ach July the Heard Book issue of the Shorthorn Country is very special. It is used as a reference by most breeders throughout the year. The great news this year is the number of advertisers has increased over last year. Breed activity continues to grow. I would like to bring your attention to our Annual Meeting, Forum and Awards Banquet, Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, 2018 at Harrah’s Hotel and Casino in Kansas City. Friday morning, Nov. 30, begins with Breakout Sessions including registry information, performance programs, state membership activity and marketing strategies followed by Committee meetings. The morning sessions are great opportunities for members and breeders to gain education and information about programs at ASA. Friday afternoon we will start the Educational Forum sessions with speakers and folks that have developed niche type markets in the beef industry. This afternoon session will present some possibilities for breeders to consider or start niche type beef markets for their operations. We have seen interest in this area and made it a priority to find successful operators who will share their process and experiences in developing a niche type beef market. Opportunities exist for breeders and members to develop a Shorthorn Beef niche market if it fits your operation. Friday evening we will host a social for fellowship and sharing with Shorthorn enthusiasts. The Forum continues Saturday morning with topics such as opportunities in the beef cattle industry, performance program information, and an in-depth look at how feed conversion is effecting genetic selection and market. A panel of successful cattle breeders will share how they have taken advantage of opportunities in our industry. In the afternoon we will have our ASA annual meeting at which delegates will elect ASA Board Members. The Awards Banquet will be Friday evening; we have invited a guest speaker who should be quite entertaining for all in attendance. Awards will be presented for Century Club, Show, Performance and the Merit, Heritage and Breeder of the Year will be announced. The new additions we are planning will make the evening something everyone will enjoy. Members who have attended this event comment on the benefits from the forum and the networking time with Shorthorn breeders from across the country. This is a must attend event for all Shorthorn members and breeders. All paid members and members in good standing will receive a ballot in August to elect delegates from their state to represent at the annual meeting. ASA is launching a new app for your cell phones that will be featured and used at Junior National. This should increase your accessibility to information at ASA. Please check on page 72 for more information concerning the app. In this issue please take time to look at an article addressing “How Do We Make Shorthorns Fit” in our breed and industry to help improve Shorthorn Cattle on page 38. Matt and I put a considerable amount of time into this. We are not saying you have to agree with everything we say; we are just sharing our opinions on the subjects addressed. The ASA Board of Directors is committed to the Initiatives on this page. Number one is Developing Better Shorthorn Cattle! We hope this information will help members achieve this. By now you should be looking at the new one step (Bolt) EPDs. These will be updated each Monday at noon. This is a busy time of the year for everyone. I encourage you to register all your calves before Aug. 31, our year-end, to make sure we top 15,000 registrations! Hope everyone is having a great summer and let everyone know Shorthorns are On the Move! =

Finding Value in Genomics Most months, I have a topic in mind and bring some educational merit to this column. This time, I decided to put on my philosopher hat and attempt to generate some thought. My goal is not to change anyone’s mind or current management practices, but rather to shine some light on other perspectives different than what you might already be doing in your herd. We officially have our single-step EPDs live and running weekly through the BOLT software. If you have read anything that has been published outlining the new system, you’ve noticed that the genomic impact on EPDs is greater than before. With advanced computing software, it’s now easier to incorporate the information collected from studying an animal’s genetic makeup, giving us a better indication of their potential for specific traits. After all, an animal’s own genetic makeup is what drives their performance, so it makes sense to incorporate that information into our EPDs. The increased role of genomics has spurred interest in genomic testing, but there are several schools of thought on the best method. For this exercise, pretend that there are 50 head of what you consider ideal Shorthorn cows in a pasture. Every year, these wonderful cows produce exactly 25 excellent bull calves and 25 outstanding heifer calves. You have an extra $1,000 in your budget, and as much as you might like to put it in the bank, for this exercise it must be spent on genomic testing. You notice the ASA offers the “uLD” genomic test for $40/head, which would allow you to genomically test 25 of your calves and receive GE-EPDs. How do you decide which 25 to test? It’s becoming more commonplace to see bull sale offerings that have genomically tested the entire offering. Genomically testing your yearling bulls helps develop a better idea of their genetic potential, and your customers appreciate that when making their buying decisions. The tough question is: will the customer place enough value in GE-EPDs to pay a premium for 20

shorthorn country = july 2018

your bulls? The increased accuracies are great, and knowing how many progeny records genomic testing equates to for a trait alleviates some risk. However, the decision to genomically test bulls has to be backed up by a vote of confidence from your customer’s checkbook. Unless you are using a bull in your herd, testing your bulls has more benefit for genetic improvement for the purchaser than it does for you. Maybe testing heifers is a better idea? Normally, you replace 10-15 of your cows each year. Deciding which half of the heifers stay in the herd is never easy. Perhaps having genomically-enhanced EPDs will help separate the top cut. Genomic information might be handy on selecting the last few replacement candidates, where the margin between keepers and shippers is thin. Over 4 to 5 years, keeping these genomically tested heifers will result in your whole cow herd having GE-EPDs. With better information at your fingertips, you are more informed to make sound mating decisions when producing the next generation of Shorthorns. With the new BOLT system, parents with GE-EPDs have an impact on the EPDs of their progeny as well. Over the life of a cow, that $40 investment can certainly recoup itself in the added value of producing better calves thanks to the availability of genomic information. Both schools of thought can pay for the initial costs of genomic testing, and both options offer better information for making selection decisions. The debate boils down to when the value is realized from testing, and who benefits the most in terms of genetic progress. With testing your sale bulls, the monetary value is returned quicker, but doesn’t the customer reap the rewards of enhanced genetic information? By testing heifers, the value may not be realized as quickly. The value lies in making better selections of replacements, as well as having GEEPDs available when breeding your cows. Having a genomically tested cow herd can help you further genetic progress in your operation.

