Industry News & Notes Command Your Angus Future Apply for the 2015 Beef Leaders Institute by March 2.

Many have enjoyed success in the Angus business, especially in the last few years. Yet many may also feel a greater need to guide their operations and help lead others into a well-planned future that encompasses the entire beef supply chain.

That’s why the American Angus Association® created Beef Leaders Institute (BLI) for its 25- to 45-year-old members eight years ago. Participants at the June 22-26 BLI will not only gain a great understanding of how to use Association resources, but also strengthen their leadership and planning skills to help ensure future success.

“This is an impactful way to bring Angus breeders together to learn about their larger role in the beef cattle industry,” says Jaclyn Upperman, Association director of events and education.

“We hope they leave the conference with a better understanding of how quality genetics improve the marketplace.”

The program is designed to make that happen, bringing Angus producers together in Saint Joseph, Mo., for informative sessions, followed by a three-day tour across several industry segments. That includes more than a day in the Wooster, Ohio, area with the Certified Angus Beef® brand for some hands-on learning about how the member-owned brand adds value to Angus cattle.

Along the way, BLI participants will tour a feedlot, beef harvesting and packing facility, fabricator, retailer and other industry segments, starting with and pertaining to the American Angus Association.

Scores of Angus producers have found great value in the experience since 2008, which is funded in part by the Angus Foundation made possible with help from their generous supporters.

Dale Vitt, Fairview, Mont., who participated last year, says BLI stands out for the educational opportunity “to see other segments of the industry we don’t normally get to see.” He says one result is a fact-based assurance for customers that “the beef industry does put out a safe product, and I can be a better advocate.”

The Association provides transportation, lodging, meals and materials during BLI. Attendees will be responsible for round-trip transportation between their home and either Kansas City or Saint Joseph, Mo.

Industry News & Notes 4 tips for bull buying during the ‘good times’

Considerations for buying a bull during cattle markets’ high tide

With record highs in the cattle market, genetic decisions have never been more important, says South Dakota State University Extension Cow/ Calf Field Specialist Warren Rusche, and most beef can probably agree with that. But because of the “good time” cattle markets, the amount of capital at risk and the dollars at stake with every decision have never been higher.

So how does that change the bull buying decisions of producers? Although the basics haven’t changed, Rusche offers four bull-buying factors that are worth some additional consideration.

1. Longevity. One way to reduce the cost per calf of higher-valued bulls is to increase their productive life, Rusche notes. He advises producers to buy bulls that have been developed to last, and take care of them with an attitude of longevity.

Bull Cost Per Calf Purchase Price of Bull Years of Service $5000 $8000 $10,000 1 $195 $345 $445 2 $120 $195 $245 3 $95 $145 $178 4 $83 $120 $145 Assumes 20 calves per year, $900 annual maintenance cost per bull, $2,000 salvage value

South Dakota State University Graphic - Warren Rusche

2. Genetic merit. Looking at the chart below, a producer would be easily tempted to lower their standards, Rusche notes. “Buying the wrong bull for an operation just because he is cheaper will be more costly than spending ‘too much,’” he writes.

3. Accuracy of selection. As the cost of breeding assets increase, the costs of making mistakes go up as well. Any tool that helps producers more accurately identify the bulls that meet their goals will reduce that risk. Rusche recommends using genomic-enhanced EPDs, which combine the power of DNA testing tools like

the 50K test with traditional performance testing, to improve genetic selection and increase the accuracy of EPDs.

4. Reproduction. In today’s market, it’s nearly impossible for a cow to lose money, provided that she’s pregnant and weans a calf, Rusche says. He suggests a few musts for keeping a bull in top reproductive shape: breeding soundness exams, managing bull condition, and reducing environmental stress. “Having extra bull power as an insurance against injury may be worth considering as well,” he notes.

For more bull buying and cow/calf production tips, visit the SDSU iGrow blog.

Angus Convention to Host FirstEver International Genomics Symposium

The American Angus Association® and Angus Genetics Inc. (AGI) will host our first-ever International Genomics Symposium as part of the 2015 Angus Means Business National Convention and Trade Show.

The event takes place Nov. 3 in Overland Park, Kan., and will provide cattle producers with cutting-edge information about advancements in genomics technology – and how these advances impact their businesses.

The symposium is sponsored by GeneSeek, a leading provider of comprehensive genomics solutions to the cattle industry, including the GeneSeek Genomic Profiler (GGP-HD).

“We are excited about the symposium and what it will mean for the cattle business,” says Dan Moser, AGI president. “Genomics is rapidly reshaping the way we produce livestock, and providing producers with the best information available will not only help us improve quality and consistency, but also make our industry more competitive.”

Genomics researcher and entrepreneur Richard Resnick will be the event’s keynote speaker. Resnick serves as CEO of GenomeQuest, continued on pg 14

continued from pg 9 a company that builds software to support genomic medicine, research and individualized treatments.

Before becoming a bio-entrepreneur, Resnick was a member of the Human Genome Project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Resnick will be one of several widely acclaimed experts on genomics technology to be speaking at the event.

“GeneSeek has partnered with the Angus breed since 2009, and our sponsorship of the symposium is a natural extension of our longstanding commitment to the breed and the cattle industry,” says Dr. Stewart Bauck, general manager of GeneSeek/Neogen Agrigenomics. “There is intense interest among cattle producers about genomics – and this event will go a long way in serving GeneSeek’s mission not only to advance the use of genomics technology, but also show the positive impacts it will have on producers.”

The rise of genomic testing and evaluation is reshaping the Angus business at an accelerating pace. In fiscal year 2014, genomic testing increased by 32%, and AGI recently reported that genomic testing in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 grew by more than 56%.

The 2015 Angus Means Business National Convention and Trade Show takes place Nov. 3-5 at the Overland Park Convention Center in Overland Park, Kan. The first-ever convention last year attracted nearly 2,000 progressive producers from across the country. For more information about the convention, visit www.angus.org.
