Flying B

PB Simmental Reg. 2341498 Sire Flying B Prime Cut (by TE McCredie); Dam by: GW Bright Light

Homo. Black Homo. Polled

Flying B Cut Above His progeny are extremely thick, is fondly known good footed, and sleek fronted down south as with super "show- ring" profile.

This is the baldy outcross we’ve all been waiting for in a purebred Simmental.

He’'ll work excellent on Dream On and Meyer 734 pedigrees, not to mention that he’'s perfect to use on Angus and clubby cows to make halfblood Simmy's.

Style

simply lit up Denver!

He commanded $101,000 at the Bases Loaded Sale. It was hard to ignore Style’s phenotypic presence while he was on display all week. His full broth­ er, Trubador, was a Division Champion in the bull show, and his older brother, El Capitan, was widely talked about for the great calf crop he sired this past season. We recommend you inject some Style this year!

“Captain Obvious progeny were the talk of the yards at the 2010 National Western Stock Show. A Captain son sold for $7900 at the public auction, and 5 Captain sons averaged an amazing 1.29 REA/cwt in the Lakeside pen. Sullivan Farms also purchased a flush out of Captain's dam! Count on Captain Obvious to moderate frame, add guts, and work on your heifers, while maintaining and even improving structural soundness. We are also excited to see what Captain's son, Nitro, will produce this spring.” — Lance Ellsworth — Cattle Visions

The females sired by Harwood 209 that have sold at the Foundation Female Sale in the past 3 years have averaged $3,780, and last year they averaged $4,400. Not bad for a bull that has only been used for clean up on a set of Angus cows. He has sired more baldies than any other Meyerinfluenced sire we have used and by far the most consistent in quality. Many top club calf producers have started using Harwood 209 and have found just how great he works.

It’ s not all about the big name and pretty picture.

WalkerArticle by Dr. Paul Walker, Professor of Animal Science, Illinois State University

A Perspective on the Animal Welfare/Animal Rights Debate In today’s society, there is an increasing level of horizontal concentration within the retail food industry, resulting in fewer players in this market. From fast food to the grocery store, a shopper has a limited variety of brand name, mega corporations from which to procure food. Additionally, animal activist groups such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) have pushed their agendas upon consumers by publicizing rare and regrettable occurrences of neglect, abuse, or other inhumane treatment. Consequently, mega retailers like Wal-Mart, McDonalds, etc. are attempting to be proactive by limiting their purchases to “welfare friendly” operations.

However, the idea of welfare is poorly defined, and definitions vary from person to person. As a result, retailers have set arbitrary standards that animal producers must meet in order for their product to qualify for sale in the retailers’ outlets. These standards include stipulations ranging from nutrition regimens (antibiotic and growth promotant exclusion) to lifestyle (from group housing for pregnant sows, to cage free systems for laying hens). Because producers have limited options as to where to sell their animals, they must acquiesce to retailers’ demands. However, retailers and the activist groups are using little to no scientific evidence upon which to base these standards. This has potential to cause all sorts of problems for producers.

A relatively few retailers have great power to affect the way in which the public views animal agriculture. By giving heed to the activist agenda, retailers validate the activist argument despite the lack of any clear scientific consensus. For example, when a business such as Mc Donald’s agrees that sausage must be produced by farms in which sows are housed in groups, it leads consumers to believe that this is a problem/issue that must be solved. This feedback loop fuels the fire of the activist agenda to end animal agriculture. For just a handful of super retailers to have this power poses a scary proposition because farmers will be (as opposed to maybe) forced to bend to these whims or go out of business.

By requiring changes in management from the normal, traditional way in which animals are produced, capital costs may increase to the point at which it will be unprofitable for some producers. Small scale operations may be particularly affected by these financial burdens. When the public thinks of animal production and ideal animal welfare, it is not uncommon for the average person to elicit visions of an “Old Mac Donald” farm with a few of each animal (ie. here a pig, there a duck, everywhere a cow) rather than the large scale production facilities of modern agriculture. However, the “Old Mac Donalds” of this industry are the ones that may be forced out of business if unprofitable management practices are forced upon them, practices that may have no beneficial impact for animal well being. Large scale confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) may be able to weather this storm, as they can probably afford to absorb the negative financial burdens that may be associated with the arbitrary changing of animal management practices.

