On the occasion of Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, we thought it appropriate to share some of our family’s fundamental beliefs.

What We Believe… 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.

That we should always be Thankful for the efforts and sacrifices of those who came before us and made our lives easier. That Dad is always proven right. That Mom will always love us no matter how much we mess up. That there is no better place to raise Children than in the Barn. That it doesn’t take a village to raise a child. It takes an Interested Parent. That we are Blessed to live in the greatest country on earth. That Freedom isn’t Free. That Good Cattle and Good Friends usually go hand in hand. That the rebirth of Spring year after year never ceases to amaze us. That God is real, relevant and Alive. (see number 9) That there is no better teacher than the school of Hard Knocks. That Optimism always prevails. That Effort and Hard Work are always rewarded. That if it were Easy everyone would be willing to do it. That the Future is bright and full of possibilities.

Please plan on joining us for our Harvest Opportunity Open House and Private Treaty Sale on Saturday, October 1. Watch for pictures and event details on our website. Gary & Bev Rose • Mike & Teresa Rose 3395 W South River Rd., Logansport, IN 46947 574.753.4652 • www.fourrosescattle.com

Designing Our Future

uccess may be best defined as putting yourself in position to be able to take advantage of opportunities presented to you or that you create. As breeders of Chianina cattle you have been positioning yourselves for several years to be bale to take advantage of a beef market that rewards fast, efficient growth, tender lean red meat and pounds of beef per day of age. Chianina composite cattle can accomplish these traits better than any other options available to U.S. cattlemen. Across the country this spring all the bull sales we attended were dominated by the highest weaning and yearling weights and average daily gain bulls offered with acceptable birth weights. These bulls topped every sale. Our breeders said they wished they had more of them. The good news is “they can!” In one generation you can make more genetic progress with Chianina sires than many beef breeds can make in several generations. The genetic tools are available we just have to make the commitment to utilize them in a progressive manner. Typically we have found that with the higher percentage of Chianina blood comes higher performance. Each breeder has to determine at what level of percentage can return the best results with their environment, forage system and management program With the changing agriculture economy the costs of grain inputs are going to remain high. With the market price of beef at an all time high, every

efficient pound of gain counts big! The even better news is that Chianina hybrid cattle have the unique ability to thrive on forage systems as well as grain based feeding programs putting you in the drivers seat in the beef business. This beef breed in the U.S. was built upon a solid foundation of explosive growth and the advantages of hybrid vigor. Now is the time to take advantage of the positioning that has been accomplished by Chi composites to make your operation successful in the future. I would like to introduce the two newest members of the ACA staff. Ms. Holly Hiebert from Fairview, Okla., has been hired as the Administrative/Memberships Services Coordinator and Mr. Tyler Humphrey from Lima, Ohio, has been hired as the Director of Marketing and Performance Programs. These two highly talented individuals will be a valuable addition to our ACA staff! I hope you will take the opportunity in the next few months to meet and get to know them and let them help with the success of your operation. The growth of our junior as well as adult memberships has been very inspiring in this past year. Since the March/April 2011 ACJ was published we have had over 150 new youth from 29 states become members of the AJCA! WE would like to welcome all of our new junior and adult members to the ACA and improve our commitment to help them grow in leadership development, education, enjoyment and prosperity with their Chianina cattle.

Chi Performance by Bob Weaber, Ph.D., ACA consulting geneticist

EPD Base Update Scheduled for Fall 2011 EPD Release

revised set of EPD base adjustments will be used for EPDs released from the fall 2011 genetic evaluation. The purpose of base adjustments in reporting EPD is to fix the reference point for the genetic evaluation. Recall that EPDs provide a mechanism for relative comparison of the genetic merit of any two evaluated animals. Because of this, the comparison of pairs of animals is invariant to the choice of the genetic evaluation base. Popular choices for a genetic evaluation base include forcing all animals in a given year to average zero (or some other value) for all evaluated traits (a fixed base year) or forcing a specified group of animals to average zero (or some other value). Groups of animals used to form base populations can include the breed founders or a specified sub-population, such as active sires. Selection of a base for the genetic evaluation provides an intuitive understanding of genetic trends in the breed over time as compared to evaluations where no base is set. Without a base, the mean of all animals in the evaluation will be near zero and over time, presuming selection for increased merit in a trait like weaning weight, founder animals EPDs will decrease. The decrease is driven by an increasing mean in the population which is due to the addition of superior progeny from the most recent generations. The ACA genetic evaluation uses a base adjustment strategy implemented in 2001. The base consists of 893 sires that were considered active sires in the year 2000. These sires were forced to average in 2001 what they did in 2000.

June/July 2011 • ACJ

During 2000, a number of modifications in methodology and analysis procedures were implemented in the multi-breed genetic evaluation system, conducted at that time by Cornell University, which provided EPDs to the American Simmental, American Maine Anjou and American Chianina Associations. The ACA base adjustments are periodically updated to keep the ACA base population means constant. Changes in these means result from additional information added to evaluation on progeny and grand progeny of these animals, changes in genetic evaluation models and procedures, and differences in rates of genetic change among the sub-populations in the multi-breed evaluation. The revised base adjustments will be applied uniformly to all animals in the ACA genetic evaluation system and will result in the movement of EPD values for an animal. It is important to recognize that even though all animals will have some change in EPD, not all the change in an individual’s EPDs will be attributable to the new base adjustments. New information affecting predictions of an animal genetic merit may have been submitted between the evaluations and influence the new EPDs. The new information included in the evaluation comes from a number of sources such as an animal’s own performance record, progeny records, and collateral relatives including parents and sibs. The researchers at the US Meat Animal Research Center (US-MARC) that produce the across breed EPD adjustments, which allow for base adjustment of animals from disparate breeds to a common genetic base, used data that

included the base modifications that will be applied to the fall 2011 ACA EPDs. As such, the across breed EPD adjustments released in early June at the Beef Improvement Federation can be used as published and are ‘in-sync’ with the new base adjustments. They can be used with EPD from the fall 2011 and spring 2012 genetic evaluation releases. The new across breed EPD adjustments should NOT be used to base adjust ACA EPD from the spring 2011 evaluation. The new base adjustments will result in following approximate changes to all animals’ EPDs (and trait averages): Trait Change due to new base adj. Birth Wt..................................+.3 lb. Weaning Wt...........................-6.1 lb. Yearling Wt..........................-11.7 lb. Milk.......................................+4.3 lb. Maternal Weaning Wt............+1.3 lb. Carcass Wt............................+2.9 lb. Percent Retail Cuts................ +0.2 % Marbling..........................-0.03 units Fat Thickness................ -0.01 inches Rib eye Area............ +0.12 sq. inches While these adjustments will affect the EPDs of all animals within the breed, animals will be affected uniformly. The new base adjustments will not affect or change the interpretation of the resulting EPDs or relative differences in merit between any two animals. About the author: Bob Weaber, Ph.D. serves as consulting geneticist for the ACA and provides a variety of services related to the ACA genetic evaluation and performance recording programs. Weaber is an assistant professor at the University of Missouri where he also serves as the beef cattle genetics state extension specialist.

