Mark Beckman, President, Australian Brangus Cattle Association Ltd

President’s Report I would like to commence my Presidents Report by welcoming all Members old and new as well as every Brangus enthusiast and supporters to the 2019 Autumn edition of “The Australian Brangus” magazine. It certainly is disheartening to know that a large proportion of our Brangus membership have been subjected to the perils of Old Mother Nature. From droughts to flooding rains, bushfires, supercells and dust storms. Let’s just hope that winter will be a little more forgiving. On behalf of the Australian Brangus Cattle Association Board of Directors, I wish to express to those members that have been severely affected by these conditions that they are being remembered in our thoughts and prayers. The 2018 Management committee elections fielded five nominations for Federal Representatives and for the first time in the history of Brangus all five nominees were female. This resulted in a ballot which wasn’t to be counted as Tammy Robinson withdrew her nomination due to personal reasons. I wish to thank Tammy for her contribution to the ABCA over her previous two year term and wish her well in the future. Megan Hansen returned to the Board along with new Directors Amanda Salisbury, Sue Fawcett and Lucy Roche. I am truly humbled that my fellow Directors unanimously supported my re-election as President for my third term and although the position has become rather demanding I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The highs and lows of the ABCA for 2018 are quite numerous and will be reported throughout the magazine so I will not steal the editorial thunder and allow you to read the full articles with interest. The membership numbers for the ABCA remain stationary and there has been a slight decrease in registrations due to the effects of the prolonged drought. Despite this the ABCA is still in a sound financial position and the Board have started pre-planning budgets for future Brangus events including Beef 2021 and a future World Brangus Congress. In early February the Board of Directors convened in Toowoomba for a two day conference to discuss the breeds direction, regulations, Genomics, BreedPLAN and marketing, and budget strategies. A number of key outcomes came from this conference including the Boards approval to update our outdated website. Work will start on the website build shortly and will hopefully be completed within the advised time frames. Planning is also underway to host a number of information sessions to workshop the Future Direction of Brangus with genomics and BreedPLAN. The Board is hopeful to have sample kits and information available for distribution at sales and field days in 2019. The committee has approved the upgrading of ILR2 system to accommodate a genomic database to store all Brangus genomic data. I have also made a request on behalf of the ABCA to ABRI to secure the services of Tessa Pearson as our full time registrar which will enable us to have a full time person answering the dedicated Brangus phone line. In conclusion I encourage all members to provide feedback to your Board of Directors, either personally or email direct to the committee, which may assist in advancing our breed and acquiring more of our market share for all Brangus producers. Kind regards,

Autumn – 2019

“The quality of bulls at the Rockhampton sale has improved year on year and inspires us to push harder for excellence in the cattle we present. Magnum is a truly outstanding bull and was no fluke. He is a full brother to ET siblings that topped our Beef 2018 sale as well as at Roma. EBVs and scan data was at the top of the breed at the sale. He is a strikingly attractive bull with everything going for him. It was pleasing he was purchased by Fleetwood Grobler and we’re thrilled to see Fleetwood and Margaret putting together a world-class herd of Brangus cattle.” 6

John Thomas, Executive Officer, Australian Brangus Cattle Association Ltd

The Executive Paper Dear Members, I have now been Executive Officer for the Association for twelve months and have enjoyed every minute of it. Members should be extremely proud of the Brangus breed, which would have to be one of, if not the fastest growing breed of cattle in Australia, and this says a great deal about the breed of cattle being produced by you. The past twelve months, and in fact, the past few years, have been extremely difficult for many breeders with one of the longest and most severe droughts ever recorded, and recently with the devastating floods in Northern Queensland, these have resulted in a great deal of hardship and heartache for many of you. We hope and pray that the next twelve months will bring about a change of fortune, for the better for all our Members, as well as all those farmers who have been affected. Your current Board of Directors are dedicated to the Brangus Breed, and in particular to ensuring the Members have the infrastructure in place to assist them to develop their studs and also explore ways to keep the Breed relevant and up to date with the latest technologies available to achieve this. More and more buyers are relying on such things as the EBV’s produced by BreedPlan when selecting animals. I therefore encourage more Members to join BreedPlan to use those EBV’s as one more tool for selling their animals. At the most recent Board Meeting a new website was approved and will hopefully be up and running shortly. Members are encouraged to visit the site when it comes on-line and use it to advertise, your studs and sales where possible. Many of you will be aware that we have a new Registrar, Tessa Pearson, who came on Board a few months ago, and I am happy to be able to confirm that the Board has requested that she be appointed full time, five days a week, exclusively for the Brangus Association. Those who have dealt with Tessa will know how efficient and knowledgeable she is, so this development will be a great boost to the service for Members. Kind regards,

Lucy Roche

Susan Fawcett

Amanda Salisbury

Lucy founded her Dynamite prefix in 2012. Her foundation selections were sourced from the ABCA Roma Sale and other outlets such as, Boonderoo, the Bunya Creek Dispersal Sale, Cedar Valley Brangus and the Glenoyra herds.

Susan has been involved in the breed for the majority of her life. She’s been exhibiting and promoting the breed since the early 1970’s with her parents, John and Wendy Fawcett who owned the Coreen Stud.

Amanda and husband Mark operate the Bimbadeen Stud, on ‘Upson Downs’, outside Monto, Queensland.

Lucy’s herd now involves some 20 registered Brangus breeders and is run in conjunction with Myown Angus, which now numbers around 30 registered females. Both herds are Breedplan recorded herds and her Dynamite herd of Brangus females are run on a lease block at Widgee, outside Gympie with her weaners, bulls and show females all run at home on the Gympie country. In a short space of time, the Dynamite prefix has shown and sold cattle in sales such as the ABCA Rockhampton Sale, Beef expos and has also taken out the coveted Grand Champion Bull at the Brisbane Royal. 18

Autumn – 2019

In the 1980’s she prepared show cattle for both the Greendale and Bimbadeen prefixes, attending all major shows including breed features and the inaugural Beef expo, Beef ‘88. Sue, along with Ruth Thomas formally of the Greendale Stud, were appointed to the Brangus committee in 1987. Both ladies were the first women appointed to the Management Committee. Sue continues her commitment and passion to all things Brangus by operating her own prefix, the Condamine based, Lazy S Stud. In the past few years her and her cattle have had and enjoyed considerable success in both the sale and show rings.

