Premier Show & Sale of British Blue Cattle

Conditions of Warranty

Taking care to settle a newly purchased bull properly will assist in ensuring that you have many years of good service from him.

Under the terms of the NBA Bull Breeding Warranty the purchaser is required to maintain the animal in normal breeding condition, in accordance with the rules and practice of good animal husbandry and management, as referred to in clauses 4.2 and 6.1 and 8.1.4.2.

Following purchase the Society would require a purchaser to adhere to the following points to fulfil the requirement of ‘Good husbandry and management’

1) The bull is not used within one month of the date of purchase

2) Ensure that the bull is in ‘Breeding condition’ before use

3) In consultation with the vendor, maintain the bull on its current diet and only introduce any new feed gradually

4) When the bull is first used, try it with 1‐2 smaller cows first, in a yard on a non‐slip surface, so he is introduced to service gradually and safely. Observe him closely to ensure that he is inseminating the cow properly

5) Once you are satisfied that these cows are not returning then put the bull out with the rest of your cows. 20 to 25 cows is a maximum in the first year

6) British Blues bulls are warranted fertile from 20 months of age. It is not recommended that a bull is used prior to this age

7) It is a fact that ‘British Blues’ as a breed, sexually mature, 4‐5 months later than some other breed’s please bear this in mind

Failure to observe the above could invalidate a claim under the Bull Breeding warranty.

THE BRITISH BLUE CATTLE SOCIETY

Terms and Conditions of Sale, incorporating Bull Breeding Warranty and Female Breeding Warranty

Cattle sold at sales held under the auspices of the British Blue Cattle Society are warranted under the terms and conditions of the National Beef Association Bull Breeding Warranty and Female Breeding Warranty, a copy of which is available from the Auctioneer’s office. Both vendors and intending purchasers are strongly advised to familiarise themselves with the full terms and conditions of this document.

The facility exists within the NBA Warranty for certain clauses to be tailored to the individual requirements of a breed. Part of a clause so tailored is denoted by an asterisk (*).

The amendments affecting the Warranty of British Blues are as follows: ‐

Clause 4.1 ….it is capable of getting stock by natural service from 20 months of age

Clause 4.2 ….on attaining the age of 20 months (whichever is the later)

Clause 5.3 ….Every cow under the age of 8 years at the date of sale….

Clause 5.4 ….Every cow under the age of 8 years at the date of sale….

Clause 8.1.2.1.b ….from the date when the bull attains the age of 20 months….

General queries relating to this Warranty should be directed to the The National Beef Association; however specific warranty claims should be directed through the Auctioneers, bearing in mind that ‘time is of the essence’

It is a condition of sale, that where a warranty claim on a bull is upheld, that the purchaser shall agree to the Society, or its agent, on behalf of the vendor, should it choose to do so, of having access to all calves that he has bred in the last 12 months, along with their dams if necessary, for the purpose of undertaking DNA parentage checks.

EXPLANATORY NOTES FOR CATALOGUES Only British Blue GROUP BREEDPLAN EBVs or INTERIM EBVs with Accuracy (Acc) can be validly compared between herds.

ESTIMATED BREEDING VALUES (EBVS)

The EBV is the best estimate of an animal's genetic merit for that trait.

ACCURACY

CARCASE

CWT: Carcase Weight EBV (kg) estimates the genetic difference in carcase weight at a standard age of 650 days.

EMA: Eye Muscle Area EBV (cm2) estimates genetic differences in eye muscle area of a 300kg dressed carcase. More positive EBVs indicate better muscling on animals.

FAT: Rib Fat EBV (mm) estimates the genetic differences in fat depth at the rib in a 300kg dressed carcase. More positive EBVs indicate more subcutaneous fat and earlier maturity.

An accuracy value is presented with every EBV and gives an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of that EBV. The higher the accuracy the lower the likelihood of change in the animal's EBV as more information is analysed for that animal or it's relatives. Accuracy below 75% should be considered low.

RBY%: Retail Beef Yield Percent EBV (%) represents total (boned out) meat yield as a percentage of a 300kg dressed carcase. A more positive EBV indicates higher percentage yield for the 300kg carcase size.

CALVING EASE Calving Ease EBVs are based on calving difficulty scores, birth weights and gestation length information. More positive EBVs are favourable and indicate easier calving.

IMF%: Intra-muscular Fat Percent EBV (%) is an estimate of the genetic difference in the percentage of intra-muscular fat at the 12/13th rib site in a 300kg carcase. Depending on market targets, larger more positive values are generally more favourable.

DIR: Direct calving ease indicates how this animal influences the birth of its progeny.

DTRS: Daughter’s calving ease indicates how well the animal produces daughters that have easier calving.

