The Eaton Cowherd

at Calving Time.

Late winter and early spring is a busy time at the ranch with over 1,500 females calving. As we weigh and record new calves, calving ease and strong maternal instincts are a must.

We’ve calved over 250 first calf heifers — on or near their second birthday. The first calves by LT Ledger are an exciting new ETN Generation!

Calving Ease, Milk — 5,431 progeny

41st National Reserve Grand Champion U23 has met expectations! His first calf crop had the calving ease, eye appeal and dimension that our bull customers demand. Three of his first daughters commanded $7,500, $5,000 and $5,000 at auction. At the 2012 Houston ROE show, U23 sired the winning Junior Get. U23’s sire, 2N, stacks generations of highly proven growth and maternal foundation sires in his pedigree. His dam stacks two of the most widely used sires internationally, Till and Impeccable, in her pedigree.

U23, the outcross for your breeding program.

VIEWPOINT

CHAROLAIS

We may have lost an icon.

We must never lose his vision.

Dr. Good dedicated 40 years to making the beef industry better

The beef industry definitely lost an icon when Dr. Don Good recently passed away.

Dr. Good dedicated 40 years of service to Kansas State University and an entire career to making the beef industry better—simply an understatement to his influence and impact.

Good fired a shot heard ‘round the world when he slapped “Conoco”, a Charolais-Angus crossbred steer, as the Grand Champion of the 1969 International Livestock Show in Chicago. Until that day, the Continental influence in cowherds was hardly recognizable. Few gave a passing thought to the potential impact the confluence of English and European genetics would have on the future of the beef industry.

Not only was Don Good an internationally known livestock judge and lifelong

Analyzing the phenotype of a show heifer, the only evaluation measure we had for many years, must be combined with genetic information. Today’s winners must stand in the winner’s circle as well as stand out in the pasture as brood matrons.

Because we have better information, we know the nutritional requirements to get show cattle ready for competition must be tempered with knowing the point of diminishing return for those show heifers after their show days are over.

Don Good gave the Charolais breed a public face and international recognition as a viable complement to a beef industry needing to change. It’s been 42 years since Conoco stood in the winner’s circle. The genetic information and the evolved value-based marketing system we now have confirms the educated intuition of a man willing to make a bold statement ultimately resulting in a new marketing

“Don Good gave the Charolais breed a public face and international recognition as a viable complement to a beef industry needing to change.” educator, he was a good cattleman. Most of all, he was a visionary. Long before we had serious discussions about value-based marketing or genetic evaluation tools, Good inherently understood the economic importance of increasing yield with less feed and the role Continental genetics could play. He recognized the need of an entire industry to move in a different direction to remain relevant. He was willing to take an extraordinary risk to make the necessary statement by selecting Conoco.

One of the summer highlights of every breed association in America are the national junior shows. This year it will be held in Grand Island, Neb., June 17-22.

Check out all the details on page 25 of this issue. The focus will be on the show ring, winners, losers, and all the nuances of a youngster finding the winner’s circle.

Inevitably, there will be those who agree with the judges and those who see the classes differently. Dr. Don Good obviously saw the class differently the day he made the “smokey” steer Grand Champion of one of the most prestigious livestock events of its time.

It’s safe to say most every adult involved in the beef business recognizes the challenges young adults face in returning to the farm or ranch. The summer junior events represent wholesome family affairs. The lessons learned far exceed who wins or loses at any particular event. The excitement of fierce competition among quiz bowl teams is really secondary to the importance of the information learned through the process of studying for the competition itself.

paradigm.

We can never lose sight of the past, present and future of those willing to make a difference in our industry. Whether we agree or disagree on a particular issue or a judge’s decision on any give day, we must recognize the only way we stay relevant is through change. Young people are change makers. They are willing. The risk doesn’t seem to matter as much. The reward for outside the box thinkers will impact the beef industry for generations to come. Change makers take risks to keep us competitive, profitable and relevant as our planet gets smaller and our responsibility to produce more food gets larger.

Dr. Don Good was 90 years old when he passed away last month. He was active in 4-H and FFA as a youngster. He grew from a young, bright mind in Ohio to lead the animal science department in one of the most prestigious land-grant universities in the nation. He influenced thousands of students and judged hundreds of cattle events. His willingness to make a decision that began to change an industry should never be forgotten.

