Riley Round Up for MS Celebrates 5th Anniversary
Despite being a cold, drizzly day, on Dec. 3, 2016, 147 head of cattle and exhibitors from 3 states converged on North Texas to show in the annual benefit show. With proceeds from the event, the Riley Round Up for MS has now raised $37,000 for the National MS Society since it’s inception. Founder Jim Riley of Whispering Pines, an active ACA member, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2007.

Increasing Data Collection Support from ACA Will Help You and the Breed Succeed Andee Marston, Chief Executive Officer Calving season will be in full swing by the time you will be reading this. I hope that everyone is beating the weather and enjoying the beginning of a prosperous spring. Hopefully the selection of bulls and breeding decisions you have made will have a positive impact for the you and your customers. With the March/April issue comes the “Genetics x Design” insert. For the second year in a row we are allowing members to feature their A.I. sires. This special insert will again be printed separate as well and distributed at any events or tradeshows we attend across the country. Andrea has been working diligently to ensure that the American Chianina Journal continues to grow and look amazing. Jennifer and Cheryl continue to provide the best customer service of any breed association that I have been a part of. I can tell you these two ladies work tirelessly to make sure we help everyone pertaining to Chianina cattle. I know that we do not thank them enough for everything that they do for the association. The competition at the National Western Show and the Fort Worth Stock Show was very strong. If I remember correctly the last class of the day in Denver featured the Grand Champion and Reserve Champion Chianina Heifers and Reserve Champion Junior Heifer from Louisville plus the Third Overall heifer from last summer’s National Junior
Heifer Show. These young exhibitors came loaded for bear and should all be proud of how well the Chianina breed was represented in Denver. Not just in that class, but all the way through the show. In Fort Worth, it was no different. The quality of cattle was something that both Dr. Ken Culp our youth show judge, and Matt Copeland, open show judge, marveled about during their closing statements to the crowd. Afterwards, Matt and I visited and he admitted that he was impressed with the quality and mentioned that the Chiangus females were exceptionally impressive. Chianina cattle have been a cornerstone of beef production in the US. I am sure everyone would be bored with a history lesson of Chianina cattle in the USA. The fact remains that we can still make an impact on the beef industry. We need to get more documented proof of what Chianina influenced cattle offer. As breeders and enthusiasts, we need more data to prove that our cattle will do what we preach. We need you to turn in good weights and contemporary groups. With the advent of the new Whole Herd Enrollment program we are working on bringing in more good data. If you have any questions about how Whole Herd Enrollment can work for you, please call me. Breeders that utilize ultrasound and genomic information I would implore you to turn that information in to improve our
PAGE 6 | CHIANINA JOURNAL | MARCH | APRIL | MAY 2017
data. This in turn will allow us to better promote Chianina genetics. If we are going to be commercially viable we need to have the best data we can get our hands on. Andrea and Lindsey Broek from the American Maine-Anjou Association have been busy working to make the National Junior Heifer Show a great event for the youth and their families. If you get a chance please come join us in Hutchinson, Kan. the last week of June. We are anticipating a great show and a great time spent with the Chianina family. Look for more opportunities to help support the NJHS with our online sale coming in April. Please call Andrea to consign items to the online sale. We have good things happening here at the ACA. The next Board Meeting will be held on March 23-24 in Talmo, GA at Talmo Ranch. We would like to thank Wayne and Jill for being gracious enough to host us. The board of directors are here to represent the membership. Please visit with your board member or at-large director to help us help you. We are here as a member based organization to promote and advance Chianina cattle. If you feel there is a solution to better the breed, we are always ready to listen.