Matt director of Woolfolk performance programs

Some of you are thinking about an idea I haven’t mentioned yet: testing some bulls and some heifers, but not all of either one. This could certainly be done. However, it’s similar to only reporting your heaviest weaning weights. If you don’t weigh (or test) all the animals in the group, the best ones don’t look as strong when you omit the bottom. You might identify some calves as having some superior genetics, but maybe you don’t see the total impact of not having them compared to everyone in the group: the good, the bad, and the ugly. It’s a tale of “Profit vs Progress” when comparing these methods of genomic testing. In an even more perfect world, there would be $2,000 in the budget and all calves could be tested. How do you decide what method works best for you? Start off by listening to your customers. If they show interest and willingness to pay more for genomically tested bulls, then it’s hard not to consider that route. If they’re not too keen on the idea, maybe it’s more worthwhile to give the ladies in the heifer pen a uLD genomic test at weaning day. Whatever decision you make in the real world, I hope you consider incorporating genomic testing into your program. If you already have, I hope you have a plan in place that is helping you realize the value of your investment in testing. There’s only so much we can discern with our eyes and our scales. Genetics are what make cattle unique, and the ability to have more of that information in hand when breeding them is an advantage. Everyone has different goals and focuses in their herd. However, we all can agree that breeding better cattle, and doing so while making a profit, is a primary goal that we should do whatever we can to achieve. =

= President Outlook

James ASA Freed president

Our Future Looks Good As I was thinking about what to write for this article, my mind could not help but go back to my beginning with this organization. We had just moved to our new home in the country and our daughter had joined the 4-H program. After a very brief stint in trying to show sheep, our daughter, through the advice of our Ag-Ed teacher, embarked on showing a Shorthorn steer. Little did I know how far and where that decision would take our family. We enjoyed showing that Shorthorn steer, and came to love the breed with its fine people and the gentle nature of the Shorthorn cattle. As time went along we decided to expand and she started showing heifers, because we wanted to start forming a herd of cattle that would be a learning experience for our daughter and our son who would later join in showing Shorthorn cattle. We decided to name the venture—Double J Ranch—after the first initials of those two children. As time went along, not only did we develop a nice herd of those Shorthorn

cattle, but we began to develop relationships with breeders of this great breed of cattle. They were such a great source of knowledge and encouragement for our two children and for Bev and myself. Through the junior program, our children learned many things beyond just the cattle, including but not limited to, public speaking, leadership, friendships, responsibility, and working together as a family. Little by little, we recognized that we wanted to continue this venture even after our children were finished with their time in the junior program. We continued Double J Ranch and Bev even started her own venture, Jeepetta Cattle Company, because there had developed in our hearts, a love for this Shorthorn cattle and maybe even more a love for our fellow breeders. As time went along, the opportunity for us to give back to the breed and to the those fine people who had done so much for us and our children. To serve on the Board of Directors and to be Advisors to National Junior

Board, came our way, and man, what a thrill those things and times brought to us. To give back to this organization and to the Junior program, was a way of saying thanks for all the breeders and the organization had done in making our children and even Bev and I , more informed about cattle, this breed, and life in general. So now, as my term on the Board is coming to an end—I can only say thanks for the memories, fun, and excitement. Every hour spent in serving, does not even come close to thanking the organization and the people, for what was given to our children and even now our grandchildren, and especially to Bev and myself. We all need to recognize that “paying it forward” is a way to promote and ensure that this great breed of cattle and breeders, continues to be a force in the cattle business not only in the USA but worldwide. The junior program has value now, but its real value is in the future. And our future does truly look good. =

FOR OVER 75 YEARS,

WE’VE BEEN RAISING SHORTHORNS WITH THREE THINGS IN MIND.

• PERFORMANCE – our cattle have to perform under any environment. • PREDICTABILITY – sound genetics ensure our cattle meet expectations. • PROFITABILITY – our cattle must make money for us, but more importantly for our customers. Hillside Farm genetics have been influencing Shorthorns from South Carolina to California, Canada to Australia. The next time you’re looking for performance based, predictable, profitable Shorthorns, maybe we can help you too!