The Bimbadeen prefix, established in 1965 is now Australia’s oldest Brangus stud. The couple breed both red and black Brangus. Amanda (nee Burnham) grew up on ‘Upson Downs’ and spent all her formative years helping muster, process and market Bimbadeen cattle with her family. After a career as a media adviser and photojournalists Amanda returned home in 2006 and with her husband Mark and children Jack and Sarah, where they have taken over the running of Bimbadeen Brangus. The operation and family stages an annual on-property sale.

mOOvement equips thousands of cows with GPS ear tags Recently a new GPS ear tag was released onto the market. mOOvement is a new innovation developed by a Brisbane firm that helps producers track their cattle. After successfully running pilot programmes in Australia, mOOvement is now accepting commercial orders for their new batch arriving in July/ August. These pilot programmes involved thousands of cattle sourced from dozens of producers equipped with the mOOvement GPS Ear tags in Queensland and New South Wales. The GPS sensor allows producers to track their cattle over long distances, even in remote areas. A built-in solar panel secures an ear tag with a long lifetime. By collecting GPS data on cows, producers can easily track their cattle at any given moment during the day. It is mostly used by producers getting a clean muster. Mustering as we all know is labour and cost intensive. Also, because of timber, it is sometimes hard to locate cattle when using traditional methods and also helicopters. Knowing the exact location of high-value bulls, pregnant cows, weaners and other cattle makes it much more convenient and helps to get clean musters easier and faster. Another powerful mOOvement application is receiving notifications when cattle jump fences. Producers get instant notifications when cattle are in the wrong paddock or have escaped the property. The producer can act accordingly to prevent loss of cattle or mixed up breeding plans. On the map, the producer can also see where their fence is broken, so they know exactly where repairs are needed thus saving hours inspecting fences throughout the year. The mOOvement GPS ear tag measures the location of an animal over time to be able to send a health alert when animals have stopped moving. Animals not moving could 28

indicate that they could be sick, injured, calving, or bogged or drowning. Involvement of beef producers Tracking animals over time also makes it possible to visualise mOOving patterns of individual animals, such as high-value bulls, and grazing patterns for complete herds. Seeing where cattle have grazed can help a producer to either rotate or redesign a paddock thus maximising yields. mOOvement has been focusing on tracking cattle since its foundation in May 2017. Cattle jumping fences From the very beginning, Australian producers have been heavily involved in the process of developing the product by focussing on the real problems their experience. With the end result being that mOOvement has been able to build a product

that solves costly challenges. The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research showed that Australian producers are frustrated at losing cows. Fences break because of weather events, pests and vermon and or the cattle themselves. With the broken fences, cattle can easily escape, get mixed or lost. Losing cattle is a significant financial loss and has

a high impact on any beef enterprise, especially when bulls escape.

and efficient, many producers take advantage of helicopters. However, todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mustering solutions come Another consequence of cattle, with high costs and consequences. particularly bulls jumping fences or Typically renting a helicopter including getting out is that breeding plans can pilot costs over $350 per hour, get disturbed or disrupted or even forcing the producers to make hard losses occurring due to fighting and decisions whether they should send unplanned and unwanted offspring the helicopter back when cows are resulting from incorrect matings, missing. For the producer, it is also forced abortions and in some cases very hard to know which cows are complete losses in single sire herds. missing when they are in the field. Is Low muster rates it a calf, a weaner or a pregnant cow? Given the extensive sizes of properties This problem is easily solved by using and herds of thousands of cows, it the mOOvement innovation. is very hard for producers to get a Cattle mortality clean muster. Managing these herds Losing cattle through jumping fences with limited resources makes it even is just one of the ways that beef more challenging getting all the producers unnecessarily misplace cattle out of the paddock. To make animals. Other ways cattle are lost, the mustering more convenient

include getting bogged, dehydration or starvation caused by diseases such as three day sickness. Mortality has a high impact on returns for the producer. Cattle death means a significant waste in labour, food and other costs involved with breeding and growing. It is very frustrating for producers finding carcases without knowing the cause of death. During our research, we heard countless producers state: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If only I would know my animals are not moving for several hours, I would go there in time to help!â&#x20AC;?

Condamine Q.

Source: Burt Rutherford, beefmagazine.com Images: beefmagazine.com, Shane Bedwell & KB Consulting

Does the show ring matter in the cow pasture? The show ring can be fun and exciting, but does it have any value beyond ribbons, trophies and bragging rights? Yes. “We’ve become very efficient about making the cow herd more efficient; building the end product and doing a great job from that standpoint with some of the EPDs we’ve had. But like anything, we can go too far. And having a balance of phenotypic appraisal and a balance of genetic selection and emphasis is where we need to be as a whole.” Good advice, that. But would you be surprised knowing it came from one of the country’s most highly respected show cattle judges? Maybe. How about hearing it come from the director of breed improvements from one of the nation’s largest beef breed registries? Probably not. But you may be very surprised knowing that it came from a person who is both of those. Shane Bedwell, cattle judge, judging team coach and director of breed improvement for the American Hereford Association was one of the featured speakers at the Cattlemen’s College, a part of the Cattle Industry Convention in Nashville, Tenn. Bedwell gave the cattlemen in attendance a basic course in judging to start off, reminding them that as you look at the top of the shoulder coming down to the point of the shoulder, that should be sloped at 45 degrees, or close to it. “From the point of the shoulder to the elbow or top of the knee, that should be at 45 degrees. Where we find problems is where we take this middle part at the point of the shoulder and we move it back closer to the midpoint of the body and cause a straight line up and down.”

animal. I give you this because over the years trying to train teams, teaching these angles, it’s fine and dandy to talk about it on the screen, but to actually see it, it’s hard.” Two things he found are helpful if you’re just trying to determine if your animals are correct in their structure is to look at the topline and the head. “And I’m not necessarily saying they have to be perfect in their topline, but when animals are too straight in their shoulder, they’re going to roach up in their back a lot of times. Or there will be some deviations in their back.” In addition, an animal will drop its head if it’s too straight in the front end because it’s physically hard and a little more painful to get their neck and head above the top of their shoulder. “So as you look at an animal travel and walk, look for a consistent topline versus one that doesn’t bow up and roach up. A little bit of dip, a little bit of weakness is OK. I have seen very few animals that are weak in their topline that are straight runners. That usually doesn’t go together,” he says. “The other thing I look at if I’m trying to figure out if this animal is a little too straight running, are their hocks not quite right? Look at how they fill their track. So the back legs should go where the front foot made an indention in the soil. So if their topline is messed up, if they’re missing their track, there’s probably a structural problem in the hock, the hind leg or the front end.”