So, it would seem that research and development may be the key to solving this problem. In fact, some management strategies enforced by such giants as McDonald’s and Burger King have resulted in processing plants improving their methods for handling live animals and for humane slaughter. This result has seemed to genuinely aid animal welfare, as one can-

not argue that an animal that is calmer and not frightened has a higher level of welfare than one that is constantly fearful.

On the other hand, implementation of large scale housing decisions may, in fact, be detrimental for animal well being, due to the lack of any clear consensus in the superiority of one housing method or management strategy over another, and the large array of confounding variables by which methods can be compared. The differences in the welfare level of animals in various housing environments are not clear cut.

Perhaps these mega food marketing corporations should put their money where their mouth is by providing funding for well designed, objective science based research before they attempt to impose nationwide changes to management practices in another industry.

If society is to continue the trend towards concentration of the retail food sector (Walmart currently accounts for 29% of all grocery sales), then someone must provide a check on the power these businesses wield. Individuals and collective members of society have a duty to fulfill this role. Each and every consumer has an obligation to enlighten themselves about the ways in which their food has been produced.

Consumers should become familiar with the reasons producers make decisions and practice farming the way that they do, rather than clinging to the idyllic notion of “Old Mac Donald.”

Consumers should stop assuming that mega retail corporations have the animal’s best interest in mind, and realize that much of the retailers concern for animal welfare is just a marketing ploy with the animal activists threatening retaliation if the food retailers do not comply. Retailers want consumers to feel good about the food products they purchase.

Animal agriculture must unite and rally the support of all agriculture organizations including the corn and soybean growers. American citizens must be educated. The animal rights groups must be challenged and their vegetarian agendas exposed for what they truly are – elimination of animal agriculture. Animal agriculture in the US could be on the verge of collapse. When food animal production leaves this country, and when the US is food dependant, being energy (foreign oil) dependent will seem inconsequential. Our associations (IBA, NCBA, NPPC, IPPA) while actively reactive, must become more proactive perhaps even aggressive in providing leadership in the animal welfare/animal rights debate. More funding for objective animal research must be provided. However, agriculture will not win the debate based on scientific research alone. This issue is about perception and emotion. More consumer information in the form of advertisements and infomercials must be published in popular consumer magazines. Consumers want to eat meat but they, also, want assurance that animals enjoy life, are comfortable and have a humane death. Perhaps animal agriculture should develop its own “Animal Welfare Organization” and employ a charismatic CEO who can be a dynamic spokesperson for animal welfare. The credibility of organizations like HSUS and PETA must be challenged. Americans need an alternative organization they can trust.

Andrea is a graduate student evaluating the effects of sow housing alternatives on sow well being and performance. t h e s h o w c i r c u i t . c o m April 2010

BusinessArticle by Matthew E. O’Donnell, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney

Healthcare Planning: Practical Consideratoins for a ‘Graying’ America, Part I Modern medicine has made great advances, giving a child born in the U.S. in 2000 an average life expectancy nearly 30 years longer than one born in 1900.1 But healthcare has no cure for old age.

Today, more than 36 million Americans are 65 years of age or older, making up approximately 12% of the total population. And by the year 2030, that number could grow to 71 million, a staggering 20% of the population. 2 Yet as this tidal wave of Baby Boomers prepares to enter retirement, both employers and the government are cutting back on low-cost healthcare benefits.

More and more, responsibility for America’s healthcare price tag is shifting to individuals and families. Medicare faces constant cost pressures, and some people are concerned that the program may eventually become insolvent.

Premiums for employer-sponsored insurance have increased 87% cumulatively from 2000-2006, compared to a 20% increase in wages and an 18% increase in overall inflation.3 In addition, employers are moving to limit the benefits and coverage they will offer to current and future retirees.

With maturing Americans living longer, more vital lives, how will they afford the growing cost of healthcare— especially for situations involving long-term care? While various forms of insurance typically cover routine doctor visits and emergency medical situations sufficiently, coverage for ongoing long-term healthcare needs is often limited and restricted. Paying for long-term care needs can quickly deplete even substantial savings.

Many Americans are rightfully concerned, and there are indications that rising healthcare costs are hurting their household finances. Even wealthy individuals view this issue as a major threat to their family’s long-term financial well-being. According to a Citigroup Smith Barney Affluent Investor Poll (May 2006), about seven in ten of those surveyed had concerns about being able to pay the cost of long-term care in their retirement years.

Whatever form governmental healthcare financing may take in the future, we will all shoulder some part of the costs. Wise planning now can make a great difference in how financially prepared you will be to handle the medical needs of retirement. This series of articles provides a brief introduction to some of the major programs and issues you should consider when planning your healthcare finances— both now and for retirement.

Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance: The first line of defense If you belong to an employer-sponsored healthcare program, regardless of your age or health, keep it! The premiums, deductibles, prescription drug and co-pay charges available through a group health plan can be a bargain in comparison to individual health insurance. If you are changing employers, sign up for the new employer’s plan as soon as you join the company (generally within the first 30

178

April 2010 t h e s h o w c i r c u i t . c o m

days). Many large plans will have no limitations on preexisting conditions, but that may only apply if you sign up immediately upon becoming an employee. If you wait and do not have proof of existing coverage from another source, additional charges or limitations may apply.

The government’s COBRA legislation (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985) instituted a variety of safeguards for workers and their immediate family members to maintain healthcare coverage if a “qualifying event” occurs. These include death of covered employee; termination or reduction of hours (whether resignation, discharge, layoff, strike, or other cause); divorce, which normally terminates an ex-spouse’s eligibility; or a dependent child reaching an age or status for which coverage is excluded. In 1996, the government added further healthcare coverage and protections under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. While these are helpful, they generally place a greater burden of cost upon the individual.

Health Savings Accounts: A new tax-favored strategy for healthcare savings If you are currently employed, you might consider a Health Savings Account (HSA). The Federal government introduced these accounts in 2004 to help people save for both current and future medical expenses. To qualify, you need to have medical coverage under an HSA-approved high deductible health plan (HDHP). Check with your employer’s benefits department to see if they offer an HDHP alternative, which typically charges lower premiums than the regular group coverage and may, for some, balance out the higher deductible. If not, you can also contact your state insurance department to find insurance companies qualified to sell these plans in your state of residence.

There are significant advantages to HSAs. They are triple tax-favored: annual dollars you are allowed to contribute are deductible on your Federal tax return even if you don’t itemize; assets in the account can be invested and the earnings grow tax-free; and withdrawals from the account for qualified medical expenses are also tax-free.

HSAs are fully portable, meaning you can keep your account even if you change jobs or medical coverage, become unemployed, move to another state, or change your marital status.

Oklahoma Club Calf Association - Apr ‘10 The sun is shinning bright, and the day is a beautiful spring day, yet it’s almost as if it were the night before Christmas. The trailers are packed, the fans are hung, the calves are full, their hair is clipped and popping, we await tomorrow when we leave for OYE in hope of blue and purple ribbons in our boxes for the lucky ones who have won the race to the championships. We all strive to win, but the smiling faces of all tell the true story of the real friendships and the camaraderie that is developed.

When the market grands in each of the species are selected Sunday evening, it brings to a close another year in the lives of the Oklahoma junior livestock exhibitors, an experience like no other. From the competition of our market animals and breeding stock, to state showmanship finals and also state fitting and grooming finals that climax county competitors to become eligible for these contests. Another event that gains in popularity every year is the Legislative Show, which has exhibitors from all counties with their calves, lambs, pigs and goats in our Super Barn Arena with Senators or House members from their home district in the ring showing the animal, while being assisted by the youth who own the animal. This not only gives one-on-one communication, but an understanding that we as livestock producers need with today’s political leaders. Much has been said about the good of this program. Then the grand finale of the Grand Market animals, which is a spectacle second to none. All breed and reserve breed market exhibitors are hauled into the main arena in stretched limousines, under the flashing lights and the spot lights are the only source of lights in the arena. The red carpet is rolled out and each exhibitor is introduced individually, then all grand and reserve grand trophies and banners are lowered on a round stage from the top of the coliseum as each exhibitor brings his or her animal into the ring to prepare for the grand drive. The applause and noise is deafening as the lights come on and judging prepares to take place.

If you ever have a chance to see this, it is spectacular and unforgettable.

With this, we close our point year and another begins with shows on the schedule, so get your membership in force immediately and don’t miss a one. Remember, our Oklahoma Junior Beef Expo in April at Stillwater is our year-end awards banquet, with awards in every breed and showmanship, as well as our All-Around Awards and scholarships.

Until next time, may all your calves be champions and your experiences be memborable. Sincerely,

Lyle Blakley, OCCA President

Missouri Club Calf Association Missouri Juniors, Friends, & Family..

We are off to a great start…. let’s keep up the good work everyone! We still have some MCCA hats ($15) and mugs ($8) available – you can save by getting one of each for $20! All process will go towards awards at our celebration at the State Fair. Or consider being a sponsor! The more sponsorship we get – the more we can do for the kids! We can even add you as a link to our website.