Greetings from Indiana!

ill the rain ever stop???? I know that is the talk here in the Midwest. Most of the farmers haven’t even put one single crop in the ground and. We may be calling it summer planting instead of spring planting!!! If you have dry weather, please send it our way as we are tired of being in mud up to our knees! Hopefully everyone is making plans to attend the Junior Nationals in Kansas City, Mo. June 26-July 1. I know everyone is working hard to make this year a great success. We will have our cookbooks for sale at the Junior Nationals. They are $12 each or three for $30. These would make nice birthday, wedding or Christmas gifts! The queen contest will be held at the Junior Nationals this year. Thank you to this year’s queen, Kelsey Culp. You have done a great job. Scholarships will be awarded at the banquet in Kansas City. If you will be a high school senior next year, applications are on the website at www.chicattle.org. It’s never too early to start working on this scholarship. It's a few months away, but it is time to start thinking about Louisville. We will have our annual luncheon/meeting, elect new board members and officers. As always we will have our Silent Auction, so start digging deep for great items to bring. All proceeds will go to help the queen and other activities throughout the year. Hope everyone has a great summer, and best of luck to all juniors! ~ Jessica

Hello Chi Breeders & Enthusiasts

ell another year is quickly moving by and as you all know show season has kicked into high gear. Spring calving season should now officially be coming to an end and junior nationals will be here before we know it! It’s hard to believe that I’m finishing up my sophomore year in college already and I’ll be giving up my role as National Queen in just a few weeks. Before I update everyone on some things, I would like to take a moment and thank a few people that have really had an impact on me this past year. Most all of you know I’m currently representing the ACA as the 2010-2011 ACA National Queen. I’ve enjoyed this opportunity and rein so much and I cannot express the impact that I’ve had from this enough. First off, I’d like to thank my parents for always supporting me and encouraging me to reach my goals. Next, I’d like to thank Heather for her continuous work with our junior board and association. She honestly deserves the biggest thank you for her hours of dedication and time she puts in to making sure everything in is order. Lastly, I’d also like to thank Marna Higgins for coordinating the Queen program for the past 5 years. Without their support, I wouldn’t have the many opportunities in life that I have. Anyways, as most everyone has heard, a few new changes have been made regarding junior nationals this year. I encourage each and every person to take some time and read over the rules and pay attention to the many opportunities the AJCA has. As always, Heather and all of the junior members are more than willing to answer any questions that may come up, and we all encourage you to ask! This year, the Junior Board is excited to introduce the Big Brother Big Sister Program and we are all looking forward to having the chance to work with and help the younger members start to become more involved within our breed. We hope this is successful, and can continue this program for many years to come. The AJCA is also still doing our Junior Membership Drive. We have so many scholarships

ACA Bulletin Words From Your Board Member:

Hopefully this article finds everyone in good spirits as spring has arrived. It is truly an exciting time of year as the weather John Higgins is warmer, spring calves are growing and preparations for the summer show season are in full swing. As you read this, I hope you are making plans to attend the Jr. Nationals in Kansas City. The numbers look great this year with entries being up from the previous year with 345 head entered and 231 participants. Our youth are the future of our association so be sure to support them and guide them throughout their junior careers. Many changes have occurred within the ACA over the past year including the complete renovation and much needed maintenance of our single largest asset, our building. With new carpet, paint, landscaping and an overall facelift, the building looks great. We now have space for rent with several offices and a separate entrance. We hope the income from the rental will more than pay for the renovation. Many thanks to Don Esch for all the time and hard work he put into this project. Please try to visit the ACA office while you are in Kansas City. Plans are to have an open house/cookout/member appreciation event during the NJHS to showcase our headquarters to our membership. Another change that has taken effect is the study of genetic abnormalities testing. It has been decided to lessen the burden on our members by not testing animals that are “free by pedigree”. This should help breeders

in lowering the cost of genetic testing. Along with genetic testing, the “6.25% rule” was also written over the past year. There is still confusion over this rule, but it is simply as follows: All cattle can still be registered regardless of their percentage of Chi blood. Only cattle with 6.25% or more of Chianina will be eligible to show in ACA sponsored shows (Louisville, Denver, Ft. Worth and Jr. Nationals). The intent of this rule is not to penalize anyone but simply to keep the percentage of Chi blood up in cattle to show its value. We understand that the market will determine what it wants, and different percentages of Chi blood are needed for different applications. That’s the great part about this breed – you are only one generation away from reaching any of your breeding goals no matter what your direction may be. The most recent change within the ACA is the filling of the Director of Marketing and Performance program position. Tyler Humphrey from Ohio will come on board our team the first of June. Tyler comes from a sales management and consulting business and we’re excited to have someone with his background and experience added to the ACA staff. I’ve talked a lot about the show ring sector of our industry, but the “grass roots” of any breed is its impact on the commercial industry. Chi cattle have certainly done that. Commercial cattlemen across the country have come to understand the value of Chi cattle and seedstock demands are at all time highs. Chi bulls have topped several multiple breed sales and bred and open females are in high demand. It’s time we let everyone know that these are Chianina cattle, not just “good black cattle”. I believe the ACA is certainly on solid ground and headed in the right

direction. With new additions to our staff, a renovated building, increasing memberships and registrations, the future looks bright. I also appreciate the opportunity to serve as your board member. If you have any comments and concerns about the ACA, please don’t hesitate to call me or any of your board members. Hope to see you all in Kansas City. Sincerely, John Higgins, At Large Director

