Board Commentary

Investing in Profit Potential

A good investment should pay dividends, right? I wish this were true 100% of the time, but I can tell you from personal experience that during the course of my life I have made a few less-than-desirable investments. At the time, when these investments were presented to me, they seemed like “no-brainers.” Looking back, I may have acted on them too quickly. Without proper research and consideration of all the moving pieces, those investments weren’t always as profitable as I would have hoped.

Each fall or spring, depending on their calving season, cattlemen across the nation are investing into the future success of their cattle operations by selecting replacement heifers to improve their herds through increased performance of future calf crops. Whether the investment includes retaining their own heifers or purchasing someone else’s, it is important to analyze all the moving pieces of their program. Prior to making that final sort, one should consider all available resources, production records and operating goals and select a set heifers that will align with the operation’s resources, goals and, ultimately, improve the bottom line.

The mindset of selecting heifers for the replacement pen is no different than the mindset many of us have each spring when it comes time to purchase our next bull(s). Keeping in mind that 50% of the investment, or the genetic improvement, of the calf crop comes from the dam, it is important to select females that will create genetic improvement in the herd, yet also align well within the operation.

Just like some of those less-than-desirable investments mentioned earlier, selecting the next set of replacements based solely on a single trait can lead to negative impacts on the cow herd. Single traits such as average daily gain or birthweight can lead to negative impacts on the cow herd such as an increase or decrease in mature cow size, or perhaps, eventually, a set of less-than-desirable cattle when they go to the rail. Gathering and analyzing the data on paper of all the prospective replacements in the pen prior to the visual appraisal can help make the selection of replacements align well with herd goals.

Once the replacements have been selected, it is crucial to develop those females in a manner that also aligns with the same basic goals and philosophies in mind. Nutritionally speaking, a set of replacement heifers needs to be developed on a well-balanced ration. Whether they are out on winter pasture or in a grow lot, a well-balanced ration ensures their success as productive and efficient cows in later years. It is suggested that at the time of breeding, heifers should be at 65% of their mature body weight and at the time of calving they should be at 80% of their mature body weight. Developing replacements to gain at a rate of approximately 2 pounds per day is optimal. If they are pushed too hard, there could be negative impacts on not only their conception rates at the time of breeding, but also on future milking ability by causing them to deposit fat into their udders during the time of mammary gland development.

Replacement heifers are an investment which can be profitable in the long run. To ensure success, remember to analyze all the moving pieces of the program prior to making the final cut in the pens. //

Association Commentary

Quantified Cattle: The Future of the Beef Business

Human beings need information to live and conduct business – cattle producers are no different. For example, they always want to know the performance-related attributes about equipment they are considering for purchase.

Why do they want to know? The short answer is that kind of information helps them understand how that piece of equipment will perform, and if it will satisfy their needs and work requirements. When plunking down hard-earned money to buy a loader, they would expect a great deal of performance-related information about that loader before the checkbook is opened.

The John Deere loader used as an example here is a highly “quantified” piece of machinery. In addition to the basic information provided below, John Deere provides specifications on 42 other characteristics, including torque, emissions, brakes, turning radius, wheelbase, fuel tank size and so on. Where did this information come from? The manufacturer measured and tested many different aspects of its product and can therefore provide potential buyers with all the information they need to assess the value of this loader and what it can do for them.

John Deere 444 P Mid-Size Wheel Loader

• Net Power: 92 kW (124 hp) at 2,100 rpm

• Operating Weight: 11,709 kg (25,814 lb.)

• Bucket Capacity: 1.9–3.4 m3 (2.5–4.5 cu. yd.)

Said again: This loader is a highly quantified piece of equipment and both buyer and seller benefit from that fact. The seller gets paid more for all the positive attributes that have been built into the loader. Buyers more fully understand its performance characteristics and can make a more informed purchasing decision. Both sides win because the product is:

1) Well quantified concerning its performance characteristics, and

2) The information related to those important product specifications is accurately communicated from manufacturer and prospective buyer.

Quantified Cattle

We may not think this example of a highly specified loader has much to do with the cattle business, but it does. The beef cattle industry is gradually moving toward a more quantified product at all market levels. In other words, our cattle are being quantified for more value-determining attributes all the time, as seen in the following examples:

• A group of bred heifers are pregnancy tested via ultrasound and verified pregnant before being sold (these heifers are now quantified for pregnancy status).

