e BY MICKY BURCH, MANAGING EDITOR f

New Beginnings, Fond Farewell Fall is my favorite time of year. Though bittersweet, I love the change in the air – a mixture of memories of warm summer days and anticipation of winter’s nostalgic snows. Like fall, this issue of Braunvieh World is bittersweet for me, as I’m resigning as managing editor. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know several Braunvieh breeders, attending junior nationals in Wahoo, Neb., and seeing the success of the magazine, as this is the biggest issue published since I joined BluePrint Marketing LLC in the fall of 2010. Special thanks to Bill Pollard and everyone who’s contributed through ad sales for the size of this book. Going forward, I’ll still be doing some feature writing, and will be home with my son, Miles, and helping my husband, Kolby, with our sheep operation.

Braunvieh World will be left in good hands. Traci Eatherton, Sundance, Wyo., and I have worked together on this issue, and she will be taking over fully for the Winter Issue. Traci comes to BluePrint with an extensive background in agricultural journalism, with professional experience that includes serving as managing editor of the Western Livestock Journal, director of communications for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association, and numerous faculty positions at community colleges on Colorado’s Front Range.

Several of you also may have noticed another shift in personnel while working on ads for this issue. While long-time designer Kathie Bedolli is still working with many breeders on their ads, BluePrint team member Sarah Gee has taken on several advertising assignments, as well as design and layout for the magazine. Sarah joined BluePrint in the summer of 2014 when we acquired production and publishing responsibilities for The Voice magazine, the official publication of the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders and Exhibitors Association. As a company, BluePrint feels very fortunate to have so many capable team members.

As fall moves forward, be sure to keep in mind that ad sales for the Winter Issue of Braunvieh World close Dec. 5.  On the Cover: Cornstalk Queens. Photographer unknown.

M O L LY M I R A S S O U, J B A A R E P O R T E R f

The Get Your Kicks on Route 66, Braunvieh Junior Nationals show was held June 16-19 in Springfield, Missouri.

The show lived up to its name, as the week was jam-packed with entertaining contests and activities for all the juniors.

Competitors came from across the country and the juniors caught up with old friends and made new ones.

The environment and activities fostered learning, leadership, teamwork, character, work ethic, confidence and much more, while keeping the focus on having fun with the greatest breed of cattle!

The well-organized show kicked off after haul-ins, with the JBAA officers meeting Tuesday evening. Wednesday, the youths engaged in some friendly competition with the quiz bowl, a fast-paced test of the teams’ knowledge that was both educational and interactive.

The Missouri Braunvieh Association provided lunch, and the juniors had a blast with the scavenger hunt that followed.

After cattle were bedded down in tie-outs for the night, there was a social pool party at the motel, complete with pizza.

Thursday morning, the youth demonstrated their speaking skills and knowledge of their cattle in the salesmanship contest. The Missouri Braunvieh Association kept us fueled up at lunchtime, after which the contestants were back at it for a very tough showmanship competition, followed by

the bred and owned show. Everyone relaxed and enjoyed the always entertaining and creative cow-costume contest, then prepared for the seriousness of the team fitting. Dinner at Golden Corral was a laid-back time for both juniors and adults. Friday, the week wrapped up with the grand finale, the owned cattle show and JBAA annual awards banquet, with its auction fundraiser and heifer raffle.

I hope that anyone who could not make it to the show this year can come next year, as it is an awesome experience that leaves one encouraged about the future of our great breed and the beef industry.

The junior show is a source of regeneration within the breed that encourages the youth to learn, work together and help one another out. Observing a young or new member begin the week shy and insecure, then leave more confident, knowledgeable, and excited than they were before, is what the youth program is all about, and it showed.

I want to thank all of the sponsors who supported the show. I also want to thank Don Hankins and everyone at the Missouri Braunvieh Association who put in work and helped stage this great event. I can’t wait to see what the coming year holds for the JBAA and its members.

See y’all next year in Greenville, Texas!! God bless Braunviehs! 

Samples Still Needed for BAA Genomics Project eB Y

MICKY BURCH, MANAGING EDITORf

It’s the year 2015. Many in agriculture have seen commodity price highs and lows, trends come and go, and technology change the way we produce our product. On the forefront of that technology are genomically-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs). The Braunvieh Association of America (BAA) is taking progressive steps to incorporate genomics into existing EPDs to increase accuracy, especially of young animals – but they still need your help collecting samples to get the project off the ground.

evaluation is the process of calculating EPDs,” Genho explains. “The idea is to take pedigree information, recorded phenotypes – like weights and carcass data – and genomic information and boil everything down to a single number for each animal.”

Currently, the BAA has about 300 genotypes, but it requires 400 to 500 genotypes to start the process.

Single-Step Approach

To offer this technology economically to the membership, the BAA subcontracted with the International Brangus Breeders Association (IBBA), but the BAA maintains their own identity within the IBBA. Groups of samples are mailed to Livestock Genetic Services (LGS), which then forwards the DNA on to Igenity. John Genho, founder of LGS, works with the data generated by Igenity to help develop Braunvieh GE-EPDs. The biggest opportunity Genho sees for Braunvieh breeders is to build more accurate numbers through the incorporation of genomics – a branch of science concerned with development and utilization of DNA sequences and genetic maps that represent the architecture of the genome.