= Vice President Outlook I want to thank the Shorthorn Country for allocating this space for board officers to communicate with our members. We have seen a lot of changes in the past several years in our association. We have moved the office, acquired genomically enhanced EPDs, and changed personnel to name a few. A constant and never ceasing shift and change has occurred in our agricultural world as well. A few of these changes are demographics of our communities, consumer preference and available technology. Concurrently, there are things that are timeless like the needs of a new born calf, the smell of freshly cut hay or the love families experience as they work side by side to care for the cattle herds they steward. As a representative of your association board members make it our very personal goal to represent, defend and promote the interest of all our members. I have learned many things in this process and one of the most valuable lessons has been to appreciate and understand the many different perspectives, challenges, and accomplishments of our members. I have also learned to appreciate the different approaches to cattle breeding from our members. There is no doubt we have a very diverse set of breeders. We have very large and very small operations and some only using natural service and those almost exclusively using IVF. We have breeders dedicated to succeeding at commercial beef production and breeders dedicated to perfecting the form of an animal phenotypically for show ring purposes. I am so thankful for this spectrum and what opportunity it

presents for all of us as breeders. We know all to well the trade offs we make when selecting and breeding cattle. Our membership is blessed with many outstanding breeders and we can all use each other as a resource. If I fall off the deep end a little to far with performance selection I know I can regain some phenotype from another breeder and like wise if others need calving ease or fertility or cattle that require less intensive care there are breeders that can put them back on track with those parameters quickly. Even if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always claim each other, we are all connected within this great breed. As I travel either with veterinary work or ET work or with my 4H judging team I sense a new perspective and respect for our breed. We have changed the tide. Last week I was at Kansas State University at a judging camp. We saw two classes of crossbred cattle both of which had very visible Shorthorn influenced cattle in them that beat black and Charolais influenced cattle. They were good and roan and gave nothing up to the other breeds and soundly beat them in multiple decisions. Monte works tirelessly as well as the staff to represent, promote, and educate the public about Shorthorns. These efforts subsequently have improved our presence and position in the agricultural community. That does not mean we can relax our personal responsibility to ensure the staff in our association work for

us and in our best interest. We as breeders can not stop doing our part. Actually to the contrary, Monte and the staff need us to continue to encourage them and help guide them. We are fortunate because we have an executive secretary that is so capable and confident yet responsive to us as members. Of course this is the ideal relationship but it is seldom found in reality. We are fortunate to have found this in Monte. Committees are up and running and a new wave of innovation and progress is beginning. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t got involved do so. It is a great chance to assume some leadership and make progress for your fellow breeders and yourself. Finally, we need to all challenge ourselves to breed better cattle. We need to create cattle that have a broader appeal to the cattle industry as a whole. We as breeders need to challenge ourselves to sharpen our eye, our understanding of genetics and performance data and open our minds to our bigger world. At the same time to be proud of our history, which is rich, our tenacity and our courage to have remained involved in this breed and part of production agriculture. We are all in a better position in this breed today then we were 5 years ago. If we can stay the course for the next 5 years and allow our connectedness to prevail and not our differences I ensure you that you will never enjoy the rewards of owning Shorthorn Cattle more. =

One of the breed initiatives that arose from Impact Conference in 2015 was a mission to develop better Shorthorn cattle, with results evident across the breed in 5 years. Many of the minds in ASA leadership have discussed how to attack this initiative in a way to help all breeders potentially benefit. The idea of a “type conference”, much like the ones held by breed associations in the past, was mentioned, and then a new twist was put on the idea. The difficulty of putting together an in-person session where attendance and reach might be limited was revamped into the idea for a print format. With input from others in ASA leadership, Montie and I developed a list of the basic principles of breeding Shorthorn cattle. The question and answer format came about as a way to make the article easier to read and a more casual piece. This project was approached independently by both of us, giving each other

the freedom to express opinions and thoughts without outside influence. You’ll see throughout that basic ideas align between both of us while the little things might not always agree. I think that is what makes this article (and breeding cattle) so unique. We certainly hope that anyone that reads this can take away something from the project. We also realize that there will be disagreement, and that’s not a bad thing. The beauty of our business is we can all go about the same task in a different manner and still be successful. Enjoy the responses below. = Montie D. asa executive Soules secretary/CEO Matt director of Woolfolk performance programs

1. Why is a marketing plan important to your operation and the type of cattle you breed? MDS:

MW:

Your marketing plan should affect your breeding plan. Whether planning your own sale or consigning, to maximize their value, calves should be the right age at sale time. Calving time directly relates to your marketing plan. Your marketing plan also dictates the type of animal or genetics you use in your herd. This way you have the type of animal, age and genetics that fit your marketing plan!

Having some sort of plan and vision for your operation is crucial. Knowing what type of cattle you want to produce, as well as how you plan to market them, will help you stay focused on the end goal. It’s a lot easier to breed cattle to fit your plan than it is build a plan after you’ve already bred your cattle. Luckily, the Shorthorn breed has several different segments as far as market share. There’s opportunity for everyone without having to all breed cattle the same way.

2. What are the differences and similarities between the different segments of the Shorthorn industry? MDS:

MW:

This question surfaces a lot. The two major segments are 1) commercial type or performance breeders interested in marketing bulls or replacement females and 2) show type cattle. Similar animals in type and kind are acceptable for both customer bases. The show ring is selecting cattle that are more moderate and have many characteristics we see in the commercial or performance animals. Yes it is important the show animal has an attractive look; it is also important the commercial animal looks attractive to get attention in the market place. Animals in both segments should have similar body composition and must be correct on their feet and legs. Cattle with capacity, do-ability, mobility and added performance attain that extra value. EPD profiles that fit the needs of the industry is a must for all. Show cattle rarely excel in today’s competitions without an acceptable EPD profile attached. Commercial cattle selling to sophisticated buyers require an EPD profile that compliments their individual operations. Again, it is the breeder’s responsibility to select and raise cattle with proper documentation, allowing their product to excel for their buyers, in both showing cattle and selling bulls. I really think there is a myth regarding the actual differences between the two segments. Both must be high quality individuals that have performance with similar documentation. In today’s world, I see show cattle excelling in the commercial industry and commercial type animals producing show animals. It really should be interchangeable!