ACA Board Adopts Updated Genetic Abnormality Testing Policy

At its April 2011 meeting, the ACA Board of Directors accepted an updated genetic abnormality testing policy. The information below is just a brief summary of the entire policy. For a copy of the complete policy, please contact the ACA office. The policy takes effect July 1, 2011. AI Sires – ACA registered AI sires will be required to be tested for genetic abnormalities recognized as monitor status by the ACA based on breed makeup before calves will be registered in herds outside that of the current owner, unless they are Expected Free by Pedigree (XX-EFP). If the AI Sire is not a registered ACA sire but is registered with another association, the sire's status for breed relevant genetic abnormalities must be known according to their breed makeup as outlined below: • If AI sire has Angus genetics – AM, NH & CA status required. • If AI sire has Maine-Anjou genetics – TH & PHA status required. • If AI sire has Shorthorn genetics – TH & PHA status required. • "Status" meaning free by test, expected free by pedigree, suspect or unknown with validation from respec-

ACA Bulletin (continued) tive breed association. • The right to require subsequent testing based on current status is reserved by the ACA staff. • If AI sire is not regsitered or has a parent that is not registered with any association and thereby "commercial" – AM, NH, CA, TH & PHA testing is required regardless of breed makeup or combination. These requirements are in addition to the long standing requirement of DNA parent validation of AI sires. Both the abnormality testing and parent validation testing are at the expense of the bull owner. Donor Females – Embryo donor dams currently registered in the ACA herdbook will only be required to be tested for genetic defect of which they have been identified as being a suspect (XX-S). If the embryo donor dam is not registered in the ACA herdbook but is registered with another association, the donor will be subject to test genetic abnormalities according to their breed association requirements or with validation from their respective breed association that such requirements have been met. If donor is not registered with any association and thereby "commercial" – testing for AM, NH, CA, TH & PHA is required regardless of breed makeup or combination. These requirements are in addition to the long standing requirement of DNA parent validation of donor females. Both the abnormality testing and parent validation testing are at the expense of the donor animal's owner.

ACA Sponsored Sale Policy

The ACA requires sale animals consigned to ACA sponsored sales to be tested for genetic abnormalities of which they are identified as suspect. • A suspect animal has an ancestor

June/July 2011 • ACJ

that has tested positive as a carrier for one or more known genetic abnormalities and no DNA test has been performed within the direct lineage to that ancestor that is a known carrier to clear the animal in question of this status. Available test results and status of sale animals shall be presented at the time of sale. Any buyer of untested lots does so with the awareness that testing hasn't been conducted with the inherent risk of the lot being a carrier of a genetic abnormality at the time of purchase. The ACA is not liable for such purchases in the case that the lot is later found to be such a carrier.

An ACA Thank You

The following thank you note was received from the Southwest Region Chianina Association. Dear ACA Board of Directors, Thank you so much to Don Esch for the great donation of the Crown Royal to the SW Region fundraiser at the Ft. Worth Stock Show. Also a big thanks to the purchase made by the ACA Board of Directors. Because of the generosity of the Board, both the SW Region and the National Junior Heifer Show benefited greatly. We greatly appreciate the Board's committement to the Chi breed. Sincerely, SW Region Chianina Association Editor's Note: Don & Linda Esch purchased the original donation at the National Western Stock Show for $450 and then donated it to the SW Region Fundraiser where the ACA Board of Directors purchased it for $400. A portion of the money raised goes toward the 2011 National Junior Heifer Show and the remaining money goes to the SW Region.

Buell Family Keeps Their Chianina Cattle in Top Shape for Shows

by Amy Beth Graves, reprinted from Ohio Cattleman’s 2010 Ring Directory

M The Buell Family – Bob, Renee & Ashley Buell & Chase Moore, herdsman (left).

June/July 2011 • ACJ

ore than 25 years ago, a bull named Walco Kentucky Colonel caught Bob Buell’s eye and sparked his interest in Chianina cattle. “He was really impressive. Anytime you see an animal over 3,000 pounds and really chiseled, it’s impressive. That’s what piqued my interest,” Bob said. Today Bob and his wife, Renee, and 10-year-old daughter Ashley raise Chianina cattle, which Bob described as being an “expensive hobby.” Bob is a veterinarian with Woodland Run Equine Veterinary Facility in Grove City, and Renee is a relief veterinarian at three clinics in Pataskala, Circleville and Danville. The family lives on a 54-acre farm in Pataskala with Chase Moore as their cattle manager. In the 1980s when Bob first saw Walco Kentucky Colonel, the breed was known as being the biggest in the world. Over the years, the breed has changed a lot and is not as big or tall but still packs a lot of meat.

Buell Family (continued) When talking about today’s Chianina cattle, Bob carefully picks his words in describing what he thinks the ideal cow should look like. “I think Chi cattle are plenty small right now,” he said. “I think they could inch up a little bit. Some are borderline too small. I think they’ve got plenty of meat and mass – they just may need a little bit more frame. But that’s just the Chi breeder coming out of me. I think what they offer is their eye appeal. They’re extremely pretty.”

In 2006 and 2007, the Buells were high sellers in the Harvest of Excellence Sale in Lima, have had the grand or reserve grand in the Ohio Chi Show and in 2008 had the All-American Chi female calf.

The Show Circuit For the Buells, their cattle operation is all about eye appeal. They travel around the country, starting in January, and show their cattle at numerous exhibitions, including the North American International Livestock Exhibition and Junior Heifer Show in Louisville. They typically have 20 mother cows and 15-20 calves and yearling heifers. They also rent 15 acres of pasture and send the cows in the summer to his mother’s nearby farm. Bob described 2006 as being a great year in their competitions. He said the family had the chamAlthough their herd is relatively small pion in the junior compared to many, they concentrate on show and reserve raising animals that will be competitive grand in the in the show ring and the pasture, as well feeder calf show as be docile. at the Ohio State Fair.

• June/July 2011

Buell Family (continued) A Special Touch Because the Buells have a small herd, they keep a close eye on the cows. All the cows are calved inside and the family keeps a small TV in the house that shows live shots of the cows. The family makes its own feed mix and works daily with the show cattle. The top heifers are put in the cooling room where the temperature is kept at 60 degrees. “Everything gets rinsed once a day. We blow them out and train their hair so it will stand up,” Chase said. “We start with them young. Most of ours are real calm and easy to get along with.” Time To Come Back Home In 1999 Bob bought his farm based on the advice of a friend. After Bob graduated from veterinary school at Ohio State, he had moved down south but was ready to move back to Ohio because he was “paying a lot of money in income tax.” “We were looking for something to invest in and my best friend who lives the next street over said ‘Hey, there’s a place for sale in Pataskala.’ We bought it sight unseen except for videos,” said Bob, who added a barn to their operation in 2000.