So, instead of breeders having one prediction of an animal’s value from a genomics company (i.e., genomic test results) and one prediction from their breed association (i.e., EPDs), they will have a single number that includes all of the information. “Genetic 24

Parentage testing, EPDs, gene identification and other forms of genetic testing are certainly nothing new. What is new is the process and economics of the test, which are now within reach for many breeders.

“Most recently, interest has been shown in the use of a single-step method to calculate GE-EPDs – the single-step method uses raw SNP [single nucleotide polymorphism] data from DNA tests without the need for a large number of animals to build a training population,” Tommy Perkins, Ph.D., executive vice president, IBBA, explains. “The single-step method has served the smaller breeds very well and it appears that even the larger breeds are beginning to use the same methodology.”

Now, from a single DNA sample of blood, hair and/or semen, breeders can identify parentage, homozygosity for black or wild-type color, quality grade, tenderness, feed efficiency and other traits. This is important because many producers, purebred and commercial alike, utilize multiple sire pastures. “In ranch settings, multiple sire mating strategies can be used and resulting sire identification can occur. Thus, cattle producers can now determine the number of progeny sired by each bull in the same breeding pasture,” Perkins explains.

BRAUNVIEH WORLD

Further, using GE-EPDs for registered cattle in particular is the most accurate way to evaluate young bulls and heifers, Ryan Ruppert, MS, MBA, U.S. sales director, Neogen, says. “GE-EPDs combine the current EPD system with genetic markers from chips to provide the equivalent of 10 to 20 offspring records per trait for most virgin bulls and heifers,” Ruppert says. That can dramatically increase the accuracy of an animal’s EPDs, giving breeders more confidence in the animal’s true genetic ability. “Working with the BAA to genotype your animals will allow for the required genotypes to create these GE-EPDs and give the BAA the ability to better compete in this fast-paced, changing environment in the seedstock sector,” Ruppert continues. Currently, the BAA has about 300 genotypes, but it requires 400 to 500 genotypes to start the process. “Information is power and the power of genomics is reshaping the beef cattle industry – please join other BAA breeders in genotyping your registered Braunvieh cattle to allow BAA the capabilities to use GE-EPDs,” Ruppert urges.

Below is an example of an animal in the IBBA registry that has had GEEPDs generated using the single-step method. The Fall 2014 IBBA EPDs don’t include genomics, whereas the Spring 2015 EPDs do. “You should note that some of the EPD values go up (e.g. WW [weaning weight] from 22 to 24) and some EPD values go down (e.g., REA [ribeye area] 0.77 to 0.72) with a single DNA result,” Perkins points out. “Most importantly, note that the accuracies of all four EPDs get better (higher) – for example, birth weight EPD accuracy goes from 0.28 to 0.46 with the single DNA result.”

Yearling Weight

0.72 / 0.47

Fall 2014

0.2 / 0.28

22 / 0.26

47 / 0.21

0.77 / 0.22

Without question, young, unproven animals receive the biggest benefit from DNA technology. “The higher the EPD accuracy, the less impact DNA results will have on the actual EPD and/ or the accuracy of the EPD,” Perkins explains.

Understanding the importance of the newest technology and transitioning to its use will put the Braunvieh breed in a good position. “I’m confident that breeders who choose to incorporate GE-EPDs in their herd will have a marketing advantage in the future,” Perkins concludes. “This validation will give buyers more confidence in the animals they are purchasing.”

It is important that Braunvieh breeders take a serious look at this tool to improve the accuracy of their EPDs.

A FEW WORDS FROM JOHN GEHNO Our goal here at LGS is to provide the best genetic predictions (or EPDs) we can to our customers. As we’ve looked through the Braunvieh data, we’ve realized there are two opportunities for increasing the value of the BAA EPDs. They are: 1) increasing the amount of data coming from breeders, and 2) using genomic tests.

Increasing the amount of data coming from breeders doesn’t necessarily mean breeders need to gather more data.

Instead, we need to create ways to capture data that breeders are already collecting.

As we’ve developed the online registry, we’ve kept this in mind and developed a user-friendly format for breeders to enter data such as birth weights and weaning weights. This increase in data will increase the accuracy of the EPDs we generate, which will greatly increase their value.

FALL 2015

Genomics is an area where there have been many ups and downs over the past several years. Contributing to the confusion and frustration has been the fact that tests have not been marketed and reported through breed associations. Instead, a parallel channel of information flow has been created, which has given breeders two sets of numbers: EPDs from their association and genomic predictions from a genomics company. LGS will correct this issue by offering a genomics test that will be available through IBBA/BAA. The results of this test will flow directly to the association and will be automatically incorporated into the EPDs. We hope you will take advantage of the new tools this change will provide you as Braunvieh breeders. We’re optimistic these changes will be for the better, and we look forward to the opportunity to work with each of you improving BAA EPDs.

Meet the Guest Speaker Jerry Crownover, Ph.D., was raised on a diversified livestock farm, deep in the heart of the Missouri Ozarks. After graduation from Gainesville High School, he enrolled at the University of Missouri in the College of Agriculture, where he received a bachelor’s degree in 1974 and a Master’s of Education degree in 1977. He taught high school vocational agriculture for five years, then enrolled at Mississippi State University, where he received a doctorate in agricultural and extension education. Crownover served as a professor of agricultural education at Missouri State University (MSU) for 17 years. In 1997, he resigned his position at MSU to do what he originally intended to after he got out of high school – raise cattle. He now works and lives on a beef cattle ranch in Lawrence County, Mo., with his wife Judy and sons Seth and Zach.
