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

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

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

HELP YOUR AI TECHNICIAN PROPER RESTARINT n Proper placement of the semen is a very speciďŹ c procedure and it is one of the main factors inuencing success rate. Just like in a
work shop where one uses a clamp or a vice for control to allow precision, it is crucial that the cow is properly restrained to maximise success. Proper restraint means that side to side and forward and backward movement are minimized.
n Concentration is required for precision n Avoid speaking with the technician as he is inseminating the cow as this will distract him from a very precise procedure
Safety n To ensure adequate restraint and the comfort and safety of man and beast, the crush should have a non-slip floor. n Avoid penning a suckler cow/heifer on her own for AI as she may become stressed and difficult to handle and inseminate
TIMING OF AI
46
n The best time to inseminate a cow is when she is in standing heat and up to twelve hours later. If it is longer than twelve hours after
the end of standing heat the results from A.I. will be reduced.
Maximise success of AI in Suckler cows
Oestrous Synchronisation and Fixed timed AI
1. Cow must have an easy calving. Match your cows to sires that they are capable of calving easily. Difficult calvings is one of the biggest causes of cows being slow to return to service. Heifers that are calving at 2 years need an exceptionally easy calving sire
1. All cows calved 35 days are A.I.’d on one day at a predetermined time without heat detection. You can decide which day to AI 2. Repeats will occur in close proximity, facilitating heat detection, you will know in advance when planning your 1st AI when the repeats will occur 3. Synchronisation resumes cyclicity in all non- cycling cows, this will increase the 3 and 6 week calving rate. It is possible to get 90% calved in 6 weeks 4. A compact group of cows can be presented for scanning. 5. Compact calf crop for ease of management and sale 6. Even though you will inseminate them in one day, they will calve over a two week period.
TO Achieve targets
2. Cows must cycle within 55 days of calving to achieve a calf per cow per year. Break the strong Maternal-
OFFspring bonding
This is a superb way of getting Autumn calvers and 1st calvers cycling. The easiest way to do this is to separate the calves from the cows from day 30 after calving, allowing them access for twice a day suckling only. For the autumn calving cows indoors, a door in the creep area to an outside paddock can be opened to allow the calves out to grass. The time to first heat will be reduced by 4 weeks. 80% of cows will exhibit a fertile heat by day 45, however, about 10% will not respond. These are often the cows in poor BCS. In addition to the cows cycling sooner, the calves are out most of the time resulting in reduced disease issues, less bedding used and heavier calves at weaning - A winner all around.
Note: When heats are due in a group of cows indoors depending on the group size, it is best to lock the calves in the creep area to avoid injury to them. It is also prudent to take away the vasectomised bull at the time of maximum activity to avoid injury to him. Recommended synchronisation regime for beef cows 35+ days calved at time of treatment Day
PRID or CIDR insertion + GnRH at insertion
Day 7, am, (Monday)
PRID or CIDR removal + prostaglandin + 400 iu eCG i.m. at time of removal (Indoors put crayons on cows, outdoors use crayons or scratch cards)
Day 8 (Tuesday)
Cows will start to show standing heats late pm and through the night. Record cows in heat and active
Day 9 (Wednesday)
Most heats expected. Inseminate all cows observed in heat. (i.e. cows observed in heat in the evening are inseminated the following morning and vice-versa).
Day 10 (Thursday)
Continue heat detection and inseminate cows observed in heat. Alternatively, inseminate all cows not observed in heat at 72 hours post CIDR or PRID removal and administer GnRH to these cows at time of insemination.
Achieve high conception rates.
Achieving High Conception Rates 4.
a. Nutrition around breeding: avoid fluctuations in feed supply, keep cows on a rising plane of nutrition b. Extra feeding after calving will not compensate for poor BCS at calving, both are necessary c. Discuss a herd health strategy with your vet d. Ensure cows receive all vacinations 3 weeks prior to breeding e. Ensure cows are dosed for parasites- Fluke & Worms prior to breeding f. Ensure cows are in a socially stable group; avoid mixing cows from different groups during the breeding season especially 1st calved heifers f. Mineral supplementation is necessary to supplement the silage ingested Accurate & Efficient heat detection. i. Adequate space is necessary to allow mounting for heat detection; increased stocking density indoors reduces heat expression and more false heats will occur ii. Mounting activity and duration of mounting is reduced where under foot conditions are slippery and when cattle are on concrete
Action
Day 0, am (Monday)
Nutrition and BCS
The higher the BCS at calving the quicker the cow will resume cycling post calving, a BCS of 2.5+ is ideal. Extra feeding after calving will not compensate for poor BCS at calving. Cows on poor BCS 1.75 will not cycle until 71+ days after calving while cows in good BCS 3.0+ will be cycling by day 55. 3.