June/July 2011 • ACJ

The Background When Bob was growing up, his family raised racehorses and it wasn’t until high school that he discovered that he liked raising cattle. As he recalls, he was a freshman in high school and decided he wanted to do something different from the rest of his family so he got a calf

through the Steer Pull, which was

limited to 65 youths who had 15 minutes to pick their calf out of 70 calves in a pen based on the number they drew. “I had the No. 6 pick the first year and when you have 60 some calves running at you, you just pick. It was a Charolais steer. By trial and error, I learned the way not do to it,” he laughed when describing how his first steer did at the Hartford Fair. “I didn’t have enough conditioning on him at the fair. He was just a big pet and not show ready. It made me think that I could do better. After that my dad got involved and said we’d spend money on females

but not a bunch of money on steers. That’s when I went to concentrating more on females than steers.” Chianina haven’t been shown at the Ohio Beef Expo for several years and Bob would like to change that. He is on the Ohio Chianina Association committee, and they implemented a sale at the 2011 Ohio Beef Expo. “It’s not about the numbers; it’s about the quality,” said Bob, who also is a member of the American Vet Association, American Association of Equine Practitioners, American Chianina Association, Ohio Cattlemen’s Association and 4-H. While the Chianina industry is improving with the size of the breed, it still needs to work on genetic problems, Bob said. “The last thing you want to do is waste a year and have a cow pregnant and run into a problem with PHA, TH or anything else genetic,” he said. The Future As for future plans with their farm, the Buells said they want to keep improving the quality of their herd and produce a heifer that Ashley can win with at a national competition. “We can always do better with genetics,” Bob said. “In college my genetics teacher told us that each generation should be better than the last one. That’s where our replacements should come from if we’re picking the bulls and females correctly. When you have a small herd, you’d better choose wisely.”

Name:...............................................................................Brittany Culp Birthdate:......................................................................April 22, 1989 Siblings:........................................................................Kelsey & Laurel Parents:........................................................................... Ken & Nancy School you attend/grade:................................. Senior at the University of Kentuky; majoring in Community Leadership Development and minoring in Business, Marketing & Communications Favorite Color:............................................................................Blue Favorite Movie/TV Show:.................................................. Burlesque Favorite Singer/Music Group:.....That’s a tough one…I listen to pretty much everything; it just depends on my mood. Favorite Book/Author:..................................The Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer Pet Peeve:...I have two main ones: Someone telling me I can’t do something or people who think they are better than others. Favorite Subject in School:.....................................My Leadership Development class Names of your current show calves:....................................... Versace – AKA: Sake Favorite NJHS memory & why:.............................I’d have to say Jr. Nationals 2008 in Kansas City. The night it poured rain, power went out and the area flooded! By the time we got back to our hotel a few hours later (a few blocks from the ghetto) the power was still out. So, we were escorted to our rooms in the hotel by the manager at the front desk. He also told us to lock the dead bolt and not to come out of our rooms once we were in because the electronic door locks weren’t working, for obvious reasons, so there was no way to guarantee our safety if we came back out…Awesome… Favorite NJHS contest & why:... Salesmanship. I’ve learned many skills in preparation and while participating in the contest that have helped me in my real world livestock sales. Least Favorite Show Day Task :......................................................Waking up early Would you rather read a book, play cards or fit a calf?......... Haha! I usually end up doing all these at shows! I guess it depends on a lot of things…how good the book is, the card game and who’s playing and the calf…Having to pick, I’d say read a book. Favorite activity outside the showring:.Riding or showing horses followed by a bonfire and cookout or dinner and a night in the city What do you want to be when you grow up?................A successful business owner What quality/skill do you have that you are most proud of?.....My determination Early Bird or Night Owl?........................................................ Night Owl, definitely Most embarrassing show moment:................................................. I know everyone doesn’t always agree on everything but whenever my family has it out with one another at shows really makes me wish I had a “mute” button for them. Why do you show/raise Chi cattle:.....................................................................I was born into a Chianina cattle-raising family. As I got older and learned about other breeds I had the option to purchase other breeds to show, if I chose to do so. I continued showing Chi cattle and still do because of their efficiency in the feed lot and ability in pastures and on the range, as well as their success in the show ring. Aside from the cattle, I enjoy being around Chi breeders. Over the years I have made bonds with other juniors and cattlemen and women and consider those who I show with extended family in many ways. Who has been your mentor & why?................. Along the way there have been many people who have helped me: Dr. Rob & Becky Sheets, Wayne & Jill Miller, Andy Tackett & Val Shields. However, my father, Ken Culp III, and grandfather, Kenny Culp Jr., have always been there teaching and helping me grow and learn. Advice to a new junior starting in the Chi breed:.............. Work hard, ask questions, listen to others when they talk and get active in the organization. You’ll learn more by participating and being hands-on than you will by standing by on the sidelines. The AJCA is a great organization with amazing supporters. Show your serious interest and the rest will be taken care of. Would we find you on the wash rack or on the blower?..................... The blower

June/July 2011 • ACJ

Brittany, Kelsey & Laurel Culp One weird habit/fact about you:................. I don’t like chocolate…or peanut butter Favorite show animal & why?................................................... A Chimaine heifer I bought from Doc Sheets. His son Kyle had named her “Nearly Perfect Cynthia” and to me she was. My nicknames for her were “C” and “Train.” They were both shorter than her given name and she was about as long bodied as a train. She was a great show heifer, put together very well and easy keeping; traits she passed on to her calves. I showed her for almost 3 years before we retired her to pasture. Through showing and selling her sons and daughters I have been able to pay for my own education.

What Cattlemen Say About Chi Cattle “Chi influence cattle in the feedlot bring everything to the table a feeder could ask for! Profit drivers in the feed yard are feed conversion, carcass weight and carcass traits. Chi’s convert, put on the pounds and have respectful carcass traits. The industry has been lacking in muscle for several years and it continues to be a problem especially if the commercial producer has been following the latest fads or genetic trends. Chi’s will get a calf crop back where they need to be in terms of muscling without affecting marbling.”