• A young bull is sold with third-party parental verification and genomically enhanced EPDs (his pedigree and genetics have been quantified).

• A group of six-weight feeder calves are presented to the market with a VAC 45

or VAC 60 program behind them (their vaccination and weaning background are quantified).

• Another group of feeder cattle are verified to be Natural and NHTC qualified (their history related to not being treated with antibiotics and growth-promoting hormones has been quantified).

You are probably starting to see the connection. Cattle that are quantified for important value-creating attributes tend to bring a premium on sale day. As reported by Drovers in December 2020, weaned calves are worth an average of about $50 per head more than unweaned calves. That dollar amount is according to data compiled from 393,600 calves sold through Superior Livestock Auction’s summer 2020 video sales. Cattle that sell “quantified” for weaning status will generally bring more money, so long as they’ve been weaned at least 45 days and this important information is communicated in their description when presented for sale.

Quantifying your cattle for as many important attributes as possible is beneficial. The general rule is “the more buyers know, the more they will pay.” However, there is one caveat to quantifying cattle: if cattle are measured or tested and the news is unfavorable (consider pregnancy testing heifers and finding a few opens), added value is not created for the animals that do not measure up. There are always fallout individuals, but the rest of the group typically does become more valuable.

The beef industry is still a long distance from having cattle as well-quantified as in our loader example. However, the trend is directionally the same. Quantified beef cattle are the future of the beef business. //

Marketing Update Risk Management Through Traceability

As the cattle market will soon be going through a new growth cycle, many cattlemen are seeking ways to mitigate risk for both their operation and their pocketbook. Disease traceability has become a hot topic of conversation over the past 10 years, as many producers are starting to realize the impacts of a disease outbreak in our country in light of the repercussions of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. With a disease outbreak in mind, the industry is working to educate producers on ways to handle risk management through a disease traceability lens.

We need to be clear on the risk of what would happen if a disease outbreak was to occur within our protein sector. Currently, a disease outbreak within the United States beef industry would virtually cease all trade, cattle movement and deplete market shares. With tight margins already existing in the beef industry, we can’t afford a widespread halt on domestic and international markets until containment measures are in place. Many industry stakeholders have been working with third-party and governmental agencies to find a voluntary animal identification and disease traceability system that would complement requests from ranchers and efficiently handle a disease outbreak.

One of the first steps producers can take to mitigate risk with disease traceability and add a layer of protection to their herds is to utilize RFID technology. Electronic identification allows ranchers to verify, through scanning records, if their cattle are involved in the disease outbreak. The Red Angus Association of America has long supported RFID technology for purposes such as record-keeping, marketing and the ever-growing concern in helping producers lessen the risk of their herd being shut down due to a lack of traceability.

Since the early 2010s, RAAA has been able to supply commercial customers enrolled in value-added programs with RFID technology. Red Angus producers who enroll can purchase Allflex USA or Datamars combination sets (EID + dangle tag) or EIDs-only in our Feeder Calf Certification Program or Allied Access program. Both 840 and stock EID options are available. However, staff strongly encourage enrollees to look towards the 840 EID option because this is an official source of animal identification through USDA that, with reliable movement records, can trace animals to their origin, thus adding a layer of insurance to their herd during a disease outbreak.

In 2021, RAAA opened the doors to identifying seedstock cattle through RFID technology. Producers can now utilize 840 EIDs as a means of identification in the registry – the same as a tattoo – but without actually tattooing the animal. Instead, the 840 EID is utilized in its place. Many Red Angus stakeholders are adopting this new advantage, as it allows them to embrace traceability standards in their herd while enhancing their record-keeping capabilities.

With an ever-growing demand for traceability within our industry, RAAA has found many ways to serve our stakeholders by involving management methods to mitigate the risk of a disease outbreak in our registry and value-added programs. For further information on RFID technology at RAAA, contact our value-added department at 940-477-4593 or tags@redangus.org. //

Contemporary Crash Course

You might wonder – why are contemporary groups important for your operation?

Contemporary groups allow for you to take environmental factors out of the equation for an animal’s difference. For example, is an animal’s weaning weight lower because of its genetics, or is it because it was a bottle calf? The contemporary grouping process allows for a bottle calf, for example, to be separated from the rest of the calves born during this time so that its weights do not rank against the others. Having all data submitted is important to see the full picture of the herd along with phenotypic metrics.