Couple of new things this year: 1. We are offering a Composite Charolais breed Division (registration papers required)! Each show is not required to have every breed division we offer, so if you are ever in that situation, but want your points to go towards the breed you have been showing as – just send one of us an email!

2. This year we are also going to offer awards to the exhibitors of individual high point animals.

3. Shows – please get your results to us as soon as you can, we would like to see them within 2 weeks of your show date. One month after the show, if results have not been received, a $50 penalty will be enforced.

If you ever have any questions –or a great idea you think might work for the MCCA - feel free to contact one of the committee members. We’d love to hear from you!

Digging through the reproductive toolbox and finding your advantage Historically, cattle breeders have used conventional embryo transfer (ET) on the top 2-4% of their cows. The bottom of the herd is used as recipients, and artificial insemination (AI) is used on the rest. The result provides for a greater impact from a few of the best cows, and a 50:50 distribution of sex ratio.

Today, innovative producers are using in vitro fertilization (IVF) and sexed semen on heifers, pregnant cows, or even problem donors. They still use conventional embryo transfer, often with sexed semen, and use AI on some of the cows as well. Often, they will use recipients from cooperator herds or from their ET supplier. The innovative producer is also using cloning technology to produce genetic twins of their very best cow or sire to even further impact the use of the tools described above.

The genetic gain is vastly accelerated, and the sex ratio is greatly skewed, producing nearly twice as many heifers (or bulls) when desired.

In order to successfully incorporate the reproductive tools, let’s review some of the reproductive technology options that are available to today’s progressive producer.

Embryo Transfer Embryo transfer is one option that can increase a cow’s reproductive efficiency, allowing her to have numerous calves per year. While the average cow produces six to seven calves in her lifetime, ET can increase her reproductive efficiency to numerous calves per year – allowing breeders to multiply the success of their superior pedigrees and breeding lines.

Embryo transfer is a very accessible technology and produces the option to have embryos transferred live into synchronized recipients, or to have the embryos safely frozen to be transferred at a later date.

By creating more offspring that are valuable to a herd, breeders can advance their marketing opportunities and improve the reproductive performance of their herd.

In Vitro Fertilization Breeders who choose to use the technology – In vitro fertilization (IVF) – have the opportunity to obtain more offspring from valuable females in their herd. IVF is a technology that allows breeders to collect offspring from donors, pregnant cows, virgin heifers, as well as problematic females that have had difficulty in conventional breeding attempts. It is also possible to retrieve oocytes (unfertile eggs) from donors shortly after a death event to produce one final genetic harvest.

When compared to embryo transfer, IVF may further maximize the potential of an elite female in a shorter time period, as the interval between IVF aspirations is shorter than the interval between traditional embryo transfer sessions. It is possible to obtain two IVF cycles per month whereas most embryo transfer programs will collect donors every 60 days.

While conventional embryo transfer generally requires the use of two to three units of semen per donor, IVF can be used to maximize the value of rare, sexed, or expensive semen. One unit of semen can be applied to oocytes from up to eight different donors, or semen from several different bulls may be used to fertilize a group of oocytes harvested from an elite female.

There is a perception in the industry that IVF is a more costly option. However it actually becomes more cost effective than traditional embryo transfer on donors that produce limited numbers of embryos. This fact, coupled with the opportunity to increase the number of calves, the sex ratio of the calves and the ability to increase the opportunities for collection, makes IVF a leading choice for the savvy producer looking to increase the number of offspring that create the most value in his/her program.

April 2010 t h e s h o w c i r c u i t . c o m

Sexed Semen When breeders decide that one gender may be more valuable than the other in relation to their breeding program, they can employ the use of sexed semen. Using the technology of sexing semen, breeders can increase the chances of genderchosen offspring.

Recent techniques to “reverse sort” semen (sexing semen from a previously frozen straw), used in conjunction with IVF, has provided breeders with the option to provide frozen semen from nearly any sire of their choice, have it sorted, and use it in their herd to create calves of the desired gender.

For breeders looking to speed up genetic advancement within their herd in order to meet immediate demand, the combination of IVF and sexed semen is a beneficial and logical choice.

Genetic Preservation In the past, the death of an elite animal inherently meant that the genetics were no longer useable by the breeder. The technology of genetic preservation allows a breeder to store an animal’s genetic DNA in liquid nitrogen, allowing it to be used any time in the future for testing or cloning purposes. It allows the owner of elite animals to preserve tissue on any cow, heifer, bull or steer, well beyond the animal’s death.