ACA All-Americans

2010-2011 42

June/July 2011 • ACJ

he ACA All-American program honors superior registered cattle after the completion of each show season. Only 24 show animals can achieve this status each year – six females and six bulls representing two divisions. All-American points are awarded according to ACA National Show rules. Chianina, Chiford, Chimaine and Red Chiangus cattle compete in the Chianina division. The remaining, Chiangus – 1CA, 2CA and PCA – vie for top Chiangus honors. The animal’s registration status determines the All-American division eligibility regardless of the type of show. For example, if an animal is a Chiangus, but the show is a division 1 Chianina competition, the animal will receive points as a Chiangus. If the animal is registered Chiford, Chimaine, Chianina or Red Chiangus it will receive points in the Chianina division. Chiangus and Chianina points are awarded by age. Division 1 – April 1, 2010 to May 31, 2010; Division 2 – Jan. 1, 2010 to March 31, 2010; Division 3 – Sept. 1, 2009 to Dec. 31, 2009; Division 4 – May 1, 2009 to Aug. 31, 2009; Division 5 – Jan. 1, 2009 to April 30, 2009; Division 6 Females – Sept. 1, 2008 to Dec. 31, 2008. Division 6 bulls – Jan. 1, 2008 to Dec. 31, 2008. Champion and division points are calculated this way: 50 to grand champions, 30 to reserve champions; 20 to division champions and 10 to reserve division champions. The points are then multiplied by the weight of the show. Class points are figured by the futurity system. Shows are weighted as follows: 1X – less than 20 head; 2X – 20 to 39 head; 3X – 40 to 59 head; 4X – 60 to 79 head; 5X – 80 head or more. To qualify, registered ACA cattle must be exhibited in at least three shows during each show season, which runs May 1 – April 30. However, scores from no more than five shows are used. Points are accumulated from most state fair shows, state shows, the ACA National Show and the Ft. Worth Stock Show. The AJCA National Junior Heifer Show is not an All-American show.

Don’t overlook a well-managed crossbreeding program

From Drovers Cattle Network Source: Greg Lardy, North Dakota State University Animal Sciences Department Head

s you evaluate the myriad of options out there for breeding programs this time of year, don’t forget about the advantages of a wellmanaged crossbreeding program. The reasons supporting crossbreeding are many. Crossbred cows are typically more productive, have greater fertility, and produce heavier calves than purebred cows. In addition, traits like longevity and adaptability are enhanced in a well-planned crossbreeding program. Data from the USDA-ARS Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) in Clay Center, NE, indicate that over their productive lifetimes, crossbred cows are 25 percent more productive than purebred cows. About two-thirds of that advantage comes from the crossbred cow, while one-third comes from the crossbred calf. Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, is the term used to describe the increase in productivity when comparing crossbred offspring to their purebred parents. Traits which benefit the greatest from heterosis are those that are low in heritability. These include things like fertility, adaptability, and longevity. In the northern Great Plains, these are all very important traits. A really great benefit is that crossbreeding influences ranch profitability. More efficient cows mean lower feed bills! More productive cows mean more dollars from your calf crop at marketing time! The amount of heterosis for any given cross is determined by the difference between the two parent breeds. The greater the degree of difference between the parent breeds, the greater the potential for heterois in the offspring. Table 1 below shows the level of individual heterosis you can expect to

Board Minutes ACA Board of Directors Minutes Southwestern Livestock Show & Rodeo Ft. Worth, Texas January 29, 2011 The ACA board of directors met on Saturday, January 29, 2011, at the Radisson Hotel, Ft. Worth, Texas. The meeting was called to order by President Melroe at 8:51 a.m. CDT. ACA board members present included Clarahan, Culp, Higgins, Melroe, Miller, Pittman, Schrick and Sheets and ACA staff members Comer, Counts and T. Winter. Board members absent included Esch, Hossle, Johnson and Stopple. Culp presented the minutes from the three previous meetings, all held in conjunction with the NAILE in Louisville, Ky., including the board meeting on November 15, the general membership meeting on November 16, and the board’s reorganizational meeting on November 16. Sheets moved, Miller seconded, to accept the minutes of the three meetings. Motion carried. CEO Comer presented and explained the treasurer’s report on behalf of Hossle. The ACA has tremendous progress on collecting old debts. We currently have approximately $4,000 in outstanding debt, over 60 days. Treasurer’s report was approved as presented. Old Business: There was no old business. Committee Reports: Budget Committee: Comer presented the report. The ACJ is running under budget on advertising income, although the January issue of the ACJ and the Commercial Issue are not included. We are running ahead of

budget on several income categories. Show & Sale: Sheets reported. National Western Sale in Denver: There were 31 lots sold. It was a tremendous sale. There was an $8,000 top on the bulls and a $7,800 top on the heifers. The bulls averaged nearly $4,000 and the heifers averaged over $5,000. There was a full house for the sale. Alan Sears handled the sale and did a good job with sale management. There is a possibility of having the show on Saturday afternoon in the Pepsi Arena, adjacent to the Chianina pens in the yards. This would take advantage of the big crowd on Saturday. The sale would still be on Sunday. EDJE Technologies underwrote the cost of the Saturday steak sandwich lunch and the Don Esch family grilled the steaks. EDJE would like to do it again in 2012. The board is happy to accept their offer. The board wants to explore the option of having the 2012 ACA Show in the Pepsi Arena. National Sale at the NAILE in Louisville: There were 21 lots sold with a $21,000 top. Fixed expenses were $659.35 more than the $4200 ($200 per head) collected in nomination fees. Commissions charged included 3% for the NAILE, 1% for the auctioneer, 5% for the ACA, 5% for Stock Options Marketing and 1% to cover the excess in fixed expenses. Sheets moved, Miller seconded, that the ACA refund the national sale consignors $100, to be sent enclosed in a letter from the sale committee. Motion carried. (This reduces the ACA commission to 2%.) Southwest Stock Show in Ft. Worth: Counts reported that 49 junior heifers, 66 open Chianina and 27 open Chiangus cattle were exhibited. The information sent to Randy Mullinex from Ft. Worth did contain the correct dates. Promotion Committee: Melroe

reported. Tanner will be attending the NBCA Convention next week. Calving books with the Hybrid Advantage logo were ordered and will be distributed as marketing tools at the convention. The new booth is very attractive. Building & Grounds: Comer reported for Esch. The roof on the ACA Building is intact and has held up well throughout the winter. The skylights have been replaced with domed skylights. The office space has not been leased. Comer will meet with an agency in February to help lease the space. Performance & Genetic Abnormalities: Winter reported. Performance: Dr. Weaber suggested that the ACA realign its base adjustments for the next EPD calculation to bring them in line with current industry inter-breed data. Our last adjustment is 10 years old. At the rate of technology, these should now be recalculated every two years. Miller moved, Schrick seconded, that we realign the EPD adjustments. Genetic Abnormalities: Winter suggested that we institute a “Free by Pedigree” status for animals that contain 0% of a specific breed. (i.e. Chiangus whose pedigree consisted only of Chianina and Angus would be “Free by Pedigree” of both TH and PHA.) This would clear up the “Unknown” status of nearly 80% of our registrations. The board took a break at 10:42 am and reconvened at 10:53 am. NJHS Fundraising Project: Melroe and Miller reported that they will have a report to share at the April meeting. To clarify, Melroe suggested that a fundraiser for the junior program be held at the 2011 Jr. National utilizing 100 Hybrid Advantage ear tags. 100 tags would be sold for $100 each. A drawing would be held at the Junior National. All 100 tags would be drawn