Contemporary groups are an important characteristic of data management. Knowing how to use contemporary groups can be a powerful tool for producers especially during sale season and when making management decisions.

A contemporary group is a group of animals that have had equal opportunity for growth and development. REDSPro will automatically split ani

DNA Policy Update

As of March 1, all SNPs brought into the Red Angus database for parentage verification will incur a $5 fee. This fee is only applied to SNP markers coming from third-party sources such as Neogen, Zoetis, etc. SNP markers being brought in from other breed associations are not considered third-party and will not have a fee associated.

SNPs released from RAAA to other entities will not have a fee for that service.

Genotype sharing (ex. Sending genomics from RAAA to Zoetis for $Profit) will continue to have a $1/genotype fee associated with that type of release. However, there are several other steps that RAAA members should do to make sure that the groupings are accurate. One of those would be to utilize the birth, weaning and yearling group fields. These fields allow animals to be split into different contemporary groups to show that they have been raised in separate pastures where environment and management is significantly different, identify animals that have gotten sick, or even animals that have been separated from the herd because they are being shown.

Another factor that is specific to data submission is submitting all of your calves in one job into REDSPro. If an animal must be registered separately and it should be grouped with the

crop to ensure they get the opportunity to ratio and rank against each other. In the instances where animals are owned by separate accounts but are managed together, you will also need to reach out to the Registration Department for regrouping options.

Contemporary grouping can be confusing and if assurance is needed for accuracy, reach out to Member Services regarding those animals or with any specific questions at data@redangus.org or 940-387-3502 Ext 1.

Seeing Both Sides

Over the past 15 years, genotyping has risen to the forefront of many conversations. Advancements in technology, and the incorporation of genomics into genetic evaluations, have created additional management decisions on when and which animals to genotype. As a producer, should genotyping the whole herd be the annual goal or is genotyping the sale bulls the best decision? Let’s chat about what benefits can come from various DNA testing as well as testing specific portions of the herd.

Parentage Testing

The basis for parentage testing comes from the idea of a parent giving a copy of an allele to the offspring. The application of parentage testing comes in handy to those producers who utilize multi-sire pastures or cleanup bulls after AI exposure. Furthermore, identifying the correct parents of a calf crop allows for more informative breeding and culling decisions. This is due to pinpointing the parents that are contributing the largest amount of genetic progress towards the producer’s breeding goals.

For example, let’s look at a single gene scenario of a calf with two potential sires in the chart below.

After evaluating the alleles for each parent and the offspring, the presence of the B allele in the calf had to be received from Sire 2, as that is the only parent with a B allele. Thus, the A allele in the calf was received from the dam. In this scenario, there is no possible way for a mating by Sire 1 and the dam to result in a B allele, thus excluding Sire 1 as a parent.

Yet, this can become more complicated when similar pedigrees are used within the same herd over multiple generations. In other words, referring to the single gene scenario above, think about what happens if a grandsire and son are utilized within a multiple sire pasture. These related sires are more likely to share the same alleles at multiple locations so identifying the correct sire of the calf may not be so clear cut. In this situation, having a dam sample on file is crucial to accurately identifying the correct sire of the calf, as this helps to more closely detect which alleles were passed by the dam and not a potential sire.

Genotyping Panels

As discussed with parentage testing, the same process occurs to identify parents of offspring when tested on a genotype panel, also known as, GGP-ULD, GGP-LD or GGPHD as described on the DNA testing form. The difference between parentage testing and genotypes is the number of markers that are utilized. For instance, a parentage test may only have 200 markers, while a GGP-ULD may have 30,000 and a GGP-LD has 100,000 markers. Essentially, the amount of information is much greater on the genotype panels, which allows for more comparisons to be made for finding possible parents.

With this said, the Red Cow Rally program is a great way to get started genotyping your female herd! This research collaboration between RAAA and Neogen was designed to increase genotypes on females, as well as phenotypic data collection, for traits such as mature weights and body condition scores. The program offers GGP-LD testing for a discounted rate of $22 compared to the regular $50 cost with additional rebates for phenotype submissions. This is available if certain requirements are met, such as testing 90% of the active female inventory, with a few other stipulations. Please contact the RAAA DNA Department at dna@ redangus.org for more information.

