Ohio Angus Breeders,

This year has again been unique for the abundance of moisture that most of the state has experienced. The majority of Ohio is rated at normal or above normal for moisture at this point in the summer. From what I’ve been hearing most people are way behind on making hay cuttings because of not having enough dry windows to work. Unfortunately this will affect to quality and amount of hay reserves this winter. Although it should make for tremendous fall grazing. Hopefully everyone will be able to get caught up and have adequate hay. After similar conditions last year and the many issues that were seen with open and/or short bred cows along with lighter weaning weights. Make sure you are paying attention to the quality of the your feed sources and that the nutritional needs of your cow herd are being met.

The Buckeye Best of Both Worlds Sale -Volume 8 is to be held on November 23rd. The sale again will be co-hosted by both Ohio Angus and Ohio Simmental Associations. The consignment deadline will be October 1st. Anyone looking to consign can find the consignment form on the Ohio Angus website.

The fall sale season in Ohio and surrounding state is about to kick-off. There will be a large selection of leading Angus sales for anyone that’s looking to expand their herds. Many of the Ohio sales are advertised in this newsletter and the upcoming October newsletter.

The Ohio Farm Science Review will be on September 17-19 at the Molly Karen Ag Facility in London, OH. Over 125,000 visitors attended the show over all 3 days. The Ohio Angus Association and American Angus Association again teaming up on the Angus Building to promote the Angus Breed! If you are interested in participating by displaying cattle, please let me know.

Thanks,

MARYSVILLE, Ohio — The 2019 Ohio Cattlemen’s Foundation Young Cattlemen’s Conference (YCC) hosted 19 cattlemen and women for a three-day leadership development program in central Ohio, Aug. 8-10. The conference was made possible through the support of program sponsors, Farm Credit Mid-America, Ohio Beef Council, Ohio Corn & Wheat Growers Association, Ohio Soybean Council and the Rick Malir & Bonnie Coley-Malir Beef Leadership Fund.

YCC kicked off Thursday evening at the Ronald McDonald House of Columbus where participants were able to tour the house and learn about its mission. Attendees also had the opportunity to network over a beef dinner with members of the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association’s Board of Directors, program sponsor representatives and other industry professionals. Vice President of Wendy’s Protein Procurement and Innovation, Quality Supply Chain Co-op, Inc. (QSSC), Dr. Henry Zerby, served as the guest speaker for the evening and shared his thoughts on the future of the beef industry and some of the challenges it faces moving forward.

On day two of YCC, conference attendees participated in a mini-Beef 509 session with Dr. Lyda Garcia, assistant professor of meat science for The Ohio State University’s Department of Animal Sciences. This hands-on experience included learning how meat is graded, the fabrication of wholesale and retail cuts, and other issues that can impact beef quality and pricing.

Participants also viewed the champion beef carcasses from the 2019 Ohio State Fair and visited The Ohio State University’s football practice facilities.

Ohio Cattlemen’s Association (OCA) staff then discussed the value of membership and the role OCA has in legislative and regulatory issues; participants also heard from Executive Director of Government Affairs for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), Allison Rivera, about the latest federal issues impacting the cattle industry. The afternoon was spent at the Ohio Statehouse where participants met with Representative Darrell Kick (District 70). Representative Kick, who sits on the the House Agricultural and Rural Development Committee, spoke about current Ohio legislation affecting the beef cattle industry and

answered questions from the group.

That evening, participants were hosted at the home of program sponsor, Rick Malir and Bonnie Coley-Malir. While there, attendees were able to network with one another and learn more about the couple’s agricultural roots and their passion for the beef industry and professional development.

The final day of the conference was kicked off by Ohio Beef Council (OBC) staff, with a discussion regarding OBC’s role in checkoff collection and beef promotional efforts in Ohio. Attendees also participated in a spokesperson training program coordinated by Director of Grassroots Advocacy and Spokesperson Development for NCBA, Ryan Goodman.

Goodman led participants through a media training session that strengthened their communication skills, encouraged attendees to tell their beef production story and helped them become more effective cattle industry leaders.

The purpose of YCC is to offer emerging Ohio beef industry leaders and young producers the opportunity to build their own leadership skills as they network with beef industry leaders, government officials, businesses and media. Young beef producers interested in attending the 2020 conference should contact the Ohio Cattlemen’s Foundation at 614-873-6736 or email cattle@ohiocattle.org.

Angus Juniors Take Center Stage at LEAD Conference

along the way. Also the memories tied to the culture of the areas we toured as well.”

During this event, attendees had the opportunity to interact with the NJAB and make connections with other Angus youth. They took part in leadership workshops and participated in team building exercises organized by the NJAB who planned the conference alongside the events and education department.

The location and lineup of events change every year and requires plans to be made months in advance.

“It’s a great opportunity for juniors to develop their leaderships skills, network within their age groups and further those connections, as well as getting to learn a lot more about the industry itself from all different aspects,” said Madeline Bauer, events coordinator for the American Angus Association. “Getting to see them have fun and make friendships that are going to last them a lifetime is really worthwhile. All the hard work that gets put into events, seeing the kids light up and say I’ve never seen this before or that’s really cool, makes it really satisfactory.”

This year was a great success with attendees from all over the country ranging from ages 14-21.