That creates an angle that gets closer to 90 degrees. “Those animals are too straight in their front end. They lose mobility. What’s going to happen to the front toes? They’re going to grind down because they’re not wearing correctly. And so we have some issues from a foot standpoint.” Looking at the hind quarters, it’s the same thing, he says. “And this one we maybe don’t talk about as much, but I think it’s just as important as the front end, particularly as you go out to select those breeding bulls to make an impact in your herd, those females you want to create some longevity with at cull and keep time.” So, from the top of the pin bone coming down into the stifle joint, again you want to look for that 45 degree angle. And just as importantly, the 45 degree angle from this point down into the hock. “We need that extra give, that extra Show judges look for the correct angles in both the front and angle to create that reaching step, that extra flexibility to rear ends. This structure is equally important in the pasture, reach out and cover their stride and fill that track.” and perhaps more so. That’s because an animal with the correct The last point is a strong topline. “And I’m not just talking about showring aesthetics where we want to pick a show 36

overall structure will travel better and be less prone to lameness. Illustration courtesy of Shane Bedwell

Bedwell posed this question to the audience: “If you had to pick two heifers in the pen, one was post-legged and one was sickle-hocked, which one would you pick?” The correct answer is sickle-hocked. “We’d definitely prefer that extra leg set, that extra reach to the hind leg. Aesthetically, maybe not as correct or what is ideal, but functionally, long-term speaking, you’re going to get a lot more good out of those females.” If you’re still not sure, look at the dew claws. “If the dew claws are pointing back at you, you’re OK. If the dew claws are pointing out, you’ve probably got a hock problem of being too bow-legged. If the dew claws are pointing in, you’re probably a little cow-hocked.”

So, which one of those structural imperfections would you rather have, bow-legged or hocking in? “Hocking in, definitely. Being a little cow-hocked, functionally long term, longevity, there are a lot of cows out their like that. Maybe not ideal, but a lot better than the bow-legged animal because they’re going to put too much pressure on the outside of their hoof wall. That hoof wall is going to grind down, the outside toe is going to get small, the inside toes are going to grow and we’ve got some serious issues.” When selecting young bulls, he suggests to look at heel depth. There’s a problem if the heel line is on the ground. “There’s not enough depth of heel. Sometimes we can get these animals too weak in their pastern. We would prefer some flex in that pastern versus something that’s too tight and restricted. But if there’s not enough depth of heel and strength in the pastern, what happens to this foot? It starts to grow out and then we have some long-term problems,” he says. What you want to stay away from is an animal that’s too straight up and down. It’s easy to see, in extreme cases, where the name came from, he says because the front legs look just like a post sticking out of the ground. “Too straight in the hock and what is it doing to the foot? That foot is not setting correctly on the surface. It’s too up and down, it’s grinding down the foot. This animal would definitely miss its stride, not fill it’s track. From a flexibility standpoint, from a breeding standpoint, these animals that are too post-legged have some serious issues.”

An animal with correct front-end structure can cover the pasture better and move out with enough flexibility to maintain itself all day. An animal with a poor front end may not be as efficient, simply because it can’t move as well and graze as effectively. 37

ABARES 2019 outlook IN taking a stab at the size of the Australian cattle herd over the next five years, ABARES has provided one of the broadest possible predictions, pointing to a ’95 percent probability’ it will stand between 24.4 million head and 30 million head in five years time – a range of almost six million head. ABARES says the forecast range corresponds to 6 percent lower and 15 percent higher than the 2017–18 estimated herd size of 25.8 million head (which includes dairy cattle as well as beef cattle). The Australian Government commodity forecaster does provide a more specific projection in a table within its beef forecast, which points to the herd remaining within a few hundred thousand head of the current 25.8 million head level for the next four years, before increasingly marginally to 26.4 million head in 2022-23 and 26.9 million head in 2023-24. “Domestic herd expansion is highly dependent on seasonal conditions because of Australia’s pasture-based grazing system,” ABARES outlook report states.

and economic growth will limit import demand growth in Japan China by contrast has rising incomes which are enabling more consumers to eat more meat, a trend likely to continue into the medium term. However ABARES notes that Australian beef faces significant competition from lower priced South American beef in China. It believes that while China will increase its imports of beef from Australia and other suppliers, Australia will continue to lose market share to its competitors in the country, due to price pressures from low-cost producers. ABARES believes the US cattle slaughter rates are likely to rise, as the US cattle herd growth cycle nears a peak following five years of herd accumulation and falling steer prices and relatively flat corn prices reduce the profitability of raising cattle. “As a result, beef supply in the United States is expected to be high for several years,” ABARES said.

ABARES also notes that the severe flooding that occurred in late January and early February 2019, which wiped an “Prices are projected to provide incentives for producers estimated 1 to 2pc off the Australian cattle in the space to expand herds, but another season of adverse conditions of a few weeks, will have an adverse impact on both live would cause herd contraction to continue.