BIRTH AND FERTILITY

GL: Gestation Length EBV (days) is based on AI records. Lower (negative) GL EBVs indicate shorter gestation lengths which generally relate to easier calving and increased growth after birth.

BWT: Birth Weight EBV (kg) is based on the measured birth weight of animals, adjusted for dam age. The lower the value the lighter the calf at birth and the lower the likelihood of a difficult birth. This is particularly important when selecting sires for use over heifers.

SS: Scrotal Size EBV (cm) is an indicator of male fertility in regards to semen quality and quantity. Higher (positive) EBVs indicate higher fertility. There is also a small negative correlation with age of puberty in female progeny.

GROWTH

MILK: 200-Day Milk EBV (kg) is an estimate of an animal's milking ability. For sires, this EBV is indicative of their daughter’s milking ability as it affects the 200-day weight of their calves.

200: 200-Day Growth EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of animals taken between 80 and 300 days of age. Values are adjusted to 200 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal's genetic merit for growth to early ages.

400: 400-Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 301 and 500 days of age, adjusted to 400 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal's genetic merit for yearling weight.

600: 600-Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 501 and 900 days of age, adjusted to 600 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal's genetic merit for growth beyond yearling age.

MWT: Mature Cow Weight EBV (kg) is an estimate of the genetic difference in cow weight at 5 years of age. Smaller, or more moderate EBVs are generally more favourable.

INDEXES An index combines the EBVs with economic information (costs and returns) for specific market

and production systems to rank animals based on relative profit values. Note that the different types of animals can give similar profit values, so you should also consider both the index and the component EBVs when selecting animals for your production system.

BBB Carcase Yield Index (£’s) - Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow mated for an example commercial herd targeting the EU market with no marbling requirement. All progeny are assumed to be marketed at around 550-580 kg live weight (280-320 kg carcase weight) at approximately 19 months of age.

Bulls with a higher BBB Carcase Yield Index will have a greater genetic potential to sire heavier finished progeny. As there are no maternal traits included in the calculation of the BB Carcase Yield Index, bulls with a high Index will not necessarily be suitable for breeding heifer replacements.

BBB Pedigree Breeding Index (£’s) - This index (£ per cow joined) targets herds that breed their own replacement cows and bulls and slaughter progeny from large framed cows.

Steer progeny are slaughter at around 16 months of age at 620 kg live weight (360 kg carcase weight). The main EBV emphases are on weight, carcase retail beef yield and calving ease.

The index estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow mated for a herd targeting the EU market with no marbling requirement. With this in mind, the index also identifies suitable replacement breeding animals by also considering the maternal and fertility traits of the animal. Therefore, both direct and daughters calving ease are included in the index.

This index is only reported for animals with at least moderate accuracy for the key traits.

Animals must also be in the top 50th percentile or better for Calving Ease Direct, 400 Day Weight and Retail Beef Yield % EBVs. The British Blue GROUP BREEDPLAN Estimated Breeding Values contained in this Sale Catalogue were compiled by the Agricultural Business Research Institute (ABRI) from data supplied by the breeders. Neither the British Blue Cattle Society nor the ABRI oversee or audit the collection of this data.

This document is published to help members select cattle of the right type and specification, for entry into prestigious sales, held under the auspices of the Society. It also sets out criteria for the Society’s Volunteer Inspectors to work to, which in turn, facilitates uniformity across all Society sales. Apart from meeting the minimum standards stated below, pedigree cattle should also conform to the Society’s Bylaws, number 1.1 of which states: “The definition of the breed’s characteristics is as follows: A long, large bodied beef animal with fine bones, double muscle, sloping rump and hidden hips, strong legs and correct mouth. Coat colour can be black, white, blue, or any combination of these colours that is acceptable to the Council.”

1. The ear tattoo should be clearly legible and the letters and numbers agree with the pedigrees. Animals born after 1 January 1998 require no tattoo, on condition that they have been double tagged, as per Ministry regulations 2. Animals must conform to minimum heights and weights specified by the Society’s Council. See over for the detailed charts 3. Teeth and jaws should be correct in terms of position and bone structure. A degree of latitude shall be allowed where an animal is cutting teeth. The Chief Inspectors decision is final, with regard to acceptable jaw and teeth configurations.

4. The testicles and sheath shall be checked for correctness. Testicles should be of good conformation and consistency, with the epididymis showing definition. The minimum circumference of the scrotum between 10 and 24 months is shown overleaf. Animals over 24 months must have a minimum scrotal circumference of 30cm.

EMBRYOS

5. All animals must be in good, healthy condition and free from signs of infectious diseases, such as Viral Warts, Live Ring Worm etc. (A Veterinary certificate must accompany animals if previously treated, this treatment must have been carried out at least 14 days prior to the sale), Mange, New Forest Disease, Lice.