Even with the various avenues to breed cattle, I think there are more similarities between each segment of the Shorthorn market than there are differences. Whether your product is bulls for the commercial cattlemen, purebred breeding stock, show heifers, or Shorthorn composite cattle, I think the same basic traits matter. Structural soundness, eye appeal, and muscle shape/pattern are all important no matter what segment of the breed you target. Emphasis on performance data, productivity traits, or marketing can look different, but in my opinion the foundation for good cattle is the same for every facet of the breed.

shorthorn country = july 2018

3. What type of animal could/would fit into all segments of the breed and work successfully? MDS: As just described, I believe the same type of animal fits both needs in general. Here’s an overview description: a. Structurally correct individual that can move freely and properly i. Proper shoulder movement with a slant and ability for the

shoulder to slide ii. Flex in the rear hock so the rear leg can reach forward when moving iii. All four feet need to go in the same direction (pretty much straight forward) 1. The front feet become a little sounder if they toe out just a tad. This provides better balance. 2. Rear feet should go straight forward and step into the footprint just left by the front hoof or be close; this indicates a full stride. a. When this footprint shadowing does not occur, it is commonly the front leg lacking enough backward movement rather than the rear leg reaching forward. b. Cattle on the move should not move in their upper hip; they should move through the freedom in their legs as their hooves hit the ground. 3. Proper shoulder slant allows the animal’s shoulder to slide so the front leg reaches back to allow the rear leg to track in the same spot the front hoof was as it hit the ground. 4. The animal needs some width through the chest floor. a. This can become too wide and the animal will waddle when they walk as the movement becomes limited throughout the front end. b. Some width here is good, as it is not normal for a narrow chested animal to have the extra capacity and width in the rest of the body. i. This will relate directly to muscle and performance

b. A bovine that has a big expansion in their middle section or bold sprung rib shape is desirable

front end in our show cattle because of the added volume and capacity sought after by evaluators. But, in general, the animal prettier through the front will win more easily. k. Commercial and performance cattle that are high quality individuals with have an attractive look get the attention of the industry quicker. High quality cattle in this segment are important too. l. The looks or type of the animal will not complete the whole picture. Each segment requires documentation and performance data to have a complete individual that will excel. Cattle designed like this will excel in every segment of our industry. The extra pretty ones and individuals that have extra performance or weight will win a ribbon and the animals that may not be quite as pretty or have the WDA will make excellent performance cattle that produce high quality individuals with the longevity needed and fit a window of productivity. Remember, show animals need to go home and work in the pasture after show season.

i. There should be a shape coming off the spine that allows for larger rib expansion. 1. This can correlate with Rib eye Area (REA)

c. An animal that has a nice turn to their top with expansion in the rib shape up high

i. Not an A framed animal that looks like an upside down V when looking from the rear

d. An animal that has true muscle shape both down the top and in the rear e. An animal that has a deep enough and bold sprung rib to convert roughage when they mature i. Just being deep with out rib shape does not work. ii. The shape of a big barrel and a tuck at the bottom of the rib will define volume more than just being deep bodied.

f. An animal that does not rope walk i. Ropewalk is a term we use when the rear feet basically hit

the ground in a straight line like they are walking on a high wire or rope.

i. ii.

Have you ever observed the width of a cow path? The feet are not the same width as the hips. The animal must have some width as their feet hit the ground; if they get extra wide, they will become unsound and break down. In many cases, the animal that walks extra wide or bow legged is moving through their hip instead of in the hock. The hock should actually function like a shock absorber and flex as the animal moves.

g. An animal that does not walk extra wide and become bow legged

h. This animal should be balanced in its phenotype.

i. Moderate, not extra tall or extra small ii. Good length of body for added performance (weight) iii. Balancing out the entire look of the animal iv. Little things, like a head that is too big or too small throws the balance off or a very short-body in comparison to the rest of the animal. All the pieces should fit, basically providing a balanced view that does not have any one area looking out of place.

i. In general, I can tell pretty much what the rear of the animal will look like when I view the front end. A straight shouldered animal will not move well and the chest width will dictate the amount of natural thickness I will see from the rear. j. Today some judges in the show ring will tolerate a little more

MW: I’ve always heard that the difference between the best herd bull in the country and the National Champion should be a haircut and a bath, and I think there’s a lot of merit to that. With everyone utilizing the same foundation of traits for their market, there should be a lot of “crossover cattle”: the ones that are attractive enough to produce a show calf, with the productivity to make awesome replacement females and the performance a commercial cowman demands. I think there are more cattle in the breed that are capable of doing this than we may realize. Take a look at the bulls in the winning pens in Denver this year. Plenty of them had that complete package that could work across many herds as successful breeding bulls.

shorthorn country = july 2018

4. What type of cattle do you have to breed to be successful in each of the different segments? MDS:

MW:

The only difference is to pretty them up a little for the show ring and give them the performance and WDA to be competitive. A good one in the commercial segment will bring top dollar! Both segments require good documentation or performance data to be successful.

