INDEX OF SIRES
Dear friends, Welcome to the 2011 Autumn World Wide Sires Beef Sire Directory.
ANGUS
The dynamics of the beef industry are constantly changing and during the past 12 months the dynamics have certainly changed. The one constant is our commitment to providing a high quality caliber of AI Sires to Australian Seedstock and Commercial Beef producers.

Genomics have taken a big leap forward over the past 12 months. We now have Angus EPD’s that are enhanced by DNA results from Igenity and Pfizer. In February the American Angus Association released carcass and RADG EPDs incorporating Pfizer HD50K for Angus results. With the Igenity component already included, the Association's carcass weight, marbling, ribeye, fat and RADG EPDs now benefit from both Angus-specific genomic results.

In April 2011 Angus Australia Angus Breedplan will now incorporate genomic MVP’s from the Pfizer HD50K in 7 EBV traits. In our directory we will identify all sires that have genomic enhanced EPD’s or EBV’s with the G-Force symbol next to their relevant EPD or EBV table.

In 2010 we travelled to the USA to inspect many of the sires featured in this directory. We pay particular attention not only to the individual sire but also his pedigree, progeny, siblings, the environment he was raised and the program that bred him. It’s a combination of all these factors that gives us the confidence to offer these sires to Australian producers.

RED ANGUS
We understand that we need to offer a variety of sires to meet the various needs of Australian Beef producers and to “Cover All The Bases”. If you require sires that can offer maternal traits, longevity, calving ease and fertility or sires that offer more terminal traits such as high carcass merit, rapid growth and high $Index Values we have a range of sires that meet these requirements.
14AR2041
We have had a great response to the release of our “ Super Sampler “ sires and will continue to release new “Super Sampler “ sires as they become available. Please remember the number of units available at the “Super Sampler” price is limited.

With EBV’s being updated monthly and Angus EPD’s being updated weekly data on sires can change rapidly. I encourage you to: Visit our website: www.wwsaustralia.com.au