Here in Indiana, we haven’t had much of a winter. We have had spring like temperatures, even reaching into the low 70’s and thunderstorms. Makes for a great winter, but we all know that March can still bring those cold and snowy days. Hoping we stay with the warmer weather! I want to congratulate all of the winners from Denver and Ft Worth. With both shows in the books, it’s time for spring sales and the show seasons to begin! It’s time to start thinking about the National Junior Heifer Show which will be held in Hutchinson, KS, June 23-30 along with the Maine-Anjou Association. This will be an opportunity where new friendships begin and memories are made! I know the Kansas crew and the Junior Board have been working very hard to make this a great Junior National. ATTENTION ALL YOUNG LADIES AGES 16-21! This is your chance to represent our wonderful breed as being our National Queen. The queen contest will be held during the National Junior Heifer Show. Each contestant will need to send a recent photo, a resume outlining your ACA/AJCA cattle activities and shows, along with your school and community activities, and a short essay explaining why you feel you should be chosen as queen. The lucky girl who is named the National Queen will receive a tiara, a sash and a pendant. The National Queen is required to attend the National Junior Heifer Show held in the summer and the North American International Livestock Exposition held in Louisville, Kentucky, all other shows are optional. Anyone who is interested in running for queen needs to contact Kelsey Evans at 859.553.3059 or getthebluetub@gmail. com. Entry deadline is MAY 1, 2017.

AJCA UPDATES
Junior Nationals Will Be One to Remember! Join Us for the Fun! by Shelby Manning
Hey y’all! I hope everyone has been enjoying their winter and is having a successful calving season. It may be the last thing on your mind at this point, but Jr. Nationals is rapidly approaching us and it’ll be here before we know it! The AJCA board members have been working hard to make this one to remember! Some folks have been attending our national junior heifer show for years and years on end, yet they never seem to get tired of it. I’m one of those people. Our show in Hutchinson, Kansas will be my 10th Jr. Nationals, and the values of attending are still just as important as they were back in 2008. By packing up all your stuff and going to this weeklong extravaganza, you’ll go home with a lot more than just 10 loads of dirty laundry. There is so much more to this show than winning grand champion. Gaining connections, travelling the country, making friends, and broadening your horizons are all reason enough that Jr. Nationals is one of the best things you could possibly experience. By participating in the contests the Maine and Chi associations offer, the possibilities are endless for what you might learn. One of my favorite contests to participate in or watch is the quiz bowl. Not only is it beneficial to participate in, but it’s also fun! Even if your team doesn’t win, you still gain new knowledge on Chi cattle/the beef industry. The Chi association has benefited me in so, so many ways. Two years ago, I decided to run for the AJCA Board and I was lucky enough to get on. It is very rewarding to be able to give back to the association that I was raised in. I strongly urge anybody who is involved in the Chi breed to run for Jr. Board! If you have never attended Jr. Nationals before, this is the year to go! Everything’s coming together and it looks like this might be one of the best ones yet! I wish you luck for the rest of this season, and I hope to see you all in Kansas!!

HEALTH UPDATE
Immune Priming and the Value of Calf Management by Kindra Gordon
At an early morning Cattlemen’s College® session Feb. 1 during the 2017 Cattle Industry Convention in Nashville, Tenn., Victor Cortese took attendance by asking cowcalf producers to raise their hands. He then joked that the stocker and feedlot operators in the room had better take a good look at those cow-calf folks because, he said, “Your problems start there.” Cortese, a veterinarian and director of cattle and equine immunology for Zoetis, explained that he made that point to underscore that more and more research indicates calf health in the first 60 days is paramount to the long-term performance of the animals. He added, “A calf ’s highest genomic potential is the day they are born, and then we start to screw it up.” That said, Cortese emphasized that research in the area of “perinatal programming” is looking at what is important to the calf after it’s born to help it reach its full genetic potential. (The term “prenatal” refers to the time before the calf is born.) Thus, cow-calf producers have a crucial role to help put calves on their best path for performance. As one example, research during the past decade suggests colostrum is not only important to the immediate health and immunity of the calf — but colostrum’s biggest impact may actually be in influencing PAGE 14 | CHIANINA JOURNAL | MARCH | APRIL | MAY 2017
a calf ’s long-term performance. Cortese reports that researchers are finding that the presence of hormones, insulin, leptin and relaxin — all found in colostrum — are responsible for influencing long-term feed efficiency, gain, appetite and management of stress. Of this emerging research, he says, “Colostrum transfer is one of the best predictors of how calves will do.” Cortese also shared that research findings suggest that the more growth a calf has in the first 60 days of life, the more efficient that calf will be throughout its life. Cortese suggested a good rule of thumb is to double a calf ’s birth weight by about 60 days. A second area of emerging research that Cortese shared with attendees was the concept of “prime boost,” which he described as utilizing — and properly administering — vaccinations to cattle at different Photo by Reagan Clarahan life stages. He suggested thinking about the stages as “a baby, maintaining them through being a teenager and then through to adulthood.” Essentially, prime boost research indicates that more vaccine efficacy and disease control can be achieved by combining use of intranasals with injectables. Of the emerging research, Cortese anticipates improved management protocols to come, and says, “It’s changing what we do when vaccinating young calves.