This ties back to previous questions in that I think there are more similarities across the breed than differences. Any Shorthorn breeder should prioritize breeding sound cattle with eye appeal. Someone focusing on commercial bulls will probably put more emphasis on performance data and EPDs, while show heifer production might focus a bit more on physical appearance and additional eye appeal, while a cow-calf seedstock guy could be more interested in udder quality, mothering ability, and productivity of his cows. There are cattle out there that can help breeders improve their herd, no matter what their emphasis may be.

5. What’s the most important physical trait to consider when evaluating cattle? MDS:

MW:

Without question, it is structure. The animal must have good sound structure from the ground up to get my attention. If there is good structure, everything else falls into place for the most part.

I think structural soundness is no doubt the most important trait to evaluate. Structural soundness is the foundation to building a long-lasting animal. Without a sturdy foundation, cattle won’t hold up. Proper feet and leg structure matters because cattle have to be mobile to get to feed and water sources. If they can’t do so comfortably, then their performance will suffer and so will their longevity in your herd. Cattle with long or curved toes, straight shoulders, or incorrect angles to their hocks will have trouble moving as easily as those with a proper skeletal design. If you watch a cow move and she has trouble putting her back foot in the track where her front foot just left, then something is probably off with her structure.

6. With beef cattle, meat and muscle are important. What should be emphasized when studying these traits? MDS:

MW:

We are in the beef business so of course meat and muscle is important. Like anything else, muscle can be overdone. When an animal develops excessive muscle, it cannot move properly and may become bow legged and break down. Their longevity suffers. We in the cattle industry have a tendency to select for extremes. Yes, selecting for extremes will help change a trait, but in reality, our product does not need extremes in the finished version. It throws everything out of balance and breakdowns will occur. Muscle is shape, so we do need some shape in the rear and down the top. If there is no shape, you will be pretty light muscled and not have the actual meat required. We accepted that look when the industry was in the frame score race and it did not work. When there is too much muscle, it takes away some of the valuable production traits needed for the cow/calf operation. To achieve the proper balance, look at your carcass data and have your replacement females ultrasound tested for carcass data. This is the most valuable information to help us raise cattle with meat and muscle while maintaining our production traits. Carcass traits are some of the most heritable traits we select for and the EPDs for this area will add value to our breed for the future! Our product needs to have consumer acceptance for sustainability and documented performance data will help this happen.

Shape of muscle is pretty important to me. Cattle that have a smooth, long muscle pattern (carrying their thickness all the way down to the lower hindquarter) instead of a round, bubbly muscle pattern are more desirable. Seeing some actual shape when I view an animal’s topline is a must for me as well. Some true width and definition of muscle before starting the curve of the rib cage lets me know that an animal has some red meat under the hide instead of just “white muscle”.

shorthorn country = july 2018

7. How do volume, rib shape, and center body capacity relate with the other traits? MDS: Capacity ties into total performance and actual rib shape. The doability of an animal is affected by volume and rib shape. The animal needs room to consume and store roughage plus it must consume enough food in the morning to meet its requirements for the day; it will seek shade and not graze later in the day. The same is true for cattle that have large pastures with feed sources great distances apart. Animals in a location with small pastures and large amounts of feed available may not need as much capacity. The more capacity they have, normally the more efficient they are - taking better care of themselves and their calves. They will provide more milk and become more fertile. It is related to having more performance, and if their structure is good, they will balance out the rest of their appearance and productivity. The rib shape generally adds to rib eye area and total weight. Having a bigger middled animal is just as important as good structure or any other trait of the cow, but going to extremes in the middle will be detrimental as well. A deep bodied animal does not mean it has extra shape. The rib needs to have a big bold turn and actually I like a little tuck in the lower rib that defines

the barrel or the midsection of the animal. We can get too much waste down low. Keeping a big, bold sprung ribbed animal that has shape or a bit of tuck down low will prevent having cattle that carry a lot of waste in their lower 1/3. Always remember that the mid-section is important to the functionality of the entire package!

MW: Shorthorn cattle need to have volume and capacity because that’s where the “gas tank” is housed: the rumen. Cattle need space to hold the feed or forage they consume. Actual shape and curve to the rib cage is more important than having a deep center body, because some of that extra belly will just be wasteful from a carcass perspective. True rib shape and body volume trumps simple body depth every time.

8. What important “productivity traits” can we evaluate visually? MDS: There are many productivity traits that can be observed on the animal. That, coupled with the documented performance information, helps us make fewer mistakes in evaluating cattle. What we observe when viewing an animal can vary. For bulls, I like to view the testicles for size, shape, and distance from the belly wall. On females that are in production, we always want to view the udder and score it. Big udders do not necessarily mean more milk. A high quality udder with good teat placement is important. The animal should have enough width for an udder to be there, going hand in hand with the previous question on capacity. For heifers, I prefer to view the udder folds from the rear to estimate the udder and possible milking ability; this carries over from dairy producers. For young heifers, it is always good to view the vulva; if very small, it may indicate a fertility problem down the road. I am a long-time believer in seeing feminine characteristics in females and masculine characteristics in males. To me, feminine means refined bones, a refined jaw bone and a nice angle in the shoulder. A female should look like a female, not like a steer. These characteristics are not 100% fool proof for success. If we find the proper confirmation and can attach the production performance data, we will have a higher degree of success.

the bag out of mud and harm’s way. A cow’s ability to breed back on time is something else I think we can see, even if indirectly. If you don’t see her open, she’s doing it right!