TERMINOLOGY ANGUS SIRES CAB: Meets the criteria for Certified Angus Beef’s (CAB) Targeting the Brand. CAF: Has been tested “Free” of the gene for Contractural Arachnodactyly. AMF: Has been tested “Free” of the gene for Arthrogryposis Multiplex. NHF: Has been tested “Free” of the gene for Neuropathic Hydrocephalus. HEREFORD SIRES DLF: Has been tested “Free” of the gene for the Dilutor genetic abnormality. IEF: Has been tested “Free” of the gene for the Idiopathic Epilepsy genetic abnormality. HYF: Has been tested “Free” of the gene for the Hypotrichosis genetic abnormality. RED ANGUS SIRES MAF: Has been tested “Free” of the gene for AlphaMannosidosis. OSF: Has been tested “Free” of the gene for Osteopetrosis. PERFORMANCE DATA BIRTH WT. (BW): The weight of a calf taken within 24 hours after birth. ADJUSTED WEANING WEIGHT (WW): An unshrunk, off-the-cow weight adjusted to 205 days of age and to a mature-dam age equivalence. ADJUSTED YEARLING WEIGHT (YW): An unshrunk weight adjusted to 365 days of age. SCROTAL CIRCUMFERENCE: A measure of testes size obtained by measuring the distance around the testicles in the scrotum with a circular tape. Related to semen-producing capacity and age at puberty of female sibs and progeny. FRAME SCORE: A score based on subjective evaluation of height or actual measurement of hip height. This score is related to slaughter weights at which cattle should attain a given quality grade or attain a given amount of fat thickness. HETEROZYGOUS: Genes of a specific pair (alleles) are different in an individual (e.g., Aa). HOMOZYGOUS: Genes of a specific pair (alleles) are alike in an individual (e.g., AA or aa). POLLED: Naturally hornless cattle. Having no horns or scurs. POLLED/SCURRED: Individuals who are polled with scurs. HOMOZYGOUS POLLED: Bulls which have a 99.9% probability of being homozygous polled, having been test mated to horned or heterozygous polled cows. You should expect these bulls to sire all polled calves. HOMOZYGOUS BLACK: These bulls have a 99.9% probability of being homozygous black, having been test mated to red and heterozygous black cows. You should expect these bulls to sire black calves when mated to red or black cows. NON-DILUTER: These cattle do not carry the dilution gene. The dilution gene causes black coat color to be gray and red coat color to be yellow. PAP (Pulmonary Arterial Pressure) SCORE: A prediction of an animal’s welfare at high altitudes and susceptible to High Altitude Disease (HAD), also known as Brisket Disease. Scores under 45 are favorable. SIRE EVALUATION DATA EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCE (EPD): The difference in performance to be expected from future progeny of a sire, compared with that expected from future progeny of the average bull in the same test. EPD is an estimate based on progeny testing and is equal to one-half the estimate of breeding value obtainable from the progeny test records. EPDs for growth traits are generally expressed in pounds, either as a plus difference or minimum difference from the population average. EPDs are generally reported in the units of measure of the trait, (e.g., pounds, cm, cm2, percent, etc.)
ACCURACY (ACC): The reliability that can be placed on the expected progeny difference (EPD). An accuracy of close to 1.0 indicates higher reliability. BIRTH WEIGHT (BW): Calf weight at birth adjusted to a mature dam equivalent. Expected progeny performance is reported in pounds. The EPD value predicts the difference in average birth weight of a bull’s calves compared to calves of all other bulls evaluated. A positive value indicates heavier-thanaverage birth weights while a negative value (-) indicates lighter-than-average birth weights. CALVING EASE (DIRECT): The ease with which a bull’s calves are born to first-calf heifers. A first-calf heifer is defined as a female calving for the first time at 33 months of age or less. Expected progeny differences are reported as deviations in the percent unassisted births. When comparing calving ease EPDs of two sires, the larger EPD indicates a higher percent of unassisted births for calves sired by this bull. WEANING WEIGHT EPD (WW): A sire’s expected progeny difference (lb.) for 205-day, mature dam equivalent weaning weight. A sire’s weaning weight EPD is an indication of growth to weaning. It does not indicate milk production. YEARLING WEIGHT EPD (YW): A sire’s expected progeny difference (lb.) for 365-day, mature dam equivalent yearling weight. RADG EPD - RADG allows producers to characterize Angus genetics that will perform more efficiently in a post weaning feeding environment. It provides a balanced approach to identify cattle that, with a given quantity of feed, will still perform at industry acceptable levels. RADG is presented in pounds (lb.) per day, with a higher value being more favorable. YEARLING HEIGHT (YH): A predictor, expressed in inches, of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling height. SCROTAL CIRCUMFERENCE EPD (SC): A predictor, expressed in centimeters, of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size. DOCILITY (DOC): A tool to increase the probability of docile calves from one sire compared to calves of other sires. The EPD is expressed as a genetic difference in percentage units, with a higher value being more favorable for calmer temperament. DAUGHTER EVALUATION MATERNAL MILK (MILK): The maternal ability of a bull’s daughters. Expected progeny performance is expressed in pounds of calf weaning weight. The EPD value predicts the difference (due to maternal ability) in average 205-day weight of a bull’s daughters’ calves compared to calves of all other bulls evaluated. MATERNAL WEANING WEIGHT (MWW): The weaning weight of a bull’s daughters’ calves. Expected progeny performance is reported in pounds. The EPD value predicts the difference in average 205-day weight of bull’s daughters’ calves compared to calves from daughters of all other bulls evaluated. The evaluation reflects both the maternal ability of a bull’s daughters and the growth potential of their