Synchronizing Estrus In Beef Cattle Resources: Dr. Rick Rasby, Beef Specialist, University of Nebraska - Lincoln Gene Deutcher, Beef Specialist, University of Nebraska
Synchronization of estrus (heat) involves manipulating the estrous cycle of beef females so they can be bred at approximately the same time. There are several protocols available for synchronizing estrus among beef females. Traditional protocols are designed to mimic or control the corpus luteum on the ovary. New protocols have been designed to control ovulation and/or the follicular waves that occur on the ovary during the 21-day estrous cycle.
Products Used to Synchronize Estrus in Beef Cattle
There are three primary groups of products used to synchronize estrus or ovulation in beef cattle: prostaglandins, progestins, and
gonadotropins. Prostaglandin products have the trade names of Lutalyse, Estrumate, and IN-SYNCH and each contain prostaglandin F2? (PGF2?) or an analogue of PGF2?. The progestin products include the vaginal implant CIDRÂŽ and Melengestrol Acetate (MGA), that is consumed orally. The GnRH products are Cystrorelin, Factrel, and Fertagyl.
ESTROUS SYNCHRONIZATION PROTOCOLS Prostaglandin Protocols to Synchronize Estrus
There are four prostaglandin protocols being used to synchronize estrus in cattle. Two of these programs require two injections of prostaglandin and two require just one injection.
One Injection of Prostaglandin With 5 Days of Breeding Protocol
Inject all females with prostaglandin on Day 0 and check for estrus and breed 12 hours after standing estrus (Figure 1). With a single injection of prostaglandin about 75% of the cycling females would be expected to display estrus during the next 2 to 5 days. Anestrous cows, will not respond to this prostaglandin protocol because they do not have a CL present on the ovary.
One Injection of Prostaglandin With 10 Days of Breeding Protocol
Check for estrus and breed all females in standing estrus for the first five days of the breeding season (Figure 2). Inject all females with prostaglandin not previously bred
at the end of day 5 and breed these females 12 hours after standing heat. By breeding for 5 days, none of the cows that receive the prostaglandin injection will be between day 1 to 5 of their estrous cycle. Cows that are cycling should display estrus within 2 to 5 days after the prostaglandin injection. This protocol can result in greater than 90% of cyclic females being inseminated during the first 10 days of the breeding season.
Two Injections with Prostaglandin Protocol With 10 Days of Breeding The two injection programs for synchronization with prostaglandin allow for females to be inseminated after each prostaglandin injection or for insemination only after the second injection. In this protocol, an injection of prostaglandin is given to all cows (Figure 3). After one injection, about 75% of the cycling females should be in heat during the next 5 days. Females that are detected in estrus should be inseminated 12 hours later. The females that are not detected in heat and bred after the first injection should receive a second prostaglandin injection 11 or 14 days later and be bred 12 hours after they display
continued.... MARCH | APRIL | MAY 2017 | CHIANINA JOURNAL | PAGE 15
Synchronizing Estrus... continued standing estrus. When breeding females after each injection, be sure not to inject prostaglandin into females that were inseminated after the first injection.
Two Injections with Prostaglandin Protocol With 5 Days of Breeding Traditionally, the injections of prostaglandin are administered 11 days apart with breeding after the second injection (Figure 4). However, recent data suggests that administering the second injection 14 days after the first injection has resulted in more females exhibiting estrus. The two injection protocol should theoretically synchronize estrus in cyclic females within 2 to 5 days after the second injection. Synchronization responses of 70 to 80% of females within a herd are common with this protocol, but can be highly variable depending on the number of anestrous females in the herd. Timed insemination with this protocol is not recommended.