MW: The first one that comes to my mind is udder quality. A cow’s udder suspension and teat size will have an impact on how long she can stay productive. Teats need to be small enough that a newborn can easily nurse them, while the udder suspension is important to keep

9. For the productivity traits that we can’t necessarily see, how do we evaluate those? MDS: MW: As I mentioned in the previous answer, we need to use and rely on performance data. Today our best tools are EPDs and now genomically enhanced EPDs. We like to believe we can just look and see the answers. A major advantage emerged with the new EPD system including the one-step process (BOLT) to incorporate genomics. This adds credibility and accuracy previously unavailable to make these types of decisions. The growth traits are indicative of the performance we should expect, and the milk EPD adds to what we see in an udder. The Stayabilty EPD will line up with structure, good or bad udders, and fertility and we really have to rely on carcass trait data. This is why it is so important to have ultrasound data on your yearlings. The birth weight and calving ease EPDs carry a lot of weight. We can look at bone and maybe assume there could be calving issues with big boned cattle, but the data will reveal the facts.

By collecting performance data! The old adage “you can’t manage what you don’t measure” is certainly true. You can tell if a feeder calf looks nice in the pasture, but having a weaning weight on him gives you the ability to gauge his value at market (we still sell a lot of cattle by the pound), as well as how well his mother is producing. Calving ease, birth weights, weaning weights, breeding records, carcass ultrasound, feed intake and efficiency, and so many other traits we can collect information on to better evaluate how cattle are producing.

10. What percentage of emphasis is put on physical phenotype vs performance phenotype when making selection or breeding decisions? MDS: MW: This is a question I have been asked numerous times. Before I give you my opinion, everyone may wish to look at this a little more individually. I have seen changes over time and have put different emphasis on this subject as the data bank grows and the animals perform more in line with their EPD profile than they did 5, 10, or 15 years ago. I personally feel this is a 50/50 percentage for me today. A high quality animal with poor documentation is no different than a poor quality animal with great documentation. I personally like looking at good cattle. My process when selecting animals at a sale is to walk through the group and when I see one whose looks I like, take the time to look up the animal’s EPDs. If they fit, I consider this individual seriously. I find it a waste of time to scan the sale catalog for EPDs I think would work; when I looked at the animals, if they did not measure up with their physical phenotype, I did not want them. I developed my plan to see a good one and then check the documentation to see if it fit. If the performance data fit and the animal was good, I would go for it. If the documentation did not fit, I would walk away from the animal, regardless of how good they looked. One without the other does not give maximum value, and will subtract value in my opinion.

This may be surprising from a guy whose job revolves around beef cattle performance data, but if an animal doesn’t pass the eye test for me, I remove them from consideration before even getting into the numbers. If they don’t have the structural soundness and eye appeal needed to produce commercial bulls for my market, elite performance data can’t overcome that. Once an animal meets my standards on the hoof, then the data and numbers become pretty important to zero in on a selection decision. In fact, once I find animals that fit my needs physically, I emphasize data and EPDs a bit more than appearance. I think of it that way because for me to even get to the point of studying an animal’s data, I’m very comfortable with the physical phenotype.

11. What does “balanced EPDs” mean? MDS:

MW:

This is a more difficult to explain. I feel it is important to maintain a balanced set of EPDs on each and every animal. Balanced EPDs mean keeping all the EPDs in a similar ranking or functional level. If you desire all the numbers to be in the upper 25% of the breed ranking, then make sure all the numbers are in this position. Do not have 2 or 3 of the EPDs fall in the lower 10% of the breed. The same thing is true if you are looking at being in the upper 50% or above breed average. Do not get some in the upper 10% or 15% and some in the lower 15%. The animal’s genetic makeup will become out of balance and nutritional requirements will be different to excel in different traits. We must remember to select EPD performance data that will complement our resources for feed intake. If you select for a high milk number, you need to feed for that trait and may need to supplement the individual to produce the milk and still have enough nutrition to breed back and grow as a young female. If you do not have the resources for this, you may need to select for less milk. As soon as you select for an extreme number, it will take additional nutrition to support that trait, as well as all other traits. Cattle with high growth numbers may require more nutrition to achieve their genetic makeup. Always remember what your customer base needs. They may not have the same nutrition in their management system as you. It is important to help them select performance data that will fit their operation and their marketing plan. This may become too lengthy to explain, but I like to explain this the way a very smart nutritionist and chemist explained it to me. See graph on the right. If you design for all growth like we did when selecting for big frame scores, the animal supplies their nutrition to their liver and it sends the nutrition to the hormones that get released. Most of the nutrition gets sent to the hormones for growth and very little gets sent to milk or fertility. If we remember, we had fertility and milking issues with those frame 8 and 9 cattle. We designed the animal to be out of balance genetically for their nutritional intake. EPDs taught me to get them balanced for each trait from one end to the other. When we did this, the physical confirmation became balanced as well. If we look at those that focused on birth weight to fix this problem, many saw their growth (WW and YW) numbers drop with the birth weight. There are correlations with each trait that affect other traits. When making changes in traits and phenotype, move slowly to get consistency and keep the individual genetically balanced. That’s what EPDs can do.