There is evidence that where producers have available pasture or feed they have been looking to take advantage of low young cattle prices compared with higher finished cattle prices to purchase breeding stock in preparation for a break in the season. This was demonstrated by restocker purchases of breeding stock reaching above average levels in the last six months of 2018. Assuming seasons improve and Australian production and exports growers, the commodity forecaster expects Australia’s trade to less established beef markets, such as China and the ASEAN region, to grow faster than exports to traditional markets due to changing global demand dynamics. The large and growing US herd is expected to constrain demand for imported beef in the key US market while slowing population 38

Collies, Brangus cattle and the ‘Canning’ The Flynn’s find success Tim and Prue Flynn operate three separate livestock enterprises on their Ridgelands aggregation outside Rockhampton. The Wildcard prefix has three wings, Brangus, Australian Stock Horses and Border Collies. If that isn’t enough the couple also operate a contact mustering business and all are based on the 142ha (350ac) scrub holding, Birrahlee. The Brangus herd of 30 registered females is founded on Bonox and Gunnadoo Park genetics and the couple hope to market their first Brangus cattle in 2020. Tim is no stranger to the breed founding the stud 14 years ago and was the inaugural Burnham Youth awardee, adding “I’ve been around cattle all my life and find that our combination of cattle, horses and dogs blends well and assists with the contract mustering wing of the business.” That part of the business (mustering) is central Queensland based where the couple utilize their dogs in their daily routine. The Flynn’s can work between five to 10 dogs on any given day depending on the workload and the terrain. The Wildcard Border Collie stud consists of between 15 to 20 dogs with the owners breeding two bitches per year with Tim adding, “Most of my dogs are sold privately, we usually sell our pups for around $600 each mostly in the central Highlands areas. Last year at the Ray White Working Dog Sale at Beef 2018 we sold a four-month-old pup for $3000 and at the same event sold trained up dogs for up to $3500.” 42

Autumn – 2019

At last years Queensland Working Cattle Dog Trials and State Championships held at Bauhinia Downs the couples entrant Jasper, took out the Championship in the Queensland Maiden Class and went onto take out 8th in the Open Class Championship. Tim based his dog and his breeding programme on Richard Judd’s Working Border Collie Stud, located at Baralaba. “This was where I purchased my foundation dogs from, we use only Border Collies in our programme and for outside blood we recently send a bitch to Ilfracombe to be mated to a Border Collie that works sheep, those pups are coming along nicely. I’ve been associated with working dogs all my life, about 10 years ago I got into the breeding and training of these very seriously”, said Tim. Tim and his dogs working cattle were a feature and gave a demonstration at last years Rockhampton Junior Beef Show. The couple success isn’t limited to the dog and cattle areas. In their spare time the couple also compete at campdrafts and this too is going extremely well. Late last year Tim and Wildcard Cindy (Beauview Maverick) took out the ‘Cut Out’ in the prestigious Canning Downs Draft during the Warwick Gold Cup. Cindy, an open mare is an eight-year-old granddaughter of Kirkby Stud Double Up.

The 2018 result saw a reduction of values for males of $517 per head as compared to the 2017 result. However, on the upside for sale connections with this reduction of values came an increase in clearance levels by 19 percent in the same period.

2018 Burnham Youth Award Isabella Hanson, a Rockhampton based student is the proud recipient of the 2018 Burnham Youth Award. At just sixteen, Isabella has crammed a lot of life’s experiences and achievements into a short space of time.

As a third generation Brangus breeder she’s been heavily involved in her family’s prefix, the Bullakeana Stud located at Moura. Isabella began competing in Junior Judging and Junior Paraders competitions at the annual Rockhampton Junior Beef at the age of ten. Afterward, and with more confidence, she entered competitions at regional shows which saw her gain an even better understanding of cattle and their preparation. One of her favourite activities is annually selecting bulls and heifers to break in for the Rockhampton Junior Beef and the Moura Shows. In recent times Isabella has been given the opportunity to officiate as an Associate Judge. These stints have been with her father, Brad Hanson and also alongside 46

Jane Geddes, Charlevue, Dingo with Isabella commenting “both of these people have been involved within our breed for the best part of their lives. I have in the process broadened my view on all other breeds and now have a better understanding on how to judge interbreed classes.” In 2018 Isabella represented the Central Queensland Sub-Chamber for Stud Judging and placed as the Runner-Up in the Prime Judging at the Yeppoon Show. In that year she was then old enough to qualify and it was the first time she was allowed to compete at the Brisbane Royal Show

In keeping with her hobbies and studies at the Rockhampton Grammar School, Isabella is a member of the Show Cattle Team and attained the captaincy role for one of those teams entered in the School Team Judging Competition where she spoke on their behalf, placing first out of over more that 40 groups.

In 2018 the young lady saw her attain another milestone where she sold her first sale bull at the annual Central Highlands Angus, Brangus and Ultrablack Bull Sale. “It’s a feat I’ve been working toward for many years. I was given my first registered cow back in 2013. I now have another Isabella competed at the RNA cow registered under my name with competition in the Prime Cattle Junior a calf at foot. The new addition to my Judging and came out the winner branch of our stud was a female that of that section which automatically I selected at the ABCA Rockhampton qualified her into the State Final. Sale last year.” Isabella was the eventual Runner-Up for Queensland in the Prime Cattle “I would like to continue my Judging and made it into the finals of involvement in our stud in the hope both Stud Cattle Judging and Junior of one day expanding Bullakeana Paraders. At Beef 2018 Isabella took Brangus to incorporate a commercial home a third placing in both Paraders operation alongside a seed stock and Judging within her age group. breeding program.”

Isabella’s future goals include furthering her education at university; gaining a position within agri-politics; maintaining this career along with running a property.

“What I love about Brangus is their versatility, they thrive in dry and wet conditions and meet market specifications. I believe Brangus are a very functional breed in terms of calving rates, meat quality and market suitability which motivates me to continue and further my involvement within the breed.”

It’s of little surprise that this youngster is so passionate about the beef industry, and in particular, Brangus. Her grandfather, aunt, uncle and father all have registered herds of their own.