Ultimately, choosing which tests to utilize and which animals to test depends on your operation, especially as the net benefit of utilizing genotyping technologies is a function of the costs to implement the testing and the expected return in revenue. In the end, the goal is to increase the legitimacy of the current pedigrees in order to identify those genetically elite animals. //

Considerations for Raising Versus Purchasing Replacement Heifers

The ongoing drought widely affecting the U.S. Plains and western half of the country has drastically limited feed and forage supplies, subsequently increasing input costs and forcing many producers to liquidate some, or all of their cattle. As of mid-February, U.S. drought monitors indicated more than 41% of the lower 48 states were still affected by the lack of adequate moisture, and as a result, U.S. Department of Agriculture data shows the U.S. beef cow herd dropped to 28.9 million beef cows as of Jan. 1 – its lowest level since 1962.

According to a report by Lance Zimmerman, Rabo AgriFinance senior beef analyst, “meaningful progress in rebuilding the nation’s cow herd will not come until 2025 at the earliest,” meaning many of the initially needed replacement heifers are hitting the ground this spring.

Zimmerman’s report goes on to say “cow-calf producers will be tasked with building a more economically viable herd as outside demands on production agriculture intensify,” which should have some producers questioning their decision to raise or purchase the replacements necessary in the rebuilding process.

There are advantages to both buying and developing replacement heifers. Purchasing outside females allows a producer to continue adding maternal characteristics while using high-quality terminal sires in their herd. On the other hand, developing replacement heifers gives a producer more control over the genetics in the herd and allows them to retain females that best fit their environment.

The decision whether or not to raise replacements comes down to available management resources to properly select, wean, develop and calve replacement heifers and, of course, the economics – winter feed costs, opportunity cost of the heifer and breeding costs. Raising replacement heifers is widely acknowledged as one of the costliest activities, yet one of the most important investment activities for a cowcalf producer.

A good decision-making starting point is herd size. According to research from Jim McGrann, professor emeritus in the department of agricultural economics at Texas A&M University, if a producer owns fewer than 200 cows, purchasing bred heifers is usually a better economic alternative. To help producers understand the risks and opportunities associated with developing heifers in their own operations, TAMU has developed a replacement heifer budget (agecoext.tamu.edu/resources/decisionaids/beef/) that calculates total production costs and return on investment to evaluate production, breeding systems and pricing and marketing alternatives.

In his role as an Extension beef reproduction specialist with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Rick Funston, Ph.D., has extensively researched strategies to cost effectively develop replacement heifers. He said producers interested in raising their own replacements should consider employing a systems approach that utilizes feed resources heifers will be expected to consume as mature cows. He added that increased feed costs have negatively impacted heifer development protocols that rely heavily on harvested feeds.

Considerations for Raising Versus Purchasing Replacement Heifers

A 2018 multi-university study “Profitability of Developing Beef Heifers on Stockpiled Winter Forages” compared developing heifers on a low-input, forage-based system to a high-input, drylot system and the impact on profitability of the system over an 11-year lifespan.

When heifer replacement rate and cow costs were held constant across the heifer development systems and the breakeven period to pay off heifer development costs was estimated in years of age, heifers developed on a low-input, forage-based system became profitable at 3 to 4 years of age, whereas heifers developed in a drylot were 9 to 10 years of age before their investment cost was covered.

“Lower-input systems allow producers to develop replacement heifers at lower cost without sacrificing reproductive performance,” Funston said.

Furthermore, while traditional recommendations suggest heifers should be managed to reach 65% of their mature body weight at breeding to maximize pregnancy rate, Funston’s research and studies from other universities have shown that heifers can be developed to just 50-57% of their mature weight at breeding without impairing reproductive performance.

“Developing replacement heifers to lower target weights –

but still on a positive plane of nutrition prior to the breeding season and through calving – can still yield acceptable pregnancy rates and longevity,” he explained.

Once the decision to raise replacement heifers has been made, Funston said record-keeping becomes critical to proper selection. For example, research indicates heifers born in the first 21 days of the calving season have a higher pregnancy rate, breed back earlier and wean a heavier calf, yet they are often culled because they tend to be larger than some of their contemporaries.

“I think we should be cautious in culling larger heifers that are born early and out of a moderate cow,” he said. “Many producers will say they cull the big end and the lighter end and keep those that fall in the middle, but if those heifers are bigger just because they’re older, I think that’s a mistake.”