Board Minutes (continued) with the last one drawn being the winner. New or Additional ACA Show and/ or Sale: Higgins is exploring the possibility of adding a show and sale in a part of the country where we are not currently well represented, held at a time of the year when there are few conflicts with other shows. The Dixie National, held the third weekend in February, is one possibility. Another possibility would be to try to re-establish a sale at the Ft. Worth Stock Show. Standing Committee Restructuring Proposal, Description & Appointments: Culp presented the proposal of 10 standing committees including the structure, function and purpose. This is a restructuring of the 14 original standing committees, plus the Executive Committee, plus the addition of the youth and junior programs committees. Miller moved, Pittman seconded, that we accept the report of the committee. Motion carried. This constitutes the first reading of the proposal.

Chiangus Registration Rules: Miller and Comer have researched the issue of breeding up Chianina cattle to Chiangus status. Miller will prepare a written explanation of the clarification as printed in the ACA Rules For Registration, published in September, 2002. Schrick moved, seconded by Sheets, to table this vote to the April board meeting. The question was raised of why cattle with ultra-low Maine Anjou blood were being issued Chimaine rather than Chianina papers. The reason is that the computer defaults them to Chimaine if the cattle have any Maine Anjou blood in their pedigree. There was formerly an option on the registration application for the breeder to check whether Chianina or Chimaine papers were requested. That option is no longer available on the electronic website. This requires a simple change for the com-

puter programmer, Midwest. Midwest will be contacted to make the programming change. Selection of the 2011 NJHS Judge: The board came out of executive session at 1:20. At their meeting at the NAILE, the Jr. Board submitted the following ranked list of names for judges for the 2011 National Junior Heifer Show. Their ranked list included: Dave Allen Jim Williams Charlie Boyd, Jr. Jerome Settles Quentin Smith Sheets moved, Higgins seconded, that the ACA Board accept the judge’s list for the 2011 NJHS as proposed by the Jr. Board. Motion carried. New Business: ACA Website Improvement: Counts reported that she and S. Winter have been exploring options to make the website more user friendly. Their recommendations are: 1. Put all of the tabs down the left side of the home page. 2. Create a search function tab on the home page. EDJE quoted $385 to revamp the website. Midwest will need to be contacted for a bid as well. Heather and Sam are hoping to develop a new look that will stimulate some interest and excitement, as well as making the site easier to navigate. 2012 NJHS Presentation: Melroe reminded the board that North Dakota has made an offer to host the 2012 Jr. National. Ohio presented a proposal to host a joint Jr. National with the Maine Anjou Association. The Ohio-hosted event would be at the Allen County Fairgrounds in Lima. Available dates would be June 15 – 24. They have barn space and tie outs for 700 head, (bedding included in the barn), 10,000 square ft. of wash rack with 45,000 square feet of

Board Minutes (continued) available indoor space. Cost is $35 per head and $5,000 grounds and facilities fee. Clarahan moved, seconded by Sheets, that the 2012 Jr. National be held in Lima, OH. Motion carried. Sheets brought forth two proposed rule changes from the National Show in Louisville. 1. Cow â&#x20AC;&#x201C; calf pairs need to be nursing their own calves in order to be shown and may be required to have the calf nurse in the ring. 2. All bulls shown in individual classes must have a permanent nose ring and an attached lead.

Sheets moved, seconded by Miller, that these two rules be added to all ACAsponsored shows. Motion carried. The next board meeting is scheduled for April 1 & 2, 2011 in Platte City. The meeting on Friday will begin at 9:00 a.m. Comer shared that Bill Angel, Mgr. of the Nebraska State Fair, approached him about holding the 2013 at their new facility at Grand Island. Higgins moved, Schrick seconded, at the meeting adjourn at 2:00 p.m. Motion carried.

Minimum Percentage Rule to Take Effect Jan. 1, 2012 at All ACA Nationally Sponsored Shows & Sales ACA Board Policy Adopted April 2010

Jennifer Roach Registrar/Office Manager

Holly Hiebert Administrative/Membership Services Coordinator

"Breeding cattle born on or after January 1, 2012 must have a minimum of 6.25% Chianina blood in order to participate in ACA nationally sponsored shows or sales. Nationally sponsored shows or sales include the following: The Southwest Stock Show & Rodeo in Ft. Worth; the Junior National; the National Show in Louisville; and the National Western Stock Show in Denver." Breeding cattle with less than 6.25% Chianina blood are still eligible for registration and may still be shown or sold at any show or sale other than ACA nationally sponsored shows or sales.

We look forward to working with you! ACJ

Gehrke Farms BEEF…

Meeting the demands of the consumer

EDITOR’S NOTE: As the demand for Chianina beef continues to increase, we highlight a Chianina beef producer who is having success selling CHIANINA beef.

ehrke Beef is a family operation in Hartsburg, Ill., headed by Garland & son Troy. Troy is the farm manager and along with Garland manages the beef herd while Kathie is in charge of marketing the beef sales. All of the beef sold is raised and fed out right on the Gehrke Farm. The marketing and promotion is simple: word of mouth and advertisements in the local paper and on the local radio station. Gehrke Beef is sold by the quarter, half and whole beef and they also sell beef sticks. The local locker plant makes the beef sticks, as well as slaughters all the beef sold. Beef sticks are sold mainly to local taverns at this time, but those who attended the 2010 ACA National Sale had the chance to sample the beef sticks. Recently the Gehrke’s have been selling to a local family-owned restaurant that exclusively uses Gehrke Beef. In the summer and fall months, they also sell beef at the local Farmer’s Market.

