Welcome to our 2016 bull catalogue, It has been a very busy year in the cattle industry for HCH Genetics. In 2016 we welcomed a new member to our team, Ben Coad. Ben is an experienced AI technician and has been working in Tasmania. Ben’s skill, work ethic and personality have been an instant hit with clients and we are looking forward to the expansion of HCH Genetics with Ben’s help. HCH Genetics are excited to now be able to offer embryo transfer. Dale has been training with Australia’s leading embryo transfer veterinarian and is achieving excellent preg rates. Last year we spent a great week at Rockhampton Beef 2015, meeting new friends and catching up with old ones, all who are involved in our great industry. In July and August 2015 we spent three weeks in the USA visiting many new and interesting operations as well as all or our current partners and friends. This year’s USA trip saw us visit 15 states and travel thousands of miles by road and air in one of our most extensive tours yet undertaken. We have once again introduced a range of new bulls to freshen up our line up with a consistent emphasis on phenotype and structure. HCH Genetics are introducing a new line of mineral licks. These licks are aimed to achieve optimum preg rates as well as assist in the growth, development and health of the overall herd. Good luck to everyone for the upcoming season and we hope we can provide something of interest. Please feel free to contact Dale with any questions and be sure to visit our web site and follow us on Facebook for the most up to date information on bulls and their progeny.

Early Weaning With evidence pointing towards a dry year cattle breeders would be wise to consider early weaning. There has been a healthy level of research into the effects of early weaning on cow calf performance and the effect on overall profitability. Evidence suggests that it is a more profitable system regardless of the season, however it does require careful, skillful management. Traditionally calves are weaned at seven to eight months of age. Early weaning has been investigated extensively at ages as early as three months of age and even a few studies younger than this. The main advantages of weaning at an early age is the decrease in overall energy required to feed the cow calf unit. Early weaning allows the calf to be fed a specialised, high quality ration without wasting it on the cow. Feed of this quality is more expensive, but the feed conversion efficiency of young cattle is excellent which compensates for this extra cost to some degree depending on the concentrate used. Mature cows can be turned out on rough feed or fed lower quality forage and will still manage to gain weght in time for calving the following year as their energy requirements drop dramatically when they are not supporting a calf (Rasby). If we are facing a year of low forage availability and potentially the need to feed poorer quality forage, this can be of real benefit. Early weaning prior to joining has been shown to have quite dramatic effects on overall profitability of a cow calf operation (Tathum et al). Weaning prior to joining has been shown to improve pregnancy rates, reduce overall feed costs and has also demonstrated improved feed conversion efficiency in early weaned calves, thus earlier finishing times. We all know that the main driver for profitability for a breeding operation is pregnancy rates. The other quite significant advantage to an early weaning system is the ability to increase cow numbers. A study by Tatham, weaning calves at 3 months of age, showed a decreased dse per cow from 15 to 13, allowing for a sizable increase in cow numbers. It seems too good to be true. It is and it isn’t. The potential gains are real, but the management needed is more complex and the margin for error larger. Once the calves are off the cows, management for the cows becomes easier, but obviously more labour intensive for the calves. Calves need to be introduced to a high energy diet over about 2 weeks ideally when they still have access to their dams. Diets should be dry (Larson) with free choice good quality forage at all times and a grain based concentrate with high protein levels and supplemental minerals. Once on the diet they will thrive as long as calves have constant access to high quality forage and concentrate feeding is regular, either with limited lick feeders, feeding a set amount on a daily basis, or using a feed regulator. The concentrate that is selected is very important and it is always a good idea to seek advice on your choice. Concentrates fed should be low in fibre, high in protein, be palatable, buffered and minerals should be provided. Using a buffer such as Acid Buf is a great idea. Acid Buf is available through HCH Genetics and is a highly palatable, effective and long lasting rumen buffer. It would also be worth considering the addition of a pro biotic such as Diamond V Yeast. Yeast products included in calf diets have shown improved growth rates, but a more marked effect on reduced illness, both in numbers ill, mortality and fewer sick days overall. Our qualified cattle nutritionist is available to take you through the whole process and help you set up a management plan. You can call with any questions on 0429 795 468.