Could cows help reverse the effects of climate change? An ecologist has said that ‘mob-grazing’ cows could reverse climate change. So is the grass really greener on the other side? Should you make that cheeseburger a double? For most people, a beef-eating environmentalist is a contradiction. Ask climate experts what they think about meat and they will tell you that we should be eating a lot less of it. The United Nations has calculated that animal farming is responsible for 14.5 per cent of all greenhouse gas emissions and red meat and dairy production accounts for well over half of that (65 per cent).

farmers to produce more meat per acre, without using chemicals or grains, and that the system produces healthier beef. Sounds too good to be true? Conventional beef vs mob-grazed beef

In conventional grazing systems, livestock is forced to graze on the same couple of acres of grassland for However, there is a small and growing very long periods (weeks, sometimes months). This is where the problems community of farmers, scientists start because farmed animals, unlike and academics who think rearing their wild counterparts, can be much livestock and eating more, or at least more selective about what they eat, maintaining, the amount of red meat grazing hardest on the plants they like we consume is part of the solution to best. Over time, the cow’s favourite climate change. grass is overgrazed, becoming so weak The trick is to get livestock to copy the that other weeds begin to push it out. movements of wild herding animals To get rid of the weeds and get the in nature. After all, cows and sheep good grass to grow, the farmer resorts are prey animals, and in the wild they to chemical fertilisers. However, would move regularly in a bunched fertilisers replace the nutrients that group to find fresh grass to graze on the soil would usually provide, and and keep predators at a distance. without that purpose, organic matter Commonly called “mob grazing”, in the soil decreases and the diversity its supporters argue that it allows of grass species declines as well.

Autumn – 2019

Much like us humans, farmed animals need a good mix of nutrients and minerals, but heavily fertilised grass leaves them undernourished. And because the grass is less nutritious than conventional systems, the farmer has to add grain to the cattle’s diet to keep them producing quality milk after calving or to fatten them up before they go to slaughter. It is this type of industrial animal farming that attracts widespread damnation from environmentalists. The whole process is damaging on many different levels: the production of chemical fertilisers requires fossil fuel use; the grains fed to livestock waste precious natural resources; fertilisers applied to the soil release harmful nitrous oxide into the atmosphere; and many tons of methane are belched into the air by grazing cattle. Under mob-grazing systems, however, things are a little different.

The farmer will put their cows out to graze on a tiny acre of grass for one day, forcing them to eat everything on the ground, not just their favourite grass. The next day the farmer will then move the herd onto a different acre of grass, again forcing them to graze everything on the ground, and again not just their favourite grass. The farmer repeats this process over and over again. The idea is that the herd will not graze on that first acre of grass for several months, giving it a much longer rest period than conventional livestock farming. This resting period is said to be crucial because it allows the grass to grow taller, shuts out the weeds and encourages the growth of diverse grasses. This is supposedly a win-win for the farmer: there is no need to use fertiliser to artificially grow the grass or feed the animals grain as they can get all the nutrients they need from what they graze. By producing healthier grassland, cattle grazed on rotation are said to increase the soil’s capacity to store carbon. This is because bigger and healthier grass has the capacity to take up more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, storing part of this in their roots, and thus sequestering it into the soil. This carbon storing process is at the heart of the beef-lovers’ radical solution to climate change. Nicolette Niman, an American rancher and environmental lawyer, argues in her book Defending Beef that “cattle are not, in fact, a climate problem at all; instead cattle are actually amongst the most practical, cost-effective solutions to the warming of the planet”. But can cows actually reverse climate change? One wildlife ecologist thinks they can. Allan Savory has spent decades advocating the use of mob-grazing techniques to tackle desertification in Africa. His theory goes against conventional wisdom, arguing that rather than reducing the numbers of

livestock on grasslands, we should be increasing them.

What does a sustainable diet look like then?

In a Ted Talk that has since garnered over four million views, Savory says that managing livestock on rotation can take enough carbon out of the atmosphere to return us to preindustrial levels. And it is Savory’s arguments that have influenced many livestock farmers in the UK and United States to introduce mobgrazing techniques.

It seems that there is no one special diet that everyone can follow religiously in order to “save the planet”.

In the places where these methods have been tried, a handful of studies show that they increase soil fertility, and in areas of degraded land, particularly in Africa, they can significantly increase the amount of carbon stored in the soil. A 2007 study by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that these improved grazing methods could mitigate around 90 per cent of agriculture’s contribution to climate change. Does that mean we can eat red meat without green-guilt? Maybe not entirely... For a start, most of the beef and cheese you eat in the UK will not have used these mob-grazing methods. Unless it is has been certified as grassfed, the chances are that the farmer has finished their livestock on some sort of grain. The scientific community is also sceptical. A recent paper released by the Food Climate Research Network, “Grazed and Confused”, challenges many of the claims made by the mobgrazing lobby.

Provenance is an important but often overlooked factor. Where you live will affect how you can eat sustainably, which is why global assessments like the one in the “Grazed and Confused” report create so much debate. In the UK, meat and dairy will remain an important part of a sustainable food system. Two-thirds of the land is grass and turning that over to grow crops would put at risk the 10 billion tons of carbon that these grasses help to store. The Sustainable Food Trust, founded by the environmentalist and farmer Patrick Holden, believes that the most sustainable way to produce food in the UK is to reintroduce mixed farming systems, that integrate both animal and crop production. Properly managed grazing, according to the Sustainable Food Trust, can supply low-emission meat and dairy products while building the necessary fertility in our soils to grow healthier fruits, vegetables and legumes. It’s also worth remembering that British farming accounts for only half of the Britain’s total greenhouse emissions from food production. The rest is estimated to come from processing, transportation, storage, retailing and food preparation .

That means food grown locally, produced without fertilisers or The study says fairly definitively that industrial grains and with minimal the ability of livestock to offset its own processing is better for the planet. emissions has been overstated and Damian Hind is head of at best techniques like mob-grazing communications at Farmdrop, can offset only as much as 20 per cent where this article first appeared to 60 per cent of the emissions from (farmdrop.co.uk) animal farming. The environmentalist campaigner and plant-based diet advocate George Monbiot has since argued that this latest assessment is the final nail in the coffin for livestock farming. 53

SBTS & TBTS regional forums In 2019, SBTS & TBTS will be offering a two day Regional Forum at 14 locations around Australia. Day one will cover BREEDPLAN fundamentals, while day two covers how to get the most out of BREEDPLAN via DNA technologies. The SBTS & TBTS Regional Forums have been designed to be interactive, with discussion sessions occurring throughout the day. This allows for producers to learn from each other and share their own experiences on how to best utilise BREEDPLAN in their business. Day one has been designed for cattle breeders that are new to BREEDPLAN or who wish to refresh their BREEDPLAN knowledge. The day will cover the role of genetics in beef breeding and outline the BREEDPLAN process (including data collection and submission). Attendees will also learn how to get the most from BREEDPLAN and how to interpret BREEDPLAN reports for their herd.