Because they raise Chianina, the Gehrke’s believe Chi beef is naturally leaner than most beef. And cattle with a little Chi influence reach the target weight for slaughter (1,225-1,250) faster than straight bred cattle. Sometimes their customers don’t really know what “Chi” means, “but they all tell us that our beef is the best beef that they have ever had,” said Kathie. Repeat customers are 80% of the buyers. Gehrke Beef started with family and friends and grew to the customer base they have today. They also have a small refrigerated truck that they use to deliver the beef. “We pick up from the locker plant and deliver right to the customer’s home. They love that added service,” said Kathie.

On The Edge Of Common Sense by Baxter Black, DVM

The Wandering Bull

une was taking a renegade bull with a tendency to “wander” to the sale barn in Dodge City. Her son helped her load the beast in to their stock trailer. It was an authentic ranch trailer with lights that worked intermittently, gates that swung almost even, tires that didn’t match, and compressed rubber floor-planks whose 99-year warranty had expired! A few miles outside of Dodge, June heard and felt a thump, crack and crunch loud enough to be heard above George Strait on KBUF. In her rear-view mirror she watched a dark object helicopter out from under the second axle! She swerved to the right and stopped on a slant in the bar ditch. Upon examination, she found a hole in the floor of the front compartment of the trailer. The bull, butt to the front, was eyeing the hole nervously. “Simple,” she surmised, “I’ll just open the divider gate and move him into the rear compartment and be on my way.” She unlatched the gate and it swung it open. The bull was coaxed around the hole to the rear and June hurried around to close the divider. It was on a good slant. She pushed it closed and raced back around to latch it…BUT, not in time! It swung back open. Three times she attempted the maneuver, when she heard

someone say, “Can I help you?” A handsome, strong Kansas State trooper smiled. June left him to push and hold while she went around to catch and latch. When the divider banged closed it spooked the bull who tried to climb over the back gate, slid to the down side and spooked the trooper who fell back writhing in agony! He was on the ground grasping his knee! She reached to help him, “No,” he groaned, “I can do it!” He keyed his collar mike, “Officer down! Officer down! I’ve been injured and need assistance!” Within five minutes the horizon in all directions was filled with red and blue flashing lights and sirens blaring! They closed Hwy 400. Well, nobody could get around all the Dodge City Police cars, Ford County Sheriff deputy pickups, the ambulance, fire trucks, tow truck, first responders and one Wildlife and Park Service utility vehicle. After a thorough questioning, they realized the truth. The upset June told them she thought they were going to handcuff her and leave her in the ditch while they searched her rig for contraband! One big burly officer laughed and said, “Yeah, but if we’d done that, you could’ve told’em it took six of us to get the job done, and you put one of us in the hospital!”

Chi Notes… by Heather Counts, Director of Shows & Activities & ACJ Editor

s I sit here trying to decide what to write, I realize that I have now been with the ACA for 9 years! Wow, how time flies. Things have changed quite a bit since I started back in January of 2002 and it’s been exciting to be involved in all that has happened. However, other things have remained the same…the great cattle and the wonderful people we have involved in this association. The members truly make working at the ACA a pleasure. It’s so fun to see many of you at the shows each year and catch up not only on what’s going on in your operations, but with your families as well. I count so many of you as true friends and thank you for your friendship! The 2010-2011 show season wrapped up in April and the All-American’s are announced in this issue of the ACJ. Congratulations to all those who received this honor. It takes a lot of time and dedication to receive this prestigious award. Also, the Show Sire of the Year points have been tallied and TR Trail Blazer, owned by Talmo Ranch, Talmo, Ga. & Lane Land & Cattle Co., Gainesville, Ga., took home the top honors. Good luck to everyone this show season and I look forward to working with many of you at the upcoming shows. On the show front, I want to make you aware of some changes to the entry procedures for the National Show in Louisville. Previously exhibitors have had to enter cattle with the NAILE and the ACA. However, this

year, the NAILE will be handling ALL of the entries. The open show will still continue to have the additional ACA entry fee, however this will be sent directly to the NAILE, making your entry process a little simpler. The junior show will only have the NAILE entry fee this year and those entries will also go directly to the NAILE. Open show entry fees are $55/head and junior show entries are $30/head. If you have any questions about this change, please feel free to contact me. Reminder – Entries are due Oct. 1 Another exciting change that came about during the last show season was the implementation of a Chiangus show at the Ft. Worth Stock Show. This January marked the return of the Chiangus Show to Ft. Worth and it was a great showing of cattle. We encourage you to consider participating in the Ft. Worth Stock Show and helping to increase the numbers. It is our second largest national show and the Southwest Region always puts on a wonderful BBQ/Fundraiser! Reminder – Entries are due Nov. 15! Well, another herdbook is in the books! The “big one” of the year, it’s the most challenging and the most rewarding at the same time. It’s the one every Chi breeder looks forward to and the one we work on tirelessly to get out by the first part of June. It contains as much information as we can put between the covers and includes the “yellow pages” membership directory, as well as the anticipated All-Americans and Show Sires of the Year. It also contains articles on those who are moving the Chianina breed

forward, not only in the show ring, but in the junior program and the meat industry. Please take time to read the articles on these members and learn what they are doing in their programs. You might just find something to implement in your program as well. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the 2011 Herd Reference Issue. It’s always a pleasure to work with you. I look forward to seeing many of you at the National Junior Heifer Show in Kansas City June 26-July 1. We’ll be Rockin’ to 2011 as more than 230 juniors from across the country converge on Kansas City for a week of camaraderie, competition and learning. A BIG THANK YOU to all those who have sent in sponsorships for this great event – It’s your support that helps keep our junior association growing and moving forward. We truly appreciate your devotion to the junior program and hope you can attend the week and see what a wonderful event the Junior National really is. I would also like to welcome aboard Holly Hiebert and Tyler Humphrey to our staff. They are excited to be a part of our team and I look forward to working with them. And, to Jennifer, I just want to say a BIG THANK YOU for all she does at the association. I enjoy working with her each and every day. It’s been a great year so far and I look forward to working with each of you throughout the year. Feel free to call me at any time if there is anything I can do to help you.