The Council of the British Blue Cattle Society would urge all potential vendors to adhere strictly to these notes when entering cattle into official sales and to seek advice, prior to the sale, if they are uncertain as to whether an animal will pass.

This will avoid the disappointment of any of their cattle being rejected by the Inspectors.

6. All animals should be able to walk correctly, on the day of inspection, with no genetic defects. The general mobility of the animal should be acceptable for practical use and not be detrimental to the breed’s reputation. Bulls with an exceptional conformation will be allowed a degree of latitude with regard to mobility

(521512500L)

Should any cattle be rejected, it is the vendor’s responsibility to ensure that the Lot Number is sprayed in red at the time of inspection. Such cattle may be sold privately from the pens, the sale going through the auctioneer’s books.

Rejected animals may not be sold through the pedigree or commercial ring at a Society sale SAFETY A Vendor must not enter for sale, any animal with a potentially dangerous temperament. The Society’s Inspectors have the right to demand the immediate removal, from the sale and the sale premises, of any animal, which, in their opinion, demonstrates a temperament, which could be dangerous to the public • • •

•

All Animals Must Be Halter Trained No Animal Shall Have Horns It is a statutory requirement that any bull over the age of 12 months, sold through a public auction, shall have a ring in its nose The objective of the Official Society Inspection is primarily in place to raise the breed standard and the inspection panel’s decision is intended as a purchasers guide only. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the suitability of an animal for their particular requirements. By bidding for an animal the intendedWEIGHT purchaser accepts the Societies and Auctioneers conditions FOR AGE of sale, the animal being theirs at the fall of the hammer.

3 Month Rule – No calf, whether pedigree or commercial, under the age of 3 months will be accepted for either the show, or sale DATA:12670_Graceland:DATA:S-T FILES:Taafe Auctions:Taaffe British Blue:Supplied:Criteria Revised Oct 10.doc

All cattle must be in the market by the time specified by the Society or the Northern Ireland British Blue Club, on the day of the show, unloaded under the supervision of the BBCS, in order to be presented for inspection at the start of the stated time. Council hopes, by complying with this regulation, all cattle will have been inspected, washed and in the appropriate sale pens prior to any pre-sale inspection by prospective purchasers, thus giving a more orderly outlook to the sale.

All pedigree and grade registered cattle will be sold in guineas (multiples of 105p), and all crossbred cattle will be sold in £’s. Commission will be charged on pedigree cattle at the rate of 5% + Vat, of which 2% + Vat is a levy due to the Northern Ireland Blue Cattle Club, with the exception of commercial cattle, commission on which will be charged at the rate of 2.5% + VAT, 1% + VAT of which is a levy due to the affiliated Northern Ireland Blue Cattle Club.

No stock may be removed from the sale pens without either a receipted account or an authorised pass and, in the interests of orderly marketing, both vendors and purchasers are requested to comply with the reasonable requests of the auctioneers’ staff.

7

No warranty, other than any stated above or herein, is given or implied in any respect whatsoever.

Intending purchasers should note that time is of the essence in respect of any condition of sale, warranty etc., and in complying with any such conditions or giving such warranties, be they stated or implied, it is the stated intention of each vendor that any compensation should in no circumstances exceed that stated, and purchasers will be deemed to have purchased in the full knowledge of this.

Whilst the auctioneers will do everything possible to assist in the settlement of any dispute which may arise, it must be accepted that a sale by auction involves a contract entered into by the vendor on the one part and the purchaser on the other part and that these are the two parties which must, perforce, be involved in any settlement. The auctioneers’ part as intermediaries must be seen to be of assistance only, except where they are obliged, under the conditions, to make a pronouncement.

9.

“It is a condition of sale, that where a warranty claim on a bull is upheld, that the purchaser shall agree to the Society or its agent, on behalf of the vendor, should it choose to do so, of having access to all calves that he has bred in the last 12 months, along with their dams if necessary, for the purpose of undertaking DNA parentage checks”.

10

Notice to Purchasers The objective of the Official Society Inspection is primarily in place to raise the breed standard and the inspection panel’s decision is intended as a purchasers guide only. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the suitability of an animal for their particular requirements. By bidding for an animal the intended purchaser accepts the Societies and Auctioneers conditions of sale, the animal being theirs at the fall of the hammer ADDITIONAL NOTES. It is compulsory that all females sold as “warranted in-calf” are pregnancy diagnosed before sale time, and whilst the date of the certificate may be within one month of the sale day, the Society strongly recommends that the inspection is carried out as close to sale day as is considered appropriate. Such certificates should be handed to the auctioneers for record purposes.

All Pedigree cattle are sold under the terms and conditions of the National Beef Association, bull and female breeding warranties.

IMPORTANT - At all times the BBCS reserves the right to alter in any way the order of sale in the interests of its members, at its sole discretion and without prior notification.