To me, balanced EPDs simply mean that an animal isn’t severely deficient for any trait in their EPD profile. They don’t have to excel for every trait measured, but they sure can’t lag behind for traits of importance.

shorthorn country = july 2018

12. How do balanced EPDs and balanced physical conformation relate to each other? MDS: MW: This seems to line up almost systematically when the EPDs became balanced; the physical conformation became balanced in kind. One compliments the other and helps us avoid trouble and stops single trait selection.

I think this is the hardest question for me to answer, and I’m not sure I have a really good answer. From my experience, sometimes the cattle with “extreme” EPD profiles also exhibit an extreme phenotype that maybe isn’t what I desire. Whether they grow too much or too little, milk too hard to maintain condition, don’t milk enough and starve a calf, or whatever other trait you want to mention, I think throwing things out of balance on paper throws things out of balance in the cow as well.

13. What are the windows or baselines necessary for balanced EPDs? MDS: This answer could be different for every operation. Resources, such as type and amount of grass and feed will make a difference. My theory is to keep a big enough window to fit my operation as well as the different needs of my customer base. We will receive updated EPDs weekly instead of every 6 months; this will make a huge difference in our section process. I have my thoughts and they may not fit yours. I will share my personal experiences here to encourage you to look at your own situations. 1. Do not select for both CED and BW. Select for one or the other because a large portion of CED is BW EPD. a. I personally think we do not have a huge issue as a breed with BW i. Some individuals will create issues here, so we must stay on top of this now and in the future. b. Problem free births are most important and CED should be the indicator. c. Look at CED remember 60% or 70% of CED is BW. d. Check breed average for CED and stay above it or find the window you notice non issues occur and stay in this range. 2. WW and YW are hand in hand as growth traits. a. If you stay in the top 50%, you continue to be a breed leader. b. You should not try to be in the very top percentage unless you need to add growth. i. One area the breed needs to address is more post weaning growth or YW EPD. This does not mean to go the moon for this single trait. 3. Milk is another growth type trait because it influences WW. It is possible to have too much milk. However, it is a worse situation to not have enough milk. a. I recommend above breed average but not so much that it creates big teats and broken down udders. b. There is beginning to be a similarity for these first 3 to 5 traits to select balanced EPDs. 4. CEM fits with CED and the other traits, keeping above breed average and not extra high. The common sense here is that the bigger the cattle, the less calving problems. If you get this to an extreme, the animal may become too big. 5. Carcass Traits: These are high heritable traits in general and too much carcass will take away from some productivity traits. Again, above breed average will make a contribution but make sure they are not in a takeaway situation for your customers; try to not get to an extreme. This one can be difficult because packers do not desire huge rib eye areas, but they still make minimum requirements and marbling affects grading. A high marbling with an average size rib eye fits. You can have the same amount of marbling in a bigger rib eye and it will show up as being poorer in percentage to the rib eye area. Here again, balance is the perfect word. a. Above breed average should work. Keep away from extremes for any one individual carcass trait. 6. Stayabilty tells us the longevity and fertility of the animal. Again, it is a must to be above breed average.

7. The indexes aid in easier decision making on genetic selection. a. For example: $BMI brings a lot of the traits together. If I use $BMI, I have incorporated all the traits that influence this index. See Graph. And I only need to remember one number instead of 4 or 5. b. $CEZ is of course Calving Ease; it incorporates traits associated with calving ease c. $Feedlot compiles all the carcass traits into one number.

MW: The best way I can handle this one is to simply speak from experience. For what I’m doing with breeding cattle, I never focus on a single trait, and extremes are not something I pursue. I always look for better than average CED, and I have grown to emphasize CED over BW. For growth traits (BW,WW,YW), I want to see better than average EPDs, but getting into the top 10-15% for them starts making calves that are too small, or animals that require more nutritional resources than I have to reach their growth potential. I can handle more high extremes on carcass traits, especially REA and MARB, because those are traits that haven’t been emphasized in the family herd and need improvement. I emphasize selection indexes, in particular the maternal and carcass indexes ($BMI and $F in Shorthorns). For other traits that I don’t place heavy emphasis, if I can keep them close to breed average, it works for me for two reasons. First, it helps keep that balance previously mentioned in check. Secondly, and this isn’t a typical answer here, customers tend to shy away from animals who are in the bottom 10-25% of the breed for a trait, even if it’s something they don’t care about. It could be a mental block, but keeping all EPD numbers at acceptable levels has helped maintain value in our bull market.

Final Thoughts MDS:

MW:

I will summarize by saying when a range or window is determined there is no difference in selection between the top and bottom number of the range. Treat the window as one and all numbers inside the window are acceptable. For instance, if I am judging a show and my acceptability based on the breed averages is 1-4 for BW. If it fits, it fits, no differences for being 1 or 4. If you stay disciplined with your window or ranges, within a year or two you can pretty much look at the animals and breed them. The numbers will be in place as long as you ensure any new additions fit your window. Now you can breed to good ones for total conformation.

