SYMBOLS EXPLAINED For each breed, the superior sires for weanling production, finishing and replacements are clearly labelled. These labels are our stamp of approval. WEANLING
The superior sires for weanling production are the sires that will deliver the highest value weanlings. Progeny of these sires have excellent weight and muscle development at the weaning stage. The sires recommended for weanling production in this catalogue rank highly for weaning weight and calf quality, at high reliabilities. They consistently produce numerous champions and top prices at weanling show and sales around the country.
FINISHING
The superior sires for finishing are the sires which will efficiently produce heavy, high grade, high value carcasses. The sires recommended for finishing in this catalogue rank highly for carcass weight and carcass conformation at high reliabilities PEDIGREE ROYALTY
A pedigree royalty fee applies to these sires at the time of registration of pedigree progeny. This is collected by the relevant breed society. No fee applies to commercial calves.
REPLACEMENT
The superior sires for replacements are those which will deliver solid, hard-working cows. Daughters have good milk, fertility, calving ability, temperament, are easily maintained and are functionally correct in order to last the long winters inside. The sires recommended in this catalogue for replacement are well proven. PROOF PENDING
These are bulls which are awaiting a calving survey

How to maximise the number of 4/5 star genotyped replacements from A.I. A.I. prior to 18/9/2018 for the 2020 requirement to have females born prior to 30/6/2019. A.I. prior to 18/9/2020 for the 2022 requirement to have females born prior to 30/6/2021. 1. Establish how many 4/5 star replacement heifers you need from your ‘BDGP Euro star Report’. 2. Breed for more than you need. If you need 7, breed for 10; cows have low reliability so their index is liable to change. 50% of the calves will be males. To get 7 heifers qualifying you will need 20 pregnancies. If you have surplus there will be a good market for them. 3. Mate your highest Replacement Index cows to a team of selected A.I. bulls.

4. Aim for a higher Replacement Index than the minimum requirement of €78. The maths would suggest that you should aim for €106.5 to ensure that you have an increased chance of meeting the minimum requirement of €78 post genotyping.
5. Select a team of bulls with a minimum team reliability of 85% as dam reliabilities tend to be low.

■ Vary the number of bulls on your team according to the reliability of the individual bulls; the greater the number of bulls on the team, the greater the team reliability. ■ Use low reliability bulls with caution. ■ Use A.I. to supplement your
Stockbull to ensure that your bull team has a reliability of 85%
■ High reliability A.I. bulls are the safest choice.
*The minimum bull index with a reliability of 85% when mated to the cow will, on average, produce a calf who,after genotyping, has a 70% chance of having an index value of greater than €78

Maximise success of AI in Heifers Ensure that heifers:
1. Meet the recommended target weights 2. Are on a rising plane of nutrition i.e. gaining weight a. Have received all of their vaccines 3 weeks prior to breeding 3. Have been dosed for parasites- Fluke & Worms prior to breeding 4. Are in a socially stable group; avoid mixing heifers from different groups during the breeding season 5. Have adequate space to allow mounting for heat detection; increased stocking density indoors reduces heat expression and more false heats will occur 6. Have suitable under-foot conditions; mounting activity and duration of mounting is reduced when under- foot conditions are slippery and when cattle are on concrete Recommended target weight at 14 months of age Target (KG)

Breed Target
Reaching the target weights ensures that: 1. The majority of heifers are cycling 2. Heifers are well developed at calving 3. Heifers are more likely to go in-calf within 60-80 days after calving.
Synchronisation of maiden heifers Benefits:
1. Reduces the number of days on heat detection 2. Makes heat detection easier as more heifers are on heat each day 3. Makes it easier to pick up repeats as more heifers are repeating together 4. Compact group for scanning 5. Compact group for calving allowing 1st calvers separate pens to cows 6. Compact group for management and sale. Synchronisation Programme for maidens DAY