Additional research shows that if a heifer initially conceives in her first cycle, she has greater longevity in the herd, and by the time she weans her sixth calf, she will have weaned the equivalent of another calf because of age effect on weaning weight. Funston also said that contrary to common industry practice, there’s not adequate data indicating culling heifers out of older cows is necessary.

“Longevity is a hard thing to measure, but those older cows

have shown you that they can exist in your environment,” he said. “We call reproduction lowly heritable because we’re measuring one event one time of year, but if we put it all together with the number of calves a cow has and when she’s calved each year, we probably directly select better for longevity.”

Funston pointed to research by Jim Gosey, Ph.D., beef specialist and professor emeritus at UNL, which suggests the following criteria for removing heifers from the replacement pool:

• born late in the calving season (after the first 45 days)

• from cows that needed assistance at calving

• born to dams that have big teats or need help getting their calves to nurse

• exceptionally small at weaning

• nervous or have an attitude problem

Stocker Ranch

On the Stocker Ranch near Dillon, Montana, manager Larry Hochhalter has increased the operation’s herd size from 110 to 220 commercial Red Angus cows over the past five years using a combination of retained replacements and purchased cows. He selects his 25-40 replacements based on phenotype and approximate calving date, and he leaves the heifers on the cows as long as possible before weaning. Replacements are fed through the winter and then artificially inseminated in late May to calve at the end of March.

As a mid-size ranch operator, Hochhalter has questioned the time, labor and expense of raising replacement heifers but said the decision to do so has ultimately come down to the quality of the females he’s been able to add back to the herd each year.

“We like our cows and we’ve paid special attention to the bulls we’ve purchased the past few years, so we like the genetics we’re getting,” he said. “We realize there are a lot of nice females for sale every year – and we’re not afraid to purchase outside cows in times of expansion – but our own heifers are often much more suited to this environment, and we can be selective in deciding which ones we retain.”

Maddux Cattle Co.

Considerations for Raising Versus Purchasing Replacement Heifers

every cow before she’s 6 years old to minimize depreciation expense, so we have a very high replacement rate and end up breeding almost every heifer, whether to keep or to sell.”

The operation is located on a combination of sandhills and irrigated farm ground, which gives them a “competitive advantage” as their nearly 2,300 cows graze native range in the summer, corn stalks in the winter and receive very little supplementation throughout the year. Heifer calves stay at their mother’s side through the winter, are weaned at 11 months and then developed on a fairly low-input, low-cost system, receiving only about 30 to 40 days of feed before going back to grass for the breeding season.

“I think it’s easy to put too many groceries into replacements. We have a very high conception rate in our heifers that are about 55% of mature weight when we breed them,” he said. “If you can run those heifers like you would a yearling, you don’t really have much more cost in your opens than you do over your breds.”

Maddux said in addition to low inputs, another key to profitability in the cattle business is high fertility, and he is a big believer in only keeping those heifers and cows that conceive early in the breeding season. He uses ultrasound to identify and retain the heifers that conceived in the first cycle, while heifers conceiving in the second cycle are sold.

“This allows us to improve fertility – not genetically, but statistically – because we don’t have those late-calving heifers and cows that don’t return to heat and don’t get bred the following year.

“Reproduction efficiency is extremely important to our bottom line, so it’s important for us to keep our own heifers so we have the luxury of being able to only save those that conceive early in the breeding season.” //

Stop and Smell the Roses

Producing cattle can often be a source of stress and heartache. When it feels like everything is going your way, something is bound to happen to ruin your day. For example, a bull runs through the fence, a cow loses her calf or a tractor gets stuck. It’s in times like these when, although it may seem impractical, we need to step back and smell the roses … or in this case, cattle manure.

It is entirely possible to overlook the simple pleasures of cattle production when calamity strikes. As producers, we devote our focus to getting through breeding season, calving season, drought, winter, etc., and often forget the simple joys of raising cattle. As you read this, I challenge each of you to take a minute and think about the first cow you bought. Think about the pride and sense of accomplishment you felt. No doubt you could only dream about the future and could hardly wait to see what impact this beloved heifer would have on you and

your ranch. From this vantage point, that one heifer may seem insignificant, but at that time she was your entire world. There was nothing you wouldn’t do for her. You might sneak her extra feed, heavily bed her calving stall or bundle up to stay with her all night as she was calving. It may seem juvenile from a more mature perspective, but this was a time when things made sense and your heart was full of joy and peace.