Whether a kid gets a start as soon as eligible in 4-H or a city kid in the Midwest with a first heifer project, our next generation of leaders will likely be competing in a junior event this summer. They all have the potential to make a difference.

Our encouragement and sound mentoring may determine their success and our future.

Spring is a busy time for Charolais breeders.

There are sales, shows and fall calves being weaned.

When sending your paperwork to the office, make sure to double check the information. Filling out the forms completely saves time and extra mailing costs. On-line users can take advantage of adding calves as they are born this spring. The weaning data and registration information can be added later as you have time. Putting the calf record in now helps you keep up later. You can also check your account information including the signature file, contact information, and balance. There are many reports available in the on-line report function. Some of those are ultrasound barn sheets, ultrasound reports, EPD lists and dam summaries.

Remember when transferring bred females, AICA rules require the breeding be transferred with the female and all signatures included. For example, if you are selling a female bred to an AI sire, you must make arrangements to have that AI sire signature on file before the cow can be transferred. The signature goes to the buyer with the female. Sire signatures can be sent to AICA in a variety of ways, e-mail, fax or regular mail. Please include the bull’s registration number and the number of signatures being transferred.

We had a new addition to the registration department in February. Maggie, the Assistant Recording Secretary had a baby on Leap Day. Mom and baby are doing well, congratulations to Maggie!

Hello everyone! My name is Tara Fountain, and I am

currently serving as your AIJCA Secretary while representing Area 6. I am currently a sophomore at the University of Missouri- Columbia where I am majoring in Animal Science with an emphasis in cattle genetics and nutrition.

In one of my recent classes, my professor informed us that by the year 2025 we will be eating ‘Free-Range’ eggs due to a recent agreement with the poultry industry and the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). My immediate thought was, “What has the world come to? Why would they come to an agreement with HSUS?” This made me think about a possible situation with the cattle industry. What would happen to producers if there was an agreement to close feedlots, or allow weaning to occur ‘naturally’? As cattle producers, I encourage you to tell our story: we raise cattle to feed your

generation, it is ever more important to let America know what the agriculture industry is all about. I challenge you to let someone know why you are important in his or her life, and hopefully by working together we can make a difference.

I know I don’t want to see the cattle industry coming to an agreement of the care of our animals.

On a completely different note, I would like to take the time to encourage all of you to attend Junior Nationals! It is the experience of a lifetime where you can meet kids that have similar interests as you, while competing in numerous competitions. Sometimes I think back, and I wonder where I would be if it hadn’t been for me being involved with the AIJCA. Junior Nationals has opened so many doors for me, as well as several others. You meet people here that you will never forget, and learn things that cannot be taught in the

family and beyond.

Recently, the AIJCA Board of Directors attended the Youth Beef Industry Congress, where we listened to several different speakers from the around the country. Troy and Stacy Hadrick, cattle producers from South Dakota talked to us about being an ‘Advocate for Agriculture’. Their story really hit home because we need to promote what we do! Millions of people across America do not realize or understand what we do with our livestock, and majority of those do not know where their food even comes from.

In a world full of change and opportunities for our

classroom.

The cattle industry is full of opportunities for our generation, and through organizations like the AIJCA, we can accomplish much. The things you do today will help you in the future. You will be more prepared for what the world has in store for us. I encourage all of you to do two things: 1) stand up for what our industry does! Let people know that we take pride in raising cattle. 2) Be involved with organizations, attend Junior Nationals, and put yourself out there! You never know what hides behind a closed door.

OUTFRONT CATTLE SERVICE It’s hard to believe that this is the 13th Annual Sale of Excellence. This premiere sale has been one of the most enjoyable and fun sales you can ever attend. Several consignors take their annual vacation time each year just to enjoy the fellowship that occurs among the fellow breeders at this sale. It’s been pointed out more than once that these are true “social events” as well as opportunities to merchandise purebred Charolais cattle. It’s a great weekend with lots of activities for the entire family. Everyone enjoys the “Fun Auction”, all the presale events, and the good cattle being sold. A lot of breeders go to extra effort to ensure that the reputation for this sale continues in that mold.