These juniors represented Ohio at the 2019 LEAD (Leaders Engaged in Angus Development) Conference, Aug. 1-4 in Nashville, Tenn. Pictured from left are Kinsey Crowe, Eaton; Renee Hamilton, Pataskala; Ellie Kidwell, Walhonding; McKayla Raines and Ty Raines, both of Seaman; and Kristina Scheurman, Warsaw. More than 150 juniors from 31 states and Canada attended the conference, “Angus: Live from Nashville,” where they enhance leadership and interpersonal skills while learning more about the beef industry.

From Aug. 1-4, more than 150 National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) members took part in the annual Leaders Engaged in Angus Development (LEAD) Conference held in Nashville, Tennessee. The four-day conference was packed with workshops, farm tours, the opportunity to see some of the city’s most iconic sights and networking within the breed. The goal of the conference is to help develop leadership qualities in Angus youth so they can become better producers, advocates and supporters of the breed and agricultural industry as a whole. This learning opportunity gives juniors the chance to meet with industry professionals, ask questions and improve their knowledge base.

“The conference truly opened the eyes of our juniors, helping them to see a side of agriculture they have never seen before or visiting some of the most prestigious Angus operations in the country,” said Jera Pipkin, NJAA membership director. “The kids left here with a renewed perspective of themselves and tools for their leadership toolbox.”

This year’s theme “Angus: Live From Nashville” rang true as members experienced the city’s historic downtown area and attended a show at the Grand Ole Opry. The junior members also paid a visit to the headquarters of CKE Restaurants, the operators of Carl’s Jr.® and Hardee’s®. They were given the chance to see their test kitchen, state-of-the-art technology and hear about how they market their products. Attendees even got a chance to tour Ingram Angus and Deer Valley Farms where they saw a freeze branding demonstration, participated in various educational sessions and learned about the different challenges in starting an operation. A dance at Deer Valley Farms on the last night of the conference gave everyone a chance to have fun and celebrate.

Throughout the event, the six retiring National Junior Angus Board (NJAB) officers gave their retiring thoughts and passed the torch onto the new team.

“The LEAD conference is a chance for the kids to learn about different aspects of the industry, as well as the culture of the cities we tour as well,” said Brody Fitzgerald, NJAA leadership director. “You don’t understand how many connections you can make until you come to this conference. When it comes to LEAD, I think for me personally, it was all about the connections I made

Making the Most Out of $M

By Kelli Retalick

Earlier this year the American Angus Association released a new maternal dollar value index ($Value), maternal weaned calf value ($M). The $Value aims to predict pre-weaning profitability and includes traits that affect the profitability of the commercial cow-calf herd from conception to weaning. The underlying breeding objective being that a commercial producer will replace 25% of their breeding females in the first generation and 20% of their breeding females in each subsequent generation with replacement heifers retained from within the herd. The rest of the cull female and male progeny are presumed to be sold as feeder calves with the assumption that commercial producers get no economic benefit from postweaning traits.

Nine traits directly affect this index including calving ease direct (CED) and maternal (CEM), weaning weight (WW), maternal milk (Milk), docility (DOC), heifer pregnancy (HP), mature cow weight (MW), foot angle (Angle) and claw set (Claw).

Since the release of $M, many producers have asked, “How do I get the most of out the $M index?”

The answer to this question is simple — record!

In order to increase the accuracy and efficiency of $M for individual herds, members need to be sure they are recording the necessary phenotypes to increase the accuracy of the underlying traits. Most producers do a great job of recording all their weaning weights in their herd and that pays dividends to increase accuracies of two very important traits in $M, WW and milk expected progeny differences (EPDs).

In fact, members of the Association have sent in more than 9.2 million weaning weights over the years through the Angus Herd Improvement Records (AHIR) program, which is beyond impressive. However, when we start to look at mature cow weights, docility scores, heifer pregnancy records or foot scores, members have recorded just over 220,000, 298,000, 100,000 and 20,000 of these observations, respectively, to date.

One must realize that the recording and scoring systems for these traits haven’t been around nearly as long as a trait like weaning weight. Nonetheless, in order to take full advantage of the $M index and all it can possibly do to help aid in selecting profitable individuals for the preweaning sector, increased data recording is imperative.

Increased data recording results in more accurate EPDs. More accurate EPDs leads to more accurate $Values. More data recording also leads to more variation in EPDs because more data collection from differing environments helps to captures more variation for these traits. More variation increases the spread of these EPDs allowing producers to find the very best animals for each individual trait and in return the very best animals for individual $Values.

While additional data collection, no doubt, takes addition time and effort, one could consider that the benefits of more accurately and objectively describing the cowherd can clearly outweigh the costs of data collection.

In Figure 1, one can see the parameters surrounding data collection of these maternal traits.

One may ask for example, “Why is it important to collect mature height (MH) if it is not included in the index?”

Mature height (MH) is correlated (or has a relationship) to mature weight, meaning the variation captured in MH helps us to further explain the differences in MW and vice versa. The more holistic data collection members can capture across the board not only increases the accuracy of the $Values, but also continues to validate the genomic predictions and EPD accuracy.

All in all whatever one’s motivation may be, good, honest performance data collection and accurate pedigree recording will always be crucial when it comes to accurate genetic selection tools. For more information about AHIR performance recording of any kind feel free to contact the Performance Programs Department at 816-383-5100.