Junior members have the privilege to live this reality every day. While we may not have as many things to worry about (such as paying bills), we can still soak up the simple pleasures that our cattle bring to our lives. For example, the year you got to show your very own heifer, you immediately felt a sense of pride. You simply couldn’t believe that you had your very own heifer to show. The fact that she stood dead last in her class at the county fair didn’t deter your pride or enthusiasm in the least. This is the same passion

that drives cattle producers to continue raising cattle.

These feelings of accomplishment, joy and motivation shouldn’t – and probably never do – stop for most producers. Each year, once we finally get through the stressful periods, we need to endeavor to recall the simple joys within our industry. It is important that we take time to remember why we raise cattle, and be cognizant of the privilege that is ours, even during the most stressful of times. These pleasures can seem to serve as a light at the end of the tunnel.

Lastly, take time to enjoy the things that originally captivated your heart. Turn the tractor off and watch the month-old calves run laps around the pasture. Go find your old show heifer or favorite cow in the pasture, take her a treat and give her a good back scratch. Don’t get so busy trying to make a living that you miss out on life. So, stop and smell the roses. //

Buy High Cow Fertility Bulls

Retain Your Highest $Ranch & $Profit Cows

Make More Calves & More Money!

How it works: Zoetis analyzes the 1.4 million animals in the $Profit database. Based on how many calves a bull’s daughters have, they predict a Fertility EPD. Higher Fertility EPD bulls produce daughters that will wean a higher percentage calf crop over their lifetime.

NO SINGLE TRAIT IMPACTS YOUR BOTTOM LINE MORE THAN THE CALF CROP PERCENTAGE WEANED –THAT’S FERTILITY!

“It’s

Our cows bred up 94% and our 2-year-olds bred up 90% – all in a year with 3" less than normal rain. Plus, our calves weaned 30 pounds heavier.

We’ve been using high $Ranch and high Fertility bulls – Our cows are getting better and our calves are improving in the feedlot.”

Building Demand for Value-Added Red Angus Cattle

When it’s time to sell your Red Angus calves, you want to get the most for your investment. Participating in a value-added program may seem like a lot of extra work, but the additional dollars received for cattle enrolled in those programs makes it worth the minimal investment of time and documentation.

Options for Adding Value

The Red Angus Association of America created the Feeder Calf Certification Program, commonly known as the “yellow tag program” in 1995. The program consists of three components: genetic, age and source verification. Cattle should be traceable to at least 50% Red Angus bloodlines, according to Chessie Mitchell, assistant director of value-added programs.

The Allied Access program, a sister program to the FCCP, launched in 2012 to promote crossbreeding using Red Angus females and bulls of other breeds. In this program, cattle are only age and source verified. The Allied Access program is also a USDA process-verified program.

The Premium Red Baldy program is a partnership between Red Angus and Hereford. The program is for commercial beef producers who want to take advantage of hybrid vigor. Similarly, RAAA also offers the American Red value-added program for crossbred Red Angus and Santa Gertrudis cattle with a heat-tolerant red hide.

The value these programs bring to cattle producers is instrumental, Mitchell said. Traceability on age, source and breed verification is critical for attaining valuable premiums. Having cattle enrolled in third-party programs allows for producers to advertise a more consistent group of cattle that verify many of the key components that buyers are looking for in the marketplace, which translates to premiums for producers.

One Call Does It All

IMI Global, a division of Where Food Comes From, Inc., saw a need in the beef industry 25 years ago to add value while ensuring traceability was at the forefront of it all, and they have continuously worked to fulfill that need. Most recently, the organization worked with the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef to develop a framework for a sustainability platform, CARE Certified, which is centered around three pillars: animal care, environmental stewardship, and people and community. Since launching in 2020, CARE Certified has enrolled more than 800 ranchers and backgrounders, representing 30 different states and 850,000 head of cattle, according to Doug Stanton, vice-president of sales & business development for IMI Global.

CARE Certified promotes practices that RAAA stands behind, such as proper animal care and handling practices and promoting beef within the community. Most importantly, CARE Certified is rancher friendly, attested Mitchell.

The animal care pillar encompasses much of the tenets from Beef Quality Assurance training. Producers must have a current BQA certification, and their efforts around herd health, antibiotic stewardship and cattle transportation are assessed. BQA certification is easy and free to obtain online and is valid for three years.