It also helps to have some of the best quality Charolais cattle in the world consigned to this sale! You will certainly find some of the breed leading genetics for quality beef production at this event. Lance Sublette commented that when he starts his herd back (he dispersed fall 2011), he intends to come to the Sale of Excellence! “You get to see more quality cattle at that one sale and be able to purchase at more reasonable rates than any sale I’ve been to!”

We have some great ET offerings again this year. Several of the ET calves being offered are from some of the elite programs in the breed. Several of the bull calves offer great potential for coming herd sires and the heifers may become some of the leading donor cows in the future. Congratulations to Lindsay Hudspeth, Greg Hudspeth and Andrew Doub for selecting a heifer from the 2011 Sale of Excellence, that went on to win the $10,000 Best Consignment Award at the first President and Reality Sale in October 2011. All of the President and Reality animals selling will also be eligible for the $10,000 in the 2012 Sale as well.

Good Cattle, Food, and Friendships abound at the Sale of Excellence. Come be a part of this unique and fun event!

Sincerely, Dennis Adams

H Both heifers sell open, with breeding priviledges to any bull owned by the Arlitts, including the newest addition, CWC Trifecta J825! Their dam, S1760, was a pick of CJC Illusion N111 daughters out of the DeBruycker herd! A super milking, deep bodied donor cow representing some of DeBruycker’s best genetics.

H Notice the E197 cow that was the dam of G166, a featured Donor cow at Camp Cooley, now owned by Watson Cattle Co., AR. G166 was the $21,000 top pick of the DeBruycker herd from a previous Sale of Excellence.

H Earlier, Morley also selected E198 (twin to E197) for his herd and she produced L1551, also a “pick of the DeBruycker” herd from a Sale of Excellence! Great genetics always begets great genetics!!

H Either of these heifers will make awesome brood cows! A great breeding program would be to add both heifers to your herd! The President’s have superb udder quality and volume! He will become one of the great brood cow sires!

74 PICK OF DEBRUYCKER HERD

H Since the first year, one of the highlights of the sale is the offering of the “Pick of the Herd” from DeBruycker Charolais, MT. The trip and viewing of so many good cattle is a great event in itself. However, the genetics that have evolved from this has had a major influence on the breed. Many of the top donor cows in the breed came from such “picks”. You won’t find any breeder more helpful or gracious in helping you make your selection. They will take the time, effort, and responsibility to ensure you have ample opportunity to select a great animal for your program.

H Selection must be made by August 1, 2012.

H If a cow with a bull calf is selected, DeBruycker reserves 1/2 interest in the bull calf and 1/2 of all revenues.

H If you have any questions about this lot, please contact Outfront Cattle Service or Brett DeBruycker at 406-590-3214

The New Age of National Cattle Evaluation:

Genomics

By: Matt Spangler, Department of Animal Science, University of Nebraska

INTRODUCTION

Genomic information, in the form of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms, has always held the promise to increase the accuracy of Expected Progeny Differences (EPD). This promise has finally been realized for those breeds that incorporate this information into their EPD calculations. Depending on the accuracy of the genomic test (as measured by the proportion of genetic variation explained) Marker-Assisted (or genomic enhanced) EPD can increase the accuracy of animals and lead to faster rates of genetic change.

The US Beef Industry has witnessed considerable evolution in terms of the genomic tests available in the market place. The tests that are currently being included in EPD are comprised of either 384 SNP or 50,000 (50K) SNP, although the research community has been using 770K SNP assays and even genome sequencing genomic for discovery of “novel” traits (i.e. feed efficiency, disease susceptibility, fertility). The American Angus Association (AAA) began including genomic predictions into EPD calculations to producer Marker-Assisted EPDs (MA-EPD) in 2009. The list of traits for which this is done has continued to grow and the proportion of variation explained varies by trait but is generally between 6 and 42%. Several other breeds are on the verge of releasing MA-EPD and it is likely that remaining breeds that wish to remain competitive will follow this same path.