Florentine Style Steak Recipe - Bistecca alla Fiorentina Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes Total Time: 40 minute

any in the English-speaking world would call this a Porterhouse and wonder what the fuss is about. And they’d be right in most cases; though Bistecca alla Fiorentina, Florentine-Style Steak, is featured prominently on the menus of almost all the restaurants in Florence, finding a good one isn’t at all easy. But when you do it’s heaven on earth, delightfully rich, flavorful rare meat so tender it can be cut with a spoon. Much of the secret is the breed of cattle, Chianina beef... Ingredients: Thick steaks, with the bones Salt Hot coals, ideally hardwood Freshly cracked pepper Preparation: To serve two people you will want a steak that has been well aged (go to a butcher you trust), weighs 1 1/2 to 2 pounds, and is 1 3/4 inch thick (7-900 g and 4 cm). As Vittorio Zani and Giampaolo Pecori note, in A Fuoco Vivo, a little collection of grilling recipes, the thickness is given by the thickness of the T-bone that separates the filet and contre-filet; this means that in the case of a huge animal the steak could be even thicker and weigh more. The cut? Porterhouse is best because it has both filet and contre filet. If that’s not available, then T-bone or strip steak. Once you have your steak and your coals, which should be quite hot (you should only be able to hold your hand over them at grill height for about 4 seconds), set your grill about 4 inches (10 cm) above them and let it heat for a few minutes, but not too long because otherwise it will burn lines into the meat. Drop the steak on the grill, let it sear briefly, and then reduce the heat by raising the grill slightly. As soon as the steak comes off the grill easily flip it and liberally salt the freshly grilled surface. After a few more minutes, when the other side comes free, flip again and salt. Don’t worry about over salting because the seared surface won’t allow the salt to draw out excess moisture. A few minutes more, flip, pepper (lightly), flip, pepper again lightly, and that’s it.

June/July 2011 • ACJ

The important thing is that the heat remain constant and intense following the initial very high-heat searing, and if the coals look like they’re dying down gently fan them back to life. The cooking should happen in the space of a few minutes, and when done the steak should still be rare on the inside. How much time? This depends upon your fire and your taste. One of the best tests for doneness of a steak is feel. Raw meat is squshy and soft, and as it passes from rare though medium to well done, toughening as it goes, it becomes progressively firmer, and finally unyielding. In terms of describing the feel, Bob Pastorio says: “Short course: press gently near the base of the thumb – that meaty place called the mound of Venus (really!) – with the index finger of the other hand. That’s what rare meat feels like. Press in the center of the palm. Medium. Press at the outside edge of the hand at the pinkie knuckle. Well done.” Do keep in mind that your steak, especially if it is thick, will continue to cook for a few minutes after you remove it from the fire. Therefore figure your cooking time accordingly. The Joy of Cooking suggests cooking times for steaks straight from the fridge, and says to add or subtract 1 minute per half-inch thickness of steak. If you’re using room temperature meat, the meat will cook a few minutes faster. A 1-inch steak: Rare, 10-12 mins; Medium Rare, 12-16 mins; Medium, 16-18 mins A 2-inch steak: Rare, 18-20 mins; Medium Rare, 20-24 mins; Medium, 24-28 mins What to serve your Bistecca alla Fiorentina with? In the past people suggested a pat of butter, but the most you’ll see today is a lemon wedge. And a tossed green salad, which will nicely complement the meat without impinging upon it the way a salad with tomatoes or other vegetables would. Other possibilities for side dishes include fried potatoes and freshly boiled white (canellini) beans drained well and seasoned with olive oil, salt, and pepper. And a rich red wine, a Chianti Classico Riserva, or a Brunello, or a Barolo.

Helpful Registration Information The following information is intended to answer some of the most common questions and requests about the registration process. Rush Work Work requested to be done and returned in less than one week will be charged a rush fee. This fee is $25 for members and $75 for non-members. In order to process this work and return it, payment is required. You may pay by check or credit card. We accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover. Also, if you need to have paperwork shipped back to you overnight, we can Fed Ex the work at an additional fee of $30. If you require Priority Postage, the rate is $4.95. Faxed Registrations We do accept faxed registration work and it is entered in the registration process in the order it is received. It is not considered a rush unless designated. When faxing registration work, please make sure you write in blue or black ink so we are able to read the work. Registration work completed in pencil or light colored ink does not fax well and is difficult to read. Foundation/Commercial Dams All dams are required to be entered into our system and have percentages listed. If you are registering a calf out of a dam registered with another breed association, please include a copy of her pedigree. Also, on the registration application, include the dam’s registration number, along with her breed percentages equal to 100% and her age. The pedigree will be added to our system and will appear on the registration paper of the calf. There is a $20 one-time fee to add a dam to the registry. Once the dam is added, she can be used in future registrations without cost. If you are registering a calf out of an unregistered dam, you need to include the age of the dam, the breed percent-

ages equal to 100%, as well as an ID number or name in the dam section of the registration application. The dam will then be added to our system and given a commercial number. This number can then be used in future registrations, without cost. There is a $20 one-time fee to add a commercial dam to the registry. DNA Typing & Genetic Defect Testing All AI sires and donor dams must be DNA parent verified before calves will be registered. All ACA registered AI sires will be required to be tested for genetic abnormalities recognized as monitor status by the ACA based on breed make up before calves will be registered in herds outside that of the current owner, unless they are Expected Free By Pedigree. If the AI Sire is not a registered ACA sire but is registered with another association, the sire's status for breed relevant genetic abnormalities must be known according to their breed makeup. If AI sire is "commercial", it must be tested for all genetic abnormalities the ACA monitors. Embryo donor dams currently registered in the ACA herdbook will only be required to be tested for genetic abnormalities of which they have been identified as being a suspect.Donor dams registered with another association must meet that associations requirements. Unregistered (Commercial) donor dams must be tested for all genetic abnormalities regardless of breed makeup. Registration Processing Registration applications are processed in the order in which they are received. We try very hard to handle all registrations in a timely matter. At the same time, we ask that you make sure your paperwork is properly completed before mailing to us. Here are a few things to make sure you have completed before sending in work: • Have you completed the tattoo and

herd prefix sections correctly? All tattoos must carry the international year letter at the end. Also, the herd prefix must be tattooed in the animal’s ear. If you do not have a herd prefix, please call the office and we will assign one to you. • Have you included birthdate, sex, polled status and color of the animal? All of this information must be filled out before an application can be processed. • Have you completed the transfer information? If you are transferring an animal, be sure to include the name and address of the buyer, as well as the date of sale. We must have the date of sale before completing the transfer. • Have you marked ET? If the calf is an embryo transplant, be sure to mark the box on the application. Also, make sure the dam and sire have parental verification and genetic defect results on file with the ACA. Online Registrations You can now process registrations online at www.acaregistry.org.