“Animals should be treated as needed if they get sick,” Stanton said. “One thing that’s unique about the CARE Certified program is that beef producers are allowed to utilize technologies, such as implants and ionophores.”

The environmental stewardship pillar of the program focuses on having a grazing management plan and seeking ways to reduce waste and improve efficiency. The people and community pillar emphasizes beef producer stories, show-

cases their philanthropic efforts and highlights how they positively engage with the community.

“If customers are already doing a lot of those things, then they won’t have to change their processes to fit the CARE Certified program,” Mitchell explained. “Many producers are already keeping herd health plans, abiding by proper antibiotic stewardship, utilizing a grazing management plan, implementing worker safety practices and have an emergency preparedness and succession plan in place.”

As most beef producers know, consumers are demanding more of their protein, such as knowing where it was sourced and that it was raised sustainably and used good animal husbandry practices.

“Third-party programs like CARE Certified create transparency from the pasture to the plate and allow millennial consumers to feel like they have a vested interest in the protein on their plate,” Mitchell explained.

To begin enrollment in CARE Certified, simply call RAAA to get started. After the initial phone call with RAAA, you’ll be assigned an IMI Global Account Manager. They will contact you to conduct a phone interview and then an independent contract auditor will come out to your ranch to validate the

FCCP enrolled cattle only pay $1.00 per head enrollment fee along with the CARE audit fee plus travel expenses.

“Cattle must be tagged with an EID,” Stanton said, “but they don’t have to be castrated or weaned by a certain age. The program looks at what they’re doing in their environment and if it makes sense.

“A lot of the time, instead of requiring a new way to do

mally planning for the future.” Stanton added. “It’s all about continuous improvement.”

CARE Certified is reviewed annually by a beef expert committee that makes science-based recommendations grounded in beef industry trends. Those recommendations are taken to a producer advisory committee for review before any official changes are made to the standard.

Other Options for Adding Value

If beef producers want to take the additional step of raising cattle that are non-hormone treated, Stanton said those cattle can be enrolled in the NHTC or Verified Natural Beef programs. NHTC allows cattle to be eligible for export to the European Union.

“When beef producers bundle several claims, when they go to the marketplace, they can market those cattle to different buyers that are looking for those verification claims based on the contracts they have with different packing plants,” Stanton said.

More packing plants, food brands and retailers are looking to build sustainability-based supply chains for beef products.

Heinen’s, an upscale, family-owned grocery chain with 23

Certified for both its pork and beef brands. The chain also procures poultry products from a long-time customer who is also CARE Certified, according to Stanton.

“A simple Google search will show you how in demand climate-smart and sustainable branded beef is becoming. Since launching CARE Certified in 2020, several large retailers and brands have announced their internal sustainability goals. CARE Certified is a way they can meet that demand in a verifiable and traceable way.” Stanton said. “Because of this, there’s definitely a demand for CARE Certified cattle

Field Testing Red Angus EPDs

Both EPD believers and skeptics will gain perspective from the simple genetic evaluation project discussed below. Read it and draw your own conclusions.

Testing Red Angus EPDs

In the fall of 2020, Top Dollar Angus initiated a field study with Mike John of Huntsville, Missouri. A group of John Ranch black baldy females were randomly mated to one of three Red Angus sires via artificial insemination. One sire is a high-ranking growth and carcass sire, the other two sires rank much lower for growth and carcass traits. Twenty-six calves resulted from this effort.

All calves were raised together – same environment and management – from their birth in the fall of 2021 through harvest on Feb. 14, 2023. At approximately 9 months old, they were shipped from Missouri to a Nebraska feedlot and fed for 230 days. After that, the entire group was transported to a Kansas packing plant. Difficult feeding weather extended finishing time required in the feedlot. However, their genetic differences still came shining through in the end.

More About the Sires

The high-growth and carcass Red Angus sire ranks in the top 2% of the breed for Yearling Weight and the top 1% for Carcass Weight EPD. He also has a top 2% Marbling EPD and a top 4% EPD for Ribeye Area. He is elite for these traits and is therefore expected to sire high-performing feeder cattle. His GridMaster percentile rank is also in the top 1% of the breed. This sire easily qualifies for Top Dollar Angus.

The other two sires average in the bottom 11% and 12% for Yearling Weight and Carcass Weight EPDs, respectively. Their Marbling EPDs average in the bottom 26% of the Red Angus breed. For Ribeye, they are in the bottom 41%. Their average GridMaster percentile ranks fall in the lowest 7% of the breed.

