’s business. Even established seedstock producers must continue asking tough questions to stay viable.”

Ropp agrees that offering advanced service to customers has grown and taken hold. “There are almost

no ‘proprietary genetics in this business, so just about anyone can sell a son of bull X or a daughter of bull Y. Thus, to set oneself apart from others, advanced services have become a bigger piece of the pie.”

Reputation Business

While offering quality genetics and implementing top-notch customer service add value to seedstock operation, what carries a business over the finish line is its reputation and ability to market a product, separating one business from another. “This is true no matter what business you are in,” says Ropp. Expressing one’s reputation through their product is what Rachel Cutrer, owner of Ranch House Designs, works with seedstock producers to accomplish. Cutrer’s, Warton, Texas-based livestock industry marketing company believes seedstock producers should follow the same principle large corporations do when marketing their products – they need to build a brand.

“Everything has a brand, an image and a story – you just have to build it.” She explains that by telling the story of who they are and what they represent, they build their seedstock business brand in their customers’ eyes. As a seedstock producer, building a brand begins with the product you offer accentuated by the services you provide. But in today’s competitive marketplace, it extends further. It means understanding your customer base and aggressively working on getting the word out about your story and what you represent. Insight into customer objectives helps to shape marketing plans and reinforce the foundational message.

“It is becoming even more crucial that people think favorably when they see your brand.” This favorability

resonates with your target audience by building trust and demonstrating integrity. Cutrer outlines three key areas of responsibility to consider when building a brand:

a) Product Responsibility – Do you take your role in the seedstock industry seriously and continue to be a lifelong learner and adopter of practices that impact the viability of your customers? Would people associate your brand with high-quality seedstock genetics? Do you have a vision for the future or plan for your operation to represent financial and business sustainability? Do you promote your longevity or growth in the seedstock industry?

b) Social Responsibility – Are you active in your community and support the future of agriculture (4-H, junior associations, etc.,) and industry-related organizations? Do the groups/organizations you participate in reflect your beliefs and that of your customers? How would employees describe working for you and your business practices?

c) Ethical Responsibility – Do customers share stories of you standing behind your cattle when a situation arises? Is what you say your genetics are, backed up with records, DNA? Do you follow through with your commitments, promises, and payments? Do customers follow your business because you are respected and trusted in the industry? Is the price your cattle sell for representing their value, or is it inflated?

These three beef cattle marketing experts understand things will continue to change over time, but how you conduct your business provides the best opportunity to succeed. Offering quality genetics and building value supported with a reputation of integrity will excite customers to own your product and solidify longevity for you and your business.
