WELCOME TO THE BILLAGLEN ANGUS BULL SALE Welcome We are pleased to welcome you to our inaugural bull sale!

Billaglen Pastoral Company has been successfully breeding commercial Angus cattle for over 80 years. In 2011, we founded our stud, Billaglen Angus. Since then, we have predominantly been breeding bulls for our own commercial herd, with the hope of holding an annual bull sale.

The 2018 and 2019 seasons were challenging, with drought, fires, and floods, delaying the preparation of our bulls to a standard we were happy to offer. This draft is of 11 bulls, all sired by home-bred embryo packages we purchased from Millah Murrah and KO Angus.

All 11 bulls were born before we received a break in the season, and as a result have been behind. However, their growth and maturity this spring has been impressive, because of this, we are proud to present a small draft of bulls for our inaugural sale.

Our aim is to breed easy doing, soft, fleshy bulls, with our focus on the end commercial market. We have grown our registered herd from the ground up, having purchased females, and genetics, from Millah Murrah, Forres dispersal, and KO Angus studs. We have joined our females via AI and naturally to selected local, and international sires. We have imported several embryo packages from Stern Angus in New Zealand. The progeny of these will feature in our stud in the coming years.

We are happy with the cow herd we are growing and are excited for what is to come.

We are looking forward to seeing you on Sale Day. With thanks, The Billaglen Pastoral Team

Billaglen Man of War M5 was bred from an embryo we purchased from KO Angus. Out of KO Miss Cheyenne F26, and by Ayrvale General G18, M5 was a favourite among the Billaglen Pastoral Team.

M5 was shown lightly as a young bull, before working in both our commercial and stud herds. His stand-out achievement is being awarded Champion Bull at the 2018 Angus Youth Roundup.

UNDERSTANDING The transtasman angus cattle Evaluation (tace)

What is the TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation?

The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation (TACE) is the genetic evaluation program adopted by Angus Australia for Angus and Angus infused beef cattle. TACE uses Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) technology to produce Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) of recorded cattle for a range of important production traits (e.g. weight, carcase, fertility).

TACE includes pedigree, performance and genomic information from the Angus Australia and New Zealand Angus Association databases to evaluate the genetics of animals across Australia and New Zealand.

TACE analyses are conducted by the Agricultural Business Research Institute (ABRI), using beef genetic evaluation software developed by the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit (AGBU), a joint institute of NSW Agriculture and the University of New England, and Meat and Livestock Australia Limited (MLA).

What is an EBV?

Or similarly, a bull with an IMF EBV of +3.0 would be expected to produce progeny with on average, 1% more intramuscular fat in a 400 kg carcase than a bull with a IMF EBV of +1.0 (i.e. 2% difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).

Using EBVs to Benchmark an Animal’s Genetics with the Breed EBVs can also be used to benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to the genetics of other Angus or Angus infused animals in Australia and New Zealand.

To benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to other Angus animals, an animal’s EBV can be compared to the EBV reference tables, which provide: • the breed average EBV • the percentile bands table The current breed average EBV is listed on the bottom of each page in this publication, while the current EBV reference tables are included at the end of these introductory notes.

An animal’s breeding value can be defined as its genetic merit for each trait. While it is not possible to determine an animal’s true breeding value, it is possible to estimate it. These estimates of an animal’s true breeding value are called EBVs (Estimated Breeding Values).

For easy reference, the percentile band in which an animal’s EBV ranks is also published in association with the EBV.

EBVs are expressed as the difference between an individual animal’s genetics and a historical genetic level (i.e. group of animals) within the TACE genetic evaluation, and are reported in the units in which the measurements are taken.

An accuracy value is published with each EBV, and is usually displayed as a percentage value immediately below the EBV.

Using EBVs to Compare the Genetics of Two Animals TACE EBVs can be used to estimate the expected difference in the genetics of two animals, with the expected difference equating to half the difference in the EBVs of the animals, all other things being equal (e.g. they are joined to the same animal/s).

For example, a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +60 would be expected to produce progeny that are, on average, 10 kg heavier at 200 days of age than a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +40 kg (i.e. 20 kg difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).

Considering Accuracy

The accuracy value provides an indication of the reliability of the EBV in estimating the animal’s genetics (or true breeding value), and is an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of the EBV. EBVs with accuracy values below 50% should be considered as preliminary or of low accuracy, 50-74% as of medium accuracy, 75-90% of medium to high accuracy, and 90% or greater as high accuracy.

Description of TACE EBVs

EBVs are calculated for a range of traits within TACE, covering calving ease, growth, fertility, maternal performance, carcase merit, feed efficiency and structural soundness. A description of each EBV included in this publication is provided on the following page.