Large genetic differences are observed between the two sire groups, which is how the project was designed. When small head counts are involved, it is easier to illustrate how genetic merit expresses itself through phenotypic outcomes when those genetic differences are big to at the start.

Results

Progeny of the high-growth and carcass sire did exactly what they were genetically designed to do, as shown in the accompanying table. Superior performance was noted throughout their lifetimes, with a final carcass weight advantage of 92 pounds per head (equivalent to 148 pounds of live weight).

Calves by the low-growth and carcass genetic bulls grew slower, weighed less at harvest and also had lower marbling scores and smaller ribeyes. There was no difference in fat end point between the two sire groups.

Genetics to Dollars

Average carcass value favored the high-growth and carcass sire’s progeny by $267.64 per head (+13.7%), proving again that genetics have a tremendous impact on phenotypic performance and financial outcomes when tested in real-world conditions.

Based on the three sires’ DMI EPDs, it is estimated that the better genetic calves consumed $72.96 per head in additional feed while in the feedlot. After subtracting that amount, their net financial advantage was $194.98 per animal when compared to the lower-genetic-merit calves. Keep in mind that this large value difference was created in a single generation. That’s the power of superior genetics on display!

Summary

The Top Dollar Angus-qualified sire used in this project produced calves that exhibited better feeding performance, more carcass weight, higher quality grades, larger ribeyes and a ton of additional value per head.

Simple as it is, this field test illustrates how Red Angus EPDs and $Indexes can be utilized to create cattle with superior value and do so with ease.

Red Angus Interns Selected to Aid in Association Business

Red Angus is excited to welcome two interns to assist with summer operations, projects, sales and shows.

Kenedy DeVoe, of Justin, Texas, will be serving the Red Angus Association of America as the commercial marketing team summer intern. She will be engaged in herd visits and conducting field audits as required for the breed’s Feeder Calf Certification Program.

“Red Angus is excited to have Kenedy on board. Her livestock and Red Angus experience make her a great fit to visit with ranchers about our marketing programs,” said Harold Bertz, director of commercial marketing.

DeVoe grew up on her family’s cattle seedstock operation and was heavily involved in Texas FFA, serving in many leadership roles.

She also spent many years in 4-H showing livestock in both state and national livestock shows and competing on the livestock judging team. The latter earned her a scholarship to Redlands Community College in El Reno, Oklahoma, where she is a freshman.

DeVoe is also involved as an agricultural ambassador and the Aggie Club at Redlands. After graduation, she plans to transfer to Kansas State University and pursue her Bachelor of Science in animal science. She also plans to earn a master’s and Ph.D. in beef cattle genomics in the future.

DeVoe will be responsible for scheduling audits for the Feeder Calf Certification Program to satisfy USDA requirements for participating ranches.

She will be primarily calling on farmers, ranchers and feedlots throughout Texas and Oklahoma, and assisting the Red Angus marketing team with other commercial marketing activities as needed.

She will also attend summer video sales promoting Red Angus value-added programs and talking to producers about marketing options.

Red Angus Interns Selected to Aid in Association Business

Amy Wampler, of Abinton, Pennsylvania, will be assisting the communications department this summer with multimedia projects, graphic design, social media and editorial production for RAAA publications.

“We are excited to welcome Amy to our team for the summer. She brings experience and enthusiasm, which are tremendously valuable in the world of communications and public relations,” said Brandi Buzzard Frobose, RAAA director of communications.

Wampler grew up showing livestock in 4-H and that experience translated well into her undergraduate career at The Pennsylvania State University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in animal sciences.

While at Penn State, Wampler was very involved in Agriculture Future of America, Collegiate Cattlewomen and the agricultural marketing team.

After graduation, she transferred to Oklahoma State University where she is a master’s student in agricultural communications.

Her future plans are to work on a communications or marketing team

in the beef industry and find ways to help create opportunities for youth in agriculture.

Wampler brings diverse experience to the team through her past internships with Trans Ova Genetics, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, Hormel Foods and Penn State Extension.

“I feel extremely lucky to have the opportunity to learn from the Red Angus communications team this summer,” said Wampler.

“I know that this hands-on learning experience will equip me with the skills I need to succeed in my career,” she concluded. //