1st-7th Dec
Day 1-7
A.I. heifers on observed heat. Should get 1/3 this week
7th-8th Dec
Day 7 or 8
Inject all heifers not bred with PG, usually 2/3 of them AI heifers on observed heat
9th -11th or 10th-12th 18th or 19th
Majority will be on heat 48-72 hours post injection, be extra vigilant at this time Day 18 or 19 Reinject PG to those heifers not bred. Should be very few
20th-22nd or 21st to 23rd
AI heifers on observed heat or 72 and 96 hours post the 2nd PG injection Watch for all repeats
HELP YOUR AI TECHNICIAN PROPER RESTARINT n Proper placement of the semen is a very speciďŹ c procedure and it is one of the main factors inuencing success rate. Just like in a
work shop where one uses a clamp or a vice for control to allow precision, it is crucial that the cow is properly restrained to maximise success. Proper restraint means that side to side and forward and backward movement are minimized.
n Concentration is required for precision n Avoid speaking with the technician as he is inseminating the cow as this will distract him from a very precise procedure
Safety n To ensure adequate restraint and the comfort and safety of man and beast, the crush should have a non-slip floor. n Avoid penning a suckler cow/heifer on her own for AI as she may become stressed and difficult to handle and inseminate
TIMING OF AI
46
n The best time to inseminate a cow is when she is in standing heat and up to twelve hours later. If it is longer than twelve hours after
the end of standing heat the results from A.I. will be reduced.
Maximise success of AI in Suckler cows
Oestrous Synchronisation and Fixed timed AI
1. Cow must have an easy calving. Match your cows to sires that they are capable of calving easily. Difficult calvings is one of the biggest causes of cows being slow to return to service. Heifers that are calving at 2 years need an exceptionally easy calving sire
1. All cows calved 35 days are A.I.’d on one day at a predetermined time without heat detection. You can decide which day to AI 2. Repeats will occur in close proximity, facilitating heat detection, you will know in advance when planning your 1st AI when the repeats will occur 3. Synchronisation resumes cyclicity in all non- cycling cows, this will increase the 3 and 6 week calving rate. It is possible to get 90% calved in 6 weeks 4. A compact group of cows can be presented for scanning. 5. Compact calf crop for ease of management and sale 6. Even though you will inseminate them in one day, they will calve over a two week period.
TO Achieve targets
2. Cows must cycle within 55 days of calving to achieve a calf per cow per year. Break the strong Maternal-
OFFspring bonding
This is a superb way of getting Autumn calvers and 1st calvers cycling. The easiest way to do this is to separate the calves from the cows from day 30 after calving, allowing them access for twice a day suckling only. For the autumn calving cows indoors, a door in the creep area to an outside paddock can be opened to allow the calves out to grass. The time to first heat will be reduced by 4 weeks. 80% of cows will exhibit a fertile heat by day 45, however, about 10% will not respond. These are often the cows in poor BCS. In addition to the cows cycling sooner, the calves are out most of the time resulting in reduced disease issues, less bedding used and heavier calves at weaning - A winner all around.
3.
Achieve high conception rates.
Achieving High Conception Rates
4.
Note: When heats are due in a group of cows indoors depending on the group size, it is best to lock the calves in the creep area to avoid injury to them. It is also prudent to take away the vasectomised bull at the time of maximum activity to avoid injury to him. Recommended synchronisation regime for beef cows 35+ days calved at time of treatment Day
a. Nutrition around breeding: avoid fluctuations in feed supply, keep cows on a rising plane of nutrition b. Extra feeding after calving will not compensate for poor BCS at calving, both are necessary c. Discuss a herd health strategy with your vet d. Ensure cows receive all vacinations 3 weeks prior to breeding e. Ensure cows are dosed for parasites- Fluke & Worms prior to breeding f. Ensure cows are in a socially stable group; avoid mixing cows from different groups during the breeding season especially 1st calved heifers f. Mineral supplementation is necessary to supplement the silage ingested Accurate & Efficient heat detection. i. Adequate space is necessary to allow mounting for heat detection; increased stocking density indoors reduces heat expression and more false heats will occur ii. Mounting activity and duration of mounting is reduced where under foot conditions are slippery and when cattle are on concrete