2019 Forum Dates

Day two has been designed for beef producers that wish to gain a deeper understanding of the applications of DNA technology for beef breeding, and will assume attendees have a good knowledge of the topics covered on day one. The day will cover parentage verification, genetic conditions and the use of DNA information in BREEDPLAN analyses. BREEDPLAN herds will also be provided with a genetic progress report, which will allow them to benchmark their current genetic position and identify whether they have made genetic progress for each trait in recent years.

CQUni’s DataMuster boosts Argentina’s beef research The CQUniversity-developed automated livestock management system DataMuster has had its first international deployment, with two Argentinean research stations installing the system recently. The DataMuster system, which uses walk-over-weigh scales, advanced data analytics and remote communication technologies, to monitor growth and reproductive performance, has been connected to a system developed by Argentina’s National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA), which automatically measures the amount of grain consumed by each individual animal in a feedlot. CQUniversity’s Prof Dave Swain said that joining the two systems together would enable beef producers to identify animals which convert the least amount of feed into the maximum amount of beef in the shortest period of time.

recent deployments made possible after receiving grant funding from the Council on Australia Latin America Relations of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The grant provided for INTA staff to travel to Australia to work with CQUniversity researchers on connecting the electronic hardware of the two systems, and centralise data management. The grant also enabled CQUniversity staff to travel to Argentina to install DataMuster, as well as meet with industry leaders and potential commercial partners to ensure the technology can become readily available to farmers in both countries.

in Australia, their adoption was only now beginning to gather momentum in Argentina. “So the time is right to bring together technologies like our net feed intake unit and DataMuster, which can use eID to automatically gather the information producers need to make better management decisions,” Dr Pordomingo said. CQUniversity has established DataMuster as an ag-tech start-up company to deliver the technology to the beef industry and maximise the impact of its research programs to the community.

DataMuster’s web-based platform provides cattle producers with the “Together the systems measure, At a genetic evaluation program field critical information they need for analyse data and report via app the day held this week at INTA’s Anguil more timely and precise management exact amount of feed consumed and Research Station more than 50 decisions on stocking rates, mustering the corresponding daily weight gain of Argentinean cattle breeders inspected and marketing dates, feed availability, individual animals,” Prof Swain said. the DataMuster deployment and its and animal health treatments. “This will allow producers to select the integration with the INTA net feed For more information visit genetics which will deliver maximum intake measurement system. www.datamuster.net.au productivity with minimum impact on INTA’s National Meat Program their grazing environment.” Coordinator Dr Anibal Pordomingo CQUniversity and INTA have been said that while the use of electronic collaborating for two years, with the identification systems was mandatory

CSU Research: $23 million project to put dung beetles to work CSU will lead a national research effort to develop producer knowledge and capacity to enable dung beetles to deliver on-farm benefits.

Graham Centre Director Professor Michael Friend said, “This project aims to build our knowledge of the role that native and imported dung beetles provide in farming systems such as improving pasture and soil health and reducing the spread of flies and parasites.”

Professor Friend said, “Charles Sturt University and the Graham Centre are focused on providing meaningful research outcomes for industry and our rural communities. These beetles may be small but there’s potential for them to have greater economic, environmental and social benefits.” The five-year project is supported by MLA through funding from the Australian Government’s Rural Research & Development for Profit program. MLA’s Sustainability Innovation Manager Mr Doug McNicholl said the project would enable producers to gain greater knowledge of and access to dung beetles that can provide significant productivity and environmental benefits on-farm. “Dung beetles play a critical role in grazing ecosystems. By burying dung in the soil, the beetles improve the flow of water, nutrients and carbon into the root zones of pastures, which improves pasture productivity. And by disturbing the dung, they prevent build-up of flies and worms which in turn improves animal productivity. “In addition to investigating new beetle strains and giving some existing species a population boost, the project will quantify the economic and environmental benefits beetles provide to the red meat industry. We’ll also learn more about how to look after these little critters so that they can continue to do their good work into the future.” The research is led by CSU with eight partner organisations: The University of Western Australia, CSIRO, Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research, The University of New England, Dung Beetle Solutions International, Warren Catchments Council, Mingenew-Irwin Group and the Western Australian Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.

Argentina’s eyes on CQUni’s automated livestock management systems Automated livestock management systems (ALMS) have proved as accurate as traditional manual data gathering methods in extensive trials in Central Queensland. CQUniversity’s DataMuster system was used to gather and analyse daily weight gain information from cattle in a herd at Emerald, which was also weighed regularly using traditional crush-side methods for Breedplan standards. The trial revealed that the information gathered using ALMS - comprised of walk-over-weigh scales, and in situ computing - provided more regular data on animal performance, while

delivering extremely accurate animal weight records. CQUniversity Professor Dave Swain said this was a significant moment for Australia’s northern beef cattle producers. “They now have access to a simple, affordable and accurate system which will allow them to participate in performance recording activities,” Professor Swain said.

Speaking at Argentina’s Animal Production Association (AAPA) conference in Mar del Plata, CQUniversity’s Professor Dave Swain detailed how the use of Edge Computing methods were breaking down the tyrannies of distance in remote Australian production systems. The AAPA conference attracted more than 250 delegates from around the world, with experts sharing more

than 380 research papers reporting results from trials conducted in 15 different countries as well as the United Nation’s Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO). AAPA is Argentina’s premiere research conference bringing together all disciplines of livestock research. As well as facilitating the exchange of ideas between local researchers and producers, the conference features a select group of invited international speakers from around the world. Professor Swain told the conference that CQUni’s application of Edge Computing methods was unlocking new opportunities to collect, analyse and communicate data automatically gathered using paddock-based sensors in remote locations.