Genetic preservation allows breeders to protect their investments and preserve the option to multiply that investment later through the technology of cloning. The cell line is typically created from a simple ear punch. In females, oocytes can also be used to create a cell line.

The cost of genetic preservation is often favorable to purchasing mortality insurance. It also provides for the option of replacing or extending the genetic impact of a superior cow or bull in a herd. An intermediate step, Express Tissue Bank (ETB), is also now available for producers that would like to preserve the genetics of a large number of animals, with the intent to clone only an elite few as additional information is harvested in the future.

Cloning After an animal’s genetics has been saved through genetic preservation, breeders have the option to clone. Cloning is the technology in which a genetic or identical twin is created from an original animal or genetic donor. The genetic twin is just born at a later date in time. The genetic preservation or cell line created from the ear punch of a genetic donor is used as the building block to transfer the genotype in the cloning process. The clone will carry an exact copy of nuclear DNA as the original animal.

Cloning allows breeders to recreate the genotype of a superior animal, providing a source to extend their genetic influence.

Breeders most often look at cloning as a technology to: • Produce a genetic copy of an elite animal no longer capable of producing embryos or semen (including steers).

• Reproduce a genetic copy of an elite animal that has died.

• Produce quantities of elite individuals for the purpose of largescale, consistent genetic influence within a herd-building program.

In summary, the “new” reproductive tools will not completely replace the use of the existing tools of AI and conventional embryo transfer. The new tools of sexed semen, cloning and IVF are the next step in the continuum of innovation.

They provide for even greater impact, predictability and genetic gain. Today, innovative and early adapter producers will use these tools to improve their herds and gain a competitive advantage. In the years to come, as genomic evaluation provides greater insight into the predictability of an individual’s traits, innovative producers will find these tools to be crucial in the replication of superior outlier genetics.

Drifter is extremely unique when considering his pedigree. All that have seen him in the flesh are amazed by his impeccable design, overwhelming style and power of structure for a calving ease Maine-Anjou sire.

Drifter is a third generation calving ease bull, who is quickly proving himself to be extremely consistent by siring low birth weight calves, in a stout, hairy, long necked package. Last summer, we searched the countryside for an Ali son that was bigger boned and footed, freakier necked, bigger and squarer hipped, shaggier haired, with a pedigree that could stack up any richer than Drifterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and we failed to accomplish our mission. Drifterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandmother was raised by Core Farms, IA and goes back to the Sweet Cheeks cow from Jirl Buck. Calf photos to follow.

Use Dream Catcher to make the type of Simmental cattle everyone dreams of owning.

Although not heavily promoted, judging by his consistant calf crop, most admirers feel the buzz is just getting started. For best results, use Interstate on small to moderate females or those clubby carrier females to produce smoky steers or big time show heifers. Tested TH and PHA free.

Order Semen Today! Toll Free At 877-312-2855 This a real testimonial from a very happy family with the quality of calves we have had in the last two years. Just to let you know a little bit about our operation, we have been AIing cows for about 30 plus years now. In all this time, we have never used bulls like this before. Last year we used Naughty Pine on 16 cows and sold every singe calf. Our only mistake was we should of used a lot more. This group of calves has made several of our customers very happy and these calves are winning at all levels state and national. We also used a few straws of Eye Candy and sold all of these calves also. The fertility of these bulls are outstanding. Very few re-breeds using Trausch’s bulls. I was so overwhelmed that my son, couple of his friends, and myself went out to Iowa to see these bulls in person and we weren’t disappointed at all. They are the real deal. Chris Wilson and his family are very personal people. I would suggest to anyone to go look at these bulls in person. The calves so far this year out of Naughty Pine and Eye Candy are better than last years, if that’s even possible. In closing, I guess what I like best about these people is they are not into playing games with the customers. The price of the bulls stay consistent. The cost isn’t up and down. - Steve Watson

Warrior was the top selling bull at the 2010 Denver Maine Sale. He is sired by the late great Ali a proven sire of champions and top sellers. Warrior’s dam is loaded with maternal legends like FR Magic, Draft Pick, and Smithbuilt, bulls which made a lasting impact on the cattle industry. The time is right for Warrior. In recent years we have all been striving to add more rib and power to our programs and most of the time we have had to sacrifice some of the looks to get that highly demanded power. Here is the one with that added power, rib, and body with looks to kill!