Day 9 (Wednesday)
Most heats expected. Inseminate all cows observed in heat. (i.e. cows observed in heat in the evening are inseminated the following morning and vice-versa).
Day 10 (Thursday)
Continue heat detection and inseminate cows observed in heat. Alternatively, inseminate all cows not observed in heat at 72 hours post CIDR or PRID removal and administer GnRH to these cows at time of insemination.
Nutrition and BCS
The higher the BCS at calving the quicker the cow will resume cycling post calving, a BCS of 2.5+ is ideal. Extra feeding after calving will not compensate for poor BCS at calving. Cows on poor BCS 1.75 will not cycle until 71+ days after calving while cows in good BCS 3.0+ will be cycling by day 55.

HEAT DETeCTION AIDS The Vasectomised Bull
A vasectomised bull fitted with a chin ball is the best method of heat detection for suckler cows and heifers.
Scratch cards Scratch cards are an excellent method of heat detection in both cows and heifers. ‘Estrus detect’ cards come in a roll of 100 with a can of ‘scotch weld glue’ Fig. 1
Pre-breeding
• • • • • • •
vasectomised bull is a valuable asset, when fitted with a A chinball, he will mark every cow he mates, this will allow you to pick up heats at feeding and routine herding times. The bull needs to be well grown and ideally similar in size or taller than the females to be detected, this is especially important indoors. Vasectomise the bull a minimum of eight weeks prior to he being required. Always fit him with a nose ring to allow easy application of the chinball. It is important, especially in young bulls, to pad the area around the back of the neck and around the nose band. Put the chinball on at least one week prior to the breeding season, without paint; this allows the bull to get used to the device and avoids wastage of paint. A fill of the chinball paint should last 15-20 heats depending on the bull.
Breeding

E nsure the chinball is snugly fitted to the bull (adjust them regularly especially in the first month of use). Watch carefully to make sure that the bull marks the backs of the cows he mates; ‘courting marks’ may appear on the cow’s side alerting you that she is coming on heat, wait until she shows a full heat. The mark after mating is shown in Fig. 7. This is your proof that she has been in heat. Avoid situations where the vasectomized bull may get hurt e.g. if you have a number of synchronized cows inside remove the bull overnight to avoid injury to him. Fig. 7
Crayons
Crayons work on the same principle as tail paint and are very convenient to use. However, the crayons rub off easier than tail paint, this makes them extremely useful for maiden heifers. They are convenient to apply; this can be done when cows/heifers are feeding. They come in boxes of 12 and in different colours. The tip of the crayon can form a film over it, this must be removed prior to rubbing the crayon on the cows. The easiest way to do this is by rubbing the crayon on a wall, to get rid of the film. Rub on the crayon to the rump in an area 9 inches by 1 inch. For maiden heifers come a little further down the tail Top up the crayon weekly.
48
Hair is needed for the glue to stick the scratch card, do not clip the hair, as is the practice when using tail paint and crayons On a dry day when the cows and heifers are dry, brush off any loose hair, dirt or dust from the rump area with a brush or comb. Spray the area of the rump where the card is to be applied
Fig. 2
Tear off the number of cards from the roll that you need and spray the back of the cards with the glue Fig. 3 Patience is required now; wait until the glue on the card is gone tacky before you put it on the rump.
When it is gone tacky it will stick to your glove; in warmer days it will go tacky quicker. Fig. 4 Apply the card to the sprayed area and rub it in well especially around the edges.
Fig. 5
When the cow or heifer is on heat the silver will get scratched off and reveal the colour of the card underneath e.g. In Fig. 6 the card was red. You can also get yellow and green cards. If there is a lot of activity, all the colour will get Fig. 6 scratched off and the surface of the card will be white. Renew the scratch cards as often as necessary usually if properly applied they will last 2-3 weeks. Renew them each time the day after the animal was in heat. You can apply the new one on top of the old one if the old one is still in place. Overall scratch cards work exceptionally well in both cows and heifers especially when they are outdoors. If the animals are dirty indoors you may get a layer of dung on the cards preventing them being scratched. In this scenario, crayons or a vasectomised bull work better.