Key Points • Nutrition program so that mature cows calve in a Body Condition Score of 5 and first -calf-heifers in Body Condition Score of 6. • Nutrition program for replacement heifer such that they reach puberty and begin estrous cycles at least 3 weeks before the start of the breeding season. • Females must be exhibiting estrous cycles. • Cows at least 40 to 50 days post-calving. • Good facilities to restrain and handle cattle. • Trained people in detecting estrus (heat). • Timed breeding is not recommended.
Using MGA and Prostaglandin Protocol to Synchronize Estrus
A low cost system for estrous synchronization uses Melengestrol Acetate (MGA) and prostaglandin (Figure 5). MGA is a “progesterone-like” feed additive that suppresses estrus in feedlot heifers and is not approved by FDA to synchronize estrus. However, it is approved to suppress estrus in heifers in a feedlot and because heifers are usually confined in a dry-lot during development and breeding, especially if artificial insemination is used, MGA can be used in this protocol. MGA is fed at .5 mg/head/ day for 14 days. Females will exhibit estrus two to five days after withdrawal of the MGA. The estrus that occurs
PAGE 16 | CHIANINA JOURNAL | MARCH | APRIL | MAY 2017
immediately after MGA feeding subfertile and females should not be bred on this estrus. A single injection of prostaglandin is administered 17 (or 19 days) days after the MGA has been removed from the feeding program. Most females will exhibit estrus 48 to 72 hours after the prostaglandin injection. Inseminate females 12 hours after standing estrus. This protocol is capable of inducing estrous cycles in some females that are not yet cycling. Timed mating all females or those that have not yet displayed heat at 72 hours (heifers) or 80 hours (cows) after the prostaglandin injection results in additional pregnancies. Key Points • Protocol must be initiated 31 days before the start of the breeding season. • Pregnancy rates are more variable when used on mature, lactating cows. • Females in good body condition. • Females fed a ration that MGA can be easily incorporated into. • Each female consumes .5 mg of MGA daily. • Adequate bunk space. • Females can be time inseminated but conception rates are variable. • MGA is approved by FDA to suppress estrus in feed-lot heifers.
Synchronization of Estrus Using the Vaginal Insert CIDR®
Estrous synchronization using the vaginal insert CIDR® consists of placing the insert in the vagina on day 0, giving an injection of prostaglandin on day 6, and removing the vaginal insert on day 7 (Figure 6). Detect heat from days 8 to 11 and inseminate all females that exhibit estrus. To assure satisfactory synchronization of estrus, an injection of prostaglandin must be given to all females one day before the removal of the vaginal insert. Removal of the insert on day 7 results in a drop in circulating plasma progesterone, triggering estrus within three to four days. The progestin in the vaginal insert can induce estrous cycles in anestrous cows and advance puberty in heifers. The majority of the females that respond to this protocol will exhibit estrus between 25 and 72 hours after the prostaglandin injection.
Key Points • The CIDR inserts are labeled for one-time use only. • It is easy to insert and remove the vaginal insert and little animal restraint is needed. • Follow instructions on how to dispose of the inserts after use. • After placing the vaginal insert in each female, clean applicator. • Pregnant women need to be careful and follow label directions when handling prostaglandin products. • There is a high retention rate of the insert (90 to 98 percent). • There is a tight synchrony of estrus. • Induces estrus in some females, therefore potentially more females could become pregnant to artificial insemination. • Potentially higher pregnancy rates due to exposure to progesterone prior to breeding.