HEAT DETECTION AIDS
THE VASECTOMISED BULL
A vasectomised bull with a chin ball is the best method of heat detection for suckler cows and heifers.
PRE-BREEDING
• • • • •
The bull must be well-grown and similar in Fig. 1 size or taller than the females to be detected, this is especially important indoors. Vasectomise the bull a minimum of eight weeks prior to he being required. Fit with a nose ring to facilitate easy application of the chinball. Pad the chin ball at the back of the neck and the noseband. Put the chinball on one week prior to breeding, without paint; this allows the bull get used to the device and avoids paint wastage.
BREEDING
•
• •
Check the chinball regularily, especially in the first month of use; adjust as required to Fig. 2 ensure a snug fit. The mark after mating is shown in Fig.2. This is your proof that the female has been on heat. Avoid situations where the vasectomised bull may get hurt e.g. if you have a group of synchhronised cows inside, remove him overnight to avoid injury to him.
CRAYONS
Crayons work on the same principle as tailpaint and are very convenient to use. Rub the crayon to the rump in an area 9 inches by 1 inch. For maiden heifers come a little further down the tail.
SCRATCH CARDS
•
• • •
48
Scratch cards are an excellent method of heat detection in both cows and heifers. ‘Estrus detect’ cards come in a roll of 100 with a can of ‘scotch weld glue’. The card is glued to the rump area The card is silver initially, when the cow/ heifer is on heat the silver is scratched off and the bright colour underneath is revealed Renew the card each time the day after the animal has been on heat

MYOSTATIN GENE (MH) The Myostatin (MH) gene is a recessive gene found in all mammals and influences the production of a protein that controls muscle development. Natural mutations cause a deletion in the bovine myostatin i.e. the myostatin protein is missing so the muscles keep growing, resulting in the double-muscled phenotype. There are nine known mutations (variants) of the myostatin gene in cattle, some of which are breed specific and others which occur in more than one breed. Six of the nine variants are classified as ‘disruptive’ (nt821, Q204X, C313Y, E226X, E291X, NT419), as they cause double muscling along with, among other traits, larger birth weights and increased calving difficulties. The other three variants (F94L, S105C, D182N) are referred to as ‘non-disruptive’ and while they increase muscularity with reduced external and intramuscular fat, they do not alter birth weights. The three main mutations that occur in the breeds commonly used in Ireland are F94L, nt821 and Q204X. Animals that carry two copies of a variant are known as ‘homozygous’, animals with one copy are known as ‘heterozygous’ - both will exhibit increased muscularity, with homozygous animals exhibiting greater muscularity. Animals that are homozygous and heterozygous for the six disruptive variants are known as ‘myostatin carriers’; their results are displayed showing the variant they carry e.g. Q204X/Q204X and nt821/+. Results of animals that are free of the disruptive variants of myostatin are displayed as ‘+/+’.
EFFECTS OF MYOSTATIN
The carcases of double-muscled cattle kill out up to 19% higher than cattle that don’t exhibit double muscling. This is due to a combination of increased muscle mass, reduced body fat, reduced bone mass and smaller internal organs. When muscle weight gain per unit energy intake is taken in to account, double-muscled cattle have better feed efficiency. Meat from double-muscled cattle tends to be of better quality due to a combination of increased tenderness, reduced fat content and a higher proportion of polyunsaturated fats. The presence of Myostatin mutations has a beneficial effect on the carcass traits. However, difficulties may occur when carriers of the six disruptive MH variants are mated to each other leading to the potential for calving difficulty as a result of increased birth weight/ compromised calving ability. This however can be avoided through knowledge of the status of both the male and the female in the mating.
VARIANTS
Variant F94L, sometimes called ‘the profit gene’ has a V High frequency in Limousin cattle; many have two copies i.e. are homozygous. This variant has been found to increase the size of muscle fibres with no associated increase in calving difficulty, or lowered fertility or longevity (non-disruptive). Variant nt821 is commonly found in the Belgian Blue and Parthenaise breeds with lower frequency occurring in the Limousin, Shorthorn and Angus breeds. Homozygous animals exhibit: greater loin depths, large rounded rump and thighs, reduced fat cover and greater meat tenderness. However, unlike F94L, homozygous animals may also have slightly heavier birth weights and compromised calving ability in the females. Heterozygous animals (nt821/+) exhibit the above characteristics albeit to a lesser extent. Variant Q204X is commonly found in the Charolais breed and with lower frequency in the Limousin breed. Homozygous animals exhibit: greater loin depths, large rounded rump and thighs, reduced fat cover and greater meat tenderness. However, they may also have heavier birth weights and slightly reduced milking ability and calving ability in females. Heterozygous animals (Q204X/+) exhibit the above characteristics albeit to a lesser extent. The status of our sires is available in the catalogue and online. In line with our policy of providing all of the information we have available
on our sires, we have printed the Myostatin status of all of our bulls in our beef catalogues for the past year. The status of your females can be ascertained through genotyping. Knowing the status of both parents helps you, the breeder, to tailor the desired outcome of a mating to your preference.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Genotype all of your females. The myostatin status can be ascertained by Weatherbys once the genotype has been done. If you want a MH-free herd (+/+), eliminate the carrier breeding females and use non-carrier sires only. If you want to reap the improved carcass benefits of MH+ animals whilst limiting the negative aspects, then work with
heterozygous animals e.g. (nt821/+), (Q204X/+). Do not mate heterozygous males with heterozygous females. Mate noncarrier females with heterozygous/homozygous bulls. Continue to genotype both breeding females and males to establish the MH status pre-breeding. In addition, assess calving ability of the female using visual assessment and the daughter calving index. If you want to breed animals with extreme muscling use homozygous bulls with heterozygous/homozygous females. Beware that the extra muscling may result in increased birth weights and reduced calving ability of females. A Myostatin genotype is a further item of information that will help you achieve your breeding goals, when used in conjunction with the index, knowledge of the pedigree and visual assessment.
