2012…The summer to remember, or maybe forget. It has been a summer that many of us will never forget…intense and relentless wind, unending triple digit temperatures that seared our livelihoods and our souls, sapping the determined spirit of agricultural producers (for cattlemen and crop producers alike). When we did see storm clouds gather, often they brought only dry lightening and subsequent fires, or damaging hail. Even with one of the warmest 12 month eras on record, the only casualty for our Association activities was our Annual tour. The participants, in an extremely close vote, chose to not hold the tour this year even though they knew the tour would move onto the Northeast region of Nebraska in 2013, if it wasn’t held in 2012. While it was an extremely emotional and difficult decision, it turned out to be the correct call as three fairly large fires scorched portions of the tour area in late August, just two weeks prior to the scheduled tour date. My heartfelt thanks goes out to my board of directors for their guidance on this issue. A decision to cancel an activity such as the tour not only affects those members participating on the tour, it affects the Association as a whole. Despite this year’s drought, exhibits at this year’s State Fair were up nearly 10% from a year ago, and our tent at Husker Harvest Days was full (eight exhibitors) for the first time since my employment as Secretary/Manager began in 2008. Again the weather affected Husker Harvest Days as wind was a factor in the enjoyment of the exhibitors on Monday (setup day) and the first two days of the exhibit. In fact, the dry summer coupled with the strong Northeast winds on the second day of the event filled a portion of our tent with corn husks and dirt (not just dust) from the field North of our exhibit. From the comments of exhibitors who have been at this
event for many, many years, this was the first time that the exhibit closed early due to weather. We continue to plan for the upcoming year. Our Annual meeting and banquet is scheduled for December 1, 2012 at the Holiday Inn in Kearney. Please check our website for updates on hotel reservation deadlines and a schedule for that day. Also check our website for changes to our sale calendar as some members have cancelled or postponed sale dates due to dry conditions, while others have moved their sale date for various reasons. Also, check out the products of our Industry advertisers in this issue. Some are offering year-end or drought specials on their products. These advertisers provide critical support of our operations and our Association. They have invested in our organization, let’s invest in their future. A * behind the company indicates a new business in this issue. Industry advertisers in this issue are: Accelerated Genetics, Ag & Industrial Equipment, Behlen Mfg., Larson Metal*, Lienemann Management Production*, Mix 30*, Ritchey Livestock ID*, and Vitalix. What did we learn about ourselves this summer? We learned to care more for our neighbors as we assisted each other battle huge grass and forest fires in several different regions of our state, help them find needed hay or pasture, or assisted in hauling water to livestock. We learned that each of us will make the necessary decisions to survive this year’s drought, and we learned that we must continue to pray for needed moisture that will replenish our way of life and renew our hearts. If we do not receive much moisture this winter or next spring… well I don’t even care to think about the choices we’ll have to make in 2013. Let’s keep praying for that moisture. Until next time...

supply. I hate to see our feed bill this winter. Luckily, cattle prices are holding strong. In September we attended Husker Harvest Days. We had a great turn out for 3 days. Hot the first day, blew away the 2nd day, and then a beautiful last day. Eight full pens of Angus cattle! Set up time was a breeze with all the extra help. Nice to have a lot of younger people getting involved in the Angus business, but we would be lost without the crucial expertise of “Dutch” Dethlefs to guide us. While at HHD we spoke with the first organizers of the NAA display many years ago. The farm show at that time didn’t think livestock needed to be included. Boy did our association help prove them wrong. It is amazing how things have changed. Take a tour of the Northwest area of HHD’s sometime and see all the tremendous livestock displays. It even amazes me to see how all the other breeds have changed. They are now “BLACK” and add the term “ANGUS” to their name. Even they know where GOOD BEEF comes from!

Hello Angus friends, It has been a hot dry summer and hopefully fall will leave all of Nebraska in a better condition. There has been a lot going on for the Angus Juniors this summer. We had our summer state preview show in June. It was hosted by the Craig Dethlefs and Todd Hasenhauer families in North Platte. It was a great show and we thank these two families for stepping forward to host. While in North Platte we elected new officers: 1st Vice President Michaela Clowser; 2nd Vice President Maci Lienemann; Historian Caylie Egger; Secretary Treasurer Aliesha Dethlefs; Directors Taylon Lienemann , Cheyann Lovett , and Jenny Keyes; and myself Jud Hoffschneider President. Heather and Allan Smith were elected to serve a three year term as advisors. We appreciate all of the hard work, dedication and guidance from our outgoing advisors; Stephanie and Craig Schafer. The officer team is looking forward to a productive year. July found many of us in
Louisville Kentucky at the National Junior Angus Show. Michaela Clowser and I were chosen as voting delegates to elect the new Junior board of directors. This year we also had a candidate running for the Junior board ,Melissa Keyes. We were well represented in the various shows and contests. As we returned, we wished we could have brought back some of the rain Louisville received during our stay. This fall will slow down some for Angus Juniors, with the start of school. We had a meeting at the Nebraska State Fair in Grand Island. It was great to see all of the Juniors and see some good Angus Cattle. We decided at the meeting in Grand Island that the State Junior Angus Show next summer will be at the Gage County Fair Grounds in Beatrice, Nebraska hosted by the Lieneman and Clowser families. Blocks of rooms have been reserved at the following motels: Holiday Inn Express 402-228-7000 and New Victorian Inn and Suites aka Caprice 402-228-8808. The blocks will be held until the 30th of April, 2013. There is also a block of rooms held for the National Jr. Angus show in Kansas City at the Comfort Suites Speedway Hotel 913299-4466. Our next meeting will be December 1st in Kearney at Winter Preview. Sincerely,
Jud Hoffschneider

His six grandchildren brought him much enjoyment. They all enjoyed rides in the tractor or combine with papa. He enjoyed working at the Fairbury Sale Barn and driving a silage truck.