A common, and fair, question is to ask why genomic predictions are available for heavily recorded traits (i.e. growth) and not “novel” traits such as different measures of efficiency or disease susceptibility. In order to develop genomic tests, there must exist phenotypes to “train” the markers, where training is simply determining if there is an association between each marker and the trait of interest and quantifying that effect. Consequently, the first genomic tests focus on those traits for which vast phenotypic resources exist. There are large USDA funded projects currently underway that are focused on the two “novel” traits mentioned above.

IMPLEMENTATION

The underlying question commonly asked by producers is “does it work?”. It is critical to understand that this is not a valid question, as the true answer is not binary (i.e yes or no). The important question to ask is “how well does it work?”, and the answer to that question is related to how much of the genetic variation the marker test explains. The magnitude of the benefits will depend on the proportion of genetic variation (%GV) explained by a given marker panel, where the %GV is equal to the square of the genetic correlation multiplied by 100. Table 1 shows the relationship between the genetic correlation (true accuracy), %GV and BIF accuracy.

Table 1. The relationship between true accuracy (r), information into EPD dissipate when EPD accuracy is proportion of genetic variation explained (%GV), and between 0.6 and 0.7. On the other hand, when %GV is 40 an animal with 0 accuracy could go to over 0.2 accuracy Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) accuracy. with genomic information alone. This would be the same as having approximately 4 progeny for a highly heritable R %GV BIF trait or 7 progeny for a moderately heritable trait (Table 0.1 1 0.005 2).

As such, the MBV can be included in NCE as 0.7 0.29 38 12 7 a correlated trait following methods of Kachman (2008).

This is the approach that AAA is currently using. Other 0.8 0.4 70 22 13 methods have been proposed including “blending” the 0.9 0.56 167 53 30 EPD and MBV which is the equivalent to forming an index 0.999 0.99 3800 1225 700 of the two where the index weights reflect the accuracy of the two components. Yet another approach is to use the actual SNP genotypes to form a genomic relationship Figure 1. Increase in accuracy from integrating genomic matrix that could allow for known relationships between information that explains 10% of the genetic variation animals based on genotypes across SNP loci. The latter into Estimated Breeding Values (EBV). approach requires access to the genotypes, not just the MBV. Combining these sources of information, molecular tools and traditional EPD, has the potential to allow for the benefits of increased accuracy and increased rate of genetic change.

Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the benefits of including a MBV into EPD (or EBV which is twice the value of an EPD) accuracy (on the BIF scale) when the MBV explains 10 or 40% of the genetic variation (GV), which is synonymous with R2 values of 0.1, and 0.4. The darker portion of the bars shows the EPD accuracy before the inclusion of genomic information and the lighter colored portion shows the increase in accuracy after the inclusion of the MBV into the EPD calculation. As the %GV increases, the increase in EPD accuracy becomes larger.

Additionally, lower accuracy animals benefit more from the inclusion of genomic information and the benefits decline as the EPD accuracy increases. Regardless of the %GV assumed here, the benefits of including genomic CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

ISSUE OF ROBUSTNESS

It is important to understand some limitations in the current application of Marker Assisted Selection. For instance, current marker panels work best in the populations where training occurred, but will potentially decrease in predictive power as the target population becomes more genetically distant from the training population (de Roos et al., 2008). This has also been illustrated by Kachman et al., (unpublished) who showed that 50K based genomic predictions developed for Angus do not explain a substantial amount of variation even in a closely related breed like Red Angus. The same erosion in accuracy is likely to occur overtime as well (i.e. over generations if panels are not retrained).

Discovery Target Angus Angus Closest relationship Angus Charolais Angus Bos indicus Most distant relationship

CONCLUSION

Genomics and the corresponding Marker-Assisted or Genomic-Enhanced EPD have become a reality. Within-breed genomic predictions based on 50K genotypes have proven to add accuracy, particularly to young bulls, for several traits. The push going forward will be the adoption of this technology by other breed associations. Furthermore, methodology related to the use of this technology in crossbred or composite cattle is critically needed. The crux of adoption will be getting commercial bull buyers to see the value in, and thus pay, for increased EPD accuracy. There is a still a need to collect and routinely record phenotypic information by seedstock producers and commercial producers need to realize that EPDs, and economic index values, are the currency of the realm for beef cattle selection. Genomic technology only makes these tools stronger, it does not replace them.