“A core component of the DataMuster system is our paddock-based DataHub, which features a microcomputer that connects and analyses data gathered from equipment including walk-over-weigh scales, electronic identification, and water monitoring,” Professor Swain said. “The information analysis and storage structure we have implemented will allow producers to access accurate and validated data sets that support participation in benchmarking activities such as carbon trading linked to an emerging blockchain system.” CQUniversity is establishing DataMuster as a stand-alone agri-tech start-up company, to transition the technology from a research platform to a system that is commercially available to producers both in Australia and around the world.

The system has attracted strong interest from Argentina’s beef industry and research community, with DataMuster now installed at two government research stations as part of a research collaboration supported by the Council on Australia Latin America Relations of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Thank You All I would like to extend my thanks and gratitude to the Burnham family and the Australian Brangus Cattle Association (ABCA) on being awarded the 2017 Burnham Youth Award. I was indeed very honoured to receive the award in front of many Brangus members that I have come to look up to as a young cattle breeder. After receiving the award, I felt an immense sense of pride in myself, knowing that my hard work and dedication was paying off. It has boosted my confidence and has given me the energy and will power to keep breeding and being involved in Brangus cattle. Another great privilege as a part of receiving the award, and one I shall never forget, was when I had the opportunity to be Associate Judge at the 2018 Royal Brisbane Show with Rodger Jefferis, Elrose, Cloncurry. It was a great experience and I learnt a great deal about the key features we should look for in tropical cattle. It was terrific to be given the chance to comment on a few classes during judging.

Seven tips for securing a business loan Securing a business loan in Australia isn’t necessarily difficult but knowing how to navigate your way can be the difference between successfully having the loan approved or having the loan declined. Banks and other financial institutions offer a wide range of business finance options, from property loans, vehicle and equipment finance, to other options such as letters of credit, overdrafts and lines of credit. Here are some tips on how to improve your chances of success for approval.

Martin Pentecost

1. Work out what is realistic It’s a good idea to find and compare credit options based on the amount of money you need to borrow, how you want it funded, and the type of security you want to provide (residential, non-residential or none at all). 2. Find a Finance Broker The next step is to speak to an accredited finance broker, who can help you work out what loan type and lender are appropriate for your business and you. Finance brokers work with their clients to determine their borrowing needs and abilities, select a loan suited to their circumstances and manage the process through to settlement. Not only do they do a lot of the paperwork, they also have access to a wide range of loans and are experts in the area. 3. Have a credit history and make it good Lenders are looking for two things when it comes to your credit status: A. an existing credit relationship and B. a relatively clear history. If a borrower already has an existing loan which they’re servicing on time, they are much more likely to be successful. Of course, there are options for those who are either credit impaired or just don’t have a documented credit history, and a finance broker can help clarify these. 4. Actively show how risk will be minimised You need to demonstrate how you will lessen or mitigate the risk to you and to the lender. Your finance broker can help.

Autumn – 2019

5. Be prepared

An MFAA or FBAA Approved Finance Broker is much more than your average mortgage broker.

For your first meeting with your finance broker, have upto-date paperwork and tax records, make sure you’ve done For more information call us on 07 4992 4810 or email us your research and have a fair idea how much you want to enquiries@growfg.com.au borrow and how you plan to spend it. You should also know your total worth, listing your assets and liabilities. 6. Have a plan Lenders like to see a business plan that shows that you know your business and what you want to achieve. Make sure you have a clear idea of how you can achieve it. 7. Provide more than one exit strategy Lenders want to know how they’re going to get their money back, and some want up to three scenarios for what is called the ‘Exit Strategy’. To give your business a good chance of success, talk to an accredited finance broker about finding the best and the right financing options for you.

Focus on breeding objectives Staying abreast of the developments in breeding technologies is becoming an increasing challenge for many in the Australian beef industry.

Advances in performance recording and improved understanding of genetics have seen the expansion in use of Breedplan EBVs. The improved understanding of the relationships between genes, combined with the ability to identify genetic markers, has significantly refined the way industry considers and uses performance recording. While these developments have gathered pace in the past decade, the adoption of performance recording or the use of performance records in setting breeding objectives continues at a much slower pace. State Departments of Agriculture traditionally led extension and encouragement of the adoption of

Autumn â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2019

these technologies. As government involvement in extension declines, there is a fear that implementation of these technologies on farm will decline further. Creation of Beef Genetics Network Addressing the need for improved adoption of genetic technologies requires an industry-wide focus. This has been recognised through the recent creation of a Beef Genetics Network, which met in Armidale during the week.

both the Southern Beef Technology Service (SBTS) and the northernbased Tropical Beef Technology Service (TBTS). The creation of the network reflects the awareness across industry that many of the rapid changes in performance recording include genomics, as well other developments, are not well known or understood by the actual end-users. Over the coming months, the network will focus on increasing the ability of private and public advisors to advise producers on their use of genetic and breeding technologies in making breeding decisions.

The initiative has been led by the Southern Beef Technology Service (SBTS) and is overseen by a committee Of key note will be the overhaul drawn from MLA, ABRI, AGBU and of the genetics information pages

on the MLA website. The overhaul will include the release of several short instructional videos with improvements in the explanation and application of breeding technologies; BreedPlan and setting breeding objectives.

understanding of the options to improve the genetic potential of their herd. A common example was the focus on trends such as heifer bulls, and selection on one or two traits. This often led to selection on bulls that would restrict future growth levels or the ability to hit market specifications.

The role of breeding objectives On-farm, there is increasing concern that the low number of producers who have a formalised set of breeding objectives is restricting the adoption of genetic technologies. MLA data from Bred-Well, Fed-Well workshops suggest that the use of breeding objectives is possibly as low as 10 percent of producers.

Measuring the period of a bullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s influence Often overlooked is the overall period of time that a bull will influence a breeding program.