Crossbred Bull ‘Fix’ American Angus Association
posites (F1) offered on an annual basis. “A lot of people we sent F1 bulls to were very disappointed because of gene segregation and what was being transmitted from each parent,” he says. “Some progeny of these bulls really favored traits of one breed and some favored traits of the other, some looked Angus and some looked Continental. You ended up with a set of calves that were not only visually different, but a lot different in terms of outcome and how you needed to manage them.” Geneticist Bob Weaber, Kansas State University, says that’s partly because what works on average for the whole calf crop varies among individuals. That may shift the balance of traits toward one breed or the other. “Even though the F2s [composite progeny] have half of their genetic material from each breed on average, some repairing of chromosomes from the same breed occurs,” he says. “When we make an F2 we see a decrease in heterosis, because on average one-half of the animals’ chromosomes consist of pairings from the same breed of founder.” Data from the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) suggests that the progeny from matings of F1 parents are no more variable than either of their purebred founder breeds for traits like weaning weight or yearling weight. However, for traits controlled by a single gene, these progeny are noticeably less consistent than the F1 parents, especially if the founder
breeders were very divergent, Weaber says. Speer says that makes it hard to measure how much productivity they should add to the herd: “In many instances composite bulls actually represent backcrossing and may reduce heterosis potential versus using a breed that serves as a total outcross.” From a seedstock producer’s perspective, it can be much more difficult to create a reliable composite compared to a purebred bull. “I have 27 years of objective breeding decisions that harness the power of the AAA [American Angus Association] database,” says Brian McCulloh, Viroqua, Wis. The registered breeder, who makes 350 of those decisions each spring, says the predictive power is strengthened by the broad use of artificial insemination (AI) by Association members, who submit within-herd data that ties all animals together. “Simply put, I am not comfortable ‘experimenting’ with data from other breeds to create a composite bull for our commercial customers. I have more confidence predicting the outcome of our pure line Angus bulls,” he says. The Angus database updates weekly with more than 20 million performance measures and 17 million pedigrees. That data volume explains why, after dabbling in the composite market to try offering
Composites may trade predictability for simplicity.
A good crossbreeding program takes some background in genetics, a big enough herd and land base, good bull suppliers and time to figure all that out. Producers looking for a simpler route to heterosis often opt to use a composite bull. “In order for a crossbreeding operation to maximize heterosis, it takes a lot of different pasture, a lot of management, which because of size and time a lot of people can’t devote to it,” says Jarold Callahan, president of Express Ranches, Yukon, Okla. “You basically have to have different herds within your herd.” So the composite bull market was born, where breeding stock is billed as already having that built-in hybrid vigor. “Implementing crossbreeding can be somewhat daunting,” says Nevil Speer, Western Kentucky University animal scientist. “Many operations would rather forgo such effort if production can be maintained while also ensuring relative absence of problems. As a result, producers are often encouraged to utilize composite bulls as a simplified means to boost heterosis and subsequent production.” But Callahan says it’s not always a “quick fix.” Express has sold hundreds of Limousin-Angus crosses over the years, but recently decreased the number of com-

customers an outcross, McCulloh abruptly stopped. Using the MARC across-breed EPD (expected progeny difference) adjustment factors help in comparing data, Callahan says. “But there is still a little bit of an unknown as to where that animal is going to come out. “The purebred cattle evaluations give you better insight in terms of predictability of individuals and their offspring,” he says. Genomically-enhanced EPDs hone that ability. “You can make more progress – because you have greater access to performance information – than you can in most crossbreeding operations, unless they’re extremely well designed.” To date, the DNA technology can only effectively sort out straightbred populations, he adds. “That precludes it from being useful in composites and crossbreds,” Callahan says. When selecting hybrids, commercial producers may face another challenge: “There’s an increasing need to purchase bulls in volume that provide both uniformity of calf crop and deliver on the various traits of interest,” Speer says. “Commercial bull buyers have access to larger sale offerings when shopping for Angus bulls compared to other breeds.” Purchasing siblings in bulk is routine. “That opportunity doesn’t exist when considering composite bulls,” he says. Callahan doesn’t dispute the advantages of genetic diversity, but says he’s concerned with those who are “crossbreeding just for the sake of crossbreeding.” His typical composite customer is in a terminal program, purchasing rather than raising replacement heifers. Otherwise, many have switched back to straightbreds. “They really enjoy the uniformity of their calf crop and the predictability in their genetics,” he says. There are no shortcuts to that.