HCH Genetics Loose Lick Minerals
and Nutrition
Unlike traditional licks that provide little more than treat value to cattle, loose licks provide minerals in a highly available form. Our Loose Lick specifications are designed to suit the Australian environment concentrating on minerals such as Magnesium, Sodium, copper, selenium and zinc. As we improve our farming practices and increase the rate of pasture growth we often impact on mineral balance. As pastures improve in their productivity the level of such minerals as potassium increase dramatically; This impacts on cattle’s ability to absorb magnesium and increases the risk of grass tetany. HCH Genetics range of weather proof mineral licks can provide the necessary vitamins and minerals to prevent imbalance and get your cattle achieving optimum performance.

Calcium: Why is it so important? Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body with most of it being found in the skeleton. However, its function throughout the rest of the body is varied, vital and luckily usually well regulated within the body. As cattle producers we can run into difficulties if calcium levels are too low long term, particularly for our young stock and after calving when lactation requirements for calcium increase markedly. The good news is supplementary calcium is cheap and easy to supply. Calcium is needed for bone, tooth, hair and hoof formation and maintenance, correct nerve and muscle function (including when calving) and blood clotting. It is a component of many enzymes, vital for cellular function and is also necessary for milk production. Needless to say it is an important mineral. Luckily for cattle producers, providing supplemental calcium is not only easy, it’s cheap. There’s something you don’t often hear. Being such an abundant mineral in the body, it is also required in large amounts in the diet. Many licks do not provide enough calcium and in fact this is also the case with many premixed mineral pellets that can be added to concentrate rations. This is because as soon as the correct amount of supplemental calcium is added, the dose rate goes up markedly and so does the price. Most cattle producers are better off providing macro minerals such as calcium, sodium, phosphorus and magnesium to the diet, blended as a loose lick. Other vitamins and minerals can be offered in the typical premixed blends or licks. It is particularly important to consider supplementing cattle with calcium • when they are young • when they are old • at calving time and for at least six weeks after calving • when feeding a diet high in concentrates • when feeding a diet high in fat or vegetable oils Diets low in forage, high in concentrates and/or fats and oils can reduce the availability of calcium. Due to the fact that calcium is inexpensive, it is worthwhile to have it available to all classes of stock all year round. One of the most available and cost effective sources of calcium is limestone. Limestone provides cattle with a palatable, available source of calcium; in fact calcium supplied in this form can be more available than calcium found in forage. Forage calcium is commonly found in high proportions in its indigestible oxylate form. Cattle producers can mix their own calcium lick easily and safely simply by adding between 5 to 10kg of limestone to a bag of course salt and leaving this mixture out as a lick. HCH Genetics have a macro mineral blend available for purchase pre-made as a loose lick for those who like the convenient option. This lick is devoid of filler so the cattle are only being offered the minerals they need. It is designed as an inexpensive option to provide cattle with their macro mineral requirements.

LT Patriot was the high-selling bull in the 2015 LindskovThiel Ranch Bull Sale at $105,000. To date, he is perhaps the most complete Ledger son produced at Lindskov-Thiel. His dam is double-bred to LT Silver Distance 5342, a female maker and a former AICA Multiple Trait and Milk Trait leader. From his strong head to extra width behind, Patriot offers breed-leading quality. LT Ledger 0332 P

Acid Buf conditions the rumen and allows it to work more efficiently. Acid Buf is manufactured from calcareous marine algae, which is harvested from clean, unpolluted waters off the coasts of Ireland and Iceland. It is a highly effective rumen buffer and pure source of bio-available minerals deposited within its structure by the sea, especially calcium and magnesium. Acid Buf is an ideal buffer to use when supplementing beef cattle especially for early weaned calves and young stock in a potentially dry year. Acid Buf is available for purchase through HCH Genetics. Give Jacqui a call to ask any questions or to place an order 0429 795 468 or highcountryheifers@bigpond.com.