The combination of these two decisions means the influence As highlighted in my first genetics of that bull is felt within that herd for column for Beef Central last week, bull fifteen years. Poor bull selection can breeders have emphasised the need see that period of time result in less for producers to establish breeding performance within a herd in areas objectives before purchasing bulls. such as growth, fertility or other traits Many breeders acknowledged of economic importance. their variation in their clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Although bull breeders consistently identified their role in assisting their clients in purchasing decisions, more broadly there is a need for commercial producers to do their own preparation beforehand. Increasingly producers need to bring their own understanding of their environment, cattle and market requirements to any discussion regarding future bull purchases. The development of the Beef Genetics Network will be a significant industry step towards assisting producers to increase their skills and ability to set goals that will drive on-farm production through genetic selection.

Non-insecticidal buffalo fly control using behaviourmodifying systems

The literature on the behaviour, the role of attractants, arrestants and repellents and the population dynamics of the buffalo and horn flies was reviewed. The behaviour of buffalo flies in locating and when residing on cattle has been investigated. Orientation of flies to animals occurred in freshly emerged flies, but the response increased to a maximum at 16-17 hours post emergence. Numbers of buffalo flies on animal in pens fluctuated throughout the day and night indicating that the flies regularly leave and return to their hosts. Olfaction and vision in buffalo flies have been identified as important components in the location of host cattle and cattle dung. The work in this project aimed at modifying the behaviour of buffalo flies with chemical and/or visual means, so that the flies will not be able to locate cattle or egg laying sites.

Autumn â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2019

This would result in a disruption of the flies life cycle, leading to lower fly populations, and thus assist in control. Substantial progress was achieved in the search for, and the assessment of, the effectiveness of chemical and visual cues, but further improvements in synthetic chemical attractants and in understanding the role of visual targets are still required. A list of chemical compounds contained in odours emanating from cattle and their excretions was compiled from work done by overseas groups and by us using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. These compounds were considered potential chemical cues in attracting buffalo fly to cattle. The responses of buffalo flies to many single chemicals, mixtures of chemicals and bovine derived natural odours enhanced with synthetic components were assessed in an olfactometer, a fly cage assay, in the behavioural observation facility for flies (BOFF) and in the field.

Good responses were obtained for bovine odours, bovine odours enhanced with synthetic chemicals and some mixtures of synthetic chemicals. A direct comparison of a synthetic mixture with odours from a steer showed that a similar response to the two stimuli could be obtained in the fly cage assay. This is a very encouraging result and an indication that the synthetic odour developed has the potential of efficiently attracting buffalo flies. We showed that buffalo flies, fly cage linings and extracts thereof (cuticular hydrocarbons) elicit a behavioural response in buffalo flies and determined their chemical nature. Investigations of potential visual cues revealed buffalo flies oriented towards model cows and black rectangular targets in the BOFF and field situations. In the BOFF, there was an increase in the percentage responding when animal odour was superimposed on the visual targets. The addition of lures for other flies to visual targets in the field did not increase their attractivity to buffalo flies. Also, none of the other traps developed for stock associated flies caught buffalo flies. The use of light traps to attract buffalo flies at night was evaluated. It was demonstrated that buffalo flies could orient towards a light source up to a distance of 60 metres. Light traps near penned cattle reduced fly numbers on cattle. However, in a small paddock the light trap had no apparent short term effect on fly numbers on cattle.

Casper is owned jointly by the Redline and Duarran prefixes. Leesa and her family operate Black and Gold Dairies outside Monto and although they dispersed their dairy herd in August 2017 the family are over the moon with their new heifer.

“She’s great to work with and just a lovely heifer, a wonderfully feminine addition.” Lessa added, “we’ll probably AI her either later this year or early next year, we haven’t arrived at that decision yet.” Although the family don’t have a Brangus stud they did purchase a bull during the sale from the local Redline prefix.

When asked if she would like to contribute a recipe for this edition Linda turned to her husband, Lawson Geddes to ask him what he thought, his immediate response was ‘your Chocolate Cake mum’. This recipe has served Linda well for many years. It was originally found in an ICPA School Cookbook when Lawson and Linda’s family where educated through Charleville School of the Air in the late 70’s early 1980’s. The recipe originally came from Lesley Cowper, Bowen Downs, Aramac but for anyone who has had the pleasure of having smoko at Couti-Outi there is a fair chance that they have been cut a slice of it. Footnote - Linda always ices it with a hint of scotch in the icing! We also take this opportunity to wish Lawson a speedy recovery from his accident and hope to see him soon. Thanks again Linda for this family favourite.

Financial help still available for flood affected producers Primary producers recovering from wide-spread flooding in North and North West Queensland can still apply for financial help. Grants of up to $75, 000 are available to help with some of the costs of immediate clean-up and reinstatement activities in the aftermath of the historic flooding event in January and February. Grant and loan funding is available through the Queensland Rural and Industry Development Authority (QRIDA) for affected producers to hire equipment, purchase and transport fodder, remove debris and dead livestock, replace fencing, restock and other costs associated with the recovery process. Grants have already been paid to producers throughout 11 affected shires, the first paid to a cattle producer within days of applications opening.

Producers can apply for Special Disaster Assistance Recovery Grants up to $75,000 and longer term can consider concessional loans to help their business recover from flooding and associated losses. Disaster Assistance Loans up to $250,000 with 1.37% interest can be used to purchase livestock, replacing those lost in the disaster event, and for working capital expenses such as paying salaries or wages, paying creditors, rent or rates. Disaster Assistance Essential Working Capital Loans up to $100,000 for businesses indirectly impacted during the disaster event to assist with working capital expenses are also available. QRIDA Disaster Recovery Manager Craig Turner said primary producers affected during the flooding still had time to apply for assistance to help

ease the financial burden of cleaning up and returning their business to normal. “While some producers in North and Far North Queensland are still coming to terms with the damage caused to their property and livestock, they can take some comfort knowing there is financial help available,” Mr Turner said. “Producers are reminded to take photos of the direct damage to accompany their application. In addition, you can provide other evidence such as relevant quotes, estimates or tax invoices as you would retain in the normal course of your business. While it is not a requirement, the more information you can provide to support your application will assist towards processing your application as expediently as possible.” For more information visit www.qrida.qld.gov.au or Freecall 1800 623 946.