Select Synch Protocol Using GnRH and Prostaglandin
A new method for synchronizing estrus in mature beef cows (not for heifers) is to administer a GnRH injection followed one week later by an injection of prostaglandin (Figure 7). Females are observed for signs of estrus beginning 36 hours before and up to 6 days following the prostaglandin injection. Cows are inseminated 12 hours after standing estrus is observed. Most cows will exhibit estrus by day 4 after prostaglandin injection although some may exhibit estrus up to 6 days after prostaglandin. This
protocol has been referred to as the Select Synch protocol. The estrus following GnRH is fertile and cows can be inseminated. The prostaglandin injection is not necessary in cows that have already exhibited estrus and not yet bred, but will not cause any harm, either. Do not inject prostaglandin in females that have been bred after the GnRH injection. Timed insemination is not recommended when using this protocol. Key Points • Not recommended for heifers. • Simple program. • Can induce fertile estrous cycles in some cows that are not yet cycling. • Cows at least 45 - 55 days postpartum. • Cows in good body condition. • Use good heat detection technique. • Time insemination not recommended. • This protocol targeted to follicle development on ovary. • Need good animal handling facility.
Co-Synch Protocol Using GnRH and Prostaglandin
There appears to be two possible ways to implement the Co-Synch protocol to synchronize ovulation in beef cows. Whatever the method implemented, they all involve timed insemination on day 9 of the protocol.
Co-Synch with Timed Insemination
A slight variation to the Select Synch protocol

Synchronizing Estrus... continued involves administering the GnRH injection on day 0, prostaglandin on day 7, and a second GnRH injection on day 9 (48 hours after the prostaglandin injection) at the same time that the cows are time inseminated (Co-Synch; Figure 8). This second GnRH injection initiates a fertile ovulation in cows that have not yet exhibited estrus. The Co-Synch protocol makes heat detection unnecessary and can yield pregnancy rates similar to breeding after detecting estrus.
Co-Synch with 48 Hour Calf Separation and Timed Insemination on Day 9
Higher pregnancy rates might be obtained by separating the calf from the cow on day 7 at the same time that the prostaglandin injection is given (Figure 9). An that calves and cows can be separated for 48 hours is needed. About an eight percent increase in pregnancy rate have been obtained. Key Points • Not recommended for heifers. • Cows in good body condition. • May induce cycling in non-cyclic cows.
PAGE 18 | CHIANINA JOURNAL | MARCH | APRIL | MAY 2017
• This protocol targeted to time ovulation in cows. • Cows at least 45 - 55 days postpartum. • No estrus detection is needed. • Need animal handling facility.
Success of Synchronization Program
A successful program requires: (1) females exhibiting regular estrous cycles; (2) healthy animals that are free from disease and on a good nutrition program; (3) a willingness by producers to learn how to use the product(s) and program; (4) a working facility with a small crowding corral, a holding alley, and chute; (5) provide and prepare for extra labor needs (6) accurate and thorough detection of estrus; and (7) females are individually identified and accurate records kept. When using products for estrous synchronization that need to be injected into the female, use Beef Quality Assurance injection site procedures. When injecting into the neck muscle, consider using a longer needle (1 Å“ inch). It appears that it is more difficult to get to the neck muscles and using the longer needle will aid in depositing the product in the muscle. For these products to act effectively, they must be deposited in the site or sites listed on the label.

TRACY CATTLE WELLFLEET, NE 308.962.4255 Some sires define their generation such as Eagle Scout or Destiny Ace. Unanimous might just be the defining sire of this EPD -0.3 60 102 18 0.52 0.29 generation of Chiangus cattle. One of the most unique bulls I have ever found. He is so good necked with a tremendous ACC 0.33 0.3 0.31 0.21 0.14 0.12 amount of body. He is big footed, rugged and stout when you look down his top and into his stifle. He has the potential to add value to any type of cow. His sons will be accepted by commercial cattlemen. His daughters will be able to show or go to straight work. Unanimous is also an easy fleshing bull that doesn’t fall to pieces when sent to work. He covered cows in the Sandhill’s of Nebraska all summer and looked better than when he was turned out. These are the kind of cattle we need in the Chiangus business. His first calves will be coming next spring and we could not be more excited to see them. BW

Rock Solid 461B is a big, stout framed bull with nearly perfect structural design and balance. As an added bonus he has one of the best dispositions I have been around. His calves are already mashing down the scales. His first set of calves have just been weaned and are consistently average 30 pounds higher than their contemporaries. The first groups had a ratio of 104.5 on average. If you sell your cattle by the pound put Rock Solid to work and reap the rewards.