If we took any number of Shorthorn breeders, from 10 to 100, and asked them the same questions Montie and I just answered, I think we would notice that the opinions on major themes between each breeder would be similar, while there would certainly be varying thoughts on some of the points discussed. The fundamentals of quality cattle are the same across the industry, but the little things that set individual breeders apart in the marketplace will vary. It all starts with a solid plan and sound cattle. From there, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about fine tuning your breeding program to meet your goals and satisfy your market.

In closing, Matt and I have approached this independently. You will see the same theory in our selection process. I likely have given a more detail based on my 35 years of breeding cattle before coming to the Shorthorn Association.

= Since you asked... Frequently Asked Questions Question

Heather customer service, Lange registrations, DNA

Answer

I’m trying to log into my account, but it isn’t doing anything.

Make sure that you are using the dash in the member number (xx-xxxx). Also, make sure you aren’t using Internet Explorer. It is not conducive to our website.

I have started to register a calf, but I’m missing an AI certificate. Can I save my work?

Yes. The “Validate” button is essentially our “save” button. Once you click it, your work will be saved. There are 2 ways to get back to your work: a) On the left-hand menu, click “Work Queues”, then “Birth Recording”. Here you should see pending work orders. Click on the work order number to be directed back to where you left off. b) On the left-hand menu, click “View” under “My Account”. In the middle of the screen click on the tab that says “Kickouts”. Now click on the corresponding work order number. **this applies to missing DNA as well.

Can I pay for my work through the website?

Yes. On the left-hand menu, click “View” under “My Account”. Here, you will see the balance due on the right side. Click the red “Pay Online Now” button to be directed to our secure credit card site. Be sure that the billing information listed corresponds to that credit card.

Can I print pedigrees from home?

Yes. To print a certificate, click “View” under “My Account”. Here, “Herd” should be highlighted in the middle of your screen. Underneath it, click “All” to pull up the list of all of your animals. Find the animal you are looking for and click “View” to the right of its information. This will pull up the animal’s detail screen in a separate window. Towards the top-left of the screen, you should see its registered name, number, tattoo, etc. Underneath that, click on the “View Certificate” button. This may take some time to load. Be sure to print in color, double-sided, and fit-to-page to make it the official copy. ** The only reason you won’t be able to print a certificate is if there are pending payments on your account. Make sure those are paid up, and you’ll be fine.

Where do I go to find the animals that I have recorded but did not register?

When you go to your general profile page (by clicking “view” under “my account”) you will notice that “herd” is highlighted in green in the middle of the screen. Underneath that tab, a little to the right, you’ll see a tab called “unregistered”. Click this and you will find all of the recorded, but unregistered animals.

When I am transferring an animal, there are 3 lines. Why?

With the ASA, you can have up to 3 owners on an animal. Therefore, if you are only transferring to one person, just work with the top line and leave the other 2 be.

The Shorthorn website is down. Can I still use Digital Beef?

Yes. If for any reason our shorthorn.org site is down, you can go directly to the login page by typing shorthorn.digitalbeef.com in your browser.

I’m trying to transfer an animal to a non-member. Can I still do this online?

Yes. To put a person into the system as a non-member follow the instructions below. 1. If you don’t know the member number that you are transferring to, click the small white box next to the buyer box to conduct a search by zip code. Enter the zip code of the buyer and the click Find Profiles. 2. Select the desired buyer from the list. If the buyer is not listed, create a new profile by clicking Create New Profile located at the very bottom of the listed names. Please look closely at the buyer list before creating a new profile to avoid duplicates in the registry. 3. Enter the new buyer information and click Run Standardization to verify the address. Then click Save Profile. 4.Once you have saved the profile, you will need to click the small white box again and the member will be in the list of members to choose from. Once you click on the member, their member number will appear in the options buyer box. =

= Junior Corner Reflecting on My Past Three Years I hope everyone had a great time at the NJSS in Madison, Wisconsin! The past three years has been one of the most amazing experiences I have had. If you have ever thought about wanting to run for the Junior Board I would highly encourage you to go for it. It will be some of the most fun you’ve had, I can guarantee that. The first year I was on the board was one for the books. I was given many opportunities that I wouldn’t have gotten without being on the board. I met some of the greatest people by being a part of the Junior Board. The best part about my first year on the board was getting to travel to Denver for the first time! It was truly a fantastic time. The second year was even better than the first. Between the shows and meetings, I traveled all over the country. We also hosted our KEY conference out in

shorthorn country = july 2018

California that year! That was a tremendously fun event. We toured a dairy farm and learned about some of the struggles they faced with the strict restrictions they face in California compared to back in the Midwest. We also toured a rice farm and learned about how they are working on opening trade markets across the world! One of the most interesting tours was the fish farm where we see all phases of growth of the fish. My final year on the board was the best yet. Between the past board members, and the current ones on the board, as well as my past advisor and current, I have made some of the greatest friends I could have asked for! This year the junior board made some exciting changes for junior nationals and hopefully it proves to be changes for the better. Without stepping out of my comfort zone three years ago, I would have nev-

We’ve had Shorthorns since 1974 and have always demanded our purebreds function like our commercial cows. That means they have to thrive on forage (including fescue), breed on time, calve unassisted, shed their hair in the summer, maintain sound feet and udders for years, and produce marketable calves.