calves. MATURE DAUGHTER WEIGHT EPD (MW): A predictor of the difference in mature size of a sire’s daughters expressed in pounds. MATURE DAUGHTER HEIGHT EPD (MH): A predictor of the difference in mature daughter height of a sire’s daughters expressed in inches. MATERNAL CALVING EASE (MCE): The ease with which a sire’s daughters calve as first-calf heifers. Expected progeny differences are reported as deviations in the percent unassisted births. HEIFER PREGNANCY (HPG): A tool to increase the chance of a sire’s daughters becoming pregnant as heifers during a normal breeding season. The EPD is expressed as a genetic difference in percentage units, with a higher value being more favorable. STAYABILITY (STAY.): The expressed difference in probability of daughters staying in the herd to at least six years of age. Since cows are usually only culled for being open before six years, the EPD is primarily a measure of sustained fertility in female offspring.
CARCASS EVALUATION CARCASS WEIGHT EPD (CW): A predictor, expressed in pounds, of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny at a given end point . MARBLING EPD (MARB): An expression, as a fraction, of the differences in a subjective USDA marbling score of a sire’s progeny at a given end point. RIBEYE AREA EPD (REA): A predictor, expressed in square inches, of the differences in rib eye area of a sire’s progeny at a given end point. FAT THICKNESS EPD (FT): A predictor, expressed in inches, of the differences in fat thickness of a sire’s progeny, between the 12th and 13th ribs, at a given end point. SHEAR EPD: An EPD developed from the WarnerBratzler Shear Force (WBSF) test where the pounds of Force are measured to shear a steak. This is a measurement of tenderness. The more negative the number the more tender. YIELD GRADE EPD (YG): Carcass yield grade score at 475 days. BIO-ECONOMIC $VALUES ANGUS WEANED CALF VALUE ($W) is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for preweaning merit. $W includes both revenue and cost adjustments associated with differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk, and mature cow size. COW ENERGY VALUE ($EN) assesses differences in cow energy requirements, expressed in dollars per cow per year, as an expected dollar savings difference in future daughters of sires. A larger value is more favorable when comparing two animals. FEEDLOT VALUE ($F) is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning merit compared to progeny of other sires. GRID VALUE ($G) is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit compared to progeny of other sires. QUALITY GRADE ($QG) represents the quality grade segment of the economic advantage found in $G. $QG is intended for the specialized user wanting to place more emphasis on improving quality grade. YIELD GRADE ($YG) represents the yield grade segment of the economic advantage found in $G. $YG is intended for the specialized user wanting to place more emphasis on red meat yield. BEEF VALUE ($B) is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. SIMMENTAL ALL-PURPOSE INDEX (API) Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters required to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield. TERMINAL INDEX (TI) Evaluates sires for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield. HEREFORD BALDY MATERNAL INDEX (BMI$) A maternally focused index that has a production system based on 1,000 Hereford x Angus females with a progeny harvest endpoint directed toward CHB. CALVING EASY INDEX (CEZ$) A general purpose index that focuses on identifying bulls that can be used on heifers and then ultimately the calves will be marketed through CHB. BRAHMAN INFLUENCE INDEX (BII$) A maternally focused index that is based on a 1,000 head cow herd of Brahman x Hereford cross cows. The progeny for this index will be harvested in a commodity based system. CERTIFIED HEREFORD BEEF INDEX (CHB$) A terminal sire index that is built on a production system where Hereford bulls sire calves for the CHB market.
A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF EBVS AND $INDEX VALUES The following is a brief description of Angus GROUP BREEDPLAN EBVs and Breedobject $Index Values and Accuracies. For a more detailed explanation of these please refer to the Angus Society of Australia web site (http://www.angusaustralia.com.au). ACCURACY (%) ~ Provides an indication of the reliability of an EBV. As more performance information becomes available on an animal (or it’s progeny, or relatives) then the accuracy of it’s EBVs for particular traits will increase. See Understanding Accuracies (http://www.angusaustralia.com.au/BP_Understanding_Accu.h tm) for a more detailed explanation. TRAITS OBSERVED ~ Indicates those traits that have been recorded and are contributing to the EBV’s calculated for an animal. (These should appear directly below the table displaying the animals EBV’ s). CALVING EASE DIR (%) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in the ability of their calves from 2 year old heifers to be delivered without assistance. CALVING EASE DTRS (%) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in the ability of their 2 year old daughters to calve without assistance. GESTATION LENGTH (DAYS) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in the number of days from the date of conception to the calf birth date.

NET FEED INTAKE TRAIL (KG/DAY) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals for feed efficiency. Long fed / Certified Australian Angus Beef $ Index ~ based on a high fertility self replacing commercial Angus herd where steers are grown out to be long fed for the high quality, high marbled Japanese export market. Selection of animals using this index will increase IMF % of your herd, and emphasis is also placed on 600 day growth. Short Fed Domestic $ Index ~ based on a high fertility self replacing Angus herd selling feeder steers and heifers for the short fed domestic feedlot trade. Emphasis is placed on growth to 400 days and high carcase yield while maintaining fertility and marbling.
